Hello Pokeweed
Depending on what view you have on is where your iPod nano will show up. If it is the new view, then it will be in the right hand corner next the iTunes Store button. If you have the sidebar enabled then it will be where you would expect it. If it is in neither spot, then check out the article below to get it to show up on your computer.

Transferring from i pod to new computer (without access to old computer)

Is there any way for me to transfer the content of my i pod onto my new computer without using the old computer? I am abroad and have no access to it at present. i have read the i tunes support sections, and understand I can have my i -tunes content from my old computer backed up onto cd then sent to me for me to then install on my computer here. However, if there is an easier way to do this then I'd be keen to know! Can anyone help?

Connect your iPod to your new 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. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. 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: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. 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 from 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:

iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible - Windows version only)
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
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.

Moving Contacts from I-Pod back to Computer

I recently purchased a new MacPro. I no longer have access to my "old" Address Book on the old computer. Is there some way that I can move my contacts from my I-Pod Classic back to the new computer or do I have to establish all my contacts manually again in the new computer? Will a simple synch of the I-Pod to the new computer transfer all of my contacts to my new MacPro?

1. Make sure iPod is set up to be used as an external hard disk.
2. Connect iPod to your computer. The iPod appears as a hard disk on your desktop or in a Finder window.
3. Open the iPod hard disk.
4. Open the folder named "Contacts".
5. Find the vCard for the contact you want.
6. Drag the vCard to the desktop.

Transferring playlists from I-Pod to new computer

Hello all,
I'm pretty sure this question has been asked before : I recently purchased a new computer as my old one "died". I have all my music files in an external hard drive so they were preserved. When I downloaded I-tunes on my new computer, it did not transfer any of my playlists onto the new computer. They are still on my i-pod. How do I get them on my new computer from my i-pod? Thank you in advance for your help

Everything will copy over just as it is on the iPod EXCEPT playlists. You will have to manually recreate these yourself.
This column of [iPod Transfer Backup|http://www.softwarebbs.com/wiki/IPod_Transfer] share many articles about iPod to computer, included transfer iPod songs, photos and videos,playlist from iPod to computer.
Hopefully this works for all of you like it just worked for me!

iTunes Match will do that for you, turn it on in the Store menu (in iTunes). It's $25 per year.

I have lost most of my i tunes library. Many of the lost songs are are my ipod. What happens if I load plug my ipod into the computer? Will I erase whats on the ipod because there'll be no match found on my itunes library. Or..will I be allowed to mov

I have lost my i tunes library. Many of my lost songs are on my two nano i pods.
Since I have lost my i tunes library I have re-installed most songs. However I have a large number of songs on my i pods which I would like to retrieve. If I try to load my i pods to my computer will I lose the songs which I could not get re-installed to my library but are on the i pods. Since I lost my library I have not re-introduced my i pods for updating since they too will likely have to be re-installed. Will I lose the songs already in the i pods if have to re-introduce them to my computer. A solution to this problem would be for me to transfer my lost library songs from the i pod to my library. Can this be done?
1) Is it possible to retrieve songs from a lost i tunes library? Withoutout re-loading the entire library (since I have done this manually).
2) What happens if I re-introduce my i pods to the computer? Will this cause me to lose the present i pod installed music?
3) Can I transfer my lost songs and albums from my i pods to the i tunes library?

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.

As you will have discovered, the music sync is only one way, from iTunes to the iPod, minus iTunes purchases. On top of that, an iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.

I recently restored my i-pod nano but it will not automatically load the library from i-tunes. I've checked

I recently restored my i-pod nano version 1.1.3, Model MA426LL. When I open I-tunes on windows 8 the library doesn't automatically download. @witsend

When I open I-tunes on windows 8 the library doesn't automatically download.
When you say "download," you are referring to your iTunes library syncing to the iPod, correct? Not something downloading from the Interent to your computer...
If you want to use automatic syncing, you need to set it up in iTunes. First, if the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. The iPod appears under DEVICES in the sidebar, when connected.
Select the iPod in the sidebar. The iPod's Summary screen appears to the right. Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons, starting with Summary; click on Music next toSummary. This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to your iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music. This setting enables automatic syncing. If your iTunes music library is small enough to fit on the iPod's storage, you can choose the option to sync Entire music library. That syncs everything that is music. Otherwise, choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Then, select (checkmark) what you want on the iPod from the lists below. One convenient way to set this up is to create one or more playlists in your iTunes library, and put ALL of the songs you want on the iPod on those playlists. (Or you can use existing playlists.) Back on the iPod's Music screen, select the playlists under Playlists.
When you click Apply, the songs in your selection(s) sync to the iPod. Going forward, to update songs on the iPod, update those playlists in your iTunes library (add/remove songs). The iPod does not need to be connected. The next time you connect the iPod (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes updates the iPod with the same changes automatically.

Artists on new I-pod Nano looks at Album Artists not Artists so a whole load of Artists from complilation albums sit e.g. in a Various Artists bucket - how do I sort this

Artists on new I-pod Nano looks at Album Artists not Artists so a whole load of Artists from complilation albums sit e.g. in a Various Artists bucket - how do I sort this

I think it looks at the Artist field, if Album Artist is blank. So, for the songs on affected albums, you can try removing the "Various Artists" entry for Album Artist field (in iTunes). Try this on one affected album, to see if it does what you want.
NOTE: In iTunes, you can select multiple songs at the same time (such as all songs on an album), do a Get Info (right-click selection - Get Info) on selection, and remove the entry for Album Artist for all selected songs at the same time, from the Info window.

Unable to disconect I-pod Nano from computer

I am temporarilly using a computer in which I cannot install any software, and therefore I cannot install i-tunes. I just use the computer to charge the battery of my i-pod nano.However, I can never disconect it safely. Anyone can tell me why??

I have already tried that but, after a long wait, two different thigs have happened:
1.Sometimes the computer says it is safe to eject, but i-pod shows still the 'do not disconnect' screen
2.Other times,the computer becomes bloqued and I have to restart it.
The 'do not disconect' screen is always in the i-pod, and I have to reset it all the times.
Don't know what to do

2nd Computer at Vacation home...can I load songs from I-POD to ITunes?

As I understand it, my IPOD is designed to put the tunes on the IPOD that are on the ITUNES program on the computer.
What I want to do is to make the ITUNES on the new computer match the songs on my IPOD...in other words copy the tunes from the IPOD to the empty ITUNES program on the new computer.
Can that be done? Thanks for your help.

If you are using 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.
For all other non purchased music (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.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
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 and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.

1 computer, 2 I phones, and an I Pod Nano!

Myself and husband only have 1 home PC, i currently have an I phone and I tunes account that i sync together. My partner is now looking to purchase an I phone as well, and we also have been given a new I pod nano that we wish to run a home sound system from.
how will i need to go about setting up Multiple I tunes accounts and devices? and can music be shared across the i pod nano and I phones? so if i use my account to buy an album can i transfer and sync to both my I phone and the I pod nano?
I'm fairly new user and find it all a little complicated.. thanks for anyones help!

Obviously it's not something that Apple would suggest doing, but if you want to share 1 iTunes account, I would suggest creating a new admin account on your system, or using another computer. You can authorize an Apple ID on up to 5 computers. To do this open iTunes select Store (from the top menu) and Authorize computer.
If you are worried about getting all the content into another user. There are 2 ways;
1. If all of the content is purchased from the iTunes store, you would want to connect up the iPhone to iTunes (in another user) cancel the sync if it starts automatically, or before connecting up the iPhone launch iTunes and go to (Windows Edit/Preferences .. Mac iTunes/Preferences) go to the Device tab and select 'Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods' .. however this does not always work. Authorize computer in the new user. Once the iPhone is connected and this user account is authorized with your shared Apple ID, go to File/Transfer purchases from iPhone. This will bring over any purchased content.
2. If not all the content is purchased, put all the content onto a flash drive, log into the test user, open iTunes, authorize the computer in this new user account and then bring over all the content. Once this is done, make sure that you can play the purchased content in the new user.
Or you can put only the non-purchased content onto the flash drive, and then do step 1 and 2 to get all your data over.
Hope this is helpful, enjoy! ✰
