How do I transfer Ipod tunes back on my itunes

I transfered some of my play list to my ipod last weekend. I have most of my music file on a ex HD that crashed this morning. Fortunatly I have most of my music backed up on other HDs (except the play lists) but leave the internal HD on my MacBook Pro mostly free. Now I would like to also use the iPod to hold certain playlist.
Now how can I get the iPod playlist/tunes back on iTunes?

Check out this post from Zevoneer for some iPod recovery options.

How can I transfer my music back to my iTunes account from my iPod devices?

Hey, I just got my computer back up after getting rid of a virus. I am trying to reload my music, pictures, apps, back into my iTune account from various iPod, iPod nanos, and iPad.
How can I restore my purchases and music I loaded from stacks of CDs previously accessible?

Laptop stolen - now need to put ipod tunes 'back' onto new itunes......

Hi,
Well other than the utter crap of having my Macbook stolen (and changing all personal account numbers etc.), I am now trying to piece together what I can, and would really appreciate advice.
I have recently picked up a new Mac and am trying to rebuild what I lost including music:
1. I did not back up for the last few months, but have songs on my ipod Nano, that I would very much like "back" on my itunes in my new setup. I'm scared pluggin my nano into my new Mac will erase what is on my Nano - and or not let me 'sync' it. As this is the ONLY copy of certain songs I have (Downloaded from iTMS) I thought I"d play it safe and ask for advice before I go plugging and syncing....
2. My understanding is that itunes song's I've bought, if I no longer have the physical files, I can't 'redownload' them without paying again. correct?
PS. I authorized itunes on my new Mac, and drag-dropped the latest itunes library from my Backup HD.
Thanks for any and all help.

The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there's a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to your Mac at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
If you prefer something more automated there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others as well, 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 to your new 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 & 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
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.

How Do I transfer ipod library over to new itunes library

I recently got a new computer so i lost everyting in the transfer. I have windows 8 and I am trying to move all the songs from my Ipod to my new library. When I go into the music tab on itunes it says it will delete everything on the Ipod and replace it with the few songs in the new library. It still shows me the songs on my ipod in the "on this ipod" tab but I dont know how to sync it

The ipod is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
You may be able to purchase a third party program to get the music - not supported by Apple.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Us eyour backup copy to move everything to the new computer.

How do I transfer iPod tunes to another computer?

Hello,
I got my bf an iPod for Christmas and while we were at home he installed his iTunes on his parents computer and downloaded a sizeable amount of music.
Since we got back, however, he is unable to access any of that music using my computer, which already had iTunes on it. I got my iPod in May, and his is a brand new 60G video version. He reinstalled the software that came with his, just as he did at home, except all of the songs that he bought there are stuck in the iPod. Whenever he plugs it in, the music on his iPod that he downloaded at home does not show up on his iTunes account on my computer.
What gives? Any suggestions on what he can to to access the songs he already paid for?
Also, we are not on a network or server that shares, such as in a college setting. I don't know if that matters...

Kace,
These links will give you several methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you. There are many various third-party software programs that will offer a more robust process, or an easier GUI. Do a Google search for them if the links below leave you wanting…
Don King Resurrected: Deleted files from hard drive (free user steps – music recovery only)
MacMuse: Computer Crashed (free user steps – music recovery only)
Copying music from iPod to computer (a primer on various methods and software)
Copying Songs from Your iPod to a Mac or PC (resource for 3rd party software)
iPodRip Software
PodUtil Software
Senuti (Mac OS X v10.3 or higher Recovery Utility)
XPlay (Software For Music Recovery &/or Cross-Platform Functionality)
XPlay Photo Browser (For recovering Photos)
Extremely Simple Method:
1 - Open iTunes
2 - Edit=>Preferences=>’Advanced/General’ tab
2a --- ‘Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library’: checked
2b --- ‘Keep iTunes Music folder organized’: checked
2c --- Click OK
3 - Attach your iPod to the PC and hold down the ‘Shift+Ctrl’ keys until the iPod is fully recognized (this will defeat the auto-sync process)
4 - If you get a dialog box to link the Library, decline this option
5 - File=>Add Folder
6 - Browse to and open ‘My Computer’ and select the iPod
7 - Click OK
8 - The music files should start to transfer back into iTunes
No Playlists, or Ratings, Last Played, and Play Count attributes will be preserved
After recovering your song files, strongly consider developing a thorough backup strategy for just this type of situation (and many other potential disasters).
You need at least two full sets of your music, not including what is on the iPod:
-- One full set on the PC within iTunes (on internal HD or ExHD)
-- One full set on an separate external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
-- One (full or partial) set on the iPod
Music files on just the iPod and only one other medium is not considered having any backup.
If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer’s internal HD, then create and maintain at least two external sets (any multiple combinations of ExHDs, DVDs, CDs).
Backup both the music files and the Library database file (iTunes Library.itl). What are the iTunes Library files?

How do I transfer my iCloud back up from one apple id to the other?

I bought and used my phone under my parents apple id, now that I've moved out I have created a new id under my name. How do I transfer all the backed up photots on my iCloud back up to my new account?

- Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sign in with other ID. To update apps purchased with the first account you will have to log into that account.
- iTunes purchases are permanently locked to the account that purchased the.
- There are also other items on the device that are associated with the account such as iCloud account and where you can be reached for Messages and FaceTime.

After downloading IOS 6 all my stored pictures were wiped off. But the pictures are still there at Facebook and google photo accounts. How do I transfer the photos back to my iPad?

After downloading IOS 6 all my stored pictures were wiped off. I later noticed that the pictures are still there on photo stream on my Facebook and google accounts. How do I transfer these pictures back to my iPad from any of these accounts?

I once had a sync problem that turned out to be that a specific photo was corrupted and impeded the process from continuing. Try to see if it gets stuck at a specific photo, then delete just that one.

My computer crashed. How do I sync the songs on my iPod nano back to my iTunes account?

My PC crashed and I need to sync my iPod nano back to my iTunes account. How do I do that?

This is a problem I've had before too, but it's fairly easy to fix without even using iTunes:
Make sure in the folders options on your computer, you are able to view hidden files and folders.
Then, go into your iPod with my Computer>iPod control>music. There will be folders called F00, F01, F02 etc. In them will be the music on your iPod (in mp3 or aac format). The file names will be weird, like DGFB or HRRE or whatever, but iTunes or Windows Media Player (if you have Windows 7) will recognise the media info.
Basically, just copy the files out of the folders and back onto your computer and put them into iTunes like you normally do.
If you do this right it will work because I have done this before when my computer got a really bad virus and I had to reset it, as I couldn't even log on properly.

My iPod Classic is synced with an old iTunes account. How can I transfer this music to my new iTunes account?

If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
