IPod has over 1000 songs on it. I can't get them into my library. Help?

Yeah, so my dad has bought a bunch of iPods blahblahblah. it was used, and so we checked it out, and we installed iTunes, and put in the serial code for the iPod, the songs register on the ipod, but the library remains empty, and I can't get the songs into the library. If you know how to do this, please tell me. <333
P.S. This is not my first iPod, but I'm pretty stuck on this.

You probably won't be able to get the songs off the iPod and onto the computer, especially if they were purchased from iTunes.
When songs are purchased from iTunes, they are permanently linked to that user's account, so they wouldn't work on yours no matter what.
Now, you still have a [used] ipod that you can put YOUR music on, but I doubt you'll be able to use the music that's on it.

  • CD songs load as Audio book tracks. How can I get them into  music library?

    Greetings.
    Strange. Some songs I've imported into iTunes from CDSs load into the Audiobooks folder. I can't drag them into the music folder. In one case, one song from one CD - but not any of the others - will only import as an audiobook. I can't even import it from my
    Can anyone explain why this is happening and how I can get the songs into the music library?
    Thanks.

    In iTunes 8:
    Select Track(s) > right click > get info
    Options tab > Media Kind
    if you want the track to appear in Music select Music or Audiobook if you want it in the Audiobook tab.
    It's also useful to set the Genre of audio books to something common (spoken, audiobook etc)

    Hi there lalita23,
    It sounds like you need to download these purchases to your library. Take a look at the article below for information on how to do this.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

  • All my burnt songs ahve gone. how can i get them back?

    I burnt nearly 1000 songs to my iTunes account to make space in house, but since last week they are no longer in my library. how can I get them back as I no longer have the cd's.

    First it would be helpful to get more info. Do you keep your music in the default location inside the iTunes folder? Do you use iTunes to keep it organized? Do you have any type of backup of either the iTunes Library files or your entire Music folder? Before reinstalling anything, check that your actual music files are still there. Go to your_homefolder/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music and I am pretty sure that all your files are still there. iTunes keeps its library file on the root level of the iTunes folder. It is either corrupted or you somehow created a new one which subsequently is empty. Hold down the option while you click on iTunes, then choose "existing library" and browse to your iTunes folder and select the iTunes Library file and see what happens. Report back if your iTunes Library file is corrupt.

  • I updated my iphone and everything transferred over but my contacts.  How can I get them back?

    I updated my iphone and most things like pictures, notes, calendar, transferred over, but I lost APPs and contacts.  How can I get them back?  Went to Verizon and they referred me to Apple.  They said they could see the contacts had been downloaded at some point but couldn't get them.

  • Updated ipod, wiped out songs, and now I can't get them back on to to it

    I updated my daughters ipod nano, not knowing that it would wipe out all her songs. Now we are trying to get them back on from her library and it only copies 1 song from her 79 and it does not give us the option to send them to it.
    Please Help !!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    When the iPod is connected to the computer and in iTunes go to edit-->preferences. Click the iPod tab. Make sure it is set to automatically update all songs and playlists. Click OK.
    If that doesn't work, try restoring the iPod...
    Restore the iPod
    Now try putting the songs on.
    Also, are the songs that are not transferring purchased (from the iTunes Music Store)?

  • All songs are gone.  Can I get them back?

    Hey everyone! O.K. My step-daughter was here for the summer, She got a nano for her b-day and I put all of my songs on her iPod nano. Then she went back to her Mom's and she pluged it into her friends computer(which had iTunes but no songs). A ballon poped up that asked if she wanted to update to new library and she ticked yes. So now, of course, all of her songs are gone. Does anyone know if we can get them back without using my computer(She's 4 hours away)? Please Help!

    If those songs originally on the iPod were overwritten with new songs, it's probably a lost cause.

  • I have an iphone 4 and I have just upgraded to iOS 5. I have lost my progress bar and song repeat function, how can I get them back?

    I have an iphone 4 and I have just upgraded to iOS 5. Unlike some people, I have not really had any problems but I am really annoyed with the new music feature. I have lost my progress bar abd song repeat function. Does anyone know how I can get them back?

    Glad to hear it all works for you.
    For future reference, if your iPhone misbehaves, always try a Reset. It's painless and often solves the problem.
       Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).
    Enjoy.
