Transfering music from old iPod to iPod Nano 4th

Hi guys,
I just got my new Nano today and I cannot figure out how to transfer my songs from my old Ipod ( I bought it back in 2004--first generation--the one with the buttons:-) ) to my brand -new Nano.
Here are some details:
- all my songs are from my CDs back home ( in Europe )
- My "old" Itunes library is on my PC back home
- I now live in US and have a laptop with Windows XP
- I have just installed New version of Itunes and quicktime
Any help will be highly appreciated

You have to use a third-party utility to go from iPod to computer.
Here is an article on the topic.
http://lifehacker.com/394046/copy-music-from-your-iphone-or-ipod-to-your-compute r-for-free
I have not used any Windows utilities for this this myself (since I use a Mac with my iPods).
After you get the files onto your computer, get them into your iTunes library. Once they are in your iTunes library, sync it to your iPod (the new one). To reduce the risk of losing your music files, I recommend that you keep the primary copy of the music files on your PC going forward, and sync it to your iPod. If you are using the +Manually manage music+ setting now, you need to uncheck that option on the iPod's pane in iTunes (in order to sync).

Transferring music from ipod classic to new computer

Hi, can anyone help?
My last computer became corrupted and unusable and I am left only with my ipod of music, which I would like to transfer to a new computer, however, it will not synch with the new one as it is says my ipod is already synched with another computer (my old one!). I have contacted apple and they have sent me information, but you need to make adjustments on the old computer (which no longer exists)to transfer the files. Is there a way of transferring the music from the ipod to my new computer, without using my old computer?
Thanks...

OK, I had to restore my laptop to factory-settings, and so lost all my music in iTunes. Still have my music on my iPod, but obviously can't syncronise it as I'd lose all the music on there.
I have tried a couple of software packages (ipod2computer & Tune Tools), but neither of them seem to work (one keeps asking me to put in my credit card details again and the other just hangs or saying it hs updating data, but after a few hours nothing happens). Really looking for help or recommendations in transfering music files from my ipod or software that can enable this.
Many thaanks for any assistance

Transferring music from IPod Classic to new IPod Touch ?

I recently purchased an IPod Touch to replace my old IPod Classic. When I try to sync the new touch with my ITunes, however, I get the message about ITunes being unable to load data class information from Sync Services. I've tried several suggestions to get around that, but to no avail. Even when I try to download music from the cloud, it goes away after I play it. How can I get the music that I had on my old IPod classic onto my new IPod Touch ? Thanks.

Try this
iTunes for Windows: "Unable to load data class" or "Unable to load provider data" sync services alert

Transfering music from mini ipod to a nano

i just bought the nano and would like to transfer my music form my mini ipod to the nano. i can only transfer 1/2 of my music. i'm also using a new computer to do this. why can't i get all my music?

Are you transferring these tracks back from your Mini
to iTunes and are the ones that transfer purchased
tracks? The transfer of non purchased content such
as songs imported from CD is designed by default to
be one way from iTunes to iPod. However 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. Have a look at
the web pages and documentation, this is just a small
selection of what's available, they are generally
quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of
some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded
Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC
Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
YamiPod Mac and
Windows Versions
Music
Rescue Mac & Windows
iPod
Copy Mac and Windows Versions
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's
hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on
Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and
won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's
available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off
the iPod
My songs are currently on my mini and in itunes, but when i try to transfer them to my new nano, it will not work. The only songs it will transfer are the songs that I copied from cd's. I also have a new computer that I am using, does this have anything to do with it? If I use my old computer would it work. From you response, it sounds like there is a solution w/ the link that you provided. Correct? Thank you for your feedback.

Transferring music from iPod Classic to Cloud without laptop

I want to know the best way to transfer my iPod Classic content to a cloud (or my iPad) w/o a laptop. Will they do it in store?

No.
You can access your qualifying past purchases from iTunes in the Cloud without further action, from any computer running iTunes or iOS device, e.g. your iPad.
Adding any other media that is currently only on the iPod classic would require that you recover that to an iTunes library and then use that to transfer it to your device. You could also decide to subscribe to iTunes match so that all of your music would be available on demand from the iPad, but the music has to be placed in an iTunes library and "matched" first.
To recover the data on the iPod see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. You'll need access to a computer to do this.

Transfering music from Nano to Classic

Hi Friends. I bought a 120 GB Classic today and *am wondering if I can transfer my existing music from my 4 GB Nano to the Classic?*
I hope so! I'll be crushed if it can't be done.
Also, *does my Classic have to be 100% charged before I can transfer tunes to it?*
Please help, thank you!

Hi Friends. I bought a 120 GB Classic today and am wondering if I can transfer my existing music from my 4 GB Nano to the Classic?
You can't transfer directly from one iPod to another. The music must be in iTunes to transfer to an iPod, and from your post it seems as though it isn't. Very bad idea!! Anyway, to get the music from your nano back to the computer/iTunes, read on.
For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.
How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), 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.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump.
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.
More information is contained here.

Also, does my Classic have to be 100% charged before I can transfer tunes to it?
Not necessarily, but it would help since transferring data to an iPod can put a huge drain on the battery.

TRANSFERRING MUSIC FROM IPOP TO PC

I had a hard drive crash and I lost all my dowloaded music from I Tunes library. I am trying to determine if there is a way to transfer my music collection from my nano to my new pc (Inspiron 531 deskstop). I shudder at the thought of re-loading 75 CD's individually back onto my pc as I really don't want to try that. Please help! Thanks! Gary

How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod to a computer.
For all other 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.

Transferring music from existing library (Play List) to my iPhone 4

I would like to transfer music from my iPod shuffle and Nano library to my iPhone. Can someone assist me with this issue?

Under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, you select Sync Music.
Your options are all songs and playlists, or selected playlists. If you choose all songs and playlists, select Sync to transfer all songs and available playlists in iTunes to your iPhone.
If you don't want all music that is available in your iTunes library transferred to your iPhone, choose selected playlists.
Create a playlist with iTunes on your Mac.
At the bottom of the iTunes source list, select the + button to create a playlist. Or at the iTunes menu bar, go to File and select New Playlist. Or you can select various songs in your iTunes library and after all songs are selected that you want to create an iTunes playlist for, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select New Playlist from Selection.
Enter a name for the playlist. If you don't use the New Playlist from Selection option, select the songs in your iTunes library that you want available in the playlist and drag the songs to the playlist.
After you have the music in the playlist that you want transferred to your iPhone, select the playlist in the window below selected playlists under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync.
You can create a number of playlists in iTunes for selected music.

Hey lightc,
If you are having an issue with iTunes not recognizing your iPad and iPod on your Windows computer, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
