How Can I Sync Music from an old Playlist??

Hi clcaldwell46,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you have signed into your Apple ID and are seeing all of your purchases on your new Windows 8 computer. The reason you may not be able to sync is because although you can see the music and stream it, it may not actually be located locally on your computer. Please use the attached article as a reference and for steps to download all of your purchased music to your iTunes library.
Download past purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
Download previous purchases on Mac or PC
Make sure your Mac or PC meets these system requirements:
iTunes 10.3 or later
You need iTunes 10.6 or later to download previously purchased movies and TV shows.
iTunes account in a country where iTunes in the Cloud is available
iTunes Store
     1. Open iTunes and go to the iTunes Store.
     2. Click Purchased in the Quick Links section.
     3. Select the content type that you want to download (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, or Books).
     4. Select Not in My Library to view purchased content that isn't on your computer.
     5. Find the item that you want to download. You can browse using the menu to the left. If you have more than 2,000 songs, you will see Recent Purchases instead of All Songs or Albums.
     6. Click the Download icon next to the item you want to download.
If an item is already in your library, the Download icon won't appear.
Have a great day,
Joe

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.

When I try to sync music from iTunes playlist to my Ipod shuffle it says the iPod is synced to a different liabrary. It asks if I want to delete the music already on the Ipod and sync it to "this" library. I don't want to lose the music already on Ipod.

Please help. I have no idea why this is happening and I'm kinda new to using iTunes. I'm trying to sync music from a playlist on my iTunes account onto my iPod Shuffle (older Shuffle). I use Windows XP on my laptop. When I try moving the songs to the iPod it says the iPod is synced to another library. I didn't know I had another library (but I guess it is possible because I used iTunes a few years ago too).
The only option I get is to delete the music already on the iPod and sync the iPod to "this" library. I really don't want to lose the music already on the iPod. PLEASE HELP. I'm tech challenged to say the least.

See this post.

How do i sync music from old imac to new iphone?

I synced Handels music cd to old imac and nano. Then I bought new imac and new iphone. Never did migration. The new iphone is synced with new imac. I lost the Handel cd and I wanted to get the Handels music onto my new iphone. I want to transfer handels music from old imac (or old nano) to new imac or new iphone. Is this possible?
Thanks for any input.
Tim

You cannot transfer it directly to the iPhone, but you can copy the music to the new Mac. If they are on the same network you can drag the folder containing the music from the old iMac to the desktop on the new Mac. Then on the new mac drag and drop that folder onto iTunes in the dock bar. If they are not on the same network copy the folder to a data CD on the old Mac, then put the CD in the new Mac and drag the folder from the CD to iTunes.

how do I sync music from that I have downloaded onto itunes on to iphone 4 ?

Connect the phone to your computer and select it on the left-handd sidebar of your computer's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac), and then use the Music tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync your music to your phone's Music app
If you haven't synced the phone to that computer before then you may find this page useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

How to sync music from Itunes to iPad without having to restore or erase iPad's content

Hi All,
Now I am trying to sync music from itunes onto my iPad, however when I plug it into my itunes, it comes up with a message saying 'Welcome to the new iPad' and says to set my iPad up already as a new iPad. And when I go to file and click devices, it disables me to open it, so therefore I cannot sync nor backup the iPad. Also there is no backup for this iPad already as it is a fairly new iPad, but already has so much content. Is there any other way to transfer the music from my itunes library to my iPad without having to restore it or even erase the iPad?
Thanks!
iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi

I open up iTunes on my PC and then plug in my iPad. It then displays under devices on the left-hand side in iTunes. I then click on my iPad listed under devices. I have the option of clicking the sync button in the lower right hand side of the screen. Once I click sync, then the iPad will visually indicate that it is syncing. When it is finished syncing, the text message will be gone on your iPad and you can then use it. The items should be stored in iPod app on the iPad.

How to transfer music from old to new IPod

I recently bought a new 30GB IPod Photo. How can I get the music from my old IPod to this new one?

If your music is only on your iPod and you have no back up or the original computer to sync to, there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

How to sync music from iPhone onto new computer

I had my iPhone synced to my old computer. I connected it to my new computer and it won't allow me to put any of my old music onto iTunes without deleting it all first. How can I keep my old music and put it onto my new iTunes?

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

How to get music from old ipod to new computer

I have an old iPod nano and I want to get the music to my new computer (iTunes).
How do I transfer it without losing the music? All the music in the iPod used to be stored in my old computer/itunes, which not longer exists.

Hi rominabate,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you want to move your music from your iPod to your new computer. The article linked below provides several options for recovering music from your devices and backups, like transferring music that was purchased from the iTunes Store on your iPod to your computer.

How to transfer music from old to new account?

Hi i had an account for itunes that was with AOL but as im not with AOL anymore they have stopped me from using the account so how do i transfer my old music to a new account or is it not possible?

OK, if you have followed the advice on the page, it is probably best to contact Apple via the contact us button at the bottom of the page.
BTW have you checked that all you account info is correct in the new account?
