How I take music and organize folders off one iPod and add it to another iPod?

Hello, I'm trying to take music off of my older iPod then place it on a newer iPod and also on my older iPod. I have my music situated in different folders. I would like to keep my folders also on the new iPod can this be done? Also, I'm trying to take the music of my older iPod and place it in iTunes on a newer computer without taking the music that are already in iTunes on my new computer. If this cannot be done, I will have to go through that painstaking task of downloading all 35 GB of music on the iPod and manually do it.

Ideally you would keep all your media in a backed up iTunes library held on a computer. That way you could connect a replacement/additional iPod and quickly restore your media and settings to it.

I want to know how to take music out of other folders in my iTunes...

I can't take music from other folders on my iTunes and put them on my iPod. I want to know how I can do this, because I feel like I have tried everything but I may not have tried everything. Can someone tell me how I can go about doing this; taking music from another folder and or file from my iTunes and put them onto my iPod.

Your post is somewhat confusing. If all of your music is in your iTunes music folder, it should sync to your iPod. If you have music on your system's HD that is not in iTunes, you will need to use the "add file or folder" function in iTunes to bring these other files into the iTunes music folder.

Does anyone how to take music from ipod and put it on to my computer?

does anyone how to take music from ipod and put it on to my computer? i desperatly need to do that so please help me!!!! i will download software if i need to

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 and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.

I deleted all the music on my iPhone, but all the albums still exist. How do I clear and add a fresh batch of music?

I deleted all the music on my iPhone, but all the album artwork still exist. How do I clear and add a fresh batch of music? Also my iTunes no longer recognizes my iPhone under the "devices" tab so I am unable to manually sync. I have disconnected it makes a beep sound when reconnected so I know my computer is finding the phone, the iPhone also appears on Explorer. Stupid question but I can't figure it out and wasting too much time. Thank you.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion. Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new one.
If for some reason you have failed to backup, big mistake, then you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to the computer: File>Transfer Purchases
You may be able to buy a 3rd party program to get any other music off of the iphone ( not supported by Apple).
When you sync the iphone, it will erase the current content and replace with content form the new computer.
"Not happy with itunes right now, more then a bit of a joke"
Not itunes fault that you did not do the very basics and maintain a backup copy.

HT1420 how to transfer music and pictures from iphone to computer

how to transfer music and pictures from iphone to computer

If the music was purchased from iTunes then you should be able to copy them over to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases if you have iTunes 11 on your computer). If the music came from other sources and you don't have a copy of them anywhere else, then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which might be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
For photos taken with the phone then on a PC you can use the windows camera wizard, and on a Mac you can use Image Capture, iPhoto or Aperture : copying photos. To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to a device, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

How to exclude music and pictures from backing with USMT in SCCM 2012 SP1?

How to exclude music and pictures from backing with USMT in SCCM 2012 SP1?
I know we can use config.xml but I m not sure what all steps to take.
Below is my understanding
1. Create Custom.xml file using below
<component context="System" type="Documents">
        <displayName>Test</displayName>
        <role role="Data">
            <rules>
             <unconditionalExclude>
                        <objectSet>
    <script>MigXmlHelper.GenerateDrivePatterns ("* [*.mp3]", "Fixed")</script>
                        </objectSet>
             </unconditionalExclude>
            </rules>
        </role>
    </component>
</migration>
2. Save as Custom.xml.
3. Copy it to USMT source files package in both the x86 and x64 subfolders and update the relevant USMT package distribution points.
I am confused as where in task sequence will we specify the custom.config file.

Edit the miguser.xml file. The default list is as follows:
-<objectSet>
<script>MigXmlHelper.GenerateDrivePatterns ("* [*.qdf]", "Fixed")</script>
<script>MigXmlHelper.GenerateDrivePatterns ("* [*.qsd]", "Fixed")</script>

How to sync music and video from iPhone4 with iPad mini?

I have music and video on my iPhone4 and I just got my iPad mini yesterday. Does anyone know how to sync music and video between two devices?

Apple doesn't enable you to copy certain items from your iPhone to your computer e.g.
- songs that have not been bought in the iTunes store
- photos from photo album (only allows photos transferred from camera roll)
This is frustrating if you have lost these items on your computer - e.g. accidental deletion, hard disk failure.
Its not that its not possible - just that the functionality is not included in iTunes. Its an example of Apple prioritising revenues over customer experience - hey they can do what they want with their reputation but should take care not to frustrate customers too much.
However the Senuti (free) and PhoneView ($20) allows you to transfer items either way between computer and iPhone. Ive tried both and they work great. These are for OS X and there are many other applications available online for both Windows/Mac that allow you to treat the iPhone as just a plugged in disk too. You can try iPod Photo Liberator (Mac & Windows) iPodCopy (Mac and Windows Versions) Keith's iPod Photo Reader (Mac only).
Good luck

I have an extensive aperture library on my computer's hard drive and I want to break it up into separate smaller libraries on external hard drives. How do I take projects from one library and add them to another one?

Coastal,
Frank gave you the exact answer to your question.
However, I would like to ask if you are indeed asking the right question. Do you really want different libraries? The implications are that you have to "switch" libraries to see what's in the others, and so that your searches don't work across all of your pictures? If so, then you asked the right question. If not, you may be more interested in relocating your masters to multiple hard drives so your library gets smaller, instead of breaking up the library.

How do I sync multiple picture folders to my iPod ?

How do I sync multiple picture folders to my iPod touch ? I don't want to create another folder and then copy the desired folders to be synced, into this main folder. All of my pictures are about the size of 5-10 MB. Copying them would mean loss of additional space.

You can only point iTunes at one folder for syncing to the iPod. You can however selectively choose which subfolders of the main folder are included. I use a Photos folder inside iTunes\iTunes Media and move the folders that I want on my device into that, but the parent folder could be anywhere that suits you.
