I have a 120gb Classic that has no space left on it. i am going to buy a larger gb capacity ipod as soon as i get clearer instruction on how to get the old ipod content to the new ipod. How do you get content from one ipod to the other?

how do you get content from one ipod to the new one? my content is on an external hard drive not on my pc and i have run out of space on my 120gb classic. can you get old ipod content to new? my itunes has only got short cuts, the real content is on an external drive? can this be done?? please help

If the content is on an external drive, but your library knows where to find it, then it should all work. Connect your device, make some selections for what to put on it, and sync. If, on the other hand, your current iPod is the only place holding some of your media then see this user tip: Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Does anyone knows a way to work with various Pages documents at the same time, for example with a system of tabs to switch directly from one document to the other?

    Hello everyone,
    Working with numerous Apple Pages documents at the same time, I am looking for an efficient solution to switch faster from one document to the other. Integrating all them in a single framework, for exemple by switching from one to the other with a system of tabs would be of great help. Does anyone knows if such a possibility exists?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jean-Baptiste

    Thanks. It works and is very efficient. Not as much as a real system of tabs, but is allows to switch very fast between different documents. Only regret I would have is that it doesn't work with a document which is on full page mode. But that's already very helpful!
    You're very welcome but Peggy really gave you the answer already. 
    With regard to the full screen apps, I don't think Apple have yet worked out how to make them elegantly coexist with other apps.  The closest you can get is the four finger swipe gestures you may use on a trackpad if you have one (Mission Control and App Exposé).
    In fact nowadays I use the App Exposé (four finger swipe down gesture) more often than I use Command-Accent to move between documents in the same app (when not in full screen).  It also as the advantage of showing you thumbnails of recently opened documents below the ones already open within the app.  If you haven't tried it, I suggest you give it a whirl.
    I can't remember now but I think the four finger gestures are not enabled by default and you must switch them on in System Preferences > Trackpad > More Gestures.

    How can you transfer data from one ipod to another ipod ?

    The geniusbar told me what to do, I understood but there is still a problem for me >:/ It's not showing up though. Like "device."  Nothing is happening, and I tried as soon as I got home. Then after half an hour, then an hour, then 3 hours. My problem is that it's not showing up! It's stuck in recovery mode! There's still like 25% battery. So I have no idea why.

  • HT1329 how do you transfer music from one ipod to another ipod

    How do I move music from one ipod to another ipod?

    The music that is on the one iPod must be stored in an iTunes library first before it can be synced/added to the other one.  You cannot transfer content directly from one iDevice to another.

  • Can you sync music from one iPod to another?

    Both are the same model of iPods, but they came from two different computers. They have different libraries. I was wondering if you could transfer songs from one iPod to the other iPod. None of the songs i want to transfer are in the computer's library. The songs are from seperate computers.
    I have a PC, in case that hepls any.

    No it isn't possible to transfer music from one iPod directly to another. The music needs to be in an iTunes library in order to transfer it to an iPod.
    You said the songs came from two different computers and they have different libraries. Then you said +"None of the songs i want to transfer are in the computer's library."+ which seems to contradict what you said originally.
    Care to elaborate?

  • How do you transfer music from one iPod to another?

    How do you transfer all of your music from one iPod to another DIRECTLY from that iPod? Not all of the music on my iPod is in my library so I'm not sure how to transfer it, if it's even possible.

    Search for an app that may utilize BlueTooth to do that.

  • Can you transfer music from one iPod to another (that having one of them set up as a NEW iPod and not signed in with the first) through iTunes on the computer?

    My mom has an iPod 2nd gen. I have been using it this whole time until Christmas. I got an iPod 5th gen. We listen to the same type of music and hers is on iTunes on the computer. I want to have my own iPod (set up as new) not set up with her account. But I do not want to re-buy all of the music that is already on her iPod. Is there a way that I can transfer all of her music from iTunes on the computer to my iPod (using the computer). If so, then how? and if not, is there another way that is possible other than logging my iPod in with her account?

    Copy the music for the old iPod to his computer by:

    Then sync the new iPod to that computer.

  • Can you transfer music from one app to the same app on a different device?

    I have an app called HCO playlist and it lets you download the current playlist and as the playlist changes you cant redownload the previous playlist but you keep the songs you downloaded and on my iPod 4th gen. I was wodering if there was anyway if i could transfer the songs from the app on my iPod to the same app on my iPad mini.

    Only if that app allows that option. There is nothing natively on the iPod to do that.

  • Can you mirror applications from one iPod to another? 2nd g to a 4g?

    My son bought a 4g touch.  Wondering if we can migrate his games(saved levels etc) to new ipod.  Coming from an ipod 2g

    Game settings and data are part of the backup. In order to get the same saved levels etc, you'll have to restore the new iPod with the latest backup of the old one. But, all other info will be set back to that point in time as well.

  • How do you transfer songs from one ipod to another?

    i got a new ipod touch and i want to put my music from my old one onto the new one. but it is not working and i do not know what to do.

    Haven't you got your songs in iTunes? Just connect your new one and it will update from your Library.
    However if you have deleted them from the PC, there are a number of third party utilities that can retrieve the files from your iPod.

  • When you pre order a new phone (Note 4), and mail back the old phone (Note 3), on an Edge upgrade, do you get a trade in credit?

    Will I get credit for the $215 that they say my Note 3 is worth once they receive it in the mail?

    The fact they let you upgrade before the phone is paid off is your credit.
