How do I keep my music on my ipod when transferring to new itunes

I downloaded itunes onto my laptop and I want to transfer my songs from my ipod onto this itunes.  The original itunes with all my music is on a desktop computer and stored away.  The new itunes keeps wanting to "sync and erase" all my memory.  How can I keep my memory from getting erased on this new itunes?

Unfortunately there is no way to transfer the music from your iPod to your new library without the help of third part software.  However you can always download all your purchased music again to your new library by following the steps here. Anything from CD's or other sources will have to be manually imported but once all of that music is in there, then you can confidently erase and sync, knowing that all your music will be erased but synced back over.

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  the only exception is ituens purchases.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

    You should be able to copy iTunes purchases to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. For music that you've bought from other sources or copied from your own CDs then have you not got a backup of them on, for example, an external drive that you can copy onto the computer ? If not then you will need to find a third-party program to copy them off - this post mentions some that were around a couple of years ago, whether they still exist and work I don't know.

  • How do I retrieve the music off my iPod after installing a new hard drive on my laptop

    My laptop harddrive was just replaced, and I didn't have my iTunes backed up. When I went to sync my iPod with my new iTunes, it says that my iPod is already synced to another iTunes library, so I can't sync it to mine. But that old one was on my dead hard drive. How can I retrieve my music off my iPod?

    Copy the entire iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

    Unfortunely, all movies and songs purchased in iTunes will be lost...you'll have to purchase them again! Any applications you've purchased, you can download again for free.
    Music Rescue is a program you can use to transfer any and all data (music, movies, pictures..) from your iPod to your computer, and iTunes.

    how can I add the content from a iPod Nano to a new iTunes account

    On the computer in iTunes log into her Apple ID and then see if recent purchases are shown by clicking on her name in iTunes, entering her password and then selecting the option. If there is nothing there then she bought that music with a different Apple ID.
    You can use TouchCopy to move all the songs on the iPod to the computer. Then try to play one of the purchase songs and it should show the account used to purchase it and ask for the password.

    If the photos were synced to the iPod from another computer you will need a third-party program like PhoneView or TouchCopy.

  • How can I restore all the music from my iPod touch to a new iTunes/computer?

    I have an iPod touch 4th gen running on iOS6, a computer running on Windows 7, and iTunes version 10.7.0.21 (newest as updated today).
    Basically my laptop got destroyed beyond repair, the laptop that my iPod was synched to.
    I have iTunes now on another computer, how can I get my music from my iPod to the iTunes on the new computer? Even getting it onto the computer will do at this point, as I don't want to have to download/rip CDs to get my entire music collection back.
    When my iPod is plugged in I can click on 'transfer purchases' but this only restores the apps to iTunes.
    When I had my old iPod classic, and was using an older version of iTunes, when I plugged my iPod into a new iTunes it said something along the lines of 'there is music on this iPod that is not currently in your iTunes, would you like to transfer to iTunes?' But there is no option like this now, I don't know if it's because its a different and newer iPod, or because a newer version of iTunes.
    Please tell me there's a way to copy all my music from my iPod to my computer, and preferably straight into iTunes so I don't have to input all the info again.
    Don'tcha just miss the old 'copy and paste music' mp3 players you had as a kid? *sighs at how complicated technology got*
