How can I search and shuffle music from my ipod through itunes?

I have an ipod classic and store the majority of my music on there to save space on my macbook. Before this new update, I could search for songs on my ipod and shuffle them as well through itunes.  Is there anyway I can still do this?  And if not, how would I go about getting the old itunes version? I've tried searching and it only searches my library on the mac.

Back when I had to do something like that, I used Copytrans, http://www.copytrans.net/. You might see if they are what you want.
At worst, you could open the ipod classic in disk mode, locate the music files, copy them to your hard disk (they won't have good names), and just add them to your library. You'll probably lose play counts and *s with that approach, but it should work.

  • How can I restore all the music from my iPod touch to a new iTunes/computer?

    I have an iPod touch 4th gen running on iOS6, a computer running on Windows 7, and iTunes version 10.7.0.21 (newest as updated today).
    Basically my laptop got destroyed beyond repair, the laptop that my iPod was synched to.
    I have iTunes now on another computer, how can I get my music from my iPod to the iTunes on the new computer? Even getting it onto the computer will do at this point, as I don't want to have to download/rip CDs to get my entire music collection back.
    When my iPod is plugged in I can click on 'transfer purchases' but this only restores the apps to iTunes.
    When I had my old iPod classic, and was using an older version of iTunes, when I plugged my iPod into a new iTunes it said something along the lines of 'there is music on this iPod that is not currently in your iTunes, would you like to transfer to iTunes?' But there is no option like this now, I don't know if it's because its a different and newer iPod, or because a newer version of iTunes.
    Please tell me there's a way to copy all my music from my iPod to my computer, and preferably straight into iTunes so I don't have to input all the info again.
    Don'tcha just miss the old 'copy and paste music' mp3 players you had as a kid? *sighs at how complicated technology got*

    Playlists from Ipod did not move to new laptop when transferred on hard drive. How can I move music from my Ipod Touch to my new Windows 8 laptop successfully?

  • How can i transfer non purchased music from my iPod classic to iTunes?

    Recently, my laptop died and geek squad was unable to extract files from hard drive. How do I transfer non purchased music (burned cd's) from my ipod classic to itunes on my new laptop? Apple customer support suggested I engage support communities to find out about 3rd party software (not apple) that can accomplish this. Does anyone know of where I can find such software? Please and thank you

  • HT1386 How can I transfer all my music from my iPhone to iTunes?

    I just got a new computer forcing me to dowload iTunes all over again. I have all my music on my iPhone but i want to transfer it to my iTunes library. How can I do this? Every time i try to sync it, it says that all songs on my phone now will be replaced with the songs in the library...meaning since there is no music there that it would just be erasing all my music on my phone. PLEASE HELP. Thanks.

  • I can't acess or edit music on my iPod through iTunes...help please!

    Hey,
    Recently I haven't been able to select or edit the music that's currently on my iPod, my iPod appears in the left hand menu bar but all the music is greyed out and inaccessible.
    I can't figure out why it has suddenly done this, but I think it may have something to do with a small symbol of a locked pad-lock that has appeared by the bar telling me how many GB's I'm currently using and how many I have free.
    Hopefully this print screen of my iTunes will help to explain what has happened: (sorry it is such bad quality!)
    I know the solution is probably just a simple click of a button but, I've been trawling through all the iPod options trying to find a solution, and have been unsuccessful. I thought it might be due to the parental controls but the lock for that is unlocked and I've never set a password.
    My brother is now using my old iPod mini on the same computer but a different user account...may that have something to do with it?
    I am puzzled and confused, I hope you can help, any advice would be gratefully received!
    Thanks for taking the time to read this,

    I found this answer a few topics further in. It worked for me, hope it works for you.
    I just changed my iPod from auto update to manually update, and the list is no longer grayed out. So that is what is stopping you, your iPod options are set for auto update.
    Do the above in iTunes and everything comes up able to play.
    Thanks Katrina.S for this.

  • How can i delete all the music from my ipod

    i recently purchases an ipod from a friend and it has alot of music on it that i realy dont want. how do i go about deleting them? im not sure what generation it is but it isn't color and it does have the click wheel. it is a 20GB. it says it is version 3.1.1

    Follow the instructions here or here; the first set of instructions may require a power source other than a computer's USB port, so you should have one of these before proceeding. Your iPod is a fourth generation model.

  • How can I download all my music from the cloud to itunes?

    I have several hundred songs in the Cloud that I am attempting to download to my local PC iTunes. I have clicked and clicked and clicked on eligible songs, but nothing happens. I get a ghost text window "Download from iCloud" but nothing happens. I have the most recent version of iTunes. This is the PC that I sync my iPhone to and I don't want hundreds of songs in the cloud as they have proved difficult to play. I have spent days downloading all of the songs to my iPhone, but I have had no luck downloading any to iTunes. What am I doing wrong?

    If they are on the phone, simply transfer them to the computer.
    Connect the phone to the computer.
    In iTunes, right click on the phone and select "Transfer Purchases".

  • How do I add and remove songs from my iPhone through iTunes.

    I'm sure it seems pathetically simple if you know how to do it, but I've just spent too much time trying to figure out how to remove songs from my music player on my iPhone.

  • Updated to iTunes 7 and can no longer play music off my iPod through iTunes

    The title says it all. I can no longer play music from my iPod through iTunes now that I have upgraded. When I click on my iPod there is a little black lock beside where it shows the disk usage.
    anyone have any ideas. I like some of the new features of this version of iTunes but it really seems to be a few steps backwards.

    That little lock usually indicates that the iPod is set to autosync. In order to play iPod content through iTunes, you have to be on manual sync.
