Can i upload ipod music into itunes library?

I want to put my ipod music back into the itunes library, and i dont know how. Is there any way to copy and paste, cuz it doesnt seem to be working..I want to upload the ipod music into the library so i can put the music onto my cell.
well i hope i can get some help, cause its frustrating me.

Syncing between iTunes and iPod is intended to be one-way: from iTunes to iPod. The exception, with recent versions of iTunes, is that content purchased from the iTMS can be copied from iPod back to iTunes.
There are (nearly) countless third-party utilities for recovering music and other content from iPods, however, so perhaps you should have a look around the Internet for something that meets your needs.

IPOD Music into Itunes Library!

Can somoene explain to me how I can manage all the music that is currently on my IPOD (just MP3's) within Itunes software so I can create playlists etc..
I had to re install Itunes and it doesnt show any of the music on my IPOD even though my IPOD has about 3GB of MP3's on it.
Thanks!

HT1451 I can't see ipod on the itunes library page anymore. how do i transfer musci from my library to my ipod?

I can't see ipod on the itunes library page anymore. how do i transfer music from the hard drive to my ipod now?

Click on the button for the iPod on the iTunes header bar, e.g.:
or go to the View menu and select "Show Sidebar" after which iTunes 11 will look much as earlier versions did. From there the process is exactly the same.
Regards.

Why after loading all music into Itunes library does it erase every song on there a few days later?

Your signature line shows you have a Sony. Vaio users worldwide are seeing this.
It's some Sony software conflicting with itunes.

Cannot get Music into Itunes Library

Stumped on this one, need help. Using a PC, brought in music from external hard drive to my own. Followed posted web instructions to add folder to library. Result is all new music shows up in i tunes music folder, but not on I tunes library. Without actually playing each song individually, (physically double clicking them from I tunes music folder), how do I now get almost 30 Gig of music to show in my I tunes library. Current library shows 27 gig, should be 57 gig with new music.
PC Windows XP

I too can't get music into itunes. Running XP on a Dell box-of-some-kind. Installed itunes, fine. It imported most of my existing music on start-up just fine; most of the music is on two external hard drives. My music library was too big for the 80gb ipod, so I set to manual sync. It found the ipod. So far so good.
Some of the music wasn't in the itunes library after the initial install. When I went to put it there manually, nothing happened. Tried drag and drop on the library music icon. Tried "add file". Tried "import". Tried deleting the file on the itunes library, the hard drive and the ipod, and re-ripping it in windows media player (mp3 format), then tried steps above again. Nada. Rebooted, tried same steps again. Zip. It's not like these were just some folders that were missed; these are songs missing from albums, where the other songs on the album imported and these ones didn't. I even tried deleting the entire albums, re-ripping them, and re-importing them; now none of the songs in those albums will show up. I read that itunes won't copy duplicate files and won't give feedback, and I tried the posted work-around with the equivalent of the option key. Still no joy. (all the music file formats are mp3)
All this music is purchased and ripped from cd's, or is my own recorded stuff. Nothing pirated. I can uninstall and reinstall itunes, but will that be likely to resolve my problem? Running itunes 7.
Also can't import movies or anything else. Checked the help on itunes, and found nothing there. Does itunes simply have a limit to how much content it will allow in its libraries? Anybody know of a book on itunes 7 that has good trouble-shooting tips?

Can't get old songs into iTunes library

When I first started downloading iTunes it was going through my computer and putting my old songs into the library. Once it got done with the first 34 songs it quit putting any other songs into the library. Now I can't get any more of the songs into the library. How can I get the other songs into iTunes?

If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and it won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

Reinstalled computer - How to put ipod tunes into itunes library?

Hi sure there is loads answered this but i couldn't see exactly what i needed so apologies if i am repeating but i have a headache ><
My laptop suffered a terrible virus and i had to format my HD. Now everything is reinstalled phew
However, my ipod still has its music on it, i want to put that music back onto my laptop via my itunes library.
I am worried that by using sync i will erase all the ipod music. as 'sync' will sync the ipod to the (Empty)Library.
I need to sync the music on the ipod to the Library, so I will have my original Library from before back!
Hope this makes sense, thanks for any help

You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes. The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod.

The transfer of purchased content to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7, look under under File>"Transfer Purchases from iPod". A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
If your iPod is set to update automatically you just need to take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Trouble downloading purchased music into iTunes library

I am trying to download my recently purchased music into my iTunes library, but I am continuously getting a "Error 8003" message telling me to check and make sure the connection to the network is active, even though it clearly is. Any solutions?

Yes.
It appears in the purchased section of iTunes, but not in the music section.
It does exist in the iTunes folder

I just want to know how to get it to appear with all my other music in the "music" tab
of iTunes.

Can't seem to figure out why I can't load my music into Itunes??

Hello Hello!
Ok so I updated my itunes lately and for some reason I can't seem to load any new songs into itunes (I do it the manual way *file *add file to library *click or highlight songs and press *open) and it still wont show up on itunes. Is there a simple solution to this??
Thank you

In fact the Store is not using the Feedburner feed but the one at
http://www.mvccfrederick.com/podcast/mvccpodcast.xml
There appear to be no problems with the feed; all the episodes appear when subscribing in iTunes. Sometimes the Store does seem to get stuck and fail to update; and there have apparently been some problems about updating recently which might be related. Apple's engineers know about those and are working on them.
I can only suggest emailing Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and asking them to re-index your podcast: this might do some good.

What is the easiest way to get music into itunes library?

Hey everyone, what is the easiest way to get my songs into itunes without importing them one by one. For example, if you download several songs with Limewire is there a way to make them automatically download into Itunes or do you have to add file or import them manually. I tried to be slick and change the folder that the limewire was saving songs into to make it the same as the itunes library folder. I didn't do something right apparently cause I still have to either add file or import to get the songs. I wish there was a way to just auto download them into the itunes or scan the computer for new songs.

Does this software do what you want?

Putting iPod Music into new library?

I got the ipod nano for Xmas, and I put a ton of songs on it. However, I put the songs on it from a different computer (I was at my Grandma's at the time).
The songs are on the iPod, however, I need to bring them to the new library on my computer somehow, because whenever I clicked Library they aren't showing.

Go back to Grandma's and do the following.
1. Bring up iTunes and export the 'Music' library.
2. If you can, e-mail the exported list file to yourself or copy it to CD.
3. Go to your PC and retrieve the e-mail and save the file somewhere on your system or if you put it on CD then do step 4.
4. Bring up iTunes and import the file.

Can't upload new songs into old library?

I had another itunes account under another email... I moved... I misplaced my ipod & went on with my life.
I found my ipod. I created a new acct with my new email & bought a bunch of songs. Now there's some foolishness that I can't have 2 libraries & so I can't get my new songs on the ipod with my old stuff. There are threats of deleting the old library for the new & I can't have that!
Any suggestions appreciated before I put my ipod back in a drawer. Please feel free to point me to another thread or a section in a manual. I've given up trying to find the answer myself as I am old, cranky & up way after my bed time.
Thanks

Welcome to AD!
There are a few ways to approach this.
First off, authorize your PC under the old account. If you have forgotten the details, use these directions to recover your old account info.
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/password/
You might need to contact iTS support if you can't get to the old email.
Once you get the PC authorized with the old account, you should be able to use the "Transfer Purchases" feature - and not erase anything.

Can't upload individual files into ITunes.

I click Add to library and go to a folder. I used to be able to double click on the folder to expand it and add an individual file from within. Now the whole folder gets uploaded. Now to add individual files from a folder, I have to first drag the file elsewhere, like my desktop, and add it to the library from there.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
You can still add individual tracks by selecting add to library, chose folder then track.
