Keeping current music on ipod mini

Hello Everyone
I recently purchased a 30gb ipod with color display, however I sold my ipod mini. The person that I sold the mini to really like my selection of music. I am up and running with my new 30gb ipod. How can the the new owner of the mini keep the current songs on the mini and move forward. Is there a way to do this now that they need to start with their own computer?
Thanks.

If the new owner wants the music, you should send him your original CDs.
If you don't want to do that, he should erase all the music and purchase it himself, otherwise it is stealing.

Transfer music from iPod mini to iPod with video

I'm going to be spending a few nights at my friend's house and they plan on giving me their iPod with video. I currently have the iPod mini and I was just wondering if there's a way (in Windows XP) if I can get my music and playlists from my iPod mini to my new iPod with video at my friend's house so I don't have to wait until i can go home and connect it to my PC.

Actually Problem solved!
if anyone wants to know the steps here they are
*make sure your iPod is enabled for hard disk use*
-on your PC, export the library and any playlists to a flash drive or CD (in this case, I'm using a flash drive)
-create a new user account in Windows
-open and setup iTunes
-connect the iPod that has the music you want
-go to FILE then IMPORT, and select all your playlist text files along with your library xml file and import
-when done, connect your NEW iPod and format it
-then sync the music and there you go! all your songs on a new iPod when you don't have access to your PC!

Transferring music to iPod mini via Bonjour

Hello,
Currently enjoying a mac mini since over a year now, we have three iPods connected to it. In a few weeks, we will buy to our son a MacBook (lucky him !) ... well, I was thinking about sharing the music from the mac mini so he can access and play it, but will he be able to manage his iPod mini playlist and transfer his music accessing this shared music library via Bonjour ? or am I confusing things here and would there be another way ? Thank you.
Mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.7) iTunes 6.0.5

When you come up with a good solution be sure to share it!! My wife and I each have our own computer but when she bought her iPod at first she synced it with mine. Worked fine, except while we have a great deal in common, there is music she likes that I don't. And I sometimes resented that she was sitting at my computer ripping CDs when I wanted to use it. I also didn't appreciate how fast she was 'wasting' my hard drive space.
Fine - we eventually bought an external drive for her music and all was fine. But now she rips new CDs, I rip new CDs and we don't always alert each other to these in a timely manner. The other day I discovered she'd bought the Tom Petty boxed set months ago and I hadn't known about it. Grrrr! Sometimes I think about trying out a networked drive but I've never gotten around to it because if it doesn't work out - why else would I want a networked drive?

Help! Can't transfer music to iPod Mini!

Hi there!
I had some CDs that went with my iPod mini that I do not have with me right now for installation when I wanted to set my iPod up with my computer.
So instead of using the CDs, I downloaded iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ ... and I installed it on my computer. I have a Windows XP so I downloaded the one for Windows and so I installed iTunes.
I've got iTunes set up and added music to my library but now I want to transfer it to my iPod mini. I connected the iPod to the computer's USB port and something popped up saying I needed to update my version or something for my iPod...
So I did. I downloaded something called IPodSetup ... something similar to downloading the update for my iPod http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/iPodUpdaterXP/ ... this isn't the website I downloaded it from but I downloaded the update from Apple's site I think.
Upon installing that, it said that it was complete in updating... and so I reconnected my iPod and I get the "Please do not disconnect" ... and it pulls up a folder of some folders inside that for my iPod, and it doesn't stop saying "Please do not disconnect" ... I've looked in the mini-help adobe file but nothing there helped me either.
Please someone help! I'd love to transfer music again to my iPod. I've reset my iPod so far... thought that might help.

Yes. I have done that. I installed the update and then I connect the iPod to the USB port to the computer.
When I do that, at the top left of my mini, a circle rotates clockwise I think with two arrows, and it loads my iPod as a driver I think... atleast that is what I think happens. It opens a window as "my name IPO (F:)" and inside that window is three folders

Help! I can't download updates or music to iPod Mini.

Up to last night my iPod mini has worked perfectly. Now today, I added more songs to my library and unchecked a number of songs within the library and tried to update my iPod with the revised music listing.
However, no I get the following error message: [u]"Attempting to copy to disk "iPod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."[/u] I subsequently retored the iPod, using the new updater, and reloaded iTunes etc, as well as rebooting the PC. Also changed USB ports...
Can anyone tell me what I need to do? I have a factory setting iPod with no music on and apparenly no way of putting any music on it!

Cannot play bought music on iPod Mini (any longer)

My iPod Mini refuses to play (any longer!!!) the songs I bought in the Music Store. It just skips the songs from the moment they are activated. In iTunes the music is played without any problems.

ITunes won't let me select my own music for iPod Mini

Every time I connect my iPod Mini, iTunes generates the following message:
"The iPod cannot be updated because there is not enough free space to hold all of the songs in iTunes music library. Would you like iTunes to automatically select a playlist for you?"
If I click the "Cancel" button, the iTunes closes my iPod mini connection. If I click "Yes", I have no control over what iTunes downloads and cannot erase and replace the songs it chooses for me.
I have already removed and downloaded the iTunes and iPod mini and Updater sofware onto my hard drive. What can I do to have more control over what iTunes puts onto my iMini???
Help!!

Go into iPod preferences (while the iPod's attached) and choose "Update selected playlists" and you'll be able to pick the playlists you want on the iPod.
Or you could switch it to manual and drag the songs to the iPod icon . . .

Cannot transfer purchase music to Ipod Mini

Help. I cannot transfer my purchased music from Itunes to my IPOD mini. I can transfer all other music except music purchased from Itunes. Each time I try, I get a message that tells me to update my IPOD software. But I already have the latest software.
I can transfer purchase music from Itunes to my 2nd generation IPOD with no problems. Why can't I transfer purchased music to my IPOD mini?
I've tried the 5Rs and have restored the mini several times, but nothing seems to work.

Music from iPod mini mysteriously disappered

Hello
I simply charged my iPod mini. Initially it did not charge, so I disconnected the A/C power and plugged it in again. It charged overnight however this morning I turned it on and all of my songs are gone!
Does anyone know what happened?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
You may want to try "The Five Rs". Do you still have the music in your iTunes library?

Is there a way of moving music from iPod Mini to computer?

Hi, I've got heaps of tracks on my iPod Mini, that I don't seem to have in my iTunes Library...
Is there a way to transferring these tracks back onto my computer?
Thanks!

You cannot do it using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, if you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get links for third-party methods and utilities that can transfer song files from iPod to computer.
NOTE: Songs previously purchased from the iTunes Store can also be re-downloaded on the Purchased screen at no cost.

Deleting Music on Ipod Mini

I have some songs I'd like to delete off my iPod Mini. How do
I go about doing so?
I would also like to change some of the names of the songs on there because they are spelt wrong. How do I do this?
Would it be easier to wipe out my whole iPod and just put all my songs back on it? If so, how would I do so?
Thanks!

When the ipod is plugged in, in Edit>Prefernces>iPod, turn it to Only Update Checked Songs
Then, uncheck all of the songs you want off of you ipod.
(You can do this in reverse order, it doesn't matter.

Transfering music from iPod mini to new computer

Ok, so I have two older ipods; the mini and the 4th gen. click wheel version. I no longer have access to the computer that housed both iTunes libraries whatsoever. Now that I have a new comp, how do I transfer my iPod music from both items to the new itunes library?

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However 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. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
iRepo Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.
