HOW DO I GET MY SONGS BACK ON MY IPOD???

I accidentally removed my 4th Gen photo ipod from my mac without properly unmounting it, and it went into "disk mode". It would n't allow me to get out of this mode, and itunes nor the finder would see the ipod when it was connected.
Oddly enuff, prosoft engineering's Data Rescue II was able to see it.
I used data rescue II to back up all the data on it. I was successful in this. then i restored the iPod to factory settings (erased it).
here's the problem: data rescue created 2 folders on the volume i recovered to:
A "CBR" folder, which contains and "Audio" folder, "Documents" folder, "Images" folder, etc... The Audio folder has more folders in it, which are titled by the type of files they contain. For instance, AIFF, MP3, m4a, WAV, respectively. All my music is within these files according to their file type. The names of teh files are file00001.aif or .mp3 or whatever, but when imported into itunes, the proper song title appears... this is good.
the second folder is titled "iPod", and it contains, the generally hidden files DesktopDB, DesktopDF, Finder, ReadMe, and System.
My question, is there a way to use these folders (CBR and iPod) to get my songs back into my ipod (with playlists)? I realize that I can import the folders into iTunes and everything would be good, but I have 2 macs and I manually manage playlists and songs, so the source of the songs that were on my ipod came from 1 mac or the other. The 2 macs each have their own playlists that I don't want to destroy... I need to simply get the backed up songs back onto the ipod, without having to go thru iTunes. That woudl be ideal.
Talk back to me, if you can.
Thanks

Lost all my music on my iPod touch. Now I can't reload it from my computer because it states that it is in the cloud. How do I get my music back on my iPod touch so I can listen when I'm out of wifi range.

I was trying to fix the "ghost" songs on my ipod touch 4th generation today. Somehow I ended up deleting all my songs from the touch. Now when I try to get them back from my computer it states that they have to be downloaded from the icloud first. Don't know how to do this or why I can't just drag and drop the music from the computer back onto my ipod touch.

Why can't i get overdrive audio books onto my ipod

why can't i get overdrive audio books onto my ipod

Some find the mobile device transfer confusing. To load or delete a WMA or MP3 book onto an Apple mobile device do the following.
1. For Windows versions, you must first do a security update of Windows Media Player (even though you won't be using it) using Internet Explorer at http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite .
2. Open iTunes, plug the mobile device into the computer USB port and open the Overdrive Media Console.
3. Highlight the mobile device in the left hand menu of iTunes and insure the "Manually manage music and videos" box is checked in the Summary Tab.
4. Highlight the book you want to transfer in the Overdrive Media Console and click the Transfer Button. A window opens permitting you to click the boxes for parts of the book you wish to transfer.
5. After the book has been transfered, when you click the disclosure triangle (arrow) to the left of the iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes, MP3 books will show up under the Music subsection and WMA books will show up in the Books subsection. Once the mobile device is disconnected from iTunes, MP3 books will show up in the Songs list of the mobile device and WMA books will show up in the Books list.
6. To remove a book from a mobile device plug the device into the USB port and open iTunes. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes so that you can see the device’s subcontents. For an MP3 book select the Music subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete. For a WMA book, select the Book subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.

Not sure if this is a iCloud or Wi-fi issue. Why can't I put my new playlists onto my iPod Touch?

Hello!
A month or so ago, I bought a new MacBook Pro for myself, an iMac for the wife, a 2TB TimeCapsule iCloud and Music Match. The whole 9 yards. Since then, I have't been able to put new playlists onto my iPod Touch. When I plug it in and switch to the "Music" tab for the iPod, I get " iTunes Match is On. Brian's Newest iPod can access music in iCloud. Songs can be downloaded and played via Wi-Fi or a cellular network."
Well, no I can't. The reason I know this is because yesterday, I was given two brand new music CDs, which I uploaded onto the MacBook Pro. Made a new "AC/DC" playlist and everthing. And now I can't get this playlist or any new playlist onto my Pod. Looking for "AC/DC" under the "Artist" tab or "Back in Black" on my iPod does't work either.
This is Gawd-Awful annoying. I don't WANT to play everything from Wi-Fi or cellular network. (Don't need/want an iPhone-that shouldn't count again me, should it?) The whole point of buying a 32 GB iPod was because I am usually not on a network of any type during most of my day. How do I get the stinkin' music onto it?
Maybe I am missing the point of both iCloud and Music Match. I thought the second allowed me to download better versions of all the songs I have on my computers. (Was that payment a one-time thing or will I have to pony up each year, btw?) And iCloud meant that I could listen to any and all of my songs on anything with an Apple Logo on it via wi-fi. But is that the only way?
Okay, done ranting now.
Thanks.
Brian

Nope, though it did allow me to get some missing songs back onto my iPod. That's something. But neither "Back in Black" or "Dirty Deeds" show up anywhere on the Touch. Could this be because iTunes has no deal with AC/DC?
Quite frankly, at this point, I'd really rather not have the "ease of use" of iCloud attached to the iPod. It's not like I change my playlists that much. It would just be nice to get what I want onto my MP3 player. Not sure which one it was: iCloud, Music Match or the Air Port but the only real result of all the $ I plunked down is seeing all of my Wife's 231 Christmas songs popping up on my laptop. Really don't want them here. She SURE AS **** is sick of seeing all of my stuff on her computer.
Thanks again.

I have tried importing / exporting my playlist from itunes; dragging songs from itunes to my ipod icon in the right corner; nothing is working. I want to put songs back on my ipod touch version 6.1.5 from itunes version 11.1.3.8; any one have any ideas

This is very fustrating I have tried a few different things I have seen on-line and nothing is working. My itunes is version 11.1.3.8 and my ipod touch is ios version 6.1.5. Since last Christmas I have a playlist called Christmas songs and I would like to move the songs back onto my ipod. Before I could drag the songs from under the songs list over to the right and a list including my ipod would show. It still does but when I do it now the songs do not show up in my ipod. I would appreciate any ideas to get this to work again.

Getting My Pictures Back Onto My iPod Touch 4th Generation

I recently sent my iPod Touch 4th gen. to Apple to get repaired. and before I sent it I backed it up with iTunes, 2 times to be sure, and then I reset my iPod. I just got it back today, and I got everything back but my photos. Is there any way I can get them back? I have very important pictures that I can't get back if I don't get the pictures back on my iPod. If anyone can do anything to help me I'd really appreciate it.

How did the photos get on the iPod?
- If they were taken by are saved to the iPod then they would be in the Camera Roll album. That Album is included in both the iCloud backup and iPod backup that iTunes makes. Restoring from the backup will restore those photo if they were in the backup. IfTry restoring again if necessary
- If the photos were synced to the iPod they are not in either iCloud or iTunes backup and yo will have to get the photos from where you obtained them before and then resync them to the iPod.

Why can't I get my songs from the computer in our media player library, (ripped from a c.d., ) to sync to the iPod?

Why can't I transfer my music on my computer, media player library, onto the iPod touch? it won't let me sync the songs.??

One thing to consider is this ...what are the files formatted in ? If you ripped your CD's via Windows Media Player default settings , they're in 128k Windows Media Audio files . These files must be converted by iTunes before being allowed into the library .

Why can't I get my songs from iTunes on my laptop on my iPod touch?

I have recently updated the ios on my Touch to v. 6. I have over 1,000 songs on iTunes in my new laptop, but for the life of me, every time I sync, it only recognizes the 21 songs already on the touch. How can I get the songs on iTunes on to the touch? I've tried all the instructions, but the sync only takes a few seconds and nothing is ever added to my ipod. This is so frustrating.

Since we have no way of knowing what all the instructions are that you are referring to .... first quit iTunes, restart your Touch, restart your PC and start all over again.
Then ...
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Music Tab on the right.
Click on all of the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
Click on the Sync Music Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
Also assuming that you are signed into the same Apple ID on the Touch that you are using in iTunes - the ID that you used to purchase the music - if it is purchased music that will not sync.

Why can't I get certain songs off my iPhone??!

16 gig iPhone 4S, running iOS 7. I can't delete these stupid songs from the phone and no matter how many times I re-sync they don't go away!!

These are probably songs that you have either deleted in iTunes, or deleted from the phone that were synced to the phone at one time. This is how it determines to put the cloud symbol beside them. iTunes Match is that way as well. Of course, if you would have mentioned the cloud earlier, it would have ended earlier too. Glad you got it sorted.

Problem getting songs back from lost Ipod Touch onto computer?

I lost my Ipod Touch a month ago and I download my songs of the Touch's Itune store, not on my computer. Now I lost quite a few songs and since I did not sync the new songs onto my computer, its not on my computer. Is there anyway I can get back the songs I bought through the Itunes of Ipod Touch back onto my computer's Itunes? I hope you can understand what I'm saying, its a bit confusing.
Thanks

Sorry, but officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased items other than iPhone/iPod touch applications. It's your responsibility to make backup copies in case something goes wrong with your system or your iPod is lost, as unfortunately it apparently did in your case, and you lose all your purchases. The official statement of their policy can be found here, among other places. If your hard drive was erased and you don't have a backup of your purchased items, you're probably out of luck and will need to repurchase your tracks.
You can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis. But don't count on it.

Why can't I get find my iphone on my ipod 4th gen?

Hi there. I am trying to get find my iPhone for my iPod. It has iOS 5.1.1 and I signed it up to iCloud, but when I try to get find my iPhone, it says requires iOS 7 which is incompatible with this iPod. I need help. I don't know what to do. I have got the iWork and iLife apps perfectly because when I installed them they said 'do you want to install an older version of the app?' I said yes and they installed instantly.

No app is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

How do I get my music back on my Ipod touch 4th gen?

I was following the steps on how to sync my musc on to my Ipod touch 4th gen and when i was doing that i lost everything single song i ever had on my ipod (songs i bought and songs i downloaded) except for like 2 songs. How do i get all my songs back on there?

You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For how to sync:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Note that you can only sync with one computer/iTunes library. If you switch libraries/computers, the synced media on the iPod gets deleted.
