How do you load songs from iPod to empty iTunes?

My computer recently broke down so I have a new computer. The problem is my iTunes on this new computer is empty and my iPod has all the songs from my old iTunes. How do I successfully load the songs from my iPod to my iTunes? I appreciate any tips that you could give me!!!! Thanks.

  • How do I get songs from iPod(video) to iTunes(7 and using VISTA).

    How do I get songs from iPod(video) to iTunes(i'm using iTunes7 and Vista).
    I don't have the disc, cause i can't find it. But my computer downloaded the ipod, it just cant find the files?
    i've been looking through the topics for the past hour and none of them helped. Maybe i'm stupid i dont really know, but i've restored my old computer a couple times and i found a post and it helped both times. now i can't find it anymore.
    THIS IS THE ONE I'VE BEEN SEEING AND IT DOESN'T HELP ME ONE BIT:
    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:

    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only

    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    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.
    Can someone give me a link, or tell me one that shows step by step.

    Here is a way of doing it, for another take on this, search the forum for posts by Zevoneer.
    Copy from iPod to PC
    It is important not to allow your iPod to sync with an empty library. If it is set to synchronise automatically you will get a message saying your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to sync – it is important to press cancel as syncing with an empty library erases all music from your iPod.
    You can also prevent auto sync by holding down shift & ctrl as you plug in your iPod and keeping the keys held down until the iPod appears in iTunes.
    Once you are connected, you need to set your iPod to manage music manually.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61148
    If you have an iPod with iTunes Store purchases on it, you can use it to copy your purchases to other authorized computers.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/7.3/en/2586win.html
    However this is not allowed for other music.
    This MacMuse tip tells you how to copy music from your iPod using Windows Explorer, but it is a bit fiddly:
    http://discussions.apple.com/messageview.jspa?messageID=797432
    Otherwise you can use third party software to manage the transfer, there are a variety of programs out there, some free and some that will copy ratings and counts as well as the music files. Here is a selection, check them out and see what suits you.

  • MISSING ITUNES SONGS AND HOW CAN YOU PUT SONGS FROM IPOD ONTO ITUNES?

    i opened my itunes one day and all 654 of my songs were GONE. the entire itunes was blank, as if it was newly installed. it wasn't.
    I have an ipod mini, and that still contains the songs since i did not attach my ipod to my computer when i saw that it was empty. my ipod still has 654 songs. But the problem is, that i wont be able to put new songs if my itunes is blank.
    How do you transfer songs from the ipod to the itunes? Usually when you connect the ipod, it automatically updates, so how will i be able to do that. I have new CDs and i want to put some of those songs on my ipod, but i wont be able to do that if my itunes makes my ipod blank. I called apple support but it costs 29 freaking dollars to help me.
    Can anyone help?
      Windows XP  

    okay, well it has been a long time since i have done this, but i will try to do it to the best of my memory.
    uninstall itunes.
    then reinstall it.
    plug your ipod in.
    a box will pop up that says something like would you like to connect your ipod to this library?
    click NO.
    then, on the sidebar there should be a boldfaced DEVICE sign.
    your ipod should show up.
    go to summary
    then check managely manage my music, and then update.
    this means that when you plug your ipod in, you will have to put the music in yourself. this is good because you can pick and choose, and you can delete songs off your ipod if you do not like it anymore. also, you have the ability to play the music on your computer when your ipod is plugged in. hope that helps..

    My old laptop broke recently and i want to transfer all my songs from my ipod to my new laptop. Does anyone know how to do this? I tried just connecting my ipod to the computer but it didnt work.
    Thanks!

    As long as you didn't let the new computer wipe out your iPod...

    See this post from Zevoneer for options on moving your iPod data back to your computer.

    Otherwise if you still have the dead laptop it may be possible to extract the drive and hook it up in an external drive bay. I've recovered data for a number of friends and colleagues this way.

  • 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):

  • How do you dowload songs from iPod nano 7th generation to iTunes on another computer?

    I have iTunes on two computers. I bought a movie on one computer, but through a series of events had to erase my iPod on that computer and sync it to a different computer. Now, it will not sync the movie unless it is on the computer I bought the movie from. Because I erased my iPod on the computer I bought the movie, I have to download my iPod to the computer I bought the movie on in order to sync the movie to my iPod. How do you download everything on the Ipod nano 7th generation to iTunes on another computer?

  • How do you download songs from IPOD to ITUNES on computer

    I go overseas with work quite a bit. I have my own laptop and a 60 GIG 5th Gen IPOD. I would love to put the songs from the IPOD to ITUNES on the laptop. That way heaven forbid that anyhting should happen, at least I could re load the music back onto my IPOD

    ok, its kind of long winded but hopefully this helps:
    1. go: My computer/<ipod>
    2. in here search for the work control (folder)
    3. this will be a transparent folder. right click and change the properties to not hidden and not read only
    4. drag it to your my music folder
    5. search in itunes for a folder, add my music
    6. this should update your music, but the names will be screwed up. remember to let itunes rearrange your music library using rip setting under 'preferences' - hope that helps

  • How do you transfer songs from ipod to itunes?

    hi,recently i have restored my computer and accidently forgot to burn the paid songs from my library to a cd. the songs are still on my ipod, but for some reason it won't let me transfer those songs back to my library. is there anyway to retrieve my lost songs back to my library?

    It's not my purchased music it's music that i just have on my iPod but i want to back it up by putting into my library

  • How to Transfer Purchased Songs from iPod back to iTunes.

    I lost some purchased songs in iTunes that are on my iPod. How do I do this? I see the place in iTunes to click to make this transfer but I'm not sure how to keep the iPod from syncing from the computer first and then it will match the computer and the songs will be lost on the iPod, too. I guess what I'm asking is how do I keep the iPod from automatically syncing to the computer the minute I put it in the dock? Is there a way to make syncing of songs manual?

    You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes Keyboard Shortcuts for OSX
    Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual if you wish. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in the Summary tab then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod

  • How to transfer purchased songs from ipod touch to itunes

    how do i transfer songs i bought from the wifi music store onto my itunes library?
    i manually manage my music so when i hit sync, it doesn't do it. when i hit file, transfer purchases from my ipod, it transfers all purchased songs, even ones i bought on other computers and then put on my ipod, not just through the wifi music store. How do i transfer just the ones purchased on my ipod?

    Hi ipodtuser234,
    Clicking "Synchronize" will only transfer songs from the library to the iPod.
    To transfer music donwloaded from iTunes Music Wi-Fi Store to the computer, connect your iPod then right-click you iPod name on the Source list and hit "Transfer Purchases".
    Here you have an article about that: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305465
    To transfer only determined song from the iPod to your iTunes library. See my post [here|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6923237#6923237].
