Reloading ipod and itunes on a new computer

I am trying to reload ipod and itunes on a new computer I recently bought. Because of disc management issues, I had these on an external drive (assigned the letter "F") on my old system. The letter "F" is assigned to a disc drive on my new computer. Every time I try to load ipod or itunes, the installer sequence tells me there is no available memory on drive F of the new machine (true enough), but will not let me re assign to a new drive.
suggestions on how to resolve this?
many thanks. Bill

    My laptop recently crashed and is unsalvageable with my itunes library on it.  My ipod still has all of my music still on it. 
    Is there a way that I can put the songs on my ipod onto itunes on my new computer without loosing them or having to buy them all over again?

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your iPod for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.

    You can also back up iTunes and restore it on your new computer How to back up your media in iTunes , but the iPhone will be erased anyway during the first sync.

  • Transferring songs on Ipod to itunes library on new computer

    I recently purchased a new computer and would like my ipod to synch with itunes on my new computer rather than uploading all my music again manually--- extremely time consuming. How do I do this without losing everything that is currently saved on my ipod???

    Set your iPod to manual update. Do this on your original PC first then when you connect it to the new one, it won't auto-sync to the new empty library. There's a tutorial here:http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial/ipgettingstartedt3.html
    If you no longer have your old PC read this before connecting to the new one: "How to keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93779
    If you still have your original PC, you can in fact use your iPod to migrate your current iTunes music folder to your new one: "How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173-en

  • Is it OK to copy and paste Aperture and iTunes libraries to new computer?

    Well, yes, you can copy them over.  It's probably easier to use Migration Assistant though, as a lot depends on how the machines are connected, etc.

    My boyfriend doesn't have a computer anymore so he set his iPad up through his iTunes account.  Can he log into iTunes from my computer to update it without losing his stuff.  It asks us if we want to reset his iPad and the same with his iPod touch, but he doesn't want to lose all his music.

  • HT1451 Can I move the playlists on my Ipod to Itunes on my new computer (which has all my music, but not my playlists)?

    My old computer died and I bought a new one and installed Itunes.  I reloaded all my old music, which I had on a backup disk.  Itunes recognizes my music.  I would like to move the existing playlists from my Ipod to Itunes.  Is this possible?  If so, how do I do it?

    If you connect your ipod to the itunes. If it tells you you need to erase then just cancel that.
    Click on your iPod in the left hand sidebar
    Ctrl S to show sidebar
    Select ipod and expand the selection by clicking onthe black arrow
    Right mouse click on the iPod Playlist and select export
    Then when you are done Use File > Library > Import Playlist (Ctrl + B to show top menu in windows)
    This should put your playlists in iTunes which if the songs are there should work fine

  • HT1386 Re: syncing iPod to iTunes Library on new computer.

    I've just migrated to a new pc (Windows 8), have installed my iTunes Library and the iTunes software. Music plays on my pc. BUT I can't get my iPod to sync. I have tried different USB ports.  It used to sync automatically once I established the connection.  When I push the "sync" button, all I get in the window at the top is the legend "Starting sync" and the horizontal barber pole (static) for a few moments, and then nothing.
    Btw, it outrages me that Apple wants to charge $19 (plus tax) for a consultation!

    When all of your synced media like apps and music are in the iTunes libary of the new computer backup the iPod to iTunes and restore from that backup

    Reason: you can only sync all media with one iTunes libary/computer.

  • How do I move my ipod and music to a new computer?

    I just bought a macbook pro and I need to move my music and my iPod to the new Mac. When I tried to sync my ipod to the Mac it told me it was going to erase the iPod.
    How do I move my Music and have my iPod sync with the new computer?

    Copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
    The Apple store will do this for you.
    You can call Apple support and they will help you do it.

  • IPhone and iTunes on a new computer....

    Ok, so i just got the Dell XPS M1330... and im transfering my stuff form my old XPS M140, How do i transfer my iTunes stuff to my new notebook? I already downloaded iTunes on the new notebook.... what do i do from here to get everything the way is was on my new notebook. Will i lose my information (contacts, music, phone number, basically everything that is already synced on my iPhone) if i sync it to my new notebook? will it automatically trasfer all the info from my iPhone to my new notebook..... what will happen? I m scared of loosing data or havign to do everything all over again!!!

    D3UC3,
    When you sync the information from the Info tab (contacts and calendar). Since it will be the first sync you will be asked if you want to merge or replace the data. If you choose replace you can choose whether to replace data on the iPhone or on the computer.
    iTunes can transfer the purchased iTunes Store content from the iPhone if you authorize the new computer for your iTunes Store account. Other music, video, podcasts, etc won't be transferred.
    If you have file sharing setup between the two machines, it might be preferable to just copy the iTunes folder in My Documents\My Music\ to the new computer. It will bring over your playlists, songs, and ratings.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • I have a question when I try to authorize my daughters ipod to itunes on a new computer it pulls up a email addresse I do not know and will not transfer her music is there any way to fix this Thanks in advance

    When trying to authorize my daughtes ipod classic to a new laptop it pops up and asks for apple id but  the email is not one of ours and  it will not let me change it is there any way to fix this problem Thanks in advance

    To whom does the email address belong to? Are you sure it wasn't an email address used in the past or perhaps one that had belonged to a friend of hers?
    Either way, if the music on her iPod was purchased under an account not belonging to her or you, there is much you can do. Sorry.

  • 2 ipods and itunes accounts on one computer

    We have one computer in our home, and it has multiple accounts.  My iTouch is synced with my iTunes account and my nephews iTouch is synced with his iTunes account.  I was in the process of updating his ipod for him so he could use the features on his iPod like I do.  However, ituens was telling me that only one iTunes account can have the download feature active at a time.  (My iTunes/iPod allows my purchases from either the computer or iPod to automatically download on the other without having to use the file/transfer purchases option)  Is there anyway for both iPods/iTunes accounts to have these features?
    Thank you.

  • Copying Music Files and iTunes Playlists Onto New Computer

    I just received my new MacBook Pro and am going to need to copy my music files, iTunes playlists, etc. from my existing PC to my new MacBook Pro. Can anyone recommend some good/definitive articles or posts on how to do this seamlessly?
    One thing I should note is that while I keep a lot of my music in my iTunes folder, I also keep a lot of it in other folders on my hard drive, and I'd strongly prefer to maintain this file organization. I'm hoping this won't cause any issues with the transition. I also really, really, really hope I'm able to cleanly transition my playlists without having to manually recreate anything, as I have hundreds of playlists that I've spent literally thousands of hours curating!
    Thanks in advance,
    Alex

    if i were you, i would move my complete library to the Mac first. you can easily move content to different locations later on. please post back if you want to know more.
    my reasons are these:
    1) as the articles i linked above outline, it is not as simple as +drag & drop+ if you want to retain playlists, ratings, etc. when making the move from winsloth to Mac. check this thread for possible problems: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11495714#11495714.
    2) it is generally better to let iTunes do the moving of files. if you do his manually, chances are iTunes will lose track of their location.
    well, you might want to wait and see if another user comes up with a brighter idea
    good luck !
