I can't get my music from i tunes onto my i pod!!

I had music on an external hard drive which i have managed to put into i tunes but when i sync the i pod it doesn't copy them onto the i pod. Is there any method of getting this music onto it?
The music came from an old i pod and was saved onto the hard drive a while ago. I no longer have the old computer or i-pod to import the music again, just the copy on the hard drive. \if i remeber correctly it was put onto the harddrive using an i-dump programme.
Any tips?

Any tips?
Yeah, try asking in the Using iTunes for Windows forum rather than the *Mac OS X Technologies > iSync* that you've posted this in.
iSync is a Mac-only application that has nothing to do with iPods nor Windows.

How can i get my music from my itunes onto my mac itunes

is there a way where i can get my music from my old pc's onto my macbook pro itunes?

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library, though you'll need to find a different tool such as Carbon Copy Cloner for the Mac.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

AFTER recovering your song files, strongly consider developing a thorough backup strategy for just this type of situation.
After recovering your song files, strongly consider developing a thorough backup strategy for just this type of situation.
You need at least two full sets of your music, not including what is on the iPod:
-- One full set on the PC within iTunes (on internal HD or ExHD)
-- One full set on an separate external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
-- One (full or partial) set on the iPod
Music files on just the iPod and only one other medium is not considered having any backup.
If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer’s internal HD, then create and maintain at least two external sets (any multiple combinations of ExHDs, DVDs, CDs).
Backup both the music files and the Library database file (iTunes Library.itl). What are the iTunes Library files?

If you sync your ipod to one computer, then u sync it to another can you get the music from your ipod onto the new computer?

i had my ipod synced to one computer. Then that computer died. i want to add more music from another computer, but i dont want to lose my music now. how can i do this?

No. Music only syncs one way - computer to iPod. You would need to use a third-party utility to transfer music from the iPod to the iTunes Library such as Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac

1) From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
Full Details Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.
2) If you do not have access to the iTunes Library on your Old computer... or its Backup...

I can't load my music from i-tunes onto my new iphone 5.

I got the new I-phone 5, and I can't seem to get my music library from my PC and I-Tunes onto the phone. I sync it and it says it went but nothing comes over.None of my previous purchases from TV or Music come over either. It just remains blank. Do I unistill I -tunes? I would hate to have RESET the phone again.

Is the media actually selected to sync?

You're dealing with two different Apple ID's so that won't work and according to Apple, they cannot be consolidated.

Can't get the music from my iPhone onto my new MacBook Air.

Hi, I just bought a new MacBook Air, but when i plugged my iPhone in, it said it would delete all of my music when i sinced. Does this mean that all of my music will be wiped from my phone or just the songs that weren't bought using my iTunes? I also have a PC with the same songs on it.

I can't get the music from my computer onto my ipod

Okay well I have a newish computer and i recently downladed a few songs from itunes on my computer. The thing is, it won't transfer the songs onto my ipod. Online it looks like it's doing so but ig i look under what's on the device or just go look at my music on the ipod, they don't shpw up. I have like 6 songs I really want to transfer and when I called apple asking for help they sent me instructions that didn't end up helping me at all. I'm at a loss for wat to do. I tried backing up the files on my computer and syncing the ipod to the computer multiple times. I've also manually tried selecting and moving over the songs and it just won't.
Any thoughts on what to do or why they won't move over? Thanks

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Can I get my music from my library onto a new computer without having to sync anything?

I have tried using firewire and even manually moving it over. It said when I manually moved it over that it was all on the computer.....but when I turned it back on, it was not. Each time I try to sync stuff through firewire, it freezes. (The geniuses say that this is because my hard drive is about to fail) Any way I can find my itunes library online and download it or something?

I agree the term sync does somewhat give the wrong impression. I also know that most of us never really learn whether or not our backup strategies are good enough until we're called upon to use them in anger. Too often they fail.
A script is a program that hasn't been compiled into machine code but is instead interpreted at run time. There is less scope for a pretty front end but they can be just as functional. Mine tend to display one or more pop-up boxes to confirm that you want them to perform their task on the currently selected tracks, then if possible show a progress bar so you can see that they are working (and abort if needs be), and finally a summary screen shows what has been done. An advantage of distributing these programs as scripts is that others can repurpose them if they are so inclined.
If you copy your recovered media in to a new empty library then it won't have your playlists, ratings, playcounts etc. The two scripts I mention attempt to analyze all of the tracks in your library and on the device, and where a match can be found in the tag information (i.e. same name, track number, artist, album, etc.) the stats or playlist membership information are copied across.
Data copied to an iPod in disk mode can be copied back as is. Media copied over by iTunes however is given obscure filenames and placed in hidden folders. The aim is to prevent casual copying of media. Of course it is no barrier to the determined pirate, but that is the main drive behind the way things are set up.
For the future make sure you backup not just the media but the whole iTunes folder. The core of the library, holding ratings, play counts, playlists etc. is the iTunes Library.itl file. The user tip Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy suggests a way to efficiently backup the folder and then subsequent changes to it.
