Ipod songs

Is there a way to get music and movies off my ipod on to my computer, i deleted all my songs off my computer and i need them back

Yes, but this process is not supported by Apple, so you're on your own if things go sour.
You'll need to use some third-party software.
Try using something like iPodAgent.

Ipod songs don't show up on my work computer

I have 60gb ipod I bought last month. I put a bunch of music on it on my home computer, and wanted to add songs to it at work. When I connect the ipod to my work comp., it doesn't find any of the songs on there, despite my manual update setting. Any idea how to access the songs (they are on the ipod when i unplug it, so they're not gone)?
Both comps are using XP

Automatic syncing is controlled (set up by the user) using the iPod's Music tab. Select the iPod in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right (near the top), there is a row of "tabs" (they look like buttons in the latest iTunes), that starts with Summary. Click on Music there.
Make sure Sync Music is checked. Below that, you tell iTunes how you want your iPod synced with music. If your entire iTunes music library will fit on the iPod, you can select Entire music library. Then, any change to your library (such as purchasing new songs from the iTunes Store) should automatically sync to the iPod.
Otherwise, if the entire library will not fit or you don't want to fill up the iPod with only songs, you need to set up syncing based on Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Below that setting, set up the rest of the Music tab to tell iTunes what playlists, artists, albums, or genres to sync. Only the songs included in your selection will sync to the iPod, so if you purchased new songs, they will not sync to the iPod unless thay are included in the selection on the Music tab.
One easy way to set it up is to create a new playlist in iTunes, and call it something like "iPod songs." From your music library, add ALL the songs you want on the iPod to this playlist (including those new songs). On the iPod's Music tab, select this playlist for syncing. Going forward, any change you make to this playlist (adding or removing songs) will sync to the iPod automatically when it is connected and you tell it to Sync.
You can also set up the other tabs, such as Movies and Podcasts (and Apps for an iPod touch), to set up syncing for those other categories of media. Just make sure the total size of the selection is less than the capacity of the iPod (shown on the "bar" near the bottom).
All of the above has not changed for the latest version if iTunes. It works the same as before...

One laptop died. I have a new laptop now. How can I get my Ipod song list on the new laptop without downloading each c.d.?

Here goes. My iPod touch has all my songs on it. I have changed computers several times and iTunes has a library of similar but not as many songs as iPod. When I plug iPod in ans go to sync it says that iTunes library will replace iPod songs.

That really does not work since music is not included in the backup. See:

How do I put all my iPod songs into my iTunes library?

I got my iPod in October, and at the time I didn't own a computer. I used my dad's computer to put songs from my CDs onto my iPod.
Today I finally bought my own laptop, a Mac iBook. I'm trying to load all my iPod songs into my iTunes, but I can't figure out how.
Thanks for any help!

Hello Colleen,
The transfer of music is designed to be one way by default - from iTunes to iPod. However, there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod. This is just a selection but I would recommend Senuti, I have used it myself and it's very user friendly.
Senuti Mac Only
iPodRip Mac Only
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions

Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these and pick one you are happy with, they are generally quite straightforward.

You buy one and only one download.
As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.

HT1351 We had 2 computers: his itunes library on one, and mine on the other. We got rid of both of those and got a new computer. I put music on the new computer. My ipod songs are not on itunes. Will I erase them if I sync? How do I add new music?

Hey, I had the exact same issue. The way that Apple explains to do it is change your iPod into hardrive mode by messing with the preferences. While your iPod is hooked up to your old compuer, go into preferences and check the box saying enable disk use. Then your iPod will appear on the desktop and you can drag the song files into it. I don't know if you can transfer them all at once or not. Anyway, then you hook up the iPod into the new computer and drag the songs into iTunes. I had trouble doing this and it erased all my songs one time but I think it was an error on my part. Another way to do it is to send the song files through AIM. Have someone on the old computer and you on the new one and send them in large bunches to the new computer. Yet another way is to e-mail them to yourself and download them on to the new computer. The sure-fire way (and the way I finally succumbed to but it worked!) is to download the program iPodCopy on the new computer and follow the instructions to have your music quickly and easily copied. It does cost $17.00 dollars to download but I was willing to pay the price to have my music transferred hassle-free. Just type iPodCopy into google and it should come up. After months of trying and searching how to transfer my music to the new computer, this was my last resort and it was well worth it!
I hope my suggestions help you out in your iPod escapades!
Let me know if they work. Buenas Suerte.

My iPod songs are automatically wiped out again!! GRRR..

My iPod songs are gone. How can I have have them back without having to upload songs again?
This is the second time it happened. My iPod still had 60.9 MB space in it before my songs disappeared.
When I plugged my iPod into the PC today, it was charging. Then a few minutes later, the iPod (still plugged into the PC) started beeping. At first I don't know where the beep was coming from. When I finally realized it came from my iPod, it was too late to check what message it says on the screen. And when I open the iTunes, it prompts me to fill up the iPod Set-Up Assistant (which means that I have to start all over again transferring songs to my iPod? No way.). I can't find the songs in my iPod anymore. All of them have been wiped out now.
The weird thing is, even with all the songs wiped out, iTunes still says that I only have 60.9 MB of memory in my iPod. It seems that the songs are still there but won't just show up. Because they still occupy the memory of my iPod. My Notes are still in the device, I can also access the files stored in the External Memory.
The first time it happened, I did a Restore and had to download the songs from the Internet again. Now that I don't have the music files in my PC anymore, I don't want to do a Restore because I don't want to download songs again.
Please help me fix this.

1.If you are using some kind of file sharing program to put songs on your ipod,this might be the problem.I had a similar situation.If you delete some songs from your file-sharing program itunes wont be able to find the songs and wont play song(just on itunes),ir that the host of the song might've deleted the song himself from other to share.
2.Make sure your itunes is up-to date,or you ipod is having hardware issues(this might be the cause if you dont use a file-sharing program).You need to put you ipod on disk mode.For more info. go on support.
3.This step can maybe work,but i know it wont.just blow the usb cord just to make sure it is not dusty.
4.This might also be why your songs get wiped out.You probably need a new usb cord,but first try every way you can to fix this issue before buying a new usb cord.also depends how old your usb cord is.

How do I stop iTunes erasing my iPod songs?

I'm new to iPod, so I wasn't aware clearing iTunes library (in an effort to save disc space) of songs would also cause the iPod to update and erase it's contents of songs. Bang went 4 hours of recording. How do i stop this happening again? I set the preferences to only update the play lists but either I reset it and forgot or it went back to default update and erased the contents of the iPod. Would checking a manual update only solve this unfortunate problem? thanks.

Thanks for that Logan, but I have another question.
How do I access my iPod preferences in iTunes WITHOUT the iPod attached? As you know, you need to attach the iPod to have the iPod preference tab appear, which auto starts the erasing of iPod songs (Which I don't want)
Would sliding the "HOLD" switch on the top of the iPod mini stop any changes or update happening, giving you an opportunity to access the iTunes/iPod preferences and change them?
I don't want to find out by having another 4 GBs of songs erased! (I think I'll back them up to DVD)

Old ipod songs that wont play on itunes

I transferred some old ipod songs onto my itunes. When I try to play I get this message: "This computer is not authorized to play "song name" Would you like to authorize it"
When I enter my password it says: " This computer is already authorized" but it still wont play my songs? Can anyone help me?

Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". . If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences. For more detail see this tutorial: Managing Your Songs Manually
One thing to be aware of with manually updating is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod
For info: iPod 101
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit>Preferences>iPod>Music tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

The date last played on my iPod songs stays the same.

I don't know why, the Date Last Played on my iPod songs do not update. Not sure if the number of plays changes, but is there a reason for this? It's an iPod Nano, 5th gen. I think.
Thanks for any help.

You may try to apply the current iPod updater.

You can use iTunes to manually create a ringtone from a song or sound file that does not include DRM protection.
