Song on iPod but not in iTunes and not on Time Machine?????

[MikeT125]

I have a song that I had on my Mac about 2 months ago and is currently on my iPod but iTunes says is missing. I looked in Time Machine but cannot locate it in there. I can play it on my iPod and would like to have it back on my machine.

How can I get it back from my iPod to my Mac?? BTW, I synced the iPod and the file didn't restore back onto the Mac. What can I do?

This is an 30gig iPod classic

You can't tell me no one else has not had this problem...... Any ideas?

If you synced the iPod again and it wasn't in the iTunes library you probably don't have it on your iPod anymore.

Is it a 'purchased' song? If so - when you connect your Ipod, right click on the section that appears in itunes for it (just under devices) and click 'transfer purchases'.

Failing that there's a ton of programmes which you can use to transfer songs from your Ipod to your mac - I'm partial to http://www.imacsoft.com/ipod-to-mac-transfer.html which offers a free trial of about 100 songs/transfers.
