Help transferring songs from laptop to laptop

i just got a new laptop and i want to transfer all my songs from my other laptop. and when i plug in my ipod to my new computer it deletes them all. anyone know how i can switch all the songs?

"when i plug in my ipod to my new computer it deletes them all."
It appears that your iPod is set to update automatically and you keep pressing "Yes" when get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc. All you are doing is linking your iPod to the blank iTunes. You can't sync or drag your music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. So first off, connect your iPod to the original laptop and let it put your songs back on, then change it to manual update: Managing Your Songs Manually
Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.
Now there a re a few things you can do. One would be to connect your iPod to the new laptop (now that it's safe to do so) and copy the songs from it onto the hard drive There is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs but not playlists back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

Alternatively network the two computers and transfer your iTunes folder from one to another. This link may help you out:

Transferring songs from my pc laptop to my ipad

how can i transfer songs from my pc to my ipad...(ios 7.0.6)

Install iTunes if you don't have it already.
Open iTunes
Go to Library, add files to library
import that music into your laptop
Connect your iPad to your laptop
WHen your iPad shows up in itunes and you see its name on the left side, click on it
navigate to the music tab
Choose the music you want syncd on and do a sync
Now if you've never synced your iPad to a computer you'll need to dig deeper because I'm not sure if you can seamlessly go from 'over the air- never synced to a computer' to importing music into the computer without doing some other things first.

I DESPERATLY NEED HELP TRANSFERING SONGS FROM IPOD TO ITUNES LIBRARY

hi my computer crashed downstairs and i need help moving all my songs from my ipod to my itunes library, on the other computer...will someone please help me?

Hello Markatkis,
Make sure your not connecting it to more than one PC. A new iPOd is set to "Auto Update" by default. With this setting all you do is plug the iPOd into the PC and iTUnes automaticly opens, loads all the songs it has listed in iTunes to the iPod, and after its done, ejects the iPOd.
If you connect it to another PC tho with iTUnes on it you usually get a promtp that in short says "iPOd library linked to another PC, do you want to link to this one" if you click yes, it wipes the iPOd clean and loads only whats on that PC.
Since your new to all of this a great place for you may be the "iPod 101" site. It will show you all the bacis ropes of using your iPOd, using iTUnes, and using them both together. http://www.apple.com/support/ipod101/

Help transferring songs from Ipod, can't download Itunes 7

I have an ipod mini, and manually update the songs on my imac G5. I did not realise I couldn't then transfer the songs back to my itunes library. I've seen a previous topic which mentions enabling disk use, can I do this on a mini? How? I tried to install Itunes 7 on my mac but couldn't because I need OSX 10.3.9 and I'm 10.3.5.
All the instructions are confusing me, I need something simple to explain how I can get my songs off my ipod without losing them all as can't bear the thought of starting all over again.
Please help me, thanks in advance.

If you update your iPod manually it's already enabled for disk use. There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available, you can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Senuti Mac Only
iPodRip Mac Only
PodView Mac Only
PodWorks Mac Only
iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
YamiPod Mac & Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac & Windows
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.

Need Help transfering data from phone to laptop

I have a 4G Samsung that I no longer use, but I still have pictures and music on it that I would like to transfer to my laptop. How can I do that? I bought a ONN Micro USB Sync and Charge Cable to do exactly that. Each time I plug it into the
phone and laptop, all it does is charge the phone. How do I transfer my pictures and music so I can get rid of the phone? Thank You very much for the help, if its at all possible. Or, if the cord I have won't work, can someone tell me what I need to
do to get my pictures & music off the phone? Model #SCH-I405

I'm having trouble transferring songs from Laptop to devices

I'm having trouble transferring songs from my laptop to both my iPad 2 and iPhone 5. I just added a new album to my library, and where before I used to select the songs I wanted to add to my devices, and then drag and drop them, this doesn't appear to work. I watched the tutorial and it says there is an 'Add to' option when you clkick on the device name in the top right hand corner. That doesn't appear on mine at all. Completely confused and nearing the end of my tether!

Make sure your device iOS is updated:

I had created two photo albums on my ipad, by transferring photos from my hp laptop. I want to make space available on my ipad by deleting these photos, but the same hp laptop is no more with me. How do I delete these photos?

I had created two photo albums on my ipad, by transferring photos from my hp laptop. I want to make space available on my ipad by deleting these photos, but the same hp laptop is no more with me. How do I delete these photos?

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

Can anyone help transfer songs from itouch to itunes?

Can anyone help transfer songs from itouch to itunes?
Stupidly I deleted all my music from my laptops music folder: I was doing a spring clean and wrongly thought that all the music was duplicated stored in itunes itself.
Anyway I have all my music on my ipod touch I need now to reverse sync this music back to my itunes.
I know that the solution is to transfer from my itouch>my laptop>my itunes library.
The problem I have is that my computer is not recognising my itouch; it is however showing up in the itunes programme, but not under my computer.
Does anyone know how I should proceed.

Try uninstalling iTunes from your computer, then re-installing it. Then once loaded back on (it still won't have your songs), click on the iTunes Store and log in. Then plug in your iPod, then right-click it on the bar on the left side of the screen, then click "Transfer Purchases". It then should sync all of your songs, movies, TV shows, and Apps to your computer.
Hope this helps.

Parameter Error when Transferring Files from ipod to laptop

Hi,
I have posted this topic previously but didnt respond fast enough and I think the system locked it down as I had too long of a delay.
I have recently set up iTunes on a laptop and want to start using this as my default iTunes for syncing etc. Unfortunately I no longer have access to the desktop that housed my original iTunes so I have followed the instructions to use my ipod as an external disc and transfer the files this way.
These are the instructions I have followed http://lifehacker.com/105256/how-to-copy-songs-from-your-ipod-to-your-pc
There are two issues I see. (1) the ipod control folder is allowing me to see what is housed in the folder but it is slightly greyed out compared to the other folders in the same location.
(2) when I try and copy the music folder to my desktop etc I get a parameter error.
So for example the error I have when transferring to my desktop I get
"Cannot copy OUTO (the file): The parameter is incorrect.
Hopefully someone has seen this before.
thx
