Can I sync my iPod Touch to my Library to update the Library....

Sorry if the title is confusing... I've experienced the dreaded HD failure and regrettably haven't backed up via Time Machine in well over a month... I am missing several Movies, Videos and about 80 songs from my Library that are all in my Touch still...
Is it possible to plug in the Touch and have it update the Library, instead of vice versa... (which is the typical sync)...
Thanks in advance for any input or advice...

anyone...?

    Question: I have a computer at home and one at work. Can I update my iPod music collection from more than one computer?
    Answer: Yes. When you first connect iPod to your computer, iPod recognizes that computer as its "home" computer. Each time you connect, iPod automatically downloads the music library stored on it. When you connect iPod to a different computer, iTunes will inform you that iPod is linked to a different iTunes library and will ask whether you wish to erase iPod's contents and sync with the new computer's library. If you will be connecting to multiple computers frequently, configure your iPod to manually manage music. This will allow you to selectively drag songs, albums, or playlists from the second computer to your iPod without compromising the existing music.
    Synchronization generally occurs only in one direction, from your computer to your iPod. This means you typically cannot transfer music, automatically or manually, from your iPod to a computer, and you cannot use iPod to copy a music library from one computer to another. An exception to this is the transfer purchases feature which allows you to restore purchased iTunes content to your computer from your iPod. Additionally, if you legally are allowed to copy music or other media files, you can configure your iPod as a storage drive to move media files.

  • Can I sync an ipod touch and an ipad separately to the same laptop

    I have an ipod touch and an ipad. Can I sync them to my computer so that each remains independant of the other. When I first attached the ipad to my computer the option to start as a new ipad or sync from my ipod's content were available. I did neither and just ejected the ipad. I guess my question is: if I choose to start as a new ipad will it wipe out the data from my ipod touch or will it create a new backup?

    I have three iDevices that I sync to one iTunes library and each device has its own unique content.
    If you are Windows - launch iTunes and go to Edit>Prefernces>Devices. Check the box at the bottom that says - Prevent iPods, iPhones, etc. ... From syncing automatically, click ok. Quit iTunes.
    Connect either of your devices to your computer and launch iTunes again. Click on the device name on the left side under the devices heading, now go into each and every tab of iTunes and select the content that you want to sync to that particular device. When you are done, click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes. iTunes will remember what you selected for that device the next time that you sync,
    Eject your device, connect the other one and do the same thing. If you want -- turn auto sync back on using the procedure outlined above.

    The other responder gave you a program that will transfer stuff from your iPod to your new computer.  You can transfer iTunes purchaces to your new computer by:

    After you move your stuff to your new computer you will have to let iTunes erase your iPod and then sync with the stuff that is now in your iTunes library.  You will loose app data though.

    It recognises that its my ipod and says sync completed but there is no music or content on the ipod from my itunes library.

    Can I sync my iPod Touch with my older iPod Nano without a computer?

    Keep in mind that you can't drag and drop (transfer) songs from one iPod to another using iTunes either.  The music you want to add from one iPod to the other, must be stored in your iTunes library first.

    You can transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    Most other stuff by the third-party programs discussed here:
    Best iPod to PC
    However, your app data such as saved games will be lost unless you have a backup file from your old computer.

  • Whenever I try to sync my ipod touch, it doesn't work.  The computer seems to get hung.  What could be happening?

    Whenever I try to sync my ipod touch, it doesn't work.  The computer seems to get hung during the back up stage.  It says it is backing up the ipod but nothing happens, for hours.  I eventually have to interrupt it and give up.

    I have the latest itunes.
    I tried resetting sync history.
    For this section:
    If the issue persists, and you know all your contacts, calendars, bookmarks and notes are on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
    Remove all of the contact and calendar information from Outlook.
    Select the device in iTunes and click the Info tab.
    Scroll down to the Advanced section, and under "Replace information on this iPhone/iPad/iPod touch" make sure Contacts and Calendars are not selected.
    Click Apply.
    This doesn't seem to make sense for my situation.  I don't sync anything between outlook and my ipod touch. 
    I have no other USB devices connected to my computer.
    I have no other Windows users on my computer - only me and I am the administrator.  However on my diagnostic, it said this user is not the administrator.  Weird.
    So I have tried to follow that you referred me to, but still I haven't got it working yet.  Do you have any further suggestions?

  • I have the iPod touch 3g, and I've updated the version to 4.2, is that the most recent version i can get?

    When I try to buy newer apps in the store, it says to update my iPod to a newer version; 4.3 etc. But whenever I connect to iTunes, it says that 4.2.7 is the most recent current iOS. Is 4.2.7 the highest version my iPod can get?

    Are you sure you really do not have a 2G iPod? Those can only go to 4.2.1
