How to import music on ipod nano to new itunes library on new computer?

I haven't used my ipod in years... Truly it's been about 5 yrs. In those 5 yrs, I've bought a couple new computers... I recently wanted
add/delete music on the ipod but I can't? When I open the iTunes, it shows all of the music I have on the ipod but I can't play or delete anything. I tried researching how to import music but my ipod doesn't show up as a removable disk on my hp laptop. Help?

    How is your iPod configured to sync content from your iTunes library? Any error messages during the sync process? 
    You may want to reset warnings on the device by right->clicking on it under Devices and choosing Reset Warnings.  Then resync the iPod to see if any alerts appear.
    Is this the same computer you normally sync the Nano with?

    - Unless you also have the originals of the  music (CDs), you do not have right to the music.
    - If they were purchased in iTunes and you can transfer them by the following.  You must know and have control of  the iTunes account and password.

  • Can I move my old music from my Nano to my iTunes library without losing it?

    in 10 years 3 computers crashed and I'm the 4th-How do I transfer OLD music from my old Ipod Nano to my iTunes library without losing it. My nano is filled to the brim but I don't want to lose music from CDs I no longer have and the thought of re-purchasing seems crazy.
    Thanks

    The file structure is a little complex. I will use inbox as an example.
    Inbox (a large file with no file extension)
    Inbox.msf ( An index of inbox with tags etc. Can be deleted with only loss of tags)
    Inbox.sdb (a folder, indicating that the folder within Thunderbird has a sub folder.
    POP mail is stored in
    Appdata/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/*.default/Mail/[Server name]/
    Local folder is stored in
    Appdata/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/*.default/Mail/Local Folders/
    As long as you do not overwrite, you can copy and paste whole folder trees into local folders (stuff on your old computer under a mail account is best relocated to local folder and then sorted as necessary afterwards.
    Note that you should delete foldertree.json after making those sorts of copies (it forces a full refresh of the folder tree, no cache) and under no circumstances copy data with Thunderbird running. It can irrevocably corrupt things

    The same way you sync just one. If y want different media on each iPod then only select the items you want synced to each iPod

    Restore from backup if you have one.
    You can also transfer stuff from your iPod if you have one:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/11857427#11857427
    If you are in the US or Canada you can download purchased music from the Purchased link in the iTunes store.
    Otherwise if the disk drive is OK in your Old PC you can remove it and put it in a USB drive enclosure and then use it as an external disk on your new PC, then you copy the muisc from there.

  • I got a new computer and some of my music apparently wasn't backed up to the external hard drive.  I have some of the music that didn't save on an iphone. How do I move the music from the iPhone into my iTunes library on the computer?

    I got a new computer and somehow have lost some of my more recently purchased and or imported music.  I have some of that music on an iphone and some on an ipad.  How do I get the music from those devices into my itunes library without losing everything else?

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    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 properly backed up against loss. 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. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • Will 1st gen ipod touch still work with new itunes library on new computer (transfer didn't work from old computer)

    Ok, so I have a new computer and wanted to transfer my itunes library from my old computer. I could not get the files to transfer. I downloaded the newest version of itunes and see that I can download my previously purchased music to the new computer. I have mp3's that I can add in on my own so I don't have a problem starting over in itunes.
    My question is what happens when I plug in my 1st gen ipod touch and try to sync??? Will it erase what is on my ipod or will I be able to move the stuff from my ipod into my new itunes library?? Any info would be great...I'm happy with how my ipod is set up so I really don't want to mess with a good thing. Also, will I need to update and of my software on my ipod since it's 1st generation??
    Thanks for the help!!

    You can only sync to one iTunes library/computer. If you do sync the iPod is erases and its contents replaced with what is in the iTunes library of the second computer.
    To avoid that see:

    Yes, the 1G works with the latest iTunes.
