New laptop..how do i get ipod music to music on itunes
hi,i just got a new laptop and i need to know if there is a way to get the music on your ipod that you havent bought from itunes but have got from a 3rd party onto your computer.
Apple doesn't have that functionality. You will need to use a third party ipod to pc copy utility like [copytrans|http://www.copytrans.net/iphone-ipod-touch-backup.php]. I'm sure there are many, I'm just familiar with that one.
Hope that helps!

I have all my music on my ipod but I can't get that music onto my new laptop , how do I do that?
At a guess you followed the process in HT1364 - iTunes for Windows: Moving your iTunes Media folder which would have moved the media folder to a new path of your choice. This process leaves the library database files back in the original location of <User's Music>\iTunes. Often people assume that all they need is now on the external drive and wipe the internal drive, or discard their old computer, before backing up the all important iTunes folder. If you have a backup of your user's profile folder from before the upgrade the iTunes library folder should be in there somewhere. Restore it to <User's Music> and your original library should pop back into existence. The external drive would need to have the same drive letter that it had previously.
A more effective way to relocate the library is to move the entire iTunes folder to the external drive, then hold down shift when starting iTunes and keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. You would then choose the file iTunes Library.itl in the iTunes folder on the external drive. If this is the way you moved the library before then that is how you should now reconnect to it. Changing the media folder in preferences doesn't change which .itl database file is opened, nor does double-clicking on an .itl file directly.
If you no longer have the original .itl file then you will have to build a new library and import the media to it. If you need to do this I would recommend you create a new library at F:\iTunes, then move your existing media folders inside F:\iTunes\iTunes Media before importing. This will avoid the creation of duplicates and make sure the library is in the correct shape going forwards.
If you have an iPod or iOS device my scripts ImportDevicePlaylists and SyncStats may well let you recover ratings, play counts & playlists from the device.
When you've fixed up your libray you should consider getting a second external drive to backup to.

my computer broke down and now i bought a new Mac, how can i get my music back from iTunes??
Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match , Apple does not keep a backup of your iTunes library. Even then it is not the library as it exists on your computer, but some version of the media, and only media files, not playlists. Even then not all media are definitely available since anything removed from the iTunes Store since you purchased it is not available for re-download.

In your case it sounds like you will have to obtain non iTunes purchases from their original source or a backup you may have made at some time in the past. -

The only supported method to get media onto an iDevice is via iTunes. Read the User's Guide it will describe how to do this in detail.
iCloud does not put media on the device, but using iTunes Match and iCloud it is possible to have access to all media that exists on your computer, but only when the device has Internet access. It will not load media onto the device.
Use of 3rd party tools to transfer files to the device is not supported. -

How do I get my music from iTunes Match to my older ipod that doesn't support iTunes Match
I have an old ipod ios 4.2 that doesn't support iTunes Match how do i get my music from the cloud to my computer library in order for me to put the music onto my older ipod for the car
Setup iTunes Match on your computer. Download the songs to your iTunes libary and then sync to your old iPod.

I just purchased a mac air and cannot figure out how to get my pictures from my toshiba windows to the air into iphoto and I also cannot get my library of music and apps to get to the mac air as well. Each time I try to synch it tells me it will repace my ipad and iphone with the blank library from the new air. How do I get my music, apps and photos to the air. I just subscribed to imatch and it charged me and only has 600 of my 2,000 songs!
You must move your photos and music from your Toshiba to your MBA directly, not using the iPhone. The Migration Assistant app on your Mac will help.

Restore the songs from a backup, or use these instructions to redownload them through the iCloud if doing so is free in your country.
