  • How to transfer non-purchased music from iPod Nano to new a computer?

    The title pretty much explains my delimma.  I had to buy a new laptop and am trying to move my music library from my Nano to the new computer.  I've installed iTunes and can easily transfer my iTunes purchased music, trouble is a lot of my music has been downloaded from CDs.
    Can anyone help a girl out?

    Create a folder on your desktop. In iTunes select all the songs you want to transfer. Drag them from iTunes to the folder. Transfer the folder to the new computer. Select all the songs in the folder and drag them to the 'Music' section of iTunes.

  • How to transfer non purchased music back to iphone

    Hi
    I recently had to to a system restore on my iphone 3gs as there was a 'bug' apparently during an earlier sync process. I back up to icloud to make things easier which it did.
    One problem, all purchased music does get synced over except 93 songs which i assume are music purchased or transferred to my library using other sources. Is there a way for me to transfer all that music and complete my library the way i originally had it prior to restoring my iphone?
    bdw, i check selected songs from my library which is about half of them to sync with my phone. So, only have of the checked ones (93 of them) are synced over.
    Any help would be grateful, thanks in advance

    All your music should still be in iTunes on your computer. Isn't that the case? Simply select it in iTunes for syncing to your iPhone.
    If for soome reason the iTunes library is incomplete, you can redownload all your purchases again for free. Sign in to iTunes Store using tthe Apple ID you used to purchase the tracks; select Purchased from the Quick Links section in the right-hand sidebar; redownload.
    The title of your post mentiones non-purchased music, but the text body does not. Is that an issue you also have?

  • HT1386 How do I transfer NON purchased music from my ipod nano to my itunes library?

    How do you transfer NON purchased music from iPod Nano to itunes library?  I have icloud.

    You need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

  • How can i transfer non purchased music from my iPod classic to iTunes?

    Recently, my laptop died and geek squad was unable to extract files from hard drive. How do I transfer non purchased music (burned cd's) from my ipod classic to itunes on my new laptop? Apple customer support suggested I engage support communities to find out about 3rd party software (not apple) that can accomplish this. Does anyone know of where I can find such software? Please and thank you

    Back when I had to do something like that, I used Copytrans, http://www.copytrans.net/. You might see if they are what you want.
    At worst, you could open the ipod classic in disk mode, locate the music files, copy them to your hard disk (they won't have good names), and just add them to your library. You'll probably lose play counts and *s with that approach, but it should work.

  • How do I transfer non-purchased music (loaded from personal cd's) from my 4th generation ipod to my itunes library in my computer

    How do I transfer purchased and non-purchased songs (loaded from personal cds) from my Ipod Nano (4th generation) to my Itunes library?

    iTunes only allows you to transfer music purchased from iTunes because of copyright laws. You would need to search the internet for a 3rd party app that allows you to transfer the non-purchased music or get them from the original source, i.e. CD, other music site, etc.

  • How to I transfer non-purchased music from an old PC to my new macbook?

    I have an old Dell laptop that is on its last leg and I have about a weeks worth of non-purchased music that I would like to keep. Most of this music is from CDs that I exported to iTunes on the Dell but no longer have the CDs. Is there a way to transfer this music to my new MacBook Pro? I don't really want to keep ALL of the music so it would be best if I can choose artists/albums to transfer.

    If you don't want to keep all the music the best way is to simply drag the media you want to keep from the PC iTunes window to a flash drive and then add it to iTunes on the Mac.  Hopefully the music isn't stored in WMA format because iTunes on a Mac cannot read that at all, and hopefully it isn't stored as WAV because it will lose all its labels during the transfer using this particular method.
    There could potentially be issues with losing artwork too depending upon how the file artwork was initially added.

  • Non-purchased music from iPod to transfer to iMac

    Is there any software that's recommended to transfer non-purchased items from your iPod to your iMac?

    * I see the music in my itunes, but there is no folder! How can that be??*
    The files are hidden. Did you read the link I posted above? It contains instructions for both Mac and Windows to unhide the files.\
    *Side note: My ipod says "do not disconnect" could that have something to do with it?*
    It has nothing to do with it, your iPod is either enabled for disk use, set to manual update or both. Setting an iPod to manual update enables disk use by default. When using an iPod in enabled for disk use the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • I need to transfer non-purchased music itunes to iphone

    In a nutshell. 2005 I bought a PC and copied my entire CD collection to itunes (1000+ songs). I boughjt an ipod in 2006 and copied all the music to the ipod. I've only ever purchased 1 album from itunes store. The PC died. Dead. Gone forever. I boughjt a macbook and soon realized that only the 1 purchased album could be transfered to the new macbook--odd because the PC was dead--yet the one album showed up on the macbook. Oh well, my ipod was fine to listen my collection via my Dennon receiver which has an ipod connector. Years go by. My brother upgrades to the new iphone4 and gives me his old iphone 3GS with 32G (I think).. While trying to figure out if I can transfer my ipod music to my new/used iphone (my brother went to ATT and they set up the iphone with me as the owner) I purchased the App ipod/iphone to Mac and finnally had all my music coped to the Macbook. Now I want to use my iphone to listen to my collection and it seems I can only transfer the 1 purchased album onto the itunes on the iphone. Please, is there an easy way to get all my non-purchased music onto my iphone? Can I tranfer the music via ipod to iphone without using the Macbook?
    Thanks for any help, from anyone, from anywhere? It seems that ipod/iphone to Mac app does not go the other way: Mac to iphone (at least the support info doesn't say it can)

    Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want ot sync, sync.

  • How do i get my music from ipod onto new computer when old computer died

    my old computer died unexpectedly and now i have a new one ...how do i get my music from ipod to itunes...i don't want to lose it since i have already paid for it...

    1). Connect your iPod to your new computer. If it is set to sync automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. iTunes will only let you copy your purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes 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
    iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    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
    4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
    5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • HT1296 how do i sync all music with ipod on new computer

    How do i sync all music with ipod on new computer

    Connect the iPod and sync with iTunes the same way that you sync any iDevice with iTunes. If you are trying to transfer the music on the iPod into iTunes on the computer - connect the iPod to your computer and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPod name under the devices headings and select transfer purchases. That will transfer the purchase songs on your iPod into your iTunes library.
    If you provide a few more details of what you actually are trying to do, it would be a little easier to provide you with the help that you seek.

  • Transferring non-purchased music from Ipod to ITunes Library

    Can I transfer my music from my Ipod into my ITunes Library I just created on my new laptop? I've been successful at transferring the Purchased Music, but not the music I've downloaded from my CD's into my the ITunes library on my old computer.

    Hi .. we do this all the time..if its downloaded music put your music into a folder.. then use the drop down "file" menu and import the folder...its really easy..but you also have to create a path for your music..this is done via "edit" drop down /preferences/advanced.. and tell it where your music folder is... other wise your music wont play... if you are using your own cd,s its even easier just put cd in.. tick selected songs.. and import cd

  • Cannot transwer new purchased music to ipod on new computer

    We have a new computer that we cannot sync our new music purchased today to our ipod. We installed and syncd itunes 2 months ago when we got the computer, but I think this is the first time we have tried to purchase items on it. I say 'we' as this is my mom and dads issue.
    They originally shared an apple ID. Apple ID 1 was linked to the ipod. Then they needed their own IDs so apple ID2 was created and the IPod was synced to it as that is the account inwhich new content would be purchased. Apple ID1 stayed the same. The new music we bought was on AppleID2. All music shows in previously purchased. It also shows under library/music. We cannot get the newly purchased music onto the IPod. We hit sync and it does not update the new music. I can not drag and drop it on the ipod or in the playlist which it is intended for. I deleted the music and downloaded it again and its still the same issue. i signed on to apple ID1 and still could not move the content on to the ipod.
    IPod touch generation model MC086LL ios 4.2.1
    I do not know what Itunes they are using but I assume its up to date on a 2 month old computer that didnt ask to be update upon load up.
    Any help would be appreciated. Any questions feel free to ask.
