Ipod mini music to new ipod

Got another question for the group. I have an ipod mini and since buying it have purchased a new laptop that I never bothered to sync my ipod with. How can I get the music off of that ipod, put it on my new laptop, and get it to the new ipod? The threads I have seen are all contadictory to eachother.
Thanks

A couple questions for you:
What format is your current ipod at?
Do you have a mac or windows laptop?

  • Mini transfer to new ipod music/tv etc.

    If I buy the new ipod (for music, tv etc) will it be difficult to transfer music from my mini to the new one? I love my mini and don't want to mess it up. Have they named this new model such as they did the "suffle", "mini" ? Nancy

    If you buy the new ipod, you wouldnt transfer music from the mini to the new ipod. you would just transfer music from your computer to the ipod through itunes as you would any other ipod. so no, it will be easy to put music on a new ipod, it just wouldnt be through the mini. they havent named this new model with a suffix, as this new ipod is just that, the new ipod. the mini, shuffle, and nano are simply variations of a theme so to speak.

  • Plugged my iPod mini into a new pc, can't move music

    I have plugged in my ancient iPod mini into a new pc that already has iTunes and a library of music that I don't want to lose. I have set this relic to 'manually manage music' and I am unable to move music from my iPod to my iTuens library. Help please.

    Was your iPod previously set up to Manually Manage (where you dragged/dropped the music) or was it set to auto sync (where it started sycning as soon as you plugged it in.)?
    If it was set to Manual, you have no worries. Just continue on your way.
    If it was set to Auto, you will have to transfer your purchases or redownload them from the iTunes store.
    You're either going to have to get the other music back from the websites/CDs you got them from before or find an iPod ripping software program that will do it for you.

    "i want to know will yamipod copy everything to my itunes from my ipod like playlists and the name of the ipod , settings etc"
    Yamipod copies music (including playlist). Your settings are stored on the iPod and will not change. That includes the name you gave it which should show up in iTunes whenever you connect the iPod.
    Yamipod does not transfer play-counts, ratings etc.

  • Old computer crashed, how can I use my ipod mini on my new computer. I no longer have the original itunes software cd.

    I have an ipod mini. My computer crashed and no longer have software. Can I still use my mini to go into itunes and buy music? I have a new computer, windows 7. Thanks.

    Yes, you should still be able to use your iPod Mini on your new Windows 7 PC. Simply download iTunes from Apple's website and you should be good to go.  You don't need the original software that came with it anymore as it's now bundled with the iTunes application.

  • Ipod nano help with syncing music to new computer?

    I have two ipod nanos, one 6th gen. the other 7th gen, and the laptop I had all the music on and synced from cant be accessed anymore, so how can I get the music onto a different computer and be able to sync new music to them?

    Thanks!  I did it again using my iPod again.  (I couldn't find an external drive large enough)
    What am I supposed to do with the iTunes folder that is now on my desktop from the step below:
    Copy music to new computer
    To copy all your music files (including the library file that holds all your playlists and other settings) to your new computer:
    Locate your Music folder (Mac OS X) or your My Music folder (Windows) on your new computer:
    Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
    Windows: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
    Drag the iTunes folder in this location out to the desktop.
    Can I just delete that?

  • After transferring music to new Mac, Mac won't recognize iPod

    I just recently transferred my music from a PC to a new Powerbook G4 using my iPod in disk mode. I erased everything on my iPod, then loaded it with music in disc mode to put on my new computer. But now, I need to erase the stuff on there in disc mode so I can put it back in the normal mode.
    Just when I thought I was figuring it out, my Mac won't recognize my iPod. Do I need to reformat it for a Mac since I was using it with a PC? Be gentle, I'm new to Macs and don't know the lingo or my way around very well yet.

    Exactly what steps did you follow?
    1. what do I do with original iTunes folder?
    It's on your old computer.
    What do you want to do with it?
    2. how do I get iTunes to read/ingest playlist and songs?
    If you copied the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer then you simply need to open iTunes.
    Since it is the exact same library, everything will be there as it was on old computer.

    My old powerbook died, so I do not have access to it. I thought that I had backed up all my music, but I did not. I have searched through tech support articles on apple's site and haven't found anything of use yet.

  • How do i transfer music to new laptop?

    How do I transfer my music to new laptop?  My library only shows up when my ipod is hooked up but once I remove it, my library disappears.  It's a toshiba windows 8

    You can authorize up to 5 computers with the same iTunes account with iTunes.
    There is no device limit for the number of iPods, iPads, and iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on the same computer.
    The iPhone can be synced or manually managed with music and video with an iTunes library on a single computer only and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first.
    To avoid this with a new computer, transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer along with all other important data that you will want or need to access on your new computer such as documents, photos, etc. For your iTunes library, follow the instructions included with this link.

  • Sync my current music wit new music in iTUNES deleted all current music.

    TODAY i sync my current music wit new music from iTunes. it deleted my all my current music but not the new music.
    how can i get back my old songs and still keep the new ones?
    PLEASE HELP!
    I AM SO AGITATED RIGHT NOW?
    SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!

    Any music that is not in your own iTunes library will be erased from the iPod when you connect and sync.
    That appears to be the case here.
    "a friend gave it to me with music already downloaded."
    The iPod is not designed to share music this way.

  • I am unable to update my ipad mini to the new IOS8,

    Please could someone help, what can i do.  i am unable to update my ipad mini to the new IOS8

    Lacking any specific information, I'll just give you general information for backing up your data and resetting your iPad to its factory default condition, which isn't a bad idea for anyone, no matter what they are doing or what problems they may have - or not have. The first links are for backups and their information. Do an iTunes backup, as it's more complete. Then the last link is for using your iTunes program to do the factory default reset.

  • Down loaded new music to new nano, but cannot delet songs

    down loaded new music to new nano, but I cant seem to delete any songs.

    Why can you not delete them?  How are you trying to delete the songs?
    How you add and delete songs depends on how you have your iPod set up to sync with your iTunes library whether that be manually or automatically.

  • Will apple store transfer my music to new iphone for me

    will  the apple store transfer my music to new iphone for me?

    Do this:
    Create a separate user account for you. Launch iTunes, then Store>Authorize this Computer. Then:
    By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you are using a new computer, your phone will see this computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else, as Apple makes no provision to do so:
    http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
    Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
    1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under Preferences>Devices in itunes(under the edit menu if using Windows).
    2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Outlook, Windows Address Book) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
    3. Connect your phone, iTunes running, do not sync at this point.
    4. Store>Authorize this computer.
    5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
    6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
    7. Right click again and select backup.
    8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
    9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
    You should be good to go.

  • Help with moving music to new computer

    I have run into a problem while following the iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer support artical.  I believe I followed the instructions using my iPod as an external hard drive but when I finally went back to iTunes, the songs are listed, but they do not open.  Instead, I get a pop up that says, "The song "xyz" could not be used because the original file could not be found.  Would you like to locate it?"  This is the case for about 500 songs that were previously on my old computer in iTunes
    I have a new window's 8 computer and had just downloaded iTunes onto it.  I was so worried about losing my songs that I specifically looked for help on how to seamlessly accomplish this. 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you

    Thanks!  I did it again using my iPod again.  (I couldn't find an external drive large enough)
