How do I get music onto my ipod with the new itunes?

I have a new ipod, and the new itunes. I cant find any itunes version information, but it downloaded on the 27/9/13
The old itunes showed your library and ipod icons on the left, and I could simply drag music onto the ipod icon.
With the new itunes, there is no ipod icon to drag music too. I certainly dont want to put all my music onto ipod, or have it pick songs randomly. I have way too much music for itunes, I basically drag some albums to itunes, copy them to the ipod, then delete them from itunes. I have to do this for 2 reasons, one is that my music is spread over various places, and usually when you plug in an external drive it gives it a different letter, so you "lose" music, and secondly because much of my music doesnt have correct tags because I ripped it from my CDs before there was internet databases (yes I’m old).
Any ideas how I get an album from a HD onto my ipod?
Does anyone else find itunes inexplicably unintuitive?

Hi hobbss,
It sounds like you may want to show the sidebar in iTunes. You can access it again by following this:
iTunes 11: Frequently used features
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
Show Sidebar - Choose View > Show Sidebar (this feature will display iTunes features on the left side of the application including Library, Store, Shared, Genius, and Playlists).
Also, here is an article with information on how to sync media to your iPod:

Do you mean remove them from the iPod or transfer them back to your computer? You can't transfer photo's back to the computer with iTunes. To retrieve photos from an iPod try:
iPodPhotoCopy Windows only
CopyPodPhoto Windows only
iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
To remove individual photos from an iPod you delete or remove the photo from the folder that you linked to when you set the preference "synch photos from" and update the iPod. For example, if the iPod is getting the pictures from the folder "My Pictures," delete or remove them from My Pictures.

How do you update playlists on your iPod with the new iTunes?

With the new iTunes, I can't seem to be able to update playlists on my iPhone device when plugging it in. I can add songs to the playlist and can add songs to my device. However after adding songs to a playlist, I can not update that playlist on my device with the new iTunes. You used to be able to just drag a playlist to the device and update it, but you no longer can. Can someone please tell how to go about updating playlists on devices using the new iTunes.

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?

How do I get music onto my iPod touch from my iTunes

I recently got a Mac book air and when I plug in my iPod touch, it syncs into iTunes and everything but I can't put songs on it. I tried restoring it but it did nothing.

When you plug your iPod in, click the iPod and then the "Music" tab. Make sure you have it set to sync all songs or if you only want selected/checked sonds, make sure you have the correct songs checked.

For music that you've purchased from Apple that are on your iPhone you should be able to copy to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. Also if you are in the US then you should be able to re-download past music purchases for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
For your own music that you've copied, then if you haven't got a backup on, for example, external drives or CDs/DVDs then you could see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work

You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year. It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you. Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices. See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

When I sync my ipod with the new itunes, will my apps on my ipod disappear?

The original itunes I was using is no longer available because the computer it was on is now broken so I ended up creating a new itunes on the laptop but I haven't updated my ipod because I was afraid that all my apps on my ipod would disappear..if I had free apps I would be fine but I have some apps that I paid for so I don't want to update just yet. So when I sync my ipod with the new itunes, will my apps on my ipod disappear?

oohitsnicolee,
I just want to summarise a little here so that other can be sure what is expected when comes to this issue....
1. To transfer your purchases from iPod, iPad or iPhone, 1st U have to connect your iPod for this instance to your PC. Once connected, you should see your iPod name appeared on the left column in iTune. Do a right click on your iPod to Transfer your purchase to this NEW iTune. Since is a new iTune, all your Apps from your iPod will be transfer to here...
2. Once transfer is completed, you should see all Apps in iTune now. Before you syn, you may choose what you want to syn to your iPod by checking the box next to the Apps. So eventually those that are not check will remain in your iTune together with those you have syn. Since they are purchased Apps ( Free/Paid ) it will remain in your account unless you choose to delete them via iTune.

Please help - how do I import music from my ipod into a new itunes library?

Hello
I would very much appreciate it if someone could tell me how to get the music from my old ipod mini into the new itunes library on my new laptop.
The mini was previously sync'd with my old PC which died so my files are only present on the ipod. Upon loading itunes, the software is only letting my sync the ipod providing I wipe it (obviously not desirable...)
Thanks for any support, Andy

Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" as you already know will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However 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. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iRepo Mac and Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. 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.
