  • We have itunes music on a computer, an ipod nano, and a new ipod touch under two different accounts. How can we combine the music from both accounts to one device?

    There is no "adding" a device.  Simply plug the iDevice into the computer.  iTunes should automatically detect the device when it is connected.
    iTunes can sync/manage as many iDevices as you want... there is no 1 device limit.

    Copy the entire iTunes folder from \Users\<User>\Music on the old drive into your music folder on the new computer.

    Hi tak661_99m,
    It sounds like you want to transfer music from your older iPod shuffle to iTunes and then sync it to the new iPod nano. Take a look at the article below for more information about transfering music from your device to iTunes. The way you transfer the music to the new iPod nano will vary depending on where the music came from and whatever is most convenient for you.

  • HT1848 how can i get the music from itunes on my pc to transfer to my iphone?

    how can i get the music from itunes on my pc to transfer to my iphone?

    The only supported method to get media onto an iDevice is via iTunes.  Read the User's Guide it will describe how to do this in detail.
    iCloud does not put media on the device, but using iTunes Match and iCloud it is possible to have access to all media that exists on your computer, but only when the device has Internet access.  It will not load media onto the device.
    Use of 3rd party tools to transfer files to the device is not supported.

    I need help to delete my icloud account from my iPad.  It has "Find my iPad" on it and won't let me delete without the old password.  I don't want to reset password as it will require reset of Mac Book Pro and 2 iphones.  Help appreciated.
    Your description of the problem is a bit confusing.  Do you have ONLY ONE Apple ID or do you have MORE THAN ONE?

  • Hello, how can I transfer the music from my Ipod to the Itunes on my desktop?

    As known my system crashed recently, so I have had to install everything again also Itunes.
    Earlier all my music CD's were installed in the Itunes library, of course I did loose everything exept my purchases from the Itune store.
    luckely all de music was also set on my Ipod. How can I export the music library from Ipod to my imac without performing a syncronisation which would make me loose the music tunes from my Ipod Touch.
    thank you for helping me out

    Unfortunately, iTunes doesn't give you the options to transfer non-purchased songs in the iTunes Store from an iPod to the iTunes library, so you have to use a third-party app.
    One of the best apps you can use is Senuti, and it's the one I prefer > http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/ You can find more in Internet

  • How can I transfer the music from an old ipod to an iphone 5c if I don't have the files in itunes anymore?

    I have and old ipod and a new iphone 5C. I want to transfer the music from the ipod to the iphone. I could not do it in itunes. Need help. Thanks

    Exact same way as razmee209 stated earlier. The sync process for the iPhones and iPods is one way from iTunes to the device, not the other way. The 3rd party software is the only solution if the music was not purchased via iTunes.
    Simplest way is to transfer all your user data (inlcluding iTunes library) from old computer to new computer.

  • How can i take the music from my Iphone 3GS and put it in my Itunes Library

    How can I transfer my music on my phone to my Itunes library on the computer? I need to make space on my phone to update and take pictures.

    For iTunes purchased content, without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases. Music ripped on your own requires third party software, like this:

  • HT1386 I have an older iPod (5th gen, 30GB+video).  My computer crashed and itunes was no loner accessible on it.  On my new computer, how do I transfer the music from my iPod to the library in iTunes that is on my new computer?

    I have an older iPod (5th gen, 30GB+video) that I had connected to my computer with iTunes.  That computer crashed and the only place my music is stored is on my iPod.  How do I move that music to the iTunes program (version 8) on my new computer.  When I connect my iPod to my new computer the music shows up in my iPod's music directory but I can't move it to the library.

    - iTunes purchases by maybe

    - For other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

  • I have all my music on my I-pod but I have a new laptop, how do I get the music from my ipod onto itunes?, I have all my music on my I-pod but I have a new laptop, how do I get the music from my ipod onto itunes?

    I have all my music on my ipod but I can't get that music onto my new laptop , how do I do that?

    At a guess you followed the process in HT1364 - iTunes for Windows: Moving your iTunes Media folder which would have moved the media folder to a new path of your choice. This process leaves the library database files back in the original location of <User's Music>\iTunes. Often people assume that all they need is now on the external drive and wipe the internal drive, or discard their old computer, before backing up the all important iTunes folder. If you have a backup of your user's profile folder from before the upgrade the iTunes library folder should be in there somewhere. Restore it to <User's Music> and your original library should pop back into existence. The external drive would need to have the same drive letter that it had previously.
    A more effective way to relocate the library is to move the entire iTunes folder to the external drive, then hold down shift when starting iTunes and keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. You would then choose the file iTunes Library.itl in the iTunes folder on the external drive. If this is the way you moved the library before then that is how you should now reconnect to it. Changing the media folder in preferences doesn't change which .itl database file is opened, nor does double-clicking on an .itl file directly.
    If you no longer have the original .itl file then you will have to build a new library and import the media to it. If you need to do this I would recommend you create a new library at F:\iTunes, then move your existing media folders inside F:\iTunes\iTunes Media before importing. This will avoid the creation of duplicates and make sure the library is in the correct shape going forwards.
    If you have an iPod or iOS device my scripts ImportDevicePlaylists and SyncStats may well let you recover ratings, play counts & playlists from the device.
    When you've fixed up your libray you should consider getting a second external drive to backup to.
