My iTunes crashed and no longer has play counts; how do I transfer playcounts from my iPod Classic back into iTunes11?

About a week ago, my harddrive crashed and we finally ran a scan and got rid of the corrupted data. Unfortunately, the corrupted data happened to be my iTunes library. Everything was wiped--my iCloud stuff, CDs I'd downloaded, mp3s I'd gotten in music swaps with friends, everything. I managed to recover all the stuff from the Cloud but all my playcounts and other data was missing. I have all the information still on my iPod classic but I can't figure out how to transfer it back into iTunes, as I really would like to keep my playcounts and playlists intact.
Any advice?

  • How do you transfer songs from my iPod Classic to my new computer? The only songs that transfer are those that I purchased on iTunes. Is there a 3rd party website or something?

    I am trying to transfer 3000 songs from my iPod Classic to my new computer. The only songs that transfer are those that I have purchased on iTunes (242 songs). All of the music from my CD collection that I have on my iPod Classic will not transfer. What (if any) is the best 3rd party website that will assist?

  • How do I transfer music from my iPod to my computer which was not purchased on iTunes?

    I just downloaded iTunes Match to my MacBook Air. Now, how do I transfer music from my iPod to my Mac which I did not purchase on iTunes? When I downloaded iTunes Match, it did its thing, but none of the music that I burned from CDs showed up on my Mac. Is there something else I should do? (I still have my old computer with my entire iTunes library on it, but I haven't used in in a while. Should I do something with that, as well?)
    Thanks!

    I'm actually currently serving in the Peace Corps in the Eastern European country of the Republic of Georgia, so I'm not always able to get back to posts as quickly as I would like. So I'm glad you were able to get it sorted out by searching the support communities. But as I tell my students (who are learning English as a second language) pronouncing and using words correctly is important to them being understood by native English speakers. The same goes for technology terms. If the correct terms aren't used (for example "import" and "rip") then misunderstandings can occur and it can take longer to get your problem solved.

  • How do you transfer content from an iPod touch to iTunes?

       How do you transfer content from an ipod touch to itunes without buying another software?

    You can't.  Mobile devices are not set up to transfer most items to a computer and if that's what you want to do (with the noted exception) then you have to pay for it.
    Some of the information below has subsequently been summarized and duplicated by turingtest2 in the document: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • How do I transfer songs from my iPod to iTunes?

    Okay. At this point I am SO frustrated with Apple. I just hate the company so much right now. Such a simple simple question. How do I transfer songs from my iPod Nano (1st Gen) to iTunes. There is nothing about it in any manual. Apple has no way for you to contact them via email. And it appears the only way to get any answers is to sign up for this ridulous apple account and then sign up again for a posting id or whatever. Anyways. I would simply like to know, how do I transfer the songs from my iPod to my iTunes. Thank you.

    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.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    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 from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    SharePod is also freeware.
    What's so hard about asking for help here? It's one if the best support forums on the net.

  • How do i copy music from my ipod classic to itunes on my macbook pro?

    I have a lot of music on my ipod classic from an old computer I no longer have.  How do I copy this to my itunes library on my macbook pro so that when i synch my ipod and my computer, the music already on the computer won't be wiped out and replaced with what's in my itunes library on my macbook?  I was thinking of burning a cd from my ipod classic, then copying the cd to my computer itunes, then synching.  Is there an easier way?

  • How do i transfer music from one ipod to another using itunes

    how do i transfer music from one ipod to another using itunes

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    There is more than one way, but to get it all on all devices, connect the first device to iTunes and choose to transfer the music from the device from the file menu. Once everything is in iTunes connect the second device, select the device in the device list, navigate to the music tab and check the content you wish to sync, click apply/sync.

  • How can I transfer podcasts from my iPod to my iTunes library?

    I have what I believe are called "phantom podcasts" - there are 1022 podcasts on my iPod from KEXP Song of the Day. For some reason, these 1022 podcasts do not show up anywhere in my iTunes library, nor on my computer. I'd like to transfer them from my iPod to my MacBook so I can listen to them and delete whichever ones I dislike. This is taking up way too much space on my iPod.
    I've tried creating a Smart Playlist per an online suggestion to no avail. They're nowhere to be found, except on my iPod.
    Thanks.

    Hello Lo-fiChick,
    The KEXP Song of the Day podcast can be located and subscribed to in iTunes on your computer via the following link. Once subscribed, the podcasts can be downloaded to your computer and removed from your iPod.
    KEXP Song of the Day
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/kexp-song-of-the-day/id121393815?mt=2
    To ease the process of downloading such a large number of episodes, you can adjust the podcast settings once subscribed to 'Keep: All Episodes' and 'Download: All Episodes.'
