Music from Old Ipod to New One

I recently cracked my 6th generation ipod Nano that has over 600 songs on it and I want to buy a new Nano but because most of my songs on the Nano are from a computer I no longer have the hard drive for I am wondering how I can get the songs from that ipod onto a new one without losing any of the music??

If the songs on your mini are not on your computer then you need to take the tracks from the mini and put them in iTunes, you can't transfer from iPod to iPod. If they are on the computer then all you need to do is connect your new iPod and it will update automatically. There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod and return them to iTunes. This is just a selection, have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

  • Transfer Playlists & Music from old Ipod to new one - Shared ITunes

    I have just bought a new ipod nano and want to transfer the music and playlists from my old 2nd generation ipod over. Unfortunately I share a computer and the library in ITunes isn't mine. I can connect both old and new ipods at the same time but obviously I Tunes won't let me just copy over. Any advice / suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

  • Have iPod that about 8 years old. Want to transfer music from old iPod to new iPod.

    My ipod is about 8 years. Want to transfer music fron old ipod to new one. Can that be done ?

    Hello try again
    All your media should be in iTunes so you can sync using iTunes to get the music over. If you have any purchases from the iTunes Store you may transfer them to your iTunes library.

    Hi’
    I bought a iPhone 4, but how do I get my music from my old ipod to the new iphone.
    BTW. The old ipod is on one computer and my new iphone 4 is on another computer.
    Anyone that can help?

    Here is one way which will also transfer playcount, playlists, etc. Do it this way and your iTunes library will be identical on both computers.

  • GET MUSIC FROM OLD IPOD TO NEW IPOD

    so i recently got the color ipod for my birthday, and i have the older model ipod [first ipod made i believe?]. i also am using a different computer than when i was first using my old ipod. i have about 3500 songs on my old ipod, and i dont know how to get the songs on my new ipod. they arent on my new computer, so ive been trying everything i can think of, if anyone can help me, it would be very much appreciated !!

    First of all, put the music from the old iPod back to your new computer (and then into iTunes).
    try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    There is also CopyPod. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
    Once the music is safely in your new iTunes library, you can transfer it to the new iPod.

  • Transferring music from old iPod to new Apple ID

    I recently purchased my 1st iPhone and changed my Apple ID when I did.  I just tried logging into my iTunes on my PC for the 1st time since and my music from my iPod is no longer there.  When I connect my iPod to the computer, I can see the music under the iPod and "On this iPod".  How do I transfer the music to my music in iTunes so that I can transfer it to my iPhone?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    your AppleID is like your SSI# you cannot transfer infromation from one to the other. what ever you purchased under the old AppleID is linked to that ID only.

  • How to transfer music from old computer to new one

    The logic board is shot on my old iBook. I bought a new one. I can access the old one through target disk mode. I replaced the iTunes folder on the new one with the iTunes folder from the old one but the music doesn't show up in the library. If I go to the iTunes music folder and click on a song it gets added to the new library, but I have 4000 songs. My admin user name is the same on both computers. What's the secret?

  • Transfer music from old iPod to new iMac

    Have a 30G iPod that was synced with old computer that crashed. Bought new iMac and want to transfer music from iPod to new iMac. Tech Support not able to help. Any LEGAL ideas?

    With a nod to veteran poster Zevoneer...here's what you should know.
    The transfer of content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod, but there are third-party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod. Some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Check out the web pages for more info. This is just a sample of what's available.

  • Transfer music from old ipod to new ipod...for free?

    My husband dropped his ipod touch and it got run over. He has a new ipod touch but we can't figure out how to transfer his music from his old ipod to his new one. There's 800 songs on his old one. For some reason, the old ipod syncs photos into itunes but not songs? We've already spent enough money one the ipods and music...I don't  really want to pay for all the software stuff to do it. Is it really that difficult? We were hoping we could just plug both ipods into the laptop and drag and drop in iTunes...but apparently that's not possible either. Help?!

    All music that was on the iPod Touch should be your iTunes library on your computer. If Sync Music was selected under the Music tab for the iPod Touch sync preferences with iTunes, any music purchased from the iTunes store direct with the iPod Touch would have been copied to the iTunes library automatically with the first sync with iTunes after doing so. iTunes also includes an option for any music downloaded direct with the iPod Touch will be downloaded automatically by iTunes on your computer.
    Photos on your computer can be transferred to an iOS device via the iTunes sync/transfer process but photos are not stored by iTunes.
