Transferring music from older model ipod to new ipod.

I have a 3rd generation ipodMB245LL on pc and I am not able to upload songs from this ipod into my itunes in an effort to transfer them to my new nano MP690LL. Why wont Itunes allow me to do this especially if I own both the ipods and the itunes?
I am able to downlod songs from itunes to the new ipod. Itunes also recognizes the old ipod but will not let me "drag" songs into the library from the old ipod eventhough the itunes and ipods are registered under the same name.
Please help.

Syncing music is a one way street with the iPod and that is from iTunes to the iPod and NOT the other way around. The only exception to this rule is with iTunes purchases. You can transfer them back to iTunes by plugging the iPod and choosing File -> Transfer Purchases.
Otherwise, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Transfering content from older model to newer model

I currently use a 20 gb ipod that is almost completely filled. I am planning to get either a 30 or 60 gb model and would like to transfer my current content (stored on my computer)to the new unit. iTunes is on my computer now, and so is a USB connection. Can I do this using my current software and hardware? without having to load any of the new software, etc. In other words how can I transfer all my current content with only plugging my new unit into the current connection?

You just need to connect the new iPod. On connection it will walk you through naming the iPod etc and automatically update from your existing iTunes.

Help with the iTunes 9, transferring music from older version.

I have a 2nd generation iPod Nano. I have a new laptop and attempted to download iTunes to manage my music library. I don't listen to the music on the computer just purchase from iTunes and then Sync with my iPod. I'm not good at techology. When I downloaded iTunes onto my new laptop, it deleted all my playlist but my songs are on my iPod just in numerical order.
I cannot get my Music from my iPod to transfer to the current version of iTunes. I am able to select Sync my iPod and it said Do Not Connect but nothing happpened with my iTunes library. Also, I purchased a song from iTunes and it will not transfer to my iPod.
Any suggestions other than to keep using my old laptop? I'm not even sure if the Music Library is set up on that computer because in the process of attempting to set up on the new laptop I select to move my Library to the new laptop.

Transferring music from an Pod to a new mac

Hi,
I have deauthorised my old computer and all of my itunes purchased songs have appeared in my library on the new computer which is grand.
However, my cd music from the old computer won't transfer via the iPod to the new computer, - is there a way to do this???
I havn't synced the new computer with the iPod except manually , and all new purchases have to be manually transferred into the iPod (which dosn't bother me too much) - the reason I'm doing it manually is becuase iTunes wants to wipe the iPod and put only the current iTunes library on the new computer onto the iPod.
thanks

Transferring music from Windows PC to a new Imac

Hi, I was wondering if someone could tell me how I could get all my music from my current windows pc to my new imac. Will I be able to burn it all onto cds and copy it across?

There is a good general guide to switching from Windows to Mac at the following link that touches on moving music as well How to Move to a Mac
There are also these guides:
How to move music between authorised computers
Moving your iTunes Music Folder This is written around moving to another drive on your computer but should adaptable for moving to another computer ok and also Networking with a Windows PC
Don't forget by the way if you have purchased any tracks from the iTunes Music Store to deauthorise your old PC if you are disposing of it so you don't use up your 5 allowances How to move music between authorised computers

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.

I was transferring music from my (windows) laptop to my iPod 4. Some transferred, then all of the music(except for what I had bought from iTunes)was gone. Then, it started saying "updating files at the top of the computer, but nothing happened. HELP!

Ok, so I transferred some songs using my USB cable. Then, I checked my iPod, and it had spaces where there would be songs (ones that I had transferred from my laptop when I first got my iPod, so not bought from iTunes) but they were blank, so I completely turned off my iPod and turned it back on, that's when all of those songs disappeared, but they were still on my computer. Only the ones I had purchased iTunes on my iPod remained. I got some other songs to transfer after that, then it started saying "preparing to update files on iPod" "finishing updates" then it doesn't say anything and the songs still aren't on my iPod. Please explain and tell me if there is a way to fix it!

Transferring music from iPhone to iTunes on new computer

The hard drive on my daughter's new Mac Book Pro failed. No backup (don't say it). The Apple Store replaced it. All of her music is on her iPhone 4. Is there a way to get all the music on her iPhone (including songs not bought on iTunes) into iTunes on the new hard drive on her Mac Book Pro? Is iTunes Match a possible solution? Thanks for any help.

I found this program "Phone to Mac" http://www.macroplant.com/phonetomac/ which sounds perfect. Has anyone tried it?

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 -

Transfering music from iPod mini to new computer

Ok, so I have two older ipods; the mini and the 4th gen. click wheel version. I no longer have access to the computer that housed both iTunes libraries whatsoever. Now that I have a new comp, how do I transfer my iPod music from both items to the new itunes library?

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS 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
iRepo Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy 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
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. 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.
