Old I-pod to new I-pod, how do I transfer my music?

Just found my old I-pod from I think either 2004or 2005 and wanted to know if there was anyway to transfer the music I have on this one to my new one? The new one is an I-pod nano maybe 2010 (model A1320). Will I just have to suck it up and through it out or ...?

The music from the older iPod must be transferred into your iTunes library first before you can add it to the new iPod as you cannot sync or content directly from one iPod to another.
See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Bought a new computer. How do you transfer our music

Just bought a new computer. How do you transfer our music & apps over from our old computer.

It sounds like you have a PC. You would have to consult Microsoft as to how to transfer files over in Windows from PC to PC. That's not an Apple situation.
Hope this helps

I have an IPhone 5, and of course I have used ITunes. My Computer has been completely destroyed, so I have to Purchase a new one. How can I transfer my music from my iPhone to my New PC?

The way I do it is I hook to my windows computer, it will pop up iTunes. I click iTunes off. The phone will show as another drive on your computer. Click it open then migrate to the photos folder from the iPhone.
Then select all, cut then right click on your pictures folder on your computer or make a new folder on your desk top like I do and right click on new folder and select paste.
Photos will be gone. Just remember to turn off the iPhone sync in your photos folder on the phone or they will come back
Good Luck

I'm moving an internal hard drive from an old computer to a new computer. How do I transfer the catalog data to my new computer so the Organizer of Photoshop Elements 6 will find the data on the hard that has been moved to the new computer?

I'm moving an internal hard drive from an old computer to a new computer. (My new compute runs Windows 8.1) How do I transfer the catalog data to my new computer so the Organizer of Photoshop Elements 6 will find the data on the hard that has been moved to the new computer? Is this possible or do I have to use the procedure of copying the catalog along with the photos to a back up hard drive and then restore them on the new computer?

The 'normal' procedure is to do a PSE organizer backup (not a copy or a backup from external tools) to an external drive, then a restore to the new location.
The advantage is that you have a backup of both catalog and media files and you don't have all disconnected files, which would happen with external backup tools. Also, if you restore with a more recent elements version, the catalog will be automatically updated to the new format.
The drawback in your situation is that you'll have either to overwrite all your files or restore to a custom location, creating a duplicate photo library (which supposes you have enough free space).
It would be possible to simply use the organizer in the old PC to move the catalog to a new 'custom' folder just under your C: root drive. The catalog would be accessible once the drive will be installed in the new PC. Then you would have all files 'disconnected' due to the fact that all your media files are now on a drive with a different letter. Reconnecting a whole library is a hard job with PSE6, less so with PSE11/PSE12.
If the idea of fiddling with the sqlite database with external sqlite manager tools is ok for you, I can describe the process more in detail. You only copy your catalog folder (as suggested above) to another location. Instead of trying the 'reconnection' way, you install the sqlite utility on the new computer. When the old drive is installed in the new computer, you simply edit a given record in the catalog database, catalog.psedb, and start the organizer with your copied catalog by simply double clicking the 'catalog.psedb' file.
Even if the last solution is much, much quicker, I would still create a new PSE backup : you have never too much safety .

I replaced my old computerwith a new one. How do I transfer my music purchases to my new computer?

I had an old Windows XP PC that I had my iTunes library on and I would purchase music through iTunes and it could be shared with my kids 2 iPods and our 2 iPads. I also have an older 30gig iPod Video that I would sync with my old desktop computer. I did iMatch and have everything stored on iCloud. I bought a windows 8 PC to replace the old desktop and thought that I could simply log into my Apple account with my new computer and essentially "download" my library onto the new computer. That is not working for me. I can see all the music listed in iTunes but the text is greyed out and I cannot play any of the music from my desktop. I deauthorized my old computer and as far as I can tell I authorized my new one. I cannot see my Purchases music folder on the new computer. On top of this, my son wiped everything off of his iPod Touch (4th gen) and I am trying to get the games and things I purchased from the App Store reinstalled on his iPod. Can anyone tell me what I need to do? HELP!!! LOL

Hello, tiburon1979.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would need a little clarification on the issue that you are experiencing to provide a better answer. However, if your device is not recognized by iTunes, try going through the steps in the article below.
iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows
If the device is recognized and you are unable to select the syncing preference, see the article below as the steps have changed.

Authorize your new computer's iTunes first - Store>Authorize this computer.
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
This discussion has much of the same information and even some more helpful tips.

HT1296 I have a new ipod touch, how do i transfer my albums from my itunes libriary to it?

I have a new ipod touch, how do I transfer my music from my itunes library to my new ipod?

The same goes for everything you want on your iDevice, you synchronize it with iTunes.
It takes the same process for other items like Apps, Photos, Videos, Books, Ring Tones, Podcasts, etc.
iTunes is the window to your iDevices, to see what's on your device and sync things to it.
Personally I would rather a simple USB-drive method of putting things on and sort things how I would like them, but iTunes is the way Apple has done it.

Old Computer crash. How can I transfer my music from Ipod to new Computer?

Lightning struck my old computer, how can I transfer my music from the Ipod to the new computer (Windows XP) Itunes library?

You don't need to buy anything from the spammers that infect these forums. There are plenty of free options.
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.

Good day BenithaK,
Once you have changed your Apple ID, you need to set it up for use in the various systems such as iTunes, the App Store, etc so it can be used as intended. This article shows how to do that -

To change your iTunes billing information for either Apple ID account, follow the directions in this article -
