Is it possible to upload songs from my iPod to my PC?

My father accidentally got rid of iTunes, and we are going to have to reinstall it. All the songs are still on my iPod, and I was wondering if there was a way to upload the songs from there onto my computer again. Otherwise I would have to upload all my cd's all over again, which would take quite awhile.
I didn't think it would be that big of a problem at first, because I thought all the music files were in a folder, but they seem only to be fragments of the songs... information about them, perhaps. They're related to iTunes, but I guess if I don't have iTunes, those 'fragments' will do me no good.
Anyways, I would appreciate an answer... I am starting to freak out about this.
Thank you

Try this.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), there's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.

Is it possible to upload songs from your iPhone to iTunes?

Is it possible to upload songs from your iPhone to iTunes?
I have music on my phone which was previsouly on my itunes but I lost everything on my computer, is there anyway to get my music back onto iTunes? I did not purchase this music from iTunes.

The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases - File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
The iphone is not a storage/backuip device.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a abckup copy of your computer for this very occasion. Have you failed to do this?
If so, then you may be able to purchase a third party program ( not supported by Apple) to get the songs.

Is it possible to transer songs from my ipod to my new laptop? even though I had home share on the last one, it blue screened and won't switch on, and I don't want to lose my music as I only have 1/2 of it backed up on disc.

Purchased songs can only be downloaded once without having to purchase them again.
There are some suggestions in this link about how to attempt to recover lost songs using some 3rd party software.

Is it possible to import songs from your ipod to itunes?

Somehow, my itunes got screwed up on my pc. So, I am missing about 100 songs. The songs are all on my ipod because I haven't synced them in a while. Is it possible to import the songs from my ipod into itunes? If so, how do I do it?
To make matters more complicated, my itunes now says that the ipod is synced to a different itunes, so if I sync them up, the songs on the ipod will be replaced by the songs on itunes (causing me to lose those 100 songs). Can anyone please help me?

If you're using iTunes 7, you can copy music that you purchased from the iTunes Store back to iTunes directly. You will have to prevent automatic synchronization. While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift and Ctrl keys in Windows. This should stop the iPod from auto synching with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
If you're not using iTunes 7 or want to copy other tracks, the easiest way will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:

Is it Possible to Load Songs from an iPod Back to iTunes?

For some reason, all the music files from my iTunes library were erased from my computer and I didn't back them up. All the songs in my library are loaded in my iPod, is there some way I can load them back into my iPod?

A.C.,
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?

IS IT POSSIBLE TO TRANSFER SONGS FROM ONE IPOD TO ANOTHER?

I have an ipod full of songs and want to transfer those songs to a different Ipod. (My computer is broken so I cannot simply connect the second ipod to my computer) If I can get my hands on a new computer, is it possible to transfer the contents of my first ipod to the computer, then transfer those songs onto the second ipod?
Thanks.

With the exception of songs purchased from the iTunes Store (which can be transferred from an iPod using iTunes), you have to use a third party utility. I use this one called Music Liberator

but there are many others.
Once you get the songs off the iPod and into the new computer's iTunes, syncing the other iPod will complete the transfer.

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.

My new comp won't upload my songs from my iPod

Does anyone know how to upload songs from an iPod? My old comp crashed and now I only have the songs on my iPod. I have a new comp with iTunes installed, but have no idea how to access them. Can someone please help?

What account are you talking about?
An iTunes account or a computer account?
You can continue to use the AOL account./ Just change it to a regular account.
See -> http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/email/
I would highly recommend you do not create another iTunes account if you have any purchased music on this old account.
You cannot transfer music between accounts.
You need to authorize the new computer to play that music.

Removing songs from your iPod?

I've heard of software that allows you to remove songs from your iPod. anybody know if this exists? i went to the macstore and they sold me on Tune Transfer which allows you to upload songs from an ipod to my mac but the songs remain on the iPod. thanks

Kristin,
sounds like the software transfers a copy of the song to your computer. Check your hard drive for the music (most likely in your iTunes Music folder) and if your music is in there, you can then delete the songs from your iPod using iTunes.
