Can I transfer my old iPod content directly to new iPod?

I'm going to buy a new iPod and have alot of music on it that isnt in my music library. Can the music be directly transferred to a new ipod?

No. The music on the older iPod must be imported into iTunes first before it can be synced to the new iPod.

How can I transfer my old music files to my new iPod using a different computer from that used on the old iPod?

I got a brand new iPod and wanted to put the music files on my old iPod to the new one. In addition to this I would like to know how to sync my new iPod to a different computer from that of the old one. Is it possible for me to accomplish all this with music rescue?

Put everything on one computer and sync to that computer.

How can I transfer my old Apple ID purchases into new one?

Dear All,
Recently I decided to change my email address for some security reasons. Now I need to change my apple ID but there is a problem:
I have purchased a lot of things by my ID ( OSX as well as iTunes) and really don't want to pay for them again.
Here is the question: How can I transfer all those purchases to the new ID and how can I close ( deactivate) that old Apple ID ?
Thanks

You can't. Apple will not merge IDs and Apple will not move content from one ID to another.
There is no need for a new ID, just change the primary email address in the current ID and change your password if you are concerned about security.

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.

Can i sync my old itunes music onto my new ipod?

I just got a new ipod touch i have my old itunes account with all my music on it but i also have a new icloud account and im not sure if i can sync my already puchesed music from my itunes account to the new ipod, and if so can i select only certain songs i want on it?

I believe that you can sync your new iPod with the old iTunes account (For the music, apps etc.). The new iCloud account is separate for the iMessages, contacts, FaceTime, calendar etc.

Can I transfer my existing iTunes library to my new iPod?

Not sure if this is right location for this question, but here goes;
I am thinking of buying a new ipod and was wondering if I'd be able to load my current iTunes library of music (imported from CD's and purchased from iTunes) onto my new iPod?
Since I've purchased a considerable amount of my library from iTunes, I'd hate to lose all that music because I upgraded my iPod.
Your help is much appreciated.

Yes. Transfer it the same way you transferred it to your current iPod.

HT201269 How can I transfer my old iTunes library to a new computer?

I just got a MacBook Pro and I'd like to be able to access the iTunes library from my old computer on it. I've tried Home Sharing but it doesn't allow me to transfer my old library to my new computer, it just allows me to listen to the songs from it. I'd like to be able to sync my iPhone with my current computer without the "Erase and Sync" message popping up. I've authorized my new computer to access my iPhone and I don't understand why I'm not allowed to transfer my old library to my new computer.

Have you tried the Migration Assistant that came with your new MBP?

Your carrier can do it for you. Why would you not want to go to them?

How can I transfer my old iTunes library to my new one?

Just bought a mac pro this week and need to get all of the stuff off of my old macbook. the main thing is how do i get all that stuff on here so that when i plug my iphone into this computer it won't completely have to reset?

Same answer as your post in the iphone forum asking the exact same question.

How can I transfer my old account balance to my new Apple ID?

The new Apple ID was necessary because Itunes checks email addresses, and the address no longer exists, so it would not let me sign in. Now that I have a new Apple ID, it wont recognize my credit balance. Lest anyone tell me to email Apple, I cant: Apple wont recognize my email program, so I cannot contact anyone without their real, actual email address.
I cannot use my debit card, because all holders of Mastercard debit cards issued by Shazam are barred from ordering from itunes (and Gardener's Supply). Many problems started as I refused to accept "terms of use" here and there due to what I consider to be reprehensible terms-hence the locked email and therefore Apple verification problems.

You can't. Even if you could contact Apple, they won't do it unless you want to clear the balance instead of moving it between accounts; this is generally only useful when the balance is stopping you from changing countries.

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

You'll need to copy the music from the old iPod back to iTunes first before you can transfer it to your new iPod.
