How can I copy music from my ipod to my itunes library?

I have an ipod nano with all my itunes purchases plus a bunch of music I put on from my old cds.  When I synced my ipod to my new computer it only synced my purchases, not my other downloads.  How can I get all my music onto my itunes library?  I'd even be happy to just add new songs and playlists to my ipod but not fully update the itunes library.  Can anyone help?
The pod to pc programs online don't seem to work on my computer...
Thanks!

  • How can I transfer music from my iPod to my iTunes library?

    Recently my previous notebook broke so that my whole iTunes library was deleted. Lucky me I have all my songs on my iPod and I didnt have any problems trasferring the songs I bought at iTunes to my iTunes library, but I don't know how to transfer the other songs.
    Is there anybody who can help me?

    iTunes will only let you copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer,
    For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchased songs and in some cases, videos and games) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only

    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
    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

  • How can i put songs from my ipod into my itunes library?

    I want to sort out all mu music on my ipod and start fresh, but i want to keep all my music. Is there a way of putting music from my ipod into my iTunes library? I understand that if there is music on my ipod then i mustve put it on there from the library but i dont think i did! It's just not there! all i need to do is transfer it from my ipod to my itunes library Pls help. Ta.

    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    With your iPod connected, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPod.
    If you had Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPod sync preferences with iTunes, after downloading a song from the iTunes store direct with your iPod, the song would be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPod with iTunes after doing so.
    Manually managing music and videos is manual all the way.

  • How do i copy music from my ipod classic to itunes on my macbook pro?

    I have a lot of music on my ipod classic from an old computer I no longer have.  How do I copy this to my itunes library on my macbook pro so that when i synch my ipod and my computer, the music already on the computer won't be wiped out and replaced with what's in my itunes library on my macbook?  I was thinking of burning a cd from my ipod classic, then copying the cd to my computer itunes, then synching.  Is there an easier way?

  • How can i transfer music from my ipod to my itunes without deleting music

    I DONT WANT TO DELETE MY MUSIC FROM IPOD BUT I NO LONGER HAVE THE ORIGINAL COMPUTER THAT MY IPOD WAS SYNC'D TO AND NOW IT WANT TO DELETE MY MUSIC??? HOW CAN I AVOID THIS?

    iTunes will let you transfer your purchased songs from your iPod to your new iTunes as detailed here
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    For the rest of your iPod music, you will need to use a third party program like TouchCopy to copy your iPod content onto your computer or straight to your new iTunes. There are free TouchCopy PC and Mac downloads available from here

    Also, see this YouTube video on how to use the program..

  • How do I copy music from my iPod mini to iTunes?

    I accidentally deleted music from iTunes and can't find the original CD. The music is on my iPod mini, but I can't copy the music from the mini to iTunes. Help, please. Thanks!
    PC   Windows XP  

    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.

  • I've had to rebuild my laptop.  How can I move music from my iPod back to iTunes?

    I know there are 3rd party programs for this.  Can it be done with iTunes?

    Recover media from iPod
    See this post for options on moving your iPod data back to your computer.
    iTunes itself won't help you, other than for purchases, but if everything is properly tagged and you're not bothered about playlists you can recover most things with Windows Explorer, then get iTunes to reorganize what has been recovered. Otherwise there are free tools as well as premium ones.

  • How do I transfer music from my iPod to my iTunes library?

    I have a new laptop that I just downloaded iTunes on. I plugged in my iPod but can't sync it without deleting everything.
    When I first got my iPod I never made an iTunes account because I just used tons of CDs to make my library.
    Now I have an iTunes account but I don't know how to transfer my music to the library without just starting over and relying on lots of CDs I don't want to dig up.
    Any help?? Thank you!

    If you still have the computer with your original library these are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.
    As above there are free tools out there...

  • How can i transfer music from my iphone 4 to itunes library?

    A while ago, my computer crashed and wiped out everything. I had to install Itunes. I've had my iPhone 4 for a year, and have many pictures and music on it.
    I still haven't updated my phone to version 5.1, and i would like to.. but my computer is saying that i should transfer all my apps, music, etc, so i don't lose it, but i do not know how to do that. HELP!

    See https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.  You will read in this article that music on your phone not purchased from iTunes cannot be synced to your iTunes library.  To transfer this music you will have to use 3rd party software such as Touch Copy (or re-rip you CDs with iTunes to import them).
