Putting Songs From One Ipod Nano Onto Another!

My kids both have ipod nanos. One has the 1st gen. nano and my other one has the 2nd gen. nano. My son with the 2nd gen. ipod nano, he accidently deleted all his songs. Anyway,he wanted to try to put all the songs my other son with the 1st gen. nano on his 2nd gen ipod nano. IS there anyway to do that? Can you copy and paste songs from the 1st gen. ipod nano to a 2nd gen ipod nano. If you could please tell me how. It will be a great help. Thanks!

I am guessing that your computer does not have the music library your #1 son has right? If your music library simply had the music #1 son has then simply sync the same songs to #2 son's ipod.
If this is not the case then there is NO way of getting music from #1 son ipod to #2 son ipod directly without going thru the computer. Hence it is vital to have the songs from #1 son ipod in your itunes music library for #2 son ipod to have the same music as #1 son has.
(confused yet???)
So you either need to get the music from the #1 son ipod to your computer itunes library or say that #2 son is out of luck. which is not good
So look at this link of a previous discussion for software that will get the music from the ipod to the computer.

THen it may be good to read this article on how to manage multiple ipods with one computer.

(And i did not mean to categorize one kid as better as the other by the usage of numbers ...... they are all special!)
Hope this helps

  • How do I transfer songs from one ipod video to another

    I want to transfer songs from one ipod to another, but how do i do it. 2 itunes?

    You can't transfer directly from one iPod to another, the songs have to be in iTunes and you update your second iPod from there. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved also it was written long before iTunes 7 so it requires a little adaptation as the iPod preferences are no longer in the location described. Also it won't transfer playlists or videos as far as I know. However if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes

  • Cannot put songs from one ipod to the other, playlist do not show up on new ipod page

    Having trouble transferring songs from my old ipod (2nd gen) to 3rd gen ipod nano. How can I save the playlists from the ipod to put on the nano?

    Are the songs from the original Ipod downloaded onto the computer where you are going to add the playlist to the new Ipod?
    If so, then it would be as easy as clicking the playlist and scrolling into the new Ipod.
    If not, then then you may need to the computer you were using for the original Ipod to get the playlist and songs on to the new Ipod. If you have no back up of the original Ipod there is a software called Copytrans.net which will retrieve the music from the old Ipod.

  • How to transfer songs from one iPOD to another one?

    On my old iPOD I've collected songs for various libraries (from friends and my two computers) but stupid iTUNES won't let me transfer my songs from this iPOD back to Library.
    So, now when I've got a new a iPOD, I have to put all the songs there again, because iTUNES again won't let me transfer songs from one iPOD to another iPOD, when both are connected to the same computer!!
    What should I do?
    Apple as an innovator company should come up with an update to solve this easy issue.

    Haven't you got your songs in iTunes? Just connect your new one and it will update from your Library.
    However if you have deleted them from the PC, there are a number of third party utilities that can retrieve the files from your iPod.

  • Alright, so my ipod touch stopped working, but I can still connect it to itunes, but my friend gave me his old nano. I was wondering how I could get my more updated songs from my ipod touch onto the shuffle. My laptop crashed whish had all my new music

    Alright, so my ipod touch stopped working, but I can still connect it to itunes, but my friend gave me his old nano. I was wondering how I could get my more updated songs from my ipod touch onto th nano. My laptop crashed whitch had all my new music, and im afraid if I sync my Ipod touch to the desktop with all my old songs, ill lose all my newer ones which I dont want to happen because I want them on my nano. Im sorry for the confusing topic im just so lost.

    All you have to do is connect your new iPod to the computer that has the library for your old iPod.
    When iTunes comes up, click on your new iPod under Devices.
    At the top of the Summary Page click Music.
    Click Synch Music.
    Do the same thing for Photos, Apps, Movies and so on...
    Now just synch the iPod.

  • I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?

    Hello everybody,
    I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?
    I share one Itunes account with other people from my family and one person would like to keep the same songs on the new Ipod as the ones which were on the old one.
    Thanks in advance for your answer.

    Hello Chris,
    Thanks for your answer. I was hoping for an easier answer. Too bad there is no drag and drop solution, it would have been much easier.
    Thanks for answering so fast.
    Bye.

    How does one copy songs from an iPod nano to a new computer?

    You can't add any iOS to a Nano since it doesn't run iOS.
    For iTunes purchased music connect to your computer and in iTunes go to File > Transfer purchases.
    For non-iTunes music you will need 3rd party software. Assuming you have a Windows computer try Yamipod.

  • HT1535 I would like to move my songs from my ipod nano back on to my freshly reinstalled windows and iTunes.  Can that be done?  I turned off automatic syncing so I can charge up the ipod.

    I would like to move my songs from my ipod nano back on to my freshly reinstalled windows and iTunes.  Can that be done?  I turned off automatic syncing so I can charge up the ipod.  Help!

    You won't be able to, just by navigating out the iPod's photos folder in iTunes. You'll likely need the help of some sort of third party software to get the job done for you.  One thing you'll want to keep in mind about these photos is that they are no longer in their full resolution, but instead are scaled down thumbnail versions that were optimized for viewing on your iPod's Video smaller 2.5" LCD display.
    Here is one such product.

  • Can I move/copy songs from one itunes account to another itunes account on the same iMac?

    Can I move/copy songs from one itunes account to another itunes account on the same iMac?

    You move the song files to /Users/Shared/ and then into iTunes from the other Mac OS X user account.
    If you want to change the iTunes Store account associated with them, you need to redownload them from that account.
