Help with transferring music from itunes to itunes

I just got my iPod for Christmas (yay!) and I'm in a dilemma with downloading songs to it from iTunes. Our home computer is being worked on and is basically useless right now. However, my dad has his laptop that already has iTunes on it. My question is, if I would download songs on his computer to put on my iPod, could I later take them off his iTunes (or my iPod) and put it on my iTunes on the home computer? I dont want to lose any of them, but would like to be able to take them off his iTunes and put them on mine to manage in the future.
Thanks for any help!!

You have two options:
Copy the songs from Dad's laptop to the home PC when ready (preferred): http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=1366018
Recover the songs from the iPod to the Home PC: http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=1365113

  • Problems with transferring music from itunes to ipod

    Hello, I've never had problems with iTunes but this issue amazes me! I emptied my whole iTunes Library the other day, and added a whole load of new songs. Then, when I was finished with my selection I connected my iPod Nano to USB portal at my pc. iTunes recognised the iPod and also said: bijwerken.. niet loskoppelen (moving files, don't disconnect). This takes 2 seconds and then it says the iPod is ready with transferring files.
    Then I notice that no files where moved at all. My iPod is empty for two days now and It's killing me !! hehe, please help ?!

    I'm not sure if this is what you are after but Forum member Buegie has compiled a very extensive procedure for backing up your music which you'll find at this link: Backing up iTunes
    You'll also find instructions here on uninstalling iTunes: Stepwise clean uninstallation of iTunes</a
    I hope these are of some help, take care.

  • Problem with trasferring music from itunes to Iphone 3Gs.

    Hi
    I have a problem with trasferring music from Itunes to Iphone and that is,
    as soon as I finish transferring music to my Iphone, Itunes suddenly stops at the stage of where it says (at the top-centre of the screen), 'Sync Min's Iphone'.
    Due to this reason, I've restored my Iphone a couple of times and reinstalled itunes but same problem occurs whenever I try to transfer music.
    It appears music are successfully transfered since I could play the music on my Iphone but I wanna fix the problem since it's pretty annoying.
    is there anything I can do about it?
    Thanks

    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (8.2.1?). If so, I'd reinstall iTunes, if the phone is otherwise working fine.

  • Transferring music from itunes on to a different iphone

    transferring music from itunes on to a different iphone, why doesn't it work?

    Perhaps you can provide some additional details as to your issue then you'll get some helpful responses.
    I sync music from iTunes on my PC to multiple iPhones/iPod/iPad without issue. What are you trying to do exactly?

  • I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay.  Works perfectly with my iPod Touch.  The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect.  Running latest IOS software.

    I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay.  Works perfectly with my iPod Touch.  The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect.  Running latest IOS software.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    You said:
    No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this. 
    That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

  • Transferring music from itunes to ipod

    Trouble transfering music from itunes to my iopd. have updated ipod but still having trouble.

    OK so first thing is, is the iPod set for manual or auto updating? If you are using iTunes 7, click on the iPod icon in iTunes and check the settings. For earlier versions go to iTunes preferences and pick the iPod. Typically you have three choices, Auto Updating, Auto Updating of selected playlists only, and finally Manual updating.
    And to clear up your confusion, yes, you can always import your own CDs and put that music on your iPod without restriction.

  • Transfering music from iTunes to my motorokr

    I have just gotten a motorokr phone and am trying to transfer music from iTunes to it. First I used a card reader and the card that came with the phone. It worked once and then the reader quit coming up on my desktop. It was not reading the card anymore. Then, after talking to Motorola help, I used the usb cable and my phone to upload the music . The same thing happened. After successfully using it once, it doesn't show up on my desktop. Any info or help for this problem?

    hi ssr!

  • Transferring Music from iTunes problem

    This may be an obvious one but is there a way I can drag and drop music from iTunes to my iPhone like I can with my iPods? Having to check boxes and synch all the time doesn't feel like the best way to do it all the time.
    Thx.

    Ansuz82,
    One thing that is convenient about the playlist method is you can add a song to the playlist even if you don't have the iPhone connected. The next time the iPhone is connected, the song will be copied to the iPhone.
    As my profile mentions I have 3 children. My two oldest like the iPhone, and when I am home, I don't get to use it all that often. However, if I want to have a song on it for the commute to work, I just put it on the playlist and when I plug it in in the evening to sync and charge the iPhone will be added to it.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • HT1373 transferring music from itunes to new ipod

    hi, trying to transfer my purchased music from itunes to my ipod.  just downloaded itunes 11 and using a new ipod. in the past with itunes 9, my devise appreared in the informaiton bar and i was able to drag music into it.  with this new version, i dont see my devise, and not sure how to get my music on there.
    thanks,
    angela

    First things first do you have the menu bar on? Second, have you tried plugging the usb into a different port? ALSO once device is seen in itunes, go to the summary tab & click manage music manually. You should still be able to click & drag.

  • Transfering music from iTunes to iPhone

    I'm having trouble moving music from iTunes to my iPhone. I have looked for answers everywhere, and it all says to create a playlist and select the playlist to transfer. However, my iTunes won't let me do that. It will only let me sync everything, replacing all my music on my iPhone. Help!

    However, my iTunes won't let me do that.
    It won't let or you don't know how to do it?
    Create a playlist and add the songs you want on your iPhone.
    Plug in the iPhone and select it in iTunes.
    Click the Music tab.
    Tick Sync music.
    Select *Selected playlists* in the drop down box and tick the playlists you want to sync to the iPhone.
