How do i move songs i had on a previous ipod/ computer to a new computer

I had an ipod classic and have songs and books on an old computer.  I have since replaced the ipod and computer.
I would like to take the old songs and books a put them on my new ipod.

Thanks for responding Deggie!  However, this didn't help me.  I guess I should fill you in on the whole story....I got the older iPod Nano from my son.  It had some songs already on it plus I uploaded a few more from CD's. I don't seem to have any of these songs listed in the iTunes library & can only see them on "on this iPod".  I just bought a brand new iPod Nano, 7th generation, I think, & want to move the songs from the "old" Nano to the new one.  I'm afraid of I sync to iTunes & there aren't any other songs listed that I'll lose all my songs from the "old" iPod.  I tried to a back up of the "old" iPod but that option is greyed out on the menu.  Any ideas of what I can do to get the songs moved over?  I saw a software prodcut listed in another discussion called "iMacsoft iPod to PC Transfer."  Is this something I could use to do this?  Are there any "freeware" software tools that do the same thing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Only sequentially. Each time you switch accounts, it will overwite the existing content with the new content.  As AnaMusic says, you cannot sync one device with two AppleID accounts at the same time, or even with the same AppleID on different computers for the same type of content (you could, for example, sync music to one computer, and calendars to a different computer, but not music to two different computers, even if they're the same AppleID). 
    Also, if you want to *re-download* content directly form the iTunes store (assuming it's an iPod Touch), you can only change IDs every 90 days.

  • HT1751 how do i move songs that are in separate albums into the same album?

    how do i move songs that are in separate albums into the same album?

    Of course it should, but if it doesn't do you want fix it or leave it broken? iTunes draws on the CDDB database for track details. That database is incomplete, contains errors, and isn't explicitly designed to be "iTunes friendly". If you download an album from the iTunes store then the tracks should normally be grouped together, although there are ways of sorting the Songs view that will always break things up. If you purchase from Amazon, elsewhere, or rip your CDs then you may sometimes need to make a minor update to the tags to tidy things up. Which workaroud is needed depends on context, but the most common one of setting an Album Artist takes a few seconds.

  • How do I move songs/files on the iPod?

    I would like to clean up some of the songs on my new 80 GB Video iPod. I notice that the same musical groups with slightly different spellings will be listed under artists with both spellings (example: Ah Ha & a-Ha). How do I move songs from one directory (a-Ha to Ah Ha)? I think I am running into problems because I used an mp3 cd to load some of these songs into iTunes (I dragged them to iTunes from the CD in Windows explorer). Also, I am unable to create a "Workout" playlist on the iPod. I can do this in iTunes, but the playlist and the songs do not appear on my iPod. There are 2 other playlists that were created when I dragged the files from the hard drive to iTunes. Is that the problem I am having? Another question: would it be best to move all my songs from their sources into the \My Music\iTunes directory? Will doing this make the songs from that directory synch with my iPod? Thank you.

    "How do I move songs from one directory (a-Ha to Ah Ha)?"
    Best way to cure this is to go into iTunes, highlight that artist and/or songs, right click on them and select "get info".
    This brings up the multiple song info window. If you see the "artist" field is left blank, then there is a discrepancy with that name.
    So to correct this, in the artist or song box retype the name, as you would like it, and then click ok. You should do this even if no mistakes are immediately visible.
    Re sync this new artist/song info to your iPod.
    If you want the music in your iTunes library to be accessible to it and transferrable to the ipod, all the music should be in your iTunes folder which is usually found at my music/iTunes/iTunes music.
    You can do this by using the advanced/consolidate option in iTunes. This creates a copy of all the music found on your computer and places it in the iTunes music folder.

    how do i move songs from computer to ipod

    Maybe I did it wrong, but I tried that, and nothing changed. I bought the songs on iTunes, not through my iPod...but thank you anyway. I also tried the "manage music manually" setting on my iPod and nothing changed either. What should I see when I try that?

  • How do I move songs from iTunes to Media player?

    How do I move songs from iTunes to Media player.  I used to just drag them over but I won't let me anymore.

    You should be able to download a codec that will allow Windows Media Player to play non-protected AAC files from the iTunes library. I believe this function is built in to WMP for Windows 7 and 8.
    See this post for general tips for sharing media between WMP and iTunes libraries.

    @allamb & stephanW
    I found this thread via a search, I have a new iphone 5 (also i am completely new to iphone, having been the last few years on android) and i have spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to add a song to a playlist.
    You see i sit a work and listen to dozens of tunes, and i want to add a paticular song to a particular play list, and low and behold I can't, excuse my special characters but "What the f#%k itunes/apple??? - how can this be? Such a commonly needed function and for itunes to be the number music player in the world not to have this feature is ludicrus.
    I am lucky that i only have about 500 songs on my iphone thus far, i feel sorry for stephanW with 4000+ !!
    Apple - please fix  - this is schoolboy programming stuff...

    How do I move music from my nano to my ipod touch?

    You don't.
    You sync your ipods to itunes on your computer.
    Everything on your Nano had to come from your computer in the first place, so it should still be there.  Sync it from itunes to the ipod touch.

  • How do I move booksmark to another machine without replacing the bookmarks on the new machine, i.e combine a number of bookmark files

    I'm setting up a laptop and want to have all the bookmarks from my desk machine to be moved there from different accounts, but in end up in one file so that I don't have to have loads of separate accounts.

    You need to combine all the links to one HTML file.
    You only need a file with Anchor links like this:

    If you export bookmarks to an HTML file then you create a copy of your bookmarks and you edit that copy and you do not affect the original bookmarks.

    You’re going to have a very big problem and very soon. These missing pics are the beginning of trouble.
    the total size of all my folders on my 60gb internal drive is 46.5 gb, yet only 1.9 gb is available,
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of free space on the hard drive for normal OS operations such as virtual memory and temporary files. Without this space the machine slows down as the OS hunts for free space, files become fragmented and applications begin to crash. The risk of data corruption increases exponentially.
    You must, as a matter of urgency, make space on the drive. I cannot stress this enough.
    You may be able to recover the pics from your camera card using an app such as MediaRecover
