How do I put iPod songs into my library?

Originally, my brother and I shared iTunes on his computer. Then his hard drive got erased, so we installed iTunes onto my computer. We both still have all of our songs on our iPods, but not in the new library, so I can't just go back and find the Music Folder or whatever. Is there any way to get the songs from my iPod into my library? Dragging doesn't work.

take a look at this

if you want a more simple method you could download third party software that will allow you to take the information on your ipod and transfer it onto your computer..
go to www.versiontracker.com
you can find what you need there.

How do I put synched songs into playlists via icloud? (without a computer)

Now that synching is over the air, how does one put songs downloaded on to a Mac into a playlist on an iPhone? (or vice versa}? This is easy through iTunes with a wired synch, but I don't know how to do it if there is no "mother" iTunes app open, as OTA.
Thanks.

You can also create playlists on the phone/ipod app. Go to "playlists", tap on "create new playlist" give it a name and add the songs.

Reinstalled computer - How to put ipod tunes into itunes library?

Hi sure there is loads answered this but i couldn't see exactly what i needed so apologies if i am repeating but i have a headache ><
My laptop suffered a terrible virus and i had to format my HD. Now everything is reinstalled phew
However, my ipod still has its music on it, i want to put that music back onto my laptop via my itunes library.
I am worried that by using sync i will erase all the ipod music. as 'sync' will sync the ipod to the (Empty)Library.
I need to sync the music on the ipod to the Library, so I will have my original Library from before back!
Hope this makes sense, thanks for any help

You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes. The transfer of non iTMS content 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 music files and playlists 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 can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

The transfer of purchased content to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7, look under under File>"Transfer Purchases from iPod". A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
If your iPod is set to update automatically you just need to take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod 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" will irretrievably remove all 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. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on 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 again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Putting iPod Music into new library?

I got the ipod nano for Xmas, and I put a ton of songs on it. However, I put the songs on it from a different computer (I was at my Grandma's at the time).
The songs are on the iPod, however, I need to bring them to the new library on my computer somehow, because whenever I clicked Library they aren't showing.

Go back to Grandma's and do the following.
1. Bring up iTunes and export the 'Music' library.
2. If you can, e-mail the exported list file to yourself or copy it to CD.
3. Go to your PC and retrieve the e-mail and save the file somewhere on your system or if you put it on CD then do step 4.
4. Bring up iTunes and import the file.

I have my sisters playlist as homeshare on my computer but can figure how to put her songs into my library

i have my sisters library playlist on my itunes as homesharing but can't figure out how to get her music library to mine

don't get confused by the color icons - the screen shots where taken on an iTunes 9.x library, but what you want to see in iTunes is this (view from my MBP's iTunes seeing the library on my Mini)
if you then click on the house icon, it will change to this and the shared library will load. at that point, two buttons will appear in the lower right corner of the iTunes window, being settings and import.
now you should be able to import any content from any shared library by selecting the content and clicking on import.
via settings, you can select which newly purchased content is transferred automatically to homeshared libraries

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.

How do i put multiple albums into one huge album collection?
Some examples include: Linkin Park - Studio Collection, Michael Jackson - The Indisposable Collection

Hi skullkrunch3r,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you "Get Info" on the tracks that are part of your collection, you can use the Compilation option in iTunes.
In iTunes 8 and later, you find the option to mark multiple items as "Part of a compilation" in the Options tab of the Multiple Item Information window.
See this article for more information on marking your albums as part of a compilation:
Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?

I purchased songs and now how do I put the songs on my nano 7

I purchased songs and now how do I put the songs on my nano 7

Open iTunes and plug in your iPod. On the left sidebar there should be your iPod name (If you can't find the sidebar, go to iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar), go to your iTunes playlist and drag the songs you want to your iPod. For all of the songs, go to your iPod music library, even if you don't have songs, and on the bottom there should be a blue-ish bar. There might be a box saying "Autofill from iTunes library" click that ONLY if you want ALL songs from your iTunes to your iPod.
