HT1727 If you buy something from an Ipod touch how can you get it on your computer?

I bought a song on my ipod touch because It obviously has internet and I thought it wouldn't be a problem. I was able to download the song and listen to it on that ipod touch without any issues, however, I would like to be able to burn it to a cd, listen to it on my computer or otherwise be able to use it besides just on that ipod and I am unable to. Is there any way to do this? I thought there was since I have 2 other computers registered under this Apple ID...
I have even tried using outside software (Pod Revolution) which has worked in the past to back up music but it doesn't work this time because the song does not even show up on the device when I plug it in and open pod Revolution. I do not know why this one particular song is being so difficult, if anyone can help me please let me know.
Also this is an older ipod (3rd gen) that is actually one that was my boyfriends and he gave it to me. I am not able to do the latest update IOS 6 because it is an older ipod, I'm not sure if this would have anything to do with it

You should be able to copy it over to your computer's iTunes by connecting the iPod to it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.
Or, and depending upon what country that you are in, you might be able to redownload it directly on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage

A good option is Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac.

I have downloaded hundreds of songs from CD's. How can i get them to my computer?

I have downloaded hundreds of songs from CD's and have purchased a new iPhone5. I moved the music from phone to phone, but how can I get them into my iTunes library on my Mac?

2 easy ways, either works...
Locate the music files within Finder, select them (you can do them all at once if you like), then drag and drop them onto the iTunes icon located in your Dock.
Or select the files, RIGHT CLICK, and select OPEN WITH > ITUNES
iTunes will auto import them and then you are good to go!

I ersased all content and setting from my ipod touch, how do i get it to work now..?

and the ipod is stuck on the apple logo.. it wont take me to the home page. how do i get it back? when i connect to itunes it doesnt appear on the left side at all either

You can try to restart it with the menu and power button held down at the same time for a few seconds.
If it still doesn't work, you can force the iPod into DFU mode by following the steps below.
Finally if it still doesn't work, it sounds like it's time for a trip to the Apple Store.
How to enter iPhone/iPod DFU mode
Connect the iPhone to your computer and launch iTunes
Turn the iPhone off (hold down the power button at the top of the iPhone)
Hold down the sleep/power button and home button together for exactly 10 seconds, then release the power button
Continue to hold down the Home button until a message appears in iTunes telling you an iPhone in recover mode has been detected

My friend has lost there 4th generation ipod touch how can i get it back, i have the serial number

i was wondering if i could use the serial number to get it back

. As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

Previously purchased songs NOT showing as purchased in the itunes store. I dont want to re-buy something I already have. How can I get this fixed?

Ive got quite a few songs. I dont want to rebuy one ive already got. Why are my songs not showing as purchased in store like they once did? How do I solve this issue?

Hi,
Go to song view, add iCloud status. To do this, go to menu > view > view options and tick box. This will tell you what has been matched, uploaded, purchased, duplicate, ineligible or waiting. As the scan is stalling with one track remaining, find this track - it is likely to have a icloud status of waiting.
Suggest that you delete from library then select update iTunes Match. Once match completes try readding track - by the way how. Big is the track and whatever is its media type?

All credit was lost when i reset my ipod touch i can i get it back

all credit was lost from my account when i reset my ipod touch how can i get it back

Resetting your ipod would have no effect on your balance.
The balance is on the account, not the device.
Check your purchase history to see if something was purchased.
Check you computer and see if the balance is there.

If I buy a used Ipod Touch, how can I remove their music and add mine?

If I buy someone else's IPod Touch, how can I access their music to remove it and then add mine to it?

Two ways:
- connect to a computer with a computer with iTunes and restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
- Connect the iPod to a computer or charger and on the iPod go to: Setting>General>Reset and tap Erase all content and settings.The above maakes it lke a new iPod. For how to restore see:

You should have transferred them to your computer regularly and included them in your backup copy of your computer.
You buy one and only one download. It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
If for some reason you have failed to backup your music, then you can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

How do you transfer content from an iPod touch to iTunes?

How do you transfer content from an ipod touch to itunes without buying another software?

You can't. Mobile devices are not set up to transfer most items to a computer and if that's what you want to do (with the noted exception) then you have to pay for it.
Some of the information below has subsequently been summarized and duplicated by turingtest2 in the document: 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):
