How to use old nano ipod on new computer

How to use old nano ipod with new computer

Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library.  If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library.  So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.

  • How do I sync from ipod to new computer

    My old computer died and I have a new one. Just installed itunes but don't want to plug in my ipod because I am worried it will sync with the new empty version. Is there a way to get my music FROM my ipod nano onto my new computer itunes so I don't lose everything? I have both purchased songs as well as from CD's.

    Hi Perilman,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that all of your iTunes media is on an external hard drive and you would like to move that media onto your new Windows computer hard drive. The following article has step by step instructions for this specifically. Part 5 in the External drive section is probably what is going to be most relevant to you.

  • How do I move 2 ipods to new computer?

    Hello Everyone,
    I'm sure this has been asked many times before, but I'm not finding the answer when I search for this.
    I'm an old guy that doesn't use itunes or our ipods much.  So I'm not real familiar with all the use, downloading, etc. that goes with it.
    I have 2 ipods established on my old computer with itunes.  One in my name and the other in my wife's name.  I want un-sync those ipods from the old computer so I can sync them to the new computer.  The last time I tried, the old computer will still turn on.
    The old computer has Windows xp.  The new one has Windows 7.
    I have not downloaded any music at all (but I do want to download some music when I get this straightened out on my new computer).  My itunes only has cd's that I loaded there.  We both use the same itunes library to load our ipods.
    I downloaded itunes on my new computer already.
    How do I un-sync the 2 ipods from the old computer so I can sync and use them on the new computer?  Is there a step-by-step link anyone can refer me to?  I need instructions that don't assume I know anything about this.
    I'm on some car forums and I know it's a pain when someone asks something that's been covered so many times already.  But, I have searched and I'm not seeing what I need. 
    I appreciate your help.
    Thanks,
    Rick

    I did this procedure tonight:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329
    All went well. 
    I did everything using my device.  So my next question is:
    How do I move my wife's ipod nano from the old computer to the new one?
    We used the same library.
    What is de-authorize?
    Since we use the same library:  Can I simply remove her's from the old, and then plug it into the new?
    Or, since I moved the library over, did her's automatically come with it?
    Thanks again.

  • How to get music from ipod onto new computer?

    my old computer crashed and i got a new computer and now i don't know how to get my songs from my ipod onto my new computer. having alot of problems please help!

    All of your media that you bought from iTunes you can restore by plugging in the iPod and then right clicking on the iPod icon in the iTunes side bar and select "Transfer Purchases from (name of your iPod)"
    For songs/movies you ripped yourself:
    If you are on a Mac, look up DeTune... Or Senuti...
    there are other compatible things for other OSes but you will have to search for them

  • How to transfer music on Ipod to new computer.

    Hi,
    My old computer crashed. I now have a new one, but I can't sync my ipod to itunes without it wanting to erase all the music and videos on my ipod. How do I sync it and get my ipod stuff onto my new computer's itunes?
    (I read on here how to do it if I still had my old computer files, but I don't have access to my old crashed computer. Just the music and videos on my Ipod)
    Thanks!!

    Oh my gosh, same problem! I'm so mad because I spent so much time (and money for that matter) downloading everything onto my iPod. Then my hard drive crashed and I hadn't had a chance yet to copy everything. So irritated that I just lost everything. I feel for you. Unfortunately I'll have to go back through and do it all again. I hope you find a way, good luck!

  • How to download songs from ipod to new computer

    I lost my harddrive and my songs are still on my ipod. How do I download the songs from the ipod to the new harddrive.

    iTunes is set up to only let iTunes Store purchases transfer from your iPod to your computer. You can do this by selecting Transfer Purchases From iPod in the File menu. But for any other other media not purchased from iTunes try SharePod. It's a free program that allows you to transfer music from your ipod to your computer.

  • How to get old itunes library into new computer

    imported my itunes folder into my new computer's users music folder via firewire. i had already pulled over itunes music folder. why don't any songs show up in itunes? if i go through the finder i can drill down to the individual track to play. and i can go to itunes > file > library > import and add each song, one at a time. not happening.
    i can't find a thread with a clear instruction on this on the forum either.
    what am i missing?

    okay, i found my problem. i had not changed the name of Itunes folder on the new comp so the transferred folder was called Itunes Music.
    That was not the problem. Don't rename the iTunes music folder.
    The iTunes music folder is inside the iTunes folder.
    The /Music/iTunes/ folder is the entire library.
    You need to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from the old computer.

  • How do I use old playlists on a new computer with my music still on an external drive?

    I have a MacBook Air. I'm getting an external hard drive and plan to copy all of my files, including music, to it from my family Mac Pro. I am planning to keep the music on the external drive as there is not enough room on my laptop. I want to be able to use my playlists from the Mac Pro on my MacBook Air while the music is still on the external drive. Is this possible?

    Drag the entire iTunes library, not just the iTunes Media folder, to the external drive, launch iTunes with the Option key held down, and choose that library. Your playlists will come across.
