If it's a purchased song from the iTunes Store, you can re-download it at no cost. iTunes Store has a screen called Purchased, where you can find and download previous purchases. The link to Purchased is on the iTunes Store Home screen, under QUICK LINKS. You need to be signed in with the Apple ID used to make the purchase.
Alternately, for a purchased song, you should be able to transfer it from iPod to the iTunes library. Select the iPod in iTunes (so that you see its Summary screen). From the menu bar, select
File -> Devices -> Transfer Purchases from "<name of iPod>"
If it's just one song, I would try using the Purchased screen in the iTunes Store.

When you connect ipod nano to itunes is there a way to stop it deleteing the albums on it if they are not on my laptop anymore

Yes, do not set it to automatic sync, and if these albums are purchases in iTunes, then you need to transfer them to your iTunes library. If you attempt to sync the device the music sync is one way, only from the library to the device. If this is music you did not purchase, but is on the iPod, you will need to get some 3rd party software to extract it from the iPod to put in the library. Touchcopy from Wide Angle Software is one choice. I have used it before and it does a lot more than music, and it works on both the Windows and Mac platforms.

How do you sync ipod shuffle to two computers?

Hi, i recently got a 1gb iPod shuffle (green) for Christmas and i started loading songs on it. Everything seems well when i synced the iPod to my desktop but when i went to my laptop to try and add songs it says some thing like " ( THE NAME OF MY IPOD ) has already been synced to a computer and you can only sync an ipod to one computer at a time. You can erase your the contents of your ipod and sync your ipod to this computer" Then i either press cancel or Yes/Erase.
I really need help as i will need to go back and forth between computers. I have itunes version 8.
please help me!

Oh ok i just found out an alternative but it ***** that apple made it like that.
I read this somewhere: Enable disk use on for my shuffle, set a reasonable amount and then go to the other computer i want to get songs from then drag them to the ipod shuffle. Then go back to the computer where i would sync my ipod and transfer the files into itunes. Then sync to my ipod.
Thanks for you help though .

When connect my ipod shuffle on itune see error 1418......why help me plz???????

help me plz

I too am having the same issue/problem. Unfortunately, my Shuffle 1gb was a christmas present last year, and no longer under warranty. Everything was fine until I upgraded to iTunes 7, then all **** broke lose. I use my iPod Shuffle every day, I've dedicated a substantial portion of my available storage to a seperate iTunes Library ( I have close to 50Gb of music, so maintaining a seperate iTunes Library costs me almost 100G of space). I just updated to 7.1 hoping that the problem may have been fixed,but I am still having the same problem. Replacing this iPod with another is not an option, but replacing it with another competing manufacture's unit that is compatible with my advanced Sound Card (yes, that manufacturer makes both) is a viable option, although not an affordable one. I asked for an Apple Product on reputation and recommendations of other people and online reviews. These problems I am experiencing and from this topic, others are experiencing, seem to me that APPLE IS PROGRAMMING THEIR UPDATES TO FORCE OUR OLDER UNITS INTO BEING OBSOLETE AND JUST WANT US TO BUY NEW ONES.
If these forums are moderated and/or monitored by Apple personnel, someone needs to respond OFFICIALLY to this thread to address these issues, and reassure us that a fix is in the works either to this software, or a firmware update for our iPods.

I seem to recall that this may be cause by overloading the USB bus (lack of power to go around). Shut down your computer. Reset the iPod shuffle using this procedure.

Disconnect ALL peripheral USB devices, including keyboard and mouse. Power up the computer. If you need your mouse, connect it and launch iTunes. Connect the iPod shuffle to a direct USB port and try the sync again. See if there is any difference.

When you sync your Ipod using Itunes does it back up your photos?

Title says it all,
when you sync your ipod does it back up your photos automatically.. Preferrably the photos that are in the camera roll?
My ipod won't turn on at all, I have tried everything and I am thinking it might be a battery issue at this point but anyways.. I might buy the Ipod Touch 5th Generation and I REALLY need the photos that I last had on the ipod. The day before the ipod decided to die on me, I synced it to my computer to put music on it and stuff so I am wondering if it backed up the photos as well?

Yes iTunes backs up your iPod automatically every time you sync unless you have the Summary pane in iTunes for the iPod chacked to backup to iCloud. In that case yo have to manually backup to iTunes.

Yes, the iPod backup that iTunes makes (and iCloud makes) includes photos in the iPod's Camera Roll album.

What is the green next to apps composed of when you sync your phone?

Hi steven1098,
If you are referring to the green portion of the status bar at the bottom of iTunes that indicates current usage and available capacity, that portion (the green section) represents the spaced used by your apps themselves. You may find the following article useful:

Hello Rod2174,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPod shuffle. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing.

When you sync your phone does data go from phone to pc or pc to phone

Good morning, when you sync your iphone4, is the phone uploading to the pc or is the pc downloading to the phone? What is the overriding situation? Also, can you delete unwanted phot folders from the phone or do you have to try to "restore" phone to factory settings and start again or will this even work? I am always guessing when I sync because I am never sure which way it is going. Thanks for any help.

I thought I tried the uncheck/check but maybe I didn't so I will give that a try. It is actually my friends phone (I try stuff on mine but I was hesitant on someone else's phone) so I will try that when I visit them again next week. Thank you, I will let you know if I am successful.

HT4236 where are the photos saved when you sync it on iTunes

Please help me I am not sure if my photos are saved and I want to make sure before I update my Iphone so I want to know where they are saved when you sync your phone

Syncing does not save your photos, photos are imported to the pc/mac.
Follow this article it shows how to import photos for a pc & mac depending on your operating system:

Plug your iPhone into your Mac and open iPhoto. Transfer the photos from the phone to your Mac.

DONT WORRY EVERYONE, FOUND THE ANSWER I NEEDED FROM ANOTHER POSTING - THANK YOU

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You don't need to do anything, you have chosen to back up to iCloud instead of iTunes.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.
