Transfering purchases from 1 ipod to another

i have a 30 gig that i have everything on. i am trying to transfer all my purchases to my new 80 gig but it doesn't transfer everything. i have bought 5 games and none of them are on my new ipod and only 3 episodes of csi:miami season 5 are downloaded not all 25 which are on my old ipod. i have done the authorize thing , tried sync nothing . what am i doing wrong. please help. i would really like to use my new ipod.
thanx

A 30 gig iPod can't be a Classic as they are only made in 80 and 160 gig models. It is quite possible, as suggested, that some/all of the games won't work on a Classic (I'm assuming that the "new 80 gig is a Classic) and therefore won't transfer. This doesn't, however explain the issue with the video content. For that, I'd check to see what syncing options are selected for television shows.
Best of luck.

Transfering music from 1 ipod to another?

i currently have a 4gen ipod nano. and im thinking of getting a touch. but i want just to transfer my music to the new ipod is this even possible?

You can't transfer directly from one iPod to another. If the songs you had on your previous iPod are still in iTunes they will load onto your new one. You just need to connect your new iPod and follow the on screen instructions to register and name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation.
If the songs on the Nano are not in your library you need to copy them back to iTunes and add them to the new iPod from there.
iTunes will only let you copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchased songs and in some cases, videos and games) 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. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

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

Transfered purchases from other ipod wont go on my ipod

I recently transfered purchases from my friend's ipod onto my computer, but when I try to put those songs, games, and videos onto my ipod, they will not load. Why is this?

Because you did not purchase those songs.

Transferring music from ine iPod to another iPod

how do I transfer music from 1 iPod to another iPod. I have both iPods open and when i try to drag the music over i get a circle with a slash thru it. it won't let me do it. If you can help please email me at [email protected] and in the subject line put IPOD help

If your iTunes library has all the songs that are on your old iPod, then just plug the new one in and iTunes will ask if you want to change the link; click yes and your songs will transfer. It's next to impossible to do it the way you're describing.

Transferring music from one iPod to another

I recently purchased a new version of the iPod touch. ( iPod 5?) The music from the older touch will not transfer to the newer version. All music is currently stored on the iPod, not the computer. Sorry if this sounds mind boggling, but how do I get the music onto the computer to then put it onto a flashdrive to transfer to another iTunes account and another iPod? I'm not sure if it is even possible due to legal issues with concerns for people selling music, but are there any options? (iOS 4.2.1)

Transfering tunes from one IPod to another IPod

how can I transfer tunes from an old Ipod to my new Nano. The tunes are not in my computer. They were uploaded to my old IPod from CDs.

You would need to transfer them back to iTunes first. There are third party utilities that will help you do this. Look for posts by user Zevoneer. He regularly posts instructions and lists applications.

How do I transfer music from one ipod to another?

Hello, I need help transferring music from one ipod to another? I got a new laptop and now my itunes library does not contain a lot of my music!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
There is more than one way, but to get it all on all devices, connect the first device to iTunes and choose to transfer the music from the device from the file menu. Once everything is in iTunes connect the second device, select the device in the device list, navigate to the music tab and check the content you wish to sync, click apply/sync.

My ipod nano is recognised by my new MacBook Air, and even transferred purchases from it, but it won't synch?

My old ipod nano is recognised by my new MacBook Air, and even transferred purchases from it, but it won't synch?
When I linked it it used the name I had given the ipod so it seems strange that it won't synch even though it is definitely connected.

See if this helps:

Transferring purchases from ipod to itunes 8.0 hangs

I am trying to transfer purchases from my ipod to a new PC. I am using itunes 8.0 and the transfer starts but then hangs. The initial transfer is a movie from the ipod (perhaps relevant, perhaps not) .. any ideas ? is there a known issue with transfering purchased movies from the ipod to itunes ?

I throw my hands in the air, 446 U2 songs gone....gone where...who knows...why?...because i clicked one button in itunes to transfer purchases from ipod to pc...!!! Sorry I'm really really REALLY annoyed...I bought this back in February 2005...and now it's gone...I don't appear to be able to download it again, I can't even find it on the website....but there were other albums also gone...!
Does anyone have any hints suggestions before I smash the Ipod to bits :O
I searched HD for songs but no joy..heart breaking..to say the least..(regardless yeah I should have had a backup..) but the transfer should have transferred them somewhere...I guess.

Transferring Purchases from iPod to New Computer

I have recently gotten a new laptop and I am having problems transferring my purchases from my iPod to the laptop. I have authorized the new computer and have followed the instructions given by Apple on how to transfer (Transfer Purchases from "__" with the iPod connected). However, it only "transfers" a few of the songs and I still can't play them. When I try to play any of the songs, it says that it can't locate the original file.
Before connecting my iPod, I had transferred all of my music to my computer via an external hard drive. I have also tried moving the music files to the iTunes Media/Music folder as well as adding the original file from my hard drive to the iTunes library.

There is authorization and "authorization"
I did a similar move. I replaced my Itunes server with a new build. I successfully saved off the old Itunes folder to my Network Attached Storage box and later copied that archive from the NAS into My Music on the new Itunes server.
The Itunes folder contained different types of data.
For CDs I loaded DIRECTLY into Itunes, the data includes authorization to play the data - because Itunes verified that it was an origional CD that was played directly into Itunes.
In a similar manner, if you have Itunes data that was purchased and downloaded from the Itunes Store, then you need to "Authorize" the computer with Itunes in order to play that Itunes Store procured data. This is the "you have done 3 of 5" authorization.
Finally, for CDs that I loaded into my old server via Windows Media Player, when I did a consolidate in Itunes, it went out and found the WMP data on a disk I dedicated to WMP music files, and since it was authorized in WMP, Itunes would play it. When I went to the new server, Itunes had the Itunes version of the songs in its library, but would NOT play the songs that had been migrated into Itunes from WMP until I actually connected the hard drive with the WMP files on it so Itunes could satisfy itself that it has "autorized" copies of the music. As soon as I connected the Windows Media Player data drive, Itunes did a compare and updated the Itunes versions of the songs imported from WMP to authrized and plays them just fine.
The alternative is to reload from the origional media.
Hope this helps.

Can you see other pictures like wallpaper in normal mode?
Did you check the format of the photos you synced through iTunes?
iOS and iPod: Syncing photos via iTunes
On a Mac, these file formats will sync from your iPhoto Library to your device: JPG, JPEG, TIFF, PICT, GIF, PNG, JPG2000 or JP2, PSD, SGI, and BMP.
On Windows, these file formats will sync to your device: JPG , JPEG, BMP, GIF, TIF, TIFF, PSD, SGI, and PNG.
Did you check the settings for black&white in Settings/General/Accessibility/ "White on Black" ---> "OFF"
