Transferring non-purchased music from Ipod to ITunes Library

Can I transfer my music from my Ipod into my ITunes Library I just created on my new laptop? I've been successful at transferring the Purchased Music, but not the music I've downloaded from my CD's into my the ITunes library on my old computer.

Hi .. we do this all the time..if its downloaded music put your music into a folder.. then use the drop down "file" menu and import the folder...its really easy..but you also have to create a path for your music..this is done via "edit" drop down /preferences/advanced.. and tell it where your music folder is... other wise your music wont play... if you are using your own cd,s its even easier just put cd in.. tick selected songs.. and import cd

Importing non purchased music from iPod to iTunes.

We cannot access our original itunes so we have downloaded iTunes again on a new device. Only the music that we have purchased from iTunes is on there. When we connect our iPod the music is not accessible to sync all of the music together.

Transferring non-purchased music from iphone to itunes

I've got an iphone with a lot of music I originally transferred from my CDs onto itunes then onto my iphone. My laptop with all my itunes and music on was reently stolen and I don't want to go through the pain of reloading all my CDs. I have managed to transfer purchases from my old account (which I shut down as a result of the theft), but cannot work out how to transfer the CD music from the iphone to the new computer and itunes. It keeps telling me I'm going to wipe the iphone. Any help?

You'll have to use third party software, as Apple makes no provision to do so:

Non-purchased music from iPod to transfer to iMac

Is there any software that's recommended to transfer non-purchased items from your iPod to your iMac?

* I see the music in my itunes, but there is no folder! How can that be??*
The files are hidden. Did you read the link I posted above? It contains instructions for both Mac and Windows to unhide the files.\
*Side note: My ipod says "do not disconnect" could that have something to do with it?*
It has nothing to do with it, your iPod is either enabled for disk use, set to manual update or both. Setting an iPod to manual update enables disk use by default. When using an iPod in enabled for disk use the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

HT4914 transfer non itunes purchased music from Ipod to Itunes

I have an ipod nano 3rd generation with music content (CDs and Itune purchases) that was synced to an iTunes library on an old pc that crashed and was never recoverable.
I now have another pc with a new iTunes library and content different from that on the IPOD.
I would like to transfer the content of that old ipod to the library (in a nut shell I do not wish to take out all my cds and install them manually on the new PC to have their content available for iTunes.
I pod pages say you can only transfer music from an ipod to iTunes if that music was purchased from iTunes and not if it was from CDs.
Is there a way around this or do I really have to transfer my CDs one by one to the new Itunes
Not: I am willing to buy iTunes match if that helps...

Create a folder on your desktop. In iTunes select all the songs you want to transfer. Drag them from iTunes to the folder. Transfer the folder to the new computer. Select all the songs in the folder and drag them to the 'Music' section of iTunes.

Transferring Non-Purchased music from iPhone to computer.

My Windows computer recently crashed and the hard drive was wiped. I want to transfer all my music from my iPhone 4 to my new computer. I have tried a few of the third party software options and none seemed to work. Also, when I try to activate the "manually manage music and videos" option in the iPhone summary in iTunes, it does not let me unless I Erase and Sync to the new library. Please help..

This is not a feature of the iPhone and iTunes. The iPhone is NOT a backup device.
There are 3rd party utilities that can do what you want.

How can I move music from ipod to itunes library

My computer had a virus and I had to restore the whole system and now my itunes library has been wiped. Is there anyway I can swap my ipod music to the itunes library?
Pleas help!

There's also a way to perform this without downloading anything. Open iTunes. Open your Preferences. Keep it open so iTunes detects no connection. Go to My Computer\Tools\Folder Options\View All Hidden Files. Then click "Ok". Double click on your iPod, and drag the Ipod_Music folder to your desktop. It'll copy. (If you are not in disk mode. If you don't know what diskmode is, don't worry about it.) Final step is to use the safely remove iPod option (the little green thing in your system tray) and then go to File\Add Folder\iPod_Music. Everything should now be in your iTunes, assuming you're using Windows, because you're in the Windows board.

Transferring purchased music from iPod to iTunes

By accident, I deleted two albums from my hard drive. They were purchased from the iTunes store. I do have the music on my iPod though. I went through the process of making sure my computer was authorized, and then from the file menu, chose "Transfer purchases from "my iPod". It says it is syching, but I cannot find the file in iTunes, nor on my hard drive. Any suggestions?

How can I transfer music from iPod to iTunes?

All of the music on my iPod nano is in my ex-husband's iTunes on a Mac. Now have a Windows PC and want to transfer music from iPod to iTunes. Computer says 'Need to Format disk in Drive E'. Will this lose everything? Not sure what the best way is to do everything but haven't got any way of backing up my iPod at present. Thank you!

any itunes purchased music can be transferred from phone to pc via hitting the "transfer purchases" option when u right click on the phone under devices in itunes on the computer when it is plugged in. any non-itunes purchased music is stuck on the phone and cannot be transferred to the computer. u will have to load it onto the computer from the original source or from the old computer.
