How do I transfer music from my Ipod Classic to Itunes on my new computer?

I recently upgraded my computer and I want to transfer my music from my Ipod classic to the new system. How do I do it? If I sync the Ipod, the music will be lost.

Hi JRSandner,
Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you want to download content from the iPod to the computer. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
Re-download or transfer your iTunes Store purchases from an iPhone, iPad or iPod to a computer - Apple Support
If you purchased items from the iTunes Store and you've stored them on only your iOS device or iPod, you can transfer them to any computer that is authorized with your Apple ID.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

How to transfer files from my ipod classic to itunes on a new computer? I had itunes on my other computer. i bought cds and uploaded them to itunes there. Then everything was sync'd to my ipod.

I had itunes on my other computer. i bought cds and uploaded them to itunes there. Then everything was sync'd to my ipod.
now I have a new computer - andI want to transfer those files to my itunes.
BUT I can only transfer music I bought through the Apple store.
That's WRONG!
I spent money on cds - yes I'm old fashioned.
I want to listen to audiobooks on my CD so that's how they were recorded onto itunes and sync'd to my ipod.
Now it's a waste if I press the sync button!
I spent hours downloading cds to itunes on the other computer - which I will be getting rid of soon.
Please help.

load the current version of I tunes on the laptop and sync the pod. Then sync the phone - you can select all or as much of the music you want to.
Also - if the music on the pod was purchased from the itune store in the first place, you should be able to redownload it to the phone for free, as long as you are using the same apple id that it was bought with.

i want to transfer music from my ipohne 4S to itunes on my computer. How do i do this?

The iphone is not a backup/storage device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

How do i copy music from my ipod classic to itunes on my macbook pro?

I have a lot of music on my ipod classic from an old computer I no longer have. How do I copy this to my itunes library on my macbook pro so that when i synch my ipod and my computer, the music already on the computer won't be wiped out and replaced with what's in my itunes library on my macbook? I was thinking of burning a cd from my ipod classic, then copying the cd to my computer itunes, then synching. Is there an easier way?

Transfering music from my iPod to my itunes on a new computer

a few days ago, the power surged and destroyed my computer, and I just got a new one. Today I installed iTunes to my new computer, and when I went to transfer the music from my iPod to my new computer, I discovered that I couldn't do this. I checked the support section of iTunes for help, and only found information on transfering music while the old computer is still accessable. Since my old computer is dead, I can't access it to follow any of the steps of the guide, or disconnect my iPod from the iTunes on my old computer. Does anyone know how I can sync my iPod with my new computer and sync the songs from my iPod onto my new computer (rather than erase all my songs which appears to be just about the only option my iTunes is offering right now)?

How about this, I have an iPod that is synced to my friends computer. I finally got my own computer and want to transfer everything to this computer so I can add new stuff, but I want to leave my library at my friends house so I have a backup. So my question is, if I add stuff to my library on my computer and I reconnect it to my friends computer, will I lose the stuff I added from my computer?
If you click "erase & sync" if prompted, yes.
And also, do I need to go to my frineds house with my computer to transfer the non-purchased stuff?
Don't steal music...
The reason I want to know is I dont want to lose the stuff I have added from my computer when I connect to my friends computer. Any help is much appreciated!! Thanks in advance! =)

How can i transfer music from my ipod to my itunes without deleting music

I DONT WANT TO DELETE MY MUSIC FROM IPOD BUT I NO LONGER HAVE THE ORIGINAL COMPUTER THAT MY IPOD WAS SYNC'D TO AND NOW IT WANT TO DELETE MY MUSIC??? HOW CAN I AVOID THIS?

iTunes will let you transfer your purchased songs from your iPod to your new iTunes as detailed here
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
For the rest of your iPod music, you will need to use a third party program like TouchCopy to copy your iPod content onto your computer or straight to your new iTunes. There are free TouchCopy PC and Mac downloads available from here

Also, see this YouTube video on how to use the program..

How do I transfer music from my iPod to my iTunes library?

I have a new laptop that I just downloaded iTunes on. I plugged in my iPod but can't sync it without deleting everything.
When I first got my iPod I never made an iTunes account because I just used tons of CDs to make my library.
Now I have an iTunes account but I don't know how to transfer my music to the library without just starting over and relying on lots of CDs I don't want to dig up.
Any help?? Thank you!

If you still have the computer with your original library these are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.
As above there are free tools out there...
