Computer died, need to transfer nano to another pc

The computer my wifes ipod nano was authorized to died. How do I authorize it to a new pc (I can not get back on the old pc to deauthorize it). She also has all of our cds she ripped onto it with playlists set up, is there a way she can transfer this on to the new pc she will have her Ipod on?

You can use the backup you made on your old computer of your iTunes folder.
Don't have one? Make sure on the new computer you purchase an external drive and back up.
In the meantime try http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/home/ or use Google to find other 3rd party solutions.

  • Computer died need to transfer music

    My computer fried the only music I have is the music on my iPod I have a iPod nano (second generation) is there a way for me to move my music from my iPod to my new computer. Please I don't want to lose all of my music!

    1). Connect your iPod to your new computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    3). Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
    5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • I need to transfer music from another itunes library to my current. my last computer crashed and i do not want to lose all of the music stored on my nano. Please help!

    I need to transfer music from another itunes library. My last compter hard drive failed. I have several hours of songs and I don't want to lose these. Is there a way to transfer music from another libray to current? I have recovered the purchased music but would like to transfer other. I have a mini without a disc drive so it makes loading the same music difficult. Please help.

    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • I purchased an app on my computer and need to transfer to new IPad, how do I do that?

    I purchased an app on my computer and need to transfer to new IPAD, how do I do that?

    Yes - sync it with iTunes. You can also drag the App form the App section of iTunes to the iPad/iPhone once connected to your iTunes - this will force a sync.
    You can also set Automatic Downloads on your iTunes on your mac and also on your phone/iPad. This will mean when you buy anything anywhere it will also download for the other places. I find it really handy.

  • If I have lion installed on one computer, how do I transfer it to another without having to download it? My net is to slow to redownload it. I searched for lion os x.app in finder and couldn't find it.

    If I have lion installed on one computer, how do I transfer it to another without having to download it? My net is to slow to redownload it. I searched for lion os x.app in finder and couldn't find it.

    Downloading Lion from the Mac App Store didn't put the Lion OS on your computer. It put an application package called Install Mac OS X Lion on your computer; specifically, in your Applications folder.
    If you install from the Install Mac OS X Lion application package inside your Applications folder, the application package (the installer) will be deleted once the installation is complete. You must copy the installer to another location or to another drive/media before you run it to upgrade to Lion - if you didn't do that, then you have to download it again.
    If you did copy the installer, then you can just copy it over to any other Mac you own which meets Lion's minimum system requirements and run it again to upgrade those other Macs to Lion.

  • My computer died and I had to buy another one.  Now I can't sync my ipod classic.  What is the deal with this?  I added songs about three months ago and it was fine.  Now it won't sync.  It says it has a duplicate file.

  • Old computer died, need iPod music on new laptop

    My old computer died before I could make files and transfer library. How do I get my music from my iPod to my new laptop? I need help!!

    Hello kris10new,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link after the Apple support document below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
    Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
    Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

  • Purchased iTunes on my home computer but need to burn CD at another locale

    Can I do this? When I log in to my iTunes account, it only pulls up music that I've purchased on this computer and none that I've purchased at home.
    Do I need to purchase it all a second time on this computer as well, in order to burn my CD here?

    I'm a bit unclear as to the specifics of what you're doing. When you buy music it is downloaded to the computer. It isn't in your online itunes account. If you buy music on one computer and want to burn it on another computer you have to transfer the music files to the second computer. The other issue you may encounter is if you purchased the files back when most music was sold with DRM protection you will also have to validate the second computer so it will read those files.

  • I upgraded my Iphone, but now I can't connect it to itunes because it is not upgraded. However, when I want to upgraded, it says that my computer (imac)  needs to be upgraded to another version. I can't find anything to help me out.

    I upgraded my Iphone to IOS6, but now I can't connect it to itunes (10.6.3) because it is not upgraded. However, when I want to upgraded, it says that my computer (imac Mac OS 10.5.8)  needs to be upgraded to another version. I can't find anything to help me out.

    You need iTunes 10.7 or later.
    To get this, you need Mac OS 10.6.8 or later.

  • My old computer died and I have just bought another...

    My old computer died and I have just purchased a new one.  I have been trying to sync all of my apple devices to the new computer, but I am concerned with the error message I am getting.  It says:
    "The IPhone "XXXX Iphone" is synced with another Itunes library on "XXXXX-PC".  Do you want to erase this IPhone and sync with this ITunes library?"
    "An IPhone can be synced with only one ITUNES library at a time.  Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this IPhone with the contents of the ITunes library." 
    I don't want to lose any of the data on my IPhone, my IPad, the kids IPod Touches, etc...  How can I make this computer my new PC for my ITunes library without losing all of my info?  There has to be a way as I can't believe you have to lose all of your devices information, pics, videos just because your home computer has to be replaced.  Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you very much!

  • Old computer died need to put itunes on new one

    old computer died have no access to it need to put my old itunes on new laptop

    See this User Tip for an alternative approach.
    Use SyncToy to create a clone of your library on an external hard drive.
    Connect the drive to the new computer, install SyncToy again and use the Sync option to copy the library in the other direction.
    (ideally before installing iTunes so you don't have to remove an empty library or run the risk of it corrupting your backup.)
    Update the backup periodically to guard against disaster in the future.

  • Iphone and computer died, need to get the files from hard drive

    Iphone and computer died at the same time, my hard drive on the computer is ok, i did a external connection of my hard drive to my laptop, my iphone was backed up on itunes on the computer which are on the hard drive, how do i extract contacts and other files from the hard drive thanks

    If the old drive is not accessible then, no, you will not be able to access all your files on it. In this case you may need to look at the following:
    Basics of File Recovery
    Files in Trash
    If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
    If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten with recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
