Plugged my iPod mini into a new pc, can't move music

I have plugged in my ancient iPod mini into a new pc that already has iTunes and a library of music that I don't want to lose. I have set this relic to 'manually manage music' and I am unable to move music from my iPod to my iTuens library. Help please.

Was your iPod previously set up to Manually Manage (where you dragged/dropped the music) or was it set to auto sync (where it started sycning as soon as you plugged it in.)?
If it was set to Manual, you have no worries. Just continue on your way.
If it was set to Auto, you will have to transfer your purchases or redownload them from the iTunes store.
You're either going to have to get the other music back from the websites/CDs you got them from before or find an iPod ripping software program that will do it for you.

  • Can I plug an iPad Mini into the new iMac monitor?

    Can I plug (or use a switch) my iPad Mini into the new iMac 'monitor' so I can keep my new iMac  pristine and not migrate over all the 'stuff'?

    The iTunes program on the computer is required for backup.

  • My hard drive died and i dowloaded itunes again and got my purchased music back but is plugging my ipod touch into my computer going to erase my music?

    I had to rplace my hardrive, redownload itunes and I got my purchased back from itunes online! However, i am scared that if plug my ipod touch into my computer, is my music going to be erased? Help me please...

    Yes, it will be erased. You need to first transfer the music to iTunes on your computer using a third-party utility such as Phone to PC | macroplant.com

  • I plug my iPod touch into my new macbook pro and the iPod icon shows up in iTunes, but does not show up anywhere in the finder or on my desktop...?

    I need to transfer the music off of my ipod onto my mac but i cannot do that when my macbook will not recognize my ipod touch in the finder.

    This is correct.  It will not show in finder.  It is not an external storage device.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  Open itunes connect ipod, do not sync, click File>Transfer Purchases

  • I have a 4 GB Ipod Nano from 2006 I am trying to use again.  I leet the anti-virus on my old PC with the iTunes lapse and I think I managed to attract a virus.  If I plug my iPod Nano into this old PC, can it also become infested with a virus?

    I have a 4GB iPod Nano from 2006 I am trying to use again.  I let the anti-virus softwarer lapse on my old PC, the one with my iTunes library on it.  Can my iTunes library become affected with this virus? 
    I have tried to fully charge the iPod but the message screen only displays ""Use iTunes to restore"
    Do I need to re-download iTunes and start over?

    Hello Mike,
    No, you shouldn't need to worry about your iTunes library being infected with a virus.  As to the restore message on your Nano, have you tried restoring it via iTunes yet?

  • External (USB) Hard drive errors when plugging in Ipod mini

    I just got an Ipod mini from a friend.
    I installed the newest version of Itunes and also updated the Ipod mini software.
    The problem I have had since the beginning is still there. When I plug in the Ipod, it gives me errors on my external hard drive saying "Write delay error", etc. It only happens when I plug in my Ipod. I also can't access the Ext. HD once the ipod is connected. Once I disconnect the Ipod and cycle the ext. HD then the Ext. HD starts working again. Everything is fine until I try to plug the Ipod mini into the USB again.
    Also for reference the Ext. HD is on the back USB plugs and the Ipod I have in the front.
    Please help!! My music is on my Ext. Hard drive and so I need it in order to transfer the music to my Ipod

    hiya!
    sometimes power drain through one USB 2.0 port can affect ipod connections on a different port.
    do you have an electronics retailer with a good money-back guarantee nearby? if so, it might be worth experimenting with seeing if you get better recognition (while both are plugged in) by using a good quality powered USB hub.

    Hi deaconspeaking,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Try looking for the iPod below the Search field in iTunes. If it doesn't show up below search, the second article provides troubleshooting tips that should help you out.

  • How do I plug a VGA monitor into a new mac mini?

    How do I plug a VGA monitor into a new mac mini?
    Why do Apple change everything all the time?

    You need an adaptor, HDMI to DVI is included in the package, take HDMI to VGA or thunderbolt which, in case of monitor, is the same as minidisplay port to VGA. Apple has always upgraded the best output port, unfotunately monitor manufacturers have not done the same.

  • HT1477 Good evening.  What kind of an adapter do I require to plug my ipod shuffle into the Aux In plug to connect to my car radio??  Thank you.

    Good evening,  What kind of an adapter do I require to plug my ipod shuffle into aux 1 outlet in my car to go through radio???

    It's not really an "adapter."  It's a cable with a mini-stereo plug at both ends.  Here's an example
    http://www.amazon.com/Monster-iCable-Player-Auxiliary-Input/dp/B002AR5XIK
    Connect it from the shuffle's headphones jack to the auxilliary audio input on car audio system.  You called it an "aux 1 outlet," but it's really an audio INPUT, correct?  DO NOT connect it there, if that is an audio OUTPUT.  It needs to be an audio INPUT.

  • Old computer crashed, how can I use my ipod mini on my new computer. I no longer have the original itunes software cd.

    I have an ipod mini. My computer crashed and no longer have software. Can I still use my mini to go into itunes and buy music? I have a new computer, windows 7. Thanks.

    Yes, you should still be able to use your iPod Mini on your new Windows 7 PC. Simply download iTunes from Apple's website and you should be good to go.  You don't need the original software that came with it anymore as it's now bundled with the iTunes application.

  • When I plug my IPOD touch into my dell computer all it shows are my picture.  I am afraid if I update the software on the IPOD it will erase all my music.

    When I plug my IPOD touch into my Dell computer it comes up with Judy's IPOD, the click on where it says internal storeage then a folder comes up that says DCIM then click on that and another folder comes up 800AAAAA and when you click on that all you see if pictures.  I am afraid to update the software on the IPOD I am afraid it will erase all my songs.  Does anyone have any idea what the problem or can I update the software without fear of losing all my songs.

    You have to follow these instructions. When they say restore from backup your iPod will also be updated.
