HT4557 How do I import iPad songs onto my computer itunes?

I'm trying to transfer music from my iPad to my itunes library on my computer. I had to delete my itunes library on my computer and reinstall it.

You should be able to copy iTunes purchases over File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. For music from other sources (e.g. copies from CDs) then if you don't them on a backup that you can copy onto your computer then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back (you can't do it via home sharing) : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD 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. The procedure is a bit involved and it won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's 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 the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

iGadget Windows Only

PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions

If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

New PC - How do I get old songs onto new computer?

I recently had my laptop stolen ALONG with my external hard drive with all my backups. How can I get my OLD tunes into the NEW laptop? Can I hook up my iTouch and make the songs go from the iTouch TO the new laptop?
Any suggestions would be great! I have seen programs I can purchase but figure there has to be a simpler way.
THANKS!!

itunes purchases can be transferred using itunes.
anything else will need third party software downloaded. google 'ipod to pc/mac'

How do I import a song into GarageBand from 'Music'

how do I import a song which is in 'music' on my iPad into 'GarageBand' on the same iPad - I do not use the Cloud currently but I should not need to for this simple import (sorry, just starting to use the iPad today for the first time) thx

I believe at the moment the only way to import new samples into GarageBand is via the File Sharing feature of iTunes when it is connected to a computer. iCloud won't help as each app is sandboxed and can generally only access its own files. Transfer of data between apps is possible but is tightly controlled and mediated by iOS rather than by simply sharing files between applications as you would on a computer.

TS1567 I have an old ipod nano. How do I download the songs I purchased from itunes onto my older ipod?

How do I download the songs I purchased from itunes onto my older ipod nano...I believe it is a 2nd generation? I plug it into my computer, but nothing happens!!!

Hello shay82578,
It sounds like you are trying to sync music from iTunes to your iPod nano. I found some articles with steps to sync music to your iPod:
If you are using iTunes 11, you will want to follow the steps in this article:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12313
If you are using an earlier version of iTunes, you can follow the steps in this article:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351
To be able to sync music from iTunes to your iPod nano, the music will need to be on the computer rather than streaming from iTunes in the Cloud. You can find the steps to download your purchased music to your computer's hard drive under the section titled, "Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on a computer" in the following article:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

My PC hard drive died and I have replaced it. Need to import the music on my classic iPod, but get a message that it's synced with another library (old hard drive). How do I import the music onto the new hard drive? Senuti (one respondent's suggestion) is just for macs. I have no old hard drive to copy to the new hard drive (another respondent's suggestion.)

See this older thread from another forum member Zevoneer on different ways to copy music from your iPod back to your PC.

I have about 800 more songs on my nano than itunes, due to a crash. How can I get the songs onto itunes from the ipod, or at least get the new music ive gotten since the crash onto my ipod without deleting all the other songs when it syncs?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If you have failed to bakup, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

I purchased a song on iTunes and it is displayed in my list of SONGS. However, when I try to add to my iPhone 4, it displays with a small circle of dots to the left of the song title and will not play. How do I get this song onto my device?

Downloaded what? No idea what you're talking about.
Please have your keyboard checked. It seems the punctuation keys are not functioning, making it difficult to read your post.

How do I import existing song libraries to my I tunes library?

How do I import existing song libraries to my I tunes library?

Due to recent security issues and identify theft (mostly due to phishing scams), the iTunes Store seems to be requiring more frequent verification of address information, even if you have a balance from a prepaid card. Either just go through the verification process or, if you have a credit card entered and don't expect to need to use it anytime soon, go into the Payment information in your account and set the payment method to "none" which should then stop the regular requirements for verification. If it still asks - my account does - just click through the buttons and it should verify without problems.
Hope this helps.

Copy the songs to a computer that is running iTunes, add those new tracks to the current library, and then synch those tracts to the iPod.
You might take a look at iTunes Help....
