Cannot sync ipod to itunes on new computer because it doesnt recognize apps

any help??

- An iPod can only sync to one computer.  Yu can swithced computers.
- You need to get all the stuff on the new computer first.  This includes app and Music.
- After the stuff is the new computer.  Make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Backup.
- Restore the iPod from that backup. Then sync as necessary

  • Problem syncing ipod and itunes on new computer

    I just got a MacBook Pro from my dad. I plugged my iPod into the new computer and replaced his library on the computer with mine. Now, every time I purchase new songs on iTunes on the computer and then sync my iPod, the purchased songs don't sync on the iPod. It says it's syncing, but the new songs aren't on the ipod. I also have my entire iTunes library still on my old PC (which I still have). What do I need to do to ensure my library is up to date on my MacBook and that the newly purchased songs (on the mac) will sync to my iPod?

    Hi!
    It sounds like the songs might have been purchased under your dad's account and therefore won't sync to your library. The iTunes application itself can have many different users, each having their own account. If you have your own home drive and set up your library there, but opened iTunes with your Dad's account set up, the application would not have known to change users on its own.
    I would double check to see under whose account the songs were purchased.

  • Cannot sync ipod with itunes after setting up new computer with newest version of itunes

    Cannot sync ipod with itunes after setting up on new computer, only songs which tansferred were songs bought on new computer after set up, tried to sync songs and it deleted old songs from ipod.  How can I get them back on ipod??  They are showing in music library on itunes still.

    If the iPod database gets corrupted, it will add files to "Other" instead of where they really belong.
    Restoring the iPod will erase this database and recreate it.
    And if I do this, won't I just have the same issue when my iPod is re-updated to the most recent version again?
    No, it shouldn't. This is why you Restore the iPod. It erases the corrupt database.

  • How do i sync my ipad to my new computer without losing all the apps on the ipad

    how do i sync my ipad to my new computer without losing all my apps that are on the ipad

    This should be a pretty good guide for setting up the iPad with a new computer and for keeping your content.
    Don't forget to authorize the new computer as well. Launch iTunes and go to Store>Authorize this Computer.
    This is the original thread.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527201#11527201
    1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
    Make sure that you move your iTunes library from the old computer to the new one as well for all of your music.
    Here is an article that can help you with that.

  • Sync iPod Touch with entirely new media library BUT RETAIN existing apps

    Hi fellows. I'm creating a new media library where all the music, etc, are properly tagged/organized/album art embedded. I'm currently sync-ing my iPod Touch to my existing library, which is quite messed up, i.e. no album art, crappy tagging, etc.
    When I'm eventually done with the new library, I will like my iPod Touch to sync to that library but, my Touch has many AppStore apps (linked with the current library) & I will like to keep them (along with whatever data the apps are storing as well).
    I'm concerned if I sync my Touch to the new, nicely-done library, all the apps will be wiped, i.e. I haven't downloaded all the many apps onto the new library, currently it's just music. I do not mind the music on the Touch being wiped as a result of sync-ing with the new library (I actually want that, i.e. remove all the crappily-tagged music & grab all the nicely-tagged versions from the new library into the Touch), but I want the apps on my Touch to remain untouched/un-moved/not reloaded.
    Is my requirement possible? I was hoping when I sync my Touch to the new library it'll ask me to "Transfer Purchases" from the Touch to the library (which is the best scenario), but I'm *afraid afterwards it'll reload all the apps* on my Touch and all the application data stored within each apps, will be wiped. Any experience/advice?

  • Cannot sync my ipod to itunes on new computer - not enough privilege

    I purchased brand new HP desktop (model M8517C) has Intel quad core processor @ 2.4ghz with 5 gb RAM. Tried to sync ipod to this new computer and worked partly for the first time and since it is not working. During the part syncing it deleted all previous data and now does not sync atall.
    Error "The iPod "my name - xxx" cannot by synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation.
    The current computer has only one log in account and so it does have administrator privileges and all privileges. I tried everything that I could think of wasting several hrs but it will not sync.
    I have obviously installed the latest version of the iTunes software. The ipod is 60 GB model from few yrs ago and I dont have any warranty.
    Will appreciate any help.

    Are you using the latest downloaded version of iTunes from Apple.com, instead of a version that came on disc with the iPod? According to this article, Windows Vista 64-bit required iTunes 7.6 or later
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1426
    Also, make sure you got the version of iTunes 8 for Windows Vista 64-bit

  • HT1399 sync music from ipod to itunes on new computer

    I have a new computer and I want to import my music off my ipod onto my itunes.  I have already set it up to not sync automatically and I have transferred my purchased music.  My computer won't show me any of the files on my ipod so how do I get them into itunes?  Do I have to load all of them again?  My previous computer didn't have Cloud so my Ipod is my backup.
    Thank you,
    Tonya

    Hi Tonya,
    ... my Ipod is my backup.
    The iPod is not intended to be a backup device. You should move your music from your old computer to the new one, but you can also use "manually manage music" and use the iPod to do it.
    The following two KB articles explain each procedure, respectively:

  • Syncing ipod/iphone to a new computer

    I recently purchased a new Macbook pro and came here to find out how to sync my iPod touch to it without losing everything and really didn't find much. I managed to do it correctly and thought it might help others if I posted a how to.
    1. Start iTunes on your new computer and log in, be sure to 'authorize' it when prompted.
    2. Attach ipod/iphone via USB cable and transfer all Purchased content to the new computer from the ipod/iphone. (in the 'File' menu on the bar at top of screen). This transfers all music, Apps, iBooks, games, etc that you have downloaded through iTunes.
    3. Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes for both computers (you need to have WiFi or manually connect them). When your 'old' library shows up on your new computer click on it, then change the option in the bottom left corner to 'show only content I don't have' (or something close to that). Choose 'select all' from the 'Edit' menu or manually select, and drag the content to the 'Music' section in the iTunes menu to the left (you only have to get the box around that area to turn blue, it will begin to transfer automatically.
    4. Check to make sure everything you want/had is now on your new computer. Turn 'on' syncing for each section (Music, Apps, etc) and adjust the settings as necessary, then sync to your new computer. Yes, this will wipe your ipod/iphone, return it to it's 'basic' program and then reload everything. BUT:
    The only things that didn't transfer when I did this were old Apps that I had 'unchecked' so they weren't on my iPod anyway, if you want them all make sure they're all 'checked'. All my notes in three different note apps were transferred, the progress of all my games transferred, the bookmarks, etc in all my books transferred, my Kindle and B&N eReader books transferred. Even the photos I had on my ipod remained, although you will have to transfer them to your new computer (from the old one) if you want to keep them and be able to add new ones.
    The only thing that was 'lost' was the arrangement of my apps and the folders I had created with purchased apps (because they were all erased and then reloaded).
    I hope this helps, and lessens the scariness of that warning you get when first syncing to a new computer.

    this helped soo much thank you!

  • When syncing iphone to itunes on new computer, what is erased? Are texts and contacts erased?

    I got a new computer and am trying to sync my iphone to it. 
    I get the message "..this will erase your iphone..."  What is earsed?  I want to think only the itunes related things (apps, music, videos, etc.)
    Are photos erased as well?
    Thank you!

    All content will be removed.
    You can get Phoneview from http://ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/ which will allow you to move the iPhone content to the computer.
    To prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - hold down the 'option' and the 'command' keys when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - key the keys down until the iPod/iPhone is listed under the Devices list in iTunes - this will prevent a sync from taking place and you will be able to change your settings.

  • Music from ipod to itunes on new computer

    I recently had to get a new computer due to my old computer dieing on me unexpectedly. Ive got about 400-500 songs/videos on my Ipod and I want to put those songs onto this new computer in the new itunes I just installed. How can I transfer the music on my ipod to my new computer? Not all of the music/videos on my ipod are purchased, so I cannot just do the Transfer Purchases thing.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and was written long before iTunes 7 so it requires a little adaptation, also it won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

  • Sync ipod nano with a new computer

    My hard drive in my MacBook crashed and I now have a new computer. I am trying to sync my ipod nano with iTunes but i get a message stating that the content on my ipod will be replaced with the songs and playlists from my iTunes library (which is nothing). I want to get all my songs, playlists, from my ipod onto my computer. Help!!!

    See if there are instructions for what you want to do in the iPod nano (5th generation) - User Guide, check Knowledge Base, iPod Nano Support or call U.S. iPod and Mac technical support: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273).

  • Moving Data from iPod to iTunes on new computer

    Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have a new computer and I am trying to upload the songs from my iPod to the iTunes on the new computer. I do not have the old computer to transfer from the old iTunes to the new iTunes. Is it possible to use the iPod to transfer the song files?

    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.

  • Connecting ipod to itunes on new computer

    My old computer died on me and I cannot access the information on the hard drive. I've downloaded itunes onto my new computer and thought that I could transfer all the songs from my ipod to my new computer. When I connected the ipod it said that the ipod was connected to another library (on my old computer) and do I want to replace all the songs with the ones in this library (i.e. no songs). I obviously don't want to erase all my songs so I say no, at which point all the songs become inaccessable.
    I've had my ipod for over a year and have lost the cd that came with it.
    Could anyone tell me how I link my ipod to my new library and get all the songs onto my new computer?

    Tom, use either of the options in this post to copy your music from the iPod to the PC. In my opinion, iPod Agent is the easiest way to do this. There is a trial version available, I believe. Note that you'll also need Microsoft .Net framework installed on your computer, but it's free from Windows Update if you don't have it.
