Transfering music via ipod from computer
I'm transfering my music from my old computer to my new one. I've followed the steps on http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173 but now both computers say my ipod nano is associated with another computer. And my music transferred to my new computer but when I open itunes with my ipod connected it is under SHARED not DEVICES and where my ipod is listed. help please.
The song is not saved in your computer hardrive, so itunes cant find the file. One thing you can try is using IpodCopy
It takes your music from your ipod and puts it onto your computer. Download this software into your new computer and try it out. I've never actually used this so dont ask me about problems that u may have. To be safe, put your ipod in manual update before you try it.

My harddrive crashed and I lost everything. I now want to transfer the music from my ipod to my new laptop. How do I do this?
If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been 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 is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and it won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using a lot of the utilities your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay. -

I have problem when transferring book (PDF/Epub) from Computer to iPad with the new iTune? Please Help....
With iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via control-S on a PC, option-command-S on a Mac. If you are trying to get it to the iBooks app then with the sidebar enabled the process should be similar to how it was on previous versions of iTunes e.g. add it to your iTunes library via File > Add To Library, connect the iPad and select it on the left-hand sidebar, and then use the Books tab on the right-hand side to select and sync it to the iBooks app.

Can't share music via Facebook from Sony Music app (or Walkman previously)
Hi all, I can't seem to share music via Facebook from the Music (or previously Walkman) app with my Xperia Z1 phone (running on updated Androif Lollipop but was a problem before update as well).
I get the option to share via lots of other apps but Facebook (and the icon for it are missing).
Any ideas how to solve?As far as I know, Facebook app does not allow sharing music till now, that's why there is no Facebook icon is music share.

If you have access to them anywhere, restore them from it. If not, click here and ask, or redownload the applications freely.

Transferring music,video & pics from ipod to computer
I have been looking at ways to transfer all the stuff on my ipod to my new computer. I have actually done this before, but I totally forgot how exactly. Also, at that time, I had no pictures on my ipod and I had alot less music and videos. All of the applications that I have been looking at seem to be made for older versions of iTunes as most of them don't say anything about transferring videos or pictures. The one free one that seems ok is iPodRip or the ImTOO computer transfer. I just want to know if I decide to use either one of those or to manually take all of my songs, videos etc off my ipod, would I be able to take everything off of my ipod? Basically, would I be able to restore everything?

Transferring music and movies from ipod to new computer
ive tried free programs that end having to be paid for which i cant do and i cant seem to figure out how to get unpurchased music and movies off my ipod onto a new computer.keep in mind i dont have my old hard drive with my music on it hooked up.can anybody help pleaseeeee?
For all non purchased content (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
SharePod is also freeware.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer. -
I am trying to transfer my music and apps from my iPod Touch to my laptop computer's itunes library so that I can update the IOS. I have tried "Transfer Purchases from iPod Touch under File/Devices and nothing seems to happen. The itunes library on my laptop is still empty and everything is still on my ipod Touch. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or how I can make this happen so I don't lose it all?

Transferring music not downloaded from intunes back to itunes from my ipod
I recently had a hard drive crash. I lost all my music and photos. They are on my ipod touch though. I was able to transfer the music I purchased from itunes but most of my music isn't from itunes as well as my photos. I was going to try manually restoring the music or using a program to help me but when I open my ipod touch folder the only files that show up are DCIM and then 100Apple and 999Apple. I cannot find any other folders even when I allow hidden folders. Does anyone know why I can't find my music or photos folders or if they are even supposed to be there? Is there a way to retrieve my music and photos and put them back on my computer?
I found this program which costs $10 but it was able to restore my files.

Music /Video transfer from computer to Ipod?
I didn't find an answer to this yet. I have several music files in mp3 format that will not import into iTunes and cannot be transferred to my iPod through iTunes. Is there a problem with the mp3 format I am using? Video is a problem too but I think that that is also a format issue. I have a converter for the video but I'm more concerned about the music. I have a trial of Anapod Explorer that lets me drag and drop music files to my iPod. The iPod can read those mp3's just fine but iTunes will not import them. If I syncronize with iTunes it wipes those music files off the iPod. Please be aware that I am fairly new to the iPod right now. Thank you.
I can open them in soundforge and then resave them as mp3's again but sometimes they still will not import. Is there meta data of some sort that may hinder an import? Does the iPod require a certain type of mp3? I'm familiar with audio and converting but not familiar with what is required of iPod and iTunes. Thank you.

Problem transfering music/updating ipod
I recently moved and changed computers. My ipod had my library from home on it but i had a new library at my apt. i plugged my ipod in to see what kind of transfer there would be and it erased my ipod and filled it with the new library. then i went back home, and reversed it with my old library. finally, i had enough at my apt so once more i erased my ipod and built it with the library from my computer. today i tried to traditionally transfer music, adding music into my ipod. it would not update, it said it was finished updating but when i looked, none of the new songs were transfered into my ipod.... please help im so frustrated. ive tried reinstalling but that doesn't solve the problem.
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
What you are trying to do is illegal. You cannot take your friend's music. That is one of the reasons for the message.
Also, even if legal, you cannot use iTunes to move music from iPod to computer.
