How can i put my old ipod's music onto my new imac?

I'm buying a new imac. Will I be able to put the music from my ipod onto the computer? To put it onto my PC in the past I had to download softwear from the internet.

bondocrob, Welcome to the discussion area!
The BEST thing to do is backup your iTunes library from your previous/old Mac to an external hard drive. Then connect that drive to your new iMac and copy the iTunes library to your new iMac.
iTunes will not copy music from an iPod to a computer. That would enable anyone to easily share music to friends who hadn't purchased it.
If you must copy it from your iPod to your iMac, you will need to use Senuti or something similar.

  • Can I put my old iPod info/apps onto a new iPod?

    Hi.
    I'm planning to return my IPod Touch and get a new one because of some charging problems in the existing one. I don't want to lose any apps that I downloaded from the App Store. My question: when I connect the new iPod to my computer, will it sync all my data (including purchased and free apps) onto my new iPod?
    Also, before I return the "old" iPod, I want to eliminate all my personal data from it. Do I do this by using iTunes to "Restore" the settings?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You can create a backup of your iPod touch in iTunes, just right click the iPod and choose backup. More detailed information about backups here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    You can download apps again with no additional charge.
    You can completely wipe all data from the iPod by going to Settings> General> Reset> Erase all Content and Settings> Erase iPod.

  • How can I sync my old ipod touch apps to my new ipod touch

    I have an ipod touch 3G and just got an ipod touch 4g, I want to get the apps with their history (such as my calendar and golf scores) on to my new one.
    But apparently I made a mistake when I registered my new touch.  Is there any way I can sync my old apps on to my new ipod touch? 

    Set the new one to be the same name as the old one and it should restore everything on to your knew one.

  • How do i put info thats on a cd onto my new imac that i bought last week.  I want to buy microsoft office for it but dont know how im going to put it on the computer

    How do i put info from a cd  on my new imac that i bought last week since there is no place to put a cd?

    If you have another Mac with an optical you might be able to use remote disk. Otherwise you'll need to either purchase software that can be installed from download or purchase an external disk drive. Practally any cheap drive from places like OWC, Amazon or NewEgg will work.

  • How do I get an old iPod touch backup onto a new iPod touch?

    My daughter dropped her iPod touch 32GB and shattered the screen. We replaced it today, and I am trying to restore the last iPod touch backup from my iTunes account. It is about one week old. When I first connected the NEW iPod touch it gave me an option to restore, but then prompted me that the IOS was out of date and I had to first update the IOS then restore.  Exact message:
    The backup of "NAME iPod" is cannot be restored to this iPod because the software on the iPod is too old.  To restore this iPod from the backup, you must first set up the iPod as new and restore the software to its latest version.
    So I chose NEW, and then it seemed to configure it.  It is IOS 5.1.1.  But all to the "base" system. How now do I restore the apps, music, etc from the last backup
    I named this new iPod the exact same.

    To restore from backup see:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
    The backup does not included synced media like apps and music. you can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    The apps have to be in the iTunes library before you restore from backup otherwise there is no place for the app date to be restored to.

  • I have 2 ipod touches. I backed up the new one with old's info. The old one will not unlock with the password I had wrote down and I tried my new ones password.  How can I reset the old ipod without affecting the new one and how can I unlock the old one?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • I have a new iPod Touch, so how can I deauthorise my "old" iPod Touch before giving it to my brother or husband?

    I have a new iPod Touch, so how can I deauthorise my "old" iPod Touch, before giving it to my brother or husband?
    Thank you.

    Are you just trying to deauthorize it from your iTunes account, or do you want to totally erase it?
    Your iPod touch is not actually authorized to anything other than the computer you sync it with; it is not authorized with the iTunes store the way your computer is. Giving your iPod to someone else won't give them your store info. Once they plug it into their own iTunes, it will force them to erase the whole thing in order to sync it with their own computer.
    If you want to wipe the thing clean before giving it to them, plug it into your computer and choose the option to Restore it. (Or on the device itself, to go Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.)

  • HT1351 I have an IPOD that has not been synced to Itunes for several years. I no longer have the same computer or e-mail address.  How can I sync my old IPOD material to my new itunes account?

    I have an older IPOD that has not been synced to Itunes for seceral yeras. I no longer have the same computer or e-mail address. How can I sync my old IPOD material to my new Itunes account?

    Your email address (used as your Apple ID) does not matter, because iPods are not directly linked to a particular Apple ID. 
    NOTE:  You can still use your old Apple ID, even if your that email address is no longer valid.  As long as you remember your Apple ID password.  Go here and click on Manage your Apple ID.
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    You can change the primary email address used by Apple, although the Apple ID remains the same.
    Back to the iPod.  iTunes syncing is generally in one direction only, from the computer's iTunes library to the iPod.  You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.  (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
    Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your new iTunes library.  After confirming everything is there, sync your iPod to that library.  If there is any content purchased from the iTunes Store that uses DRM (copy protection), such as audiobooks, videos, and very old song purchases, iTunes may prompt you to authorize your computer with your Apple ID (the one you used to make the purchases).
