Is there a way of getting music stored on iPod into iTunes library?

Recently my harddrive broke completely and there's no way of getting back my files. I have some files saved but not all!
My iTunes library has also gone missing due to the fact my computer had to be wiped. The only files I have are the songs currently on my iPod which was last synced about 4 months ago.
I'd like to reconnect my iPod so that the files on there can be restored on my iTunes account and I can continue using them as normal.
I'd also like to sync my new iPhone to the same iTunes library (if it works), but this has a different Apple account. This part is not as important as trying to get my music back. I had an extensive library and I'm dying to put new additions on, but I need my previous music back first!
If there is anything I can do, please let me know. Thank you so much!

Is there a way to get music from my ipod to my itunes library

Hello. I have a problem with my music library. My computer hardrive crashed and i had lost all of my music and other information in iTunes. All i have left is the music on my iPod... But is there a way to get the music from off my iPod and back on my new music library? Plz help. Ty

Check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer.
There's also another method. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
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 there a way to put music from an ipod into the music library?

I want to put music from an ipod into the music library. Is there a way of doing it because i dont know how?

The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases. File>Transfer Purchases
Everything on your ipod should also be on your computer and included in your regular backup of your computer.

Is there a way to get music from an iPod to a computer?

Most of my music is on my home computer, and everything is fine. I bought a laptop, and installed the software on it, as well. I went to see a relative, and she put a bunch of songs on my iPod from her computer. That is all fine, and dandy, but they are very disorganized. I would like to sort them out, under a folder with her name on it. Furthermore, she swears up and down, that it can work as a portable hard drive, and I should be able to import the music she put on there, onto my computer.
I can see the music she put on there, in iTunes, under my iPod icon, but it won't let me do anything to it, other than rename the songs. It won't let me drag the files into a playlist, or anything.
Under the iPod settings, i have it set to manually update, which should allow me to select which songs I want to import, but then it 'grays out' the "enable disk use" checkbox underneath. When I go to set it back to automatic, it tells me that it will replace everything on my iPod with whatever I have in my library---Essentially wiping out all of the songs she put on there.
I just want to be able to have my iPod, laptop, and Computer synced. What can I do?

That is the way the iTunes/iPod system is supposed to
work. We suspect that it was developed to prevent
illegal 'sharing' of copyrighted music across PCs and
separate users.
You may not get many (if any) other responses to this
question. If you are asking us for
assistance in how to share copyrighted
music, please understand that we cannot help.
Unfortunately, the Apple Discussions ‘Terms
of Use’ for these Forums explicitly prohibit
anyone here from encouraging, or directly
facilitating the 'sharing’ of copyrighted music as
you describe.
The music industry and Apple considers it 'stealing'
and we or you can get our posts locked, removed, or
be given a temporary or permanent vacation. Sorry.
yes, that is what I originally heard, and understood. I tried to tell her that, but she swears it can be done. We are both into music production, and much of the music she put on there is her own. I tried to get some of MY stuff into her computer, but was unable to. Even non-copyrighted material cannot be shared. Not even family photos?
Let's assume that I cannot get the music, (even her original stuff that, obviously, I have permissions for), from my iPod, inot either of my computers. Is there even a way to organize the files she put in there? I would really like to put it into a separate folder, or playlist. Surely, there must be a way to organize the music, without exporting it?

Is there a way to get music from your iPod onto the computer?

I recieved most of the music that is currently on my iPod from my cousin, but if i want to add some of MY music to the iPod then i have to erase all of her music off of it! Is there a way to save the music that is already on there and then put it back on the iPod once it has been erased?

First of all try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
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), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is 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.
There is also CopyPod. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free.
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.

Is there a way to get music onto my ipod from a CD that I lost after I put the songs onto iTunes, but then had to completely erase everyting on my computer?

Yeah, so this is what happened. I had an old iPod nano, and then my computer crashed and deleted eveything. Then, I got a new iPod, and I want to put songs that I had on a CD that I already had on iTunes before my computer crashed onto my new iPod, but I lost the CD. Is there a way for me to find those songs??? Kinda impossible, but is there genius out there that can help me out? Thanks.

The songs will only be where you put them.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Your music should be there.

HT201272 is there a way to get music on my ipod to my i tunes account?

I had my music in itunes lost but my ipod has all the music is ther a way to transfer my music back from ipod to my itunes account ?

1. if you have a backup that will be very easy
2. if not, try this:
Download past purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
3. contact Apple iTunes Store to try and restore all your past purchases, remember everything is "one-time" download only, there is no guarantee that you can restore everything...make it a habit to backup everything
good luck!

Is there any way to get music that wasn't from iTunes in/off of the iCloud?

I backed up everything on my 4th gen iPod touch to the iCloud and am transferring it all over to the 5th gen iPod touch I just got but not all the apps and music that were on the old iPod are switching over. Is there a way to correct this? I have a few hundred songs that aren't coming over and they aren't on iTunes.

Music is not included in the backup because it is assumed to be in your iTunes library. If you have music on your old iPod that was not purchased from the iTunes store, and is not in your iTunes library, the only way to transfer it would be to purchase and use 3rd party software such as Touch Copy or PhoneView (Mac only) to extract it to your PC. Once extracted, it can be imported to your iTunes library and synced to your new iPod.
Otherwise you would have to re-import the music to iTunes from the original source CDs.

Is there any way to get an older version of the iTunes Library .xml backup file?

I turned my computer on today and my entire library was gone! (Files, thankfully, still available) I tried to restore from the .xml file, but the file was already updated with the new/empty iTunes before I could restore my original one. Is there anyway to get an older version of that .xml file back? PLEASE HELP!

Not from the store no, only the current version is available there - the only way is if you yourself have a previous version of it on, for example, a backup

Is there any way to get music content back after it disappears?

Is there any way to get music content on iPod Touch back after it disappears?

What do you mean by "disappeared?" If you had synced your iPod touch with your computer, iTunes automatically makes a backup of your iPod so you could try restoring from that. The music would then also be in your iTunes Music Library on your computer so you can sync it back to your iPod.

Is there a way to import music from my ipod to the computer?

is there a way to import music from my ipod to the camputer?
I have music from all over the world and i want to import all of it to my computer..

Sorry for insulting Apple. This whole thing has me frustrated. You would think that this is an easy thing...which it is after downloading the third party software and all.
I am just a bit edgy after talking to 3 customer support folks for almost 2 hours, who I could barely understand and then having them just tell me to download the files again. 3500+ songs...jumping out the window was looking more pleasant (jk). Now I have to explain to the wife why the phone is busted in-two...lol.
Anyway, I was able to get hooked up with some software and it seems to be downloading fine. I am using iPodCopy. Thanks for the nudge in the right direction and putting up with a bit of attitude. I am sure they have their reasons for not making this an easier operation.

Is there a way of copying music from the ipod

my pc got wiped so i need a way of copying music from my ipod to itunes is there a way?

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iRepo Mac and Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.
