Ipod questions from a computer idiot

I'm new to this iPod stuff and have to say I love it!! But I have lots of questions so sorry if I seem stupid. I have songs listed in my playlists that are not in my library. How do I get all songs in my library? Also, I think I'm going to need a bigger Nano (currently have 1 GB). If I get a 3 GB, can I transfer my current library and playlists to the new Nano? Thanks!

I know, but hubby had hundreds of songs and I couldn't possibly go through all of mine and his CDs.
I don't understand.
He put the CDs on his computer and then onto the iPod.
You can simply connect your iPod and put them onto yours.
But I'm still wondering if it was even possible to transfer songs from my current iPod to a new one?
I'm confused.
Did he put the CDs onto the computer, put them onto the iPod and then delete them off the computer?
And why some are in my playlist, but not my library?
What do you mean by playlist?
You put a song into the iTunes library.
The you put it onto the iPod(
If you want to create a playlist with songs, you can (but you don't have to).
A playlist is simply a list, with song titles in it. You do not need any playlists to use iTunes or the iPod.
So if the song is from iTunes or a CD, it will go to the library...otherwise it will not?
No. Songs can be from anywhere (hopefully legally).
iTunes can import from a CD or from your computer or you can get them from the iTunes Music store.
If they are not in your library, you cannot put them onto the iPod.

This might sound like a dumb question, but......My computer drive recently broke, as well as the video card. We replaced them but now itunes is completely new.

New computer, want keep ipod music from old computer to new?

new computer, want keep ipod music from old computer to new?

Hi mtscott41,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you have music on an iPod from your old computer. You now have a new computer but do not want to have the music from the iPod erased when you sync to the new computer. If the music on your iPod was purchased from iTunes you can either transfer those purchases from the iPod to your new computer’s iTunes Library or you can download the previously purchased content directly to your iTunes Library from iTunes. Please use the following article as reference for transferring purchases.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
The following article will show you how to download all of your previous purchases directly to iTunes if you would like to proceed this way.
Download past purchases

If the music on your iPod was not purchased from iTunes and you still have the old computer, you may want to use a process called Home Sharing to transfer that content to your new computer. The following article explains Home Sharing.
iTunes: Setting up Home Sharing on your computer

I hope this helps,

HT4527 I have my entire music library (purchased and burnt CD's) on my iPod Touch from one computer and I wanted to sync it all to my new computer. I was hoping it would all transfer via sync when I plugged it in but it doesn't seem to work. Please help?!

Ok, I had a glitch, forced to restart, and lost my train of thought.
Reinstalling iTunes should fix the major issue that might have gone wrong, perhaps your explaination points will disappear and everything will be peachy again.
But if they don't, you can open the XML file in iTunes Folder using a Text edit program to see what the common pathname is to the iTunes Music folder or where your content is located.
If you moved the itunes folder, it needs to go back.
I can't download iTunes to my Vista virtual machine to test it out right now because iTunes is down, so I can't verify the pathname, perhaps your issue and the iTunes being down are related somehow?
You don't want to import all your music again, but it's a option, but you lose all your playlists, that's what I'm trying to recover.
If oyu don't have a whole lot of playlists, then simply select all the explaimation point music and delete, select File from the menu and import your itunes folder again.

Transfer Ipod backup from one computer to another.

I want to transfer my ipod back up from one computer to another. Is there a way to keep my back up file and use that on my new PC? 4th gen Ipod Touch, Windows XP to Windows 7

You need to transfer your iTunes library from your old Mac to your new Mac. Copy the iTunes named folder located in your Music folder on your old Mac and with iTunes quit on your new Mac, place the iTunes folder in the same location - in your Music folder. You also need to authorize your new Mac with your iTunes account with iTunes.
Before syncing contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal on your new Mac, enter one contact in the Address Book and one calendar event in iCal on your new Mac. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
There is no need to transfer your iPhone's backup from your old Mac to your new Mac. iTunes on your new Mac will create a new backup for your iPhone automatically or you can do this manually. With your iPhone connected to iTunes on your new Mac, control-click on your iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list and at the menu window that appears, select Back Up to create a new backup for your iPhone as of now.

Songs won't load into ipod nano from new computer.

Load itunes library from old computer. Installed iTunes& authorized new computer. iTunes recognizes my iPod nano (4th generation), but won't load songs when synchronizing.
Any suggestions on how to fix?

I am having a similar problem. I recent reset my iPod as some songs were just skipping during play (they showed on the screen but after a second would just skip to next song), and have been trying to re-sync with no success. I have over 8,000 songs and when I attempt to update songs iTunes puts about 100 or so songs on then stops and states all songs have been updated. When I select update again it adds another 100 or so. Counting to 8,000 is going to take a while!! Don't know what to do...iTunes 5.0.1.4 9/23/2005 firmware. HELP!

Putting music on iPod Touch from a computer other than the main one

Is it possible to put music from my mac on to my friend's iPod touch without ruining her contacts and/or deleting the music she already has on there. Also, she uses a PC to sync her iPod normally. Should this be a problem?
Also, can I not put on my photos, contacts and iCal events?

You can view and listen to your music library from another computer with Home Sharing turned on. To turn on Home Sharing in iTunes, go to File > Home Sharing > Turn on Home Sharing for both computers. This is for iTunes 11. If you are running an older iTunes, go to Advanced > Turn on Home Sharing.

Charging iPod mini from another computer

I am away from home and would like to charge my iPod on my friends computer. She is running Windows XP off of her PC.
She has told me that last time she charged her own iPod on another system it wiped her memory out. She has iTunes loaded (if this info is of any help).
I would like to make sure this does not happen to me before plugging the iPod into the coputer. Any suggestions?

When you connect the iPod to her computer, you may see this message.
Click no, then eject the iPod but leave the iPod connected to the computer. You can do this by clicking on the little eject icon next to the iPod listing in the source window of iTunes, or right click on it and select “eject”. There is also an iPod 'eject' icon in the lower right hand corner of iTunes. Another way would be to use the “safely remove hardware” icon in the system tray next to the clock (looks like a grey rectangle with a green arrow above it). Click on this then select your iPod. Or through Windows, select start/my computer, right click on the iPod, select eject.
Now, the iPod battery should charge.

How to delete photos albums on ipod copied from my computer?

I copied my photos from my computer to my ipod touch but now need to delete them. I know how to delete the photos that I took with my ipod camera but can't delete the ones I copied to my ipod.
I've gone into iTunes and seleced the photo option but it only lets me check on select sync photo options. How do I delete the photo's?
So annoying!

I tried that but it still didn't remove them from my ipod touch. They are deleted from my main computer. The ipod did it's sync then I selected the photo tab, then it ask me to syn photo from pictures. I clicked on the folder option and deleted the pictures put they are still on my ipod.
On the bottom it has 2 options: revert and apply. What does revert mean?
