How do i synchronize ipod nano music with my new mac. v

How do I sync the music on ipod nao with new mac. Itunes library is almost empty. when i sync my empty library on mac will delete all music on ipod

You should be able to copy iTunes purchases from your iPod to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. For music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs), have you not got a backup of your content on, for example, an external drive ? If not then you will need to find a third-party program that can copy them off the iPod and onto your computer.

  • How do i move ipod nano content to a new Windows computer?  My old computer died and when i try to sync to itunes on my new Windows computer, it says it will erase what's on the ipod.  I can't seem to de-authorize the old computer (it's been recycled).

    Hi, I'm an ipod newbie, and unsure of what product i have-i believe it's an ipod nano, but can't seem to find any info on itunes that will identify my product.
    how do i move ipod nano music to a new Windows 7 computer?  My old computer died and when i try to sync to itunes on my new Windows computer, it says it will erase what's on the ipod.  I can't seem to de-authorize the old computer (it's been recycled).  Does this mean I have to start all over and read in my CD's into itunes?  seems very inflexible/inelegant...
    thanks for your help, sorry if this question has already been answered before!

  • One of the episodes that i had on my IPOD NANO 8GB was removed off when i put a new episode of that tv show that i bought and put it on my IPOD NANO 8GB. How do i get the first episode that i bought back on my Ipod Nano 8GB with the new episode on it?

    I had an episode of a tv show series on my IPOD NANO 8GB. I just bought a new episode of the tv show and I went to put it on my IPOD NANO 8GB and it removed the first episode off my IPOD NANO 8GB. Now, all I have is the new episode of the tv show on my ipod and I can't get the other back on there. How do I get the other episode that I had on there first back on to my IPOD NANO 8GB with the new episode on my ipod?  Please Help Soon.

    Hello Lisa,
    Double check your iPod's sync settings from under it's TV Shows tab in iTunes.  Make sure it is not set up to sync only unwatched episodes.

  • I have a new Mac PC but my IPod touch ITunes account was on my old desk top, how do I get all my music on my new MAC? It appears I might have 2 ITunes accounts which is why my IPod is not synching all the songs, please help.

    I have a new MAC PC with an old IPod Touch that was synch to my old desktop, how do I get the new music on my new MAC if I might have had an old account?

    The article in my previous reply said:
    - Transfer iTunes purchases from iPod to computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - For non-Tunes purchases you need to use a third-party program. Several are discussed in the link in my previous reply
    - Then to sync with the new computer after getting all synced media like apps and music on the new computer yo have to backup the iPod to iTunes and restore from that backup
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

  • How do I transfer music from my iPod nano 4 to my new mac when my old one is broken

    Well, I have an iPod nano 4 and a MacBook Pro (2009 or whatever) with iTunes 11 and my old hard drive broke in it and I lost all my music. I did not have a backup but I realised I still had it all on my nano. I need to transfer it all to my computer without re-downloading all the music but I don't know how. I'm able to open up the iPod in iTunes and look at the music on it, play it and even copy it (when it's connected) but I can't paste it or drag it anywhere. Please will someone help me.

    iTunes will alow you to transfer your itunes purchases (plug in iPod, right click on device in itunes, select transfer purchases). For the rest of your music, try this: http://www.transferpod.com/

  • IPod & iPod nano sync with the same mac

    Hello folks,
    Please share your experience on this matter. Is it possible to automatically sync both iPod and iPod nano in iTunes? Maybe by making a smart list for nano, just that list will automatically upload to iPod nano? Any suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated. Let me know what you have already tried that works.
    Thanx

    I have three iPods: 40GB iPod photo, 2GB black iPod nano and 1GB iPod shuffle. Each one has it's own playlist to auto sync songs from (technically, the 40GB iPod is synchronized manually, but the other two have playlists to sync automatically from). They each have different names so iTunes knows they're each different. So, you shouldn't have any trouble keeping just two iPods separate with your Mac mini or iMac.

  • How can I sync my iPhone music to my new Mac with out loosing my the music I already have in the phone?

    Bought a new Mac and iTunes won't let me sync new music to my phone because I used to sync it in my old Mac.  How can I sync with the new PC with out loosing the music I already have in my phone?

    Copy everything from your old computer to your new one then sync.
    Iphone will sync with one library/computer at a time.  Syncing to another will indeed erase the current content.

  • How can I synchronize Photoshop short cuts with a second Mac?

    Hi there,
    since Photoshop CC 2014 (Version June 2014) Photoshop is supposed to synchronize short cuts via the cloud but it does not and there is no option to do so in the sync preferences. Is this a bug, do I miss something and how can I solve the problem?
    Thanks – matias
    (MacBook Retina 2013 and iMac 2013, latest Yosemite, latest Adobe CC on both)

    Workspaces can be synced in CC 2014.2.2  I was able to upload my settings from my CC 2014 Mac and download them to CC 2014 Windows.
    Keyboard Shortcuts and Menus are saved as part of a Workspace, not by themselves.
    So you would save it as My Custom Workspace, and check keyboard shortcuts and menus in the save workspace dialog.
    You can also use Edit > Presets > Export/Import Presets

  • I have just bought a macbook pro, converting from a pc. How do i now sync my iphone with my new mac without losing everything from phone?

    I would like to find out i can connect 2 iphones to my new macbook pro.  They were both synced with my PC.  I have transfered my libary from the PC to the mac but dsont want to lose everything from iphone.

    This is always fun.
    In iTunes you will need to take some steps.
    First connect to the device to the computer.
    Click the Store button at the top - Click Authorize this Computer- enter in your Credentials for your AppleID
    Once your computer is authorized
    Click File at the top left of the screen and then click Transfer Purchases.
    Once that is finished
    Click on the name of the iPhone under device
    Click the Info tab above the phone in the middle of the screen.
    Check the box's for the content you want to sync,
    Contacts- Addressbook
    Calendars iCal Calendars.
    Dont need to do mail,
    Sync notes - if you want.
    Anything in the Advanced section DO NOT TOUCH.
    Click apply at the bottom right,
    Once that is complete you should be able to sync with this comptuer***
    ***Note***
    Any music that was not purchased from the iTunes store will not transfer only Music Purchased from the iTunes store will transfer..  - so no CD's or Torrented, Downloaded from the interwebz,,
    If you want those types of music to transfer you will have to setup a Wireless shared Folder, or a USB/External drive to transfer it over.

  • Can you use a iPod nano 4G With iTunes 10

    I was wondering can you use a iPod nano 4G with the new  iTunes 10

    Yes.  All previous generations of your iPods should still work with the latest version of iTunes.

    reinstalled my windows operating system and decided to put on windows 8.  After loading all of my music back into a freshly installed itunes, my 4th gen ipod is not recognized by itunes.  My 1st gen ipod nano works with no problem.  I can eliminate any problems with the cable and connection.
    I've stopped and started the service, and also have performed cold reboots.
    Nothing seems to have helped the situation.
    Help!

    Have you tried on another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem?
    The iPod Classic uses different drivers than the Nano
