How can i transfer music from my Ipod nano to my new hard drive

Hi, I have a I pod Nano 6th edition.I downloaded music from my CD collection and I purchased a few CD's from ITunes. I had problems with the hard drive and had to have a new hard drive installed. I was advised to save my ITunes library and my photos and any other important documents on my hard drive.I saved everything onto a pen drive.
I have tried to reinstall everything onto my new hard drive. I had no problem with the photos or documents,but the ITunes folders are giving me problems.
I have downloaded the updated ITunes web site onto my new hard drive.I have tried to send the folder from pen drive to the iTunes folder and My Music folder.
I also tried dragging the folder from the pen drive to the my music folder. For some reason 3 tracks from about 4 hundred have arrived in the My Music Folder.
I am afraid to plug my Ipod into the laptop as I was told I could lose every thing
Is there any way to solve my problem??
Help
Jill

How can I transfer music from my iPod touch to my new mac without a backup?

I've seen a lot of tutorials on how to do this from various websites. Some are for windows only and some only apply to iPods that aren't touches. What I want to know is, how can i transfer my music from iPod touch to my Mac without losing everything and without having to buy all my music over again (none of my music was purchased on iTunes)? It'll break my heart that 600 songs are all gone simply because I don't have a backup or I didn't purchase from iTunes. There has to be a way to do this. Help?

You need a third-party program like one of those discussed here.

How can I transfer music from my ipod classic 60GB to my iPhone 4 music library, just by song or whole CD that I have bought? Help needed!

load the current version of I tunes on the laptop and sync the pod. Then sync the phone - you can select all or as much of the music you want to.
Also - if the music on the pod was purchased from the itune store in the first place, you should be able to redownload it to the phone for free, as long as you are using the same apple id that it was bought with.

Can I transfer music from one Ipod touch to a newer generation Ipod touch?

Can I transfer music from one IPod Touch to a newer generation IPod Touch?

- No directly. You have to first get the music in your itunes library on your computer and then sync the music to the new computer.
- You can/should restore you new iPod from the backup of your old iPod to get app date and other things on the new iPod. You will have to reenter passwords since passwords only get restore to the same device. The backup does not contain music so that has to be synced.
- You can transfer iTunes purchased from an iPod to your computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- The follow discussion discusses third-party programs to transfer non-iTunes purchases from an iPod to a computer.

My old MacBook was stolen and now I have all my music still on my IPad but like to get it back in my ITunes as well, is this possible ?

If the music was purchased from the iTunes Store, simply sign into your iTunes Store account on iTunes. From there, go to the main page of the store. Then, on the right, there should be a purchased button. Tap there, and walla! You can download all of your past purchases. If it wasn't from the iTunes Store, use a third party Mac app.
