Q: How do I transfer my songs from my nano 7th generation to a new computer?

Hi Everyone!

I transferred songs to iTunes on my desktop computer then synced it with my 7th generation nano. I have about 300 songs. I would like to sync my nano to a laptop in order to charge my nano when I travel. The problem is that my iTunes only shows one album on in my iTunes library on my laptop and I am afraid to lose all my songs on my 7th generation nano if I attempt to sync it. How can I do this without losing anything on my nano?

Thank you everyone for you help and taking the time to read this.

Hi Deggie!

Thanks to your help,I was able to find the answer for my problem. I was able to find a third party software called "TouchCopy", which you can find at this site: http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/download/win/64/index.php . This software is especially made for iPod, iPad. I tried the trial version, which transferred my music from my iPod nano to iTunes in a flash. Since it limited me to about 30 songs and worked so efficiently, I bought the license to use it and complete my music transfer. It worked really fast and I was able to do everything easily. Everything was transferred and my nano library is intact!

Thanks!

Hello Denis,

You can transfer the songs to your computer if your songs were purchases from iTunes Store. Remember not to sync if only one album in your iTunes because it will replace all songs from your iPod nano. The way to transfer as below:

Re-download or transfer your iTunes Store purchases from an iPhone, iPad or iPod to a computer - Apple Support

Hi Anson!

Thanks for answering! That is my problem. My songs are not from iTunes but transferred from music CDs I have. They were imported from the cds to iTunes on my desktop. Would uploading to iCloud as a backup then downloading to the laptop work?

No, that would not work.

The best way to handle this would be to transfer the songs from your external backup of your old laptop. Assuming you don't have them backed up then use Google to find 3rd party software to transfer the songs from your Nano to your PC.
