How do I transfer a few songs from old library without bringing the entire old library to the new one?

I am trying to condense my itunes library from a desktop to a laptop. I only want a few songs from my original library so I can have more room on my ipod, I turned on home sharing so I could import the songs i wanted. then once I imported the select songs and synced my ipod, the entirety of my old library stayed and everything else went on.
itunes is saying that I have about 14.20 GB but my ipod says I only have 1.1 GB left....
please help! thanks!

Here are the screenshots.
Importing is bringing (in this case) a song from a library and bringing it into another library.

    Make a smart playlist of your whole library but only checked songs - #4 on  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1801
    Highlight all files in that playlist, then drag to the other drive.  This isn't preserving any playlists or whatever, just copying files from one drive to another.
    You might want to delete the smart playlist this once you are done because it will probably gobble up resources with that many files.

    how do i transfer already purchased songs from my computer to my new iPhone

    Connect the phone to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if the left-hand sidebar isn't showing then control-S should get it to show) and then use the Music tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select the music that you want in the phone's Music app and and sync/apply that selection.
    If you haven't synced the phone to that computer before then you might also find this page useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • How do i transfer protected purchased songs from my windows 8 computer to my android phone

    I am trying to transfer a few protected purchased songs from my windows 8 pc to my sg3. I can't open the protected songs on my phone with any of the many media players I have tried. I have read that I can buy software to convert the files, but it doesn't make sense for me to have to buy software to play songs that I already paid for. I bought the songs directly through iTunes, so there should be no need for a third party to allow me to listen to those songs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    The first step is to export your TB contacts to a vCard file. Install the [https://freeshell.de//~kaosmos/morecols-en.html MoreFunctionsForAddressBook] add-on ([http://chrisramsden.vfast.co.uk/3_How_to_install_Add-ons_in_Thunderbird.html how to install]), then in Address Book, select an address book, Tools/MoreFunctionsForAddressBook/Actions for addressbooks/Export as vcf (for Ipod). Next, email the vCard file as an attachment to your account, open the attachment on the iPhone and follow the prompts to add the contacts to the phone.

  • How do I transfer my itunes songs from my old pc to my new macbook?

    I am trying to regain my itunes library and want to transfer my songs, but I can't figure out how. I'm currently using a friend's firewire but I don't know how to attempt to use it. Is it possible to use this cord or should I try another way and how?

    Try this article:

    Target disk mode only works between Macs connected through FireWire. You will need an external hard drive for this if transferring from a Windows machine.

  • How do I transfer my Itune songs from old PC to new PC

    I am in the process of purchasing a new Desktop with Windows Vista. My songs on my IPOD Classic 120 has been sync on my old computer with Windows XP.
    I was told my IPOD 120 will not sync into my new computer. So do I transfer my curent songs on my classic to my new computer?

    Be very careful when connecting an iPod full of music to an empty iTunes library.There is very real risk of permanently losing all the music.
    To prevent auto sync, connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'control+shift' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
    If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to a new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
    If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
    When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
    Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    Find out how to do that here.

    For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump and iPodRobot.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

  • How do I transfer my iTunes songs from iPhone to iMac air

    how do i transfer music from iPhone to iMac air

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer. iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.

    How do I transfer photos or videos from my Droid to my computer?

    Hello, I had the same question; however, I've got the "black screen o' death" on my Droid Razr (cannot access anything on the phone/no touchscreen...but I DO get incoming calls through my bluetooth device). My new phone is scheduled to arrive this afternoon but I'd like to try and retrieve my photos/videos to save them if possible.
    I've got the phone connected to the Mac via supplied USB cable but all I see is the MotoCast on the desktop and cannot set the phone to mount as a drive...any workarounds?
    Thanks in advance.

  • How do I transfer my ipod libray from one computer to another?

    I had my library on another computer that I no longer have access to. How do I transfer what is on my ipod onto my itunes library?
    I don't want to lose my 600+ songs!!

    Jolly Giant hasn't posted in around a year...
    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.
