Connecting my pc ipod to my new macbook

In a normal case, a Mac computer can read an iPod previously formatted on a PC. (I do not have a MacBook Pro,but I believe it should be able to recognize your iPod too). There is currently no songs on the iTunes on your MacBook, so if you do an update between iPod and iTunes on your MacBook, all your songs on your iPod will get erased completely and replace with an empty library.
So read this and install a 3rd party software e.g. Senuti to copy all the songs from your iPod to your MacBook, if your iPod can be read by this software.

    i-devices are intended to by synced with iTunes (iTunes --> device), not transfer things to iTunes.  For transferring songs from i-device to computer see commercial software utilities (with the exception of iTunes purchases).

    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the Mac as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your Mac first.
    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.

  • Will I lose my Calendar and Addresses if I sync my iPod with a new macbook?

    I just had to get a new hard disk and want to put my Cal and Addresses back on it. I can find lots of information about transferring my photos and music, but will I lose my Calendar and Addresses if I sync my iPod with a new macbook?

    Before you sync, make at least one entry in your computer's Address Book and one iCal event (a fake entry will do). That will generate a "merge" prompt. Otherwise, the empty address book and calendar will overwrite what you have on your iPod.

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • Transfer everything from my ipod to my new macbook

    How do i transfer everything thats on my ipod to my new macbook? since i dont want my ipod to be on my pc, i want it to be on my new macbook, i hope that didnt sound confusing :P

    If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7 A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there's a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to your Mac at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    If you prefer something more automated there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others as well, they are generally quite straightforward.

  • Current Gen 2 iPod Touch on new Macbook Pro - will restore work?

    I backed up my ipod touch on the new macbook pro computer (right clicked on my ipod on the left nav in iTunes).
    I want to (1) update my ipod touch from 3.1.2 to the new 4.2 OS and (2) use my new macbook pro from this point forward.
    My question, if I do a restore and select the backup, will all my apps (and app data), safari bookmarks and all info on my ipod touch be restored properly? I am scared that I will lose all my information.
    I previously synced my ipod touch on the older powerbook.
    Anyways, your advice is greatly appreciated!!

    My ipod touch was initially "connected" with the powerbook. When I did a sync on the powerbook (old computer), a bakup was created. In iTunes, I was able to see a list of my apps on the left column (sync apps) next to the right column, that showed what was on the ipod touch.
    On the new computer, macbook pro, after I backup the ipod touch via right clicking the ipod touch on the left left pane.... I do not see my apps show under the sync apps column.
    When I check the box to sync apps, under the apps section, i get a message saying, "Are you sure you want to syn apps? All existing apps and their data on the ipod touch will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library". From the looks of it, none of my apps added onto the library of the macbook pro, as the left column, sync apps, is empty.
    I noticed too, when i backed up the ipod touch on the powerbook, i saw my apps on the status pane show... and eventually show up on the sync apps column on the left. During the backup to the macbook pro, I didn't see that happen.
    Backstory: I got the ipod touch as a present, started using it through my powerbook. I haven't updated it much on the powerbook for a long long time. I got more apps, added bookmarks and used the ipod touch frequently, without really attaching it to the powerbook. Only maybe one time last year to upgrade to 3.1.2 os. Around that time, powerbook was super super slow and having problems.
    Sometime spring/summer last year, I got a new powerbook and haven't had a chance to connect the ipod touch to it until now. I had trouble syncing/transferring my ical, iphotos and itunes (between the powerbook and macbook pro)... but eventually added what I needed for the most part, without adding older stuff i didn't need anymore - pretty much manually. i lived with not having my playlist on itunes and redoing my events in ical. luckily, i have a iphoto library manager, so my photos albums are intact the way i'm comfortable managing them.
    anyways, i want to update the ipod touch to the latest os 4.something. and start using this macbook pro as the go to computer, as i won't be touching the powerbook much.
    I care more for the apps and the apps' data, ipod touch safari bookmarks... photos and music i can redo again, as both are different between the powerbook and macbook pro anyways.
    the macbook pro is authorized, as with the older powerbook.
    i think the reason apps don't bakup inot the macbook pro, is because it's somehow still associated to the powerbook. the contents on the ipod touch are more current than what is on the macbook pro, as regards to apps and apps info and bookmarks.
    Help! Please.

  • Syncing Ipod Touch to new MacBook Pro

    I have just purchased this MacBook and am trying to sync my Ipod Touch. The Itunes software did not see the Ipod, so following online instructions, I reset my iPod to New status. The Itunes program still does not "see" the ipod. The ipod meanwhile is asking to connect to Itunes in order to sync. When changing computers I "migrated' the HD data from my previous computer. What can I do ??

    Make sure Apple Mobile Device Service is installed and try to connect in recovery mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Did you use Time Machine to back up your Mac or do you still have access to your last backup? If yes, copy the iTunes ipod backup folder to your new Macbook and restore your ipod from that backup.
    See more about backups and the location of the backup folder here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

  • Syncing ipod classic to new Macbook

    I just got a new Macbook Pro and I'm trying to sync my iPod classic into iTunes. When I connect my ipod to the USB it does not show up in iTunes. It just shows up on my desktop. Does anyone have any suggestions to help me get my ipod on iTunes? Thanks!

    My motherboard went out on my laptop where my itunes account was based. If I purchase a new laptop, will my IPOD Classic sync with the new laptop or will I lose all my music and data? Desperate working on dissertation...interview is on IPOD.

  • Will lightning connector sync ipod classic to new macbook air

    I am using 30 pin usb 1 connector with 5th grn ipod classic to sync with new macbook air, but computer rejects ipod connection with explanation usb 1 does not sufficient power to sync wih macbook. thanks in advance

    Thanks. You are right, I was following the wrong trail. The problem was not with the connector but with the disorganized state of my music files, with duplicate and overlapping files of the same name, etc., following a move of the files to an external hard drive, and  the the acquisition of a new MacBook Air. No wonder the iPod didn't know what to connect to. But both answers clarified my thinking. It won't be a quick fix, but hopefully it will be a success one.

  • What cable do I need to connect my ACD 21"to a new MacBook Pro?

    I have an Apple Cinema Display (21") about 5 or 6 yrs old. It has a set of FW400, USB, Power, and a video (24pin?) plug on the end. I had an adaptor for that plug to use it with my old MacBook, but that video adaptor doesn't fit the new MacBook Pro I have (Aug 2011).
    What do I need to get the MacBook Pro connected to the Cinema Display?
    Thanks!

  • "new" iMac won't connect to old iMac or to new MacBook Pro

    For a while I've not been able to connect from my new i7 iMac to my old G4 iMac, although I can connect in the other direction ok. I've just gotten a new MacBook Pro, but so far I've been unable to use the Migration Assistant (MA) to transfer files etc. from the i7 iMac, which involves, as I understand it, the iMac connecting to the MBP on request from MA. This connection just doesn't ever happen.
    Like the G4 iMac, however, the MBP can connect to the i7 iMac.
    So, the question is what's wrong with my i7 iMac... presumably something amiss in its network settings?
    Help will be greatly appreciated

    Have you looked in the Sys Prefs/Sharing pane to see that all the Macs are configured the same in regard to Sharing?
    Is the new iMac's Firewall possibly interfering?
    MA must be opened on both Macs to work, then follow the onscreen instructions that MA will give you on the Mac to which you wish to migrate.
    What kind of network are you using; ethernet, wi-fi or a combo of both? Just for the migration a simple ethernet or FireWire cable between the two Macs will also do the trick and not need to worry about network configuration.
