Syncing with new PC
My pc died within 2 weeks after I got my iPhone, so I am very new to this. What do I do to get it to sync with new pc - including software updates? Can it be set to sync with multple pc's?
I've a new PC. Am trying to get my phone to synchronise with the new PC but every time I connect it it just disconnects. It has transferred photos okay, but then when I try to say yes to anything it starts to run and then beep and close.
I've moved from an XP to Windows 7. My iPod Touch synched perfectly with the new PC but I am just fed up of trying with the phone. I luckily still have the XP PC but really don't want to have to keep closing the windows 7 one down and opening the XP just to use the phone.
Anyone any idea what I do to stop the phone closing down. It has verified and I did get asked the question about being synced with another computer, I said yes and within seconds crash.
Seems to close and re-open regularly, as I am writing this the phone has just re-conected itself to iTunes and is going beep beep, off, on, off on.

My ipod touch 3rd generation OS 5.1.1 (9B206) will not sync with new Itunes version 12.0.1.26. Can anyone help
What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Try syncing using the manual method
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
If iTunes does not see the iPod:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See

- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

I orginally synced and starting using my iphone4 with one laptop. Now I want to change and always sync and manage my iphone from a new laptop. Right now I want to update the iOS, but before I can do that, I need to get all my apps from the iphone to my new laptop itunes library. How? When I try to sync with new library which has no apps, I get a message that my iphone apps will be lost.
How can I move forward??
thx.All iTunes content on your iPhone - all music, movies, tv shows, and 3rd party apps should be in your iTunes library on your computer for this and several other reasons. All apps on your iPhone would be in your iTunes library if Sync Apps had been selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. With this selected, after downloading an app direct with your iPhone the app will be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so. This also provides for downloading an app with iTunes on your computer and installing the app on your iPhone via the iTunes sync process, and for removing an app from your iPhone without deleting the app by deselecting the app under the Apps tab followed by a sync. To reinstall the app again later, reselect the app under the Apps tab followed by a sync. This also provides for transferring your entire iTunes library from one computer to another per the link provided.
First you need to authorize your new laptop with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
After confirming all 3rd party apps on your iPhone were transferred to your iTunes library, select Sync Apps under the Apps tab and make sure all apps below are selected. Select Apply. -

What if sync with new computer does not work?
logical connection to old with WindowsXP, 32 bit version of iTunes.
New is Windows7 with 64bit versionSyncing 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.
Do this:
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 phone 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.
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

You'll need to connect the iPod Touch to your iTunes library in recovery mode and restore it factory settings. There is no other way.
Here are instructions for getting your iPod touch into recovery mode.

Deleted songs on my iPod by sync with new Mac - ups! Can I sync with iPad to get all song back?
deleted songs on my iPod when sync with new Mac - ups! However all songs are still on my iPad library. Can I sync with iPad to get all song back?
You can use the transfer purchases feature to put the songs back into iTunes from the iPad - as long as the songs were purchased from iTunes.
Connect the iPad, launch iTunes and then right click on the iPad name under devices and select Transfer Purchases. But ..... Before you do that - turn off auto sync first.
Launch iTunes and the go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing Automatically. Check the box at the bottom that says that. Then click OK. Then you can connect the iPad to the new Mac to transfer the purchases.
This will only work for music purchased from iTunes. If you have music ripped from CD's, you will need a third party app - like TouchCopy.
You can also download the songs again in iTunes as long as you use the same Apple ID. But read this about downloading past purchases as there are some restrictions based on where you live.

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the new 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 on of those discussed here:
newer copy
- 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.
Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music. -

I have moved my itunes to a new computer and now my ipod will lnot sync with new line up
i have moved mu itunes to a new computer and my ipod will not sync with new music.
If you are using automatic syncing, you may need to set up the iPod's Music tab in iTunes.
Select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary). Select Music there. This is the Music tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync the iPod with songs. Sync Music is checkmarked for automatic syncing.
If your entire iTunes music library can fit on the nano, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Then, create your selection of songs below. For example, if you want to keep it simple, create a new playlist in iTunes. Put ALL songs you want on the iPod on that playlist, including songs from the newly added music. Back on the Music tab, find and checkmark that new playlist under Playlists.
When you click Apply, your selection of songs on the Music tab syncs to the iPod, replacing its current content. Going forward, any changes that are related to the Music tab settings sync automatically when you connect the iPod, or when you click Sync. So, if there is a playlist with your "iPod songs," you can just update that playlist (add and remove songs) whenever you want; iTunes updates the iPod with the same changes at the next opportunity. -
HT4527 Followed all steps - phone not syncing with new itunes/new pc
I have followed the steps in this article for moving itunes to a new computer. I had no problems with loading my music, itunes folder and mobilesync backups to an external drive and copying them all to a new pc. (Windows 8). Installed itunes onto the new computer and plugged in my phone and restored with last backup. All went well with that. The computer is authorised with my account.
THE PROBLEM: Now when I plug in my iphone 5 to new itunes/ new windows 8 pc, it does not sync. It goes through 3 of 3 steps in about 2 seconds saying syncing, but not really syncing. I tested by adding a new app through the itunes and then synced phone. It didn't add it to the phone. Then I deleted it and added an app to the phone through the app store on the phone. When I synced the phone itunes failed to recognize a purchase on the phone that needed to be added to itunes.
So the itunes and phone are not actually in sync with each other and I don't know how to correct that. I have an ipad with retina display which needs to be added but I don't dare until I figure out what the problem is with syncing the devices to the new itunes/computer. It sees my phone when plugged in - I see my 4 pages of apps on the apps tab. I do not see my email accounts listed on the INFO tab. It just says "your contacts/calendars are being synced with your phone over the air." In the block where my accounts were listed on the old itunes/computer it is empty on this one. The phone is continuing to download email though.
Any help in getting the phone and new itunes in true sync again would be much appreciated!Same problem with a mac. My computer will recognize the iPod on the desktop and itunes even opens up when I plug it in, but the iPod doesn't appear on the iTunes menu and won't let me sync.

New computer--do i erase ipod and sync with new itunes library?
I downloaded itunes on my ancient pc and that's where I synced my ipod. i finally put that pc out to pasture and now have a new laptop. i downloaded itunes to the new computer, and when i hooked up my ipod i got the message "the ipod is synced with another itunes library. Do you want to erase this ipod and sync with this itunes library?" So do I want to erase and sync or not? I'm scared I'm going to mess everything up if I erase it.
One more question: my daughter got a new ipod; once i figure out this syncing issue with my existing ipod, do I need to set up a new account for the new ipod, or can i sync it with the account i already have?
sorry for all the questions--I'm a newbie and want to get this right. Thanks for your help!Hello. I recently had to restore my computer (as if it was new due to, to many viruses) Afterwards itunes was still there but the music i have on my ipod was not previously purchased through itunes but they were on my computer and placed in itunes library and sent to my ipod. Well after restoring my pc, itunes opened up when i connected my ipod and it asked me to update. So i updated to itunes 10. Now it is telling me that this ipod is registered to my fiance' and it is running off a different itunes library, and that I would either need to erase and sync to the new library in itunes 10, or transfer to itunes 10 library. I tried transfer and restarted itunes, but it just asked me the same questions again. It wouldnt let me create new place lists either. im scared to erase bc i have so many songs i wont remember what there all were to go back and download if it actually erases all my current songs or applications. I assumed when itunes updated to itunes 10, it would update with all my information. And although the ipod is registered in his name or however he did that, I also have sum form of account with apple/itunes because it uses my email address and my credit card during purchases for this ipod (his name is just there). i dont understand what I am suppose to do to fix this problem. These songs are still on my computer and the program where i downloaded them from but since i had to restore the whole computer, its like they are probably hidden files and arent being detected i guess. I really dont know. I have been reading and I see many ppl with the same issue. Any suggestions that wont cost me anything or a little of nuthing to resolve? I heard of Tansee Ipod Transfer but it charges you to move your files from your ipod, into a folder, to your computer, and then to be added to your itunes. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks...Lana
