  • How do I download music from my ipod nano to my itunes on my new computer?

    After buying a new laptop, I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes but after hooking up my iPod nano and turning on my home sharing the songs have not transferred from my iPod to my iTunes.  I am not sure what else I need to do.  If I sync my iPod and try to update it with my newest song purchases it will erase all of my old songs that are now only on my iPod.

    You need to copy your iTunes library from your old computer to your new one.  See How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support.  If you no longer have access to the old computer (or a backup of your data), see thus user tip: Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.  For future reference iPods are not designed or suitable for use a data storage device.
    Also, there is a built-in limitation such that any iPod can only be synced with one library a time.  When you install iTunes on a new computer, and do not transfer the complete library (database, media, artwork, ...) from your old one, iTunes will recognize this as a different library from that used for previous sync operations and will always erase the current content of the iPod before syncing from the new library.

  • 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?

  • HT1727 I have recently upgraded my computer and wnt to transfer my iPOD Nano Generation 7 Playlist to my new computer. I see I can take my Ipod and connect it to the computer and download my Paylists to the new omputer So All I do is hook up the IPOD ?

    Hi I recently upgraded with a new computer. I see that when I open my itunes that my old playlist did not transfer to the new computer. I want to transfer my paylist from the old computer to the new one without loosing what I have on my IPOD Nano (7th Gen) at present. I saw that you can link the IPD directly to te computer and download the playlist to my new computer. Okay so I just hook in directly once I have it set up what do I push to transfer the playlist frommy IPOD to the computer> A by-the-number explanation would be appreciated as I am not computersavy and over 60. Thanks

    I just bought a new laptop and my ipod nano will not stay connected to my computer. When I first connect the ipod it starts to sync on my ipod but not on itunes. The ipod is initially connected to my computer, I can see it when I look on devices in my computer. However, when it finishes syncing it is no longer detected to my computer. I cannot transfer any of my songs to my new laptop because of this. I have tried to reinstall itunes, reset my ipod and use a different port. None of these things worked. Any ideas?

  • ITunes 11.1.5 won't sync podcasts to my 6th gen ipod nano--how do I fix this?

    iTunes 11.1.5 won't sync podcasts to my 6th gen ipod nano--how do I fix this?
    Until a few months ago, my iTunes had no problem syncing podcasts to my 6th gen ipod nano. Since an update in the iTunes software version (not sure which version), iTunes just won't sync podcasts to the nano. No other changes have occured and only podcasts are affected.
    What's going on? How do I fix this?

    I had the same problem with my nano when I updated to itunes 11.1.5. It seems that the update does not transfer all of your podcast download preferences. Open itunes, select "Podcasts" from the drop down box in the upper left of the screen. The next screen will give you an option to select "My Podcasts" (top center). This will bring up a list of your podcasts on the left. Right click on one and select "podcast settings". This brings up a settings box on the upper right (this is a new variation) with your current download settings for that podcast. The download setting on mine had defaulted to "off" on all of my podcasts. I just reset them to "all episodes" and all is good.
    Hope this helps.

  • My iPod nano 4th generation won't download newer podcasts from iTunes

    my ipod nano 4th generation won't download newer podcasts from itunes

    If you use automatic syncing, select the iPod in iTunes.  There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary).  Click on Podcasts there.  This is the Podcasts tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync podcasts.
    Sync Podcasts is checkmarked for automatic syncing.  Below that, set up the Podcasts tab to sync podcasts as desired.  For example, you can set it to Automatically include all unplayed episodes of selected podcasts.  The "all unplayed" option gets new podcasts episodes to sync automatically. Select the podcasts below. 
    When you click Apply, your selection on the Podcasts tab (and the other tabs...  Music, Books, etc.) sync to the iPod.  If the iPod was NOT previously set to use automatic syncing, its existing content is replaced.

  • How do you dowload songs from iPod nano 7th generation to iTunes on another computer?

    I have iTunes on two computers. I bought a movie on one computer, but through a series of events had to erase my iPod on that computer and sync it to a different computer. Now, it will not sync the movie unless it is on the computer I bought the movie from. Because I erased my iPod on the computer I bought the movie, I have to download my iPod to the computer I bought the movie on in order to sync the movie to my iPod. How do you download everything on the Ipod nano 7th generation to iTunes on another computer?

  • How can I use a new computer without deleting everything on iPod?

    Hey Guys
    I need a bit of help.
    My old computer died, it was running Windows XP. I've got myself a new computer running Windows 7.
    I have a copy of my iTunes folders from my old computer (taken 2 days before it died)
    How can I use a new computer without deleting everything on iPod touch?
    I've imported all the folders (music, apps etc) into the new computer's iTunes, but when I sync my iPod
    I receive a window asking if i want to sync i need to erase and replace with the iTunes library on the computer.
    I particularly don't want to do this.
    My wife also uses my iTunes for her iPhone.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

    Make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Backup. Then restore the iPod from that backup and sync as necessary.

    Can someone tell me how i sync my ipod on my new computer. i have authorised the computer but i can not find where to sync it. i thought Apple was meant to be easy

    Hi Richail,
    Once you have selected your sync options in iTunes, such as what music or videos you want to transfer, the Apply button should be in the bottom right hand corner of the window. For more information on syncing iOS devices, you may find the following article helpful:

  • How do I transfer the music content on my old IPOD (click wheel) to Itunes in my new computer for subsequent transfer to a new IPOD

    How do I transfer music on my old IPOD( click wheel) to Itunes on my new computer(Windows 8) for further transfer to a new IPOD nano

    If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
    1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
    2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
    3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
    If you didn't purchase them through Itunes, then you'll have to download software that will strip the songs from your iPod onto your computer. And here is a guide about how to transfer iPod music. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

    It doesn't quite work that way. Transfer your music from the old computer to the new one. Then, sync the iPod.

    From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
    They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.
