Hi jagsgurl15,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Copying songs from your iPod to your computer
"The iTunes library on your computer holds all the songs you've encoded from your CD collection or purchased from the iTunes Music Store. With default settings, iTunes automatically copies the songs in your library to your iPod. When you use your iPod as a hard disk, you can't see the songs iTunes copies to your iPod in the Finder or My Computer. This is normal. Using the Finder or My Computer, you can't copy these song files from your iPod back to iTunes or to any other computer. The synchronization between your iPod and your computer is always one way: from iTunes to iPod.
If you've erased the music library on your computer, there's no way to use the Finder or My Computer to copy the songs from your iPod to reconstitute the library on your computer. One solution is to encode the songs from your CD collection again, then sync your new library with iPod. If you purchased songs from the iTunes Music Store and didn't back them up, there's no way to download them again. You'll have to buy new copies of the songs."
Taken from Using your iPod as a hard disk
Can you get them from a backup off your old computer? Or didn't you do a backup?
Regards
Colin R.

everytime i plug it in to update it, my computer recognises my ipod, and my nano does the usual do not disconnect thing, the songs are succsessfuly put onto itunes, they just cant seem to get in the actual ipod!
please help me!!!
Dell dimension 5150 (i have no idea) Windows XP well, its new and its from dell, as you can see i haf no idea wot im talking about here!How is your iPod configured to obtain music from your iTunes library? Automatically or manually? If it's set to automatically, what additional configurations do you have set up from under the iPod's Summary and Music tabs?
If your iPod is set up for manual management, you just simply drag new tracks over to your iPod.
Perhaps this article can be of assistance to you.

my computer deleted all of my songs off my ipod one time with i unplugged it, i think i unplugged it too soon and it wasn't finished ejecting. now every time i plug it in it gives me an error saying "the ipod 'Skye' cannot be synced, a duplicate file name was specified." It wont let me put any songs on my ipod now.
Never mind. I found out how to fix the problem
- Go to "Computer"
- Right click on your IPod icon
- Click "Properties"
- Go to the "Tools" tab
- Under "Error -checking" cilck the "Check now..." button
After doing all of that, ITunes now works like normal for me. -
I have an ipad and just bought a second one for my daughter and she wants all my music on her ipad. All the music is under my itunes account yet she has her own itunes account so she can have her own apps and purchase apps with gift cards (She's only 9)
I subscibe to music match under my account but it wont let me put my music on her ipad under hers or even my itunes account. I get some sort of 90 day error message. How do i get around this so I can let her have my music on her ipad?iTunes Match is not sharable across Apple IDs. The best way to get the music on her iPad is to leave hers signed into her Apple ID on the iTunes Store and sync via USB.

My ipod wont let me put more then around 300 songs on it.
I had dropped my iPod with a case on, and picked it up and it was fine. It still runs fine and all, but when I try to put songs on it from my iTunes, it only puts on around 300 and then iTunes freezes and wont let me put anymore on. I have tried with a couple computers, so its not iTunes thats the problem. Anyone know how to fix this?
It could be an indication that the hard drive was damaged during the fall. I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread. He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate. From there we can try to determine if the iPod has any life left or if it's time to bite the bullet.

My brand new ipod touch 4th gen wont let me sync new songs to it
I just got my new ipod touch 4th gen 2 days ago and it wont let me sync any new songs to it and it wont let me take any songs off it either. Ive tried rebooting it and restoring it serveral times and nothing seems to work. Also I updates my itunes and still nothing. HELP
What specific attributes (resolution, frame rate, bit-rate, audio forma etc.),do the mp4 videos have? There are many variations in the mp4 format. Have you tried using the Create iPod and iPhone version in the Advanced tab of iTunes?

I own one of the old iPod gumstick shuffles, and well recently my computer crashed. I replaced said computer and now when I try to connect my shuffle, it asks me if I want to erase and sync with the new iTunes library... but I want all my music off of my shuffle! Is there a way for me to get that music off of it?
It's not very clear, but are you saying that you want to move all of your current iPod contents into iTunes? If so, then you'll have to use any of a variety of 3P utilities to do that. Look into iPodRip and Senuti, two that I can think of off the top of my head.

HELP!!! my ipod wont let me see the screen
My iPod(5) .... Wont let me unlock, the "triple home click" doesn work and i cant see the screen because i turned on voice over and it froze turned off then turned on but the screen is still black. it also wont let me turn off voiceover.
Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:
iPhone: Configuring accessibility features (including VoiceOver and Zoom)
Next would be to restore from backup via iTunes -

I am unable to put new songs on my ipod
I am unable to put new songs on my ipod. When I put new songs into my itunes, i see them just fine. I go to sync my ipod and it says "sync is complete" within seconds, so I know nothing has been synced. New playlists are also not showing up. Many of my default playlists show up multiple times(90s music, recently played, etc). I have the 30 gig ipod with video. There are about 20 gigs on it. Thanks.
ok the manually manage music box was checked, I don't know how. That seemed to help. As long as I have you here perhaps you can help me with another problem that happens from time to time. My ipod likes to fall asleep when I'm syncing it. It goes to the apple icon on the ipod, stops syncing, and then starts back up again. The problem seems to go away when I restart the computer and/or itunes. I'll occassionally get an error message that says "the ipod "mullen's ipod can be synced. The required file cannot be found." Then I get the message at the top of the screen that says sync complete. In some cases it actually is synced! Any thoughts?
