Can't get songs off my ipod onto into my Itunes

Hello,
Recently my computer crashed and the hard drive was replaced. I had to re-install all my programs again including itunes. pretty much none of my music was backed up, but it is all still on my ipod. When i re-installed itunes, and i tried to connect my ipod to get all the songs back off and into my itunes library it is saying my ipod is registered with another computer. So when i first registered my ipod with this same comp it has somehow stayed like that, and i cant get it to register with the new Itunes i have downloaded since getting the hardrive replaced. Can someone tell me how i could cancel my old account and register my ipod with my new itunes? I hope this makes sense, I need some help please!
Thanks in advance!

In the past I resorted to using a program called, iDump. It moved all my songs back to iTunes. Have you thought about one of those neat utilities that transfer music from an ipod back to the computer?

  • How can I get songs from my iPod onto my computer?

    I had to re-install windows on my computer about a week ago. I was under the impression that I could get my music and playlists back just by pluging my iPod into my computer and then i thought the ipod would snyc with itunes and put all of my music back onto the computer along with my playlists. However, i can't seem to get this to work... any help? I think i've heard of ways to just rip the music off, but what i would really like are the playlists that i had as well...

    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 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. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

    I can't get the music off my ipod into my library... arg why won't it let me?

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

As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not work with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

    There is a new function in iTunes 7 under File, "Transfer Purchases from iPod" which transfers iTMS purchases. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

  • How do I get songs on my ipods back into my itunes library, which was lost due to hard drive crash, How do I get songs on my ipods back into my itunes library, which was lost due to hard drive crash

    Due to a hard drive crash I lost my entire Itunes library.  Majority of this was from an extensive CD library that I imported into itunes.  When I reloaded itunes and viewed my library I only found the titles purchased from itunes.  How do I get music off of an itune classic & itune nano ipods and put back into the library so I don't have to re import my extensive cd collection

    If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
    1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
    2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
    3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
    If you didn't purchase them through Itunes, then you'll have to download software that will strip the songs from your iPod. And here is a guide about how to transfer ipod songs back to computer. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • How to get song off my iPod Touch into iTunes

    Hello,
    I just bought a new laptop and I'm trying to get all my music (non of which was purchased from iTunes) into iTunes on my laptop. I've tried a few apps that supposedly do this, but they didn't work and I don't have the option to use my Touch as a hard drive so some directions I found on the net wouldn't work in that situation.
    Is there an easy 'free' way to do this with an iPod Touch?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Senuti has just released a beta that does do exactly this. Obviously one accepts that this IS a beta and there are no guarantees, but I tried it yesterday and it caused me no problems. You might want to change the Transfer location in the preferences forst; but then maybe some won't.

  • How do I get music off my iphone and into my itunes

    I had several CDs that I had downloaded into my itunes and put them on my iphone. Then my computer crashed and I had to get a new one. Now none of those cds are in my library but they're still on my iphone. How can I get them off my phone and into my itunes? I cant sync any new music because it says my phone is synved with another itunes library and if I do, everything on my phones gonna be erased. Help????

    You should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • How can you delete songs off the ipod without deleting songs off your itunes library?

    How can you delete songs off the ipod without deleting songs off your itunes library?  My son's ipod automatically synced all the songs in my library to his ipod which he now wants to get rid of.  Is there a way to delete them all without me having to erase my library?

    Do not select the songs to sync, then sync.

  • Software to get songs off an iPod

    what's the best software to get songs off an iPod on windows?

    Hi BigRedCube,
    There are lots of good programs that can transfer your songs form your iPod. I specially like two, though.
    In my opinion, [iPod Access|http://www.findleydesigns.com/ipodaccess/index.html] ou o [iRepo|http://www.purpleghost.com/index.php?q=irepo] are excellent, once they have iPod Touch/iPhone compatibility and can also transfer your important metadata.
    Hope this helps!

  • My laptop recently crashed and is unsalvagable with my itunes library on it.  My ipod touch has all of my music still on it.  Is there a way that I can put the songs on my ipod onto itunes on my new computer??

    My laptop recently crashed and is unsalvageable with my itunes library on it.  My ipod still has all of my music still on it. 
    Is there a way that I can put the songs on my ipod onto itunes on my new computer without loosing them or having to buy them all over again?

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your iPod for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
