I bought music from my Ipod, but I can't get them on my itunes acount on my computer. Any suggestions?

I usually but all my music over itunes through my ipod. But i cant get the music on my computer's itunes. PLEASE HELP! Thanks!

Hmm. OK.
Good place to go before connecting any "new" device to an iTunes Library is Edit > Preferences > Devices and check Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically.
The device may need to be unlocked from its lock screen before it will connect to iTunes.
Once the device is displayed in the left hand sources pane the menu option Transfer purchases from "<Device name>" should be clickable.
If the device doesn't show there may be unfinished driver updates going on.
Have you authorised this computer (Store > Authorise this computer) yet? I chose the wrong wording earlier and signing into the iTunes store (if indeed that's what you meant/thought I meant) might not achieve the same ends.

sorry, I forgot to put what it said. This is what it said, "iTunes could not connect to the Ipod because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPod before it can be used with iTunes"
Try connecting the iPod touch to the computer you normally sync it with.
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 provides details about the passcode lock feature.
If you cannot remember the passcode or don't have access to the computer that the iPod is normally synced with, you can restore it from recovery mode and set it up as a new device without any data. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 will walk you through restoring from recovery mode.

I have TV shows on my iPod but I can't get them on to my iTunes

Hi oliverfromkings hill,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you may have purchased TV shows on an iPod touch, and want to transfer them to the iTunes library on your Mac.
You can use the steps in this article to transfer purchases from your iPod to your computer:

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!

The simplest way to transfer everything is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.

Log in to itunes via your acct. and there is a setting for direct downloads or save and download later, see which one you have selected, I'll bet it's save and download later.

How do i take the music from my ipod and transfer it permanently onto my PC's itunes?

How do i take the music from my ipod and transfer it permanently onto my PC's itunes?

If you were using a Mac you could use a program but AFAIK there is nothing similar yet for the PC.
However, you should have a backup of your music, correct? Just restore from that backup to your computer (and, if not, at least this will teach you the importance of always backing up your music purchases onto writable media like DVD).

Hi.
What is the exact notification you are waiting? This could be possible that the device has already been opened once. Don't you think?

Use a third-party utility such as Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac.

Was the content not synced with a computer previously? If it was, simply re-sync with that computer.
Syncing an iDevice to a new computer will do exactly what you describe above as this is not the way to move content to a new computer.

I have music on my iPad, but I can no longer find it in itunes on my mac. How do I get those CDs back in my library?

I have music on my iPad, but I can no longer find it in itunes on my mac. How do I get those "CDs" back in my library? I cannot listen to them on my Mac or put them on another device!

Thanks a lot! After I sent the above post, I tried that. It worked a little. Some of the ones that I Purchased would not come up. I followed instructions from Apple about going to Purchased and downloading them again, but ran into another problem. They are greyed on my Mac and they will not download again. It says to click on the iCloud beside them, but there is not one visible. iCloud is set up, at least I thought it was. I am sure there is a simple explanation, but I am missing it!

We have down loaded apps to our pc but we can't get them on our ipod touch. We don't have wifi but thought we could still be able to get apps on the ipod by connecting but it doesn't. We have synced out ipod. What do we do?

We have downloaded apps to our pc but we can't get them on our ipod touch. We have synced our ipod to our computer. We can't even get them when we are some where there is wifi. We don't have wifi at our home and was hoping to be able to plug it into our computer and get everything from our computer to our ipod but it doesn't work. What do we do?

Sync them from your iTunes library:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Syncing overview
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
Note that you can only sync apps from the one syncing computer/library that yo can have. If the iPod was synced to another computer/iTunes libary or set up via wifi then to make this computer/itunes library your syncing computer/library:
