Can't sync my iPod with replacement computer.

The mother board on my computer crashed, so I got another computer, second hand.  The original owner also had an itunes account.  When I plug in my iPod, I get a message that it is synced with a different library.  The music list shows all my music, but I think also the music of the last user.  I can't get updates on my apps and other purchases.  Any suggestions??  Thanks in advance!!  JTJ   (Windows 7)

What files did you move around so this replacement PC is showing your music?  Or is it only showing your music when your iPod is plugged in?
itunes is like other PC programs - when you get a different PC, you need to move files & settings over from the old PC. Such as browser bookmarks, email settings & contacts, digital photos....all of it.

    No, it's impossible as your iTunes Library containing your new music is on your computer, which you don't have access to.

  • I just can't sync my ipod with my computer

    i just bought another ubs connecter to  sync my ipod. for some reason it is not allowing to sync?

    Why not? What happens when you try?  Is your iPod not recognized by iTunes?  If so, have you worked through each and every troubleshooting suggestion in this Apple support document?

    You can sync as many ipods/iphone/ipad as you like with one computer.
    Open itunes, connect device, select what you want to sync, sync, disconnect device.

  • I recently restored my computer and now I can not sync my ipod to my computer - the error says "my ipod is synced with anothers itunes libary"

    I can not sync my ipod to my computer - the error message says " my ipod is synced with another itnes libary"

    Re-installing the OS on your PC has caused your iPod to think it is now syncing with a new/different iTunes library. An iPod can only be synced with one computer/iTunes library at a time. If you try to sync the iPod with a different/new iTunes library it will erase the contents the iPod and replace them with what is in the new library.

  • HT1386 How many different computers can I sync my iPod with?  My laptop crashed and was completely wiped clean and this was the machine that my iPod synced with so I don't know if it will be counted as a "new" computer.

    How many different computers can I sync my iPod with?  My laptop crashed and was completely wiped clean and this was the machine that my iPod synced with so I don't know if it will be counted as a "new" computer when I sync my iPod.

    You can sync with onee at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

    how can i sync my iPod with new iTunes on new computer without losing my old library? There is no backup iTunes/iPod files available.

    If you connect your ipod to your computer then look in the hidden folder labeled "iPod_Control" . (This is on a Mac version, but i think it's the same for Windows) and in "Music" is all your music mixed up in different folders. Just drag the MUSIC folder onto itunes then BAM! It's done ;D

    Hi kimcinma!
    Your previous purchases are saved on iCloud even if you bought them on another computer. If you can't find them on your current computer, you might need to unhide them. Go to iTunes preferences, and click on Store Preferences. Then click the box for "show iTunes in the Cloud purchases". Then click on OK, and everything you've ever bought from iTunes on that Apple ID will show up in your library. You will need to download them from iCloud first before you can synch them to your iPod Classic. To do this, click on the little cloud with the arrow in it next to your song, and it will download to your computer. When you have the music that you want downloaded, plug in your iPod and synch away. Hope this helps!

  • HT1351 Can I sync my iPod with my friends library legally?

    I want to listen to my friends music, but I am not interested in breaking the law or circumventing anything.  Can she share her music with me legally by allowing me to sync my iPod with her computer for a time?  I am ok with it erasing my content.  When I sync back to my account it will erase her content then.  Is this acceptable?

    No, you cannot.
    It is not legal to give music that you purchase to others.
    your friend has only purchased the right to use the music for his/her own personal use.

  • If i sync my ipod with another computer to get more music on it. Will it erase all my apps, app data, and pictures?

    If i sync my ipod with another computer to get more music on it. Will it erase all my apps, app data, and pictures?

    All synced media that is not already in the iTunes library on the second computer will be erased. This second computer will be your syncing computer
    You can only sync with one computer/iTunes library.
