How to get music from ipod into itunes?

i cannot find the way to import my music whuich is already onto the ipod into the itunes folder? i reformatted my computer and transferred all my music files onto the ipod to save them but i cannot get them back onto the computer!!
thanks a great deal,
claire

I face a similar challange as Claire
By doing some research I found out that it seems to be difficult, but haven't found the solution.
Would be helpful to post a solution (if there is one) or share the information that there is none, instead of just suggesting more research...
So, any hints where to look?
Cheers
Alex

  • HELP ME PALEEEZE!!!! how to get music from iPOD to iTUNES on new computer

    I bought this iPOD overseas and started the music downloading thing from the iTUNES on my friends' computer.
    Now I'm back home in the states and have my own computer and don't have a clue how to get the music from my iPOD to MY computer.
    How can I get ALL this music from my iPOD to MY computer? I don't want to lose all this music b/c I don't have the cd's b/c I got the music from someone else.
    I'm new to this iPOD game as you can tell any help would be greatly appreciated. Please help me!!!!!!!
    30GB   Windows 2000  

    It's still stealing. Your friend bought those CDs - You did not. He has the license to copy that music to his iPod - You do not.
    I don't think you're likely to get help here as it is a violation of this forum's Terms of Use to discuss illegal activity.

  • How to get music from iphone into itunes library, that was not purchased via itunes??

    Hard drive crashed, I restored my itunes music from a backup, but the backup was not updated, I'm missing music that I have on my iphone playlist, this music I got from a friend, I didn't buy it from itunes. Question: How can I get this musica from the iphone into my itunes library???

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
    You may be able to purchase a third party program ( not supported by Apple).

    how to get musics from my Ipod nano back to my mac ?
    I mean, using apple approved or suggested softwares.

    Hey there,
    There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes.
    There is a very direct method, which I personally prefer, but there are also numerous third party applications, which will help you accomplish the task as well. The link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method as well as a few third party applications if you choose to go that route instead.
    It would also be a good idea to re-authorize your computer if you have any purchases from the iTunes store. Hope this helps.

  • Computer crashed, how to get music off ipod onto itunes

    Sunny

    Hello sunnydae,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
    Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
    Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

  • Problem getting music from Ipod to Itunes

    I have a 2nd Gen Nano and recently had to reinstall my operating system (Windows XP), which required me to back up my music. I had no external HD at the time and not enough discs so I sync'd my Ipod and stored all 812 songs to my 4GB Ipod. Now that I am back up and running, I have re-installed everything and again downloaded Itunes and authorized my computer (I only have one authorization left apparently, any way to fix this as well?).
    The problem is that only songs I purchased from Itunes are in my Library. How do I get the 812 songs on my Ipod to my Itunes Library? I thought I could do it with a sync, but a window popped up saying that it would delete my current Library. I know little to nothing about computers so any plain speak will help. Thanks.

    How do I get the 812 songs on my Ipod to my Itunes Library?
    Be very careful when connecting an iPod full of music to an empty iTunes library.There is very real risk of permanently losing all the music.
    To prevent auto sync, connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'control+shift' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
    If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to a new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
    If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
    When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
    Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
    For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), 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 and iDump and iPodRobot.
    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.
    More information is contained here.
    Copying content from your iPod to your computer - The Definitive Guide.
    (I only have one authorization left apparently, any way to fix this as well?).
    You can't do anything about that until you hit the maximum of 5 authorizations.
    From the iTunes authorization article:
    +Click iTunes Store in the menu on the left side of iTunes.+
    +If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.+
    +Click the Account button again (your ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.+
    +In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.+
    +Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than 5 authorized computers, or if you have used this option within the last 12 months.+

  • Can I transfer music from ipod into itunes?

    I know I'm probably clutching at straws here but thought I'd give it a try and throw the question out there! Stupidly I let my system be rebooted with the original operating system discs without backing up my itunes!! Is there any chance of transferring my music back using my ipod?? Thanks in advance

    Be very careful when connecting an iPod full of music to an empty iTunes library.There is very real risk of permanently losing all the music.
    To prevent auto sync, before you connect the iPod go to iTunes/preferences and select "devices", then select "disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods".
    An alternative method is to connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'Command + Option' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
    If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to a new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
    If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
    When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
    Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
    Try iPodDisk.
    Similar programs are Expod, Yamipod, Senuti and Music Rescue.
    If you want to retrieve playlists, iPodRip has the feature enabling you to reconstruct them.

  • How to get music from PC into iCloud?

    I just found my original iPod but the clickwheel isn't working. I tried restarting it but it doesn't work and it's probably over 7 years old so I don't expect that it will. However, I want to listen to all my old music since when I got a new iPod, I got a new iTunes account. I plugged my iPod in and got all my music on my computer but I was wondering if there was a way to put that music into my iCloud so I can have it on my iPhone? My iTunes shows the little iCloud symbol because I have it for my new iTunes account but iTunes shows no way for me to get the music through iCloud. My endgoal is to be able to have the music from my old iPod on my iPhone so it's more accessible and I'm having a tough time figuring out how to do that.

  • How to get songs from ipod to itunes?

    My old computer crashed and I had itunes on it. I got a new computer and downloaded itunes on it. I'm going to put the music on this time manually because on the old computer when I would let it sync automatic it would delete some of the songs I already had on there. So my question is how do I get the songs that are already on my ipod onto my new itunes so i can delete some songs if I need to? I hope someone can help me with this. Thanks in advance.

    1). Connect your iPod to your new computer. If it is set to sync 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.
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. 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: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. iTunes will only let you copy your purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchases) 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. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
    Floola Mac & Windows
    iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy 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
    4). 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.
    5). 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: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • How to Get music from IPOD to External HD?

    My external HD Failed.  I have some of the music backed up on DVD but all most all of it is on my IPOD.  Does any one know how I could get the music from my IPOD to my new External HD?  One problem I think I will have is that I have about 100G of music and an 80G Macbook.  There are some programs out there that let you take the music from your IPOD to you computer but they put the music right on your internal HD.  Mine won't have enough room.  So this is a problem.  I had my old External HD set up to hold all my music so when I downloaded it, it went straight to my EX HD.  I don't know how I did this because I had help from the genius bar.  Can anyone help out?  

    annoying. itunes seemed to be a well designed product which did everything effortlessly. shame if apple didnt make it work for non apple MP3s. is Sharepod the only way to link non-apple MP3s or is there other products as well designed as Itunes that work? doesnt look like Sharepod has anything like the podcast and easy search music directory features of iTunes.

  • How to get music from ipod onto new computer?

    my old computer crashed and i got a new computer and now i don't know how to get my songs from my ipod onto my new computer. having alot of problems please help!

    All of your media that you bought from iTunes you can restore by plugging in the iPod and then right clicking on the iPod icon in the iTunes side bar and select "Transfer Purchases from (name of your iPod)"
    For songs/movies you ripped yourself:
    If you are on a Mac, look up DeTune... Or Senuti...
    there are other compatible things for other OSes but you will have to search for them

  • How to Transfer Music from iPod to iTunes?

    I have had a problem with my PC which means that I lost iTunes, the library etc so I need to use the iPod to replace my iTunes library. I have created a music folder with all of the music contained on my iPod, which is now sitting on my PC. However I have tried to drag and drop the folder into the iTunes music library with no success. I have also tried to use the "add folder to library" option on iTunes but nothing seems to happen either?
    How do I simply move the music folder into iTunes?
    Thanks
    Kevin

    By the way iTunes Help does advise to tranfer the music using either of the methods above but neither seem to work?
