HT2045 why can i play my music from my Ipod on my computer

Dont understand why I am not able to see the song on Ipod on my computer
I see the playlist for before but it won't open up and allow my to play on my computer

You just need to change the update setting in Preferences>iPod to "manually manage songs and playlists" on your home PC before you connect it to your other PC. When that's done and you go to the other computer and connect, your songs will be accessible to play in the iTunes there.

    How can I sync my music from my Ipod to my computer

    iTunes sync is one way from your computer to your iOS device.
    You will need a third party software such as TouchCopy to do that.
    Do you still have access to your old computer with your iTunes library?

  • Why can't I hear music from my iPod Touch in the car using the auxilliary jack?.

    When I am in my car I am not able to hear much of my music from my iPod touch.  I use an auxilliary jack.  Is there some setting or adjustment that can be made?

    No setting.
    Are you connecting it to the iPod's headphone jack? Do headphones work?
    Did it work before?

  • HT1689 the computer I orginally sync"ed" to broke.  The new computer only has about a dozen songs.  How can I downdload my music from the Ipod to the computer?

    the computer I orginally syncd to broke.  The new computer only has about a dozen songs that were purchased from itunes.  Is there any way
    I can get the thousands of other songs from the ipod downloaded to the computer.

    - Connect the iPod to the computer and transfer iTunes purchases:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

  • Computer crashed...can I download my music from my ipod to my computer?

    my computer crashed and all the music I had was erased but my ipod still has it. Is there a way I can download it from my ipod to the computer?

    Hello la chefesse,
    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."

  • How can I put my music from my ipod to my computer with out losing it all

    I just got a new computer and I need to transerfer my music from my ipod to my new computer, but when i tried it almost deleted all my music. I'm not a technological person and I dont have anything to back my ipod up on if I lose all my music. Does anybody know how to do it with the new update??

    The ipod is not a backup/storage device.
    It simply mirrors the selecte content of the computer to which it is synced. The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • Stolen Computer - Can I still upload music from old iPod to new computer?

    Our computer was stolen last fall, so I'm unable to change the settings in iTunes on the iPods and iPhone we have with all our music files on them. I'm wondering if there is still a way for me to transfer that music (and photos) from our iPods and iPhone to our new computer without being able to access the old computer itself? Please help! I really don't want to have lost all my music and photos!

    Have you not got a backup of your content that you can copy onto the other computer and then load into iTunes ? If not then see if any of the utilities mentioned in this 18 month old post still exist and work : https://discussions.apple.com/message/11014893?messageID=11014893#11014893

    Possibly nobody has answered this in 10 hours because your question is not clear.  Accept?  What exactly are you trying to do?
    Do you mean authorize?

  • Why can't i purchase music from an overseas store

    Why can't I purchase music from the US ITunes Store when based in AUS. I can't even find the music I want in searches unless i search overseas.

    This has been covered here many times already, but once again: Apple has no choice in the matter. It's due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders.  Quoting from This Business of Music (10th Edition) (by M. William Krasilovsky and Sydney Shemel et. al,  Random House LLC 2007) (and thanks to the Mimico Kid for the reference) :
    The difficulty of establishing workable business models for digital files (...) extends to where they are sold and where they are played. This is the issue of territoriality, and it is an illustration of how the Internet makes it necessary to reexamine basic assumptions that have been taken for granted (...).
    (....) In the music business the primary problem is that copyrights are national and therefore specific rights are tied to national laws and the interpretations of national courts.
    (.... T)hough we can one day hope to see the development of common standards with respect to copyright, the fact that the music business is building upon a history of nation-specific contractual relationships means that the goal of universal international standards is not, for the forseeable future, a practical one.
    (...) Adding to the difficulty (...) the copyrights themselves may have been assigned to different companies in different territories. The best hope for a cleaner start and a simpler future is worldwide recognition that digital uses are in fact - and should be in law - totally new.
    The content owners don't like cross-border sales of CDs either, but there's nothing they can do to stop such sales. They can, though, and do stop cross-border download sales, since if the download stores refuse, the rights holders won't license the tracks to that store.
    So unless and until the record companies, et. al,  all get together and agree to allow download stores to sell cross-border, there's absolutely nothing Apple or any other download store can do.

  • I would like to play music from my iPhone 5 on the speakers attached to my computer at work. I don't have the authority to download itunes onto the computer. Can I play the music from the phone without having itunes on the computer?
