How to transfer library when old computer gone and old iPod gone
I recently got a new iPod Nano (lost the old one). I transferred some songs from my library to the iPod but not all the ones I want now. Then my old laptop died completely--no access to library. I can SEE the old songs on iTunes. How do I transfer them to new computer if the old computer is gone? This is driving me crazy!
I wonder if you might know how to answer this somewhat related question: I, unfortunately, copied my iTunes music library onto an external hard drive before I read about the consolidating option. Stupidly, I then did the consolidation. Now I have each song listed twice in my library and one of each is an orphan, so I have to manually locate each one. That's a lot of music! Is there a way to undo my stupidity?

HT1209 how to transfer music from old iPod nano to new iPod touch
how to transfer music from old iPod nano to new iPod touch ?
The 1st and 2nd gen iPod shuffle can only be used with one iTunes library (not "account") at a time. Your Apple ID and password does not matter. (Later shuffles can be used with more than one iTunes library, IF it is set to use the Manually manage music option.)
So, if you sync it with a different iTunes library, the previous content will be replaced. You need to offload the existing content to your new computer's drive as the first step.
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. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to the iTunes library. After confirming all of your songs are there, sync your shuffle with that iTunes library. -
HT3819 computers in 2 different countries, how to transfer library to new computer
Hi does anyone know if it is possible to transfer my library from a computer in Australia to my new computer in Uk??
Hi...
Purchases made from one country cannot be used in another.
And be aware for iTunes purchases, your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

How to transfer songs from old ipod mini to pc
I am trying to transfer my music library to my old iPod mini into my pc iTunes library. I havent ever connected this iPod to this pc. It hasnt been turned on in at least a year. The library is showing up in iTunes but not an option to transfer music to iTunes library. Any suggestions?

How to transfer songs from old ipod to new ipod
i just recently purchased a new ipod touch i use to have and old ipod with a click wheel dinosaur anyway i want to know if anyone can help me transfer all my old songs? i have like over 1,000 and i don't have any of those songs anymore on my new computer is there a way to transfer them to my new ipod or am i screwed???? HELP!
THANKS
katI don't have a Touch or anything, but I'd imagine that you'd first need to connect your old ipod to your computer and get all your songs into your itunes from there. unless they're all already on your itunes. then just connect the iTouch and reload it.
of course...I don't know if it's possible to import all your songs from iPod to computer, I've never had to do that. -
Old PC Windows XP. Now Purchasing a new PC(Windows 7). Will need to transfer existing Itunes account/music/apps to the new PC. Once done, will existing Ipods be recognized on the new PC so that syncing and transfers are not an issue. I know that when I connect our Ipods to our second PC Iwe have limited options when it comes to syncing/transferring.
As long as you are syncing to the same library you were before then it should be a relatively seamless transition. To move the entire library:
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

How to transfer music from old ipod to newer ipod
When I attempt to transfer, itunes sync would only allow to transfer if you clear ipod to allow transfer from another computer. unfortunately it cleared the external hardrive that had all the music not the ipod itself. is there a step by step way tutorial to do this correctly?
Go to iTunes, sync new iPad and all your music should be there.

How can i transfer picture from old iPod to my computer
how can i transfer picture from old iPod to my computer
Are these pictures on your iPod no longer stored on your PC or in a backup somewhere? If so, you'll need the help of third party software to assist you with the task of extracting the photos from your iPod to your PC. Keep in mind that these synced photos are no longer in their full resolution, but instead are scaled down thumbnails of the original.
If you stored these photos in full resolution, see this article for instructions on copying them from your iPod back to your PC.
Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod
Once the photos are on your PC again, you can configure them to sync to your iPhone.

i bought a used iphone 4 today. how to transfer all my old and important data including apps and email settings from old iphone 3gs to the used iphone 4? that means, making the iphone 4 just like the iphone 3gs?
Well, you sink everything on your 3GS onto your laptop/computer. Then you reset your iPhone 4. When you are restarting it, add all those apps music (ect) On to it. It seems difucult but for more info call Apple. I did that and he lead me step by step on how to do it. Well hope this helped~~

I have an older IPOD that has not been synced to Itunes for seceral yeras. I no longer have the same computer or e-mail address. How can I sync my old IPOD material to my new Itunes account?
Your email address (used as your Apple ID) does not matter, because iPods are not directly linked to a particular Apple ID.
NOTE: You can still use your old Apple ID, even if your that email address is no longer valid. As long as you remember your Apple ID password. Go here and click on Manage your Apple ID.
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
You can change the primary email address used by Apple, although the Apple ID remains the same.
Back to the iPod. iTunes syncing is generally in one direction only, from the computer's iTunes library to the iPod. You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, 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. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your new iTunes library. After confirming everything is there, sync your iPod to that library. If there is any content purchased from the iTunes Store that uses DRM (copy protection), such as audiobooks, videos, and very old song purchases, iTunes may prompt you to authorize your computer with your Apple ID (the one you used to make the purchases).
