Transfer music from old ipod to new ipod...for free?

My husband dropped his ipod touch and it got run over. He has a new ipod touch but we can't figure out how to transfer his music from his old ipod to his new one. There's 800 songs on his old one. For some reason, the old ipod syncs photos into itunes but not songs? We've already spent enough money one the ipods and music...I don't  really want to pay for all the software stuff to do it. Is it really that difficult? We were hoping we could just plug both ipods into the laptop and drag and drop in iTunes...but apparently that's not possible either. Help?!

All music that was on the iPod Touch should be your iTunes library on your computer. If Sync Music was selected under the Music tab for the iPod Touch sync preferences with iTunes, any music purchased from the iTunes store direct with the iPod Touch would have been copied to the iTunes library automatically with the first sync with iTunes after doing so. iTunes also includes an option for any music downloaded direct with the iPod Touch will be downloaded automatically by iTunes on your computer.
Photos on your computer can be transferred to an iOS device via the iTunes sync/transfer process but photos are not stored by iTunes.

    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.

  • Have iPod that about 8 years old. Want to transfer music from old iPod to new iPod.

    My ipod is about 8 years. Want to transfer music fron old ipod to new one. Can that be done ?

    Hello try again
    All your media should be in iTunes so you can sync using iTunes to get the music over. If you have any purchases from the iTunes Store you may transfer them to your iTunes library.

  • Transfer music from old iPod to new iMac

    Have a 30G iPod that was synced with old computer that crashed. Bought new iMac and want to transfer music from iPod to new iMac. Tech Support not able to help. Any LEGAL ideas?

    With a nod to veteran poster Zevoneer...here's what you should know.
    The transfer of content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod, but there are third-party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod. Some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Check out the web pages for more info. This is just a sample of what's available.

    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows

    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. That process is detailed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329?viewlocale=en_US

    I want to transfer music from my old laptop to a new one with Itunes for my Ipod touch, but it keeps saying
    the Apple id is already is in use. I deactivated it on old laptop. Can anybody help? When I plug the Touch

    Hi’
    I bought a iPhone 4, but how do I get my music from my old ipod to the new iphone.
    BTW. The old ipod is on one computer and my new iphone 4 is on another computer.
    Anyone that can help?

    Here is one way which will also transfer playcount, playlists, etc. Do it this way and your iTunes library will be identical on both computers.

  • How  do i transfer music from old ipod to itunes for new ipod

    Im not sure how I am suppose to take the 200 songs that i dont have on my itunes that is on my old ipod, and how Im suppose to transfer this music onto my itunes to get it on to my new ipod??? oh and clicking on the enable disc use isnt working so please and suggestions would be great

    Hi Jperto99
    You need to Either get 3rd party software or do it this way
    You need to be able to view hidden files on your computer , you need to go to the control panel and find folder options. (i believe that you could change the settings on in the windows explorer by clicking view at the top menu bar. you need to click it so that you can see the hidden files. (i think this explains simply what i said Tools -> Folder Options -> View, and then check (enable) the option “Show hidden files and folders.”)
    Next find your ipod now if you have enabled hidden files you need to click on your ipod and find a folder called ipod control. the folder itself will look different maybe a bit transparent because it is hidden. Next you will go in and if you explore further you will see loads of files (transparent like ipod control) with things like F34 F01 (or F1) etc.
    They are the files with your music on it and if you click on them, they will show music files but they wont have names. they are encrypted with file names like AKLY (basically four letters or 3 letters put together in capitals) so to get the names and other suff back simply drag the music files into itunes or import them individually (the folders) into itunes by clicking file, import into itunes and by folder.
    Then once you have done this the names should be correct in Itunes.
    Alternitavely you can drag all the files in 'ipod control' into an external Hard Drive if you go into itunes prefrences you can let itunes put all your music on your computer into organized files of album names.
    Hope that Helped (if you don't understand what i said this guide is pretty good http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/copying-music-from-ipod-to-co mputer/P0)
    Also if your willing to spend money by doing all of this in one click then this program for £14 (not sure in $) is really good. the free version (does 5 songs at a time) but the great thing is, is that it transfers directly to itunes you can get it here http://www.findleydesigns.com/
    You can get other free 3rd party software ill try and find a list for you if you want

  • How to transfer music from old ipod to newer ipod

    When I attempt to transfer, itunes sync would only allow to transfer if you clear ipod to allow transfer from another computer. unfortunately it cleared the external hardrive that had all the music not the ipod itself. is there a step by step way tutorial to do this correctly?

    Go to iTunes, sync new iPad and all your music should be there.

  • How can I transfer music from old mini to new iPod nano?

    I was buying a MacBook laptop for school next year, and also got a new nano nearly free! So, I currently have a PC which I use for my iPod mini, but I want to put my music library into the Mac and the nano. How can I do this?
    The PC "sent" songs into the nano but they were gray and not playable. I really just want to move the whole library to the Mac. Please help!
    Thanks.

    You can set up a network to transfer your files also you can use programmes to copy form your iPod to Mac click the link

  • HT1386 HOW DO I TRANSFER MUSIC FROM OLD IPOD TO NEW

    K have a old Ipod classic 30gb with library that I want to tansfer to new classic 160gb classic...Cant figure out how to do it...

    You'll need to get all the content from your old iPod into iTunes so you can sync it to the new iPod. See this support article:

  • Transfer music from old computer to new.

    Seems I cannot figure out how to transfer my songs from my old computer to new. I am on ITunes 7 on the old and new machine. I have tried export but it fails when the 2nd CD is asked for during Export. I have tried back-up but the new machine will not accept the CD. Any suggestions to an ITunes user who is suffering enough with switching computers?

    Hi yo-dt,
    You can also use a portable Hard Drive, or an iPod to move your library successfully. Read the articles bellow:

  • Transfer music from old account to new?

    I had an old iTunes account, before this new one. How do I transfer those songs from the old account to the new one? They were on my phone but have all disappeared since I last synced it with my computer. Thanks

    It isn't possible to transfer content from one account to another, I'm afraid.
