How to sync music bought on iPod to iTunes

I purchased some music using iTunes and my iPod touch. Later I sync'ed with iTunes and the music was transferred to iTunes on my PC.
For several reasons I had to reinstall my PC but was not able to off-load data before the reinstall.
How do I now sync the music I purchased from my iPod to iTunes?

I have tried to use the 'transfer purchased music' but it is as if it has already replicated the music once and then it's not possible anymore.
I have bought music afterwards and that works fine.

You can sync music to the iPod by connecting it your computer, selecting the iPod on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and then using the Music tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select which of your iTunes music library to sync to it. There are some instructions on syncin music on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351
You can also download a copy of the iPod manual from here : http://support.apple.com/manuals/ipod/#ipodtouch

HT1351 Whenever I try to sync music to my ipod from itunes, it will go through all the steps up until it actually downloads the music, then it starts, and doesnt move. Why wont it download anything?

Try here:

Not updating the iOS should not effect your problem.
As long as all the apps are in the iTunes library, you will not lose app data by updating the iOS.

How to copy music from the iPod to iTunes ??

Hello,
I use iTunes since some months and have bought several songs at iTunes. Now I also bought an iPod and copied the music from iTunes to my iPod.
Because my harddisk was almost full I deleted most songs in my iTunes directory because I thought it is possible to copy music from the iPod to iTunes ... i.e. I thought that the music on my iPod is like a backup.
But now I it seems impossible to copy music back to my computer. Are all those sond lost ?
Dear experts: Is there any possibility to get my music back to my computer ?
I hope someone can help.
Regards
Michael

You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes. The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve individual music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

The transfer of purchased content to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7, look under under File>"Transfer Purchases from iPod". A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

How to sync music bought with an old apple id with a mobile me icloud

I migrated from mobile me to icloud using my mobile me account (which is different to my itunes apple id account) and I can sync pictures, contacts and ical via the cloud to my mac, iphone and ipad using the mobile me @me.com id. All devices are signed in with the mobile me @me.com log in.
However, my purchased music won't sync when i buy it with my itunes apple id. Do I have to re-sign into icloud using my old apple id to sync it all? If so what happens to pictures and ical.
I started off by creating an account using my old apple id on the iphone (which prompted me to create an entirely new me.com address), but I changed it to the @me.com log in and deleted it from the iphone because it would not sync pictures etc.
I think I did something wrong at he very start due to the confusing prompt for an apple id when creating the original icloud account.
Any help appreciated

You should continue to use your itunes account ID for iTunes and your iCloud ID for syncing services such as calendar et al.
If you want your iYunes purchases to download to all your devices, check automatic downloads in settings > store on you iOS devices and iTunes preferences > Store in iTunes on your mac/PC.

How to sync music to the ipod 80gb

it is saying it syncing the song but when i eject the songs are not pulling up

A Sync is just that. A particular song will only be added to your iPod if it is actually in your iTunes Library (and stored on your computer) and not simply listed with a cloud icon next to it (which means it's in the cloud, but not on your computer). Once on your computer, it needs to be in a compatible format and be included in things to be Synced.
Is the song stored on your computer or, does it have a cloud icon next to the title?
Is there any other symbol next to the song, such as this one...
What format is the song in (MP3, AAC, etc)?
Does it play in your iTunes Library?
Do you use Sync Entire Library or Sync selected Playlists etc.? If you do, is the song included in a list that will be Synced to your iPod?
Do you use Sync only ticked songs and videos? If you do, does the song have a tick in the box next to the title?

How to play music from my iPod in iTunes?

I have installed iTunes 7.5 on a second computer and plugged my iPod. I can see its content but everything is grey and I can not play the songs?
Why?
How can I solve this?
Thanks a lot
Olivier

Grey text when you look at the content and a lock symbol at the bottom of the screen just indicates that the iPod is set to update automatically (sync). If you want to play the iPod songs through iTunes, delete songs from the iPod, drag songs from iTunes, add playlists to the iPod etc. you need to change the update setting to "manually manage songs and videos". The text will change from grey to black and everything will be directly accessible through iTunes:
Managing content manually on iPod
iPod 101: Fill 'er Up
Something to remember about using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on the desktop and check this link for alternative methods: Safely Disconnect IPod

How to transfer music library from iPod to iTunes to replace a failed hard drive on a Macbook Pro?

My MacBook Pro hard drive failed and I was only able to save a few songs out of a library of over 5,000. My iPod Classic, luckily has the entire library on it, BUT all I can find is how to update the iPod with the current iTunes library on my new and empty MacBook Pro. How can I do a reverse update, from iPod back to the iTunes library on my computer?

Transferring music from my ipod to itunes

My computer crashed and I lost all of my music. I've been trying to figure out how to transfer music from my IPod to ITunes. Any suggestions?

" I also want to add the music that was already in my ipod"
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod to iTunes.

How do i get it back! i bought most of my music on itunes but i just dont have any idea where to go and whjat to do can any help me??
Respond please!

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then see if you can redownload your past music purchases (those that are still in the store) via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you are not in a country where music can currently be re-downloaded, then have you not got it on your computer and/or on a backup ? If not then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

How can i delete the sync musics in my ipod?

how can i delete the sync musics in my ipod..well in fact i already changed my settings..i already use manual choosing of musics and videos..how can i delete the sync music?? beacause i really dont like the sync musics, pls help me...

go to settings > general > usage > music app under the storage section > slide across the bar that says 'photo library' and a red delete button will appear
you can also plug the device into your computer with itunes, go to the photos tab at the top center and uncheck where it says 'sync photos.' then press 'apply' in the bottom right corner. this will erase the photos that were synced to your phone from the computer
