HT201269 how can I upload songs from my iPod shuffle to a new laptop with iTunes?

Previous desktop crashed & replaced with a new laptop, so unable to backup my iPod shuffle to iTunes.  When I try to sync the iPod to the new iTunes library, it wants to erase the iPod completely and load the songs from the iTunes library on the new laptop.  How can I transfer songs from iPod shuffl into the new iTunes library without losing everything?

The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases - File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back

  • How can i upload music from my ipod to my macbook air?

    hi, how can i upload music from my ipod to my macbook air? thanks.

    Try this.
    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.
    However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
    If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
    There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod to iTunes.

    How does one copy songs from an iPod nano to a new computer?

    You can't add any iOS to a Nano since it doesn't run iOS.
    For iTunes purchased music connect to your computer and in iTunes go to File > Transfer purchases.
    For non-iTunes music you will need 3rd party software. Assuming you have a Windows computer try Yamipod.

  • How can I copy songs from one iPod to another?

    I received a new iPod Classic (last generation) and I'm trying to transfer my songs from my old iPod Nano (also last generation).
    My iTunes library is also split up between my two parent's houses and I only have half the songs on my Nano in this computer's library.
    Is there a way to copy only the songs on the +iPod Nano+ (not the iTunes library) and drop them onto the new iPod?

    *Is there a way to copy only the songs on the iPod Nano (not the iTunes library) and drop them onto the new iPod?*
    You can't copy directly from one iPod to another, you have to copy the songs back to iTunes and update the new iPod from there. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases 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

    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

  • How do you transfer songs from my iPod Classic to my new computer? The only songs that transfer are those that I purchased on iTunes. Is there a 3rd party website or something?

    I am trying to transfer 3000 songs from my iPod Classic to my new computer. The only songs that transfer are those that I have purchased on iTunes (242 songs). All of the music from my CD collection that I have on my iPod Classic will not transfer. What (if any) is the best 3rd party website that will assist?

  • How can i get songs from my ipod to a new playlist?

    can i not just drag and drop a song from my ipod to the title of the new playlist? it wont let me...so can you tell me how?
    dell   Windows XP  

    one way to can simply do this (if dragging and dropping won't work), is to simply put the songs that you would like in the playlist into the On-The-Go playlist in your iPod. Once you have put these songs into the On-The-Go folder (by highlighting the song and holding down the center button), simply plug the ipod back into your computer, and rename the folder with the songs in it. Hope this helps.

  • How can i transfert song  from my ipod to my itune list

    i format my pc and all my song are store on my ipod , i reinstall itune but cant transfert song from my ipod into my library, it only give me choice to erase my toon on my ipod to replace it

    There is no way to transfer songs backwards from the iPod to the computer thru iTunes. You would have to search for an external program to do this.
