Transferring music frm 1 ipod to another

me and my friend both have ipod minis and i want to put the music from her ipod onto my ipod using my computer but am really stuck on how to do it ive tried copy and import and that doesnt seem to work so i was hoping someone to help me out by telling me how to do it in detail
thanx

It can't be done in the way you are trying to do it.
What you can do, is put your friends iPod in Hard Disk mode and use it as an external hard drive to transfer her iTunes music folder (located on her computer) to your computer.
You can't transfer the music on her iPod to yours without third party software, which you don't really need anyway if you use the aforementioned method I described.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • How do i download music from one ipod to another ipod

    how do i download music from one ipod to another ipod ?

    It needs to go through your computer's iTunes library.  If all the songs on the iPods are already in your computer's iTunes library, just sync each iPod as desired from your iTunes library. 
    If the songs on your iPods are not in your iTunes library, the approach here is to first off-load the song files from the iPods to your computer's hard drive.  Then, add the song files to your iTunes library, so that it is "consolidated" with ALL of your music.
    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.
    Once you have ALL of your music in one iTunes library on your computer, sync your iPods as desired.

    how do i copy music from one ipod to another with 1 cord?

    You cannot copy content directly from one iPod to another. If the music was purchased from the iTunes Store, you have the following options:
    - sync the iPod to your computer, transfer the content to iTunes, and then connect the other iPod and sync from iTunes
    - use iCloud (which requires iOS 5).
    - download the music from from the iTunes Store to the second iPod. See:

  • How do you transfer music from one iPod to another?

    How do you transfer all of your music from one iPod to another DIRECTLY from that iPod? Not all of the music on my iPod is in my library so I'm not sure how to transfer it, if it's even possible.

    Search for an app that may utilize BlueTooth to do that.

  • HT1495 Can I add music from one iPod to another without losing music on the first ipod

    Looking for a way to add music from one iPod to another iPod without losing music on the first iPod ... Please help

    iPods are not backups or data transfer tools.
    Move the music from the computer where it exists to the computer where you want it.
    Then sync the music to the iPod.

  • Transfering music from one ipod to anoter

    Helloo, i was just wondering if anybody knows how to transfer music from one ipod to another ?? as i want to but a newer up to date nano but dont want to loose all my music ??

    Yes you can remove music from your iPod. When you plug in your iPod that has the music, you just need to select Transfer Purchases instead of Sync, this will transfer your purchases from your iPod with the music into iTunes and then you can sync the purchases from iTunes to your new iPod Touch.

  • HT1329 how do you transfer music from one ipod to another ipod

    How do I move music from one ipod to another ipod?

    The music that is on the one iPod must be stored in an iTunes library first before it can be synced/added to the other one.  You cannot transfer content directly from one iDevice to another.
