Cant load my nano songs back into computer

I had a hard drive loss on my wind 2000 xp.my i pod still has all 475 songs on it but want to upload these on my program rather than losing them all.what next?

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 tracks has recently been introduced with iTunes 7. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows 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. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not have caught up with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

For more on new function in iTunes 7 look under 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
If your iPod is set to update automatically 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 *No* (or "Cancel" if you are using iTunes 7). Pressing "Yes" (or Erase and Sync in iTunes 7) 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. In iTunes 7 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 quite a small outlay.

  • How can I move my mp3 songs back into iTunes?

    Can you help me???
    I accidently moved a group of MP3 files (songs) from my iTunes to the trash.  After doing a little research, I saw the suggestion of creating a folder on my desktop and dragging them from the trash to the new desktop folder.  So, I did that, and as far as I can tell, the songs are all in the folder on my desktop.  But when I try to drag the songs from the desktop folder to itunes, I get this message: 
    "Attempting to copy the disk Macintosh HD failed.  You do not have enough access privaleges for this operation." 
    This makes no sense to me.  This is my private computer so I should have all the privaleges I need to do anything, right? Anyway, can you help me move the songs back into iTunes?  I have iTunes 11.1.1.  Thanks!

    It says you are trying to copy the "HD disk" so abviously not allowing that operation.
    Open iTunes and from the menu select File>Add to Library... then select the Desktop from the sidebar and pick the folder containing the songs > click 'Open'

  • Hard drive crashed and need to transer songs back into iTunes from my iPod

    Help! I'm a newbie to this site, so I don't know if this question has been asked before, so please forgive me if it's been posted 1,000 times! My hard drive crashed so I had to have everything reinstalled on my laptop. I've got iTunes back, but it won't allow me to transfer my songs from my iPod into iTunes- I know Apple doesn't want people sharing their iPod libraries with each other so that we'll all still pay for songs, but I don't want to lose everything on my iPod or have to pay for the songs I bought again to get them back into iTunes. Is there any way I can get iTunes to download the songs back into it from my iPod? I heard of Senuti, but that only works for MAC users, and I'm on Windows XP. Any suggestions? TIA!

    1) Make sure you can view hidden files. In MY computer go to tools>folder options>view>show hidden files and folders.
    2) Windows should see the ipod and your music should be on your ipod in several hidden folders. To be safe I would copy it all to say your desktop.
    3) Install Itunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and the Ipod updater http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/ (if you don't already have it installed)
    After that drag the copied folder to Itunes (drag and drop or in Itunes (File>add folder to library)
    4) Plug ipod back in Itunes should see it and want to delete the contents say yes as it should all now be in your library.
    YOu may need to authorise Itunes music store again by playing one of the purchased songs and than logging into your account.

  • Cant load photo black ink cartridge into HP 5520 printer

    Hi there,
    Cant load photo black ink cartridge into HP 5520 printer.

    Hi,
    The Photo ink cartridge is not intended for the Photosmart 5520, the printer uses Black, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow ink cartridges as listed below as an example (The same applies for the US with the 564 ink cartridges):
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03340400&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=uk&dlc=en...
    As you may find below as an example, the Photo Ink Cartridge only intended for printers which use 5 ink cartridges:
    ONLY for 5-cartridge printers which use Black, Photo, Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow inks
    Does NOT replace Black ink cartridge

  • Why cant i get my songs back in my iphone

    ok so i recently got a new phone and tried to restore a back up from my old phone. everything was fine but i noticed for some reason some of the songs in one of the albums wouldnt copy. after seeing it was due to the files being moved i recopied them again into my playlist and phone and deleted the missing unplayable files. despite this only one song went missing and i was like no big deal it's just one song. so i kept getting new music and then after a synch, the song was back in the phone, however, half of the other songs from the album went missing. and i tried to put them back in my phone and it wont let me, like it doesnt even show to be synching or any signs of it doing anything. i made over 5 playlists to copy in the phone because this is how i resolved my issue last time. however it still showed that only one song. so i thought maybe if i delete the album off my phone maybe i can get the whole album back no problem. so i did but now i can't even get that one song back literally my iphone won't do anything after i try to drag the music to it and i made playlist after playlist and nothing and i just want to know why cause it is not the first time this has happened where i synch and songs go missing or the artwork is missing in my phone but not on the computer and i really dont know what i'm supposed to do like this update made so much stuff unecessarily complicated and i dont know how to use it or what i can do to get that album back because everytime i synch it songs go missing or songs i deleted three months ago come back instead of the ones i want to actually be back on my phone or it deletes artwork for the albums please help i'm very frustrated every move i make is a mistake

    In general when syncing the device won't give the desired results the following steps should work.
    Backup the device.
    Restore as a new device.
    Restore the backup made earlier.

  • I am recently switched from a pc to laptop and in the move I can't find my "purchased" songs in my library any more.How do I get my purchased songs back into my lnew laptop Itunes library?

    I recently switched from a pc to a laptop and am in process of moving my Itunes library to my laptop.I cant find my "purchased"songs .How do I recover my purchased songs and get them into my new laptop library? There is a record of my purchase in the Itunes store.

    "Where do I find my hundreds of dollars of downloads I have done since 2005?"
    They will only be where you put them  If you are doing the very basics, then they will be on your computer and they will be in your backup copy of your computer.
    The itunes store is not global at all, never has been. You cannot redownload your content from another country.  You can only use the countrys itunes store for the country that you are physically located.

  • Putting current Nano songs on New computer Library

    I recently received a new laptop via work, not the one I started my itunes and my library on and I want to transfer my itunes folders over to my new computer. I have about 350 songs on my Nano (pretty new to this) and want to download those into my library in on my new computer, but am afraid since there is nothing in the new library that instead I will wipe out all my songs on my Nano since the download goes only one way. How can I put the songs from my Nano onto my new computer?

  • Loading Previously Purchased Songs on New Computer

    I'm looking to load previously purchased songs onto a new computer. My old computer received a virus (those people are going to ****) and I want to recapture all the music I previously purchased. Is that possible?
    I tried the "check for purchases" under the tools button but only two songs came through.

    Assuming you have an iPod - hook it up to your "puter & you should receive a dialogue box which states that there are songs on your iPod that are not on your "puter "do you wish to transfer them?
    Press Ok & sit back & relax. If not call apple & explain your plight to them, they can do this as I found out ( before I sussed connecting my iPod up though!). However they will ask you to detail all your purchase dates & order No.s etc. but you will be able to get this info by logging on to your iTunes account. Tiresome but it worked for me!.
    Hope this helps

  • I cant load any more songs

    i have only downloaded 17 songs and, i cant add any more songs?????.......

    Alyssa, let me make a suggestion for posting, then we will tackle your problem. If you forget somethig when you post, you may go back & edit the post withing 30 minutes after posting by clicking on the "edit" icon. That way, you don't have to do a huge number of separate post like you have done & the person who is helping you doesn't get hammered with a separate e-mail each time you re-post.
    Your import settings are fine, they are the settings that Apple suggests. From your posts, it sounds like you may have already restored your Nano trying to fix this problem I would like for you to restore your Nano one more time, but follow the instructions on the link below when you do your restore. Once the Nano has been restored back to factory settings, let's see if you can get some more music on to it.

  • Loading a .band file back into Garageband (iPad 2)

    Hi all. I am a newbie. Forgive me if this question is ridiculous, and forgive me if it's been asked 1000 times. Basically, I'm trying to collaborate with some old school buddies through Garageband. I only have it on Ipad 2, they have it on their macs. I do not have a mac (terrible, I know). We're all working from a Dropbox account. I put a file of a guitar track into said Dropbox. They've already done work on the file and dropped it back into the box. Now, I'm able to get the new .band folder back into itunes through my pac, via ifunbox. However, when I pull up Garageband on the Ipad 2 and click the + sign and select itunes, it doesn't show up. If I select a song I have on my Garageband, I can see the folder through Apple Loops, but it isn't accessible. I can just see the title, and it's in grey, not in bold black. So, is it not possible to get this back onto the iPad 2 by pc through iTunes? Will it ever be? Better yet, if I had a mac, would this be doable? I realize this is worded terribly, but any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    I've just tested this workaround again. It should work like this:
    Export
    Create a song in GarageBand on an iOS device.
    From the My Songs screen tap Edit, select the song to export, tap the sharing icon, Share Song Via iTunes as GarageBand format.
    Connect the device to iTunes, go to the Apps tab, File Sharing area, highlight the song folder and click Save As..., then chose a folder to save it in.
    This folder can then be shared for others to work on.
    Import
    Connect device to iFunBox.
    Drag project folder into <Device>\App File Sharing\GarageBand.
    On the device go to the GarageBand > My Songs view, tap the + icon, then Copy From iTunes. The imported project should be there.
    If GarageBand for iOS doesn't see or want to import the edited project then my guess is that something about the external editing process has flagged it as being incompatible. There are workarounds for converting GarageBand for OSX files into an iOS compatible form, but not having a Mac I haven't tested any of them.

  • My computer crashed and I saved my songs to a folder. now that I have new comp with itunes how do I transfer the songs back into itunes while keeping the titles in tact?  When they transferred back in only about half of them had the titles listed.

    I want to transfer my songs from the old iTunes that I saved toi the new iTunes on my computer from a file I saved and keep the song titles in tact. how do I do this.?

    It is probably not wise to leave your e-mail and phone number on a public forum.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    You purchase one download only.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
