    how do i get the music from my ipod into my itunes library on new computer

    If they are all purchases from the iTunes Store you can transfer the purchases from your iPod to the library by following the steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848

  • I got a new computer and some of my music apparently wasn't backed up to the external hard drive.  I have some of the music that didn't save on an iphone. How do I move the music from the iPhone into my iTunes library on the computer?

    I got a new computer and somehow have lost some of my more recently purchased and or imported music.  I have some of that music on an iphone and some on an ipad.  How do I get the music from those devices into my itunes library without losing everything else?

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    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. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • How do i get the music on my iphone into my itunes on my new mac

    i have a ton of songs on my iphone and i just bought a new mac that i want to use as my base itunes library.  how do i move th songs from my iphone into my itunes library?

    Transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer along with all other important data you will need or want to access on your new computer.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, and iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.

    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception being itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases

  • How do I get the music from my iPod into my iTunes library on a new computer without erasing all the songs on my iPod?

    My itunes library is empty on my new computer, but I have a full library on my ipod. How do I "reverse" sync? I don't see an option in itunes to put all the info from my ipod onto my computer. I see it the other way, which would then erase all the data on my ipod. Help!!

  • How do i get my music off my iphone into itunes? my old computer broke and all i have is the music on my iphone.  I have an iphone 3gs

    help me

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone.  Without syncing :  File>Transfer Purchases
    As provided you can do a forum search as this is asked and answered many times each day.

  • How do I get my music from my phone into my iTunes library?

    I have backed up my phone to the library several times but the only thing it shows on the library is "Go to the iTunes store..."

    If this Music was purchased in the iTunes Store...

    Click on transfer purchases only works for purchased apps and music, but NOT the music rip from CDs or other sources.
    For transferring music other than those purchased from iTunes, refer to the following:

    I have tried everything I can see to get my music from my iphone to my itunes library?
    I've just got a new iphone 4 and want all my music put onto my new phone but again I don't know what else to do.
