New macbookpro, old ipod nano

So I did a search and went through a number of threads but found no answer. That might mean that there is no solution, but I'm hoping not.
just got a replacement MBP, but no chance to use the migration assistant. So I have to sync my old ipod to my new comp if I want to add anything. I've gone and set everything to manual. But it still wants to reset the ipod and it wont let me create a back up.
Is there a way I can back up and/or sync the ipod without losing everything?

not sure how to interpret your response.
I have my old HD, actually. The issue is that itunes, for some reason, will not let me transfer anything. Nor will it let me create a back up of the ipod contents (I don't want to lose my angry birds and fruit ninja scores, after all).
So for whatever the reason I am stuck with having to either lose everything or not update it.
To be clear, I accidentally wrote nano, it is actually a 3rd gen touch I am trying to sync. Too many apple products and in busy times there was a slip up.

  • FROZEN Brand New Week Old iPod Nano 3rd Generation!!!!

    I just got this ipod. I was listening to music.. and went to plug it in. Then I did, and it FROZE. It wont move, the hold isnt on. Ive tried every button, plugging it back in.. and so much more. It wont show up in my computer and it doesnt respond to anything i do. No, i havent dropped it or anything. Ive been treating it like royalty. Help!

    I've only had mine just over a month. I just connected it to the USB to update and it froze on me. It thinks it's locked, but I've toggled the lock back and forth numerous times (as it says to on the support page). The backlight remains on, and menu+select does nothing, no matter how long I hold my fingers down. Plugging it into the charger and back into the Mac did nothing either. I'm guessing it's a case of just waiting for the battery to run out.
    It's going to have to go back, isn't it? grumble

  • I had an old iPod nano with my files saved on it and was stolen. I cannot find my old account. I bought an iTouch and made the new account that was needed for it to function. I was wondering how i could find my old account and get all the content back.

    I had an old iPod nano with my content saved on it and was stolen. As well, I can't find and access my old account that I had with it. I bought an iPod touch and made a new account so that I could use the iTouch. Anyone know how to find the old account and how to transfer data from the old one to the new account?

  • Can I exchange the old iPod nano for the new iPod nano?

    I was wondering if I can exchange my old iPod nano for a new one even if it costs a tiny bit extra.

    Hi Deborah,
    Your profile doesn't say what country you live in, but for example, if you go to the US Apple online store, you can click on the
    b Sales and Refunds
    link at the bottom of the page, to find Apple's policy.
    I'd suggest you dig a bit deeper into the online store site until you get to the appropriate
    b education store
    webpage, in case the
    b Sales and Refunds
    links at the bottom of that page leads to a modified policy.
    And even if you are past the stated
    b Refunds
    period, you have nothing to lose by calling the appropriate number (eg. in the US: 1-800-676-2775) to see if you can get a Return Material Authorization, especially since you wish to order a new computer at the same time. The worst they can say is "no".
    I'm assuming the iBook transaction was entirely online, but if it was instead bought through a campus bookstore to get the educational discount, the campus bookstore would then be another place to approach to see if they have different policies to the online store.
    best of luck,
    ...ben
    PS. I assume you know that this is a user-to-user discussion forum, and Apple won't respond to the questions you post here? But you will certainly find empathetic, fellow Mac owners who are happy to help you if they can.

  • HT1209 how to transfer music from old iPod nano to new iPod touch

    how to transfer music from old iPod nano to new iPod touch ?

    The 1st and 2nd gen iPod shuffle can only be used with one iTunes library (not "account") at a time.  Your Apple ID and password does not matter.  (Later shuffles can be used with more than one iTunes library, IF it is set to use the Manually manage music option.)
    So, if you sync it with a different iTunes library, the previous content will be replaced.  You need to offload the existing content to your new computer's drive as the first step.
    You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.  (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
    Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to the iTunes library.  After confirming all of your songs are there, sync your shuffle with that iTunes library.

  • My wife has an old Ipod nano tied to an old Apple ID. How do I update that to our new combined iTunes account

    My wife has an old Ipod nano tied to an old Apple ID. How do I update that to our new combined iTunes account

    My wife has not updated this iPod for about 3 years.  She had an old Apple account, for which, we don't have either the login or the password to anymore.   She has been using my Apple account for Aps and other orders from Apple for her iPad, hence, the combined account, be it really is my account.  A week ago, she decided to fire up the old iPod and order and paid for a lot of new music.  That music is all there on my computer under my account.  It initially would not sync to my account in iTunes and not only that it wiped out all the old songs that were on the iPod. I then did the restore as instructed, which wiped out anything else on the iPod.  Once complete, the iPod showed up under the name to "test account." I have no idea how that happened as it was previously named Mary's iPod.  During the process, I was not asked for a name nor can I now find a place to change the name.  It is very strange, the test account icon shows up on the screen in my iTunes account, all of her new music is there, but every time I sync to the iPod, it goes through the process but does not add the songs. The iPod is completely blank now. 

  • I tried to set up a new library for my old ipod nano so i could update songs on it however when i tried to import songs from a cd it crashed and i had to end task therefor not getting to sync the new songs with ipod nano. now i cant find old library

    However during the process of adding new songs itunes crashed and i had to end task therefor not getting the chance to sync the new songs onto ipod nano. later when i plugged in my current ipod touch all my songs have disappeared and i cant find the original itunes library i had for it! is there anyway to get it back? i have tried pressing shift when opening itunes but still cant find the original itunes that i had!!

    Since all of your music came from your computer in the first place, then it should still be there and should be included in your backup copy of your computer.
    " it told me when i pluged hers in 2 ipods could not use the same account"
    This is not true.  You have misunderstood.
    You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like to one one library.

  • Itunes wont show my devices except my 6 year old ipod nano?

    Iv tried reinstalling itunes, checking my drivers were up to date, buying a new usb cabel "from an apple store" and YES iv made sure my iphone/ipad is unlocked and hit trust this computer. i have an iphone 4s, iphone 4 and i also just bought an ipad air yesterday and that wont even show up in itunes!
    after trying everything i could think of i found my old ipod nano and for some reason that shows up!
    im running windows 8.1
    i have the latest itunes
    my laptop is an alienware 14.
    can someone help me or do i just have to wait for the next itunes update to see if that works.

    If it's an old enough nano, then it won't be using Apple Mobile Device Support to connect to iTunes. So, that suggests the problem may be with your Apple Mobile Device Support.
    So let's try swapping your AMDS out.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    If the uninstall/reinstall goes through okay, do you now get recognition with your other devices?

  • I want to create a playlist on an old iPod Nano (I think it's from the second generation), but the computer it was originally linked to via iTunes died years ago.  How can I make a playlist out of existing songs on the iPod?

    Hello there,
    I have an old iPod nano which I think is from the second generation (model number A1199 if that helps) with software at the latest version it can accept, 1.1.3.  I wish to make a playlist out of the songs currently on the iPod, but I can't see any easy way to do that from the iPod itself.  The next logical thought is to do it through iTunes, but the iTunes that was originally synced to the iPod died several years ago now, so I can't access that to make a playlist through (it's a very old iPod).  I do have iTunes currently on this computer, but that's synced with my iPhone and stores different songs which I don't want to be mixed with those from the old iPod (due to the mostly nostalgic nature of the iPod songs).  Is there any way I can either create a new playlist from the iPod itself, or through iTunes without having to sync?  Also note that most of the songs on the old iPod were uploaded to iTunes from CDs and so aren't connected with any iTunes Login.
    Thanks for any help you can give.  Also, I sorta need to create this playlist ASAP so any advice you could give would be much appreciated

    The old iTunes library was lost with the old PC.  However, it all that music and content is still on your iPod there are many ways you can extract this content from the iPod and import it back into iTunes.
    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  It will recognize the iTunes library on the new PC as a new library.  If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library.  So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.

  • Old ipod nano - when i connect it to my imac - error message

    I have an old iPod Nano - when i connect it to my iMac, I get an error message that says I can't have more than 5 computers authorized with my account - My account only shows 4, but that's really beside the point since this iMac is already authorized and I sync other devices from it.  Any suggestions? It won't let me add any new content to this iPod.
