Transferring music from old computer using ipod

I recently transferred music from my old computer to my new computer using my ipod by following the directions in apple support (article 300173.) I already had music in itunes on my new computer when I added the music from my old computer. Now all the music that I had loaded prior to the transfer comes up with a message "original file could not be found." Have I lost this music for good?

If you dragged the file called 'iTunes' in to the music folder in the finder and it asked 'do you wish to overite' then it has probably overwritten the folder tha t already existed
(with the new music in).
If you haven't emptied you trash it might be in there, but don't click retore the trash just drag the folder onto the desktop.
Hope this helps.

It sounds like you have music in your iPad that you want to get to your iPod Shuffle. You can transfer your iTunes Store purchases to your computer with this article first:

Transfering Music From a 1st Generation iPod to a New iPod

I just purchased a new iPod and I have a first generation iPod. Is there a way I can transfer the music from my first generation iPod without having to copy every CD onto the new one? Thanks.

The iPod isn't designed for device to device copy but you can transfer the songs on the old iPod back to iTunes and update your new one from there. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
The transfer of content sources 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 read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
Floola Mac & Windows
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
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
I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

HT1373 transferring music from itunes to new ipod

hi, trying to transfer my purchased music from itunes to my ipod. just downloaded itunes 11 and using a new ipod. in the past with itunes 9, my devise appreared in the informaiton bar and i was able to drag music into it. with this new version, i dont see my devise, and not sure how to get my music on there.

First things first do you have the menu bar on? Second, have you tried plugging the usb into a different port? ALSO once device is seen in itunes, go to the summary tab & click manage music manually. You should still be able to click & drag.

Transfering songs from Creative Zen MicroPhoto to new IPOD Nano 2nd gen

I hope someone can help me! Have spoken to Apple in the UK and they couldn't help me out, but I hope someone here can! I have two computers. One new macbook and an old PC desktop(been upgraded to windows xp service pack2). My question is I want to transfer all the songs off my Creative Zen to save on my mac hard drive (most are in mp3 format, only a few are wma), so I can then transfer a few to my 2nd gen IPOD Nano. How can I do this? I have tried plugging my creative zen into the usb port of the MAC via a usb lead, but it doesn't seem to register its there, so there's no chance of me downloading the songs directly onto the hard drive of the mac. Someone suggested connecting an ethernet lead from my PC (with the Creative in the usb port) to my mac, however my old pc doesn't have an ethernet port. It only has two usb ports.
There must be a straightforward way of transfering the music - otherwise I'll have lost all of my music that I paid for which doesn't seem right.

you could plug it into your windows machine and copy and paste all of the mp3's and wma's to a CD/DVD depending on what your mac has. Then simply drag and drop the files from the dis to the macs music directory.
does this help
(i ain't very good with macs so i called the music directory the place where music is stored, known as My Music in Windows)
hope that this helps you sort your problem.

Transfering Music From My Zen Micro to My Hard Dr

Hi Everyone, I've tried looking through the forums for an answer to my question but I haven't been lucky as of yet - apologies if this is a common issue.
My problem is that I'd like to transfer all the music on my Zen Micro on to my PC's Hard Dri've.
I can see Creatvie Zen Micro on My Computer - I can click on the icon and view the individual music files but it does not let me copy and paste them on to my hard dri've.
My hard dri've on my PC failed recently and I'd like to put all the songs on my MP3 player back onto my PC - but I just can't seem to get it to work.
My details are -
Player - Creative Zen Micro 5gb
Version - .0.03
I have XP Pro with SP2 - and I've downloaded Creative MediaSource Organizer.
If any one can help me solve this issue - even if its a step by step way of getting the files on to my hard dri've (I don't mind being patronised! ) I would be eternally grateful!!
Thanks - I hope I get a reply soon - my hair is getting greyer by the second!
Ry

Here is what you should do:
- Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 from your product download site. Make sure that you install this first before installing the rest of the MediaSource plugins listed below.
- For non-PlaysForSure Zen series: Download and install the latest Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.20 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.
- Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Plugin for CD Burner 3.0.8 from your product download site.
- Launch Creative MediaSource Oragnizer.
- Go to Tools->Settings->PC Music Library and click Properties. Set your preferred folder and file naming convention. Close the setting page.
- In the Sources window, click to view PC Music Library.
- Go to View->Right Panel View and select to view your MP3 player.
- Transfer the tracks from your MP3 player to MediaSource's PC Music Library by clicking the arrow pointing from right to left.
- If you have updated the track information of the tracks in your MP3 player, the updated track information will also be imported into the PC Music Library database. However, the tags of the files are not updated. Here is what you need to do. Right click the PC Music Library node in the Sources window or right click on any tracks in the PC Music Library window and select "Update Tag". This will update the tag of all the tracks or the selected tracks with the track information as seen in the PC Music Library.

Question re: transferring music from computer (iTunes) to iPod

This is going to make me sound like an idiot but I'm having problems transferring music that I purchased on iTunes (on my laptopy) to my iPod. It shows all the music in my "purchased" file but when I try to drag it to the iPod or a playlist on the iPod, nothing happens. I don't download music often but nothing I've tried is working...I'm sure this is an easy fix. I have the settings on "manual transfer" because when I had it on "automatic transfer" it previously erased everything on my iPod that I didn't also have in my library. Suggestions for this silly question?

Do a "search" from the main menu. This topic has been discussed ad nauseum. In the future, bear in mind that the computer IS the backup for the iPod and the computer itself should also be backed up to another medium.

Transfering music from new iMac to iPod without losing songs on ipod

Hello,
I've just finised uploading all my CD's onto my new iMac. I now wish to download the contents of the iMac's iTunes library onto my iPod (click wheel but not video) without losing the songs that are already on the iPod. The iPod was originally synced to a Windows PC which was used to download it's existing library. There are a number of songs on my iPod that are not in my new iMac's iTunes library & also a large number of songs that are already on the iPod.
Basically, I want to know how I can download all songs from my iMac's library that are not already on the iPod without losing the songs I have on the iPod that are not in the iMac's iTunes library (Ihope that makes sence).
Thanks for any assistance.

Hi Dave!
Yes, you can do this.
First off, do this to prevent iTunes from automatically syncing your iPod:
1 - Open iTunes.
2 - Connect your iPod to your computer.
3 - Basically as soon as your iPod begins to display "Do Not Disconnect", begin to press and hold the Option and Command keys on your keyboard together simultaneously.
4 - Continue to hold these keys for about 20 seconds, throughout the time when your iPod is showing up in the Source List in iTunes.
After you've done this, click on your iPod's name in the Source List (the Source List is the left panel area of iTunes), and under the "Summary" tab, tick the "Manually manage" option for your iPod. Also, go to the “Music” tab, and ensure that the “Sync” option isn’t selected.
Click the “Apply” button in the bottom-right corner to save your changes.
Manually managing the songs on your iPod will allow you to preserve the current content that you have on your iPod, and transfer new content from your iTunes library to your iPod.
When you are connecting your iPod to a computer that is different than what it is normally synced to, you will get a message that says something like: "The contents of the iPod "your iPod's name" is synced to another iTunes library. What would you like to do?"
You will be given a couple of options, and make sure to click on "Cancel", and NOT "Erase and Sync" (or else the current contents of your iPod will be erased, and the iPod will be synced with your iTunes library).
So, after you've saved your iPod's songs from being automatically synced off of it, you can transfer your iPod's music to your compter if you wish.
You can install a third-party program onto your computer that can do this copying.
Try using Senuti.

Transfering music from a Windows formatted ipod to a Mac - is it possible?

I have a bit of an interesting problem. All my life I've used Macs, occasionally a PC, but I definitely prefer Macs. Anyhow, I currently have a PC, temporarially, I will be getting an iBook late Spring this year, and I have two iPods, a 4G formatted for Mac, with all my music on it, and a 5G formatted for Windows that I just got for Christmas.
Now, my question, when I get my iBook, I want to format the new iPod for Mac and put all my music from the 4G onto it. Getting the music off of my old iPod onto my iBook won't be a problem, however I've got quite a bit of stuff on the new iPod that I don't want to get rid of. Is there anyway to connect my new iPod to my PC and hook the PC up to my iBook and transfer the files that way? Burning everything onto a CD isn't an option, my PC is super old and doesn't have a CD burner, it also has less than 1GB of free space, and I have about 4GB of stuff on the new iPod that I want to transfer over.
Any ideas? I know that I can't connect both iPods together on the same computer to transfer files, particularly considering that one would be formatted for a different system....
Hmmm how difficult is it to transfer files from a computer with Windows XP to a computer with OSX anyway?

same thing happened to me. I purchased iPod Access from the internet (for about $15). This program will let you transfer your music and playlists from your iPod to your library

Transferring Music from a Windows Formatted IPOD to a MAC

I'm trying to transfer my music from my IPOD (which is Windows formatted) to my new Mac. My PC crashed and I, unfortunately, never backed up my Music Library. So, now I've bought this new Mac and want to transfer my songs without restoring the IPOD and losing all my music. Any suggestions as to how I can do this?
Thanks!

Transferring Music from CD's to iPod

Noob question here:
Can I transfer music directly from a CD to my ipod? Or must I always transfer the music from the CD to the iTunes library and then from the library to the ipod?

You must first transfer it to your iTunes library, then to the iPod.
Cheers!

Transferring Music from one zen player to anot

I currently have a zen v and have just purchased a zen v plus. How do I transfer my music from the v to the v plus?

OK, the title says "music match", but the instructions are basically the same. Look at the bottom for a link to an article about WMA formatted songs:

Transfering music from sonic stage to ipod?

I prviously had a mp3 player that used Sonic Stage so I have many music files downloaded to Sonic Stage. I need to get the music files from Sonic Stage to the Itunes library or to my Ipod nano. Does anybody know how to do this or if this is even possible. I would appreciate any help.

You need to check the format of your files but from what I have read, Sonic Stage uses ATRAC (the same encoding as MiniDisc). You would need to find a way to convert the ATRAC files to a format that iTunes can use such as MP3.
What is SonicStage?
ATRAC to MP3
