New computer, set up Nano?

I just received a new beautiful computer (thanks, titi!) and i have an ipod nano. Is there anything i need to do to set up this computer to make my ipod work with it? when i plug in my ipod and click "ipod" on the left toolbar thing, i dont see the songs on my ipod, i just see ipod options. How do i view my songs? also, when i put a cd with mp3s in the drive, itunes doesnt acknowledge the fact that there is a cd there and wont play or show it. why?
Thankyou!

"when i plug in my ipod and click "ipod" on the left toolbar thing, i dont see the songs on my ipod, i just see ipod options. How do i view my songs?"
Click on the little chevron > to the left of the iPod icon in the Source list. This will display the various icons for the iPod itself, Music, Movies, TV Shows and Playlists. Click on Music and you'll see the traditional song view with the information at the bottom.
"when i put a cd with mp3s in the drive, itunes doesnt acknowledge the fact that there is a cd there and wont play or show it. why?
To get songs into iTunes from an MP3 CD open the CD in Windows Explorer and drag the files to the iTunes source list. Alternatively choose Add File to Library or Add Folder to Library from the File menu in iTunes and then select the song file or folder you want to add: About the Add to Library, Import and Convert functions

  • I have a new computer and my nano erased my library from it.  How do i get the songs onto my nano?  It will sync the new purchases but not the original music

    My nano original music was erased from my nano.  How do i download the music again?

    if you had non-purchased music on your ipod nano and synced with a new computer it does an erase and sync as it can only be synced to one library at a time - if you have not yet done the erase and sync then you can google some kind of ipod extractor software to see if you can get the non-purchased music off the device - back to the computer - and back into itunes - good luck

  • Transfer IPOD purchases to new computer from IPOD nano

    I am wanting to download my songs from my IPOD nano to my new computer and it wont let me transfer my purchases to the new computer. I have authorize my new computer and it still won't let me. Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong? I am not computer savvy so any direction would need to be very specific!!!

    No.  If you try to sync your iPod with a new iTunes library, it'll erase all content from the iPod and replace it with the content that is in the new iTunes library. 
    So if you need to move data from your iPod back to your new PC first, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different methods and software available to assist you with this task.

  • HT1296 sync new songs on new computer to ipod nano

    My old computer "crashed" but I had songs backed up. I purchased a new computer. But all my songs I have purchased will not sync on my ipod nano. Can anyone help?

    I have already tried following those steps. I went back and tried to follow them again but they did not work. Some of my songs have synced, some have not. And I am still not seeing the Autofill icon on the bottom of the menu or anywhere else. I fear something has been corrupted here and I need to start afresh.

  • New Computer:  Setting it up without losing music

    Hiya:
    I just purchased a new laptop, and installed iTunes on it. I'm very cautious concerning my iPod: I don't want all my music to get erased! Is there a way that I can transfer new albums and such from my laptop to my iPod without losing all the songs already on there?

    Hey Eileen, Seems as though you have the same legitimate problem as any other new computer purchaser. The way that I would suggest you do it is as follows:
    1) When you plug in the iPod, in itunes it will give you a window, telling about the iPod being linked to another computer and would you like to change it to this computer, select no.
    2) The other pop-up that will showup will be the F:\ or E:\ drive. In this window, go Tools -> Folder Options -> And Select the Radio Button that will ask you to show hidden files and folders. There will be a new folder that will show up on your drive.
    3) Click once on this folder, on the side taks pane, click Copy The Selected Files. Move these files to somewhere easy to find.
    4) One they are copied go into itunes, Select File, Add Folder to Library, and the new file that you added to the computer from the ipod. Select Ok, and your songs should begin to import into the itunes Library. When this is done unplug and plug back in the ipod and when it asks you this time to sync with this library, select yes, and your music will be erased from the ipod and reinstated as a new library in unison with the songs you have on your new Laptop!
    Hope this was helpful.

  • New computer, same ipod nano. cant access songs

    i just got a new laptop and all my songs are on my old computer. i have an ipod nano 2g. i know i have to transfer them using an external drive or disc. but is there a way to transfer them off my ipod? alos when i use itunes on my new notebook it says that the ipod is synced with another library and i cant get my songs on it! please help....

    Connect your iPod to your computer. When you 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 iTunes Music Store 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 content from other sources 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.

  • HT1351 lost ability to authorize a new computer for Ipod nano, how do i get it back?

    Had to buy a new harddrive and lost all my itune info. Went to Itune store as asked, clicked on my account as told to authorize this version of my computer.
    This computer was authorized with the old harddrive but I am getting a message that my Ipod is corrupted. I was told to authorize same but can't. I had a spot to deauthorized computers but none to authorize a new one. I think this is why I am not recognized now(??)

  • New computer set up for performance

    i would like to have a bit of help making sure i have configured Pr Ae and Sg to match the peformance my computer can afford.
    namely i am not sure how to configure scratch disks render drives and export drives. also id like to make sure that my Quadro 4000 is being taken advantage of as well.
    the video tutorial is pretty generic for this. also i think i may not have ordered enough RAM. i have dual 6 core xeon chips with HT that equals 24 threads i believe. i only have 32 GB of RAM installed. should i have 48 GB to really let things fly?
    my hard drive configuration is as follows:
    256 GB samsung 830 SSD boot with apps
    4TB RAID 5 seagate constellations (internal)
    256 GB samsung 840 Pro SSD
    i will intially work with SD footage via a miniDV camcorder but i plan to move to HD via a Canon 7D very soon. i also have access to a lot of external storage via a LAN that connects me to a dell poweredge server.

    Moving this discussion to the Premiere Pro CS5, CS5.5, & CS6 forum.

  • How do i download my music off my nano 5 to my new computer with windows 8.1

    I have a new computer with widows 8.1. I installed I-tunes newest version. Now I need to download my old songs, to my new computer, off my Nano 5. How do I do this without taking a chance on losing all my old songs ? My Nano 5 showed up on the I-tunes but will not let me transfer new music to it, or download the old ones.

    Was having the same problem and found a video that shows how to get your songs back on itunes. I just did it and it's fairly simple.

  • Old computer died - need to get itunes songs/apps on new computer

    Our old computer has died. Repair guy is able to retrieve files from hard drive. My kids have an ipod nano and ipod touch. How do we get the new computer set up and get all of the songs/apps/movies onto the new computer? Should I ask repair guy to look for specific file on hard drive or will itunes get info from their ipods when they plug in?

    You should contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations (Do not ask for more than that or they might not help).

  • A Varation on the How do I move my music to a new computer question.

    I have a new (Win 7) computer with which I want to use my I-Tunes music library.  Currently the library itself resides on an extern (USB) hard drive connected to my old computer (Win XP).  However, the library files (itl and xml) reside on the internal hard drive of the old computer.
    My problem is that part of the transfer is easy and obvious, but the rest of it seems unclear to me.
    I'm pretty sure I could just plug the external drive into the new computer, and in ITunes on the new computer, set the folder location on the hard drive as the location of my library and then add the content to the library and have access to my full library.
    Except, I would not have the play-lists.  They are sitting in the itl file on the old computer.
    So, my question is:  How do I move that information as well?
    I'd be grateful for any suggestions.
    John

  • I do not have my discs for install.  My main computer is dying and purchased new computer.  How can I reinstall on new computer without discs?

    Hi,
    My main computer is dying - keys do not work and video is gone.
    I purchased a new retina Macbook pro and want to reinstall Logic Audio Pro 9.  I do not have my original discs.  I can still access the program on the original Macbook to deauthorize if necessary.
    But how can I reinstall wihtout the discs?
    Any help would be great.  Thank you!

    Carbon Copy Cloner -or-
    You could remove the HD and put it in an External Enclosure -or-
    Maybe try using Apple's Migration Assistant -and finally-
    Once you have the new computer set up you may want to use Time Machine

  • HT5312 I have just upgraded to a new computer and cannot remember my security questions can you help me please

    I would like to have my security questions reset I don't remember my answer for my favorite car. I just had a new computer set up because my xp was outdated

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
