HT1535 Ipod Nano linked to a non existant library. How can I get my old songs to a new library?
I have an old Nano that I have about 300 songs on. I no longer have the PC with the library that this device was linked to. I have a new iPhone 5 and opened a new iTunes library to purchase songs for the new phone. How can I get the songs from the Nano to transfer to my new iTunes library that is syncd to my iPhone?
Hi Elk2bugle,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can transfer iTunes purchases from your iPod to a new computer. See this article for the steps:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

You can also download past purchases directly to your iPhone, or computer using iTunes:

All the best,

Could it be so that I have deleted the old AppleID? All applications are still on the device, but I cant get them on new device. When I try to create a new id with an old email, it doesnt allow saying that the address is already occupied. It means the ID exists, but I cant get in... (I was trying to change address, just dont know if I succeed or not.)
Thank you in advanceSo For everyone that is having the issue of iCloud asking for an old email there is a very simple fix, as long as its a simple switch from one email to another on one apple ID account.
1. Sign into appleid.apple.com with your current ID.
2. Edit the primary email to the one requested. (You DO NOT need to verify the old email.)
3. Sign out of iCloud on any device using the old ID.
4. Edit the primary email (on appleid.apple.com) back to the desired email address.
5. Verify that email address.
6. Sign into iCloud with the correct email.
As for anyone that is unable to verify their account due to not receiving the verification email, contact apple support for further assistance. -
New Ipod How Do I Get My Old Songs Onto It
*I have got a new ipod ((an ipod nano 2nd generation)) but all my old song are*
*on my old ipod ((an ipod mini)) how do i get my old songs onto my new ipod...*
*not all my songs are from itunes store or off cds =S*
*I hope you can help...*
*thankyou =)*You can't copy directly from one iPod to another. If the songs aren't in iTunes you need to copy them back from your old iPod and update the new one from there.
The transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However 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. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
iRepo Mac and Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod -
I have the newest version of the iPad and can not see it under devices in my iTunes account on my PC. I can however see my iPod touch under devices and sync it. How can I get my iPad to show under devices and sync as well? I have also tried may suggestions on the apple support site and none have worked. Any suggestions are welcome.
You need iTunes version 11+.

How can I use the old Apple TV with new iTunes? It tells me to input a code in iTunes but iTunes no longer has a spot to input this code to allow sync. I can access the iTunes Store fine, just none of my Library

I had my ipod synced to an old computer that I no longer have how can i get all my stuff on the new itunes without erasing it
Most Windows users don't.
Purchase an external hard drive and use the backup software that comes with it to backup files from your computer.
Buy TouchCopy and install it on your new computer, connect your old iPod and transfer your songs to your computer. -
My original iPod has my old CD collection on it, hundreds of them painstakingly imported. Over the years, I have got new iPod, new iPhone, new computer, and run a separate iTunes library. But now I want my old collection on my computer. How can I get this old iPod music converged with my newer music and computer, without having to wipe out a library or lose any music?
Hello jlfromcorona,
Use the manual method of copying all the music from your iPod Classic, to your new Mac. See this article for instructions.

How can i sync my old playlist to my new iPod shuffle?
How can I sync my old playlist to my new iPod shuffle? Everytime I try to sync it I get the little pop up box that asks if I want to transfer and delete what new songs I have already downloaded.....i know it has something to do with sharing music libraries but not sure how to do this....any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
You don't.
If you do not have your contacts, then you cannot sync your contacts.
You should ALWAYS maintain a backup copy of your computer. -

Not true at all.
You only buy the right to your own personal use.
You do NOT have the right to distribute to others.
This is illegal. There is no doubt about it -
I had my ipod 4gen itunes on a computer that crashed. With the new computer I update it to the lastest version. I hit the wrong transfer button and lost everything. How do I get my old songs, apps, and money back from my old account, if thats possible?
I cant find any of my recently bought songs or the apps i have purchased. When I was updating my ipod there was a button that asked about transfering purchases and I didnt read it, and I didnt update manually so i think thats why i lost everything. I clicked on the intrustions and clicked on apps and i coulnt find any of my old stuff.
