Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Try following this guide which explains how to move your iTunes Library to your new computer. This works best if your library is smaller than the iPod capacity. If not click the use alternative CD/DVD method explained on the first paragraph of the guide.

Ipod Mini generation 2 sync with ipod nano

I have an older version of i podmini generation 2 that i am uable to sync with the songs from my new ipod nano. The battery from my old mini is dead and instead of sending it in ... i receievd the new nano for X-mas.But now i can not add the song list from my old ipod to the new old .I have purchased a new Labtop since i got the first mini and never added the playlist to my new computer untill i received this new ipod. Does that have anything to do with the issue? sO MY QUESTION IS ... THERE ANY WAY TO ADD THE SONG LIST FROM MY OLD IPOD TO MY MY NEW IPOD?

In order to sync the songs that are on your old iPod Mini to your new Nano, they need to be imported and stored in your iTunes library first.

New trouble syncing my iPod Nano to Mac OSX 10.4.11

I know there have been discussions on this issue but I'm still needing help. Simply put I have an iPod Nano 4GB and it's about 3.5 years old. I've never had trouble syncing but when I went to charge my Nano, it charged but didn't sync. I look at my iTunes library and I can't even see my device. In fact, I don't even see a 'device' folder. Can somebody help with a 'lay' explanation for me and step by step process on how to get syncing again! (Also, I've received noticed that my USB doesn't have enough power which is a new event as well. Grrrr.

I'm 60 and I can read it. And if I couldn't I would certainly get someone at the store to either get me a magnifying glass or read it to me. And your complaint would seem to be with Argos rather than Apple. I personally wouldn't trade with someone who would not let me read the minimum requirements on the box before purchasing.
No, there is a syndrome at work it but you've yet to get it right. You are correct that you need iTunes to use the 6th Generation Nana, but since iTunes is free and is available on computers from Apple, Dell, HP, Toshiba, Gateway, etc. I fail again to see how this is a vendor lock-in. And after a few months Xplay and others will catch up and provide alternate music managers.

Can't select podcasts to sync with iPod Nano

I am running iTunes 12.1.0.71 (64-bit) on a Windows 8 computer. When I have my iPod Nano connected to the computer and try to manually check the podcasts I want to sync, the checkboxes don't work as they should. When I click on the check box of a podcast, it sometimes selects the podcast above it, sometimes it selects nothing -- what it never does is select the podcast next to the check box (ie the one I want to sync). Any ideas??

Kiwi if you're still following this, I have a workaround. Instead of going to the iPod sync screen, instead just start on your normal iTunes Podcasts screen. You can manually drag individual episodes to the left side of the screen, and your iPod should show up right above your playlists. Very cumbersome if you have non-sequential episodes you want to add, but it works. You can also ctrl-click to select or deselect all podcasts in the normal syncing screen.
Back in the good old days, these sorts of workarounds were much easier to discover since there were always a dozen different methods to do the same task. Unfortunately I've found that is becoming harder and harder with iTunes.

New computer help with ipod

My old computer was stolen along with back up disks. I bought a new computer and I need to know how to transfer existing songs from my ipod to a new computer.

Hi Deeg!
NOTE: The following steps and advice may or may not work on a Windows Vista PC, as they are meant for either Windows 2000 or XP. In short, you'll be basically doing these things at your own risk.
First, install the latest iTunes before you connect your iPod to your computer, if you haven’t done that already (to download iTunes, go here).
Then, when it comes time to connect your iPod to your computer, let's start out with preventing iTunes from automatically syncing with your iPod, which would delete all of the contents off of it. Although this is unlikely, let's go ahead and do it to be safe:
1 - Open iTunes.
2 - Connect your iPod to your computer.
3 - Basically as soon as your iPod begins to display "Do Not Disconnect", begin to press and hold the Shift and Ctrl keys on your keyboard together simultaneously.
4 - Continue to hold these keys for about 20 seconds throughout the time that your iPod is showing up in the Source List in iTunes, and syncing.
After you've done this, click on your iPod's name in the Source List, and under the "Summary" tab, tick the "Manually manage" option for your iPod. Click the "Apply" button in the bottom-right corner to save your changes.
Also, when you connect your iPod to your computer, you will get a message that says: "The contents of the iPod "your iPod's name" is synced to another iTunes library. What would you like to do?"
Please make sure to click on "Cancel" when you receive this message, and NOT "Erase and Sync", or else your iPod's songs will be replaced with the current contents of your iTunes library, deleting anything that isn’t currently backed up.
After you've prevented your iPod's songs from being lost when doing that, we can transfer the iPod's songs to your computer.
There are a couple of methods in doing this, including the first method laid out in this post. (It also contains a link to MacMuse's post about iPod-to-computer transfer, as well)
The most straightforward method in copying your iPod's songs to your computer, however, might be to download a third-party program that can do this for you.
For example, if you are on a Windows computer, you can use YamiPod (I find it a fairly easy program to figure out and use with both of my iPods).
As a note, you will have to have iTunes closed when you run this program, though.

Can i transfer music from my new computer to my ipod nano?

I have been happily using my new ipod nano for some months. I have just bought a new computer. I downloaded itunes for the new computer and started to add some new cds. Now i am connecting my nano to the new computer for the first time and am trying to get the new albums transfered to the nano. I am worried about loosing all the music from my old computer of course, so i selected the 'manage files manually' option. Well i haven't lost the old tunes yet but just can't figure out how to move the tunes manually (from the 'recently added' list) to my nano. Any ideas?

The latest iTunes may hide the sidebar. To show the sidebar, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
Find your iPod in the sidebar under DEVICES. Select the Recently Added playlist in the sidebar, to show the list of songs on the playlist to the right. Click-hold-drag the song you want to the iPod in the sidebar. You can select and drag multiple songs at the same time.
Alternately, you can select the song or songs on the playlist, right-click on the selection, select Add to Playlist from the menu, and choose your iPod as the target.

Has the Nike+ sync with iPod Nano 5th gen been fixed?

Some months ago I had problems syncronising my pedometer walks from my iPod Nano 5th generation to the Nike+ website via iTunes. I then had read that many people were having the same problems. It would seem like if it had syncronised, but then you would see '0' on your fuel. It had been said that the problem would be fixed by late Autumn/Fall. Has this been fixed?
Thanks in advance for your kind reply.

From http://support-en-us.nikeplus.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/36812/p/3169,3171
"At this time, pedometer workouts cannot be uploaded to nikeplus.com through iTunes. Depending on your specific configuration (iPod nano generation, iTunes version, etc.), you may receive either an error message or no response if you attempt to upload pedometer data.
The Nike+ team may create an upload option for iPod nano pedometer users in the future. We appreciate your patience as we work to implement this option, and we encourage you to keep tracking your steps in the meantime."

I just bought a new laptop and my ipod nano will not stay connected to my computer. When I first connect the ipod it starts to sync on my ipod but not on itunes. The ipod is initially connected to my computer, I can see it when I look on devices in my computer. However, when it finishes syncing it is no longer detected to my computer. I cannot transfer any of my songs to my new laptop because of this. I have tried to reinstall itunes, reset my ipod and use a different port. None of these things worked. Any ideas?

How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

Can I sync my ipod nano with my second computer/ netbook while travelling?

Looking for some advice on how to connect my IPod nano with my second computer while travelling. That's what happened: I have my iTunes library on my computer at home and can sync my IPod nano (6 th generation, replaced onyl recently) with that library. While I was travelling and wanted to use my IPod I received an error message asking me to connect the IPod with iTunes in order to recover/restore (sorry, the message apeared in German, so I do not know the exact wording in English) . As I only had my second computer - a small netbook - with me, I downloaded iTunes and connected the iPod - only to receive the message that this Ipod would sync with another computer (sure!) and would I want to sync it with this iTunes library instead now? (Of course not, I did not dare because that library was empty!). So there I was with my computer with iTunes library at home and an iPod stuck in recovery mode and not doing a thing during my vacation. Any suggestions? If I have to take my great big workstation with me to get the iPod running again, I might just as well leave the iPod immobile at home. (;-)

On your home computer connect your Nano, click on the name in iTunes, move right to the Summary tab then tick the box that says Manually Manage Music. You will now have to er, manually drag your music to your iPod, and manually eject it when done, but you will be able to add music from two different computers.

My new iPad is synced with iTunes but now it won't recognize my iPod nano. How do I get it to recognize both? iTunes synced with my Nano just fine until I added the iPad.

HT1364 I got a new computer and my IPOD will not sync with the new computer? what am I doing wrong....thanks

I got a new computer and my IPOD will not sync with the new computer.....I have a ITUNES account on the new computer and is downloading music just fine but it will not sync to the IPOD....What should I do to sync my IPOD? thanks

Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
Attempts to sync an iDevice to a new computer will remove all content from the device and replace it with content from the new, empty library.
