How to download all of the music onto my computer from my ipod.

Recently my computer was restored to factory settings and I lost itunes along with all of the music that was on it. I have an ipod classic..the newer ones and I was wondering how I download the music from my ipod back onto my computer? Right now I am just downloading itunes all together.
Thanks!

This is why maintaining a backup is basic.
Where is your backup?
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup (terrible idea), then you can transfer itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases

  • I just got a new Mac but I don't know how to transfer all the music, apps, videos, etc from my iPod and old computer to my new Mac.

    I just got a new macbook air and I am trying to figure out how to get all of the music, videos, pictures, apps, etc. that I have on my ipod touch and on my old computer onto my mac. I don't want to lose anything. I just want to figure out how to sync my ipod to my new mac without losing any data.

    copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the source to <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the target (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).
    you can use an external HD or your network for this operation. everything will be as you were used to from the old machine.

  • I just got new ipad mini....I want to delete all of the music that was synced from my itunes account.  I have went through and deleted some songs one by one but some have a cloud icon with a red arrow on them.....is there a simple way just to delete them?

    Yes there is. Those songs are not actually on your iPad. They are in iCloud ready for download if you choose to do so. If you want to remove them go to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Show All>Music>Off. You can also do this in Settings>Music>Show All Music>Off.

  • Not able to download all of my music onto my ipod 5 after 8.2 update

    After updating my 5th gen ipod touch to 8.2 software I am not able to download all of my music from my itunes library.
    I have updated the software twice now and have restored and gone back to factory settings and have started over from scratch.
    Before doing this my ipod wouldn't download any music. After doing this, it has downloaded some but not all music.
    For instance, out of 100 songs on a playlist, only 90 will download. My apps and photos seem okey, just not the music.

  • How do I download all of my music onto my iPhone 6 from the cloud.

    I recently purchased an iPhone 6 plus.  My music is on there but with the cloud symbol which means I have to download from the cloud to listen to it when not around wifi.  What is the easiest way to do this for all of my music.  I tried hooking my iPhone to my iTunes account on my computer with USB and syncing hoping all music on computer with show up on iPhone 6.  This did not work.  Still seeing cloud symbol.

  • Is there a fasterway to download all of the music off of my icloud onto my ipod touch

    Im deploying soon and i wont have wifi to listen to my cloud, is there a faster way than by going artist to artist downloading the songs, because i have way to many songs to download one by one. thank you

    I did this with a playlist that has over 6000 songs, but the "download all" feature seems to only download 100 songs at a time. After that, the rest of the songs just stay with the spinning icon, but never start. I turned off the auto lock feature, and am leaving my iPhone on the charger, and it still happens. I hit the download all button, nothing. I quit and try again, nothing. I have to restart my phone in order to download the next 100, and so on it goes. I even tried turning off iTunes Match to sync music the old fashioned way, but iTunes will not let me sync my music. I tried to manually manage my library, and only 16 of my 6000+ songs transfer. The rest of the music is greyed out, with a dotted circle symbol next to the rest of my library. Music was not purchased through iTunes, so Authorization should not be necessary. I am at a loss. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • How do I get all of the music on my computer to transfer to my Iphone?  For some reason, itunes has picked up some songs but not others.  example, I have several CD's loaded in which only 1 or 2 songs from the CD shows up in itunes.

    I have about 70 Cd's loaded on my computer as I had previously owned another MP3 device before I got enamored with the Ipad and Iphone. My problem is itunes will not recognize all of this music.  To give a specific example, I have an old Bon Jovi Cd "crossroads" , itunes only recognizes 2 songs off the Cd.  How can I get itunes to recognize these songs?  They do not show up on itunes anywhere but if i go to my music folder I can locate the songs and it even shows the itunes logo but, the songs will not play with itunes.  I've got a few hours of music i would like to have on my iphone. Can anyone please help me with this?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything on the computer, then sync.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone to your computer - File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

  • My hard drive crashed and I have lost my Itunes library. How can I get my the music that I loaded from my own CDs back on my PC from my iPod?

    My hard drived crashed in my HP Pavilion desktop and I have installed a new one. I have Windows 2007. My Itunes library is gone. How can I get all the music that I loaded onto my iPod from my own CD's back into an Itunes library?

    The loading of audio files to iPod is designed to go one way only: computer to iPod. There are some third-party applications available which will rescue an audio library and write the files back to a PC HDD. The playlists might not copy, nor the album art work, nor videos but you might be able to recover all audio files. Some apps are open source and available for free download, for example: Senuti, Onyx. There are others which are  Windows-based; do a Google search to find out. 

  • I recently lost most of my library content, but have all music on my ipod nano.  Is it possible to restore the list on my computer from my ipod.  I do not want to hook up only to begin sync and loose info on my ipod as it is my only source for my library.

    I lost much of the music in the itunes library on my computer, but all songs are on my ipod.  Am I able to safely put the songs from my ipod back to my itunes music library  ( safely)??

    Disable Autosyncing via iTunes Preferences first.  Head to Edit -> Preferences and click the Devices tab and make sure there is a tick mark next to disabling autosync.  Then take a look at this older post from another forum member Zevoneer for different ways of copying content from your iPod back to your PC.

  • How do I copy my MUSIC to my computer from my IPOD.

    I lost my operating system, all files, all IPOD data, etc. due to a computer virus. I had to load a complete version of Windows Vista to create a new operating system. Now I only have my music on my IPOD touch and I want to get it back onto my computer and then back onto my Itunes account. But there seems to be issues with IPOD Touch and Windows Vista. Is there a way???
