Getting music onto my Ipod..

Thanx.

You must use iTunes to "rip" your Audio CD and store the resulting files on your computer. Once you see the music in the iTunes Music Library, you use iTunes to transfer the music to your iPod.
The process and information is contained in the iTunes Help files.

How do I get music onto my ipod with the new itunes?

I have a new ipod, and the new itunes. I cant find any itunes version information, but it downloaded on the 27/9/13
The old itunes showed your library and ipod icons on the left, and I could simply drag music onto the ipod icon.
With the new itunes, there is no ipod icon to drag music too. I certainly dont want to put all my music onto ipod, or have it pick songs randomly. I have way too much music for itunes, I basically drag some albums to itunes, copy them to the ipod, then delete them from itunes. I have to do this for 2 reasons, one is that my music is spread over various places, and usually when you plug in an external drive it gives it a different letter, so you "lose" music, and secondly because much of my music doesnt have correct tags because I ripped it from my CDs before there was internet databases (yes I’m old).
Any ideas how I get an album from a HD onto my ipod?
Does anyone else find itunes inexplicably unintuitive?

Hi hobbss,
It sounds like you may want to show the sidebar in iTunes. You can access it again by following this:
iTunes 11: Frequently used features
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
Show Sidebar - Choose View > Show Sidebar (this feature will display iTunes features on the left side of the application including Library, Store, Shared, Genius, and Playlists).
Also, here is an article with information on how to sync media to your iPod:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iPod

Any way to get music onto a iPod Touch without using iTunes?

I don't want iTunes on my computer. Is there any other way to get music on to my iPod Touch without it?
iTunes makes to many changes to my computer that I have no control over, sorry but it's just crappy software. I had to remove it from another computer as it disabled Outlook and kept giving errors at boot up. I also don't see why it has to copy my music to another folder and have it on my HD twice. I could go on and on and don't get me started on the iCloud bugs.

Other than iCloud or synching from iTunes, the only other option is to purchase music directly from the iTunes Store.
iTunes works just fine with Outlook on my computer and the many others I support, FWIW. And you don't have to have your music on your drive twice. You can have it anywhere on your computer and just have iTunes recognize it where it is.
Regards.

Is there a way to get music onto my ipod from a CD that I lost after I put the songs onto iTunes, but then had to completely erase everyting on my computer?

Yeah, so this is what happened. I had an old iPod nano, and then my computer crashed and deleted eveything. Then, I got a new iPod, and I want to put songs that I had on a CD that I already had on iTunes before my computer crashed onto my new iPod, but I lost the CD. Is there a way for me to find those songs??? Kinda impossible, but is there genius out there that can help me out? Thanks.

The songs will only be where you put them.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Your music should be there.

How do I get music onto my iPod touch from my iTunes

I recently got a Mac book air and when I plug in my iPod touch, it syncs into iTunes and everything but I can't put songs on it. I tried restoring it but it did nothing.

When you plug your iPod in, click the iPod and then the "Music" tab. Make sure you have it set to sync all songs or if you only want selected/checked sonds, make sure you have the correct songs checked.

How can I get music onto my 2nd gen iPod Touch?

My mum recently gave me her old iPod, a 2nd gen. My sister tried to upgrade it up to iOS 5 but couldn't.
Every time I plug my iPod into charge it pops up in iTunes saying, "This iPod cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.1 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest vesion of iTunes."
Alls well saying that, but my problem is I'm running on version 10.4.11 Snow Tiger on a MacBook Pro.
When I go to download the iTunes it states that I need version 10.6.11 Snow Leopard.
My mother and sister both have Snow Leopard and Snow Lion but they will not let me use their iTunes.
What I need to know if there is anyway that I can get music onto my iPod without purchseing songs from the iTunes store.
Can anyone help?
Regards,
inezkazan.

I realized that.
This has been an outstanding problem for many months.
All I would like to know is if I can put music onto it atall..
Thanks.

How do i get it back! i bought most of my music on itunes but i just dont have any idea where to go and whjat to do can any help me??
Respond please!

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then see if you can redownload your past music purchases (those that are still in the store) via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you are not in a country where music can currently be re-downloaded, then have you not got it on your computer and/or on a backup ? If not then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

You can only sync with one computer/iTunes library. If you sync with another iTunes library/computer the media from the iPod will be deleted and replaced with the media on the second computer.
If you want to change syncing computers then:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

How do i get music from my ipod nano onto my iphone 3g

How do i get music from my ipod nano onto my iphone 3g????

You don't.
You sync music from itunes on your computer to iphone.
Everything that is on your Nano should be in itunes on your computer, as that is where it came from in the first place.
Just sync whatever you like to your iphone.

Computer died. Now have new one. Need to get music off of ipods onto new compouter. How?

Old computer died. New computer, Installed iTunes on Windows 7. Have iPods in family. Want to get music back from iPods onto computer. Can't figure it ouit. Should not be this hard. Did manage to get purchased downloaded apps. Just can't get music. Any way to do this?
So far, apple help *****. They want money. Docs don't seem to say how to do it. iTunes just wants to wipe out iPod and replace current contents with nothing.

Launch iTunes on the new computer.
From the menu bar at the top of your screen click Store / Authorize This Computer
Connect the iPod to the computer.
From the iTunes menu bar click File / Transfer Purchases From....

If you forgot your AppleID, you will not be able to get that music into iTunes or onto another iPod.

Getting music from your iPod onto your hard drive?

Hey,
I am trying to transfer some music files from my iPod on to my hard drive. I have tried dragging them on to the hard drive and I went through all the options and configurations and yet I can't seem to figure it out.
Can someone please help me out and tell me how to get music from my iPod on to my computer hard drive?
Thanks,
CP

You cant drag your music from your ipod to your computer, you have to use a third-party program to do it. There are many you can use, so try searching it on google. Some i can rememeber are yamipod, and copyipod.

Cannot get music onto Ipod(1.2)

well i got a new ipod on warranty and updated it to version 1.2 and Itunes to version 7... anyway... it wont let me manually put music onto the ipod! i drag the music and it says updating while the songs go though.. and i can see the memory used going down... once its finished the used goes back to what it was before!! what the ****! its doing the same on my bro's ipod as well.. he jsut installed to version 2 as well!! can anybody help?

and i can see the memory used going down... once its finished the used goes back to what it was before!!
if that's happening to both ipods on the same computer, we'd better check on the possibility from this document:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear
