I cannot transfer music from my iPod to my computer.

The hard drive on my computer crashed/ I didn't have a backup, so no big deal. I installed iTunes and went to copy my music from my iPod back, but it won't copy. Why not? I've read the answers about protecting music rights and the iPod is not a backup device. It does have the ability to drag & drop through iTunes so I don't know why I can't do that back to my computer.
There has to be a simple method to accomplish this.

you can go on google and type in "ipod to itunes converter" then download one, then you can copy your music from your ipod to itunes

How do I transfer music from my ipod to my computer without replacing the music on my ipod with the music on my computer?

You can't do that with iTunes (except for songs you purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer songs files from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the songs files are on your computer, add them to your iTunes library. Then, you can sync your iPod to that iTunes library, as desired.

Does the old hard drive still work? You can buy an external hard drive case and transfer data to your new Macbook Pro and recover your itunes libary. As far as i'm aware, Apple have not created software or allow you to move music from ipod to Mac.

How do I transfer music from my iPod to my computer which was not purchased on iTunes?

I just downloaded iTunes Match to my MacBook Air. Now, how do I transfer music from my iPod to my Mac which I did not purchase on iTunes? When I downloaded iTunes Match, it did its thing, but none of the music that I burned from CDs showed up on my Mac. Is there something else I should do? (I still have my old computer with my entire iTunes library on it, but I haven't used in in a while. Should I do something with that, as well?)
Thanks!

True. My mistake. I didn't see it.

Also, true. In my haste I forget to put in the links that might have helped. Nobody is perfect:

I'm actually currently serving in the Peace Corps in the Eastern European country of the Republic of Georgia, so I'm not always able to get back to posts as quickly as I would like. So I'm glad you were able to get it sorted out by searching the support communities. But as I tell my students (who are learning English as a second language) pronouncing and using words correctly is important to them being understood by native English speakers. The same goes for technology terms. If the correct terms aren't used (for example "import" and "rip") then misunderstandings can occur and it can take longer to get your problem solved.

How to transfer music from an Ipod to a computer

I bought a brand new computer after my last one quit working altogether. I have over 250 songs on my iPod that were not purchased on Itunes, and I need to transfer them to my new computer. Is there a way to transfer music that was uploaded from CDs?
**Hitting "transfer" only transfers songs I've downloaded from iTunes. It doesn't help with content I've gotten from other sources.

You can transfer music from iPod to computer by these steps:
Open iTunes on your old computer.
Connect your iPod to your old computer and wait for it to appear in iTunes.
Select your iPod on the left side of the iTunes window under the Devices section to display your iPod preferences.
Click the Summary tab in the main iTunes window.
Select the "Manually manage music" checkbox. This will also select Enable disk use.
If the above steps does not work, you can try some 3rd party apps like iPod Transfer.

Can I transfer music from my Ipod to my computer after computer crash?

We had problems with our computer and had to run recovery on it. Everything that was stored in the computer is gone, including all the music we downloaded to ITunes from old CDs. All the music is still stored in my IPod touch. Is there any way I can transfer the music FROM the IPod back to my ITunes library?

Welcome to the discussion,
Make sure your newly installed computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there to do what you want, but not supported by Apple, so you'll have to do this on your own risk. See this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
