I can't get my music on to my new ipod :[

I just bought a new ipod nano (2nd gen) 4G because my previous ipod broke. after downloading the new itunes and all that jazz, i couldn't get my library on to the ipod manually OR automatically. when trying it automatically, it says, "songs on the ipod cannot be synced because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist." i've also gotten an error message about a disc not being there or something. i've tried deleting and re-adding all of my songs to itunes several times, and i'm out of possible solutions.
someone please help because i can't go any longer without my music! :[

  • I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup. How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation back onto the new hard drive on my pc.

    I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup either locally or on the cloud. Much of the music is from old vinyl and podcasts which are no longer available.
    How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation) back onto the new hard drive on my pc.
    I have been reluctant to install iTunes on the new hard drive out of fear that I will lose all the contents on the ipod if I try to synch to the new hard drive.
    Help!

    No backup is a huge mistake.
    You can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store ... - Apple - Support

  • I can't get my music from itunes to my ipod

    I have been trying to sync my ipod to itunes to get my music and it doesn't do it.  I am new to IPODs so I am not sure what I am doing wrong.  Any help would be appreciated.

    You can't sync an iPod using Windows Media Player.  You need to add the songs to your iTunes library first, and then sync those songs to the iPod.
    This document provides more information (Add to Library section)

    NOTE:  The WMA files (the file type used by Window Media Player) need to be unprotected (no DRM).  They are converted to a format supported by iTunes while adding to the iTunes library.  This WMA conversion feature only works in the Windows version of iTunes (Mac users cannot do it).
    I believe you can drag and drop the WMA files, or the folder containing the WMA files, onto the iTunes window.  The original WMA files are not changed.  iTunes creates its own converted files at the location it stores all the iTunes media files.

  • How can i get the music from my old generation ipod touch on to my new windows computer

    I have an old generation ipod touch 8GB with itunes version 3.1.1 and i want to get the music that is on it on to my new computer. some of the music was downloaded from websites while some of it was rippped from CDs and my computer.

    See:
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities

    You will need a third-party computer app to copy non-iTunes purchases to the computer as discussed in the above

  • How can I get my music to copy to the iPod Shuffle?

    I have a new iPod Shuffle, it shows up under the Devices in my iTunes, but when I Sync it says there is an unkown error and cannot copy the song.  It displays this message for every Playlist and every song.  My iTunes is current and the software on the Shuffle is current.  All the songs play just fine from iTunes on my desktop computer.  How can I get my songs to copy?

    If you have not done so, you may want to restart your computer.
    That message (about the song file not found) means iTunes cannot locate the song file where it expects to find it.  Are you sure you can still play the song in iTunes (?), because you may get a yellow exclamation point next to the song, meaning the same thing; iTunes did not find the song file where iTunes expected to find it. 
    The consolidate command would not help if iTunes can't locate the files.
    That might mean they were moved or deleted.  If you do a Get Info (from right-click) on one of those songs, the Info window should tell you the expected location of the song file, on the Summary tab next to Where.  Follow that path (using Windows) to see if the song file is there.

  • How can I get my Music Library on my new laptop?

    The old computer I had iTunes on crashed, and I can't use it anymore. I have purchased a new laptop, and I would like all of my music back. How can I transfer my iTunes music library to my new laptop? I tried to sync my iPhone to my new laptop, but it says that it would have to erase and sync, because it can only be synced with one iTunes library at one time. Have I just lost all the music I had?

    iTunes purchases can be redownloaded.
    Computer: Open iTunes Store and click on Purchased in the Quick Links section on the right.
    iOS: Open the iTunes Store app > More > Purchased
    Non-iTunes purchases will be lost.
    If you didn't have your music backed up then you would need third party software such as  TouchCopy to transfer your music back to your computer so you can add it to iTunes and sync.

    I can't get my playlist from my pc itunes account which has a different name to copy onto my new ipod touch.

    Try:

    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try placing the iPod in Recovery Mode and then restoring via iTunes.

  • I have OS X v.10.2.4, how can I get 10.3.4 for my new iPod?

    Is there any way possible to get v.10.3.4 without buying it and how?! It's for my new iPod.
    If not,how and how much?!!!!
    I'm not very good with computers! Please explain your answer and make it as clear as possible! It would be a big help!
    Thanks!

    First, you can update your current OS to 10.2.8 via download and with that update you can install and run iTunes version 6. That should let you use the Nano without upgrading to 10.3. Several people have indicated that they are using the iPod with Jaguar (10.2) even though Apple officially specs out that Nano at 10.3. Jaguar didn't support USB 2 - Panther does.
    However, should Panther be necessary, you will have to purchase that upgrade. Since Panther has been replaced by Tiger, you should be able to find it discounted. Try Other World Computing or Small Dog.
