How do i take music off my ipod shuffle

When I use to connect my ipod shuffle to my computer, there would be a choice for me to click on that said Bety Bare's iPod.  Then I could see all of the songs on my ipod.  Now it doesn't come up and I want to delete and add songs.  Any suggestions?

Hello bzbare
If you are not seeing it, check out the steps in the following article to setup syncing. Also in iTunes 11, the way that the iPod shows up is different. It is located by iTunes Store Button on the upper right section of iTunes.

    how do i take music off my ipod nano

    How you delete depends how you have your iPod set to update. If you are updating automatically then delete the files from the iTunes library and next time you connect they will automatically be deleted from your iPod. if you are updating manually, connect your iPod and click on the icon when it shows in the iTunes source list. Find the files on your iPod that you want to remove, highlight them and delete directly. To select multiple items such as all the songs in an album, click on the first track in the list hold down the shift key and click on the last track to highlight the selection. Then press the delete key.
    To summarise, you start by highlighting the song/video/selection in either the iTunes library or on the iPod then press the delete key on your keyboard.

    how do i take music off of my ipod?

    If iTunes is set to automatic synchronization, just remove the track from iTunes. If it's set to synchronize selected playlists, remove the track from the playlist. If it's set to manually manage your iPod, select the track through the iPod's icon in iTunes and press the Delete key.

    For iTunes purchases, you can transfer them back to iTunes by plugging  your iPod into her iTunes library and choosing File -> Transfer Purchases.

  • How do i take music from my Ipod and put back into my CPU.

    I lost some music files on my i tunes, but i still have all of these songs on my i pod. How do i take the music off my Ipod and put it back into my i tunes. I have a PC using windows XP. I lost a total of 1381 songs. I lost these song by trying to down load Music into a T-Moble SideKick 3. I was told by the sales rep that the Sidekick 3 was, I tunes friendly. Yeah right!!!!
    Bottom line is i just want to take what i have in my ipod and put it back into my PC. Can this be done? If so please help.

    I am in the same predicament. My computer crashed and windows was destroyed. Windows has been reinstalled and my files were retrieved and stored in a backup harddrive. I also lost itunes and have reinstalled it but I have no music in my library and can't find my complete library in my retrieved files. I need to find out how to restore my itunes library from my ipod as well. I don't want to lose all my music on the ipod if I sync with itunes that has an empty library.

  • How do I move music off my iPod onto my Mac mini?

    Can anyone tell me how to save/transfer all of the music from my 30GB iPod onto my desk top computer (Mac mini)? I would like a safe method, least likely to lose any of the music.

    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: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    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 music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available, you can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Senuti Mac Only
    PodView Mac Only
    PodWorks Mac Only
    iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
    iRepo Mac & Windows
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac & Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac & Windows
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. 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
    One last thing, if you have been using your iPod with another computer and it is set to update automatically then you need to take care connecting to a new iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. You should then be able to change your settings: iTunes for Mac 7.3 Keyboard Shortcuts
    When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that way you can continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed above your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
    Whichever retrieval method 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.

  • How can I get music off the ipod and into my library?

    I can't get the music off my ipod into my library... arg why won't it let me?

    You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music 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. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not work with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

    iGadget Windows Only
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    PodPlayer Windows Only
    There is a new function in iTunes 7 under File, "Transfer Purchases from iPod" which transfers iTMS purchases. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

  • How do i play music from my ipod shuffle gen 4 on external powered speakers

    Can I play music from my IPOD shuffle gen 4 using external powered speakers?  If so, how do I hook it up?

    First a curiosity question. Why do you want to play through the computer? Why not use headphones?
    Ok, now to your question. I have never done this before, but this intrigued me. I did some experimenting and got it to work. Here is what I did:
    1) Connect Touch to computer.
    2) Open iTunes.
    3) Your device will show up in the left panel.
    4) Click the little triangle next to your device to expand it.
    5) You now have access to the different content on the Touch.
    I have played stuff from Music, Movies and my playlists. Everything works the same way as if it was on your PC.
    Hope that helps and good luck!

  • How Do I Transfer Music Off My Ipod When It Wont Go On?

    Please Help:
    Recently I downloaded the new Itunes(Itunes 7). After downloading it I was prompted to upgrade my Ipod (30g Video) to the new system (1.2). Almost immediatly after finishing this download my Ipod turned off, and is now frozen and will not turn on. Also, my computer doesn't recognize when my Ipod is plugged in, nor does the "Do not disconnect" screen come up, my Ipod stays blank. I called Apple they told me that I can send in my Ipod for it to be fixed, but the hard drive on the Ipod will be wiped. I recently bought a new computer and do not have any of my songs in my library, this is over 2000 (2000 + dollars) songs I have bought that I am currently on the verge of losing.
    I have tried various USB ports, two different computers, restarting my Ipod, talking to apple technichal support, putting my Ipod into disk mode, manually trying to get the compter to recognize the Ipod through the manager, and smashing on my desk out of anger hoping that something might happen (just kdding). I believe thats everything, any other ideas you have are greatly appreciated. I have tried the 5 r's.
    If anybody has any ideas on how can get my computer to recognize the Ipod is plugged in so I can back up all the songs (via my computer, ipod...copy all music files) would be greatly appreciated, that way when I send in my Ipod and then get it back, I can put my songs back on.
    If there is apparently no way to get my computer to recognize I plugged in my ipod, all i need to know is any way whatsoever to get all my songs off my Ipod before sending it in for repairs and apple deltes all my songs?

    Without putting too fine a point on it, I take that to mean you had a lot of music on your iPod that was not stored in iTunes on your computer, and quite a bit of that music you do not own via online sales or on its original media. No judgment here, but live by the sword, die by the sword.
    In the digital age one of the unsung benefits of owning a proper license for your media content is the ability to restore or replace those digital files in device failure -- and devices alway fail one way or another sooner or later.
    It sounds like your firmware update failed. If Apple repairs your iPod without replacing or reformatting the hard drive you'll get everything back. Unfortunately the assumption here is that all data on the iPod is mirrored on the host computer -- not much is done to preserve iPod data. You can take your iPod to an Apple Store and ask the Genius if there is any way to restore your iPod to operational condition, even temporarily, so that you can back up the data. The answer will probably be no, that it is beyond the capability of Apple's Genius and/or repair service.
    You can if you wish send the iPod to a data recovery service. It's a standard hard drive in that iPod, and if it's just the logic circuitry of the iPod that is broken, due to failed firmware update or other defect, they can connect that hard drive to another host and most likely recover the data. This will be expensive and it will void your warranty. By the time you pay for expedited shipping, data recovery services and a new iPod, you're approaching such a cost that you might be better off having the iPod repaired or replaced under warranty and then buying your former music collection. I would say, buying again, but that might not be exactly the right choice of words.
    Good luck. Despite my sarcasm I really do understand your frustration -- I've lost important data before -- and the suggestions I offer for a solution are sincere. I'm afraid however that you're going to have to chalk this up to lesson learned.
