How do I transfer music from ipod 1 to ipod 2 or into my library?

I had a mini ipod which is maxed out. To save space on my itunes & computer i deleted alot of the songs. Now i bought an ipod video & i want to transfer the music from the mini to the ipod video...what do i do?

You need to copy the songs back from your Mini to iTunes and update your new iPod from there, you can't transfer directly from one iPod to another. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
iRepo Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

    How do I transfer music from iPod to iPod and I don't have windows on my MAC. I don't want to have to load everything again onto the new ipod.

    You can't transfer directly from iPod to iPod.
    But it's easy if you are using the sync setting to put music on your first iPod. You just connect the second iPod to your Mac and sync it to your iTunes library, like you did with the first one.
    If you are using the +manually manage music+ setting AND the music on the first iPod is NOT in your iTunes library (only on the iPod), then it is not so easy. You need to use a third party utility first, such as Senuti or YamiPod

    to transfer your music files from the first iPod to the iMac. Put the music into your iTunes library. Sync the second iPod to the iTunes library (or transfer manually if you don't want to use sync for some reason).

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases
    As all of the music came from your computer in the first place, it should still be there and it should be included in your regular backup of your computer.

  • How can I transfer music from iPod to iTunes?

    All of the music on my iPod nano is in my ex-husband's iTunes on a Mac. Now have a Windows PC and want to transfer music from iPod to iTunes. Computer says 'Need to Format disk in Drive E'. Will this lose everything? Not sure what the best way is to do everything but haven't got any way of backing up my iPod at present. Thank you!

    any itunes purchased music can be transferred from phone to pc via hitting the "transfer purchases" option when u right click on the phone under devices in itunes on the computer when it is plugged in. any non-itunes purchased music is stuck on the phone and cannot be transferred to the computer. u will have to load it onto the computer from the original source or from the old computer.

  • How do i transfer music from IPOD to Library

    I have music on my ipod that wasn't purchased thru itunes. I cannot transfer this music from ipod to itunes.Itunes will only transfer purchased music using version 9. Help..............

    The only way that I could advise you to do is by an application which is available for free on the app store called "Isharemusic". The applications has been giving an okay reviews on the Internet sites... That application allows you to send songs you have on your iPod to your email, from there you can download them to your home computer or whatever. Then you could add them to the iTunes library in your own ways.
    Application link to the app store below:

  • How do you transfer music from IPOD to New Computer

    What do you do if you get a new computer? Itunes says IPOD is synced with another library and will not transfer music.

    If you are using 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.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), 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 can be messy.
    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.
    Another free program is Pod Player.

  • How do I transfer music from Ipod to a new computer

    from my old computer I put the music in to my Ipod, but when I tried to transfer the music from the Ipod in to my new computer everything was erased, can someone tell me how I do that.
    Thanks
    Edwinft

    just happened to me last week... you clicked Yes, right? unless you've backed up your music (or held onto your old computer), you're kinda screwed. If you HAVE done either of these, open it back up, save EVERYTHING to a new playlist, and send it to your AppleID... I found this out too late, and I just spent the last 6 days re-importing every single CD I own.....
    Good luck - I know it's devastating, I feel your pain!

  • How do I transfer music from ipod touch

    My iphone is new and has no music.
    My computer crashed a while back and I lost my music.
    All my music is on my iPod touch.
    How do I transfer it back to my iPhone &/or computer?
    Both my iPhone and iPod are showing in my iTunes and I can even play the music from my iPod.
    But I don't seem to be able to either drag & drop, or copy & paste my music.
    Syncing only warns me I will replace the music on my ipod, WHICH I DONT WANT TO DO.
    Help please!

    There are a few programs out there that allow you to transfer your music from your iPod to your computer, but I believe you have to pay for most of them. Here is a link to a program I know of:
    http://www.digidna.net/tuneaid/
    There are other programs out there that will do the same thing, so I would start doing some searches on google and see what you find. I also found this article on Apple's website: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329
