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

    i just got a new computer, and i downloaded itunes, but i cannot move the music from my ipod to the new computer. can any one help?

    That is true. The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.
    The exception is itunes purchased music. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
    You should really move everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.

  • Transferring music from Ipod touch to new computer

    I bought a new computer, downloaded iTunes 10.63, and want to transfer music to that library from my iPod touch. Every time I try to sync the files to the new computer it tries to erase the music I have on there already. Is it even possible to do this or will I just have to load all the music I had on there and allow iTunes to erase the data in the current library? 

    The right way to transfer your iTunes Library is from the old computer to the new one. iTunes will only give you the option to copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    If you purchased music from the iTunes Store, no worries, you can simply download it again with the one caveat that the music is still available in the Store.
    For music purchased or obtained from sources other than the iTunes Store, you must obtain it from those sources again. Music is intended to go from your computer to the iPod. Going the other way is contrary to the design and requires the assistance of third party utilities.

  • Transferring music from iPod Touch to iTunes?

    Hi--
    I was going to put iOS 5 onto my iPod touch, but iTunes mentioned that I could lose all my data. Over half of the songs I have on my iPod are not on my computer, as I lost a large amount of it when my other hard drive died a while ago. They were not iTunes purchases, so I can't automatically put them back into iTunes.
    I found this tutorial: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1329 on the Apple support for putting music into iTunes from an iPod, but it specifies that it doesn't work with the iPod touch. Has anyone found a solution to this? All I've seen so far are $20 converting-type programs that generally have iffy reviews. It seems odd that Apple would provide a solution for this problem for everything but the iPod touch.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!
    Kat

    Thanks for your answer, you were really helpful. It was such a great use of my time to read it, and the information you provided was very valuable.
    Unfortunately, as I am studying abroad in France right now, I had to leave my back up at home. I decided not to mention that, as that was extraneous information as far as the question goes, as well as the fact that I don't want to risk shipping my external hard drive, nor do I want to wait a year before upgrading to iOS5. I was merely wondering if anyone who had encountered this as well had any helpful suggestions -- i.e., free programs they used, or if there was a way of accessing the iPod touch through finder.
    Thanks again, though, for taking the time to respond. I really appreciate it.

  • Transferring music from IPOD to Laptop

    I no longer have access to the computer I originally set up my IPOD with. How do I get files to transfer from my IPOD classic (30GB)to my new computer? When I open the IPOD in My computer, I can find no music folder.

    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.
    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.

  • Transfering music from ipod to the computer

    i just got a new computer, and before i got my new computer my old one got messed up and i lost all my files. So is there a way that i can take the contents of my ipod and just transfer them to my new computer so that i may continue to add new stuff to it?

    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.

    how to transfer music including purchased music from ipod touch to my computer running windows 7

    Hi, dphoward525
    If you've purchased the music from itunes, when you plug the iPod in to the pc, it'll ask if you want to transfer purchases to the computer. Due to the restriction ,we can only transfer our music from PC to iPod , but not transferring from iPod to PC if you’ve not purchased them .In this case, transferring your files from iPod to computer can be a hassle , I think you will need a practical third-party solution . In order to find out how to transfer music from iPod to computer, you need to seach more information on the internet.

  • Transfering music from iPod to computer (Itunes)

    Hi,
    My computer have crashed. I have now replaced the broken harddisc and installed SW. I only have my music in my iPod now. How do I trigger a transfer from my iPod to iTunes, it doesn't happen by it self when the iPod is connected and listed in iTunes?
    I currently got music and filmes in the iPod. And I do not want to loose any of it, just get it copied over to iTunes.

  • Transfering music from ipod onto computer

    I recently shared some music with a friend by putting it on my ipod from their itunes on their computer but i can't take it from my ipod and drag it into my library. is there any other way that i can do this?
    thanks

    Hello Rachel, and welcome aboard.
    The simplest way of doing what you're asking for is to ask your friend to burn your choice of music on a CD and import it into your own iTunes.
    Otherwise, look at the following page, it may have a few answers for you:

  • Transferring music from 3G itouch to new 4G itouch

    i've been attempting to do this all day but i noticed that the older ipod is running iOS 4.x.x and in order to update i would probably lose all my music, but i know that i can't back up my ios 4.x.x ipod and restore it to my new 4th gen which runs ios 6.x.x...or can i?

  • 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
