Is there any way that I can transfer music I didn't purchase from my iPod to my computer or iTunes?
I took some songs off of my friends computer and put them onto my iPod. I want to make a cd but I don't know how to put the music onto my computer. If that's possible. I also didn't use iTunes to put the music on my iPod, So if there's any way I can get the music onto my computer, that'd be great.

" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod. -
Are there any apps that I can transfer music from ipod to itunes?
I lost my songs on itunes! Fortunantly, I have them all on my iPod touch. I been browsing around and there are programs that you have to pay for to transfer songs from ipod to computer/itunes. Does anyone know of free apps to do so, i really dont feel like paying for an app im gonna use once. Any help would be super! Thanks
Did you look at the programs mentioned here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0 to see if someone offers a trail version?
Music you bought in iTunes can be copied by using "transfer purchases" from the iTunes menu. -
My parents and my brother are using my apple id. They are using my cloud and my money. I want to create a new Apple ID. But if i do, is there anyway to transfer purchases such as music to my apple device which will have a different Apple ID than the one i purchased them with. Please help
Thank you :)No, all content that you download from the store is tied to the account that downloaded it, it can't be transferred to another account

i shifted from a windows to a mac.. I want to add songs to my ipod tpuch 4th gen.. but if i try to sync with itunes it says my songs will be replaced by the new songs.. Is there any way that i can have my previous data safe??
Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time. If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
Before doing anything else, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account. In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
iOS: How to back up
Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc. For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases. For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier. Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
If you do happen to lose any purchased content, you can always redownload it from the iTunes Store again at no cost via iCloud. See this article for information.

After clicking on an update for iTunes, the only change I noticed was the addition of about 9000 sound bytes, which was ridiculous and wasteful. I started to delete all the sound bytes, but that was going to be a huge chore. Instead, I moved the songs I had in my library to a playlist called "backup library." I then chose to "select all" under edit to highlight the rest of the 9000 soundbytes and delete these in one click. At first, this seemed to work. I still had the saved songs in my playlist, and the 9000 sound bytes went to the recycle bin. I then emptied the recycle bin to get rid of the sound bytes. When I checked iTunes again, there were no songs anywhere in the library or playlists. Is there any thing you can do to help restore all of these songs (and none of the sound bytes) to my IPOD Classic? Is my account saved with a back-up of everything I had saved in my iTunes library and playlists?
I have about 1500 songs in my IPOD Classic that are not affected by this error. Is there a way that I can transfer all of these songs back into my iTunes library?
I would appreciate any help with this problem.Hello bigali,
Your options are kinda limited. I would use this first:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and ...
Then check here for the non-purchased items:

You want to rebuild the library first, then sync the ipod.
Here is a good idea for when your done:

I was forced to switch from my original computer to a new one and majority of my iTunes were switched over but my audiobooks did not. Is there any way that I can retrieve them again. If I go to attempt to rebuy it, then it says thhat I technically already bought it but it won't download.
Audiobooks are not available for redownloading, so you need to transfer them from your old computer, or get them from your backup. How did you copy your iTunes contact from your old computer to our new one?

Is there any way that I can have songs in an iTunes Playlist without having the songs play in my regular music list. For instance: can I have a Playlist of Christmas songs without having them play in the routine shuffle of my music library? Thanks -Rog
Select the songs, press CTRL+I to Get Info, on the Options tab set Skip when shuffling to Yes.
If you want to the hide the songs from your main music view you could consider changing the media kind to audiobooks or podcasts if you don't mind the side effect of them showing up there instead.

So a little backstory i joined the army and get to go home and use the account where the majority of my music is very little, but now when i try transferring these songs to a new device some of them aren't authorized, and I don't want to go through this every time i get a new computer or ipod/iphone. Is there any way that i can change ownership of a song or other file so that a different account is the one to authorize its use?
No.

My 4th Gen iPod Nano isn't displaying a "Use iTunes to restore" message, but iTunes is displaying a restore message when I connect it. I have original music that I can't back up on my iPod. Is there any way that I can fix the iPod without restoring it?
It's not designed to work like this. When you sync, the iPod stores some information that basically says 'this iPod belongs to computer xyz'. Apple did this to prevent copyright issues (syncing someone else's music).
If you really want to do this, you'll have to at least tie both iTunes installations to the same account. Maybe have them sync with each other. -
Is there any way that I can get back my iPhoto? After having hard disk replaced (no backup) and the operating system has been updated to Lion (no disc) I am wondering if iPhoto can be reinstalled with my Leopard discs?
As Niel pointed out, yes. The disk probably will look like the MBP disk (4) in this screenshot;

Is there any way that I can put the 600 songs that are stored on my old PC onto my new PC? My iPod has the 600 songs on it but my iTunes will not let me add the songs onto the iTunes on the new computer.
Yes.
You should have copied everything from the old computer to the new one.

I am using itunes version11.1.3.8 and an iphone 4s version 7.0.4. Is there any way that I can make my own ringtones? I have always done so in the past (Android). I much prefer to hear my songs when someone calls. Thank you.
I have tried to follow all the steps correctly. I presently have on itunes 2 entries:
1. song.m4r with this highlighted on info screen but song location.m4a on summary screen. I have enetered "OK" several times.
2. song no suffix on info screen but song location .m4r.mp3 on summary screen
After syncing I then go a contact and edit it. Trying to change ringtone does not give me an option for the ringtone that I created only those that were preloaded. Is there something that I need to do here? The ringtone (at least one of them) does appear in my song list and I can play it. I don't know how to check for its properties on the iphone.
I do not have an itunes created entry on the sidebar for ringtones (I did create a playlist myself). -
Is there any way that you can delete APPS that come on the iPad 2 when you buy it? For example, the stock app, can you delete that or is it permanently on there?
You cannot delete the preinstalled apps on the iPad. You can check by tapping and holding down on the icon until it wiggles. If no X appears, you cannot delete it.
Move it to another screen or bury it in a folder called" Stuff I don't Want"
