Plz help ! how do i restore songs from another itunes library?

Okay, yesterday i charged my ipod in my mac laptop and this morning my brother pulled it out. then my ipod would turn on and the wire icon just kept appearing on the screen of my ipod. once i put it in my laptop my ipod froze and the only way any songs or any information would appear on it is if i synced it to my laptop itunes library . The problem with this is all my songs were from my cousins itunes library and they all got erased . I tried restoring it but they wont come back. I want my songs from my cousins ipod back on my ipod because it was over 400 songs. I now only have 60 songs. PLZ HELP GET THEM BACK ! im not very educated in this stuff so please provide step by step plans thnx

If the missing songs are neither on the laptop or the iPod they are gone.  You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library.  If you then sync it to another iTunes library the iPod will be erased and it contents replaced with what is in the other iTunes library.  However, one can manage music amont multible computers/libraries.  See:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers

    how can i transfer songs from another itunes other than mine

    Purchases made under 1 Apple ID are permanently associated with that Apple ID and CANNOT be transferred to another Apple ID.  So if you want to keep those songs, you'll need to always have access to your dad's account.

  • How do I transfer songs from one iTunes library to another?

    My husband and I each have our own iBook G4 and iPod mini's. I need to get songs from his itunes library (mostly downloaded from cd's) to mine so that I can put together a playlist for his surprise 50th birthday party. What's the easiest and quickest way of doing this?

    Hi, Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I think that the fastest way is:
    - connect the 2 iBooks using the Airport Extreme Card or the Ethernet
    - open finder then select network and select the remote computer
    - open iTunes, select your tracks and then drag them into the shared folder... that's it! You have just transfered your music to the other iBook and now you can create your playlist using iTunes.
    If you don't know how to create a private network or something else, post another message... bye!

  • How do I copy songs from one itunes library to another itunes library on the same computer?

    I want to share some songs in my iTunes library with my granddaughter's iTunes library, both of which are located on the same computer.  I managed to copy one of the songs through Finder to the location where the music resides, but it doesn't appear when I access her iTunes.  Can someone tell me an easy way to copy only certain songs from one iTunes library to another iTunes library on the same computer?

  • How do you Take songs from one iTunes library and put them on another(Mac)

    Well i have some songs that i don't really listen to anymore so i don't want them on my library or any of my ipods but i don't want to delete them because i bought them so i want to put them on another itunes library i created but i cant figure out how to take them out of my library and put them on the other one
    how do you do that?

    Open your other library, go to File>Add to library and navigate to the folder containing the files you want to add. Once they are in your new library delete them from the other library making sure that when you get the prompt to move them to trash say no. You should also back your purchases up to disc or to an external drive so you don't lose them of anything happens to your hard drive:

  • How do you move songs from the 'iTunes library to 'Jenni's iPod Selection'?

    I have 2 folders with songs in them: iTunes Library and Jenni's iPod Selection. Whenever I download music, they are automatically saved in the 'iTunes Library' folder. But when I hook up my iPod to download them into the iPod, the songs are downloaded from the 'Jenni's iPod Selection' folder. Most of the songs are in the iTunes Library folder... Can someone help me?

    Song that are imported from CD or downloaded into iTunes are always going to be in iTunes music folder. Can't change this.
    Any reason you don't want this and you have music stored in "Jenni's iPod Selection"?
    Why not add it all to the iTunes music folder and create a playlist called "Jenni's iPod Selection".

  • How can I remove songs from my itunes library without losing them...

    ... on my ipod. My hard drive is full and I was wondering if there was a way to only sync new music and delete old music from my library. Thanks.

    You simply have to change the update option of your iPod to "manually manage music and videos". You can get details here: Managing content manually on iPod
    One major word of caution. If you delete songs from your PC and have no back up other than the iPod you will risk losing them permanently if your iPod fails or you find you have to restore it to solve a problem. You should consider investing in an additional internal or external hard drive to store/back up your music. Alternatively at the very least back up songs you can't replace such as iTunes downloads to CD or DVD. Forum member Buegie has compiled a very extensive procedure for backing up your music which you'll find at this link: Backing up iTunes
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • How do I transfer songs from one ITunes library to another using an Ipad

    I recently synced music to my Ipad from someone else's laptop. Now I am wanting to transfer the music to my own computer , how do I do this?

    You can't without a third party app. If you didn't purchase the Music with your Apple ID or if the music was imported from CD's on your friends iTunes library, syncing will not work ....nor will transferring purchases.
    Look at this app .... TouchCopy

  • How can I delete songs from my iTunes Library & Computer

    I've read that you need to have your music within the iTunes media folder.
    My iTunes media folder is C:\Music
    My music is scattered about this folder in subfolders like C:\Music\MP3\Rock & C:\Music\Mp3\Reggae...etc yet it doesn't ask me if I'd like to send the track to the recycle bin when I delete something.
    I was hoping to use the song rating system to easily identify songs I want to remove from my computer but it won't work if it only deletes the song from my library.
    Thanks

    If iTunes is connected to files outside the designated iTunes Media folder then it won't offer to delete them when the tracks are removed from the library. See KillSelectedFiles for a tool that can do this.
    Alternatively you could consolidate your library so that all tracks are inside the media folder, but the downside with that is that you then have to hunt down the originals to delete. Or, instead of using iTunes own consolidate command, you could use my script ConsolidateByMoving.

  • How do you transfer songs from your itunes library to a usb key?

    i wish to transfer some of the songs i have in my itunes library to a usb key so that i can listen to those songs at work , i just bought a panasonic stereo

    In your iTunes-Library select the songs you want to transfer, then reveal them in Finder by any of these methods:
      from the File-menue select "Show in Finder", or press "cmd-shift-R", or Right-click the songs selected and choose "reveal in Finder" from the pop up menu.
    When the folder with the songs is revealed, just drag them to your USB key.
