- Transfer iTunes purchases by:

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

Is it possible to transfer songs from ipod to new computer?

I recently bought a new computer and had put the itunes from my old computer onto a hard drive to transfer it over, however it didn't transfer all my songs. Those songs are still on my ipod and I would like to know if it is possible to transfer them from my ipod onto my new computer? PLEASE HELP!!

iTunes will only let you copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchased songs and in some cases, videos and games) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

IS IT POSSIBLE TO TRANSFER SONGS FROM ONE IPOD TO ANOTHER?

I have an ipod full of songs and want to transfer those songs to a different Ipod. (My computer is broken so I cannot simply connect the second ipod to my computer) If I can get my hands on a new computer, is it possible to transfer the contents of my first ipod to the computer, then transfer those songs onto the second ipod?
Thanks.

With the exception of songs purchased from the iTunes Store (which can be transferred from an iPod using iTunes), you have to use a third party utility. I use this one called Music Liberator

but there are many others.
Once you get the songs off the iPod and into the new computer's iTunes, syncing the other iPod will complete the transfer.

Is it possible to transfer songs from my ipod to my new laptop?

Is it possible to transer songs from my ipod to my new laptop? even though I had home share on the last one, it blue screened and won't switch on, and I don't want to lose my music as I only have 1/2 of it backed up on disc.

Purchased songs can only be downloaded once without having to purchase them again.
There are some suggestions in this link about how to attempt to recover lost songs using some 3rd party software.

Transfer songs from Mac to iPod, then transfer songs from PC to same iPod?

I would like to know if it is possible, and how to transfer some songs from my Mac (Power PC G4) to my iPod (iPod 20GB with color display), and THEN transfer some more songs from my husband's computer (Windows PC) to the SAME iPod WITHOUT ERRASING the ones I already transfered from the Mac.
Is this possible? do I need a special sodftware for this? can I find this software free anywhere?
Please help, thank you!

As pointed out by Mitch, the key here is you want to format the iPod (via the Restore command when plugged into the Windows iTunes) for Windows and both machines can read the iPod. Next set the iPod for manual syncing. You can now plug it into either computer and manually add stuff to the iPod or delete items off of it...

When I try to transfer songs from itunes library to ipod touch it says sync in progress but songs are not on my ipod touch?

When I transfer music from itunes library to my ipod touch, it says sync in progress on ipod touch, however, the songs don't show up on ipod touch. I have transferred songs in the past with no problem. Not sure what is different now or what I'm doing wrong-I am very new at this and any help is greatly appreciated.

How is your iPod configured to sync music? In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under your iPod's Summary and Music tabs in iTunes?
Maybe have a look at this article as well to verify your iPod is set up for syncing music.

Upgrading Ipod to touch...able to transfer songs from itunes to new ipod?

I'm upgrading my ipod to a touch. Will I be able to transfer all of my songs from my library to my new ipod? I guess I was under the assumption that you can only have one ipod synced to your library.

this may help

Can no longer manually transfer songs from my itunes to ipod

I use my ipod on many different computers and my main computer (the one at home) was just updated today to the newest version of itunes. I purchased a lot of music from the itunes music store, plugged my ipod in, and when i tried to drag the songs from my library to my ipod (which is what you do when you manually transfer), it wont let me put the songs on my ipod!
I am upset because i just spent like 50 bucks on songs and now my computer is not letting me transfer...does anyone know why it wouild be doing this?
Thanks
Lauren

I have the same issue. I have a first (or second) generation ipod w/ a scroll wheel. I unfortunately updated itunes to #5 this morning. Now I cannot manually transfer any itunes music store purchased songs from my itunes library to my ipod.
I wish I had an answer for this (except hindsight: never upgrade if everything works fine) because I am sooo aggravated right now. Please someone helpÉ

Okay: I just downloaded the latest ipod updater: rebooted my ipod after installing and rebooted itunes. Now I can transfer music from my itunes "purchased" to my ipod... Thanks all!!!!!!

I've got a new iPod touch. How do I transfer songs from my old 'classic' iPod?

So I've got a new iPod touch for Christmas. I want to transfer all the music from my old iPod. I don't store music on my computer, it's just on the iPod. The only solution I can find is to download a program, copy everything from the old one to the computer and then move them to the new one! Seems a lot of work. Is there no official Apple way to just move music across?

Sadly my music collection is too big for the iPod so I gave to pick and choose which songs I want on the iPod at any one time.
Ah! Well, here's a tip.
Use Smart Playlists to manage your iPod. This does of course mean using Sync to manage your iPod, but since manually managing is so much hard work, Syncing makes more sense...
By creating Smart Playlists, (which can add and remove songs according to rules you choose) you can create a Playlist which will be ever changing and you could then manage your iPod by Syncing Selected Playlists to it. You can experiment with Smart Playlists inside your iTunes Library without causing any irreversible damage. If you decide that you like - and can work with them, then is the time to start using them on your iPod.
Examples:
Starting with a very basic Smart Playlist: This Playlist would contain all your songs, providing they haven't been played in x days/weeks/months. Look at the following screenshots:
In the shot above, I've created a Smart Playlist with the rule "Playlist is Music". This Playlist will automatically fill with all the songs in my Library, taking up 123.16GB in storage. Now look what happens if I tick the box named "Match only ticked items":
This step was simply to keep my Playlist tidy, i.e. not having music that I don't have on my iPod anyway. Watch what happens though, if I add another rule designed to keep out songs that I've played recently and so don't want to here again for a while:
With this one simple additional rule, my Playlist is reduced from 123GB to just 61.75GB. However, if I only have a 64GB iPod, then even that's too large, so by increasing the number of weeks...
... I reduce the size of the Playlist to a more manageable 51.18GB.
What happens then is that I Sync selected Playlists to my iPod, i.e. this Smart Playlist, which you'll notice I have named "Reduce size Playlist".
I then have 51GB of music on my iPod, which I can then look for (and play) in exactly the same way as before, by Artist, Song, Genre etc.
At the next Sync with your iTunes Library, any songs that have been played recently are removed from the Playlist, while any songs that were last played more than 125 weeks ago are added back to the Playlist and the Playlist on the iPod (and therefore the songs on the iPod) is updated.
Now - that's the basic version. By creating more sophisticated Smart Playlists, you can Sync selected Artists, Albums etc. with your iPod so that any songs that you always want on it are there, while songs you don't cherish so much are only put back on after a while of last playing. For example, you could have five star songs go back on after just two months, four star songs after three months, and so on. If you use Playlists, you can Sync those as well, so that you can play by Playlist if you so wish. You could even keep the Recently Played Playlist on your iPod so that all songs recently played are left on the iPod for two weeks after last being played. If a song gets played again, it stays in the Recently Played Playlist, so it stays on the iPod. But if it doesn't get played for two weeks, it gets removed from the iPod.
If this sounds as though may help you, but you need help with Smart Playlists, you can always ask in this forum.

How do i transfer songs from itunes to my ipod

I tried to transfer a song that i bought from the itunes library to my ipod but a message always pops up that says i am not authorized to play it on my computer. what does this mean and how do i put the song on my ipod?

You need to play at least a part of songs purchased from the iTMS to authorize them. They won't copy to your iPod until you do this.
How to transfer Purchased Music from iTunes to your iPod
iTMS Song and Computer Authorization
If you've played & authorized them in iTunes and they still skip, try this. De-authorize the computer in iTunes/Advanced menu, then re-authorize it. You re-authorize it by playing one of the songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store within iTunes. It should ask you for your Apple ID and password, and then the computer will be authorized again. Sync your iPod with iTunes, and those songs should play on the iPod once again.
Another common cause of this is not having the latest version of iTunes.
If you are using the latest version of iTunes (6.0.2), then you need to make sure your iPod software is up to date also. Get the iPod Updater software, install it, run it and update your iPod.
When you have done this, authorize your music in iTunes by playing a few seconds of it within iTunes, re-sync your iPod, and it should transfer by whatever synching method you choose.

Is it possible to transfer songs from a rhapsody account over to itunes

Both of my kids were given I pod touches for christmas and previously had mp3 players that used rhapsody. Is it possible to transfer their music from their rhapsody acconts over to itunes. Also, if they both want the same songs downloaded from the itunes store, can they do this without paying for it twice?

If the use the same Apple ID/iTunes account they can share the iTunes purchases.
If the Rahapsody songs are regular, non-DRM/Copy protected the just import them into your iTunes library and then sync

How to transfer songs from iPhone 4S to iPod Touch 4G

Hello users of iPhones and iPods etc all over the world...
My mum recently brought an iPod 4G and wants to transfer her songs from her iPhone 4S to this new iPod. I have spent all afternoon trying to work out how to via iTunes and Apple Support, however there is no use - I have tried backing the iPhone up to my laptop and booting it to the restored iPod Touch, however with 3 attempts all failed. Both devices have the latest iOS, so there is no issue there. One thing is that I'm using Windows 8 Asus X501A, however this should not make any difference from if it was a Windows 7 for that fact.
I'm usually quite fluent with my iDevices and technology, but have just gone clueless.
Many thanks

Is it possible to transfer songs from iTunes into anotther program?

My friends wants some songs from my iTunes library and copy them to his Zune program, but when we tried, the songs had a lock on them. Both programs are on the same computer and the computer is authorized to play the songs..any suggestion on what to do?

If these are tracks purchased from the iTunes Store, they cannot be played on a Zune, just as Zune tracks cannot be played in iTunes or on an iPod.
