Any problems in syncing iPod Touch with new computer?

My wife's iBook died and now I need to switch her to a newer computer. She had been syncing her iPod Touch with the old computer and she also has an iTunes account. During the down time she has been entering calendar data directly into the iPod Touch.
When I get her backup data into the new computer what kind of problems will we encounter? Will it correctly sync her calendars and contacts? Can she move or close her iTunes account from the new computer? Thanks.

Before you scrap the old one, go into iTunes and deauthorize the computer. When you get the new one set up and ready to go, go back into iTunes and authorize the new computer.
I'm not sure how you plan to transfer your library, but a portable hard drive or a big memory stick do work well. Don't forget to copy over the xml file as well as that will preserve your settings in iTunes.

    how to sync ipod touch to new computer itunes library after old itunes library lost in computer crash, without erasing ipod touch

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

  • HT1296 One Ipod touch has a different Apple ID than the rest. We are unable to sync Ipod Touch with our computer to transfer music we already purchased. How can we get this music transfered?

    How can I transfer music from our computer to an Ipod Touch with a different Apple ID?

    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and tap the Apple ID listed and sign out and sign in with other ID
    You also may want to go to other places like:
    - Settings>iCloud
    - Settinge>FaceTime
    - Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and change the ID
    It may be best to go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings and start over again and set up the iPod again with his account/ID

  • Issue with syncing iPod touch with new laptop

    Hi, I am asking on behalf of my brother (who is very frustrated) about why his windows laptop is not syncing properly with his iPod touch 4th gen. He claims to have authorized the machine with his iTunes account but every time he syncs the iPod with the laptop, it demands that he delete all of his music and resync it. So he does as it asks and when he plugs it in again later, iTunes wants him to delete everything. He does have his device authorized with a few other computers. Could he solve his problem by deauthorizing them since he never plans to use them again? Thanks for any and all help.

    To not lose anything do the following:

    The computer has to be authorized for his iTunes account. Since you can on have five computer authorized, he should deauthorize any unnecessary computer.

  • Can't sync g2 ipod touch with new computer (windows7)

    My original computer died and was unrepairable. I am trying to authorize my new computer (windows 7) to sync with my g2 ipod touch. I can sync apps, but it won't allow me to sync anything else - it keeps wanting to delete the contents of my ipod in order to sync.
    When I plug my ipod into the computer, it won't read anything off of the ipod.  What do I do?
    I DO have a file with my music backed up on it on an external hd, but I can't seem to repopulate my library with it. I've tried dragging the folder onto the itunes folder (something that usually works with other files) but it's not doing anything.
    I hope someone can help.
    p.s. A g1 ipod shuffle that I plugged in worked fine. Computer asked me if I wanted to make this computer an authorized one, I answered the questions and it was done. No problems. My g2 ipod won't do the same thing.

    With iTunes, syncing music, video and audiobooks is one way, computer-->iPod.
    You need to move your iTunes library to the new computer from the old one, or use another method to get the data off the iPod.

  • Syncing iPod Touch to new computer, preserving app data

    I have a 2G iPod Touch that I'm currently syncing with iTunes 10.4 on my G5 tower. I have a MacBook Pro that I currently sync my iPad 2 with. I'd like to start syncing my iPod with my MacBook, without losing all my app data.
    When I connect my iPod to the MacBook, it gives me the "This iPod is already synced with another iTunes library" and offers to wipe it. The music and apps themselves I already have on the MacBook, so it doesn't matter, but I don't want to lose all my app data.
    I've moved the iPod backup from ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync on my G5 to the same place on my MacBook. It still won't sync. I can restore from this backup, but it still has the same problem. I've found information on how to change my iTunes library ID to match my old computer, but if I do that then my iPad will stop syncing!
    I've been banging my head against the wall for hours now, with no progress. Is there any way to accomplish this? I'm running out of ideas... the last thing i can think of would be somehow editing the library ID in the ipod backup to match the MacBook's, but I haven't found any way to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I already have all my music and apps and playlists from the old computer on the new one. However, the library ID is different from the old one, which means the iPod won't sync with it. I can't change the library ID in iTunes, because I'm already syncing my iPad with it; if I changed it to match the G5's library ID, the iPod would sync, but the iPad would stop syncing.
    I copied the iPod backup from the G5 over to the MacBook, in the hopes restoring from that would somehow help; it doesn't. Once restored, the iPod still remembers the old library ID, so won't sync with the MacBook.

  • Reading in Ipod touch with new computer

    I got a new computer and I tried to plug in my ipod and it didn;t read it in. I've searched online and have done mulitple things like delete over 1000 pictures for space to update it, restart my apple mobile device on my new laptop, and etc. But then I read I needed to change the setting from auto sync to manual but I don't know how. And this computer is obviously not the pc owner of my ipod touch. Please Help

    Did you do everything here:

  • Old Computer broke, trying to sync ipod touch to new computer

    The old laptop I had my new IPod Touch synced to died, so I bought a new Laptop, but ITunes won't allow me to sync to it. It only gives me the option to "Eject", and won't allow me to put any of the new music I have downloaded for my new laptop.
    How to I take away a sync for a old laptop (which does not work) to allow it to sync to a new computer.

    Where is your back up?
    This is precisely why it is basic to maintain a back up?
    The ipod touch is NOT a back up.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.
    You can transfer itunes purchases : File>Transfer Purchases
    You can do a forum search as this is asked and answered quite often.

  • Syncing iPod Touch (with new update) to iTunes.

    For some reason, my iPod won't sync with iTunes. I'm not sure what has the problem but iTunes is saying I don't have the right driver disk or anything and it will sync for hours on end, not working.
    What could be happening?!

    If that Article does not resolve it... then you have a problem.
    Perhaps a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required..
    Be sure to make an appointment first...
    Note:
    That error message may be indicative of the Device being Hacked / jailbroken.... If this is the case then you are on your own.

  • How to sync ipod touch to new computer without loosing old songs?

    plzz tell me how to do it??

    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 iPod but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPod with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

    how do i sync my ipod touch with my computer without erasing all of the music already on the ipod

    Sanmannyer, just what are you smoking? iTunes can sync non-iTunes purchased music to any iPod and iOS devices (iPod touch, iPhone and iPad) as long as it is not DRM protected.
    Would y plase stop posting incorrect information.

    I can no longer sync my touch with my computer.  I'm being told that "the sync server failed to sync the iPod."

    Are you sure that these times are still selected to sync in iTunes?
    When you connect your iPad to your PC and with iTunes running, select your iPad under the devices button in the upper right corner of the iTunes window. Then click on the Movies tab and make sure that the movies are selected (checked) to sync. Check the playlists in the Music tab as well.

    i purchased songs via my ipod touch.  when I sync'd my ipod touch with my computer, the songs I purchased disappeared into a black hole... how do I get them back without having to repurchase? 

    On your iPod Touch, open the iTunes app. There should be tab named "purchased", which shows all your purchase history. Choose the "Not on this iPod" tab and you'll get a list of purchased products that are not on your device. Hope this helped.
