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 songs from ipod to library

    I am trying to transfer songs from my old ipod to my library and get them on a new ipod. How do I do this? I am so confused

    If you only want to copy your purchases to the computer that can be done using iTunes, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (including purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
    Floola Mac & Windows

    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

  • 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:

  • How to transfer songs from ipod to your library

    hi, sorry to bring up a new question, but recently i have restored my computer and accidently forgot to burn the paid songs from my library to a cd. the songs are still on my ipod, but for some reason it won't let me transfer those songs back to my library. is there anyway to retrieve my lost songs back to my library?

    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.
    There is also CopyPod. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

  • How To Transfer Songs From iPod to iTunes Library

    How do I transfer songs already on my iPod to my iTunes library?

    With the iTunes software, you cannot do this, for copyright and piracy reasons. However, there is software available on the Internet that allow this function.
    This is a popular one:

    If you don't like this one, Google search, and you'll find bunches of results.

  • How to transfer songs from my itunes to my iphone?

    Why are newly purchaced songs in itunes not transferring to iphone?
    Phone is plugged in to my win 7 laptop, and iTunes is showing the phone in the normal way. But synching doesn't make this transfer, and neither will dragging and dropping. What's the problem??

    Hi, epifini. 
    I would double check to make sure that you have selected the options for syncing.  Look over the article below to make sure you have the items that you want selected to sync over.
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12313
    Also, in order to drag and drop media from iTunes to the device, manually manage music needs to be enabled.

  • Cant Figure Out How To Transfer Songs From iPod back to PC????

    I recently got a different computer which I have installed iTunes on and it recognizes my iPod right away but I cant figure out how to get the songs and files from the iPod onto this computer, I'm assuming since its a different computer... so right now it seems like I'm unable to change songs around on my iPod and if I cleared the iPod I'd no longer have any of my songs since they were also on my old computer which is long gone. Your Help is greatly appreciated, Thanks!

    There are a few third party utilities which allow you to back up your ipod and mirror it with your itunes. I use podutil http://www.kennettnet.co.uk/software/podutil.php you can dl it for free and put up with annoying nag screens or part with £10. I have used a couple of time to rebuild my itunes play list etc (and video) and it works a treat. However it does not backup your notes/contacts/calendar...

  • How to transfer songs from Ipod to a New Computer?

    Hey guys
    How can I transfer Ipod music to a new computer? My old computer crashed, and My itunes folders are gone.

    There is an ez way to do this without any programs at all. All you have to do is this: Plug in your iPod and double click my computer. Now click "tools>folder options." In the window that appears, click the "view" tab. Now there should be an option that says "show hidden files and folders." Select that option and click ok. Now open up ur ipod directory. There should be a semi-transparent folder along with the other folders in your ipod directory (Calendar, Contacts, Images, etc.) Open this folder and then open the "Music" folder. Displayed here are a number of folders called "F30" or 31, 32, 33 and so on. In these folders are all your song files on ur iPod. If you save these folders onto your computer you will be able to save them into your itunes library. If the music file names were changed, the information displayed in itunes should still be the same for all the songs and if you had album art it still should be there. After you save your music onto your computer, i suggest that you go back to the folder options and hide the hidden folders again, because some hidden files on the computer are necessary for the computer to run and may be accedentally deleted if still visible, causing the computer to not function correctly. And that is all there is to it. There is no programs needed for this simple process.

  • 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.

    Right click on your device in the device list and choose "transfer purchses" to copy all music bought in iTunes to your new iTunes library.
    For all other media you'll have to use 3rd party software, examples are mentioned in this thread:
