Transfering songs between albums on itunes

on my itunes library, I was preordering an album when somehow, one of my old albums re-downloaded itself, so now I have three versions of the album, but not all of the songs are in just one album. I want to be able to transfer one song on an album to a different album. How do I do this?

Perhaps my previous post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums has the solution you seek.

Going crazy trying to take songs and albums from itunes to my ipad

going crazy trying to take songs and albums from itunes to my ipad

See this -> iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad

Can see songs and albums in iTunes but can't play them

Recently upgraded to OS 10.8, itunes 11.1.2, and OS7 on ipad and iphone. I noticed only purchased songs were showing up now on OS7 devices and trying a variety of settings in tunes sync (sync all songs, sync only checked ones, etc) still wouldn't send over my privately owned (copied from my own CDs) songs.
Then in itunes on Mac, tried to play a song. The album icon and song list are all there, but no song plays when clicking.
My itunes folder is on an external drive. All song and albums are there when I look in finder window. The library is correctly addressed in itunes preferences. I consolidated the library.
In all cases, it looks like all songs are there in itunes, but nothing plays, and nothing syncs over to ipad or ipone. Any ideas?

Transferring songs between family computers

My wife and I each have an imac. I have transferred all of our cd's to my computer. Is there a simple way to copy those imported cd's to her computer as well? Can I copy my purchased songs to her imac? Will itunes import duplicates or is there a setting when importing?
Thanks for the help.
Chris

*Can I copy my purchased songs to her imac*
Yes, you can authorise up to five computers at any one time to play your purchases:

Transferring songs from ipod to itunes

my old computer with all of my songs are fried. I only have the songs on my ipod. Just got a new Macbook. How do i transfer songs from my ipod to a new itunes library without wiping it out?

Definitely a good idea to have a backup, but obviously that's not the case for you!
There are third-party software applications for transferring ipod music to your computer, and they cost about what three albums would on the iTunes store.
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

Transfering songs from iPod to iTunes

Hi, i just restored my computer and now I want to know how to put my songs from my iPod back on my computer.

There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod. This is just a selection.

YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
PodPlayer Windows Only
iPodAgent Windows Only
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive posted in this thread: iPod to iTunes
You may already be using the iPod in manual update mode. However when you connect, if you are getting 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, click *No*. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list. Change the update setting in Preferences>iPod to "manually manage songs and playlists" Managing Your Songs Manually
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 Shift + Ctrl. 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 3 and 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box.
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.

Transferring songs from PC to Itunes. HELP!

I put songs from PC files onto a flash drive and put them into the Itunes Library. It looked like it worked fine until I tried to click and drag them to a Playlist. For about half the songs, an exclaimation point appers next to the song and I get a message that says "This song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" When I click "Locate", it opens the main computer file window. At that point I'm lost. Is there an easier way to get these songs to work?? Why do some of them work fine??

There is a good general guide to switching from Windows to Mac at the following link that touches on moving music as well How to Move to a Mac - Get your stuff from your PC to your new Mac
There are also these guides:

Don't forget by the way if you have purchased any tracks from the iTunes Music Store to deauthorise your old PC if you are disposing of it so you don't use up your 5 allowances: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

Transferring songs from ipod to itunes on computer

I recently loaded songs from a CD onto my portable computer.
I then transferred these to my ipod.
I am unable to simply transfer these from my ipod onto my main computer.
Suggestions?

Because the computer to iPod transfer is, by design, one-way with the exception of being able to transfer your iTunes purchased content back to a computer off the iPod.
If you want to be able to move songs from one computer to another, then you may want to "Enable disk mode" on your iPod, which will allow the Nano to be used as a standard external drive. Now drag the songs into that part of the iPod (the disk side, rather than the music player side via iTunes). Then on your other computer, you can drag them off the disk mode side of the Nano into your iTunes library there. Much like you would do with a normal external hard drive or USB flash drive.

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 to a computer
The transfer of content from other 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:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. 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
One last thing, if your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7.3 or later installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. 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: iTunes 7.3 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that way you can continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed above your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
Whichever retrieval method 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. 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.

Transferring photos between albums

I want to transfer photos to other albums on my Phone without having multiple copies of the photo

Photos in albums transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync/transfer process are stored in the Photo Library. Photos in the albums below include a pointer to original photos stored in the Photo Library. Photos in the albums are not duplicated as in taking double the storage capacity.
The same applies to photos in the Camera Roll that are placed in a user created album. If you delete the original photo stored in the Camera Roll, the photo in the album is removed as well. Photos in albums include a pointer only to the original photos stored in the Camera Roll.

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/

How can I get song titles to appear in iTunes library when transferring songs from iPod to iTunes ?

My old computer crashed. Trying to recover music from iPod. Can transfer music, but not song titles. Titles appear in 4letter mpg formats. What am I doing wrong?

Provided the files were properly tagged then iTunes should pick up the data when the files are imported into the library. The main problem is usually any files in .wav format.
See also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. You seem to be most of the way there already but there are a couple of scripts mentioned near the end which you could use to recover ratings & playlists.

Is there an easier way to load songs and albums into itunes library?

I have MP3 files on my computer, is it possible to load songs to my library from the file location itself, rather than opening itunes, then adding it to the library by directing itunes to the folder?

Easier? No idea how File -> Add folder to library could be considered in any way "more difficult" than any of the following but...
Double click the songs.
Drag them to the Automatically add to iTunes folder inside the iTunes media folder.
Drag the top level folder or the entire drive to the iTunes icon.
If iTunes is open, drag the drive, top level folder, lower level folder or file(s) to the library icon in iTunes.

You mean you are trying to load his iPod to your iTunes.
Then you want to load your iTunes to your iPod.
Are these iTunes purchased songs?
If so, plug in his iPod to your iTunes then File -> Transfer purchases.

Transfering Songs On iPod to iTunes

My last pc crashed and I lost all my music. How do i put the music on my iPod onto my new pc's iTunes?

Hey there,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link after the Apple support document below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."
