How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPad with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

As far as I am aware an iPhone that has been associated with one library cannot be assoicated with a new one without iTunes wanting to erase and reload content from the local library. This normally means the loss of non-store purchases unless they are recovered first with third party tools. Setting the device to manual management on anything other than the "current" home library of the device will trigger the deletion of content.

HELP!! I can't sync my iphone 3GS with my new Imac.

I can't sync my iphone 3GS with my new Imac, so I can't download my apps to make a backup.

I fixed it!! I just had to authorize the new computer hihi

I need to get the music off my Ipod Nano 2nd GEN onto either ITunes or in a music foldes on my new computer. Not all the music was purchased from Apple Itunes HOW DO I DO THIS WITHOUT LOOSING ALL MY MUSIC??

I have not had a computer for several years and I just got a new one. My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. Thank goodness I had it all on my Ipod Nano 2nd GEN. Now my problem is that I don't know how to get the music off my Ipod Nano onto my new computer!!! I was able to get the songs that I purchased thru ITunes by just authorizing my new computer. But I have alot more music that is on my Ipod nano that I can't put into my ITunes library. In fact, I can't even get my music into a file folder on my computer!! I really need help. I don't have any copies of the music anywhere else and some of it is hard to get. How do I get my music either into ITunes or into a file folder on my new computer or even if I could get my computer to recognize my Ipod and sync all the music into windows media or something like that. Every time I connect my IPod all that happens is that it tells me if I sync the IPod that it will replace all the music from my ITunes library on to my IPod. And I am guessing that means all my music on the IPod will be erased. PLEASE HELP ME!!!! Thanks from the bottom of my songsters heart

From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

HT1329 How can I sync my iPod touch with a new laptop without losing apps, books, and music?

My new laptop is already authorized and I have all my music in the iTunes library. I just need to able to get all my apps on it and I need to be able to sync without anything being deleted. Please help.

Move or copy all the content from the old computer or the backup of the old computer to the new computer.
iDevices are NOT backup devices.

How can I sync my iPhone 4 with a new MacBook Pro without losing all my data and settings?

I used to sync my iPhone 4 with a PC running Windows XP until the hard drive died. Thankfully, I already had a backup of all my iTunes media (Songs, TV Shows, Movies, Podcasts, Apps, etc), so when I bought a new MacBook Pro, transferring my iTunes library was easy.
My problem now is that I want to sync my iPhone 4 with my new MacBook Pro without losing all the data and settings. I have already used iTunes to back it up and transfered my purchases onto the mac. I just need help to sync the iPhone with the Mac without losing app data, emails, contacts, settings.
Everytime I click on the tabs (to sync contacts, apps, music, et al), I get an error message that reads:
"Are you sure you want to sync apps? All existing apps and their data on the iPhone “Ryan's iPhone” will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library."
What do I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryan

Is it possible i can sync my old ipod touch with my new laptop even tho it used to be synced with my old computer without loosing all my music?

how do i sync my ipod touch with my laptop without loosing all of my songs from my ipod already?

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- For other music you will need a third-party program like on of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Then connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTune and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.

HT4972 Will I loose all my music of the device when I update my iPod? I don't have any of the music on my iTunes

I need to update my iPod software, but I don't want to if I'm going to loose all my music. I don't have any of the songs on my iTunes on my laptop because my laptop is new. I don't sync my ipod to my laptop for that reason.

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
- Restore the iPod from that backup. The iPod will be updated too.
Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

I can't sync my iPod Touch with my new Macbook.

I'm having trouble syncing my iPod touch with my new Macbook Air and I don't know what to do. I've managed to get all my music and films etc. off my old iTunes library but when I plug my iPod into the computer, it doesn't come up with the typical 'erase/replace or transfer' message that you get when you plug it into other computers. Someone please help because it is driving me insane. The iPod was originally synced with a Windows computer and I think this might be what is causing my problem but I really need help fixing it. Thanks!

Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to new computer.

How do I split off my Ipad and Ipod from my wifes account that we have both used without loosing all my music, films and apps?

I currently have an Ipod Touch and Ipad 2 wi-fi that were linked to my wifes account on her computer, she has an Iphone 4, Ipad 2 wi-fi + 3G and an Ipod touch.
Over the years we have combined our joint music collections on to 1 itunes account - Silly Me! I now need to change the arrangement so that I am able to log in to my new Itunes account, using my own computer without loosing any of my music, films and apps etc. Anybody got any solutions as I have tried to back up, open a new account etc and then sync and GUESS WHAT? everything disappears. music, films, apps etc. PLEASE HELP

I'm afraid you can't do that on iOS devices. Any purchases that were done using the single account, in this case your wife's, can only be used if you continue to log in to the same iTunes account. If you now want to use your own separate account you will need to re-purchase any of the apps or media you want to use using your own separate account. Only iTunes on a computer can be authorized to use more than one account.
Most families use one account for purchases for the very reason that they want to collectively share all the apps and media purchases. It saves money by not having to make separate purchases of the same things for each account.
Hopefully, in the future, Apple will allow people to consolidate two or more accounts in to one so that purchases made on separate accounts will be able to be shared amongst those people.

How can I sync my iPhone 4 with a new Laptop

Is there a way I can just make my new laptop my new computer of choice for sync'ing my iPhone?
Thanks,
