How to get all of the songs on my iPod to iTunes?

Not all of the songs on my iPod is purchased from iTunes.
Others are songs from CD's. Such as Demi Lovato's Don't Forget.
I no longer own the disc. So I can't take it out of my iPod.
Help. Most of the songs on my iPod are very precious to me. And what happens if I lose my iPod!

    Restore from backup if you have one.
    You can also transfer stuff from your iPod if you have one:

    If you are in the US or Canada you can download purchased music from the Purchased link in the iTunes store.
    Otherwise if the disk drive is OK in your Old PC you can remove it and put it in a USB drive enclosure and then use it as an external disk on your new PC, then you copy the muisc from there.

  • The user acct my apple was connected to no longer works (corrupt).  My Apple TV is still synced to that account and all of my recent purchases are going to that username.  Does anyone know how to get all of the purchased items back and to the new user?

    The user profile my appleTV was synced on my computer to no longer works (corrupt).  My Apple TV is still synced to that profile and all of my recent purchases are going to that username.  Does anyone know how to get all of the purchased items back and to the new user (same computer)?  I created a new user on my computer and moved the itunes folder to the desktop but never changed the path to which the apple synced to.  Now I can only see old items I purchased before the user profile went bad.  PLease help!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Changing the library the Apple TV is synced with will delete all synced content from the Apple TV, but it won't delete purchased content.
    You should be able to change the library, resync any content you want and transfer your purchases back to the new library.

  • HT1473 Sometimes when I copy a CD into iTunes all of the songs do not show y up in one album, but mutiple albums, all with the same name. Is there an easy way to get all of the songs into one album.

    Generally adding a common album artist will fix things.

    Is there a way that I can put the songs on my ipod onto itunes on my new computer without loosing them or having to buy them all over again?

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your iPod for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • How can i clear all of the songs off my ipod so i can start a fresh!!

    Hi everyone out there,
    im desperately seeking for somebody who knows how i can clear all of the songs off my mini ipod so that i can start a fresh in intunes to upload new songs. ive misplaced my handbook somewhere so if anyone is able to help me i would be very grateful. thank you GB24

    my ipod picks and chooses when i connect whether its going to update or not,
    In Auto, it updates every time you connect it.
    If you do not change anything it iTunes, the update will take only a second because there was nothing changed to update.

  • Why can't i get all of the songs that are in tunes on my ipod

    What can I do to get all of my songs that are in my tunes library onto my ipod.
    Thank you

    Remove some of the other content you may have, such as pictures or videos.
    Lower the Bit Rate that you use for your songs (but not so low that you don't like the quality of the sound)
    Buy a larger capacity iPod
    Alternatively, I ask you; "why can't you get all your songs on your iPod?"
    What happens when you try
    What else is on your iPod.
    Is there a large amount of "Other" shown in the iPod's content?
    In other words - you tell us why you can't get all your Library on to your iPod and perhaps we can tell you what to do about it.

  • Hi,I'm trying to put all of the songs on my ipod classic to a hard drive for back up but it's only adding songs that I have purchased from the store but none of the albums that I put on from my cd collection.Is there a way to do this please?

    Hi,I'm trying to put all the songs from my ipod classic onto an external hard drive,but it is only putting purchases from itunes onto hard drive and not any of my old cd's that I put onto the ipod manually.Am I doing something wrong?Thanks.

    Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer.  As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
    You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you.  I'm sure you'll pay, however.
    Let this be a very important lesson learned.
    Best.

  • How do I listen to the songs on my iPod through  computer speakers?

    Ok. I give up.
    I don't understand how this iPod Shuffle works.
    I got it a few months ago, and copied three or four Brian Eno albums onto it (46 songs to be exact).
    I can listen to the songs on the iPod when I am using it with the earphones, but when I plug it into the computer, it says something about "some of the items in the library were not copied to the iPod because they could not be found." (Meaning none of the songs were copied.)
    I don't understand what it's trying to do.
    The songs were already on the iPod. Why is it trying to "copy" them on to it?
    And if I unplug the iPod from the computer and play it through the headphones, the songs are still there.
    Could somebody please help me?
    I just want to be able to listen to the songs that are on my iPod through my computer speakers. How on earth do I do that?!!

    I have the syncing option unchecked, that is why I do not understand why it is trying to sync.
    I am also trying to play songs off my iPod via iTunes.
    I also don't understand why I need to have the same songs on my PC if they are on the Shuffle. My songs are on my external hard drive... which I don't always have turned on, or with me for that matter. I certainly don't want to be hauling a hard drive around with me wherever I travel to. I want to be able to copy a small number of my favourite songs onto the Shuffle so I can carry the Shuffle and the laptop around with me and listen to them.
    I need to be portable!!!

  • Can i erase my itunes library, and still keep all of the songs on my ipod?

    i have a 30 gb, 5th gen. ipod. i have over 6,000 songs on it, and it is slowing my computer down pretty bad. so my question is if i erase the songs to allow my computer to run faster, will the songs on my ipod be erased? if so, is there any way to move them somewhere else so it doesnt slow my comp down anymore? any advice would help

    i suggest that you only charge your ipod using a power charger, then it won't ever matter what songs are in your library.
    however, you wouldn't be able to add any songs to your ipod in the future...because if you sync your library with your ipod, any songs that you deleted would be removed from your ipod.

  • How do I edit the songs on my ipod through itunes w/o having to update all

    I just recently got an ipod and I'm loving it. I am a heavy music downloader and am also very particular about how my songs are organized (no duplicate artist names, songs, etc.)sometimes a song slips my eye, so how can i edit my songs and artists on my itunes and match it back to my ipod without having to delete them all and update the entire library again?
    PC   Windows XP  

    Thanks a lot for the help and the quick responses (this discussion site is great)...so one more (Very elementary) question...you both say to sync the ipod "again", how do I do that? I know you sync the ipod when you simply connect it to the computer but after I make song edits, do I manually disconnect then reconnect to automatically update the ipod or is there a drop down button on the top of the itunes page that I can click?
    So the run down:
    1) Connect the ipod (sync)
    2) Ipod settings on: (manually manage music) or (automatically update)
    3) Edit the songs desired in: (my library) or (in ipod)? - which one should I do so that I don't have to do it twice?
    4) Then resync the ipod to match the library (how do i "sync again")?
    Thanks in advance for the help...
    Do I have it right?
