You can't copy directly from one iPod to another. If the songs aren't in iTunes you need to copy them back from your old iPod and update the new one from there.
The transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
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 read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
iRepo Mac and Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
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

  • Buying a new iPod,,how can I transfer all my songs over?

    My 30gb iPod which I've had since May of 2006 sad to say may be on it's last legs. It did not make it through my morning workout today, crapped out at the 15 minute mark. I think it was fully charged, the battery indicator showed a full charge when I started my workout, but it died right around the 15 minute mark of my workout.
    So if I buy a new iPod, how do I get all my songs on it. I have over 5000 songs on iTunes (they're all backed up on my external hard drive too) and I just need to know what I would have to do to use a new iPod and upload my entire iTunes library.

    Hello blackhawks2488,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    If all your music is located in your iTunes library, all you have to do is simply plug the iPod in, register it, set it up sync however you wish, actually sync it and be on your way.
    There is no limit to the number of devices you can have synced with one iTunes library or account.

  • I had my Ipod touch 4gen on itunes of computer that crashed. On new computer i updated it, hit the wrong button, and lost everything. How do i get my old songs, apps, and account money back?

    I had my ipod 4gen itunes on a computer that crashed. With the new computer I update it to the lastest version. I hit the wrong transfer button and lost everything. How do I get my old songs, apps, and money back from my old account, if thats possible?

    I cant find any of my recently bought songs or the apps i have purchased. When I was updating my ipod there was a button that asked about transfering purchases and I didnt read it, and I didnt update manually so i think thats why i lost everything. I clicked on the intrustions and clicked on apps and i coulnt find any of my old stuff.

    If this is a question about syncing with iTunes, you might want to post it over in the iTunes forum.

    I have had itunes library to go away and itunes create a new one. how do I get my old one back?

    Hello,
    Did you delete the library ?
    If no, press the Option/alt key when you open iTunes and you should see a message and be able to choose a library.

  • My last computer crashed and it had all my songs and i got a new ipod how do i get those songs back

    ok so my last computer crashed and it had all my songs and that day i got a new ipod how do i get those songs back thast i paid for?

    If the songs are not on an iPod or a computer (didn't you have a backup of your computer files?) you are probably out of luck since you only get one download of music from the iTunes store and it is up to you to back them up.  However, the Itunes store may allow a redownload if you explain what happened.  Go to the following and select the appropriate topic to contact them.

  • How can I get my old pictures onto my android?

    I was wondering how I can get my old pictures onto my android from my Verizon account?

    Which phone do you have?
    Easiest way is to change the storage location to the removable SD card then put that in your other phone (provided it has an SD card slot)
    Other options Change storage to SD card then use a computer to transfer to the new phone
    Plug old phone into the computer, load the driver and copy them off the old phone to the computer, then plug new phone in and copy them to the new phone
    Download JS Backup from the Play store onto both phones (provided the new one is an android as well) then on the old phone use the Device to device transfer method to create a backup, and on the new phone use the device to device import to import the pics.
    Whatever you do.... STAY AWAY from Verizon Cloud. Chances are you will never see all of your pictures again and will have tons of trouble getting to them to move or do anything with them.  If you want to use a Cloud Storage, get Dropbox on your old phone and new phone, move the pics into dropbox then onto the new phone.

  • How do I get my old contacts onto my iPhone 5? Have tried with iCloud, but no luck.

    How do I get my old contacts onto my iPhone 5? Have tried with iCloud, but no luck.
    I backed up my old iPhone on iCloud, ensuring that contacts was 'on' and then backed up my new iPhone 5. I have surely missed a vital step, but I can't figure it out.
    I'd really appreciate any help.
    Thanks!
    Laura

    I have also realised that my contacts are not in iCloud. I have backed up my old iPhone several times (today!) and they are simly not getting there. Any ideas?

  • My old computer wouldnt let me authorize me to play my songs, even thought I submitted the password and ID. Now I bought a new computer, and I cant get my old songs back. What do I do?

    My old computer wouldnt let me authorize me to play my songs even though I submitted the password and Windows ID. Now I bought a new computer, and I cannot get my old songs back. What do I do?

    This can be resolved through a phone call to Apple, provided you can pass the verification process:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    You'll need to speak to someone in Account Security.

  • New computer, how can I get my photoshop elements onto it?

    New computer, how can I get my photoshop elements onto it?

    I have no idea where the original installation media is, cloning the entire system right now is very unwise as there were many problems which I do not want to affect my new system.  Is there any other way to do it.  I see that the key is registered in my stuff box.

  • How do I get my old songs (from my iPad 2) to my new iPad 2?

    Hi, I want to get my old songs from my old iPad 2 to my new iPad 2.  Also I want my bought apps.  Oh, I have another ipad 2 because I got a replacement.

    Do you sync with iTunes or backup with iCloud at all?
    All you have to do is to connect the iPad to your computer and then sync with iTunes to get everything back to the new iPad. If you have synced the old iPad recently, when you connect the new iPad - you will be asked if you want to restore from the backup of the old iPad. Say yes to that option and after the Pad restores from the backup, sync with iTunes and your apps and all content should transfer to the new iPad.

  • HT1414 i backed up tha data on my iphone before i unlocked and restored as "new." how can i get the data back onto my iphone?i backed up tha data on my iphone before i unlocked and restored as "new." how can i get the data back onto my iphone?

    Hi,
    I wanted to unlock my at&t iphone 3gs that i had for 3  years.  i was told to back up the data on my phone and then restore it as new.  now i don't have any data i had before it was restored. how can i get that data back onto my iphone 3gs?  can i put that data on my ipad?

    Is it an iTunes backup or an iCloud backup? If iTunes, connect the iPhone, right click on the name of the iPhone under the DEVICES section in iTunes. Click on Restore from Backup.
    If iCloud, on the iPhone go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. When the device powers back on, you will see the original setup screens you saw when your iPhone was fresh out of the box. One of these screen asks you if you want to restore. Choose Restore from iCloud backup.
