Transferring frrom iTunes to a new ipod and deleting songs on the old

Hi,
I'm new to this forum. My Ipod nano is almost full, so I wish to delete the playlists/ songs on it and give it to another family member, but without deleting anything in iTunes. Them I want to transfer everything in my existing iTunes onto a new, bigger ipod. What's the workflow for doing that safely?
Thanks.
Nano   Windows XP  

1 - Hand them them iPod and say, "Happy iPod to
you!".
2 - Plug in the new iPod, watch it load, unplug it
and think, "Happy iPod to me" and use it.
It really is that simple.
Thanks.
How do I delete playlists from the original ipod without deleting them from itunes (so that they are unchanged and ready to synch. with the new one)?

  • PSE adding it to a new computer and deleting it from the old one.

    I purchased a new computer and want to put my PSE on it and delete my PSE from my old computer, but I don't know how to do it?

    Always, always save the download, don't just run it, for situations like this. You can download PSE 10 here:

    but you must follow the instructions exactly, even when they don't seem to make sense, or it won't work. You will need your serial number.

    Nothing is stored on the sim card on an iPhone.  If you backed up to your computer the backup will contain your calendar events.  Otherwise, if your phone isn't functioning there is no way to back up or extract your calendar at this point.

    When you connect the iPod to your computer and go to the Music tab to select which music you want to sync, iTunes will pop up a dialogue box that if you sync your music it will replace the music that is already on the iPod.
    Since that sounds like what you want to do, just click ok and then sync.

  • HT4527 I transferred my library to a new laptop and everything appeared on the screen. I turned off the old computer and the library disappeared. How can I make it a permanent transfer as my old computer is being scrapped. Thanks

    Hello Terryfrank,
    Congratulations on your new laptop!  Also, thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with transferring your iTunes Library to your new computer. 
    I notice that you are coming from the article “iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer,” and it sounds like you might have used the Home Sharing method outlined in that article. 
    With Home Sharing, you can stream content from another computer, and it sounds like that is how you have it currently set up.  The last step is to import the content to your new computer.  Use these steps on the new computer (while the old computer is on) to import the music to your new computer’s hard drive:
    Once your new computer sees the Home Share from your old computer, click that Home Share on the left side of iTunes on your new computer.
    Select the content in the Home Share that you want to transfer to your iTunes library on your new computer, or choose Edit > Select All to choose all of it. Then, click the Import button in the bottom-right corner of iTunes.
    Wait for the content to finish transferring.
    Additionally, if you want to transfer your playlists, you can export them from the old computer to the new computer:
    Transferring playlists
    If you want not only your content but also your playlists to exist on your new computer, you will want to transfer a copy of all your playlists from your old computer. To do this, choose File > Library > Export Library on your old computer. Save the XML file that is created to your desktop.
    Send the playlists file to yourself as an e-mail attachment, use an external drive, or use file sharing to move the playlists file to your new computer. Once the file is on your new computer, open iTunes and choose File > Library > Import Playlist. The import process will remove any items from the playlists that you didn't share via Home Sharing.

    I am trying to link coc between a new ipod and my iPad. The iPad was the old device. I did as I was supposed to by logging in the Game Center, then opening coc, and went thru the tutorial. The Game Center keeps trying to load the new village on my iPad and not the other way around. It basically is trying to make my old village the new village, meaning I lose a lot of progress. How do make it combine the 2? If I cannot, is there a way to remove the new village off the Game Center and add the one I want to be saved? Thank you.

    You'll have to contact the app developer for help with this.

    I'm trying to install itunes on my new computer and I keep getting the error message about Windows Installer. I've seen the other posts regarding this issue, however, I am unable to even get it to load for it to show up under "Programs".

    Repair your Apple software update.
    Go to START/ALL PROGRAMS/Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install
    If you don't find ASU, go to Control Panel:

    How do I create a new account and get stuff from the old account to the new account

    There are instructions on this page for creating a new account : Set up an Apple ID in iTunes
    Or if you don't want to give credit card details : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method
    But you won't be able to transfer purchases from your old account to it, all content that you download from the store will remain tied to the account that downloaded it.

  • I used my apple ID for my daughters new iPod and now we have the same number! Please help

    I just started up my daughters new iPod and use my apple id and now we have the same number! How do I change this on my daughters iPod? I want her to be able to use my apple ID but I'd like her to have her own number... Is this possible?

    Create a new ID for her:
    On the iPod go to
    - Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
    - Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed
    - Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers
    Continue to use the common ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores.

  • Deploying new portal and its effect on the old desktop

    I have an application which has few .portal files which are then converted to desktop in production through admin portal.
    Now i changed my source code and create a new ear file and deploy it in the prod environment.
    1) What will be the effect of the new deployment and changed codebase for the underlying .portal file on the old desktop created.
    2) Do i need to create the desktop again everytime i deploy a new update ear file?
    3) what if i dont update?
    Any documentation pointing the specific exact anwers to above questions.
    Thanks

    When you say changed code base do you mean you have added /removed books /pages? If so these wont be picked up by the deploy
    1) None , deployment does not affect the desktop created.
    2)No , you only need to modify the desktop if you want your changes to be picked or if you want to make changes manually.
    However your best bet is to use propagation to make the changes
    http://e-docs.bea.com/wlp/docs102/prodOps/propTool.html
    even if you create a new desktop based on a .portal which has changed , then you are prompted what you want to do, and you can decide accordingly (e.g. choosing replace affects the already created desktop)
    http://e-docs.bea.com/wlp/docs102/portals/creating_staging.html#wp1014475
    Its easier to test out the changes on a staging server and propagate the changes once your sure everything works. Note that so far propagation has never worked correctly all the time so backup everything (including the embedded LDAP)
    3) No Book/Page changes are picked up
    Note these answers apply to portal 8.1. they may have changed in whatever version you use. read the propagation documents on edocs

  • The button 'New entry' and 'Delete' disappear on the customizing t_codes.

  • I'm getting a new iPod touch 4G to replace my old 1st gen. pod.  How do I get iTunes to get rid of my old iPod and recognize the new iPod and can I sych the new pod and get all of the content on it from my old pod?

    Hi-
    Oops. looks like I hasked the whole question in the headline, but... How does this work?  When I connect my new pod to iTunes how do I get iTunes to recognize the new pod, disregard the old pod and transfer my content to my new pod?  Also, I have a G5 that runs 10.4.11 OS.  Will the new pod synch to this computer running this old software yet.  Apparently, I have to "climb the mountain" to find a copy of Leopard for G5 and I apparently cannot run Snow Leopard.  What are the needs or restrictions for synching a 4th Gen iPod touch?
    Thanks-
    DMitz

    The 4G iPod needs at least OSX 10.5.8 on a Mac. You are right that the G5 can't use OSX 10.6 or later. Apple will sell you a 10.5.8 disk but you have to call them since it is not listed in their on-line store.  Price is $129.
    For 4G specs:
    System requirements
    USB 2.0
    iTunes 10.1 or later6
    Mac: Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional (SP3) or later
    Broadband Internet access required; fees may apply.

  • I am trying to move all itunes files to my new laptop and was able to do with home sharing, however I now have no idea how to keep the itunes on my new computer when I dispose of the old as all files are inaccessible when the old computer is disconnected

    is there anyway to save the files so that they stay in my new computer?

    I wouldn't use Home Sharing for this. These are two possible approaches that should work.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase are reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.

  • HT4889 How do I get the files that transferred from my old mac to this new mac to all merge so I am not using 2 set ups? In other words, I have stuff on the "new mac" and everything else on the "old mac" even though they are on the same computer.

    I need to merge my files that were transferred from my old mac to my new mac - for some reason I now have 2 separate setups on my new mac.  I need everything merged to one account.
    Thanks!

    Did you use Migration Assistant? If you set up your new Mac first, you created a user account and when you used MA later, it transferred over the old one. The only way to avoid that is to use Setup Assistant at the beginning of the setup. I used MA once and spent a long time getting rid of duplicates - you can either do that manually or start over: use recovery (Command + R or Command + Option + R keys) during startup, go to Utilities > Disk Utility, erase your disk and download/install again. While going through the setup, use Setup Assistant - it will port over your one and only user account rather than create another.
