New Nano - Can't transfer iTunes
I bought a Nano for my daughter for Christmas to replace an older iPod. I tried to transfer (by selecting and dragging) the music that we have on our iTunes into her Nano, but 2 things have happened - 1) the first time I tried it showed that they were being transferred, but when we disconnected the Nano the songs didn't show up. 2) I then synced the Nano to our iTunes and the songs show up but they are grayed out and won't play. The music is a mix of songs from CDs and from the iTunes Store. I tried to reset/restore the Nano since it is brand new, but I received an error message that it couldn't be restored. When I started iTunes back up the Nano appears to be fine with the exception of experiencing the same problems as before. What am I doing wrong?
I'm having the same issue.
I hooked up a new iPod. iTunes recognized it no problem. I dragged over a couple of songs. iTunes indicates that it is transferring the songs. I eject the iPod when it is finished. iPod indicates there are no songs on it.
I was previously using an older iPod nano. It worked fine.
BTW...using Asus laptop w/ Windows 7 64-bit and iTunes 9.0.2.25.
Thanks.

Hi,
A painless way to do it ...
From your Old Computer... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
Backup iTunes to an External Drive

Moving iTunes Media Folder (Windows)

An Added Bonus is that you will then have a Backup of iTunes... -
I can't transfer iTunes to a newer computer because I can't access the old e-mail I bought some songs under.
Phone support did not help or would not guarantee they could help.
Is there anybody who would know how to do this transfer?
Thanks,

New Nano, Can't Remove Songs
My new Nano synced everything in itunes, but there are some songs that I do not want on my nano. When I see my nano in the source pane, I can see a list of everything that is on my nano but I cannot click on anything and the list is "grayed-out" and disabled. Is there a way I can delete individual items, whether it be songs or podcasts, from my nano? How can I manage what is on my nano? I also have a shuffle and find itunes easier to use with the shuffle than with the nano.
*I can see a list of everything that is on my nano but I cannot click on anything and the list is "grayed-out" and disabled.*
Grey text when you look at the content and a lock symbol at the bottom of the screen just indicates that the iPod is set to update automatically (sync). If you want to play the iPod songs through iTunes, delete songs from the iPod, drag songs from iTunes, add playlists to the iPod etc. you need to change the update setting to "manually manage songs and videos". The text will change from grey to black and everything will be directly accessible through iTunes:

iPod 101: Fill 'er Up
Something to remember about using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on the desktop and check this link for alternative methods: Safely Disconnect IPod -

No, all iTunes purchases will remain tied to the account that downloaded them, they can't be transferred to a different account (nor can accounts be merged).

Getting a new computer. can i transfer my itunes?
Hey im getting a new computer and was wondering if its possible to transfer my i tunes from my old one (its is still working just really bogged down) to the new computer.
yes,i think i can figure it out by the third party tool. what i am using is Aniosoft itunes to itunes.It enables you to copy any itunes library to the storage devices if you like and then recover them with no any differece including its formerly playlists ,your personal settings and other content into the new computer or another computer just a simple click 'restore from the folder' that you can select by your preference.For you case,i think you can backup your itunes of the old computer to a memory stick and then transfer the backup database to your new one.You can have a free trial for Aniosoft itunes to itunes before you can buy one.Anyway luck to you.

How can I transfer itunes library from old pc to new imac?
I just got a new iMac and am trying to transfer iTunes library from old PC (barely running) to new iMac. I tried through Home Sharing but couldn't find how to sync. Is it necessary to get Firewire? Or should I sync it from my iPad? I'd like to avoid the middleman. Thanks!

Then go to the iTunes Store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the right. Go through all the tabs to download again for free -
If I Buy a New Ipod, Can I Transfer My Games?
I have a 3rd gen iPod Nano. I find myself playing the games more then listening to music, and have considered buying a 5th gen iPod. If I do, can I transfer the games currently on my iPod to the new iPod, or would I need to repurchase them again?
Games can be transfered to the new ipod, but being able to play them is game dependant. I am new to the ipod, but while searching games in itunes I noticed that not all games will not work on every system. I suggest going to itunes and looking up the specific game to see if the newer models are listed. This might also depend on the software version.

Can you transfer iTunes songs between 2 accounts?
I've been sharing an iTunes account with my husband for years, and finally created my own when I bought a new iPhone. Can I transfer all my songs from my husband's iTunes to my new account somehow? If not, what's the workaround solution so that I can basically access both song libraries together on my new device? I also have an iPod that I'll want to do this with. Thx for any advice!
You cannot transfer them to another account.
You can put the songs on your computer and sync them to your device. -
New Mac can't transfer songs from library to iPhone or iPods
I just bought a new Mac Mini because my iBook died. My iTunes library is stored on an external hard drive. I can see the library in iTunes, but when I try to move them to my iPhone or iPods I get an error message. It states that the new computer must be authorized. I do the authorization process and it tells me that this is computer of 2 of the 5 that I can authorize to play music and it is authorized. But, I can play the songs thru iTunes, but can't transfer them to any other devices.
The majority of the music in my library wasn't purchased thru iTunes. It is music ripped from purchased CD's to the hard drive and then imported into my library. I have had no problems for the last 5 years with this library on the laptop.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong, or suggestions on how to solve the problem?
Thank you in advance for any help.
AngelaIS your ipod in Automatic mode or Manual.. Meaning if it is in manual mode you must transfer the songs manually. TO change - With ipod connected go to edit - preferences - ipod from that you ca select whether you wat automatic "yes" or manual
