Hey chaisson15,
It may be easier to move your music to your new computer from your old PC. You can read up on how to do so here:

  • How do I transfer my music from my old Windows iPod to my new Mac?

    I just got myself a new Intel based Mac and I wanted to transfer all the music that I have on my Windows formatted iPod to my Mac. How exactly can I accomplish this? Now, I'm not too fancy with all these computer terms and all so easy to understand language would be appreciated.
    In case if needed, my old PC was running windows XP.

    Hi there,
    Try Senuti http://www.fadingred.org/senuti/ it should do the job.

    Copy the entire iTunes folder from \Users\<User>\Music on the old drive into your music folder on the new computer.
    Or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

    You'll need to copy the music from the old iPod back to iTunes first before you can transfer it to your new iPod. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • Is it possible to transfer all music from an i-pod classic onto the computer's i-tunes platform by syncing or any other means??

    Is it possible to transfer all music from an i-pod classic onto the computer's i-tunes platform by syncing or any other means??

    If at all possible, keep the pc alive.  You will need a place to backup your stuff that will not go to the cloud.  If your pc supports the current version of I tunes, then load it up and make that your central storage place.   If your problem is simply lack of disk space on the pc, external USB drives are pretty cheap.
    In any event, you will need I tunes to get the non purchased music o to your pad, so you will need a pc at some point.

  • I want to transfer a song from my I-pod classic to my computer Mac G 5 How do I do this? Jim

    I want to transfer one song from my I-POD Classic to my I tunes library on my Mac G5 tower computer, How do I do this?
    Jim

    If this is a sing that you have purchased and downloaded from iTunes there should be no problem to re-download it from iTunes  to your G5:
    If it is a song that you ripped from an audio CD then you will need a utility such as Senuti (open source, free download)
    http://download.cnet.com/Senuti/3000-18546_4-49674.html
    Normally, songs are intended to go in one direction: from CD or iTunes Store to Mac to iPod, not from iPod to Mac.  

  • How do I transfer the music from my phone to my iTunes on my Mac?

    I recently tried to download OS X Mavericks and it totally messed up my computer. I fixed it but everything on my laptop is gone )): I really want all of my music back! The music is on my iPhone 5, how do I transfer it into my iTunes library? Not all of it was downloaded from iTunes, so only some showed up after signing into my iTunes account.

    The iphone is not a backup/storage device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.
    The exception is itunes purchases.  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • How can I transfer my music from my iPod (4G Touch) to a new computer with windows 7?

    Help.  My old computer crashed and all my music from my CDs is still on my iPod but I need to get it into itunes onmy new computer with windows 7.  I have found a number of procedures online that apparently work for earlier versions of windows but i can't figure them out for windows 7.  Any suggestions from folks who have solved this proble would be appreciated.

    - Connect the iPod to the computer and transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - To transfer other music you will nee a third-party program like those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - If you have synced photos then you will have to use a paid program like TouchCopy or PhoneView. Those also do music
    - Then connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note that the backup does not contain synced media like app and music.

  • How do I transfer my music from an external hard drive to my new computer?

    I have downloaded itunes but it would take for ever to individually copy each song & regroup them into genres.  Before I got rid of my old computer I copied itunes on an external harddrive as well as my entire playlist.  I thought I could just sync my ipod nano to the new itunes program but apperently not. 

    Did you import the music on the external hard drive into your iTunes library on your new PC or point iTunes at the location of your library stored on the external hard drive?

  • How can I transfer my music from ipod nano to iphone?

    hi,
    i'm seriously considering buying an iphone. but before i do, i just have a couple of questions:
    1. How can I transfer my music from ipod nano to iphone?
    2. Will there be an iphone with higher memory capacity than 16gb? If so, when will it be out. (If there will be memory sizes of ipod similar to ipod classic, then i think it's better if i wait a little longer considering that there's only little difference in the price).
    Thank you!!

    I don't believe there will be an iPhone with storage capacity equivalent to the iPod Classic anytime soon - at least not within the next month, or even this year or the next.
    The iPod Classic has a hard drive. The iPod Touch and iPhone have Flash storage. Flash storage is more expensive than the hard drive equivalent, but the cost for Flash storage is coming down - supply an demand is probably helping this. The iPod Touch has double the storage capacity of the largest iPhone storage capacity since the iPod Touch doesn't include a cell phone - the case has more room for two 16GB Flash drives. More than likely there will be a 32GB iPhone at some point, but I believe it will be a while before we see a 64GB iPhone or larger approaching the storage capacity that is available with an iPod Classic.
