Can't upload music from my I Tunes says my I Pod is associated with another library

Can't upload music from my I Tunes says my I Pod is associated with another library.

An iPod is designed to be synced with only one computer/iTunes library at a time. If you try to sync the iPod with a new/different iTunes library, iTunes on the new/different computer will replace the contents currently on the iPod with whatever is currently stored in its own library.
If the music and content on your iPod is not in iTunes or in a backup somewhere you can use the information in this user tip from another forum member turingtest2 to help you copy this content from the Nano back to the PC and into iTunes.

  • How can i upload music from my ipod to my macbook air?

    hi, how can i upload music from my ipod to my macbook air? thanks.

    Try this.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
    If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
    There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod to iTunes.

    You cannot... that is called Stealing. If you want the Music... Purchase it.

  • Why when I try to re download my music it says this device is already associated with another device and I have so many days to re download my music back? How do I get around this and get my music back?

    It is telling you that the device has been associated with another Apple ID. Once an Apple ID has been associated with a device, there is a 90-day waiting period before another Apple ID can be associated with that device. Here is a Support Article that explains the 90-day waiting period:

  • How can i re download movies onto my iPad if the device 'is already associated with another apple id'?

    Every time I try to play a movie/tv show on my ipad that i've bought but haven't downloaded, a message comes up saying 'This device is already associated with an apple id, you can download past purchases on this device with just one apple id every 90 days. You cannot associate this devicethis device with a different apple id for 90 days'. I have no idea what this means so I will be eternally grateful if someone could help.

    Well I changed the email for the same account, however I used '.com' instead of '.co.uk' which obviously caused alot of complications. After about an hour on the phone this is all sorted out now and I am left with one apple id, but this is still happening. If this makes no sense to anyone I don't blame you as it took me a good half hour to get my own head round it.

  • Can i upload music from different compute

    so the last MP3 player i had wouldnt let me upload from more than one computer. so when? i got a new computer, i got screwed because it wouldnt let me upload any more music onto my player, unless i deleted everything that was already on my player. I just bought a Creative Zen V for my little brother for christmas, and i thought it would be cool if i uploaded some music on it for him so when he opens it, he can listen to it. but i didnt want to do that if he can only upload from one computer. if anyone knows, let me know! thanks!!

  • Can't Upload Music from Burned CD to Replace Lost Music

    I bought some music through iTunes. Somehow it was deleted or lost. I've done everything the Help menu suggested (searching the whole computer, thumb drive where the music was, recycle bin, etc.) and still can't find the music. Most of it was burned to a CD but when I try to upload it back into iTunes, it says the file can't be found (from the CD!). Also, is there any way to reclaim the music that wasn't backed up?
    Thanks!

    Glad you got that sorted.
    As to your next question, I assume that you're referring to songs purchased from the iTunes Store. Officially, you are only allowed to download them once. There have been reports of people contacting customer service and explaining the circumstances and getting authorization for a second download. I don't recall the link that has been recommended for such a contact but there is a customer service link at the bottom of the page.

  • Can I upload music from iPod to iTunes? My music has disappeared from my iTunes account, but still have it on iPod.

    Music on my iTunes account has disappeared, but still have it on my older iPod; want to upload it to iTunes, but when I hook up to computer, iTunes wants to overwrite the iPod.  I fear I'll lose it all.  Any help?

    Hey blite923,
    Thanks for the question. If these are purchased songs, you can transfer purchases from your iPod to your computer without syncing:
    Re-download or transfer your iTunes Store purchases from an iPhone, iPad or iPod to a computer - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1848
    Transfer your purchases to your computer
    Before you transfer your purchases, make sure that your computer is authorized with the same Apple ID account you used to make the purchases. Learn how to authorize your computer using iTunes.
    If you bought the iTunes Store content on your device using multiple Apple ID accounts, you'll need to authorize the computer for each one.
    To transfer purchases from your device to a computer:
    Connect your device to the computer. Wait for its icon to appear in iTunes.
    Go to File > Devices. If you're using iTunes for Windows and can't see the menu bar, learn how to turn on iTunes menus in Windows.
    Choose Transfer Purchases from [device name].
    ​​This feature works only for content bought from the iTunes Store. Any items that you imported from audio CDs or received from other sources won't copy from your device to the iTunes library. However, all podcasts from your device's Podcasts app and copies of all PDFs and books from your device's iBooks app will transfer to the computer. Learn how to transfer media to your iTunes library.
    Thanks,

  • Can not download music from Macbook I tunes to Iphone

    I have music on my Macbook, both from CDs and from I tunes. I have tried to download specific songs to Ipod on my Iphone. The device symbol shows on my Itunes. When I drag a song to the device, it returns to Itunes without copying.
    I had earlier turned something off because i do not want to sync my phone book with my Iphone.
    I am looking for a solution.

    There are ways to set the iPhone to sync specific things, without syncing the contacts, calendar, etc. You need to click on the tab for music and make settings there. You can sync all your music or just what you check. You can also check the box on the summary page to manually manage your music. That will be the only way you can drag and drop music like you describe. Hope this helps.

  • How can you upload music from PC external hard drive to iPad 2?

    I recently got an iPad2 to replace a netbook that was stolen. I have all my music stored on an external hard drive and was wondering what is an easy way to upload it to either the iPad itself or to the iCloud? Also is there someway to connect an iPod Classic to the iPad to share/transfer music?
    Brian

    You are going to need to route that music thru I tunes, then sync it down.  There is not easy way to connect a drive with music to a pad.  Same answer with the pod.  You need iTunes to act as the traffic cop between the devices.
    If the music was in the cloud, you can get it down, but there is no way to get it up without syncing thru I tunes.

  • Can I upload music from iPhone4 using iTunesMatch?

    I replaced my iMac recently.  I want to transfer my entire music library from my iPhone4 to the iTunes library on my new iMac.  What is the best way to do this?

    The best way is to copy the backup of your iTunes folder from the old computer to the new one. If you do not have that backup, then see this user hint. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
