Changing PC's and syncing my Ipod.

Recently I purchased a new PC and download Itunes to it.
Now can I sync my Ipod to the new PC and get my songs on my new PC?

Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

I have a 2GB IPOD with only 385 songs on it. I downloaded 2 CD's to iTunes but when I try and sync the IPOD I'm getting an error message indicating there isn't enough space. I thought a 2GB would hold at least 500 songs.

I have a 2GB IPOD with only 385 songs on it. I downloaded 2 CD's to iTunes and when I try and sync the IPOD I'm getting an error message that says I don't have enough free space. I thought a 2GB IPOD held at least 500 songs. I've even deleted songs from from iTunes library.

The figures that Apple used to use when saying how many songs coud fit onto any particular iPod were based on a 4 minute song at a Bit Rate of 128Kbps and that's the bit rate that songs sold by iTunes used to be in. However, now the iTunes Store sells songs at 256Kbps (as do many other MP3 stores) - which means that each song now uses twice as much storage space than before.
So if your songs have a bit rate of higher than 128Kbps, and/or they are all longer than four minutes each, that's why 385 songs is filling up your iPod. You can check how much space is being used when the iPod is connected to iTunes Library. Look on the Device panes for the capacity bar at the bottom of the window. How much space is being used by Music?
The solution is either:
Use iTunes to make 128Kbps versions to go onto your iPod - or,
Sync the iPod using Playlists and then choosing which Playlists you want on it. Smart Playlists may be the answer - you can set Smart Playlists up so that they automatically add and remove songs from your iPod, so that there is a constant change of songs (according to the rules you set)

Can I use a friend's computer to log in to my iTunes and sync my iPod without messing up their iTunes account?

The laptop I previously used to sync my iPod will no longer turn on. Is it possible to use a friend's computer and go on my iTunes and sync my iPod? She already has an iTunes account, so will it mess up her music and data?

Hello xNikkixx,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you have the option to manually manage your content, you will be able to add content from multiple iTunes Libraries.

What I am saying is ..........
The iPhone HAS to be active making calls on the UK carrier network for the carrier to identify as "theirs" and therefore eligible for the Carrier to unlock
The way to achieve this is to use a PAYG sim making and receiving calls to establish a customer relationship with the Carrier and then follow the Carrier's process to unlock
With a PAYG it usually means adding a specified (by the carrier ) amount usually £15 /£20 depending on the carrier
This is how O2 function and according to Gemma this is how Vodafone work

When i try and sync my IPOD Nano it says 'some of the items in the itunes library were not copied because they could not be found'. Unfortunately this is pretty much all my library! Help!

This means iTunes can no longer locate the file in the location specified via the Get Info window for each individual track. See the article for assistance.

i bought my new computer and i downloaded some new music on my computer and i had an ipod that was already synced to another computer. i just want to know how to get my pictures back when i erase and sync my ipod.

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.The iPod will then include photos taken by or saved to the iPod.
- You can also transfer them to the comouter by:
Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer
- If you synced photos synced fro the first computer yu will need a program like TouchCopoy or PhoneView to get then from the iPod to the computer. You have to do that before the restore discussed above.

My daughter will be leaving for college. Can she access our account on her computer and sync her ipod to that computer?

My daughter will be leaving for college. Can she access our account on her computer and sync her ipod to that computer?

She cannot sync to that computer unless she has access to it, or is on the same wifi subnet as it is.
I think you mean can she access your iTunes account from another computer? As long as she has your AppleID and password, she can access your accounts in iTunes so you can continue to share purchased products.
I imagine she will want her own iCloud accounts and iMessage accounts, so you and she are not sharing the same emails, contacts, messages and so forth. To do that, just have her create her own AppleID to use when creating her iCloud account and her iMessage login account. These services are completely separate from the iTunes or App store, so having different AppleIDs for purchased content and other services is fine on a device (lets your family share purchases, but keep everything else separate).

Changing itunes to manually sync to ipod

Am trying to save photos on ipod so that i can download them to my mac, but itunes keeps automatically starting up and syncing..... and wont let me press/change to 'manually' sync..so how do i change this and stop it from getting rid of all my photos on my ipod?

Connect it to your 1st computer.
Set it to Manually manage music.
Connect it to the 2nd computer.
Double click the iPod on the desktop.
Open the Photos folder and get the photos you want.

HT5622 Can you use more than one apple ID on the same computer? I can't sign in and out and sync my iPod because my library isn't on there.

My sister has an iTunes account on our main computer, and I have one on our laptop. I want to be able to sync my iPod with the main computer, but I can't because my library is on the laptop. Is there any way to sync my iPod with my library on the computer?

Yes

However you can only sync all media from one iTunes library/computer. However, one can sync music and videos with different computers/libraries if you have iTunes setup to manually sync. See that method included here:

HT1349 I have a new pc . I downloaded I tunes and signed in using my original name and passwod when I try to backup and sync my iPod touch iTunes wants to delete a items on my iPod touch! It never did that on my old pc. Old pc has broken hard drive

My old pc quit working. Got a brand new pc and downloaded iTunes to backup my iPod touch. I got a message the iTunes will delete everything off my ipodtouch. I do not want all my songs deleted or my aps. So I had to stop sync and canceled my iPods update.

Lwario-
The iPod Touch should be similar to an iPad. See if this article helps: <How to Sync an iPad With a New Computer - eHow.com>
Another article appears to go a little further: <How to Sync an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch with a new computer>.

Want to transfer data and sync my iPod touch to a new computer

I have a new computer running Windows 7 and would like to sync my iPod touch to it now instead of my older computer running Windows XP. How can I transfer all my music, playlists, album art, apps, contacts, and other settings from the old machine to the new one? I connected my iPod to the new computer after I installed iTunes on it and got a message saying this iPod was already synced to another computer. I was able to get all the songs that I have purchased on iTunes, but the bulk of my music collection is from CDs that I own. I really don't want to have to import them into iTunes all over again on the new computer. Surely there is a way to transfer everything from one computer to another. Would appreciate being pointed in the right direction.

Transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
Transfer non-iTunes purchased music by using one of the third-party programs discussed in ths previus discussion:
Best iPod to PC
- Move/copy the iPod backup from the old computer . It is located here:
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
- One you move the stuff to the new computer, restore the iPod from backup and sync.

Once I have moved my iTunes media file to my new mac, will I have to erase and sync my iPod?

I have successfully managed to move my itunes media file from my windows pc to my new mac and all is well. However, of course it hasnt copied my itunes, its just copied all the stuff in it. So information about the number of times a song has been played or any playlists have not been copied over. Can i get this information? What will happen when I plug in my iPod to sync? Will I have to erase and sync?

Thank you for your prompt response - I did as you said and did a drag and drop into the iTunes window - it imported and got my album art from the net. When I started Itunes with the shift key down I was prompted to choose a library but since I copied over the media folder and not the library folder I was unable to select that so I guess I will have to create a new library and add in all the music, videos, etc. unless I wait for my laptop and export the library or at least that seems to be the case? In short, all my data (iTunes media folder) is on my external drive and can be added to the blank iTunes screen but I can not choose a library folder. Is there anyway around completely making all those playlists again? I am not sure my laptop will survive the shop with data intact and really hate to start over on those.
In an unrelated question - I collect old TV shows from the 1950's. Can I make playlists within the home video folder somehow? In other words like one for Quiz shows, one for comedies, one for police and detective shows, etc. while I am remaking all my playlists for my music if I end up having to go that route?
Once again thank you for helping me out. I am not too Itunes savvy and really appreciate you taking the time to answer.

Deleting and syncing videos / iPod software version

Two questions:
1) I have videos downloaded through iTunes on my computer and synced on my iPod. They are taking up way too much space on my computer's hard drive, though, and I was wondering if I delete them from my iTunes Library and off my computer, will they remain on my iPod the next time I sync?
2) I have an outdated version of iPod software. How important is it to have the most current version?

No, if you delete from the library and sync then they will be deleted. You could either switch to manual managment of your iPod or you can remove the physical files from your computer while retaining the entries for them in the iTunes library. When you try to sync again iTunes will report that it cannot sync certain files as they cannot be found, but it should leave the previously synced files on your iPod. You can disable the warning if you choose. You will still be able to add new videos onto the iPod by adding them into iTunes, then syncing. You can also remove items you no longer want on the iPod by deleting their library entries. I would stress, however, that this method should be avoided if it results in the iPod containing the only copy of a particular file because the iPod could easily be lost, stolen or need restoring at some point. When (and not if!) you restore your iPod, you will lose all the files on it. For this reason a better appraoch would be to get an external drive to hold data you don't want on your main computer & sync from that.
2) I have an outdated version of iPod software. How important is it to have the most current version?
Only really matters if there's a new feature or bug fix which affects you. Since Apple don't publish a list of bug fixes it can be hard to tell. Me, I'm all for the latest version but others are more cautious. Horror tales of "the update bricked my iPod" are common enough on here, but you don't generally hear the voices of happier users so I wouldn't worry too much.
