How do I transfer music from my iPod Touch to my iTunes account?

I've had my iPod Touch (8GB) since December 25, 2010. I had a laptop but since it was infected with viruses, I did not install iTunes. A few  days ago, I had my laptop fixed and installed iTunes and my computer refused to sync up with my iPod. That's when I realized that iTunes transfers all the files from the COMPUTER to the IPOD and not the other way around. I know there's progreams online that I could download to help me, but I dont wanna risk getting a virus and shutting my computer down. Is there any simple way I could do this without any external help? (Aside from you, of course!)

No.
The music sync is one way -computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases:
File>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Use this to put everything back.

    How do i transfer music from my ipod touch itunes on windows xp

    If it is just the music you are after, then steps 2 & 3 have you covered. If you no longer have access to the computer you used to sync with then you may want all the information...
    iTunes is designed to sync devices to a single library. When you try to switch libraries you may lose some or all of the information curently stored on the device. To prevent this you should be able to:
    Backup the device to a new installation
    Transfer your purchases into an authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • Can i transfer music from my ipod to someone elses itunes account?

    Can i transfer music from my ipod to someone elses itunes account??

    CD's you can give to them to rip to their own iTunes.  If you do that, legally you are supposed to delete any copies you may have in your posession as you no longer own the content.
    For iTunes purchases, they are permanently tied to the account they were purchased with. 
    You can always gift the content via iTunes to your friend, purchase and give them CD's, or let them buy their own copies.

    how do i transfer music from one ipod to another using itunes

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    There is more than one way, but to get it all on all devices, connect the first device to iTunes and choose to transfer the music from the device from the file menu. Once everything is in iTunes connect the second device, select the device in the device list, navigate to the music tab and check the content you wish to sync, click apply/sync.

    How do you transfer music from my macbook pro to someone's Ipad?

    This doesn't appear to be an option anymore. 
    I can check songs but there's no transfer button -
    Syncing doesn't transfer songs in that direction -
    You can add to a playlist but the song still isn't there.
