Help me get my music back to itunes from my Ipod!!

I recently experienced the pleasure of my hard drive crashing, which made me lose everything, including my music. I still have all of my music on my ipod and I just reinstalled itunes. Now, I know that if I try to sync, it will probably erase all of my songs on my ipod as well. Is there a way to sync my songs from ipod to itunes so I don't lose it all? I am aware that you can't change syncing preferences without your ipod connected. thanks for the help.

I use iPod agent, but if you do a google search, there are literally hundreds available, most are free, some are not

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

    I got a virus on my computer and it deleted all of my personal files is there a way to push my music back to itunes? i tried to sync but it only moved a small amount of my music.

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases.

    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • Getting my music back onto itunes

God Bless you for being out there to answer!!!:D

    You will need third-party software to transfer your content from your iPod back into iTunes. There are many such utilities, so if the one you tried didn't work, try something else. Check out this post from Zevoneer for some media recovery options:

  • How can I get my music back into iTunes after erasing my disk?

    I had to reinstall Windows XP, erasing everything on the hard disk. I had saved the music files with backup software, so I now have them back. But iTunes won't add them to my library. I tried importing songs from a new CD to see where iTunes put those files, and then copying an album folder into the same location. But Windows wouldn't copy the files inside the foder. Nearly all the songs were originally taken from CDs in my collection, and the songs are still on my iPod Nano.

    Wow,
    Wonder why XP won't let you copy files?, perhaps you used a different user name?
    Or these are the old DRM versions of the songs? You should be able to log into your iTunes account and authorize the computer and iTunes should recognize the songs.
    Well since you have the iPod Nano, you can head over to iLounge and ask them what current third party software works to move your iPod Nano music back to iTunes.
    Hope that works out for you

  • HOW DO I GET MY SONGS BACK TO ITUNES FROM IPOD?

    I recently had an incident with my Macbook which lead me to erase and reinstall Leopard. Obviously everything whats erased including my itunes songs. All of those songs are still on my iPod, so how do i transfer them back into my iTunes? I have the same login info and account. Shouldnt it recognize my iPod and allow me to just drag the songs back in? Help is much needed... thank you to all!

    1). Connect your iPod to your new computer. If it is set to sync automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
    Alternatively open iTunes first and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box "Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods" and choose Ok. Then connect your iPod.
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. iTunes will only give you the option to copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads etc) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here (you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well):
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    4). 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.
    5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • 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.

  • Restoring music to my iTunes from my iPod?

    I accidentally deleted my saved music file on my computer. However, I still have all of the songs in my iPod. Is it possible to transfer them back into my iTunes from my iPod?
    I hope so!

    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    There is also CopyPod. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

  • Can't Get External music back into itunes with song rankings

    For various reasons my wondows PC crashed and I've had to clear out various drives.
    No problem I thought, because I regularly back-up my 10,000 plus songs on an external hard drive.
    Problem is that when I connect it to the PC and try to copy the songs into itunes I do not get my song rankings appearing any more, I just get the other ID3 tags details. Where are they stored and can I find them again ?
    Also,
    all the while the external HD is attached and I've copied some folders into itunes, all appears fine with the songs showing and playing, but when I disconnect the song still appears in my open version of itunes but then no longer plays and says it can't find the song ?
    Help ! I don't want to rank all 10,000 songs again and I want the songs all back on my PC.
    I could use my 60 Gig ipod to reload the PC but I only have about 80% of all the music files I own, so the obvious choice is the other external drive with everything from my PC on it. Can you help me please ?

    luckily that is also backed up on the external drive too so I'll try looking there, but do you have any thoughts on why I can't get the backed up files to stay on the PC correctly ? because until they are back on my PC I can't use it or get the rankings back right?

  • Help importing music back to Itunes from Ipod

    My Windows 7 computer crashed and needed to re-install windows.  As a result lost all music loading into Itunes (most of it not purchased through Itunes).  I need to know how I can transfer the music from my Ipod back to Itunes.  In the past when connecting the Ipod it automatically starts syncing with Itunes so if I connect it now I assume all the files on the Ipod will be deleted since they are not on Itunes now.  Please help me retrieve all my content and import it back to Itunes.

  • Please help me get my music back!!

    Our Windows Vista computer crashed (blue screen of death) but we were able to copy everything from to an external hard drive including my itunes folder.  On our new computer (Windows 7) I downloaded itunes.  Imported the music library into iTunes and now I can't play any of the music that I previously purchased from the itunes store.  No music, movies, videos, anything I previously purchased.  I have authorized the computer with my apple-id and still I can't play anything.  I don't want to re-purchase 1,000+ songs.  Please help me solve this issue!  My iPod was fried by my son when he connected it to my wife's car so I don't have any backups except for the files on the external hard drive.  Help!!

  • Help me get my music back!!! Please:(

    I recently found my old iPod (YAY). So I hooked it up to my new laptop to transfer my songs into my new iTunes library, but none of my songs were showing up on my computer. I hit the eject button and unplugged it and the songs were showing up on the iPod. I hooked it back up to the computer but they still weren't showing up. So I once again hit the eject button and unplugged it again but this time my music was gone from my iPod too!!! I'm so upset because I had over 500+ songs on this iPod!!!! I no longer have my old laptop because my little sister dropped it and shattered the screen so I can't hook it back up and put the songs back on it. Please tell me there's a way to fix this:(

    iTunes has an option to copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPhone or iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    Purchased applications can be downloaded over again, see this article for details: How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store
    One last thing, if your wife'd phone is set to sync automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. Open iTunes first and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box "Prevent iPods and iPhones from syncing automatically" and choose Ok before connecting your device.
