Connecting iPod Classic to new computer

I recently changed computers and want to set up my iPod on the new one. The last time I changed computers, I lost all of my iPod contents. Is there a secret to setting up a new computer and being able to sync my iPod to that new computer without a loss of contents?

  • Connecting ipod classic to new iPad (4th generation)?

    Which adapter connects older ipod classic to new iPad (4th generation)?

    The "connection" for the iPod needs to go through iTunes on a computer.  You cannot connect your iPod directly to an iPad. 
    So (for example), if your intent is to transfer songs from iPad to iPod, you need to use the copy of the songs that are on the computer and use iTunes to sync them to the iPod.  If you can't do that because you bought the songs on the iPad from the iTunes Store, you can use the Purchased screen in iTunes (on the computer) to re-download them (at no cost) into your iTunes library.  The link to Purchased is on the iTunes Store Home screen, to the right, under QUICK LINKS.
    You can then sync those songs to the iPod.

  • Transferring music from ipod classic to new computer

    Hi, can anyone help?
    My last computer became corrupted and unusable and I am left only with my ipod of music, which I would like to transfer to a new computer, however, it will not synch with the new one as it is says my ipod is already synched with another computer (my old one!). I have contacted apple and they have sent me information, but you need to make adjustments on the old computer (which no longer exists)to transfer the files. Is there a way of transferring the music from the ipod to my new computer, without using my old computer?
    Thanks...

    OK, I had to restore my laptop to factory-settings, and so lost all my music in iTunes. Still have my music on my iPod, but obviously can't syncronise it as I'd lose all the music on there.
    I have tried a couple of software packages (ipod2computer & Tune Tools), but neither of them seem to work (one keeps asking me to put in my credit card details again and the other just hangs or saying it hs updating data, but after a few hours nothing happens). Really looking for help or recommendations in transfering music files from my ipod or software that can enable this.
    Many thaanks for any assistance

  • Connecting ipod to a new computer

    My laptop just quit working on me and I really don't want to have to add all my songs into this new computer. If I just hooked up my iPod to this new computer will all my songs show up in my new iTunes Library?
    Thanks!

  • Connecting iPod Classic to New PC.

    Hi all, I've got a question.
    I have the iPod Classic, and I was using iTunes on another laptop (My old one which has now broken) and I wish to install iTunes on to this new Laptop that I have. My concern was, because I have used my iPod classic before and has music that was loaded by a previous computer, will I have to reformat my iPod in order to put music on it from my new laptop?
    I ask because in the past when I have charged a neighbours iPod via my PC, its asked me to reformat my Neighbours iPod....
    I guess my concern is, I wont be able to load any new music to my iPod if iTunes recognizes that its been used by a previous PC.

    I too am interested in doing this. I have switched everything from my PC to a laptop, except the iTunes. I want to make sure I know how to get all my music from the iPod to this laptop for future synching of new music without losing any of the music already on the iPod. Someone please help us. Thanks!

  • CAN I CONNECT MY IPOD CLASSIC TO ANY COMPUTER AND UPDATE ANY MUSIC THAT I HAVE PURCHASED FROM ITUNES ON MY IPAD?

    CAN I CONNECT MY IPOD CLASSIC TO ANY COMPUTER AND UPDATE ANY MUSIC THAT I HAVE PURCHASED FROM ITUNES ON MY IPAD?

    Plug the iPod into the new computer.  When it pops up on the left sidebar, right-click on the iPod and select "Transfer Purchases".  Make sure that you Authorize the computer to play content purchased with that account, or else the music will not play.

  • I am trying to put the music from my ipod onto my new computer. After installing itunes and connecting my ipod touch a message comes up saying that my ipod is already synced with another library. What can I do to sync it with a new library?

    I recently got a new computer and got rid of my old one. I am trying to put the music from my ipod touch onto my new computer but keep getting a message saying that my ipod is already synced with a library and cannot be synced with more than one. How do I access that library on my new computer and if I can't are their other ways for me to put the music on my ipod into my new computer?

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your iPod for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.

    It doesn't quite work that way. Transfer your music from the old computer to the new one. Then, sync the iPod.

  • I connected my iPod to a new computer, but somehow lost most of my music in the transfer.  How do I get it back?

    I connected my iPod to a new computer and transferred the files, but somehow I lost most of them in the process.  How do I recover these files and transfer them to the new computer?

    If these files you lost from your iPod Touch are no longer in an accessible iTunes library or backed up somewhere else, I'm afraid you are out of luck. There are expensive data recovery solutions out there, but I'm positive if they will work with an iPod's hard drive.
    You should be able to redownload most iTunes purchases via iCloud. For music imported from outside of iTunes such as downloads from another music store, or tracks ripped from CDs, you'll need to either rerip them into iTunes or redownload them from their original source if possible.

  • How do I sync ipod classic to new windows 8 computer?

    I want to sync my ipod classic to a new laptop, operating on Windows 8. My existing itunes account is on my old, very slow desktop computer. On there, is my current music library.
    1) Please could someone tell me, how to sync my ipod to my new computer, in simple terms if at all possible!
    2) If I manage this, can I copy my itunes music library to my new computer?
    Thank you in anticipation!

    You need to copy your entire iTunes folder to the new computer from the old one. Otherwise you could lose some of your content.

    It sounds like Windows can see your devices, but iTunes is not seeing them. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article named:
