My old computer is broken, my ipod will not sync properly with the new PC. Old purchases

My old computer has broken and I have replaced it with a new one.  I have the latest version of Itunes on the new one, which is running windows 8.
Old music which was already on the IPOD, and any purchases through Itunes appear on both the IPOD and the ITunes account on the PC, however a new CD which I am trying to upload to ITunes appears only on the computer and does not appear to be syncing to the Ipod.
I have tried home sharing options, reinstalling Itunes, and removing the old device from the itunes account but nothing appears to be working.  Sync looks like it is happening, but very quickly says its finished and does not transfer the new items.
On the IPOD itself, it says it will sync when connected to 'master' PC (which I am guessing is the old one, which is no longer on the account and cannot be used).
All the music is in one place on the new PC.
Any ideas?
thanks

    I'm not sure which one i did. But, what i can tell you is: I clicked, dragged and dropped my music folder from my old hard drive to my iTunes on my new Mac.
    Which Music folder?
    /User//Music/ folder?
    Or /Music//iTunes/iTunes media/Music?
    On the new computer, delete /Music/iTunes/ folder.
    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.
    Open iTunes.
    This is all you need to do.

  • I just got a new computer, and now my ipod will not sync to my new one, even though i "deauthorized" my old one? help please?

    As the title says really. I deauthorized my old computer and therefore i thought that would mean i could sync my ipod, when i authorized my new one but it won't sync to my library on this laptop. why?

    Before you start, remember that connecting to a new iTunes library will erase your device during the first sync.
    Here's how to save your data and settings: How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    After that you can connect it and set it up again. If it is not recognized in iTunes, follow this article: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

  • HT4759 Help, I can not get my iphone to change my email. I changed it on icloud and itunes and it comes up correctly there. I have synced my phone hooked to computer. all updates are done. The phone will not come up with the new email soI cant use icloud

    phone says Photo Stream.   photos for the icloud account "icloud" cannot be accessed. Review your account information in Settings. When I got to settings a pop up says Apple ID password and under that is my email. BUT it is the INCORRECT email. When i try to put in the password for the OLD email it won't work. It wont work if I put the password in for the NEW email either. In Settings -> my Account says the OLD email, when I click on that email it takes me to the icloud Account Information. Says Apple ID is the Old email. BUT I changed my email on icoud and verified it I also change my email in itunes and am able to access the Apple App store on my phone and itunes. It is correct everywhere except on my iphone. It came over correctly to my iPAD but won't on my phone.  I also can't use the icloud push or load my icloud storage plan to my phone. Please help...

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

    I have a problem with sorting playlists using iPhone 4/iOS 5 and iTunes 10.5. I use the field "comments" to sort my playlists, when sorting by the field "comments" ascending everything is OK, but when "sorting" by the field "comments" descending it keeps appearing ascending.
    I also notice that the name of the playlists appear inverted between iTunes and iPhone.
    I did not have this problem before, this a new issue with iTunes 10.5/iOS 5. Need help to fix these sorting issue problems in iTunes 10.5.

  • After updating iTunes, my iPod will not sync properly

    Recently iTunes prompted me to update the version 10.2.2.12.   This seemed to go successfully.   However, now I get a -50 error message for about 100 various songs when trying to sync with my classic iPod.   I am unable to sync the whole library nor can I sync just selected playlists.   This never happened before.   I have tried the reinstalling .dll files to no avail.   Any suggestions?

  • Why does my google toolbar not work properly with the new updates. It was such a convenience to use the old toolbar to go to places I had visited before. Now I cannot get those old addresses with anything but Firefox 3.62 or whatever.

    Why does Google Toolbar not work with the newer versions of Firefox.

    Google have stopped supporting Google Toolbar on the latest versions of Firefox. Apparently one of the reasons for this decision is that modern browsers already tend to support many of the functions that google toolbar provides.
    Firefox does allow you to specifically bookmark sites you have chosen, and also automatically remembers many of the sites you visit.

  • Had to restore ipod now it will not sync any of the apps that we have downloaded

    Ipod was locked with password daughter forgot, had to restore ipod, now ipod will not sync any of the apps that we downloaded from itunes.  Anyone know why???

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1
    Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    Or maybe:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I just got a new computer and my iPOD will not sync to it because of the old computer. How can I get my library to sync on the new computer????

    I originally synced my iPOD to my PC in April 2011.  I purchased a new computer but my iPOD will not sync to it because it is synced to the old PC.  I do not want to erase my iPOD to sync with the new PC because I have loaded alot of music from CD's to it.  HELP!

    See this article how to transfer your data? How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
    This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
    Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
    The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
    Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    As mentioned by vazandrew, music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
