How to transfer files from ipod nano to itunes

how do I transfer files from my ipod nano (5th gen) to a new computer.  All old files on old computer gone.
Thanks

You can only transfer music bought from the iTunes store in both directions, i.e. computer to iPod and iPod to computer.  Other music that you've ripped from CDs you own or that you've downloaded from somewhere other than the iTunes store can only be transferred in one direction, i.e. computer to iPod.  You cannot transfer it from iPod to computer.
That said, there is however third party software that you can buy that will transfer files from the iPod to the computer.  Google will help you on that.  Also read this article:

    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 designed for 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 purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased 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):

  • How to transfer photos from iPod Nano 3rd Generation to my Mac (or PC)?

    i have a very old iPod, with pictures on it that i really need them, and i dont have the original ones on the PC! i tried iPhoto and Image Capture as ways to transfer them to PC but it didnt connect or show on them... i tried to connect the ipod to windows and copy them fro My Computer, but only certain pictures are found, not all the pics on th ipod... is there anyway to get them on PC or even on iPhone device?

    You are going to have to use 3rd party software in order to move them, use Google to search for one. Keep in mind unless you copied them to your Nano as part of disk storage (in other words if you synced them) they will be very small thumbnails when you get them on your PC.

  • How to transfer songs from iPod Nano to 3GS iPhone

    I have a problem-I recently purchased a new notebook.When I connect my Nano to the itunes web site I can see under devices my songs and audio books are available.I then try to connect up a new iphone that has just been purchased and after configuring it for the computer and account i can not get the songs and audio books downloaded to it.
    I was wondering if I needed to save the songs to the library first on the new computer as they are not showing as being there.
    I have downloaded all updated software to the computer and iPhone.

    Syncing of iTunes media content (music, videos, etc.) is one-way - from the computer to the iPhone. Anything you want to transfer to the iPhone must be in your iTunes Library.

    How to transfer pictures from ipod to computer?

    Hey, I've just read your answer regarding Photos folder in an G5 iPod, I hope you can help, 'cos you know it well! I imported photos from my PC to this folder, and then deleted them out. The problem occured when I realized that I might have also deleted some default running files in the Photos folder. Since then, I have met the error message "The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable" whenever I opened the Folder. I'm unable to import photos now. Would you possibly show me how to fix it? Thanks a lot,

    Thanks in advance

    Thanks Raman and Challa,
    We want to move file from application server to Shared folder, not on local machine. We checked FM which you guys have provided but those are not able to read file from application server.
    We need this program to run in background so that we can use this in daily process chain.
    Appreciate your inputs on this.
    Thanks,
