Transfering songs from Shuffle 3rd gen to new computer, old one crashed

I am not very tech savy.
I am trying to transfer my songs from my IPOD shuttle 3rd gen to my new computer.
The old computer crashed and is gone. New one is OS Windows 7. Old one was XP Professional (not sure if it matters). I keep charging the IPOD , but cannot add to the songs. How do I do it ? I tried downdloading programs, but just get confused.
Please help.

Hello sparkles49,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
So you want to copy all the music currently on your 3rd generation Shuffle to your new Windows 7 machine correct? If so, try the software and instructions described in this article. Pretty straightforward.

???Transferring songs from a PC to a new Mac???

I just bought a new iBook G4 and I desperatley need to transfer my music from my iPod to my new Mac/iTunes. I no longer have my old computer, but my entire library is still on my iPod. I would appreciate if someone could help me out with this matter!

When you get your Mac you'll find information in the manual on a utility called Migration Assistant that will help you move from your PC to the Mac. You'll find more on it here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25773
This link is specifically on moving your iTunes folder: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301748

Transfering songs from Creative Zen MicroPhoto to new IPOD Nano 2nd gen

I hope someone can help me! Have spoken to Apple in the UK and they couldn't help me out, but I hope someone here can! I have two computers. One new macbook and an old PC desktop(been upgraded to windows xp service pack2). My question is I want to transfer all the songs off my Creative Zen to save on my mac hard drive (most are in mp3 format, only a few are wma), so I can then transfer a few to my 2nd gen IPOD Nano. How can I do this? I have tried plugging my creative zen into the usb port of the MAC via a usb lead, but it doesn't seem to register its there, so there's no chance of me downloading the songs directly onto the hard drive of the mac. Someone suggested connecting an ethernet lead from my PC (with the Creative in the usb port) to my mac, however my old pc doesn't have an ethernet port. It only has two usb ports.
There must be a straightforward way of transfering the music - otherwise I'll have lost all of my music that I paid for which doesn't seem right.

you could plug it into your windows machine and copy and paste all of the mp3's and wma's to a CD/DVD depending on what your mac has. Then simply drag and drop the files from the dis to the macs music directory.
does this help
(i ain't very good with macs so i called the music directory the place where music is stored, known as My Music in Windows)
hope that this helps you sort your problem.

Transferring songs from your phone onto a new computer

i recently bought a macbook pro and connected my iphone 4 to it and it said transferring purchases, after about 20 minutes it had finished transferring but it only transferred the purchased songs. it did not transfer the other 400 songs on my phone, how can i trasnfer them

The iphone is not a backup/storage device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a abckup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.

Transferring songs from an ipod to a new computer

i have all of my songs on my ipod and need to know how to transfer them from the ipod to my computer. please help!

It's not saying the phone has been used on 5 computers, it's saying your Apple ID has been used to authorize 5 copies of iTunes on computers.
What is the message you're getting after re-authorizing the new computer?

I'm having trouble transferring songs from Laptop to devices

I'm having trouble transferring songs from my laptop to both my iPad 2 and iPhone 5. I just added a new album to my library, and where before I used to select the songs I wanted to add to my devices, and then drag and drop them, this doesn't appear to work. I watched the tutorial and it says there is an 'Add to' option when you clkick on the device name in the top right hand corner. That doesn't appear on mine at all. Completely confused and nearing the end of my tether!

Make sure your device iOS is updated:

Transferring songs from ipod to itunes

my old computer with all of my songs are fried. I only have the songs on my ipod. Just got a new Macbook. How do i transfer songs from my ipod to a new itunes library without wiping it out?

Definitely a good idea to have a backup, but obviously that's not the case for you!
There are third-party software applications for transferring ipod music to your computer, and they cost about what three albums would on the iTunes store.
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

Transferring songs from iPod to computer (new hard drive)

My hard drive crashed and won't be able to backup all my music/songs that are not purchased from iTunes. How would I transfer all the songs from my iPod to my new hard drive (PC)? Is there any possibility?

Be very careful when connecting an iPod full of music to an empty iTunes library.There is very real risk of permanently losing all the music.
To prevent auto sync, before you connect the iPod go to the iTunes preferences and select "devices", then select "disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods".
An alternative method is to connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'control+shift' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to a new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.
How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump and iPodRobot.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
