IPod to Library

I KNOW someone has probably already posted this, but I'm too lazy to go digging around for it, so if you helped that person, you can just pass on the same advice to me.
SO
I need to know IF you can TRANSFER MUSIC FROM YOUR IPOD TO YOUR ITUNES LIBRARY!?
NOT from iTunes Library to iPod, that's easy.
BUT is it possible for it to go the other way around?
and if it is (which I'm dying to get an affirmative answer on this one) TELL ME HOW!!
Thank you for your cooperation.

I, too, am trying to figure out a safe way to transfer tunes from my son's iPod onto his computer. He had a "catastrophic" hard drive failure and lost everything. I have searched, but must not be inputting the correct terms. Can someone direct me to the previous instructions for transferring from the iPod back onto one's computer.
Thanks.
a harried mother!

and i tryed that with this song...and it says that " you have already purchased this song, would you like to buy it again?" but it wont let me get it again for free even tho i have bought it before...is there a way i can get it back with out having to pay??
HHHHHEEEELLLLPPPP!!!! PPPLLLEEEAAASSSEEE!!!!!!

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.

Hi at the moment my ipod is on manual sync mode. Is there any way of changing this to auto-sync without losing the music on my ipod or library? Possibly more importantly is there a way I can transfer the ratings from my ipod onto my i-tunes?

This is so I can delete music from my ipod knowing its rated on my i-tunes so I can then see later if I want to re-add it based on its rating

I have an iPOD mini library and now have a IPhone 4S. I updated my library and synced my phone to the library but can not figure out how to get the music library to download to my iphone

I have an iPod mini library which I have update. I now have an iPhone 4S which I have synced to the library using a MS XP computer. I can not figure out how to get the library to download to my iPhone?

Thanks, This caused me to go back and try again since the solution seemed so simple. What I did was when it started downloading, it started with the iphones apps to my computer. I did not want the apps downloaded on my computer so I stopped it. If I would have waited, the music was uploaded right after the apps were downloaded.

Have two ltunes libraries on my computer both using same account. how do i transfer library 1 on to library 2 and sync ipod with library 2 it already synced with library 1, the reason for both libraries is library 1 is not allowing access to itunes store.

help unable to access itunes store. was told by itunes store support to open another user account and adopting this as my user account, transferring my files.
I now have 2 libraries how do i transfer libraries and desync ipod with library 1 and then resync ipod with library 2
library 1 has over 7000 song on it most (6249) have been ripped. All i want to do is transfer what i have in my ipod on to my new user account and then delate old account

IPod touch library to new MacBook Pro

Previous computer was stolen so I do not have access to it. My iPod touch has over 1,000 songs, only some of which were purchased on iTunes. Does anyone know how I can get my ENTIRE iPod touch library into my new MacBook Pro iTunes library? Thanks for your suggestions.

Take a look at the post by Zevoneer:

"iPod Games Library" file in Finder - technical aspects?

Hi all,
After finally figuring out the workaround to purchasing games (Buy with 1-Click), I grabbed a couple tonight.
While adding the actual *.ipg files to my backup drive, I noticed that there is now a "iPod Games Library" file resident in the iTunes folder.
Does this file automatically get created upon adding a game to the Library?
Furthermore, if both the individual game files (.ipg) and this file are deleted, will iTunes recreate this?
No major trauma... just a thirst for knowledge.
Thanks!
Steve

I have been experiencing exactly the same problem. I have an extensive library and its getting tremendously frustrating.
I was wondering whether it was linked to the following:
I purchased one of the games - Texas Holdem' when I still owned a PC. I later upgraded to an Intel iMac. I transfered everything to the iMac and everything worked blissfully! A few months later I purchased Sudoku from the itunes store using the imac.
Everything worked just fine until recently when i now get the same message as Sue. Is it possible that the file purchased, downloaded and installed using a PC has somehow corrupted the files? Is there a fix?
Sue - if you have any insight or a solution please do share.
Thanks

Entire ipod and Library wiped

Im really sorry if this has been posted about before but I just cannot find it anywhere on the discussion boards.
Yesterday I purchased some items from the itunes store, I havent upgraded to the latest version of itunes as I had heard people having trouble with it, as I have in the past, I dont know if this makes a difference. Once the items that I had purchased had been uploaded into my library I connected my ipod to download the tracks onto it. Once I connected my ipod it started to upload the items but when it had finished, it had only uploaded the purchased items I had just bought and deleted the entire contents of my ipod and the same with my library, it has been totally wiped apart from the purchased items that I have just bought.
I would be eternally grateful if someone could help me out with retreiving all my 'lost' songs/tv/video etc, Im a bit of a technical numpty and have found that hitting it is just not working There is probably a simple way of sorting it out. Ive had my ipod for at least 6 years and as you can imagine would absolutely hate for everything to be deleted.
Thanks in advance.

I am still having no luck with this and its driving me round the bend. I still cant seem to get any of my library back onto my ipod plus when I try to sync my ipod all I keep getting is this message
"podcasts on the ipod cannot be synced because all of the podcasts selected for syncing no longer exist"
then nothing else happens. But as my ipod and library seem to have been wiped why is there a message coming up about podcasts as these arn't in my library nor on my ipod anymore?
This is so confusing!

Need help with my iPod music library

I made a back-up of my iPod music library by enabling disk use and copying the music folder from the iPod_Control folder. I recently had to restore (some minor problems when I installed iTunes 7 and updated my iPod), and I moved the songs from the backup music folder to my iPod. All of the files transfered, but my iPod doesn't show the new library. I'm assuming that I have to refresh the library, maybe by deleting the old library file somehow. Any advice? I had songs on my iPod that I no longer have acceess to due to my laptop dying, so simply resynching to my current iTunes library won't help, and I'd rather not look through all the crazy folders in my backup to find my missing tracks. Thanks!
iPod w/video Windows XP

The iPod usually won't view the songs properly unless iTunes puts them on there.
But, you have that folder, which is a good thing.
I would have iTunes update your iPod with those songs.
In iTunes, go to File-->Add folder to library. Add the iPod_Control folder to the library.
iTunes will import all of those songs into your iTunes library with the correct names and everything. Then you can update your iPod with iTunes and get all your music on there and recognized. Do not delete or move the folder once you add it to iTunes, as iTunes may be reading the music from it, and moving it may not allow you to play songs in your iTunes library.
I would restore your iPod before you put the music on there though, as the music you manually added to the iPod may be taking up space and iTunes won't be able to fill that space with music.

Invalid "iPod Games Library" creates damaged iTunes library

About once every other week when I fire up iTunes, I get this message:
The file "iPod Games Library" does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed this file to "iTunes Library (Damaged)".
All my media files are still on my hard drive, but I have to start from scratch with my library and all of my playlists. And with 160GB of files and dozens of playlists to rebuild, it's no small task.
Is there a way to resurrect my old library once it has been declared "damaged." Or is there some other means of recovering all of those playlists I spend so many hours putting together?
MacBook Pro 15" Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I have encountered the same issue and can't find a stable solution (other than storing 2 - 3 copies of the library file before shutting down).
I have added a new hard drive, imported 27K songs multiple times, exported libraries and still no luck.
I would certainly appreciate any other suggestions to help resolve this.
Thanks

IPod Games Library Errors

I am in desperate need of help. In the 1 month which I have owned my iPod, my music library has been deleted 4 times and I can not figure out the problem.
When the iTunes program is loading, I receive this message:The file "iPod Games Library.itl" does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has attempted to recover your iTunes library and rename this file to 'iTunes Library (Damaged).itl
I did purchase Texas Holdem and I originally thought that was the problem. I did delete the game and the problem happened again. So then I deleted the iTunes and all of its libraries, reloaded and started to put the music back on. It did it again.
Can someone point me in the right direction to correct this problem?
