Transfer from nano ipod to classic ipod

I received a classic ipod for Xmas because I filled my nano. I want to transfer the songs from my nano to my classic. How do I transfer? The songs on my nano are not on my computer.

Hello Colorado man,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
You'll need to copy the songs from your Nano to your iTunes library first. Once you have done that, you can sync them to your new iPod classic.
Here is an article providing several different methods for copying music from an iPod to a computer. The comments section provides even more suggestions.

  • Songs' library transfer from nano to MacBook Pro

    Just bought a macbook pro 13" retina transfering from a 7yr old dell pc realized that only half of the songs in the itunes transfered correctly.  My specific question is:  Is there a best way to transfer all of your songs' library from your ipod nano to the itunes in my macbook pro?   i found similar questions in the forum but date back to 2006 and I would like to have more up to date info..Thanks!!

    From your nano to MacBook?  If you still have the Dell, you can also go from Dell  to MacBook...
    To answer your question, you cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to your Mac.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the songs files are on your MacBook's drive, you can add them to your iTunes library.
    NOTE:  For songs purchased by you from the iTunes Store, you can also re-download them at no cost from the iTunes Store Purchased screen.

  • Music Transfer from Nano to iTunes?

    I have music on my Nano that was lost when we lost our computer in a flood (I know...back up....too late now!). I want to get my music from the Nano into the new library. I can not do this. I have heard that there is software that enables this task. Is there one program that is better than another? Is this software reliable?

    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 read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

  • Data transfer from mac to pc using ipod

    I need to transfer some data files from my MacBook to my PC using my 30GB ipod. I get all the files copied onto my ipod from my mac with no problems. I have my ipod set to be used in disk mode.
    Once I plug it into my pc, it tells me that I need to format the drive. How can I successfully transfer data from my mac to my pc using my 30GB ipod?
    Someone told me to go ahead and format the drive/ipod on my pc and then plug it into my mac, place the files in the ipod and then I should be able to access the files having the ipod plugged into my pc. I started to try this, but it messes up my ipod to where I need to reset my ipod to factory settings using, my macbook.
    Would it be possible to reset my ipod to factory settings using itunes on my pc and then try plug the ipod into my macbook and copy the files over that way?
    Please let me know what you have found out. I need to backup all my files and get them on to a second computer. I have 25GB worth of home videos that makes it so that I need to use my ipod, other wise another device would do the trick.

    Yes. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's what you were supposed to do in the first place. The wonderful thing about OS X: It'll speak HFS+, FAT32, and it'll even understand NTFS (but it can't write to it... yet). Oddest thing: XBox 360 will read HFS+, but WinXP/Vista won't... curious, isn't it?

  • How do I transfer from Windows Media Player to ipod?

    I have recently brought my first ipod and need help transfering my libary onto my ipod.

    Hello bountyboy,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    The first thing you will have to do is import the music that is currently in your Windows Media Player library over to your iTunes library because that is the only way you will be able to sync any music to it. Here is an article that provides instructions on how to do this: [Transfer Music from Windows Media Player to iTunes|http://www.jakeludington.com/askjake/20080329_transfer_music_from_windows_media_player_toitunes.html]
    From there, you will be able to set your iPod up to sync the music and such however you wish. If you need more help on how to sync the music to your iPod, I think this Apple support document should be able to assist you.

  • Help: Is there a way to move all the music from my old 30GB classic ipod to my new 160GB classic?

    I recently filled up my 30GB ipod classic so I got a new 160GB classic. My 30GB is synced to an old Windows PC and my new ipod is synced to a Mac. Can I move all the music on my old ipod (even if some songs aren't in my old library) to my new ipod?

    You can't trasfer music between different accounts. If both computers use the same iTunes account, simply sync them to the same computer.
    Music from old ipod goes to that computer, then select which tunes you want added to the new ipod and sync it.

  • Upgrading from Nano 5G to new ipod Touch.

    Will I need to amend any settings or will itunes automatically sync the new Touch instead of the Nano.
    Thanks in advance!

    you will need to register the Touch with iTunes.
    plug it in and follow on-screen instructions. in the process, you can decide what to sync to the device.

  • How can i transfer from cassette tape to mi ipod

    i have old cassette tapes how can i transfer them to my ipod

    yes, but you will need an audio interface of some kind. do you have any recording software?
    i would recommend some but all the programs i use are very high end and very expensive.
    go down to your local bestbuy and ask them for an inexpensive audio recording software package(preferable one that can output to MP3) and the necessary cable to connect your tape deck to the line in socket on your computer.
    then just record the music to your PC.

    My boyfriend has a Nano and used his uncle's computer in the beginning to add music to it. He no longer has access to that computer and wants to move what's on his Nano to his new computer. Itunes recognizes his nano but won't let him copy anything from it to the Itunes library.

  • Transfer from NANO to Library...HELP!!

    My computer took a dump... Now I want to save all my songs from my NANO back to my Itunes Libary... Can this been done? If so how? I thought I tried everything!!

    I have noticed (ya I am a little slow) that when my ipod is plugged into the USB, and I have itunes open, I can click that sideways arrow on my ipod, and the music and playlists that have transfered to my ipod are there. I can't modify them there, but I can atleast see them and know what has been synced properly.
    What does yours show?
    Also, I don't know if it just my ipod (me), or all ipods, but in order to have all the music I have selected (checked) synced to my ipod I have to do the following: under the Summary tab I have to select Sync checked songs and video. and under the Music tab check Sync music, and select *All Songs and Playlists*. They click Syn and see if it worked by doing the above, click on your ipod's sideways arrow and brows through your ipod's content.
    Hopefully that will help someone...

  • Can I transfer music from my iPad to my iPod nano without a laptop?

    I do not seem to be able to transfer music between Apple products. Both my iPad and my iPod nano have a lightening fitting but there do not seem to be any lightening to lightening cables around in order to transfer from my iPad to my iPod? I'm downloading music to my iPad from iTunes, yet I am unable to put these on my iPod which, as a dance teacher, is extremely frustrating. I've tried switching on the Bluetooth on both products to see if this works and it does not. I do not currently have a laptop, so please can someone advise as to whether I can actually share the music that I've paid for between my devices? I really hope so.

    You cannot transfer music directly between your iPad and iPod nano.
    To do what you want you need a computer.
    When you have one, sync both devices to the same iTunes running on that computer. This will also backup both your devices which you should do regularly anyway.

  • Can't transfer from albums to playlist

    I have worked at this for a few days without success.
    I am trying to set up a playlist.
    One song is on the playlist but will not play, when selected it will skip past the song selected and play the next song in the list.
    That was the beginning of other problems.
    Now that I deleted that album off my IPod and tried to reload from the computer it will not transfer from the computer to the IPod.
    I hope someone can help me. I really loved my IPod but these constant updates are starting to get to me.

    Sync the iPod again. (First delete the song(s) off the iPod)

  • I downloaded 2 cds onto my ipod nano through itunes.  Recently my itunes account changed and now it doesn't recognize the songs from the cds.  How to transfer from ipod back to itunes?  I don't have the cds anymore.

    I downloaded 2 cds onto my ipod nano through itunes.  Recently my itunes account changed for some unknown reason and now it doesn't recognize the songs from the cds.  The songs are still on my ipod.  I am affraid to sync now because the songs may be deleated, and I don't have the cds anymore.  How can I transfer the songs from the cds on my ipod back to itunes so that I don't lose them? 

    What you have on your computer is your iTunes library, not your "account."  The "account" you have for iTunes is your Apple ID, which you use when purchasing or downloading from the iTunes Store.  If these songs came from music CDs that you imported into iTunes, those songs are not related to your Apple ID.
    Recently my itunes account changed for some unknown reason and now it doesn't recognize the songs from the cds
    How are they not "recognized"?  Are the songs still listed in your iTunes music library, but grayed out?  They no longer appear in your iTunes library at all?
    If you search your computer (not in iTunes) for the song files, using one of the song names, can you find the song files?
