Transfer music from mini to nano

Just bought a Nano today. How do I transfer music from my Mini to new Nano? Many thanks.

Well, the simple answer is to connect your nano to iTunes and just load your music from there.
However, from your post I suspect that the music is no longer in iTunes?
If that's so, then this link suggests methods to get it back from the iPod to your computer, and then, when it's back in iTunes, you can transfer it to the nano.

HT1209 how to transfer music from old iPod nano to new iPod touch

how to transfer music from old iPod nano to new iPod touch ?

The 1st and 2nd gen iPod shuffle can only be used with one iTunes library (not "account") at a time. Your Apple ID and password does not matter. (Later shuffles can be used with more than one iTunes library, IF it is set to use the Manually manage music option.)
So, if you sync it with a different iTunes library, the previous content will be replaced. You need to offload the existing content to your new computer's drive as the first step.
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 computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to the iTunes library. After confirming all of your songs are there, sync your shuffle with that iTunes library.

how can I transfer music from an old nano to the newest nano

If the music was purchased from the iTunes Store, simply sign into your iTunes Store account on iTunes. From there, go to the main page of the store. Then, on the right, there should be a purchased button. Tap there, and walla! You can download all of your past purchases. If it wasn't from the iTunes Store, use a third party Mac app.

How can i transfer music from my Ipod nano to my new hard drive

Hi, I have a I pod Nano 6th edition.I downloaded music from my CD collection and I purchased a few CD's from ITunes. I had problems with the hard drive and had to have a new hard drive installed. I was advised to save my ITunes library and my photos and any other important documents on my hard drive.I saved everything onto a pen drive.
I have tried to reinstall everything onto my new hard drive. I had no problem with the photos or documents,but the ITunes folders are giving me problems.
I have downloaded the updated ITunes web site onto my new hard drive.I have tried to send the folder from pen drive to the iTunes folder and My Music folder.
I also tried dragging the folder from the pen drive to the my music folder. For some reason 3 tracks from about 4 hundred have arrived in the My Music Folder.
I am afraid to plug my Ipod into the laptop as I was told I could lose every thing
Is there any way to solve my problem??

Please help this is a older nano

Hello td4man,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
To get music to your iPod you plug in your iPod Nano to the computer with the supplied usb cable and then sync the music.
Here is a pretty helpful article named iTunes: Syncing media content to iPod found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1351
You want to look at the Syncing Automatically link therein.
Cheers,

How do I transfer music from my iPod nano 4 to my new mac when my old one is broken

Well, I have an iPod nano 4 and a MacBook Pro (2009 or whatever) with iTunes 11 and my old hard drive broke in it and I lost all my music. I did not have a backup but I realised I still had it all on my nano. I need to transfer it all to my computer without re-downloading all the music but I don't know how. I'm able to open up the iPod in iTunes and look at the music on it, play it and even copy it (when it's connected) but I can't paste it or drag it anywhere. Please will someone help me.

Is there anyway to transfer music from my nano 4th or 5th gen to iPad?

I have an iPad3 & was curious if I can transfer music from my iPod nano (4 or 5)
onto it and vice versa

The music but you want to move from one device to another must be stored locally in your iTunes library (and in turn your PC's hard drive) before it can be transferred to the other device.

Why won't my laptop recognize my iPod nano second generation when I plug it in via USB? It does recognize my ipad mini. I was hoping to transfer music from my iPod to my ad mini

Why won't my laptop recognize my iPod nano second generation when I plug it in via USB? It does recognize my ipad mini. I was hoping to transfer music from my iPod to my ipad mini

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. You can use some third party software like this iPod file transfer, it can help you copy files from iPod to computer, and then you can use iTunes to sync the music to your iPad mini.
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

I need to transfer music from another itunes library to my current. my last computer crashed and i do not want to lose all of the music stored on my nano. Please help!

I need to transfer music from another itunes library. My last compter hard drive failed. I have several hours of songs and I don't want to lose these. Is there a way to transfer music from another libray to current? I have recovered the purchased music but would like to transfer other. I have a mini without a disc drive so it makes loading the same music difficult. Please help.

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.
