You've posted to the iTunes Match forum which your question is not related to. However, these User Tips will help you:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

For the future, keep in mind that an iPod is not a backup/storage device. It is designed to be strictly a playback device. It is up to you to backup your personal data, including music, to a local, external HDD.

  • How can I transfer music from iPod to iTunes?

    All of the music on my iPod nano is in my ex-husband's iTunes on a Mac. Now have a Windows PC and want to transfer music from iPod to iTunes. Computer says 'Need to Format disk in Drive E'. Will this lose everything? Not sure what the best way is to do everything but haven't got any way of backing up my iPod at present. Thank you!

    any itunes purchased music can be transferred from phone to pc via hitting the "transfer purchases" option when u right click on the phone under devices in itunes on the computer when it is plugged in. any non-itunes purchased music is stuck on the phone and cannot be transferred to the computer. u will have to load it onto the computer from the original source or from the old computer.

  • How do you transfer songs from ipod into itunes library

    I have recently purchased an apple mac and am trying to transfer my songs (which I previously uploaded from CD's) to the itunes library but with no success.  does anyone know how to do this?  Thanks

    Some of the information below is summarized by turingtest2 in the post at https://discussions.apple.com/message/18842615
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer is designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

    Not a good idea at all to only have info in one place.
    You could try , at your risk, purchasing a third party program that may extract info ( not supported by Apple).

  • How can I transfer songs from Ipod to Itunes library?

    I recently lost my entire Itunes library but still had songs on my Ipod. Now when I try to rebuild my library by transferring songs FROM my Ipod TO the Itunes library, I am unable to. There are a million help subjects of how to transfer your songs from the library to the ipod but none about how to transfer them back and I can't figure it out. Please help!

    Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it 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 the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. The transfer of content 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 the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    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: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    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 on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    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. 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 move music from ipod to itunes library

    My computer had a virus and I had to restore the whole system and now my itunes library has been wiped. Is there anyway I can swap my ipod music to the itunes library?
    Pleas help!

    There's also a way to perform this without downloading anything. Open iTunes. Open your Preferences. Keep it open so iTunes detects no connection. Go to My Computer\Tools\Folder Options\View All Hidden Files. Then click "Ok". Double click on your iPod, and drag the Ipod_Music folder to your desktop. It'll copy. (If you are not in disk mode. If you don't know what diskmode is, don't worry about it.) Final step is to use the safely remove iPod option (the little green thing in your system tray) and then go to File\Add Folder\iPod_Music. Everything should now be in your iTunes, assuming you're using Windows, because you're in the Windows board.

  • How do you transfer music from a different itunes library to my iPhone? (4s)

    I am using two iTunes, one from home and one from work. My home base is my home computer. I have a lot of songs in my work computer that I would like to transfer to my Iphone yet cannot seem to do so.
    Any help?

    Heres a good link to look at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751  should answer any other questions you may have, if not ask here.
    Go to your music - copy/past itunes media library to your thumb drive,  but I would copy the music also.

  • How do I transfer music from iPod to iPod

    How do I transfer music from iPod to iPod and I don't have windows on my MAC. I don't want to have to load everything again onto the new ipod.

    You can't transfer directly from iPod to iPod.
    But it's easy if you are using the sync setting to put music on your first iPod. You just connect the second iPod to your Mac and sync it to your iTunes library, like you did with the first one.
    If you are using the +manually manage music+ setting AND the music on the first iPod is NOT in your iTunes library (only on the iPod), then it is not so easy. You need to use a third party utility first, such as Senuti or YamiPod
    http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/
    http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/home/
    to transfer your music files from the first iPod to the iMac. Put the music into your iTunes library. Sync the second iPod to the iTunes library (or transfer manually if you don't want to use sync for some reason).
