How do I put all my iPod songs into my iTunes library?

I got my iPod in October, and at the time I didn't own a computer. I used my dad's computer to put songs from my CDs onto my iPod.
Today I finally bought my own laptop, a Mac iBook. I'm trying to load all my iPod songs into my iTunes, but I can't figure out how.
Thanks for any help!

Hello Colleen,
The transfer of music is designed to be one way by default - from iTunes to iPod. However, there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod. This is just a selection but I would recommend Senuti, I have used it myself and it's very user friendly.
Senuti Mac Only
iPodRip Mac Only
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions

Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these and pick one you are happy with, they are generally quite straightforward.

    Hey, I had the exact same issue. The way that Apple explains to do it is change your iPod into hardrive mode by messing with the preferences. While your iPod is hooked up to your old compuer, go into preferences and check the box saying enable disk use. Then your iPod will appear on the desktop and you can drag the song files into it. I don't know if you can transfer them all at once or not. Anyway, then you hook up the iPod into the new computer and drag the songs into iTunes. I had trouble doing this and it erased all my songs one time but I think it was an error on my part. Another way to do it is to send the song files through AIM. Have someone on the old computer and you on the new one and send them in large bunches to the new computer. Yet another way is to e-mail them to yourself and download them on to the new computer. The sure-fire way (and the way I finally succumbed to but it worked!) is to download the program iPodCopy on the new computer and follow the instructions to have your music quickly and easily copied. It does cost $17.00 dollars to download but I was willing to pay the price to have my music transferred hassle-free. Just type iPodCopy into google and it should come up. After months of trying and searching how to transfer my music to the new computer, this was my last resort and it was well worth it!
    I hope my suggestions help you out in your iPod escapades!
    Let me know if they work. Buenas Suerte.

    Restore from backup if you have one.
    You can also transfer stuff from your iPod if you have one:

    If you are in the US or Canada you can download purchased music from the Purchased link in the iTunes store.
    Otherwise if the disk drive is OK in your Old PC you can remove it and put it in a USB drive enclosure and then use it as an external disk on your new PC, then you copy the muisc from there.

    Consolidate your files in the iTunes folder
    You can consolidate all the files in your library in the iTunes folder—for example, to make it easier to move your library to a new computer.
    Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
    Select “Consolidate files.”Files remain in their original locations, and copies are placed in the iTunes folder.
    To create folders (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Audiobooks, and so on) inside your iTunes folder, and place all your imported media files in the appropriate folders, select “Reorganize files in the folder ‘iTunes Media.’”
    Locate your iTunes files
    Do either of the following:
    Find out where a file is stored: Select the item in iTunes, and choose File > Get Info. The path to the file is shown at the bottom of the Summary pane (next to Where).
    Show the file in Windows Explorer: Select the song, and choose File > Show in Explorer.

  • I lost my iPod Nano. Can I retrieve all of the songs in my itunes library, or just the ones I purchased from the store?

    I lost my iPod Nano. Can I retrieve all of the songs in my iTunes library, or just the ones I bought through the iTunes store?

    The "bar" at the bottom does not say anything about all of your songs being on the iPod.  It just shows you how much of its storage capacity is being used, based on what is on the iPod.
    If you see "On This iPod," that means the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible.  This is easier to describe with the sidebar visible, so from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. 
    Select the iPod in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  There is a bar of buttons near the top, starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This is the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music.  You can choose to sync Entire music library, if (?) your iTunes music library fits on the iPod.  With this setting, your entire iTunes music library syncs to the iPod, and new songs get synced automatically.  A 7th gen iPod nano is 16GB, so your iTunes music library would have to be less than 16GB (not counting non-music content on the iPod).  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Then, select (checkmark) the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres you want on the iPod from the lists below.  If you want newly added songs to sync to the iPod, they must be part of your selection.  For example, you can add them to a playlist that you have selected for syncing to the iPod.
    When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the iPod.  Going forward, changes to your iTunes library (based on your settings on the iPod's Music screen) sync automatically to the iPod, the next time it is connected (or when you click Sync).

  • How do I stop all of my music in my itunes library syncing to my iphone 5 even when the songs aren't ticked?

    How do I stop all of my music in my itunes library syncing to my iphone 5 even when the songs aren't ticked?

    The frustrating part about the restore is that is seems to be finished when it in fact is not.  The restore will look "finish" and your phone will be at the Swipe to Unlock screen. If you swipe and look at your home screen at this point of the restore, you'll see everything is not quite right.  While the process seems to be not doing anything just leave the phone attached and do something else for about an hour.  This part of the process is not mentioned during the restore operation.  I believe there are about two steps to the restore process: 1) restore the phone settings (ringtones, background, notification settings, etc.) and give the user the unlock screen; 2) without letting the user know there is still more to do, begin the slow process of restoring all the music, movies, apps and what not.  It's this second step that causes the confusion.  Nothing lets you know to wait that process out.  I've restored a couple devices from a computer backup and the 2-step process looks the same.

  • Importing Songs Into Your iTunes Library

    Does importing songs into your iTunes Library (from either CDs or via iTunes Store download) slow down your computer? If one has thousands of songs in his/her library, does the overall speed of the computer slow down, including when running applications?

    My library is fairly large, although not as large as others have claimed, but my 10,000+ tracks have not made any sort of noticeable slowdown on my computer that I can detect.
    I think where you get a lot of slow downs with large library is if you have a large number of Smart Playlists with live updating so that when you play stuff or change ratings or whatever in your library, the computer has to do a lot of rule comparisons for several SPLs against a large number of tracks, so you can get slow downs between songs or when you change stuff.
    But if you don't get overly carried away with the SPLs, you should be fine.

  • How do I put parts of multiple songs into one song?

    I'm trying to make a mix of songs for my friends party and I was wondering how I could put parts of multiple songs together into one soundfile? If iTunes can't do this are their any other softwares that could do this? Thanks, appreciate it.

    Prosper,
    That is beyond the ability of iTunes, and requires the use of an audio editor.
    A free one that many people like is Audacity.
    After you do the editing in Audacity, you can export an MP3 and add it in to your iTunes library.  The original files remain unchanged.

  • How do I sync my old ipod to my "new" iTunes library without losing the music I already have loaded onto my iPod?

    Hi, so I got my new computer loaded up with iTunes and I want to be able to move my music from my old iPod to my new iTunes library without losing any of the music I already have placed on the iPod. How would I do this? And please I'm not too savvy with the new iTunes layout and such so if you could make this easy in layman's terms that would be great.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you purchased all songs in the iTunes Store, plug your iPod to your Mac or PC and iTunes will ask you to transfer purchases.
    If you didn't purchase any song or you have non-purchased songs from the iTunes Store, you have to use an application to transfer the songs to iTunes. Here is a list of applications you can use for that > https://discussions.apple.com/message/11319208#11319208

  • Can I put my iPod info into my iTunes library?

    I recentely had to do a system restore on my computer, so all of the music on my iTunes library is erased. It is all still in my iPod though, and I need to send my iPod back to apple for repairs, but it says the info may be erased. Can I put my iPod's music/videos into my iTunes library? (For free... I have found a bunch of programs costing money)

    Google is your friend -- I found a bunch of free programs including this one:

  • Upgrading OS - How do I get all my music back into reinstalled iTunes?

    Hi. We are upgrading my operating system from Windows 2000 to XP on my computer that currently runs iTunes. I have my entire iTunes folder backed up on another computer. I know I'll probably have to reinstall iTunes after the OS is upgraded. But how do I add all that music back into the new version of iTunes? We won't be replacing the hard drive, so all that music should still be on the same computer.
    When I reinstall iTunes, will it automatically add the music back, or will I have to do that manually? If so, how do I do it? Just go to the "Add a folder" option in iTunes and add the entire iTunes folder? If I do that, my playlists should be restored since I have the .itl file in that folder, right?
    This is so confusing.

    Install iTunes.
    Copy the backed up iTunes folder into My Documents/My Music.

  • How can I wirelessly in for a song from my iTunes library on my PC to my iPad

    I would think it would be a way to import a song from my iTunes library to my iPad if I wanted to take a few songs or maybe an album with me on the iPad I don't want to use a USB cable and connected to the computer I'd like to do it wirelessly.  Have Apple home sharing set up and thought I could just browse my iTunes library from the iPad and import a song that would be great if that works but I don't see a way to do it hoping that there's alternative ways to accomplish this.   Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me with this.

    Do you want to stream them to you or transfer them?   And are you talking about at home on your wifi network, or anywhere?
    If away from home, the only way to get the songs is to download them as you want them from I cloud.  The cloud will not stream.
    If you are home, you can go either way.  If you want to transfer them, then pick them on the computer, and sync. You cannot pick the songs to sync from the pad or phone.      If you are home, and you want to just listen to them, you can stream to your device using AirPlay.  Assuming all devices are on the same network with the same apple id, you can play song that live on your computer on your phone or pad.
    In the music app, at the bottom, touch more, and your shared library will be available.
