How do I transfer songs from my backup harddrive to ipod touch 6th generation, which I have just had to restore due to a problem? I have consequently lost all my downloaded music but have it on hard drive backup. Need a very simple step by step guide please.
iPod Nano (6th Gen)
I would connect the hard drive to computer - then copy and paste the songs to your my music folder on your laptop.
Once that is done - open iTunes - File - add file to library - and navigate to the music folder - highlight all the songs and then click add.
Once it has been uploaded, you then plug your ipod to your computer - and then you can sync your music. steps are in this link Use iTunes to sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod with your computer - Apple Support

I have all the music backed up on a separate hard drive. Do I connect both this and ipod to laptop then go into Itunes(already on laptop) . Then what do I do? I am a senior citizen and not very good with technology. My son cant help as he is self isolating with pregnant wife.
I have more than 250 CDs on hard drive so its alot of songs. It sounds as though its going to be a laborious and long task. Is there a quicker way?
Sorry no, but you do have time to copy and past the music to your computer.
need an idiots guide transfer music hard drive to ipod touch
