How do I download videos from my ipod onto itunes

how do i download videos from my ipod onto itunes?

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.
SharePod is also freeware.

Is there a way at all to put music videos in your ipod nano?

No. The nano is not capable of video playback. You would need the fifth-generation full sized iPod for that.

How to get album art on your iPod nano. Read this.

I have had problems getting artowrk on my nano from my computer but it was only because I didnt have USB 2.0 outlets on my computer. I used a different computer that had USB 2.0 and it worked fine. Just click the little button under your sources in iTunes that says "Show or hide song artwork and video viewer" so it opens and then drag the picture you want into that and it will go on your iPod nano artwork. Remember to have the artwork for your nano enabled though. To get it enabled just click the little icon on the bottom right of iTunes that looks like a iPod nano and click the music tab and then make sure the "Enable artowkr for your iPod nano" box is checked. If you have any other questions just comment this.

I have 2.0 USB on my laptop and pc and it still does not work. Just ot really worried about artwork ecause I don't look at it while it is playing.......

*** How to get Album Art on your iPod Nano: ANSWERED!

I'll start by saying that my iPod Nano would not display ANY album art at all, even though it did in iTunes. I just added 180 albums to my iPod, and they all showed up, perfectly. Here's how I did it:
1) Move all the songs you want on your iPod into the iTunes music library. (Open iTunes, and drag the files over the "LIBRARY" catagory)
2) Click Music, under the LIBRARY heading.
3) Add the artwork to each song/album. I used "iTunes Art Importer". It's a great program, and is really easy to use/download.
4) Connect your iPod to your computer.
5) Remove any songs you have on the iPod.
6) Go to the Music tab, in the iPod control panel.
7) Sync all music files/playlists from your iTunes library.
If you did this correctly, all the album art you added in your iTunes library should display on your iPod. Be sure to have "Display Album Art on this iPod" checked off.

I have 2.0 USB on my laptop and pc and it still does not work. Just ot really worried about artwork ecause I don't look at it while it is playing.......

How do I download music from my ipod nano to my itunes on my new computer?

After buying a new laptop, I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes but after hooking up my iPod nano and turning on my home sharing the songs have not transferred from my iPod to my iTunes. I am not sure what else I need to do. If I sync my iPod and try to update it with my newest song purchases it will erase all of my old songs that are now only on my iPod.

You need to copy your iTunes library from your old computer to your new one. See How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support. If you no longer have access to the old computer (or a backup of your data), see thus user tip: Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. For future reference iPods are not designed or suitable for use a data storage device.
Also, there is a built-in limitation such that any iPod can only be synced with one library a time. When you install iTunes on a new computer, and do not transfer the complete library (database, media, artwork, ...) from your old one, iTunes will recognize this as a different library from that used for previous sync operations and will always erase the current content of the iPod before syncing from the new library.

My 6 yr old wants to download games to her ipod nano can you do this?

Is it possible to download DVDs to your iPod? If so please help me!

I have been very discouraged because I have tryed to get this DVD onto my iPod, but it's not working. I was wondering if it is possible at all to download them, and if you can I would like to know how. Thanks very much!

I really don't know how you would do this--but here is my suggestion. Please give it a try!
Search versiontracker.com for a program called Handbrake. It will convert the information from the DVD to a Quicktime file (.mp4 I believe). I don't know if/how you will be able to get the file onto your iPod and view it though . If I find any information, I'll let you know.
Edit: check this tutorial for how to get the video on your iPod. You can skip to step 6 after Handbrake has finished encoding your video. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/creatingvideo.html I do not know if the .mp4 filetype will work on the iPod

Downloading music from your iPod

The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod to iTunes.

You can sync with one and only one computer at a time. Sycning to another will indeed erase the content from the ipod and replace with content from the new computer.
You should copy everything from the old computer to the new one.

How do you put pictures on your ipod nano?? i was told to go to edit then click prefereces but after that i am completly lost.

Put all the pictures you want to put on your ipod in one folder on your computer. Then, once you're in itunes, click on your ipod (under the devices section). Once you've done this, click on photos at the top and click on the box beside Sync Photos (so there's a tick in the box). It'll say 'sync photos from .......' and then a drop down bar. In the drop down bar it will probably say my pictures or something, click on that. Then click selected folders (unless you want to put all of your pics on) and then tick the folder you want to put on your ipod. Finally, click sync (bottom right hand corner) - it'll load and then your done.

Hi papadork,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you want to add new music from your iTunes Library to your iPod shuffle without erasing what is already on the iPod. The process you are looking for is called manually managing content. Please use the following article as a reference.
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
Manually add or remove content on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod
After following the steps above, you can add individual songs, videos, and playlists from iTunes to your device. To add content to your device:
Select your device.
Click "On this Device."
Then choose "Add to" in the upper right corner.
While viewing the media in your iTunes library, if you drag a song, video, TV show, or Movie a sidebar will appear on the right. You can drag content onto the device. You can also create and modify playlists directly on the device.
You must import songs into iTunes before you can add them to your device. You can drag media files onto the iPod or iPad in iTunes to add them to the device without adding them to the iTunes library.
When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad.
I hope this helps,
-Joe

How do i download music from one ipod to another ipod

how do i download music from one ipod to another ipod ?

It needs to go through your computer's iTunes library. If all the songs on the iPods are already in your computer's iTunes library, just sync each iPod as desired from your iTunes library.
If the songs on your iPods are not in your iTunes library, the approach here is to first off-load the song files from the iPods to your computer's hard drive. Then, add the song files to your iTunes library, so that it is "consolidated" with ALL of your music.
You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store. However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once you have ALL of your music in one iTunes library on your computer, sync your iPods as desired.
