Problem arose when transfered music from desktop to ipod to new laptop

Please can someone help with my itunes library, this all began when i purchased a new lap top and transfered music files onto my ipod from my old computer(which i have done before and had great succsess). Now the problem began when i synced my ipod to new computer when certain files doubled and some did not. This happened with certain copied and original c.d's but not others ???
Meanwhile somehow, how it happened i do not know when i connected my ipod to old itunes library i lost all of my original files and blanked out my ipod ???
So what i have now is some duplicate albums and 4442 songs when there should be about 3100, how do i rid myself of these duplicates without doing it manually.
My computer knowledge is somewhat limited so please could i have a response in laymans terms thanx.
Also i can not seem to find my itunes folder which contains 20gb of stuff on my computer only a small portion of it is visible, and another thing as i have lost my old itunes file i suppose i have lost my playlists for good ?
Thank you for any help submitted.
Way.

anyone???

  • Transfering music from an old ipod to new computer

    I have the guide that was provided on the site on how to transfer music from an older iPod that contains the high capacity drive. My only problem is that I dont have the old computer that is synced to this ipod.
    basically I found this old ipod of mine from 4 years ago and it has a bunch of my old music on it. My old computer crashed and will no longer turn on so we got rid of it and bought a new one. My wife and I since then have both bought the new iphones and have created a whole new itunes libary. I figured all of these old songs were lost until last night when i found this ipod with all the music still on it. I want to put it on my new computer but when I plug it in and open itunes it say's it will erase my old songs and replace with my new ones.
    Can I transfer this music any way onto my new computer?

    Either buy a 3rd-party ipod manager program, start your research here on page 3

    Or go back to page 1 of the iLounge article and do it the hard way.

  • Error Message when transferring music from itunes to ipod

    When i connect my ipod to itunes it will transfer some but not all songs from itunes to ipod. currently every song in my itunes library will transfer EXCEPT all songs from M-R and i get a unknown error message (-69). can anyone help. Thks.

    Hello spk15,
    The only suggestion I have to offer is to take a look at this Apple support document if you haven't done so yet.

  • Transferring music from older model ipod to new ipod.

    I have a 3rd generation ipodMB245LL on pc and I am not able to upload songs from this ipod into my itunes in an effort to transfer them to my new nano MP690LL. Why wont Itunes allow me to do this especially if I own both the ipods and the itunes?
    I am able to downlod songs from itunes to the new ipod. Itunes also recognizes the old ipod but will not let me "drag" songs into the library from the old ipod eventhough the itunes and ipods are registered under the same name.
    Please help.

    Syncing music is a one way street with the iPod and that is from iTunes to the iPod and NOT the other way around. The only exception to this rule is with iTunes purchases. You can transfer them back to iTunes by plugging the iPod and choosing File -> Transfer Purchases.
    Otherwise, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • Transferring music from my mini to my new laptop?

    Is there a way to transfer music from my iPod mini to my new macbook?
    My old powerbook died, so I do not have access to it. I thought that I had backed up all my music, but I did not. I have searched through tech support articles on apple's site and haven't found anything of use yet.
    Thanks so much for any assistance you all can provide.

  • When transferring music library and apps to my new I Pad I think I clicked Export Library instead of synching.  Now my music library is virtually empty - mostly CDs downloaded, a few apps for the I Pad and apps for the I pod too.  Can I move these back?

    When transferring music library and apps to my new I Pad I think I clicked Export Library instead of synching.  Now my music library is virtually empty - mostly CDs downloaded, a few apps for the I Pad and apps for the I pod touch too.  Can I move these back?

    weird very weird. today i did this again today after already being unsuccessful earlier. exactly the same thing as i have done before, exactly. didn't try to import. didn't say damaged library, copied everything in including date. have tried it about 10 times no luck. today it just worked.
    how weird is that?
    oh well JG - maybe you mixed a magic potion for me?
    anyway, thank you for all the help.
    to anyone else reading this all i can say is keep trying, you never know. follow the above advice. you may feel exasperated and think you have done it already, but keep trying.
    cheers

  • Transferring music from itunes to ipod

    Trouble transfering music from itunes to my iopd. have updated ipod but still having trouble.

    OK so first thing is, is the iPod set for manual or auto updating? If you are using iTunes 7, click on the iPod icon in iTunes and check the settings. For earlier versions go to iTunes preferences and pick the iPod. Typically you have three choices, Auto Updating, Auto Updating of selected playlists only, and finally Manual updating.
    And to clear up your confusion, yes, you can always import your own CDs and put that music on your iPod without restriction.

  • Transferring music from walkman to ipod

    As my sister has a walkman and I would like to transfer some music into my ipod, but as the file is different, i cannot physically put the music onto itunes..
    Could anyone help me how to put music from walkman to ipod ?

    How are the Walkman music files different? Not MP3's - are in some closed/proprietary Sony music format?
    The only way you can do this is by getting the music from the Walkman into your iTunes library. Certainly Sony has a technical support website for a Walkman, or try a Google search.

  • How do I get music from my old ipod to new one please ?

    I have tried bbut cannot seem to get music from my old ipod to my new ipod. I lost old one long ago and recently found it and much loved n' missed songs . I since replaced pc and saved no music . I tried connecting both ipods to my laptop but no luck getting songs from old to new !!  Any help would be greattly appreciated pelase n' thank you :-)

    Hi Lea64!
    If your music was ripped from CDs, you will need to re-rip it to your iTunes library on your new computer. But if you bought your music from iTunes, they are still in iCloud, and you can redownload them at no cost. Sign in to the iTunes Store on your computer, then click on "Purchased" on the list on the right hand side. You'll see everything you have ever bought from iTunes in there, and anything that's not currently on your computer will have a little cloud with a downward pointing arrow in it. Click on the cloud symbol next to whatever you want to download, and it will download to your computer. Plug in your iPod and synch it, and you're done. Hope this helps!

  • HT1420 how do i transfer music from my iphone to my new laptop ????

    how do i transfer music from my iphone to my new laptop

    You might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
    For iTunes purchases File > Devices > Transfer Purchases should copy them over. For music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) then if you haven't got it on a backup drive and you don't still have your old computer with it (copying music between computers) then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them off your phone : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • Transfering music from itunes to ipod touch

    I bought my ipod touch about 8 months ago and I used to transfer music without creating an itunes library and every thing worked OK.  I updated my itunes and ipod software about a month ago and I have had nothing but problems.   I now use an itunes library and transfer my music from it to my ipod.   I just recently updated to the latest software and firmware and now I can't move any music from the library to the ipod.  I drag the song from the library to my device and let it go and it flashes a couple of times and that is it, nothing else.  Does anyone know what is going on?  Help!

    There is a problem with itunes or maybe ios7. Most user can's transfer their music on any ios devices.
    I have unistalled itunes and reinstalled it with no luck. As usual..... apple will wake up and fix this issue.
    It sounds weird but every time apple releases new major upgrades there is always a BUG that ****** off users like you and I. But there is always a fix at the corner.

  • Transferring music from an Pod to a new mac

    Hi,
    I have deauthorised my old computer and all of my itunes purchased songs have appeared in my library on the new computer which is grand.
    However, my cd music from the old computer won't transfer via the iPod to the new computer, - is there a way to do this???
    I havn't synced the new computer with the iPod except manually , and all new purchases have to be manually transferred into the iPod (which dosn't bother me too much) - the reason I'm doing it manually is becuase iTunes wants to wipe the iPod and put only the current iTunes library on the new computer onto the iPod.
    thanks

  • Transferring music from cd to ipod mini via winamp

    every time i try to put music from cds to my ipod using winamp it doesn't work. my ipod says the file is there, but there's nothing to play. what do i do??? the obvious choice would be get windows 2000 or higher and itunes...but that's not an option for me. any helpful hints?

    There are other programs to put songs on your iPod, but only in disk mode. Also, I don't even think iPod updater will run on anything but mac, windows 2000 or XP.
    If you're thinking of going with a mac...switch to the mac mini,,,,great starter machine

    I don't want to lose all my music so is there anyway I can transfer the music to my work computer?

    See if install this 3rd party software on your PC at works helps
