Trying to upload music to my itunes library from my ipod touch.

i have windows 7,when i plug in other devices i can see the things on that device and upload them to my itunes library.but when i plug in the touch it doesnt show up under my computer.its an older version of ipod touch.it shows up in the itunes library,but not under my windows librarys

What do you mean by other devices? To access the files on the iPod from you computer other than from syncing and transferring iTunes purchases from iPod to computer you need a third-party program. Some of those programs are discussed here:

    The ipod is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases ; Dile>Transfer Purchases

  • Can you restore an iTunes Library from an iPod Touch??

    I had a hard drive crash on my PC and lost my iTunes Library. Can I recreate it from my iPod Touch? My fear is that I'll connect my iPod and everything will be erased. I have not yet downloaded new iTunes s/w.

    Open iTunes first and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box "Prevent iPods and iPhones from syncing automatically" and choose Ok before connecting your device.
    iTunes will only give you the option to copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    Purchased applications can be downloaded over again, see this article for details: How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store
    For everything else (music from CDs etc.) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod Touch or iPhone. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer data (such as playcounts and ratings), movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well.
    A selection of iPod/iPhone to iTunes utilities:
    Senuti Mac Only (iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    Once you have recovered everything from the iPod and your iTunes library has been rebuilt it will be safe to sync again.
    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: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • How to restore Itunes library from stolen Ipod Touch to a new Ipod touch?

    My Ipod Touch 3th gen was stolen. I bought a new Ipod Touch 4th gen. How do I restore everything that is in Itunes library to it?
    Should I just give the new device the same name of the other one and sync?
    Will that transfer the apps I bought on the old one too?
    I also have mobile me account and it was updated 1 day before the robbery. Do I need to do anything about mobile Me?
    Thanks!

    You can restore from the backup of the old one.
    OR just sync whatever you like to the new one.
    You can sync as many ipods as you like to the same computer.

    Hi FWFFP,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below will explain how to get music onto your new computer.  I'd personally recommend the option of copying the iTunes library from your current computer to an external drive, because it creates a backup for you as well:

    how can i transfer my itunes library from my ipod to a new laptop

    3 things you need to transfer music from iPod to itunes: iPod, computer, iTunes.
    step 1 connect your ipod to your computer via the white USB cable.
    step 2 open My Computer, or just Computer from the start menu and look for the ipod drive. It should be in the (F:) drive. You will see the ipod logo in the listing of disk drives.
    step 3 Now you should have a new folder called ipod_control. Open that folder up and you should see the following: Calendar, Contacts, ipod_control, notes, photos, ect. If you are trying to save all of your music then the ipod_control folder is the only one you need to worry about.
    step 3 Open the ipod_control folder then open the music folder. Copy each one of those folders (should look similar to these: F00, F01 ...) onto your computer.
    step 3 Open itunes and insert the new folder you created on your computer's desktop into: library ---> Music
