    I have an iPod nano 1st gen. my system operative is windows vista . I just want to transfer all the music of my iPod to iTunes library like I was able to do it in the past I don't know what have change?

    Thank you deggie to answer me . You know, I don't know much of computers and of technology but when I bought that ipod back when  they came out 2005 I was able to download music from my CDs and from Youtube to itunes then transfer to my ipod and back and forth to itunes .  Then if I had changed of computer I was able to transfer to that new computer.Why I'm not able to do it ? There is a program(Sharepod) that allow to do that but it cost $35.00 but I thought that was free or it is because that now I have to buy from itunes only?

    Right-click any song in iTunes, show it in the Windows Explorer, navigate up to the iTunes Music folder, and drag it there.

  • ITunes music library on iPod

    I don't really need to have my music on two places: iTunes Library and iPod. iPod should be enough. But a lot of services and views are available in Library. So what if I put my entire Library to my iPod? It works! But in that case the music consumes twice more place, because it's held in two places. I tried to use hard links (HFS formatted iPod), it seems to be working, but really hard to find the files.
    Do you know some solution for this problem? Or some method to make much more simply the hardlinking? (In fact when iTunes copies the music to iPod, it should be an ln instead of cp.)

    If you want to delete songs from iTunes and keep them on the iPod you need to change the update option of your iPod to "manually manage music and videos" (this setting isn't available for an iPod shuffle, you can't delete from iTunes and keep the songs on the shuffle). The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different, you can get details here:
    Managing content manually on iPod
    iPod - Syncing Music
    One major word of caution. You should consider investing in an additional internal or external hard drive to store/back up anything you can't replace such as iTunes downloads. Alternatively back them up to CD or DVD: How to back up your media in iTunes
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod
    Don't delete anything until you have changed the update option. If by any chance you do however you can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7.3 or later installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing 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 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Once you are connected the settings can be changed: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows

  • How do I restore iTunes music library from ipod(s) and gift card $s?

    Two Questions:
    1) Had to have my hard drive rebuilt due to a major virus issue with my computer. Had to remove all software. Now when I download my new version of iTunes and try to sync my iPod its looking for the previous software iTunes account and wants to either erase or transfer purchases from my iPOD. I do not want to lose my music library on my iPod. What do I do?
    2) How do I get my gift card $s back that I had in my previous iTunes account? I do not have the original cards anymore...

    1) Have you failed to maintain a backup? You should always maintain a backup.
    2) Sign onto your itunes account. The info is still in your account.

  • Got rid of my old computer and want to put my iTune Music Library on a computer that already has a library.  How do I do that?

    I want to be able to use 1 computer for 2 music libraries.  Want to be able to purchase new music, have it go to the correct library and then synch the library with my nano.  I have the 2nd library on an external drive ready to be migrated to computer.  How do I do this?  KMac

    so basically you have 2 library and you want to use them seperately ?
    If Yes, Try using seperate user accounts for each library.

  • HT1386 unable to sync computer itunes music library to ipod

    Have older model ipod touch without camera which has 153 songs on it .I recently added a new album from a cd, not purchased from itunes,but it now is only on the itunes library & won't transfer over to the ipod. What do I need to do ?

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • Transferring iTunes music library from a mac to a PC

    Hi
    Does anyone know how i can transfer all the songs on my mac iTunes to my new windows iTunes? I followed the instructions on the msn support website but these instructions must only be for transferring the iTunes library from a mac to a mac, or from a pc to another pc, and not from a mac to pc or vice versa.
    I`ve just bought a laptop to take to university and i want to bring my music library with me.
    When i loaded up my itunes from mac onto the pc it just keeps saying windows does not recognise the type of file. Is there a way of changing the settings so that windows will recognise and run a mac file?
    If anyone knows that'd be of great help

    The music files will transfer and play without a problem.
    You will need to download a Windows version of iTunes and the iPod Updater in order to use the PC. The Mac versions will not work.
    iPod Updater
    iTunes Download Page
    There may be some problem with the Windows version of iTunes reading the Mac's iTunes Library file. This may prevent you from completely moving over some of the music meta-data from the Mac to the PC.
    There have been some posts on this, but I'll need to search for them.
    Also see this for the transfer process: Buegie, "transfering music to another pc." #4, 11:22pm Oct 14, 2005 CDT
    EDIT: Based on an old post I had copied into my "iPod Hints" file, here is how one contributer gave a high-level process:
    i 1) copy the iTunes Music folder to your Windows machine, replacing the existing folder (back up the existing one first)
    i 2) copy the iTunes Music Library.xml file to your Windows machine, and change the name to e.g. iTunesMac.xml so iTunes won't write over it.
    i 3) delete any "iTunes Library.itl" file (back up the existing one)
    i 4) run iTunes, and do File > Import... and pick iTunesMac.xml
    Hope this helps.

  • HT1478 How do I download my iTunes music library onto an external USB drive for back up purposes?

  • 2 Macs, 2 iPods, 1 iTunes Music library

    I have copied all my/our Cds into my G5iMac Music Library (iTunes 6.0.3) - I have over 3000 tracks - approx. 14Gb of music. I have a 30Gb 5th Gen. iPod and have all the tracks on my iPod.
    However, my husband would like to copy my iTunes Music Library to his Mac mini so he can 'pick and choose' which tracks he wants to download to his iPod mini (6Gb). I started to copy various albums using a USB 2.0 flash drive but it will take forever so I've given up on that idea.
    He has updated his iPod using my iMac but I've discovered that he's gone through my playlists and unchecked many, many, tracks that he doesn't want (but I do). Of course, now they don't download onto my iPod either.
    Is there a simple way I can transfer a copy of my entire iTunes Music Library to his mac Mini so he can use his own computer to sync his iPod and leave mine to me? ;-(
    I have a lan set up using Airport Express but only so he can share my ADSL2+ connection wirelessly - i.e. we don't share files between our computers (I also have a VAIO XP Pro SP2 notebook on the lan, too - I don't want any music on it at all).
    If it is possible, would it be best to do this via firewire?
    I would be grateful for any advice...
    Cheers

    I would do this via firewire - airporting would take all day.
    go to network prefs, choose network port configurations, then click "new". select the built-in firewire option.
    Once you have set up this on both machines (and connnected them with a firewire cable!), you should be able to connect by choosing "connect to server" from the Go menu in the finder.
    if you have problems, try creating an new network location called "firewire" with only the firewire connection box checked.
    if you have purchased music on iTunes you may not be able to share these files, but on that opic i am not 100% sure.
    hope that helps.

  • HT1751 Hi I followed the istructions to copy/move iTunes music to a new PC, can see albums listed in Library, but SYNCH does not put any music on iPod. It took me three weeks to import my CDs into iTunes and i DON'T want to do it again! Can anyone help ?

    Take a look here; it should help:
    iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between authorized computers
    Though it refers to items purchased from the iTunes Store, it applies to all your iTunes content. And if you happen to also own an iPod:
    How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    Once you have the tracks on some removable medium, you can mount that on your new computer and then just drag the content to the iTunes window. Make sure that the option to "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" is set in the iTunes -> Advanced -> General preferences before you do. Alternatively, you can use the Add To Library command and select each track (or folder of tracks).
    If you won't be using that Windows system once you move the content, don't forget to deauthorize the system from your iTunes Store account before you dispose of the computer.
    Regards.
