The easiest way is to simply restore your music from your backup drive.

How can I move music from my iPod to my new computer if my computer can't SEE the music from the source?!?

I have read through lots of suggestions for moving my music from my iPod to my new computer...but can not seem to overcome a very difficult hurdle:
When I connect my very old iPod to my computer and click on the icon to open it, only 3 folders come up: Calendars, Contacts and Notes. I cannot "backup" anything useful here!
When I open iTunes, the program can see my iPod, and lists the complete library...but I cannot KEEP it in my computer! WHY?!?
When I go to iTunes > File > Library, I do not get a "backup" option to use to backup my iPod music, either.
HELP, please. I have spent hours fiddling around trying to figure out how to do this, and am getting crankier and crankier.
Thanks in advance...

How do I transfer music from an iPod to a new computer, with an existing iTunes account that is not mine, or to an iPad??

My computer crashed and I lost my iTunes library and music. The music is however on my iPod 5th Generation. How do I move my music to my husbands computer, where he has his own music....or how do I transfer or add my music from my iPod to my iPad?
I also lost all my gift card money on my iTunes account. Can I add my iTunes account to a computer that already has an iTunes account?

I have read this, but it does not help. My crashed computer had my iTunes library with MY iTunes ID. The new computer and iPad that i want to transfer my music to, that is on my iPod, is under a different iTunes account. Can I still transfer my music from my iPod to a new computer that has a different ID?

How do I transfer music from my ipod to a new computer?

I need to move all the music from my ipod to a new computer so I can put it in iTunes?

The best way is to use the backup you made on the old computer and restore the iTunes folder to the new computer. No backup? The if the old computer is still working using an external device to copy the iTunes folder from the old computer and copy it to the new one.
If neither of the above are doable, and you have a PC, use this:

How do I get music from my iPod to my new itunes account on a different computer?

I can't get the music on my Ipod onto my new computer. Everytime I try and sync my Ipod to get my music into my music library, a first notice comes up saying "This Ipod is synced with another Itunes library. An Ipod can be synced with only one Itunes library at a time." I click the button that says "Transfer Purchases." But then another notice comes up sayiing that I can't transfer the music onto this computer because I'm not authorized for them on this computer. I'm frustrated because I've gone and authorized the computer multiple times, but it still doesn't work. I can't even call the Apple support because it's been over 90 days since I purchased my Ipod. Please help?

HT1473 how can i put music from my ipod to my new computer when my old computer died?

My old windows laptop died and can not get anything off it, I now have a new windows laptop and want to transfer the music from my iPod to my new laptop. How can I do this??

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 and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.

How do I upload music from my iPod to my new computer's iTunes Library?

To try to explain this simply;
I recently purchased a new computer (Toshiba laptop),
I have already uploaded some CD's to my Library and synced my iPod Touch to my Library,
But when I connect my iPod Classic to my computer's iTunes tells me that my iPod is already synced to another Lirbrary and gives me the options of either to "Transfer Purchases" or " Sync and Erase",
I've tried to "Transfer Purchases" but it seems to upload literally only iTunes store purchases but I want to upload ALL of the music from my iPod to my Library because I have purchased albulms from a (deleted) Rhapsody account and I also have Youtube converted songs (which basically makes up my entire Library),
I also have uploaded files from my old computer with an external hard drive but I have absoulutly no idea how to find them,
So! I need to upload my music from my iPod to my Library without deleting music from my existing Library or my iPod
Please help! And please explain as well as you can, I get confused easily..

The best way is to use the backup you made on the old computer and restore the iTunes folder to the new computer. No backup? The if the old computer is still working using an external device to copy the iTunes folder from the old computer and copy it to the new one.

How do i get songs from my iPod to a new computer?

my old computer died so i got a new one and it doesnt have any of my songs and if my iPod dies or something i lose all my songs. How do i get my song from my iPod to my new comp?

You can't sync your music back 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 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 files from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

You really need to get an external drive and put together a backup plan.

How do I transfer music from my ipod to my new computer when I have songs downloaded from another source that is not i tunes. It prompts me for i tunes user name numerous times with different profiles every time.

It is not showing my ipod as registered on this computer by the way.

If all the numerous user profiles are yours, just sign in with the relevant passwords. If they are not then you shouldn't be using the media anyway...

You don't... iDevices are not backup devices.
