PLEASE REPLY! HELP TRANSFERING SONGS

Well, I decided that I needed to make my main libarary at another computer, so I plugged in the ipod at the new computer and went through the steps. All the songs that I had bought from iTunes appeared, but none of the songs I had uploaded from CD's. How do i get those songs on my libary without deleting them from my iPod when updating? Please Reply, it's much appreciated.

Hi Rebecca,
If iTunes is displaying a message to you, asking if you would like to "Erase or Sync", please be sure to click on "Cancel" and not "Erase and Sync"; this will delete all of your other music off your iPod.
After you've done that, click on your iPod's name in the Source List, and under the "Summary" tab, tick the "Manually manage" option for your iPod. Click the “Apply” button in the bottom-right corner to save your changes.
Now onto the transferring.
There are a few different ways to copy your iPod's songs to your computer, but probably the most straightforward method is to download a third-party program that can copy the songs from your iPod to your computer.
I would suggest that you try YamiPod. It's free, and I've heard it recommended a lot.

I DESPERATLY NEED HELP TRANSFERING SONGS FROM IPOD TO ITUNES LIBRARY

hi my computer crashed downstairs and i need help moving all my songs from my ipod to my itunes library, on the other computer...will someone please help me?

Hello Markatkis,
Make sure your not connecting it to more than one PC. A new iPOd is set to "Auto Update" by default. With this setting all you do is plug the iPOd into the PC and iTUnes automaticly opens, loads all the songs it has listed in iTunes to the iPod, and after its done, ejects the iPOd.
If you connect it to another PC tho with iTUnes on it you usually get a promtp that in short says "iPOd library linked to another PC, do you want to link to this one" if you click yes, it wipes the iPOd clean and loads only whats on that PC.
Since your new to all of this a great place for you may be the "iPod 101" site. It will show you all the bacis ropes of using your iPOd, using iTUnes, and using them both together. http://www.apple.com/support/ipod101/

Help transferring songs from Ipod, can't download Itunes 7

I have an ipod mini, and manually update the songs on my imac G5. I did not realise I couldn't then transfer the songs back to my itunes library. I've seen a previous topic which mentions enabling disk use, can I do this on a mini? How? I tried to install Itunes 7 on my mac but couldn't because I need OSX 10.3.9 and I'm 10.3.5.
All the instructions are confusing me, I need something simple to explain how I can get my songs off my ipod without losing them all as can't bear the thought of starting all over again.
Please help me, thanks in advance.

If you update your iPod manually it's already enabled for disk use. There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available, you can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

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 at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
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.

Help transfering songs to new computer

I have I tunes on my old computer and want to transfer the songs using a travel drive. How do I do that? My old computer is windows 2000, no cd burner, and is not compatible with my I pod. It also has the old version of I tunes. Help please. Thanks

Choose Consolidate Library from iTunes on the old computer, copy the iTunes folder(not just iTunes Music) to the external drive or create a network between the computers, put that folder on the new computer, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, and point it to that library.

Help transferring songs from laptop to laptop

i just got a new laptop and i want to transfer all my songs from my other laptop. and when i plug in my ipod to my new computer it deletes them all. anyone know how i can switch all the songs?

"when i plug in my ipod to my new computer it deletes them all."
It appears that your iPod is set to update automatically and you keep pressing "Yes" when 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. All you are doing is linking your iPod to the blank iTunes. You can't sync or drag your music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. So first off, connect your iPod to the original laptop and let it put your songs back on, then change it to manual update: Managing Your Songs Manually
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.
Now there a re a few things you can do. One would be to connect your iPod to the new laptop (now that it's safe to do so) and copy the songs from it onto the hard drive There is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs but not playlists 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.

New Mac User - help transferring songs

Hi,
I have just made the switch from PC to Mac. Scary but happy. I have my old PC hard drive plugged into my new MacBook. I transferred the entire folder called My Music onto my new laptop.
I opened iTunes and it checked for music to import. And all of my 1700+ songs and videos seemed to have been moved over.
But how come the playlists aren't there? Did I do something wrong? And also, there is a strange Playlist on the right that was there before I added my old songs. Someone named Laura?? IS that just a default thingh? My laptop is brand new so who's music library do I have??
I'm so confused - I don't want to connect my iPod until I'm posititve that my songs and playlists will be there.
Thanks in advance for your advice.

If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and a different 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*. Pressing "Yes" 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.
You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys, (on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl 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. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box: Managing Your Songs Manually

Ever since the new update, my Ipod won't sync. Starts to sync but then goes back to connected eject before disconnecting. Still won't transfer songs even after being restored. Restored fine. But now I've got nothing on it. Please god help!

For awhile, since the newest update, I'd noticed when charging the ipod (classic) that it stopped going to the charging screen and would stay on the Connected: Eject before disconnecting' screen. But, y'know, didn't matter to me, it still charged... until today when I tried to add music. Tried it many times, reset it... STILL wouldn't transfer songs... It would 'say' it was syncing, but then suddenly stop and stay on the same Connect: please eject before disconnecting' page. I did a couple of times get a message about scanning it but, after restoring that never popped up again...
So, I do a system restore on it and ofcourse THAT works, but it STILL won't sync! So, now I've got an ipod with no music that won't sync and because it's all gone on there, I'm not sure how to back up my stuff (should I need to re-install iTunes... Though I doubt it'd work...)... So, yeah, I tried a different cable too, still no luck...
There has GOT to be some way to fix this!
Please somebody help me out! I so freaking appreciate it you have NO idea!

I think the problem is that the iPod got set to Manually manage music and videos. It needs to be set up for automatic syncing again. Just unchecking that Manually manage music and videos setting does not do it.
In iTunes 12, select the iPod in iTunes (using the device button), so that you see the iPod's "management" screen. In the sidebar (along left side of screen), there are two headings (Settings and On My Device). Under Settings, click on Music. To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box at the top for Sync Music. That turns ON automatic syncing for music. Below that, choose the option to sync Entire music library (assuming your music library fits completely on your iPod). Otherwise, you can choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres and make your selections below. Then click Apply.

PLEASE HELP, certain songs have sort of an unwanted "memory point"

Hey guys,
I've posted this question before but no one answered.
I am using Iphone 3G, with the latest software updates and all. I have many songs, some of them surprisingly have a memory point. By that I mean a certain point of time in the song, say at minute 2:00, say I want to go to minute 3 or 4 or anywhere in the song after 2:00 by fast forward or backward, the song will always go to point 2:00 and will play from there.
I erased all my songs, and synced again the problem still occurred. those music files don't have this problem when played in windows media player on my PC.
can anybody help PLEASE ?

Highlight the song in iTunes, Get Info, go to the Options tab and check that the start and end times are not ticked - if they are untick them.
Same goes to the poster who created ringtones - when you create them you set a start and end time on the track to make the smaller ringtone, but you need to go back to the original track and revert to the actual play time of the track.
Hope that sorts it for you.

Hi nikevans04,
I am sorry to hear that you lost your iPad Air 2. You will only see the last location if it has been off for less than 24 hours. Anything longer than that, it will not show up using the Find My feature. Take a look at the article below for more information.

Please help! songs are duplicated and lost!

can anyone help me? i'm having trouble with updating my songs into the library as the songs are all duplicated and many of them has exclamation marks at the front which says that the original source is missing and the songs therefore are lost! i use a PC, but hardly think that is the reason and now i have a library full of songs in at least three copies and don't know where it went wrong! i think i can't organise my folders properly but now i don't know how to fix it! please, someone help.

The error is caused becuase there was a prevous copy of that file at the old location and iTunes is looking for the same file on both locations. If one of the two files for that song work, simply delete the non-working one from your iTunes library and that should fix the problem.
As for the WMA format, iTunes- being an apple product- uses a different format (usually AAC). But as it is an apple product and it feels the need to be better than any microsoft version, iTunes will convert it for you if the file is an unprotected WMA file, protected WMA files cannot be converted by iTunes. First you must have Windows Media Player 9 or later installed on your pc. Then, to convert the file simply drag and drop it into you iTunes library and iTunes will do the rest.
Hope this helps.

Have you tried logging out of your account on the phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then logging back in and seeing if that 'refreshes' the account on it ?
If that doesn't work then you can contact iTunes support via this page (these are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
