the musics are not from the apple store and are from the internet

IDevices are not backup devices.
Sync is one way, computer to iDevice.
Copy or move the media from the old computer (or the backup of the old computer) to the new computer.

  • How do I transfer the music from my iPod to my new IMac computer (95% of the music on it is from CD's I own)?

    How do I transfer the music from my IPod to my new IMac computer?  I just changed from a PC to IMac. 95% of the music on it is from CD's I own and the ITunes on the new IMac is only recongnizing the ones I bought off of ITunes.

    That is correct.  The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • How to I transfer my music from my ipod to the new hard drive?

    My windows laptop crashed two months ago and I lost everything on it.  I was able to get the hard drive replaced but all of my music is on my ipod (nano - 2nd edition, I think).  Only a small percentage is purchased via itunes.
    I have been googling how to now move my music from my ipod to my new hard drive but most solutions assume that I still have the old laptop/hard drive.  I know I was able to do this previously when the hard drive crashed, but I can't seem to remember now as it was about 5 years ago.  I'm afraid to do anything just now as I don't want it syncing to an empty library and have my ipod wiped clean.
    Is there any way of moving the music from my ipod to my itunes library on the new hard drive??  Please help as I don't want to have to reload over 100 cd's

  • How to I transfer my music from my iPod classic to iTunes on my PC?

    Reformatted HD and installed new motherboard in PC.  Lost iTunes music library and music lists.  My iPod still has everything on it.  How do I transfer the music saved on my iPod back to iTunes on my PC.

    First, you need to prevent automatic synchronzation with a blank copy of iTunes.  While connecting the iPod to the computer, click "cancel" when iTunes presents the dialog box offering to synchronize to the iPod. Or hold down the Shift and Ctrl keys in Windows. This should stop the iPod from auto synching with iTunes and the iPod 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 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
    You can then copy music that you purchased from the iTunes Store back to iTunes directly (use the Transfer Purchases From iPod command under the iTunes File menu).  If you want to copy back other tracks, the easiest way will be to search CNet or another software compendium for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities, some free, that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod  back to your PC.
    It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this article in the iLounge:

  • The vast majority of my iPod music was not purchased from iTunes. How can I transfer the music from my iPod to my new MacBook?

    Most of my music on my iPod was not from iTunes and I need to transfer it to my new MacBook Pro. Anyone know how, preferably without spending money?

  • How do I transfer my music from my ipod to my laptop? I have Windows 7 and using the newest itunes update. These are all songs that were burned from cd's and such and weren't actually purchased through itunes.

    I try to play a song but an exclamation point shows up saying the file could not be located. They play on my 1st gen video ipod just fine. It does that with more than half of my songs. Originally I had my songs in an external hard drive but the HDD fell once and since then it hasn't been connecting to my laptop. Now the songs that I used to have back then won't play on my itunes unless u plug in the HDD which my laptop won't detect. Is there a way for me to transfer my working songs to my itunes from my ipod so they'll all play again? im getting ready to buy and ipod touch but it's not good if most of my songs don't transfer because of the "missing files".

    If it were truly a backup, then the media would play on the laptop as it would be on the laptop.
    Sounds like you actually do not have a backup, instead you chose to keep your media on an external drive.
    Regardless of where the media is stored, it's always a good idea to have a backup for instances like this.

  • HT1386 I have an older iPod (5th gen, 30GB+video).  My computer crashed and itunes was no loner accessible on it.  On my new computer, how do I transfer the music from my iPod to the library in iTunes that is on my new computer?

    I have an older iPod (5th gen, 30GB+video) that I had connected to my computer with iTunes.  That computer crashed and the only place my music is stored is on my iPod.  How do I move that music to the iTunes program (version 8) on my new computer.  When I connect my iPod to my new computer the music shows up in my iPod's music directory but I can't move it to the library.
