Music already on nano

I recently had my PC stolen and replaced. will i lose the music on my nano when I try to sync on the new computer? is there any way to save whats on the nano? I do not have a back up of the songs I had.
thank you

You would probably get better results in the mac form not the windows one. The only way on a mac is to use third party software.

If the music you are wanting to have on your iphone was purchased through itunes you can then go to your front display to settings>itunes and app store from there you have a toggled switch that allows you to automatically download music and apps by toggling the switch. You will need to toggle the switch below these switchs that allows for cellular data to be enabled if this has not already been enabled. This then will automatically download music and apps directly to your device with no additional charge to you.
Good luck.

If someone steels your ipod nano with music already on it, can they then plug the nano into their computer and have access to my itunes account and all the music there also?

If someone steels your idpod nano with music already on it.....can they also plug the stolen ipod into their computer and have my itunes account pop up with all my current music there?

No, the must have your apple id and pw to do so it will also ask for them to erase and sync

My grandson loaded music to my Ipod nano with his Mac computer. Now I'm trying to add music and I have a windows based computer. Itunes is asking me to reformat my Ipod for windows. Will that erase my music already added?

How can I transfer new music from a different iTunes onto my iPod without erasing the music already on it?

I have music on my iPhone and iPod nano from my old computer back home, and am now at college 2 hours away with my new laptop and a different repertoire. Just to be safe I tried syncing my old iPod nano with my new iTunes and rather than adding the music to my iPod it replaced all the music already on it. Is there some way I can stop this from happening with my iPod nano and my iPhone, or am I just going to have to copy everything onto CD's and do things the hard way? If anybody can help me they'll have my undying gratitude.
Much appreciated,
Demitra

TS1363 I just purchased a new iPod and I'm asked to uninstall and reinstall iTunes. What will happen to the 27GB of music already on my Itune library?

I've just purchased a new iPod and I;m told to uninstall and reinstall iTunes so the new nano can be recognized. What will happeen to the 27GB of music already in my Itunes library?

Nothing, but I would back up all that music to an external drive first.

Trouble getting full 1gig of music on 1gig NANO

I just purchased a NANO (1gig). Initially i loaded about 400K of music from itunes to the NANO. Then, I added about 600K of new music to itunes for a total of about 1gig of music on itunes. When i went to update the NANO (which already had 400K of music on it) I received an error message that the memory had been exceeded so it would not update all my new music on my NANO. I then chose to have itunes "autoselect" themusic to be updated. It only added about 880K of music and not the full 1 gig. Is there a way to get ALL of my music on the NANO? Is the true capacity of the 1gig NANO only 880K? Thanks.

Hello,
You may be having the issue where your nano has "fake" used up space.
In this case, try ans see if restoring helps:

How can I transfer my music from ipod nano to iphone?

hi,
i'm seriously considering buying an iphone. but before i do, i just have a couple of questions:
1. How can I transfer my music from ipod nano to iphone?
2. Will there be an iphone with higher memory capacity than 16gb? If so, when will it be out. (If there will be memory sizes of ipod similar to ipod classic, then i think it's better if i wait a little longer considering that there's only little difference in the price).
Thank you!!

I don't believe there will be an iPhone with storage capacity equivalent to the iPod Classic anytime soon - at least not within the next month, or even this year or the next.
The iPod Classic has a hard drive. The iPod Touch and iPhone have Flash storage. Flash storage is more expensive than the hard drive equivalent, but the cost for Flash storage is coming down - supply an demand is probably helping this. The iPod Touch has double the storage capacity of the largest iPhone storage capacity since the iPod Touch doesn't include a cell phone - the case has more room for two 16GB Flash drives. More than likely there will be a 32GB iPhone at some point, but I believe it will be a while before we see a 64GB iPhone or larger approaching the storage capacity that is available with an iPod Classic.

I have completed a keynote presentation with music already. How do I record the slideshow so I can burn it to a DVD disc. I have tried to export it as a Quicktime file but the transitions have been slow that the music finishes first.

How do I record a keynote slideshow with an attached music already? I trid to export it through Quicktime but the final result is different from the original keynote presentation. What I mean is that the slide transitions are slow that the musci finishes first before the slide presentation.

My main computer I have my itunes with died, I had all of my music there. I do have all music on an ipod nano but when I connect it to one of my other computers it wants to erase what is there, can I use the cloud to upload all my music from the nano?

My main computer died where i was keeping tohusands of songs, never had a icloud account to share with all my computers I authorized for my account. I do have just about all of the music ononeofmy ipod nanos. Can I set up a cloud account and then upload all of my music from the nano? Right now it will not allow me to "push" my musicfrom thenano to one of my working computers that I have Itunes on. What can Ido?

No. An iPod Nano has no internet access.

How do I get music already on my laptop on (amazon, Emodio, Windows media player) into my itunes library, I have just done the icloud match as I thought this would do it for me, but the only songs on my phone are the 40 that I already had in itunes..

How do I get music already on my laptop into my itunes account library? I have just done the icloud match thinking this would pick them all up, but it hasn't, all it has done is match the 40 songs I already have in my itunes library. I wanted to get some more music onto my iphone and I am stuck. If someone could assist, that would be great. Thanks. Sue

I have an iPod nano which s loaded with music from a pc. My wife is trying to put the music from the nano onto her Mac laptop. It will not allow her to drag and drop music from the nano to iTunes. How can we get the music from the nano onto her mac laptop

can someone please tell me if it is possible to get music off a nano (loaded from a pc) and into iTunes on a mac laptop ?

You're dealing with two different Apple ID's so that won't work and according to Apple, they cannot be consolidated.

A family member gave our kids their old iphone with music already loaded for them. How do we add the music to our library? It won't transfer purchases from the phone and if I sync it, the music is erased. Can someone walk me through this?

No one here will help you violate iTunes terms of service or steal music.

Adding music to my iPhone from a new computer? Is it possible to do so without erasing music already copied?

I have an iPhone 5c. I originally set it up on my computer at home and copied my music over using iTunes.
I am now away on a trip for a few weeks with work and have a work laptop. I have downloaded iTunes and authorized the laptop. I have some music I want to add it to my iPhone however when I try and manually move the music to the iPhone icon in iTunes I get a little red "no entry" symbol show up.
I understand I can select "manually manage music and videos" however when I click this it wants me to delete all my music and videos and only sync the music already wthin iTunes on this laptop. Obviously this means I will lose all the music currently on my iPhone and only copy the recently downloaded music to it.
1) Is it possible to copy the new music without it deleting my previous music in my iPhone? I don't want to lose my original 50 albums just so I can add another 3!
2) Will syncing it also delete my apps and save game data etc? Or will it only affect my music and videos?
3) Is the "manually manage music and videos" a iPhone option or a iTunes option? I am almost certain I set it originally on my PC so the fact it is now unticked confuses me.
Thanking you in anticipation...

The aim is prevent casual copying so you can't go around to a friend's house and simply copy all of the media from your device onto your friend's computer, or vice versa.
There are tools in the user tip that can recover all of the non-iTunes-purchased media, however the process is really a last restort for when the original library has been lost or damaged and there is no backup.
I believe it is only the media that is at risk, provided you backup the device and transfer apps, but I could be wrong.
FWIW you can, and should, backup your library on a regular basis. If your library is in a portable form you can backup to a portable drive that you can then take with you and manage the device from any other computer running the same build of iTunes.
1) Is it possible to copy the new music without it deleting my previous music in my iPhone? I don't want to lose my original 50 albums just so I can add another 3!
Not when using a different library than was used to put the first 50 there.
2) Will syncing it also delete my apps and save game data etc? Or will it only affect my music and videos?
Uncertain. If you backup the device and transfer purchases then the apps and saved should be safe, and could be restored if needed.
3) Is the "manually manage music and videos" a iPhone option or a iTunes option? I am almost certain I set it originally on my PC so the fact it is now unticked confuses me
iPhones may only be manually managed with a single library. Other devices can be manually managed from multiple libraries. I have no idea why this arbitrary restriction is there, but there is a workaround as given above. You can clone your library to another drive or computer and it will work fine.
