Is it possible to import tunes from your IPOD to your Mac?

I thought I had a good back up copy of my music & I was wrong. I had to restore my MBP to factory so now my music only resides on my Ipod. Is it possible to import it back into my Itunes library from the Ipod?

I suppose I could cut/paste the whole link since you don't seem to have read it, but the pertinent part of the link starts at this point.
"Switch the iPod to manual update and enable disk use
The first thing you need to do is make sure have configured your iPod to enable disk use. To do this:
Open iTunes on your old computer.
Connect your iPod to your old computer and wait for it to appear in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source pane under the Devices section to display your iPod preferences in the main library window.
Click the Summary tab in the main iTunes window.
Click the Manually manage music button. Changing from automatic updating to manual puts a check mark by Enable disk use. A message says"
Continue with the rest of the instructions after this point.
As a suggestion for future posts, it's always better to start your own topic rather than disrupting someone else's topic. It's more courteous to the original poster, & it can become very confusing to try to troubleshoot with several people in the same thread who may have similar but actually unrelated issues. Thanks!

  • TRANSFERING TUNES FROM ANOTHER IPOD TO YOUR OWN IPOD

    HOW DO YOU TRANSFER TUNES FROM ANOTHER IPOD TO YOUR OWN IPOD?

    Unless the music was put on the iPod in Disk Mode -- a la This Link -- you are not supposed to.
    If you want the same music files on multiple iPods, you connect the iPods to the computer that has the songs on it.

  • I have just purchased a new Mac and want to sync my ipod - previous computer was PC - can I recover tunes from the ipod to the Mac?

    I have just purchased a new Mac and want to sync my ipod - previous computer was PC - can I recover tunes from the ipod to the Mac?

    1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPod but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPod with it.
    above covers purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • Is it possible to import songs from my iPod to my iTunes?

    I have songs from my old computer - before marriage. now that i'm married, i want to put some songs which i got from my home computer onto the new computer. how do i do that? i tried to search the topic but it will only give me solutions for songs from itunes to ipod, not the other way around. thanks!

    SeaPea,
    Type this into the search box: transfer songs from iPod to iTunes and click on the link that says "Using your iPod as a hard disk". Scroll to the bottom of that article and you'll see a title that says "Copying music from your iPod to your computer". That's what you need.

    This information is correct for Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents.
    It's also correct for Outlook if the Outlook Calendars where exported in the ics format.

  • I cannot transfer my tunes from my ipod to my mac

    I have had to reload my mac operating system, in so doing I have deleted all my tunes, although they are backed up on my Ipod touch.  When I tried to sync the two the message said that this was not possible due to the fact that their was another Library. This of course does not exist now. Can anybody help me get my tunes off my ipod and on to my macbook?

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • Is it possible to import photos from a disk and retain the same order?

    Is i possible to import photos from a disk and retain the same order they appear on the disk?  When I import them, the come out in random order.

    When first imported the photos will be sorted in the Event chronologically. On the disk they well be sorted by the Finder and that's usually alphanumerically by file name. So select the photos in the event and type Commnad+N.  That will create a new album at the left with the photos in it. Then go to the View ➙ Sort Photo menu and select "By Title".  That should give you the same order as you view the photos on the disk via the Finder.

  • When importing tunes from cd disc, songs from 1 albumn all appear as a differnet albumn, only happens from compilations, how can this be fixed?

    when importing tunes from cd disc, songs from 1 albumn all appear as a differnet albumn, only happens from compilations, how can this be fixed? I am using PC with windows 7.
    Thanks.

    Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist, though for compilations you should also set the part of a compilation flag to yes. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

  • How do you import music from your ipod to your itunes???

    I just got a new computer and I can't figure out how to get my music from my ipod to my new itunes, does anyone know how?

    Kid,
    These links will give you several methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you. There are many various third-party software programs that will offer a more robust process, or an easier GUI. Do a Google search for them if the links below leave you wanting…
    Don King Resurrected: Deleted files from hard drive (free user steps – music recovery only)
    MacMuse: Computer Crashed (free user steps – music recovery only)
    Copying music from iPod to computer (a primer on various methods and software)
    Copying Songs from Your iPod to a Mac or PC (resource for 3rd party software)
    iPodRip Software
    PodUtil Software
    Senuti (Mac OS X v10.3 or higher Recovery Utility)
    XPlay (Software For Music Recovery &/or Cross-Platform Functionality)
    XPlay Photo Browser (For recovering Photos)
    After recovering your song files, strongly consider developing a thorough backup strategy for just this type of situation (and many other potential disasters).
    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?
