memory cards that fit on your keychain.  They hold from 512 MB to 3 GBs.  Put music on card, put card on new compy, transfer...repeat until your library is all done.

Most of the time there is no easy way to do this.  A good example of this would be Microsoft Office.  When it installs, it puts hundreds of files on your system, all over the place.  Then it rights a few thousand registry entries.  Again, all over the place.  But if this is a simple program you could do a manual move.  I have done a few that you just have to copy the C:&#92;program files&#92;???? folder to the new computer.  This works about 5% of the time though.  Usually a reinstall is required.  If you are the licensed owner of the software then you could contact the manufacture and purchase a CD from them for a couple of bucks.  Sometimes if you search the web you can find a copy as well.   Good luck

Well, first, is your song library in iTunes already? If it is, then hook up your iPod and when it loads and appears in the column on the left hand side of the screen, drag the item called Library (also in the left hand column of iTunes) onto the icon labeled your iPod. (whatever name it has). If your library is in another program, then install iTunes. When you load it up, it will ask you if you want to search your computer for other music you already have. Click yes, then the option that will say My Computer or My Music or something like that. (its been a long time since i did that, so please excuse any mistake.) it will automatically search for music and add it to your iTunes library. then repeat what i told you first to get it to your iPod.

Get a jump drive. You can put files on it an move it to the other computer. Or you could burn a blank file cd and put all your files on it. Those worked great when i got a new computer. This is the quick and easy way.

search your computer for the file and then play it in itunes // and it's usually added to your itunes so the next time you update it everything will be all set.

dont listen to the poster who said the ipods are copyrighted. that is wrong.\n\nbasically, i got a new laptop recently, and transferred my music this way:\n\nattach ipod via usb to old laptop. open ipod settings. click box for 'use ipod as a disc drive'.\n\nyou can then click on 'my computer', and will be able to drag and drop your music files onto the ipod, then attach it to the new laptop and drag and drop them into a file of your choice on there.\n\nits easier to transfer all music files if you empty the actual ipod of your current music first, as it frees up the space to transfer most of them at once - if not, you have to do it a few times over as the music already stored is taking up the room.\n\ni hope this has helped.

You can not simply copy across programs. You need to get the install discs for the programs and install them on your new computer. You can copy across the files, but without the programs installed you will be unable to open them.

Install Itunes and Ipod software on your PC. Then connect the Ipod, when you connect the itunes software will ask "This ipod is linked to another library, would you like to replace the files and link to this librarry"... SELECT NO... if you say yes, then you'll lose all the songs.\n\nOnce you know the ipod is connected, copy the files. \n\nOr else, try this, dont know if it'll work, \nas soon as you connect your ipod, your system will identify it as an external storage device. once its connected, open it through "My Computer" and copy the files to any desired location

If you have a Windows machine, simply plug in your IPod, find it listed in Windows Explorer, and make sure your machine can view hidden files.\n\nOpen the 'IPod_Control' folder and copy the 'My_Music' folder to your PC. Import those tracks into ITunes and put them in order there. Select Edit, Preferences, and choose the Advanced tab. Select a location for your music library by clicking the Change button, and then check Keep iTunes Music folder organized.\n\nUtilities such as the $15 IPodRip--available for PCs and Macs from The Little App Factory--can help automate this process.\n\nLittle App Factory: http://www.thelittleappfactory.com/

Follow these steps:\n1. Download iTunes from http://www.apple.com and install it on your computer.\n2. Run iTunes on your computer.\n3. Make sure iTunes know about where your music is. When you install it you can have it search for you music or:\n3a. If your music is already on your computer, click on the library icon on the left of iTunes and open a file window and drag the music files into the large window on the right. If the music is not in mp3 format you must select one or more songs, right click your mouse, and select "Convert Selection to MP3".\n3b. If your music is on CD, insert the CD into the CD player in your computer (you must have one for this to work) and iTunes will read it. Once the songs are displayed, highlight all of them (press Ctrl A after clicking once on one song), right click on the hightlighted files, then select "Convert Selection to MP3". Do this for every CD you want to load into your iPod.\n4. Connect the cable that came with your iPod with the thin wide cable with the icon facing in the same direction as the face of the iPod. Don't force it and make sure the icon of the plug is facing the same direction as the face of the iPod.\n5. Connect the thick narrow cable to your computer to the USB port, it will be the only hole in the computer that it will fit into. Agian, don't force it. If it doesn't go in easily, turn it around and try again.\n6. Wait a few second and iTunes will recognize your iPod automatically.\n7. Once iTunes recognizes your iPod it will ask you if you want to asociate this iPod with this iTunes, just answer yes.\n8. Any music you add to iTunes from this point forward will autmatically be downloaded onto your iPod anytime you connect it to your computer.\n9. Do not disconnect your iPod until iTunes tells you that your iPod has been updated. You can also leave it connected to charge up the iPod battery.\n10. If you add songs after your iPod is connected, the iPod will not be updated. When you add music after connecting your iPod to the computer. Go to the File menu and select Update "xxxx" near the bottom. In this case "xxxx" is the name you assigned to your iPod followed by the word iPod.

If you have the CDs/floppies for your computer's drivers, try those.\n\nIf you don't, download off of the internet from another computer, then put it on a CD or a flash drive, then put it into the original computer that doesn't have internet.

You cannot do it through Itunes or windows.  You need a third party program.  The one I used was ePhPod.\n\nYou install it on the computer you want to put the music onto and you plug your iPod into that pc.  Do not sync the music.  Open EphPod and then select the drive that your iPod is identified as and it will give you the contents of your iPod.\n\nYou can then transfer whatever songs you want.  I have had no problems with it.\n\nEdit:  EphPod is free.

Yes, you can import the songs into iTunes. I actually like to get audio books from the library and import them into iTunes and then delete them after I'm done.
