Can I transfer music from iPod Nano again iTunes account without losing any content?

I had to have a new hard drive installed on my laptop and lost all the data that was on my old hard drive. I have reloaded iTunes but now it obviously does not show me as having any music out there. I have all my music on my iPod Nano. Can I sync the iPod to download on iTunes for re - record my music?

Since the iTunes library on the new disc is new to the iPod, sync deletes the existing content of the iPod and replace it with the content of the new library (which currently is 'nothing').  By design, iTunes syncing is generally in one direction, from the iTunes library on the computer for iPod (with the exception of songs purchased on iTunes Store).  However, there are methods and third party utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something as 'ipod transfer music', you should get a few useful links, including a CNET article on the subject.

Once your music files on your new drive, add them to your new iTunes library.  After the confirmation of all your songs are, sync of the iPod as you wish.

    Depending on the context, I'll assume that you are asking how to unload files of songs from an iPod to a computer.  iTunes synchronization is generally in one direction, from iTunes to iPod library. You cannot use iTunes to transfer files of song from iPod to computer (with the exception of songs purchased from the iTunes Store)

    NOTE: Songs purchased from the iTunes Store can be downloaded again free of charge, on the iTunes Store purchased screen.

    However, there are methods and third party utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like 'ipod music transfer', you should get a few links (including a CNET article on the subject).  Once the files of songs from the iPod to your disk, add them to your current iTunes library.

    Further, you should backup your iTunes data.  Apple describes a way to back up your folder full of iTunes on an external drive.

    This method should also be used when switching from an old computer to a new computer.  By transferring or restore your complete iTunes folder, it's the same iTunes library on the new computer, not a new iTunes library with your old songs.  iPods are not designed to be your data from iTunes backup.

    How can I transfer music from my iPod to Windows Media Player?

    WMP is not built-in iPod support, so you will need to use another media player, such as iTunes or Winamp, to get the music from the iPod to the PC (I don't know if iTunes will allow you to do, but Winamp will certainly be).

    If you then copy the music files to your personal music collection, they appear automatically in the WMP library.

  • Somehow, my friends music downloaded on my phone and now I can't sync music from my computer laptop iTunes using my cell phone?

    Friends of music somehow got synced my phone. Never, I plugged my phone into his cell phone, so this is very strange. Now when I try to sync music from my laptop to iTunes on my iPhone, as I have done a million times before, it will not be synchronized. I need to get my phone to sync with my laptop and my music again as soon as possible

    You use the same Apple ID? What happens when you try to sync music from your laptop to your iPhone? You receive an error? It would be the only explanation as to why you are unable to synchronize with your laptop.

  • How can I transfer music from iTunes to a SD card files

    Hello, I have a 32 GB micro sd with adapter inserted into the appropriate slot ready to go, and I would like to know how can I transfer a Playlist on it. I know that I can one song at a time, but it's very long and physically trying to move the selection, either on the sd card or on desktop, does not appear to work, so I was wondering if there was another way. Thank you

    Go to the playlist, control + a to select all, drag to disk.  You will not be able to read music files from Apple.

  • Music from iPod Nano to iPhone 6 s

    I would like instructions on adding the music on my iPod Nano for my iPhone 6 s.  Thank you!

    You can not do directly. If the music was originally purchased on iTunes, you can download it on the iPhone by going on iTunes Store > bought tab down > Music tab at the top > not on this iPhone. All your purchased music will be on the left side, sorted by artist. Tap on an artist and songs appear on the right. Tap the cloud icon to download.

    Or tap recent purchases on the left, not in this iPhone and all of the songs appear on the right side. You can type the download of all the songs on the right. (Tap on the icon of cloud)

    IF you use iTunes on your computer, and the music is in your iTunes library, sync music to the iPhone this way.

  • How to transfer music from my old hardrive itunes library?

    I am trying to transfer mp3 files that have been in my old laptop to my previous hardrive library iTunes on my new computer, without having to transfer all the mp3 files on hard drive across and hoping someone might be able to advise me how to do this. I want only the music that has been specifically on the iTunes of my previous laptop. I already bought a caddy HHD and implemented so that I can access the files on the hard drive. When I go to the iTunes library on the hard disk directory and go in itunes there is no record of music so I don't know otherwise how can I access my old library. Can someone tell me if there is a way to do this?

    Music from your old library would usually be in \Users\ < user > \Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music. Is that when you're looking? See make a library of portable split. You might consider the old library running from the external hard drive, or make a new portable library that contains all your media. Anyway you should also do a backup.

  • How can I add music from songs purchased on itunes to my movie maker project

    I can't download music purchased on itunes store for my movie maker project.

    Eldemira,

    Windows Movie Maker can accept audio files in MP3 or AAC format.  Thus the newer files from the iTunes Store should work.  But if you bought before mid-2009 and iTunes files have not improved their, they are "protected" and cannot be used.
