HT1535 I would like to move my songs from my ipod nano back on to my freshly reinstalled windows and iTunes. Can that be done? I turned off automatic syncing so I can charge up the ipod.

You won't be able to, just by navigating out the iPod's photos folder in iTunes. You'll likely need the help of some sort of third party software to get the job done for you. One thing you'll want to keep in mind about these photos is that they are no longer in their full resolution, but instead are scaled down thumbnail versions that were optimized for viewing on your iPod's Video smaller 2.5" LCD display.
Here is one such product.

How do you transfer songs from an iPod Nano to library

How do I transfer songs from an iPod Nano to the iTunes Library or iMatch so I can access them on my iPad?

iTunes Match requires a connection to the Internet; an iPod nano has no networking capability. Everything for the nano goes through your computer.
If you want the songs on the nano on your iPad, they need to be transferred to your computer and then added to your iTunes library. You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilties that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are in your iTunes library, the will be added to your iTunes Match library in iCloud. You can then add the songs to your iPad from your computer or from iCloud.
NOTE: Songs previously purchased from the iTunes Store can also be re-downloaded at no cost, from the iTunes Store Purchased screen.

How does one copy songs from an iPod nano to a new computer?

How does one copy songs from an iPod nano to a new computer?

You can't add any iOS to a Nano since it doesn't run iOS.
For iTunes purchased music connect to your computer and in iTunes go to File > Transfer purchases.
For non-iTunes music you will need 3rd party software. Assuming you have a Windows computer try Yamipod.

How do I move songs from my iPod nano to my music library?

I have an iPOD Nano that preceeds my purchases of iPad and iPhone devices. Some music on my Nano is not in my current music library, probably because older PC's have crashed and in the process, some of the songs never made the transition into my computer or newer devices. I am trying to figure out how to move songs on my Nano into my music library to complete the set. Help for the dummy, please!!!

You're not a "dummy," because you cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). iTunes syncing of content generally works in one direction, from computer to iPod. However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the songs files are on your computer, you can add them to your iTunes library.
NOTE: Songs previously purchased from the iTunes Store can also be re-downloaded at no cost from the iTunes Store Purchased screen.

Putting Songs From One Ipod Nano Onto Another!

My kids both have ipod nanos. One has the 1st gen. nano and my other one has the 2nd gen. nano. My son with the 2nd gen. ipod nano, he accidently deleted all his songs. Anyway,he wanted to try to put all the songs my other son with the 1st gen. nano on his 2nd gen ipod nano. IS there anyway to do that? Can you copy and paste songs from the 1st gen. ipod nano to a 2nd gen ipod nano. If you could please tell me how. It will be a great help. Thanks!

I am guessing that your computer does not have the music library your #1 son has right? If your music library simply had the music #1 son has then simply sync the same songs to #2 son's ipod.
If this is not the case then there is NO way of getting music from #1 son ipod to #2 son ipod directly without going thru the computer. Hence it is vital to have the songs from #1 son ipod in your itunes music library for #2 son ipod to have the same music as #1 son has.
(confused yet???)
So you either need to get the music from the #1 son ipod to your computer itunes library or say that #2 son is out of luck. which is not good
So look at this link of a previous discussion for software that will get the music from the ipod to the computer.

THen it may be good to read this article on how to manage multiple ipods with one computer.

How do I transfer songs from my iPod to iTunes?

Okay. At this point I am SO frustrated with Apple. I just hate the company so much right now. Such a simple simple question. How do I transfer songs from my iPod Nano (1st Gen) to iTunes. There is nothing about it in any manual. Apple has no way for you to contact them via email. And it appears the only way to get any answers is to sign up for this ridulous apple account and then sign up again for a posting id or whatever. Anyways. I would simply like to know, how do I transfer the songs from my iPod to my iTunes. Thank you.

If you are using 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.
For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
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.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), 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 can be messy.
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.
Another free program is Pod Player.
SharePod is also freeware.

How do I transfer or sync music from a Ipod Nano to a new computer?

I have a new computer and have installed ITunes on it. An existing Ipod Nano has my music files. How do I sync or transfer the music from the Nano, so I can use those files on my Iphone?

If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
If you didn't purchase them through Itunes, then you'll have to download software that will strip the songs from your iPod Nano. And here is a guide about how to sync music from iPod nano back to computer. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

Alright, so my ipod touch stopped working, but I can still connect it to itunes, but my friend gave me his old nano. I was wondering how I could get my more updated songs from my ipod touch onto th nano. My laptop crashed whitch had all my new music, and im afraid if I sync my Ipod touch to the desktop with all my old songs, ill lose all my newer ones which I dont want to happen because I want them on my nano. Im sorry for the confusing topic im just so lost.

All you have to do is connect your new iPod to the computer that has the library for your old iPod.
When iTunes comes up, click on your new iPod under Devices.
At the top of the Summary Page click Music.
Click Synch Music.
Do the same thing for Photos, Apps, Movies and so on...
Now just synch the iPod.
