Delete library from old ipod and start again with whats on another iphone

I'm using my daughter's old computer with itunes.
It has her library on it.
I want to delete the library and sync it with whats on my iphone.
I tried remove program and reinstalling from itunessetup.exe but the old library remained.
How do I get itunes with the songs from my iphone on this computer without having all the songs from my daughter's old library on it as well.

If it's an older ipod, you can physically pull the files from it as though it was another hard drive and then add them to iTunes.
If it's an iPhone/iTouch, you need special software (unable to be discussed here due to TOS - look up "TuneAid" on the web) to get the music off the device and into the library. Without that, you can only overwrite (erase) what is on the iPhone and replace with new music from your library.

  • Every time I try and delete an album from my ipod using itunes but doing so manually as was suggested, it is also deleted from the itunes library that i have set up.  How do I just delete albums from my ipod and not loose them from my pc itunes library?

    I have an extensive itunes library on my pc.  I want to delete albums from my ipod but still keep them in my itunes library.  Everytime I try to delete by right clicking on the album and choosing delete, I also loose the album from itunes.  I have just gotten an old iphone and put just classical and jazz on the iphone and want to delete those albums from my ipod but alas I will be loosing them from the iphone as well as soon as I sync with itunes in the future.  I put settings into manual manage music but still the albums go off itunes.  Any suggestions?

    I'm thinking you sync to your computer over Wi-Fi, if correct, switch to sync when connected to iTunes, turn off sync over Wi-Fi. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.

  • Why can't I delete items from  my iPod (and not from my library)- I tried creating a playlist as manual suggested but this no longer works,  any ideas?

    Previous to latest changes in iTunes I have been able to delete items on my iPod by simply clicking on and deleting when prompted for action by right click.  This has become impossible and even the instructions to creat a playlist by clicking on "add to" no longer work.  I seem to be unable to delete anything unless I delete it from my iTunes library.  Anyone out there know the solution or working on the problem?  Seems to me that if the product wasn't broke Apple should not fix it.....they should stop tinkering with it, please.

    You've posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question isn't related to. You will have better luck posting to the iPod Nano forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipod/ipod_nano

  • Transferring Library from Old iPOD mini to new computer...

    My computer was fried about a month ago. My company's IT department replaced it, but I lost my library of iTUNES entirely from the hard disk. The whole library is of course on my old iPOD mini. I want to transfer the library from the old iPOD mini to my new computer and then, in turn, to my new NANO - which I am very excited about. I have installed the nano and the iTUNEs on my new computer. I am fearful that if I plug my old iPOD mini into the new computer, with the blank library, that it will erase the iPOD mini library. HELP!

    DO NOT attach & sync your full iPod to an empty iTunes!!!
    These links will give you several methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you. There are many various third-party software programs that will offer a more robust process, or an easier GUI. Do a Google search for them if the links below leave you wanting…

    Senuti (Mac OS X v10.3 or higher Recovery Utility)
    XPlay (Windows software For Music Recovery &/or Cross-Platform Functionality)
    XPlay Photo Browser (For recovering Photos)
    Extremely Simple Method: (just to recover the song files)
    1 - Open iTunes
    2 - Edit=>Preferences=>’Advanced/General’ tab
    2a --- Select ‘Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library’: checked
    2b --- Select ‘Keep iTunes Music folder organized’: checked
    2c --- Click OK to store changes
    3 - Attach your iPod to the PC and hold down the ‘Shift+Ctrl’ keys until the iPod is fully recognized (this will defeat the auto-sync process)
    4 - If you get a dialog box to link the Library, decline this option
    5 – Within iTunes: File=>Add Folder
    6 - Browse to and open ‘My Computer’ (click on the ‘+’) and select the iPod
    7 - Click OK
    8 - The music files should start to transfer back into iTunes
    8a –- this will take some time depending on your PC and the amount of songs on the iPod
    No Playlists, or Ratings, Last Played, & Play Count attributes will be transferred from the iPod to iTunes using this method
    After recovering your song files, strongly consider developing a thorough backup strategy for just this type of situation (and many other potential disasters).
    You need at least two full sets of your music, not including what is on the iPod:
    -- One full set on the PC within iTunes (on internal HD or ExHD)
    -- One full set on an separate external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
    -- One (full or partial) set on the iPod
    Music files on just the iPod and only one other medium is not considered having any backup.
    If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer’s internal HD, then create and maintain at least two external sets (any multiple combinations of ExHDs, DVDs, CDs).
    Backup both the music files and the Library database file (iTunes Library.itl). What are the iTunes Library files?

  • Itunes deleted music from my ipod AND my computer?

    I noticed recently that an album (originally burned from a CD I purchased in hard copy) was missing from my ipod touch (latest gen, ios 7.0.3). I went to re-add the album from my laptop and found it was also missing from itunes. I searched the hard drive, and there was no folder for the artist or album anywhere on my computer. I thought maybe I'd accidentally deleted that one album somehow and went to grab the hard copy to re-burn it. But then I noticed that there were random songs missing from other albums, and that these were also missing entirely from their file locations on my laptop. In all, I believe around 10gb of music have disappeared from my computer and ipod, without me doing anything. This is absurd. How in the world did itunes manage to do this?? How can I get my music back? 99% was music burned from CDs, so it's not a matter of restoring itunes store purchases. I do have backups of my hard drive, but is there some way to fix this through itunes—and more to the point, a way to prevent itunes from randomly decimating my collection again?!

    I've since tried restoring from the Previous Itunes Library folder, but even files that date from times when I am 100% positive the missing music existed both on my laptop and my ipod, the songs are gone. Which would make sense, if itunes somehow managed to delete the actual files from my hard drive (how?!)... Does anyone know how or why this could have happened? I believe this happened after updating to the previous version of itunes (I upgraded to 11.1.3 after noticing the missing music, in hopes that it might undo the damage, but no dice).

  • Is there a way to move my library from old ipod to new ipod if i do not have my old hard drive

    I have an issue on my old ipod with the sound coming through headphones...after troubleshooting found something is wrong with my old ipod (from like 2006) and i just bought a brand new one and want to be able to move my songs from my old ipod to my new one in windows platform environment.  The issue is I don't have my original hard drive with the Itunes library on it on which I originally purchased my songs.  Is there a way at all to download my songs from my old ipod to my new computer's hard drive and then move them from that hard drive to the new ipod?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    I am a novice at this so please be user friendly and not a lot of computer jargon please if possible...if you can outline steps that would be great.

    Hello goldymich
    You can only transfer items that you have purchased from the iTunes Store. The article below will give the steps on how to do that.
