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?

  • How to transfer music from ipod to itunes music library

    i just opend itunes and all my music was gone on the library but i have it all on my nano..is there a way i can take all that music and transfer it to the itunes music library?

    I don't know anyone who has had problems with it, and yes, it does take up a bit of space, but the advantage is that you can go to a computer that doesn't even have iTunes, plug in your iPod, and Yamipod lets you put music onto and off of the iPod with that computer. So if you have a work computer where you are not allowed to install programs (for example) you can still use it there.

  • How can I transfer music from iPod to iTunes?

    All of the music on my iPod nano is in my ex-husband's iTunes on a Mac. Now have a Windows PC and want to transfer music from iPod to iTunes. Computer says 'Need to Format disk in Drive E'. Will this lose everything? Not sure what the best way is to do everything but haven't got any way of backing up my iPod at present. Thank you!

    any itunes purchased music can be transferred from phone to pc via hitting the "transfer purchases" option when u right click on the phone under devices in itunes on the computer when it is plugged in. any non-itunes purchased music is stuck on the phone and cannot be transferred to the computer. u will have to load it onto the computer from the original source or from the old computer.

  • Any way to transfer music from iPod to iTunes

    I had to get new laptop and lost all my music from the iTunes I had on the previous lap top. Is there a way to transfer music from iPod to iTunes ?

    Or you can do it the cheap way...
    In the options screens, check "Enable Disk Use." Your ipod should then show up in your My Computer as a new drive.
    In My Computer, go to TOOLS>FOLDER OPTIONS...>View [tab] and under "Hidden files and folders," choose to "Show hidden files and folders"
    A new folder will pop up in My Computer's Ipod Drive letter called "Control" or something like that. You should be able to dig around in there and find a bunch of mp3s randomly named... Those represent your music files. Drag all the folders that have your music in it to the new computer's harddrive.
    Now go into iTunes, "add Folder to Library," Choose the folder that you drug from your iPod and iTunes will import all your music as if nothing happened. Synch it up and it will transfer all this "new music" to your iPod, replacing the old music with the "new" stuff. You'll see... It's like nothing ever happened.
    Please note that you'll lose your ratings and playlists... But honestly... Who cares??
    Happy transferring!

    I am needing to know how to transfer music from my ipod to my iphone and ipad...I dont not have a mac computer

    If they are iTunes purchases then you might be able to re-download them directly on the iPhone and iPad via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app (re-downloading isn't possible in all countries) : re-downloading. If you can't re-download them then you will need to go via a computer's iTunes (PC or Mac).

  • How to transfer music from ipod to new mac

    i cant figure out how to transfer music from my phone to my new mac

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • How to transfer Music from iPod to Computer/Windows/Mac

    I want to transfer iPod music to my mac,because iPod memory is not enought to use,whether I need a tool to help me to transfer music from iPod to my mac, because apple devices is not allowed to direct transfer music from ipod to mac,whether you have some good idea?Please help me!!!thanks!

    1.The first thing you want to do is connect your iPod to your computer via the white USB cable.
    2.After your iPod is connected, open My Computer, or just Computer from the start menu and look for the iPod drive. It should be in the (F:drive. You will see the iPod logo in the listing of disk drives.
    3.If you are using Windows 7: Open the iPod drive and click on ORGANIZE. Then folder and search options tab. Then View and Show hidden files and folders.
    If you are using Windows XP, open the iPod drive and click tools then Folder options then View tab then click show hidden files and folder. Finally click Apply.
    4.Now you should have a new folder called ipod_control. Open that folder up and you should see the following: Calendar, Contacts, ipod_control, notes, photos, ect. If you are trying to save all of your music then the ipod_control folder is the only one you need to worry about.
    5.Open the ipod_control folder then open the music folder. Copy each one of those folders (should look similar to these: F00, F01 ...) onto your computer. You can do this by creating a new folder on your desktop and dragging the files into the folder.
    6.Open iTunes and insert the new folder you created on your computer's desktop into: library ---> Music
    You can now transfer music from your iPod to this new computer with out losing all of your music.
    Hope it can help you.
