How can I sync my ipod 6g. to a new computer with out losing all the info

My computer is starting to fail so I bought a new one. How do I sync my ipods they are 6 gen to the new computer with out losing all the data that is on the ipod?

Was your iPod previously set up to Manually Manage (where you dragged/dropped the music) or was it set to auto sync (where it started sycning as soon as you plugged it in.)?
If it was set to Manual, you have no worries. Just continue on your way.
If it was set to Auto, you will have to transfer your purchases or redownload them from the iTunes store.
You're either going to have to get the other music back from the websites/CDs you got them from before or find an iPod ripping software program that will do it for you.

  • How can I sync my iPhone music to my new Mac with out loosing my the music I already have in the phone?

    Bought a new Mac and iTunes won't let me sync new music to my phone because I used to sync it in my old Mac.  How can I sync with the new PC with out loosing the music I already have in my phone?

    Copy everything from your old computer to your new one then sync.
    Iphone will sync with one library/computer at a time.  Syncing to another will indeed erase the current content.

  • How can I sync my iPod Touch to a new computer?

    My Laptop's hard drive died: that's bad enough, but my data was backed up onto my iPod Touch, including some very rare tunes that I can't ever get again. I then installed iTunes onto my wife's desktop, but now I'm told that if I want to sync the iPod, I have to delete everything that's on it as the iPod is already synced to another computer - which now doesn't exist.
    I thought that backing up my rare music to my iPod made it safe; it was on my hard drive and my iPod. Now I'm told that if I want to sync my iPod to another computer I have to delete its contents. I can't afford to lose the music, because I can't replace it. Surely this can't be right?
    Incidentally, because I can't sync my iPod I have missed at least 2 appointments because my calendar isn't updated.
    I understand that Apple are worried about data being copied from one computer to another, but surely there must be a way to register a new computer as one to which I should sync?.

  • How can I sync my iPhone/iPad to a new computer without losing data on the devices?

    I have the itunes home sharing set up. I have 2 different laptops, each with it's own iTunes on it, and each has it's own library. I have my iPad and iPhone synced to Laptop #1, but this laptop is old and I want to sync my devices to Laptop #2. I've used the home sharing to transfer the songs, videos, etc to move everything from the iTunes on Laptop #1 to the iTunes on Laptop #2. But when I connected my devices to Laptop #2, I got the message saying that my devices were synced to a different iTunes and they can only be synced with 1 iTunes at a time. It warned me if I synced to Laptop #2, I would lose the data on my device, and the data on the iTunes of Laptop #2 would be transferred.
    I don't want to lose any of the data on my devices, but I want to sync to Laptop #2. How can I do this? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

    Hello again and sorry to bother you. I was hoping you could help me with iTunes 10.5. This update has been a pain. When I first installed it, my entire library was gone. Luckily, I saved the "iTunes Library" file before updating and copied it in place and my library appeared. But now the problem I'm having is that the iTunes can't find any of the "original" files, even though my iTunes Media file location has not changed (it's on an external network drive". When I click on the "Do you want to find the original file" I can find it in the appropriate folder. I checked the "Preferences" and under "Advanced" I re-mapped it to the appropriate location and already had the 2 boxes for iTunes organizing files checked. Then went to "File" and "Organize Library" and clicked the first check box and then got the "Copying Files" bar. When this was completed, I thought it would be able to find the original files. But I'm still getting the same error message about not being able to find the "original" files. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks again for your help.

  • How can I sync apps again after getting a new computer without deleting?

    HI folks. So I had to reinstall my computer but I have a backup of everything on a hard drive. My question is what I need to copy over to make sure that my apps can sync again without deleting my apps on my iPad currently. Every time I got to check the apps for sync it tells me the ones on my iPad will be deleted which I do not want. Looking for assistance. Thanks.

    Itunes remembers what u have downloaded (free and paid apps) so if u have to 'authorize' the computer again as a new computer, (u r allowed 5) itunes will just reinstall apps and app info eg saved games scores etc will be still there after restore or update.
