Move files from iPod to iTunes?
I lost all of my music on iTunes doing a Windows Re-install. I have retrieved "purchased" items, but can I get my huge library of music from my iPod?

Can't move files from iPod to iTunes
Hi all,
I have .mp3 files--completely free of any copyright restrictions--and itunes won't allow me to move them to my computer. I get the black 'do not enter' circle when I try to drag from iPod to a playlist on iTunes.
Can anyone help with this? Thanks,

How to move songs from ipod to itunes library?
i recently rebooted my laptop and saved my current itunes library to my hard drive. i installed itunes after the reboot bu cannot get my old library back into itunes. is there also a way of sending the songs from my ipod to itunes?
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 have caught up with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

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. 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
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. -
Is it possible to move songs from ipod to itunes?
i just bought a new macbook and proceeded to consolidate my files on itunes on my old pc. i then put that folder on an external drive which i plugged into my mac. unfortunately, it didn't seem to accept the .tmp files or the .xml file.
once i plugged it back into my pc, it showed me that i only had a few music files instead of them all.
so i ended up losing a lot of music.
most of my music is on my ipod...is there a way to get the music on my ipod to itunes without deleting anything?

New IPOD NANO (5th Generation) - Copying music files from IPOD to ITUNES
Help!
I managed to sync all of my music files from my ITUNES on my new IMAC Apple computer and I also managed to sync one album to my IPOD NANO from my old G4 Tower Apple computer's ITUNES. Now I would like to copy that one album from my IPOD NANO to my current ITUNES on my new IMAC Apple computer. Do I sync in the manual mode option?

Happy New Years!Now I would like to copy that one album from my IPOD NANO to my current ITUNES on my new IMAC Apple computer.
You can't use iTunes to transfer music from iPod to computer unless that music was purchased from the iTunes store.
If so, see: How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Try iPodDisk. This is a program designed to transfer music from iPod to computer.
Similar programs are Expod, Yamipod, Senuti and Music Rescue. -
How do I copy my playlists (not actual music files) from iPod to iTunes
Hello all - I have two hard drives. One for my music files and one for everything else. My "everything else" hard drive crashed over the weekend. This is also where I had iTunes installed. I have all of my actual music files on the other hard drive, so thats not the problem. However, my wife, son, and myself all have iPods - each with its own "playlist". Is there a way to copy the playlist from the iPods to iTunes. I had iTunes setup to automatically update my iPods with any changes to the playlist. Id hate to have to recreate the playlists from scratch.
Any suggestions?Thanks for the quick response, wow, I'm gonna need to take a few days off from work having to email myself 391 times! Appreciate the help

I want to move songs from ipod to itunes library
A while ago, early this year i think, my hard drive died and i had to get a new one and re-install everything. I had most of my music backed up on an external but not everything. I re-installed Itunes, but didn't bother to put the music i had backed up back in the library, because it was already on my ipod anyway. so since then, whenever i want to put more stuff on my ipod, i import it into itunes and "manually manage", like click and drag it to my ipod.
so obviously my ipod has all my music on it, my library is very small and only includes stuff i added since replacing teh hard drive. my external back up has a lot of music but not everything.
Now, problem is, there are some songs on my ipod that are not in the library OR the backup (and i don't have the original cd's). I want them in my library so i can burn a CD for someone. and i can't figure out how to get these songs into itunes. when i go to "sync" it says this will erase the contents of my ipod and replace it with what is in the library(which is practically nothing). this is the opposite of what i would like to happen. so ideally i would like the contents of my ipod to = the contents of my library; or at least, move those few songs that currently exist only on my ipod into the library. i feel like this should be so easy to do, what am i doing wrong? help me? sorry this was long.Get SharePod. it's a free download. Copy the downloaded file to your iPod, then run the program from your iPod. This will get all the music copied from your iPod (it will still be on the iPod) to your destination drive. From there, just drag the folder with all the music in it to the Music Window in iTunes. And Bob's yer uncle.

How do I move music from iPOD to iTunes music library
How do you move music that was once on your iTunes music library that is now ONLY on your iPOD back to the music library. I want to do this so that I can burn a CD. Maybe there is an easier way??? Please help!
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 or iPhone to a computer
The transfer of content 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 and comparisons of some of them here:

iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
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. -
How do you move songs from ipod to itunes?
I have songs on my ipod that are not in itunes (only the title appears in the library). How do I move the song so I can play it in itunes too? Thanks!
Did you move them rename them or anything on the PC? If so this will make ! marks beside the songs and you need to help iTUnes locate these files again.
If you deleted the files yourself, then you can copy songs off the ipod by first setting it to "Manual update" then using third party software like yamipod http://www.yamipod.com to copy songs off the ipod -
How can I move music from ipod to itunes library
My computer had a virus and I had to restore the whole system and now my itunes library has been wiped. Is there anyway I can swap my ipod music to the itunes library?
Pleas help!There's also a way to perform this without downloading anything. Open iTunes. Open your Preferences. Keep it open so iTunes detects no connection. Go to My Computer\Tools\Folder Options\View All Hidden Files. Then click "Ok". Double click on your iPod, and drag the Ipod_Music folder to your desktop. It'll copy. (If you are not in disk mode. If you don't know what diskmode is, don't worry about it.) Final step is to use the safely remove iPod option (the little green thing in your system tray) and then go to File\Add Folder\iPod_Music. Everything should now be in your iTunes, assuming you're using Windows, because you're in the Windows board.
