Can't move songs from library folder to new Nano

Just got a Nano and want to load songs to play for my newborn baby girl. I have an existing iTunes library of mp3s - When I try to move some into new playlists on my Nano they don't transfer. Sometimes I get that circle with a slash, other times when dragging them over the new Nano playlist folders they seem drop-abble but dont copy over.
Is there something I'm not understanding about copy-protection.
Anyone's guidence, suggestions or help is most appreciated!!

The easiest way to get tracks off your iPod will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:

Can we move Lightroom from PC to a new laptop?

Can we move Lightroom from PC to a new laptop?

It is unclear whether you’re asking about permission to put LR on a new computer, or more about the details of the process of moving things from one computer to the other.
As far as licensing and program installation, you are allowed as a single user to use LR on two different computers as long as you’re not using the two computers at the same time, so you can just download and install the latest update for whatever version you are using on your old computer to the new computer and input your serial number, again. If you are transferring LR5 then there is no update, just install from the original media or download the Try version to the new computer and input the serial number.
You can also move your catalog database file and images over to a new computer, but the exact details of that depend on where the images and catalog are on the old computer compared to where you want them on your new computer. Generally if you put them in the same relative locations then about all you’ll need to do is hook up the top-level folders with Locate Missing Folder command available from the right-click menu on each top-level folder The process will be easier if you actually move all your folders under as few of top-level folders as possible from within LR on the old computer before moving things to the new computer.
If you’ve created custom presets and/or installed LR plug-ins those will need to be moved or re-installed on the new so take stock of where all these are before you start the move.

How can i move music from my ipod to new computer

how can i move music from my ipod to new computer

The sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

Can ypou move songs from one ipod to another?

Is there a way to move songs from one way to another, if so can you tell me.

Be very careful when connecting an iPod full of music to an empty iTunes library.There is very real risk of permanently losing all the music.
To prevent auto sync, connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'control+shift' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to a new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.
How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump and iPodRobot.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
More information is contained here.

Can i move songs from my iPod to my new matchbook air?

I bought a brand new mackbook air and i had trouble on the migration assisstant because the verification window wouldnt show up on my old dell. I would now like to know if i am able to move songs from my ipod to my new mac without having to use migration assisstant. Please help me! Thanks!

one way to can simply do this (if dragging and dropping won't work), is to simply put the songs that you would like in the playlist into the On-The-Go playlist in your iPod. Once you have put these songs into the On-The-Go folder (by highlighting the song and holding down the center button), simply plug the ipod back into your computer, and rename the folder with the songs in it. Hope this helps.

Can I transfer songs from Ipod back to new hard drive?

My hard drive recently completely crashed, got it replaced but couldn't recover any data. When I re-installed Itunes the library was obviously empty but I'm wondering if there is anyway I can get the songs from the Ipod back into the library without starting completely over? I tried opening the device to possibly copy and paste files but can only access the photo files. When I connect Ipod to the computer I only get the option to Erase and Sync, and I really really don't want to have to do that if there is some other way

HT203167 lost my hard drive how can i get songs from ipod back to new computer

I lost my hard drive and want to get my music back on my new computer. How can I get songs from my ipod to my computer? I am afraid to sync it and losing what is on my ipod. Any help would be appreciated.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

HT4527 How can I move my iTunes library to my new laptop?

My old computer crashed, and all that's left of it is the hardrive. I didn't get to deactivate the iTunes account on the old pc, and I don't have a backup of the library. All I have is my nano which has some songs from library, but not all. Please tell me I have options to recover my library...

You may well be able to recover your library and media from your old drive if you place it in an external drive bay and connect it to your new computer. Otherwise see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Can I move songs from one computers library to another?

Hi I have an Ipod that my husband originally set up on his computer. I have since set it up on my computer and I have a separater library. Can I plug in the Ipod to my computer and download the library that was on his computer. If so, how. Thank you for any suggestions and help.

Place the iPod in disk mode, drag songs from one computer to it's icon in the My Computer window, and on the other machine, drag the songs to the hard disk and then into the iTunes library.

How can I move songs from my wife's iPod to her new iPhone?

My wife got a new iPhone 5 yesterday. She had some songs on her iPod and wanted them transferred to her new phone. When I explored this on the web, I came up with Touch Copy. I downloaded a free trial and was able to get the songs from her iPod to my computer (but they are in a Touch Copy folder, they do not come up in the iTunes library). Now I can't get the songs onto her new phone. When I explored that, I came across Disk-Aid. Before I got deeper into 3rd party software (and multiple ones at that), I wanted to get some advice. So, here I am...I would appreciate any information you can give me. Thanks, Kenny.

Does your wife have the computer she syncd her iPod to?
Connect up iPhone 5 and sync the content on to it

New Mac can't transfer songs from library to iPhone or iPods

I just bought a new Mac Mini because my iBook died. My iTunes library is stored on an external hard drive. I can see the library in iTunes, but when I try to move them to my iPhone or iPods I get an error message. It states that the new computer must be authorized. I do the authorization process and it tells me that this is computer of 2 of the 5 that I can authorize to play music and it is authorized. But, I can play the songs thru iTunes, but can't transfer them to any other devices.
The majority of the music in my library wasn't purchased thru iTunes. It is music ripped from purchased CD's to the hard drive and then imported into my library. I have had no problems for the last 5 years with this library on the laptop.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong, or suggestions on how to solve the problem?
Thank you in advance for any help.

IS your ipod in Automatic mode or Manual.. Meaning if it is in manual mode you must transfer the songs manually. TO change - With ipod connected go to edit - preferences - ipod from that you ca select whether you wat automatic "yes" or manual

Had to reinstall OS and Itunes..Will not import songs from library folder

I reinstalled my Windows 7 OS and Installed Itunes 10.6 but when I add my ipodmusic folder to the library it does not import the songs into the library. I tries dragging and dropping a few songs but it deletes them from the folder.
Any ideas?

I think I'm having the same problem. This is what I get when I try to import songs:
The iPod “Ian” is linked to another iTunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this iTunes music library and replace all existing songs and playlists on this I Pod with those from this library?
Yes No
What is this about? My buddy accidentally hit yes, and lost all of the songs on his iPod. I simply want to update my iPod with new material. This new material was obtained while using a different computer than what I originally used when I first got my iPod. Does anyone know how I can get music from a new computer on my iPod

Can't move document from one folder to another

In the previous incarnation of Pages, right when it first developed Folders (a long overdue development), I was able to easily move a document from one folder to another on my MacBook, as well as my iPad.
Now, whenever I grab a document and try to drag and drop it into a new folder to move it, it won't let.
Did Apple actually remove this functionality from Pages?

Didn't have the Yosemite MBA powered up, so verified this on Mavericks with Pages v5.2.2. Since Apple has essentially frozen the Pages v5 codebase, figured this would also work on Yosemite.
Any application (e.g. TextEdit) that takes advantage of this titlebar feature can move documents in this manner.
In the Finder, you can move a document from one location to another by depressing the command key while dragging the file.
In Pages v5.2.2, with the document chooser open, I can use the preceding sentence move technique to move a file from an open folder into the Pages document chooser and it will automatically switch the Pages document chooser to inside that external folder — without launching the document. But, the command+drag feature does not work to move a document visible in the Pages v5.2.2 document chooser to another Finder location, or even into a folder visible within the document chooser.

Can't get songs from library to ipod

hi
i just bought an ipod yesterday. I was able to get songs from my cd's to the library. I can't get the songs from the library to my ipod. When i look in the user guide, i see an option button which looks like it should be in the bottom right hand corner. My itunes does not have this button. I even removed programs and downloaded from apple website. What am i doing wrong.

hi!
* Sorry for my last post, this is want i want you to search for:
SYNC/ERASE
* using the latest iPod Updater and iTunes Correctly:
1. Run iPod updater, then connect your iPod shuffle
2. After it recognizes the iPod, run iTunes
3. The iTunes will not recognize the iPod shuffle.
4. Close the iPod updater, iTunes will now recognize the iPod shuffle
5. You could now sync/erase your songs
* I think the iPod shuffle updater program conflicts with iTunes program:
Coz, if you just connect your iPod shuffle and let the iTunes run automatically, the iTunes will recognize it while the windows will recognize it for just a sec then disconnects it, that's why you couldn't sync/erase yor songs.
** Only tested in iPod shuffle, but i think this will work too if you got the same problems.
* wait 5-10 sec for each steps (1-3)
i hope this would help you!..
