How do i sync music FROM my ipod to the computer

I just upgraded to itunes 11, and all the music that was in the itunes library dissapeared from the itunes library, and Im freaking out!!!! However, the music that was there, is still on my ipod, so I was thinking that i can just sync it from my ipod to the computer.
there was a time where i didnt have REAL music on my ipod. I would go on youtube and record it under voice memos. How stupid was that?! anyway, my music from another itunes library is there, and like i said, its not even music, theyre voice memos! how do i get rid of those and put the music thats on my ipod back in the library? A pro, please help!

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • How do i copy music from my ipod to the computer

    Since i've gotten my ipod touch i have dowloaded music from my computer to my ipod. I restored my computer back to factory settings since then, now when i plug my ipod into the computer to get music my ipod doesnt recognize my computer and its giving me an altermatum to either delete the music already on my ipod to put more music on it, or cancel synchronization. I want to copy the music from my ipod to my computer that way if i do pick the first option i will still have my music but i dont know if it's even possible to copy music from your ipod to your computer. Someone please help me??

    Connect your iPod Touch to iTunes.  When it appears in iTunes, choose File -> Transfer purchases.

    How do I transfer music from my ipod to my computer without replacing the music on my ipod with the music on my computer?

    You can't do that with iTunes (except for songs you purchased from the iTunes Store).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer songs files from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the songs files are on your computer, add them to your iTunes library.  Then, you can sync your iPod to that iTunes library, as desired.

    The sync is one way -  computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

  • How do I transfer music from my iPod to my computer which was not purchased on iTunes?

    I just downloaded iTunes Match to my MacBook Air. Now, how do I transfer music from my iPod to my Mac which I did not purchase on iTunes? When I downloaded iTunes Match, it did its thing, but none of the music that I burned from CDs showed up on my Mac. Is there something else I should do? (I still have my old computer with my entire iTunes library on it, but I haven't used in in a while. Should I do something with that, as well?)
    Thanks!

    True. My mistake. I didn't see it.

    I'm actually currently serving in the Peace Corps in the Eastern European country of the Republic of Georgia, so I'm not always able to get back to posts as quickly as I would like. So I'm glad you were able to get it sorted out by searching the support communities. But as I tell my students (who are learning English as a second language) pronouncing and using words correctly is important to them being understood by native English speakers. The same goes for technology terms. If the correct terms aren't used (for example "import" and "rip") then misunderstandings can occur and it can take longer to get your problem solved.

  • First, I am not well versed when it comes to computers, with that being said I need help. I was trying to figure out how to get my music from my ipod onto my computer and somehow all my music on my ipod is gone and none of it made it to my computer.

    Is there any way I can find my music? I had originally added this music to my ipod from my old now deceased computer and I didn't have it backed up externally.

    It is now gone. If it was not iTunes purchased music you will have to get your CDs out and rerip them on the new computer. You have to use 3rd party software to copy non-iTunes music from an iPod to a computer, such as Yamipod.

  • Is there a way to import music from my ipod to the computer?

    is there a way to import music from my ipod to the camputer?
    I have music from all over the world and i want to import all of it to my computer..

    Sorry for insulting Apple. This whole thing has me frustrated. You would think that this is an easy thing...which it is after downloading the third party software and all.
    I am just a bit edgy after talking to 3 customer support folks for almost 2 hours, who I could barely understand and then having them just tell me to download the files again. 3500+ songs...jumping out the window was looking more pleasant (jk). Now I have to explain to the wife why the phone is busted in-two...lol.
    Anyway, I was able to get hooked up with some software and it seems to be downloading fine. I am using iPodCopy. Thanks for the nudge in the right direction and putting up with a bit of attitude. I am sure they have their reasons for not making this an easier operation.

  • How do I sync music FROM my Ipod to my PC?

    I inadvertendly deleted ALL my mucic from my Ipod and I can not recover from the recycle bin.  I have the music on my ipod and want to transfer from the ipod to the computer itunes libraray.  Also, I can not even see my music in 'purchased' in the istore.   Anyone have any ideas?

    Reloading music is currently US only so that could be why you don't see it in the 'purchased' section.
    I'm guessing you don't have a backup of you iTunes library?
    If they were purchased from iTunes. File-tranfer purchases.
    Otherwise, you will need to find a 3rd party program to transfer. I have given a few examples for reference below
