your songs should go to your computer when you sync it…i don’t know how else to help you. Are you letting it finish the sync?

while in iTunes click on ‘Transfer Purchases’: http://macs.about.com/od/backupsarchives/ss/ipodtransfer_3.htm
Keep trying to sync. And if that doesn’t work turn off your computer then iPod and back on then try again if that doesn’t work reinstall iTunes.
transferring music from an ipod or similar portable music player to a macintosh is a fairly common task. simply place your device in the cd/dvd drive on the computer and click “rip” from the windows media player menu.
