How can i put songs from my ipod into my itunes library?

I want to sort out all mu music on my ipod and start fresh, but i want to keep all my music. Is there a way of putting music from my ipod into my iTunes library? I understand that if there is music on my ipod then i mustve put it on there from the library but i dont think i did! It's just not there! all i need to do is transfer it from my ipod to my itunes library Pls help. Ta.

iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
With your iPod connected, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPod.
If you had Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPod sync preferences with iTunes, after downloading a song from the iTunes store direct with your iPod, the song would be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPod with iTunes after doing so.
Manually managing music and videos is manual all the way.

How can I move songs on my ipod into my itunes library?

All of my files from my laptop were recently deleted however they stayed on my ipod. Is there any way I can move these files into my itunes library? I have tried copying and pasting but it doesn't seem to work.

Hello there,
There are several ways you can accomplish this. The first link after the Apple support document 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."

One option is to use iTunesFS and extract songs from your iPod.

How do I add songs from my iPod to my iTunes??

Within Windows' folder options, select the option to view all hidden and system files. Then access your iPod through My Computer. Go into the transulcent iPod "ipod_control" folder. There's a folder in there called 'Music'. All your songs are in the several folders within this folder.
Sadly they're all renamed by iTunes, but all artist, album and song name information is retained within the files. You can simple copy the files from this folder onto your hard drive and add them into iTunes as normal.

How do I move songs from my iPod nano to my music library?

I have an iPOD Nano that preceeds my purchases of iPad and iPhone devices. Some music on my Nano is not in my current music library, probably because older PC's have crashed and in the process, some of the songs never made the transition into my computer or newer devices. I am trying to figure out how to move songs on my Nano into my music library to complete the set. Help for the dummy, please!!!

You're not a "dummy," because you cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). iTunes syncing of content generally works in one direction, from computer to iPod. However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the songs files are on your computer, you can add them to your iTunes library.
NOTE: Songs previously purchased from the iTunes Store can also be re-downloaded at no cost from the iTunes Store Purchased screen.

How do I transfer songs from my iPad to my iTunes library?

How can I transfer songs from my iPad to my iTunes account? I want to update my iPads but I don't want to lose all the songs that aren't in my iTunes account yet.

Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and you should be able to copy iTunes purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). If any of the music wasn't purchased from iTunes and you don't have it on your computer nor on a backup then you will need to find a third-party program which copy them over - there are some listed half-way down this page.
You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
You can then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

There is no way to transfer songs backwards from the iPod to the computer thru iTunes. You would have to search for an external program to do this.
