How can I transfer my music back to my iTunes account from my iPod devices?

Hey, I just got my computer back up after getting rid of a virus. I am trying to reload my music, pictures, apps, back into my iTune account from various iPod, iPod nanos, and iPad.
How can I restore my purchases and music I loaded from stacks of CDs previously accessible?

  • My iPod Classic is synced with an old iTunes account.  How can I transfer this music to my new iTunes account?

    My iPod Classic is synced with an old iTunes account.  How can I transfer this music to my new iTunes account?

    If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
    1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
    2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
    3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.

  • How can I transfer purchased music to a new iTunes account for my daughter who now wants to make her own purchases?

    Daughter is over 18 and wants to make her own purchases. She has music I no longer need to share with her. Can I give it to her somehow?

    purchased music is tied to the iTunes store account (Apple ID) used to purchase the content and cannot be transferred.
    however, a single iTunes can be authorized for up to five Apple IDs. so, all your daughter needs to do is authorize her iTunes for your Apple ID along with her own. you can use home sharing or an external HD or burn the tunes to disc to transfer them to her computer/user account on your computer.

  • How can I transfer content which I downloaded off the internet from my ipod to my library

    ... I bought C418's minecraft volume alpha for 4 dollars, and backed up my ipod for the sole reason of trying to get it onto my itunes library. APPARENTLY, itunes only backs up purchased content. The album disappeared completely from my ipod! I'm beginning to lose patience with itunes...

    It seems that only third party apps will copy non-purchased music from your iPod to your library.

  • How can I get my emails back into my hotmail account from the Mail app

    Dear Apple support team
    I started using the Mail app some weeks ago because I apparently needed it, to be able to open an invitation for an iCloud shared photo folder. As soon as I registered my email into the Mail app all my emails from my hotmail account where deleted from the hotmail server. I really hope that this is possible to revert because if not, it'd be a catastrophe for me. I use that account from several devices for work, and I need those old emails in the server to be able to work again!
    I'd really appreciate any advice on this!
    Many thanks,
    Pier

    You can use the iPhoto Export feature to do that. Furthermore, it's the best way if you want to keep the quality of the pictures.
    To put the photos in the Pictures folder, first open iPhoto and then, select Edit menu (on the menu bar) > Select All. Finally, go to File menu > Export, and export your photos to the Pictures folder, so they will appear on all Time Machine backups you create since then

  • My old computer has broken and I had not backed up my Itunes. I now have the hard drive from my old computer but cannot transfer the music. How can I transfer the music from my old hard drive to the new laptop?

    My old computer has broken and I had not backed up my Itunes. I now have the hard drive from my old computer (windows 7) but cannot transfer the music. How can I transfer the music from my old hard drive to the new laptop (windows 8)?

    Copy the entire iTunes folder from \Users\<User>\Music on the old drive into your music folder on the new computer.
    Or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Seems like the iTunes app has lost most of my music. How can I get my music back?

    A new version shouldn't do that but it does seem to happen on occasion to a few unlucky ones.  Restore your library from the backup you make of your computer before you install new software.  If you don't have one, this is a learning experience.
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • I have an IPhone 5, and of course I have used ITunes. My Computer has been completely destroyed, so I have to Purchase a new one. How can I transfer my music from my iPhone to my New PC?

    The way I do it is I hook to my windows computer, it will pop up iTunes. I click iTunes off. The phone will show as another drive on your computer. Click it open then migrate to the photos folder from the iPhone.
    Then select all, cut then right click on your pictures folder on your computer or make a new folder on your desk top like I do and right click on new folder and select paste.
    Photos will be gone. Just remember to turn off the iPhone sync in your photos folder on the phone or they will come back
    Good Luck

  • Old Computer crash. How can I transfer my music  from Ipod to new Computer?

    Lightning struck my old computer, how can I transfer my music from the Ipod to the new computer (Windows XP) Itunes library?

    You don't need to buy anything from the spammers that infect these forums. There are plenty of free options.
    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 from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.

  • I was downloading music from my partners purchased music on my phone and it wiped all my existing music, how can i get my music back as i dont have it on my computer anymore?

    i was downloading music from my partners purchased music on my phone and it wiped all my existing music, how can i get my music back as i dont have it on my computer anymore? please help me 

    If you bought this music from iTunes you can download it again from within your Purchases in the iTunes App.
    Otherwise, razmee is right. you can only sync to one itunes library.  If you sync to another one whatever does not exist on the new library will get removed from the phone.
    That's is by design to avoid Piracy. As otherwise you could simply transfer purchases to other users.
