How do you get your songs from your ipod to your computer?

can anyone tell me how to get your songs from your ipod to your computer?

Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola.
If it's a Mac, try Senuti or Music Rescue.

How do I get the songs from my iPod nano to my iPhone? Not my library the songs from on this iPod?

All of the songs from the ipod came from your computer in the first place.
Sync them from the computer to the iphone.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
Would you mind telling me which anti-virus package you use? It may be that it is disturbing iTunes when it tries to write out the fresh database, as it does after almost any activity with your library. I'm noticing more of this type of problem than usual and trying to see if there is any pattern. It may help to prevent a repeat of the problem if you look at the advanced options for your AV package and see if you can find a way to exclude the iTunes folder from any real-time scanning process.

How do I get my songs from my ipod onto a new itunes library???

How do I sync my ipod to my new computer without losing all my songs??

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. 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. 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. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: 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. 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 to a computer
The transfer of content from other 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:

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 do I get the songs from my iPod to my new computer if they wont all sync when I do "transfer purchases"

I am trying to sync the purchases from the old iPod onto my computer. I purchased all of the songs on it via wifi and do not have them backed up. I need them on my computer to place them onto my new iPod 4th generation. I also have recently created my own account seperate from my parents due to the fact that I am moving out soon. Is there a way to set a new iTunes up on my computer and how do I transfer my old songs on my old iPod to the new account? Thanks!

Connect the device to the computer, do not sync.
In iTunes select File > Transfer purchases.
This will transfer all content purchased via iTunes from the iPod to the computer.
If you have not done so already, you will also need to authorize this computer for your account.
Store > Authorize Computer.

We moved to the US and while our computer was being sent over it got water damaged so I lost all of my itunes library. And I didnt back it up properly.

I really don't want to lose all my songs, so if anyone can help I'd be very grateful!!

New computer - how do i get my songs from my ipod to transfer???

I had to get a new computer and need to get all my songs from my nano over to the new computer library. i was able to see the options to transfer my purchased songs but that was only 21 out of several hundred still on my nano.
anyone please help, thanks.

For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

How do you get the music from my ipod nano 6th generation onto itunes?

I'm trying to get the music i have from my nano that o got from a my mac desktop to my pc laptop but i dont know how to donwload the music onto itunes.

You'll want to copy all your music on your flash drive over to your empty iTunes library first. Once you have successfully done that, plug your Nano in and choose the Erase and Sync option as long as you are 100% positive that all the content on your Nano is now in your iTunes library.
The Erase and Sync operation will wipe all content from the iPod, associate the iPod with the new iTunes library, and then allow you to sync content back to the Nano from iTunes.

Computer crashed, how do i get my itunes from my ipod to my computer again?

Hello,
A couple of weeks ago my computer picked up a virus and went death blue. I have reformatted my hard drives and re-installed everything including latest version of itunes. I have connected my ipod to my computer and it recognizes it but I cannot figure out how to transfer my library from my ipod back to my computer? Any ideas? I hope this makes sense. Any questions? Thanks for your time.
