HT203167 Reboot Computer now no music from old ipod

i had to reboot my laptop and now my ipod wont transfer my old music into my library. can i get some help with this?

The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases
Ipod is not a backup device.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.

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.

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.

Transferring music from old iPod to new Apple ID

I recently purchased my 1st iPhone and changed my Apple ID when I did. I just tried logging into my iTunes on my PC for the 1st time since and my music from my iPod is no longer there. When I connect my iPod to the computer, I can see the music under the iPod and "On this iPod". How do I transfer the music to my music in iTunes so that I can transfer it to my iPhone?
Thanks in advance for your help!

your AppleID is like your SSI# you cannot transfer infromation from one to the other. what ever you purchased under the old AppleID is linked to that ID only.

Have iPod that about 8 years old. Want to transfer music from old iPod to new iPod.

My ipod is about 8 years. Want to transfer music fron old ipod to new one. Can that be done ?

Hello try again
All your media should be in iTunes so you can sync using iTunes to get the music over. If you have any purchases from the iTunes Store you may transfer them to your iTunes library.

GET MUSIC FROM OLD IPOD TO NEW IPOD

so i recently got the color ipod for my birthday, and i have the older model ipod [first ipod made i believe?]. i also am using a different computer than when i was first using my old ipod. i have about 3500 songs on my old ipod, and i dont know how to get the songs on my new ipod. they arent on my new computer, so ive been trying everything i can think of, if anyone can help me, it would be very much appreciated !!

First of all, put the music from the old iPod back to your new computer (and then into iTunes).
try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
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.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), 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 can be messy.
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 and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
There is also CopyPod. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
Once the music is safely in your new iTunes library, you can transfer it to the new iPod.

Can't Sync Music From Old iPod Nano to New iPod Nano

Ref: Windows 7 PC, iTunes 11.3, Nano Gen 7 1.0.3
I had an iPod Nano Gen 5 with my music loaded. When I switched to the iPod Nano Gen 7, the music in my library will not download from iTunes. Some music is from CD, some from iTunes Store. On the Gen 5 I had unchecked Sync Music and checked Manual manage music which essentially erased all music from the iPod. Seems to me this would permit the music to be available for the Gen 7. No luck so far getting any of my music to load, I have subsequently removed and re-installed iTunes with no change. Under the Summary tab for the device I have checked only Sync only checked songs and videos. On the Music tab I have checked Sync Music, Entire music library. 0 songs is indicated next to Sync Music. This has been going on forever. Since I list to podcasts primarily, I have let this problem ride, but now I'd like to resolve it.
BTW I can still connect my Gen 5 and sync the entire library to it. What gives?

It has no speaker so it isn't surprising you don't hear music when it has no headphones plugged in.
Have you tried a different set of headphones? And the jack is very tight on a new Nano, make sure the plastic on the headset jack is flush with the body of the nano.

Music from OLD ipod on NEW computer

Ok, this is wierd so I'll try to be as descriptive as possible:
1) I have an iPod mini
2) I have all my music on a desktop PC
3) Last week I hooked up my mini to my new laptop to charge the mini
4) All my music now shows on my LAPTOP. Not just the music that is on the mini, but ALL of the music from my desktop
5) Ok, it's not really the files, but tags or placeholders for the music. In other words I can't copy the music to my new Nano.
6) How do I get rid of that? I would think itunes on my laptop would have an empty music library.
Thanks.

Transferring tracks from an iPod back to iTunes has been covered here a number of times already, but again:
First, you need to prevent automatic synchronzation with a blank copy of iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift and Ctrl keys in Windows. This should stop the iPod from auto synching with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
Then if you're using iTunes 7, you can then copy music that you purchased from the iTunes Store back to iTunes directly (use the Transfer Purchases From iPod command under the iTunes File menu).
If you're not using iTunes 7 or want to copy back other tracks, the easiest way will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:

Hope this helps.

Stolen Computer - Can I still upload music from old iPod to new computer?

Our computer was stolen last fall, so I'm unable to change the settings in iTunes on the iPods and iPhone we have with all our music files on them. I'm wondering if there is still a way for me to transfer that music (and photos) from our iPods and iPhone to our new computer without being able to access the old computer itself? Please help! I really don't want to have lost all my music and photos!

Transfering music from old iPod to iPod Nano 4th

Hi guys,
I just got my new Nano today and I cannot figure out how to transfer my songs from my old Ipod ( I bought it back in 2004--first generation--the one with the buttons:-) ) to my brand -new Nano.
Here are some details:
- all my songs are from my CDs back home ( in Europe )
- My "old" Itunes library is on my PC back home
- I now live in US and have a laptop with Windows XP
- I have just installed New version of Itunes and quicktime
Any help will be highly appreciated

You have to use a third-party utility to go from iPod to computer.
Here is an article on the topic.
http://lifehacker.com/394046/copy-music-from-your-iphone-or-ipod-to-your-compute r-for-free
I have not used any Windows utilities for this this myself (since I use a Mac with my iPods).
After you get the files onto your computer, get them into your iTunes library. Once they are in your iTunes library, sync it to your iPod (the new one). To reduce the risk of losing your music files, I recommend that you keep the primary copy of the music files on your PC going forward, and sync it to your iPod. If you are using the +Manually manage music+ setting now, you need to uncheck that option on the iPod's pane in iTunes (in order to sync).

How do i transfer music from old ipod to itunes for new ipod

Im not sure how I am suppose to take the 200 songs that i dont have on my itunes that is on my old ipod, and how Im suppose to transfer this music onto my itunes to get it on to my new ipod??? oh and clicking on the enable disc use isnt working so please and suggestions would be great

Hi Jperto99
You need to Either get 3rd party software or do it this way
You need to be able to view hidden files on your computer , you need to go to the control panel and find folder options. (i believe that you could change the settings on in the windows explorer by clicking view at the top menu bar. you need to click it so that you can see the hidden files. (i think this explains simply what i said Tools -> Folder Options -> View, and then check (enable) the option “Show hidden files and folders.”)
Next find your ipod now if you have enabled hidden files you need to click on your ipod and find a folder called ipod control. the folder itself will look different maybe a bit transparent because it is hidden. Next you will go in and if you explore further you will see loads of files (transparent like ipod control) with things like F34 F01 (or F1) etc.
They are the files with your music on it and if you click on them, they will show music files but they wont have names. they are encrypted with file names like AKLY (basically four letters or 3 letters put together in capitals) so to get the names and other suff back simply drag the music files into itunes or import them individually (the folders) into itunes by clicking file, import into itunes and by folder.
Then once you have done this the names should be correct in Itunes.
Alternitavely you can drag all the files in 'ipod control' into an external Hard Drive if you go into itunes prefrences you can let itunes put all your music on your computer into organized files of album names.
Hope that Helped (if you don't understand what i said this guide is pretty good http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/copying-music-from-ipod-to-co mputer/P0)
Also if your willing to spend money by doing all of this in one click then this program for £14 (not sure in $) is really good. the free version (does 5 songs at a time) but the great thing is, is that it transfers directly to itunes you can get it here http://www.findleydesigns.com/
You can get other free 3rd party software ill try and find a list for you if you want

Getting music from old iPod

I have a 1st generation iPod, and I just got a 4th gen. I have a lot of music on my old one, but when I downloaded the new version of iTunes, most of my music wouldn't work anymore and now it's deleted. How can I get my old music from my old iPod onto the new one?

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 and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod2PC Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
Floola Mac & Windows
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)
If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only 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 or iPhone to a computer
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
