Putting Songs From One Ipod Nano Onto Another!

My kids both have ipod nanos. One has the 1st gen. nano and my other one has the 2nd gen. nano. My son with the 2nd gen. ipod nano, he accidently deleted all his songs. Anyway,he wanted to try to put all the songs my other son with the 1st gen. nano on his 2nd gen ipod nano. IS there anyway to do that? Can you copy and paste songs from the 1st gen. ipod nano to a 2nd gen ipod nano. If you could please tell me how. It will be a great help. Thanks!

I am guessing that your computer does not have the music library your #1 son has right? If your music library simply had the music #1 son has then simply sync the same songs to #2 son's ipod.

If this is not the case then there is NO way of getting music from #1 son ipod to #2 son ipod directly without going thru the computer. Hence it is vital to have the songs from #1 son ipod in your itunes music library for #2 son ipod to have the same music as #1 son has.

(confused yet???) 😟

So you either need to get the music from the #1 son ipod to your computer itunes library or say that #2 son is out of luck. which is not good 😟

So look at this link of a previous discussion for software that will get the music from the ipod to the computer.

How to get music from ipod to computer

THen it may be good to read this article on how to manage multiple ipods with one computer.

Multiple Ipods with one computer

(And i did not mean to categorize one kid as better as the other by the usage of numbers 😟 ...... they are all special!)

Hope this helps

no both of my sons use the same computer to sync their ipods and they both use the same library of songs but my son with the 2nd gen. nano sync's his music from his own playlist but some how all the songs got deleted but he didnt care and just asked me if i know how to just put all the songs my other son has on his ipod onto my other sons ipod.
