How can I move songs on my ipod into my itunes library?

All of my files from my laptop were recently deleted however they stayed on my ipod. Is there any way I can move these files into my itunes library? I have tried copying and pasting but it doesn't seem to work.

Hello there,
There are several ways you can accomplish this. The first link after the Apple support document below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

  • 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 can I put songs on my ipod into my itunhes library?

    Help... I got a message saying "Warning! The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs & DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes." I got that when I tried to open itunes after i installed a burning software. I am going to have to reinstall itunes, but I don't want to loose all my album art and play count and playlists. How can I save all this??

    Don't Worry, as long as your music is consolidated in your library, then your information (ie alb. art lyrics blah) will be saved! Just don't delete your music in your iTunes folder!

  • How can I move the music files back into my itunes library?

    Hi. I hope you can help. We bought a new computer and I was using my iPod as an external drive to move the music from one to another. This did not work, it said it ran out of room even though there was room on it...Anyway when i returned to my iTunes page the music was no longer in the library. When i check the files on my computer it is still there, yet it is not in the library. How can I get it back there? Whenever I plug in my iPod now it tries to sync it with the library which would wipe away all of the music.
    Thanks

    +"When i check the files on my computer it is still there, yet it is not in the library."+
    Putting the files on your computer does not cause them to be added to the library. To add them, use the command File > Add Folder to Library, and point it to My Music or whatever folder(s) all the music is in.

    There is no way to transfer songs backwards from the iPod to the computer thru iTunes. You would have to search for an external program to do this.

  • How can I move songs on my ipod touch to my laptop

    Hey every one!
    I have an iPod touch I think is the 3rd or 4th generation. (I think is the 4th because it has Facetime) I put all the music in with another laptop but now I want to bring it down to mine, the other one is my brother and we live in different places, both computers are mac, so I was wondering if there's a way I can transfer all the music into my computer. If I can, can I do it with iTunes? And how can I do it.. And if is not possible with iTunes, then how can I do it.
    I appreciate all your help.
    Have a safe Spring Break.

    This includes listing of some of that third-party programs.

  • 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?

    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 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:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers

    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    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 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 do I import songs from my Ipod to my iTunes library?

    I had ~100 songs in my iTunes library and on my iPod. My computer caught a virus and I had to re-install windows and that erased my iTunes library, however I still have all the songs on my Nano. How do I transfer the songs back to iTunes library on my computer?

    You can do so by following the artical here at iLounge http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/copying-music-from-ipod-to-co mputer/

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

    I have what I believe are called "phantom podcasts" - there are 1022 podcasts on my iPod from KEXP Song of the Day. For some reason, these 1022 podcasts do not show up anywhere in my iTunes library, nor on my computer. I'd like to transfer them from my iPod to my MacBook so I can listen to them and delete whichever ones I dislike. This is taking up way too much space on my iPod.
    I've tried creating a Smart Playlist per an online suggestion to no avail. They're nowhere to be found, except on my iPod.
    Thanks.

    Hello Lo-fiChick,
    The KEXP Song of the Day podcast can be located and subscribed to in iTunes on your computer via the following link. Once subscribed, the podcasts can be downloaded to your computer and removed from your iPod.
    KEXP Song of the Day
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/kexp-song-of-the-day/id121393815?mt=2
    To ease the process of downloading such a large number of episodes, you can adjust the podcast settings once subscribed to 'Keep: All Episodes' and 'Download: All Episodes.'

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - If you are in the USA you can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - To transfer other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
