Itunes from ipod

Can you get the songs you have on an ipod into your computer if you got it from another comp.? Cause my friend put some songs onto my ipod but if there is a way to get the itunes from your ipod to your itunes on comp. i don't know it

Hey there,
First, I would deleted the already existing iTunes library. Then I would copy everything from your iPod onto your new Mac.
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. You can also do a simple google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."
Here are some helpful articles.

  • HOW DO I GET MY SONGS BACK TO ITUNES FROM IPOD?

    I recently had an incident with my Macbook which lead me to erase and reinstall Leopard. Obviously everything whats erased including my itunes songs. All of those songs are still on my iPod, so how do i transfer them back into my iTunes? I have the same login info and account. Shouldnt it recognize my iPod and allow me to just drag the songs back in? Help is much needed... thank you to all!

    Alternatively open iTunes first and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box "Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods" and choose Ok. Then connect your iPod.
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. 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: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. iTunes will only give you the option to copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads etc) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too.

  • Update playlists in itunes from ipod

    Does anyone know how to update playlists in itunes from an ipod nano? I have been updating my ipod playlists (i.e. removing unwanted songs, duplicate songs, etc) but now I don't know how to copy these modified playlists back onto itunes. I have read about Yamipod and other programs, but I don't want to copy the actual files back onto my computer, just the playlists! Any suggestions?
      Windows XP  

    "I have been updating my ipod playlists (i.e. removing unwanted songs, duplicate songs, etc) but now I don't know how to copy these modified playlists back onto itunes."
    You must have been doing this through iTunes and with the iPod set to manual transfer since there is no way to modify playlist in the manner you describe directly on the iPod.
    You cannot transfer any playlist info back to iTunes from the iPod without using something such as Yamipod.
    Or you will have to modify the playlists manually in iTunes to match those on the iPod.

  • Cannot connect to itunes from ipod

    I have an oldish ipod 8gb 1.1.5 and never really used it properly.  Now I want to and when I try to connect to itunes from it, I get the message 'cannot connect to itunes store'.  Thought it might be easier through my PC, but the PC doesn't even recognise the ipod.  Please help - I am not very computer literate either, so that probably doesn't help!

    See:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    Also:
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    Then:

  • HT203180 Can I transfer itunes from ipod to computer?

    Does anyone know if I could transfer my itunes from my ipod to my computer?

    If they were purchased from iTunes then you should be able to copy them over to your computer's iTunes via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option (if you have iTunes 11 on your PC then Alt-F should get the File menu to appear).

  • Transferring itunes from ipod to the library

    Hi, my notebook recently crashed and I was forced to reinstall my Windows XP, which meant that I lost my entire library as well as the itunes application. I still have the library on my ipod. I was wondering whether somebody knows a way to transfer the files from my ipod to restore them in my itunes library on the notebook.

    You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not work with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    PodPlayer Windows Only
    There is a new function in iTunes 7 under File, "Transfer Purchases from iPod" which transfers iTMS purchases. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. If it is set to automatically update you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No* (or "Cancel" if you are using iTunes 7). Pressing "Yes" (or Erase and Sync in iTunes 7) will irretrievably remove all 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. In iTunes 7 Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
    You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing 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 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer.
    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 again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for quite a small outlay.

  • Problem transferring Itunes from iPod to New Dell,  iTunes and back to iPod

    Hello - yesterday I uploaded my iTunes library to new Dell Inspiron Windows Vista successfully by "Transferring Purchases from iPod" back into iTunes;
    I am unable to download the "New" library back to my iPod now. I am able to purchase from iTunes and see/listen via computer new iTunes songs, but not able to re-download library to iPod Nano. Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance!

    Since you have a Mac you can use a program called Senuti. It transfers all your material from your iPod to your computer. Download Senuti, then in the preferences, set your destination folder to the iTunes music folder. All the content on your iPod will be placed in there and then all you have to do is transfer that to your new iTunes library. Hope it works out.

  • Restoring music file in iTunes from iPod classic

    I have an iPod classic and had it connected to an HP laptop that was subsequently infected by a worm.  I still have all of the music, unaffected by the worm, on the iPod.  Can I easily upload files from my iPod to the empty itunes music library

    Using 3rd party software there is a way (if you search on this forum you'll find it).
    The point I was making about the back-up drive is that it's cheap (less than $100) to back up your entire iTunes library to an external drive just in case something like this happens.
    A couple years ago I spent a lot of time importing my entire CD collection into iTunes (over 1400 CDs/24,000 songs) and my friend asked me how I was backing these up. I replied that I wasn't since I had all the original CDs. He was thinking about the lost time to restore rather than the lost songs and I realized he was right. I bought a bigger hard drive than was in my computer and now my entire iTunes library is backed up on that drive.
    So, it's definitely worth it to buy an external drive for iTunes back up.

  • Transferring iTunes from iPod to new computer

    I have damaged my Apple PowerBook (containing my 'master' iTunes library) beyond repair and am unable to access any data on the drive.
    Having purchased a new MacBook I am attempting to move the library of music and images from my 5th Generation 30gb iPod onto the new computer.
    I have followed the instructions given here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
    Which suggests removing the iTunes folder from the new computer and replacing it with the iTunes folder from the iPod.
    But when I open up the iPod icon on my desktop there are only four folders: Calendars/Contacts/Notes/Photos.
    There is no iTunes folder?
    Can anyone help please.

  • Help importing music back to Itunes from Ipod

    My Windows 7 computer crashed and needed to re-install windows.  As a result lost all music loading into Itunes (most of it not purchased through Itunes).  I need to know how I can transfer the music from my Ipod back to Itunes.  In the past when connecting the Ipod it automatically starts syncing with Itunes so if I connect it now I assume all the files on the Ipod will be deleted since they are not on Itunes now.  Please help me retrieve all my content and import it back to Itunes.
