How do i take songs off my ipod and add to my daughters itunes account

For iTunes purchases, you can transfer them back to iTunes by plugging your iPod into her iTunes library and choosing File -> Transfer Purchases.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying non=iTunes purchased content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

HT1386 I'm reloading my music library onto my 5th gen.iPod nano and everytime it tries to sync a song (uncorrupted) it will take 2 hours to sync it 90% then it will stay there and not make any progress. How to fix?

This has been going on for three days. I had to restore my iPod because the artwork was scrambling around (anyone know how to fix that too?) and when I tried to reload all my music onto my iPod, it would load on a few songs, but then it would stop on "I Wouldn't Mind" by He is We, which I got off mediafire and never gave me problems before. I unchecked the song when I tried to resync my iPod, and sure enough it just switched over to another song (this one being from a CD) so I don't think it's a file problem, but an iPod problem. I've tried different cables, different USB ports, restarted my computer, uninstalled/reinstalled the latest versions of iTunes, even cleaned the lint from out of my iPod's docking slit. I am using a Dell Inspiron which I got in October, and this is my first time restoring the iPod since transfering my library over from my old computer.
Is there something I can do myself to fix these problems and have my iPod sync normally again??

as to rockmyplimsoul's post.
- unfortunately i don't really remember how i transfered songs to my MB anymore... it was several days ago and i didn't try fixing it until yesterday... after which point i've been through several bouts of struggling against smashing my MB/iPhone, pulling my hair, and punching my counter top several times until finally my girlfriend decided to go home and i quickly set about self medicating with alcohol - probably sounds funny, but true. i'm sober now though! ;p i think when i first went to sync my phone for the first time after resetting my MB, a message came up saying that i had songs on my phone that needed to be transferred to my MB or i would risk losing them during the sync session, so i clicked 'transfer'.
- i have a LOT of non-iTunes content.
- i have over 11,000 items in my itunes library (some of these appear to be sound effects that appeared in my library after i reset my computer - presumably stuff from garage band), and currently have 80 songs on my phone.
- my 'other' category is .86 GB
- i back up to iCloud
- i do use iCloud for other media storage. mostly just reports for work.

All my songs got deleted off ipod touch 4g and are not syncing back. How do I fix this?

READ THE WHOLE THING. I went to download a Taylor Swift CD to my ipod. I imported it like usual then hit sync. It didnt work. I tried importing it again and syncing it didnt work. So in the top menu where it says music, summary, ipod etc, I clicked on music. The box where it said sync songs was not checked so I checked it a pop up came up so I hit ok. Needless to say all my songs EXCEPT the Taylor Swift ones are not on my ipod! I have tried everthing to get the songs back. The funny thing is when I go to library all my songs are in it but when I g to songs it only says there 16... Please reply to this question... I wont my songs back...

See if this previous discussion helps.

I need to get the music off my Ipod Nano 2nd GEN onto either ITunes or in a music foldes on my new computer. Not all the music was purchased from Apple Itunes HOW DO I DO THIS WITHOUT LOOSING ALL MY MUSIC??

I have not had a computer for several years and I just got a new one. My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. Thank goodness I had it all on my Ipod Nano 2nd GEN. Now my problem is that I don't know how to get the music off my Ipod Nano onto my new computer!!! I was able to get the songs that I purchased thru ITunes by just authorizing my new computer. But I have alot more music that is on my Ipod nano that I can't put into my ITunes library. In fact, I can't even get my music into a file folder on my computer!! I really need help. I don't have any copies of the music anywhere else and some of it is hard to get. How do I get my music either into ITunes or into a file folder on my new computer or even if I could get my computer to recognize my Ipod and sync all the music into windows media or something like that. Every time I connect my IPod all that happens is that it tells me if I sync the IPod that it will replace all the music from my ITunes library on to my IPod. And I am guessing that means all my music on the IPod will be erased. PLEASE HELP ME!!!! Thanks from the bottom of my songsters heart

From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

My ipod nano 6 will only play one or two songs then I have to force the next song to play. It will start several songs before settling on one. This just started and I havent changed anything. How to I make it go back to playing songs continuously?

Then back it up and do a restore. If that does not work and if you are still under warranty, call Apple tech support or take the iPod to your local Apple Store or an AASP.

Saving songs on iPod before reformatting it to new laptop (how?)

So I have a 120GB iPod Classic that was formatted originally on a Mac. All of the songs on that Mac were downloaded. I now have a PC laptop with new songs on my iTunes. I made sure I disabled the automatic synching on the iTunes for my PC. I plugged my iPod into my laptop, and it said I had to reformat it since it was done before on a Mac. I assume that means I need to save those songs on the iPod somewhere else before I reformat it, right? How does one go about doing that? If I bought a portable hard drive, could I download the songs from my iPod on to that hard drive? I can't do anything on my computer without reformatting it the iPod, and I'm worried that means I will lose my songs. Am I being paranoid? What might be the best way to take care of this?

If your iPod is formatted for Mac it won't run natively on a PC because Windows operating systems don't recognize Mac OS-formatted disks (HFS or HFS Plus formats). A portable hard drive would have to be connected to a computer so you could load anything on to it so you'd still be accessing the drive through Windows unless you intend connecting it through a Mac first.There are third party programs that will allow you to use a Mac formatted iPod on Windows. XPlay for instance gets good reviews and has the added functionality to let you copy your songs back to iTunes. Once you have your songs saved to the PC you can go ahead and restore the iPod on your PC and reformat it for Windows. You can purchase XPlay at this link: XPlay

How to add new songs to ipod shuffle from different computer with different itune library without change old songs on ipod?

Hello,
I am using ipod shuffle. Now it's having some songs.these songs was synchronised with my old desktop itune library. Now i changed to laptop and downloaded latest itune software. Now i need to add more songs to ipod without change old songs on ipod. How it's possible? Please help.

The way iTunes and iPods are designed is not compatible with what you want to do. The best approach would be to open iTunes on your old desktop, and make a backup of your iTunes library, from which you can copy across all the songs from your old library onto your new laptop - not just the ones that were synced to the shuffle. One place to start for instructions on how to do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1364
The other approach is to search online for a utility that will copy songs off an iPod without syncing it, add those songs to your new library, and then erase-and-sync the Shuffle. This way, you only get to save whatever was synced to the Shuffle at the last sync.

I have a problem with the external sound of my ipod, when I take the headphones the music keeps playing and the ipod recognizes still have a headset connected. how do I get external sound out?

I have a problem with the external sound of my iPod, when I take the headphones the music keeps playing and the ipod recognizes still have a headset connected. how do I get external sound out?

- Try insering and removing the headphone plug a dozen times or so.
- Try cleaning out the headphone jack in the iPod.
- Resett he iPod. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restoe to factory defaults/new iPod
If yu still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem, likely a bad headphone jack. Yu can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to confirm.
If not underwarranty Apple will only exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for:
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
A third-party place like the following is less expensive. Here is one. Google for more.

How to get songs back on iTunes once uploaded to iCloud & deleted off hard drive?

I have my 10,000 song library saved on an external hard drive. I got the subscription to help limit used space on my laptop hard drive. I started iTunes Match with my entire library (external drive) and uploaded my entire 10,000 songs. Once completed I deleted everything from my iTunes program & unplugged my external.
Now my computer has absolutely no songs on it and I now expected to have access to my entire 10,000 song library from the cloud. Once restarting my computer and iTunes I opened a library of all my songs visible in iCloud with download buttons but I was unable to actually click & download any of the songs that showed.
I turned off iTunes Match from the "Store" menu and turned it back on. Now my library is completely empty but when I check the iTunes Match tab it tells me that I have 10,000 songs in iCloud waiting for me.
How do I get my songs???????

This sounds like an issue of the local iTunes client getting confused about the location and status of the library.
To use iTunes with all Song files on an external disk is straightforward if you have instructed it to find the Song files in that location.
A good route would be to connect the external hard drive such that iTunes client can see all your Song files as normal - check that you can both play your Songs and complete an Update iTunes Match.
Assuming all is well at this point you can instruct the iTunes client to delete all Songs keeping files and not requesting iCloud deletion. At this stage all Songs should appear with a working download indicator against them.
If you now switch off iTunes Match. Restart the iTunes client and create a new blank local library store on your computers internal disk, then switch on iTunes Match - all Songs will now appear. You can complete a test download, it will simply store to your new library location. From here you have the state you wished, all Songs accessible from the iCloud - with the ability to download should you choose.

I want to buy a Ipod Nano 16gb and it says it holds up to 4,000 songs, and 16 hours of video but on my Itunes I have 2,593 songs and it says I have 19.88 gb. How is this possible?

I want to buy a Ipod Nano 16gb that says it holds up to 4,000 songs, 16 hours of video, and 14,000 pictures. On my Itunes Library, I have 2,593 songs and it says I have 19.88 gb just of songs. How is this possible? If I buy the Nano, will I not be able to have all my songs on the ipod? The music is my first and only prioarity. I want to be able to have up to at least 3,000 songs, even if that means not having video or pictures. Can someone please help me?

Daniella,
The estimated song capacities, such as 4000 songs in 16 GB, are based on 4 minute songs of 4 MB each, which is what you get at 128 encoding.
Most of us nowadays use well above 128. (For example, the iTunes Store and Amazon MP3 both sell songs only in 256.)
However, you can still make more songs fit! When you sync your iPod, use the option to "convert higher bit rate songs," as pictured. Choose 128. This fits more on the iPod, but does not change the songs in your library.

How can I listen to the music/songs or watch the movies in my iTunes library if I've damaged/lost my iPod and use a system-reovered/new computer?

I accidentally dropped my iPod Classic 160 GB into the toilet
bowl of my home sometime ago, and unfortunately enough,
as misfortunes seldom come singly, I got a serious problem
with my computer ( an HP Desktop) and had to do the system
recovery which, as you know, removes everything in the system
drive. After having reinstalled iTunes, I thought I should be able
to listen to the music I kept in the Library of iTunes, but I don't
see any of my music/songs or movies there. Thus come my
three questions below:
1) How can I locate and enjoy the music or movies I saved in
the iTunes Library with a computer after its system recovery
or even a new computer?
2) Like the current situation I'm in, when my iPod is damaged
or lost, can I still enjoy the music or movies saved in the
iTunes Library from my computer ( meaning without an iPod)
if I have the iTunes application installed in it? How? Do I have
to sign in my account? Sign in with my e-mail address saved
in my account? Where can I find the sign-in webpage of iTunes?
(Please provide me with the related link of the webpage.)
3) The above issue brings up another question, are the music/songs
and movies as well as other programs in the iTunes Library saved
in my computer or in Apple's server?
Please, with your kind patience, let me know as detailed as possible.
And also let me know what Apple's e-mail address I can use to ask
for support on such issues as described above? Although I always
prefer asking for support or help by e-mail, I would also appreciate
if you could let me know the phone number I can use to ask for
such help.
Best regards,
Lawrence Wood

System Recovery generally assumes you have backed up your data somewhere first. If not, you're in trouble.
Depending on your region you can recover most of your previous iTunes purchases. Install iTunes. Use Store > Authorize This Computer... and Store > Sign In... then select iTunes Store in the left-hand column and click Purchased in the Quick Links section on the right. You should now be looking at a list of past purchases that you can download to your computer.
See also: HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Your purchase history is preserved on Apple's servers. Anything you ripped from CD or downloaded from elsewhere was stored on your computer and should have been backed up.
There is no live telephone support for iTunes issues. For problems with a particular purchase contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support. For general issues with usage this is the place to get help.

How do I unlink my iPod from my old laptop and link it to new one without wiping all the tracks off it

How do I unlink my iPod from my old laptop (Vista) and link it to my new laptop (Windows 7) with deleting all the songs?

Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
