Getting new ipod but keeping old music

i just got a new ipod because my other one hit the sack. if i update my old itunes to the latest version and plug in my new ipod, will i be able to get all the things on my itunes on there no hassle?
thanks.

yes i just did this.....i had a 3rd gen 15Gb and i just bought a 4th gen 40gb and i use them both on the same pc with one Itunes library. I had to plug the second one into a different firewire port on the pc for it to recognize the 2nd pod but they both work.

  • New ipod, but running old itunes....

    Hello!
    wondered if anybody could help with my problem. I had trouble a while back updating to itunes 7, basically it wouldn't open or run on my pc. so I reverted back to my older itunes and everything has been fine, running 4 ipods on the pc.
    But my brother has just got a new ipod and it says it needs itunes 7 or newer to be able to run and it can't dock in my itunes 6.0.5.02. I updated to a newer itunes just to see if it would run on my pc but it still doesnt.
    Can anybody see a way around this?
    cheers for any help, sam.

    thanks for your reply, I decided to download and try media monkey before reading your reply, my brothers happy to use this and the rest of us can carry on with the older itunes.
    but thanks for your help anyway

  • Trying to setup new Ipod but keep getting error

    Your Ipod touch could not be activated because the Activation server could not be reached..............what do i do???? Have been trying over and over and still can never be reached. Please help!!!!

    Try when connected to another network.
    Wait longer.
    If you are doing it on your computer, try disabling the computer's security software.

  • I ve a iphone 3g i try and get new app but keeps saying i need a new verson of the iphone software ios 5, how do i get it i ve tried everything

    i am trying to update my iphone 3g software to ios5 but tried everything need help?? i can not download any apps untill its done

    The latest (and last) iOS for the iPhone 3G is 4.2.1.There is no way to update beyond that.  If you want to use apps requiring iOS 5 or later, your only choice is to get a newer model iPhone.  The 3G is obsolete.

  • New iPod but had old one...

    My husband had an iPod and an account already set up on our computer. He got me an iPod for my birthday, and I downloaded his songs onto my iPod; now, however, when I go into my account, the songs are grey and I can't select anything. I just wanted to create some folders so that I can organize it. Do I need to delete the songs from my iPod, redownload iTunes, and start over? Is there a way to transfer the songs my husband has already loaded onto our computer to my iPod without interferring with his account?

    The songs are "greyed out" because you have the iPod set to transfer songs automatically. That is also why the padlock icon appears at the bottom of iTunes next to the space used/available.
    If you want the songs to be bold and selectable/editable, then you need to change to manage the content manually.
    Please note that by editing/changing the songs on your iPod in this manner, the changes will not affect the songs in iTunes, only on your iPod.

  • HT201269 I downloaded new music into my ipod touch and now when i go on my ipod touch the old music i had on there is like i cant hear them but they are there still

    i downloaded new music on my ipod touch today and now when i go on my ipod touch the old music i had on there i cant listen to them no more because they arent there but still there like i could still see the names of them

    Are they grayed out?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    You can also try deleting all music by:
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                 
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

    Yes
    Put all the music on one computer, make sure it is authorized for all accounts, sync.

  • If i have already logged in my iTunes with my iPod and plugged that in, but now i have a new iPod and I want to plug that in to my laptop how would i do that with out losing anything on my new iPod and my old one. Both my ipods are on different accounts?

  • I think iTunes thinks my new iPod is my old iPod and it's keeping me from syncing apps

    I recently set up an iPod 5 to replace my iPod 4.  The new one was my wife's that she never used and let me have it.  So I restored it, tied it to my account, and I've been using it for a couple of weeks and a few days ago downloaded Tiny Death Star, which I've been enjoying.
    However, ever since I downloaded it I have been unable to sync with my computer.  I repeatedly get the "This iPod is no longer authorized for this app, do you want to authorize", error in iTunes then Iclick yes, then it asks over again and I can't sync anything else.  So I deleted the game(sigh...) and everything worked fine again -- but when I try to "push" the app to my iPod from iTunes, it tells me that "tinydeathstar" is not compatible with my iPod -- which is absolutely incorrect.  It is incompatible with my iPod 4 (there's some compass thing it needs?) but I downloaded it on my iPod 5 and it runs like a champ.
    Tiny Death Star is the only app I have that won't run on an iPod 4.  I think that's the issue with the syncing and the pushing -- iTunes thinks that my new iPod is the old iPod, and won't "allow" an app it thinks it is incompatible.  To remedy this I've tried 1) doing everything from this support article : (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389), 2) restoring my iPod to factory settings 3) removing both devices from my account and re-adding only the new one and finally 4) uninstalling itunes and manually removing a bunch of registry stuff.
    None of that worked.
    So it isn't a huge issue for now.  I just won't be able to sync my iPod for however long I play this game.  But eventually more and more apps won't be compatible with an iPod 4 and I'll be in a pickle.  I might have to rebuild my computer (sigh) just to get itunes to work again.
    So, other than rebuilding my computer, any ideas?

    The app seems to be the tiny death star .  try reset the sync folder and try it on another account (create one if you dont have one). mac: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1627; http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4600 and for windows: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692. tell me what happens.

  • I am getting new ipod touch i backed up old one in itunes i do i put content in new one

    i am getting new ipod touch i backed up old one in itunes how do i get contents in new one

    Restore the new iPod from the backup of the old iPod.
    iOS: How to back up
    The backup does not included synced media like apps and music. Those have to be in the iTunes library . Also, you will have to renter keychain items like passwords since they only get restored to the identical device unless you use an encrypted backup

    I have an old apple ID I want to get rid off but keeps popping up

    If you used the Apple ID to buy content, you will need to maintain the ID to update or redownload the content. Apple does not transfer content from one ID to another, nor does Apple merge Apple IDs.

  • Can I change user profile of an IPOD but keep all of the music and information stored on it?

    A friend updated my IPOD with all of their music with their profile. However, I would like to make changes but keep most of the music that was uploaded.  Can I change the user profile (username and password) of an IPOD but keep all of the music and information stored on it?

    Your frend does not have the right/lience to give the music to you. You should delete that music.
    If he set up the iPod with his iTunes account you should restore the iPod from a backup of the iPod that should be on your computer. That will delete his music but restore your settings.
