Help with ipod songs in itunes

i wan to know hoy can i tranfer some songs from my ipod to my library in itunes because those songs are only in my ipod, i heard that you need another program to do that i wonder if it is true

You can't sync or drag your music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs but not playlists 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.

Problems with some songs in iTunes (and my iPod)

Hi,
I do not know whether this is the right category for my problem, but I did not find a suitable one.
I have problems with some songs in iTunes. They do not sound right. It is hard to me to describe my problem in English (thanks to apple's "great" support...I was not able to contact them personally except by phone). The songs "hang", they sound like someone reels (?) it. The problem does not only appear with iTunes but also with my iPod nano first generation.
My godmother brang me CDs where that problems appear (but not the whole CDs have that problem, only a few songs) from the USA - I live in Germany. Maybe that is cause of the error. But I cannot imagine that, because CDs there and here have the same format and I have several CDs from the US where is no problem at all. I am absolutely sure that the CDs are originals and not a copy, by the way.
Maybe you can help me, it would be great!
Thanks,
Jule

Yes, I thought that's what Restore should do, but the problems remain. Hmmm, the out of order 'album's' songlist is notated 1 of 8, 2 of 8, 3 of 8... I'll try 01, 02...
Probably a good idea.
The other album is running through the list of songs like fast-forward, but not playing the songs. Then, iPod locks up.
Do these same tracks play okay in iTunes? What is the original source for these tracks? Were they downloads from the iTunes Store or imported from outside of iTunes? What format are they encoded in and at what bitrate?

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not downloading properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

You can only suspend service for 3 months at a time (with or without payment) and only twice a year.

Looking for information and help on syncing songs from itunes to ipod

I just bought my first ipod -the 60gb video ipod. I'm in the process of ripping songs into itunes from about 2,000 CDs and there are some songs I don't want to load onto my ipod. I have 3 questions:
1. When I sync my ipod with itunes the first time will it load all the songs in itunes or only the ones with check marks?
2. When I sync it later to load new songs will it just add the checked songs?
3. If I create new playlists and make changes to old playlists do they automatically update when I sync my ipod to itunes?
Thanks to anyone who has information to help!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
The following answers are based on the assumption that you automatically update. This means you will leave the iPod set to automatically have iTunes add songs (and you don't have to manually drag songs). This should be the default setting. To check, go to edit-->preferences with the iPod connected and hit the iPod tab.
1) It will add all songs. You can change this though. Connect the iPod (perhaps the first time you are syncing). Go to edit-->preferences. Hit the iPod tab. Select only update checked songs. Now any songs you uncheck are removed from the iPod or not synced at all.
2) If you have the option I talked about above checked, it will add all new songs that are checked automatically. By default, iTunes will want to have all new content added. But, if you have the only update checked songs option enabled, then only new songs that are checked will be updated.
3) New playlists automatically sync to the iPod. If you change older playists, these changes will be reflected on your iPod the next time you sync.

Need help with ipod & itunes

Hey everyone.
I just got a ipod video and i went to my friends house and put a whole bunch of songs on it. Well i want those songs on my ipod video onto my itunes on my home computer but i cant seem to get them on without over writting the songs on my ipod video with the songs on my itunes already, which i dont want to happen because i dont want to loose any of the songs on my ipod video. Someone please help me.

1) go back to your friends house and put all the song files you want into a folder on his computer.
2) plug in your ipod to his computer and enable disk use.
3) then open it up from "my computer", you'll see a few folders like "notes", "contacts" etc.
4) drag and drop the folder you created with all the song files. Don't put this in one of the ipod's pre-made folders.
5) go home, open your ipod again from disk use and select the folder you made with all the song files. drag and drop this anywhere you want in your computer (I suggest putting it with where you store more music)
Lastly you need to import these songs, open itunes and select File>Add Folder to Library. you will then select the folder of music from your friends house, wherever you dropped it.
After you have added the songs to your library you are free to delete ONLY the folder you created in your iPod (with the music files from your friend).
Hope this helps

Need help with ipod itunes syncing problem just occured

i restored my computer to factory settings and when i did that i lost my itunes and when i reinstalled it and tried to sync my ipod to the new installation of itunes it said that my ipod is synced with another itunes and that to sync it wiht this itunes it would delete and replace all data on my ipod with data from my itunes which is nuthing please help i dont wanna lose all my songs and apps an all that

You should have created a backup of your Itunes library before your computer restore to factory setting so that you can copy them to your new iTunes.
Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software to copy over. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

Please help! Deleting songs from itunes library & updating ipod

Must I keep all albums I wish to upload into my ipod on my computer? I have the ipod settings set to automatic and if I delete the album from the library (completely from my pc) the next time I connect my ipod the album gets deleted from the ipod.
I tried setting the ipod to manual but then I can't figure out how to update my ipod with the songs I want to add. It really doesn't make sense for me to have to fill up my hard drive with all of this music just to keep the songs on my ipod. I really hope someone can please tell me otherwise.

If it's on Manual update, you simply drag the songs from the library to the iPod in iTunes.
If you wan tot remove music, right click on it and select Clear. Do this with the iPod selected not a playlist on the iPod.

Help with Ipod and itunes syncing

Im having trouble syncing my ipod to my itunes library. I restored the Ipod back to factory specs and now when I try to sync my library back on it stops and disconnects in the middle. I have tried this with the same results about 5 times.
Any ideas?

I "recreated my iTunes Library" and it worked.

TS1425 itunes said it needed to fix something and it eraced my songs and would not put them back now my ipod acts like new with no songs and itunes locks up when connected

I have around 4500 songs on itunes and none on my ipod
when I connect my Ipod itunes said it needs to scan something recomended so I tell it to fix and then itunes stops responding even the task manager will not turn it off just locks up my computer untill i have to pull the plug

Try restoring your iPod to factory settings in iTunes first. This procedure wipes all data from the iPod and sets it back to its original default settings by reloading a fresh copy of the iPod's firmware.

for a reason unknown my music in itunes has been wiped! just dissapeared. the music is still on my ipod, the only music i get from my ipod back onto itunes are recent purchases. does anyone know how i can get music from my ipod back onto my itunes?? thank you.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintaina abckup, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases or you can redownload some itunes purchases in som countries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Help with transferring music from itunes to itunes

I just got my iPod for Christmas (yay!) and I'm in a dilemma with downloading songs to it from iTunes. Our home computer is being worked on and is basically useless right now. However, my dad has his laptop that already has iTunes on it. My question is, if I would download songs on his computer to put on my iPod, could I later take them off his iTunes (or my iPod) and put it on my iTunes on the home computer? I dont want to lose any of them, but would like to be able to take them off his iTunes and put them on mine to manage in the future.
Thanks for any help!!

You have two options:
Copy the songs from Dad's laptop to the home PC when ready (preferred): http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=1366018
Recover the songs from the iPod to the Home PC: http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=1365113

See "iPod" Songs in iTunes but can't save them in Library or Music Folder!

My apologies in advance, folks, I'm a newbie to the Discussions.
Initially had loaded my iTunes onto a PC and "homeshared" to my Mac. PC died and could not disable homesharing on THAT end. But did disable homesharing on my Mac. Synced by iPod (appears to be a PC model) and all songs showed up under device in iTunes. But, all songs were downloaded from CDs (not iTunes store). So: tried to select all and save to a new folder under music. No dice. Tried "Add to Library" from iTunes File Menu...nada. Since the songs were originally loaded to the iPod from a Windows PC, do I need a utility in order to get them uploaded to my Mac? Really don't want to have to re-record them all (>1000 songs) and know I must be missing something obvious here.
Please tell me I'm just overlooking a VERY easy step!! I now have 1 (yes, one) song in my Library.
Your help is really greatly appreciated!

Hi folks:
Just in case anyone else experieces this problem (uploading iPod Windows to iTunes Mac, I used iPodDisk freeware (with MacFuse)...loads songs to Finder as organized in iPod and you can drag and drop into iTunes!! Easiest way to get the job done...

Need help with Ipod please. (Won't Sync)

Hello,
I have had my Ipod Nano (3rd generation) for a year now, and I have just come across a problem. When I try to sync particular songs bought from itunes, an error sign comes up saying "Attempted sync to disc 'IPOD' has failed. The Device can not be read from or writtian to." This only happens with certain songs and videos bough from the itunes store. I feel like if is a waste of money, so if anyone knows what the problem is or how to fix it, that would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
