Can I sync my ipod to my computer if it hasnt been synced before without losing everything?

I want to sync my ipod because its disabled but i dont want to lose everything.

No, you have to erase the iPod. You can restore from your last backup
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

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.

  • I have a library on my Ipod Classic and a different one on iTunes.  How can I sync both without losing any files?

    I think I may have deleted the original library a while back.  Since then, I have been collecting new files.  Now that I sat down to sync, I am unable to load new files at all.  Is there maybe a way to upload library on ipod into itunes library and then reload all back onto ipod?
    I don't want to lose any of it! Help!

    You'll want to extract all the content that is currently on the iPod and copy it back over into your new iTunes library.  Once you have successfully done that, you can go ahead and restore your iPod to factory settings and then sync away as restoring the iPod will allow it to sync with the new iTunes library.

  • How can I reformat my iPhone from my old PC to my new MacBook Air, without losing everything?

    I just got my first Mac, and now I need to reformat my iPhone.  I don't want to lose all of my content.  My PC iTunes account uses the sample Apple ID as my MAC, so is it just as simple as plugging it into my Mac?

  • Can i charge my ipod on any computer?

    I need to charge my ipod, i dont have the charger with me and i am away from my computer. I do have the UBS cable, can i charge the ipod on any computer with a UBS port or does it need to be the one its registered on?

    As long as the computer has the port that your iPod supports (USB and/or FireWire), and as long as the computer doesn't have iTunes (or if it has iTunes, when it detects your iPod, don't choose to automatically update it - otherwise, all the songs on your iPod will be replaced by whatever's in that computer's iTunes), you should be good.

    Your phone is in recovery mode.  All data on it are already lost.  You must connect your phone to your computer and restore through iTunes.

  • IPhone that was stolen was returned but disabled for a long time! My computer is broken so I can't back it up or restore it. What can I do without losing everything on it!

    So my iPhone that was stolen is disabled for 22,237,796 minutes and counting down. My computer with all my backup information is down so I can't restore it without losing everything on it. I really don't want to lose everything on my phone and I really don't want to wait that long. Is there anything I can do? Please help! ;(

    The only options are:
    Wait it out.
    Sync the device to the computer it normally syncs with to remove the passcode.
    Restore from backup or as new.
    Without access to the computer it normally syncs with, your only real option is restore as new.
    Keep in mind, pictures can be copied off the device on any computer regardless of the device being locked or not.

    If your phone is jailbroken, we can't help you, as already stated.
    If you're new to this and you're trying to download apps to put on your phone and it is NOT jailbroken, you can't do that.
    You must go through the iTunes app store.
