New computer, new iPod Classic - doesn't sync my purchased tunes

In a perfect storm of technical catastrphies, my desktop PC went belly up, followed by my iPod. When I bought a new PC, the dealer transfered all My Documents, including Music to the new PC. 2 weeks later, my old iPod likewise demised but my wife bought me a new iPod Classic for my birthday. It was easy to sync my iTunes library to the new iPod except I have notice that many tunes are not being synced to iPod. Looks like none of my purchased tunes are being transferred and I get a message informing me something to the effect that this PC wasn't liked to this iPod or somesuch.
Any body know how to get around this?

Hey there,
Before you can transfer of play any songs from iTunes you have authorize your computer first. To do this just head to +Store->Authorize Computer+ and see if that does anything for you. Hope this helps.

  • IPod Classic doesn't sync all music in my library

    My iPod Classic doesn't sync all my music.  When I view my music files, the files that do not sync re not bold like the ones that sync correctly.  All files play on my computer.

    The iPod can only Sync with one Library.
    Your best option would be to add all the songs to one Library and then Sync with that.

  • My 160GB ipod classic doesn't sync properly because of silly accident - HELP pls!!

    By accident my iPod classic got disconnected in the middle of the sync process. Ever since, it can sync onlt 1GB of my 50GB music collection. Now while it syncronizes, at times it stops and reads "connected". It freezes for a while and then the -69 error pops up and also and a dialog appears that my iPod cannot be accessed. Below is what the Diagnosys mode shows. Do you think it is too screwed up??
    Thank you!!

    Yes have it replaced, You Realloc numbers are too high, it will keep increasing, as the Hardisk start and stop trying to locate some good sectors to write data.
    Most likely your iPod  battery drained out fast too.
    If it is under warranty, bring it in to APPLE store for a replacement.
    Have a nice day!

  • Ipod classic doesn't free memory even if I delete music so I cannot download any new content

    ipod classic doesn't free memory even if I delete music so I cannot download any new content

    When you connect the iPod to iTunes, in the summary page, what do you see in the Capacity bar?
    How much is used for Audio, Others, video?
    Most likely you have high usage of others, which maybe caused by incomplete sync Operation and the iPod need to be Restored.

  • My new iPod Classic doesn't 'wake' when my docking station switches on (alarm setting)

    My new iPod Classic doesn't 'wake' when my docking station switches on (alarm setting).
    My old iPod Classic never ever let me down, and I used it in the docking station every working day for two years.
    But this new iPod Classic has let me down three times just this week!
    Any clues?

    While the iPod is connected to your iTunes, look (in iTunes) on the Device/Podcasts pane (tab) and make sure the Sync Podcasts option has been selected (there should be a tick in the box).

  • New iPod Classic doesn't show podcasts?

    I've just received a brand new iPod classic and have synced it with my Mac's iTunes. When I look on the iPod through iTunes it seems to show that all my podcasts have been transferred, but when I disconnect and try to listen to a podcast I can't find them - when I click on the podcasts menu option it tells me there are no podcasts... but they're not under the music/artist menu or anything like that either.
    Does anyone have any idea what might be going on?

  • HT1296 sync new songs on new computer to ipod nano

    My old computer "crashed" but I had songs backed up. I purchased a new computer. But all my songs I have purchased will not sync on my ipod nano. Can anyone help?

    I have already tried following those steps. I went back and tried to follow them again but they did not work. Some of my songs have synced, some have not. And I am still not seeing the Autofill icon on the bottom of the menu or anywhere else. I fear something has been corrupted here and I need to start afresh.

  • HT1329 I have a new computer my Ipod when connected it does not show my music, I wish to add my already owned music from Ipod on to my computer so I can then add the cd songs I just loaded onto my Ipod

    How do I move all my music from Ipod to my new laptop I have accumulated it over the years from my own cd collection and when it synics it doesn't see it?

    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
    The ipod is not a backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • New Computer - Itunes - IPoD

    Is there a way to copy my IPOD library to my Itunes library on my new computer. It looks like the sync is one-way and it will delete my IPOD library. What am I missing?

  • New computer/old ipod - how do I update my libray from my ipod?

    new computer/old ipod - how do I update my libray from my ipod? the music wasn't transfered from cd's, shared music files...no purchased from the ipod store.

    The ipod is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything on your new computer.

  • Transfer IPOD purchases to new computer from IPOD nano

    I am wanting to download my songs from my IPOD nano to my new computer and it wont let me transfer my purchases to the new computer. I have authorize my new computer and it still won't let me. Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong? I am not computer savvy so any direction would need to be very specific!!!

    No.  If you try to sync your iPod with a new iTunes library, it'll erase all content from the iPod and replace it with the content that is in the new iTunes library. 
    So if you need to move data from your iPod back to your new PC first, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different methods and software available to assist you with this task.

    You did install the latest iTunes (10.5) right?  If the problem was that iTunes does not see the iPod try:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    or
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.
