How to transfer music from home shared computer to ipod

The laptop my ipod is physically connected to has no music on it's hard drive.  I remotely access all of my files which are on a home shared media server.  I can view, play and edit my home shared music remotely with my laptop with no problem.  When trying to move those files from the home shared hard drive to the ipod it will not allow it.  In the menu that appears to the right when dragging files, the ipod is not shown in the list.  If I move home shared files physically to my laptop and then attempt to drag them to the right the ipod is shown in the list.  Is there any way to allow this type of transfer without moving the files to my laptop?

The "iPod" part can really be any drive or DVD-R or whatever your can fit the library onto.

    You don't.  The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  the only exception is itunes purchases.
    The iphone is not a backup device.

  • How to transfer music from iphone to computer?

    My computer crashed and after repairing all my itunes backup files are gone.There’re almost 500 songs in it…But I still have those music on my iphone, so can I transfer the music back to computer from my iphone?

    Pop into iTunes and choose File –> New Playlist.Now you can just drag and drop music from your iTunes library (in iTunes, needless to say) into this new playlist. When you're ready, you'll see a bunch of music happily ensconced in the playlist.Cool. Now click on the "Music" tab and you'll see that you can select "sync playlist". Do that, then select the new iPhone sync playlist you've created.Set things up just as I have shown and that's all there is to it. Now click "Sync" in iTunes and it'll synchronize your playlist with the iPhone music library and next time you click on that ole' "iPod" button on the iPhone, your selections from you music library will be present.You may also follow this guideHow to Transfer Music from iPhone to Computer

    Do I download itunes on my new computer before trying to home share with my old itunes account from my old computer?

    Install iTunes.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
    Using Home Sharing will only cause problems.  Search the forums, people regularly post here regarding problems with moving media using Home Sharing, it simply is not reliable.

  • HT1848 how tto transfer music from iphone to computer?

    how can i tranfer music files from iphone 4s to my laptop ????

    If it's iTunes purchased music then File > Devices > Transfer Purchases should copy them over. If it's music from other sources (e.g. CDs), and you don't have it elsewhere, then there are some third-party programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy it back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • How to transfer music from an old computer to a new one without losing CD's that were loaded?

    When I previously loaded my CD collection to my 1st laptop, I loaded it directly to iTunes. Now I have upgraded my laptop, and would like to transfer all of that music to my iTunes account on the new one. However, when I load iTunes, I only have the option to transfer the purchases made from iTunes (music only, it is not transfering the apps I purchased)
    Is there a way to transfer all of my music (uploaded from my CD's) to the new computer, without having to go back and physically put each CD in the new computer & upload the songs again? Also, how do I get my purchased apps & free apps to transfer as well?
    I appreciate any help.

    If you still have the old laptop use iTunes on it to go to the File menu item Library > Back Up to Disc...
    You can use this to create a backup copy of your entire iTunes library and load it into the iTunes on your new computer.

    how to transfer music from iphone to new computer

    iTunes will transfer your purchases from your iPhone to your new computer by using File>Transfer Purchases. For the rest of the content that’s on your iPhone use a program called TouchCopy which works on Windows and the Mac. It transferred my music, photos, contacts and SMS to my new computer very well.

  • HT1848 How do you transfer music from one authorized computer to an iphone?

    I want to transfer music from my old computer to my iphone, which I have made an authorized computer.

    An iPhone can only be managed from one library. Transfer the music to the computer with that library or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • How to transfer music from iPhone 3GS to 4s

    I need help on how to transfer music from my old iPhone 3GS to my new iPhone 4s.  Thanks

    Apple's method is you sync the new phone to the same iTunes library you used with the old phone. You do not do a phone-to-phone transfer nor do you transfer items (except iTunes Store purchases ) from a phone to a computer.  Your computer's iTunes is the master and up-to-date repository of your media.
