Got a new computer- Can I sync new iTunes with my iPod?

We recently had to purchase a new computer, and unfortunately I was not able to transfer my iTunes data from the old computer to the new one. I just downloaded iTunes onto my new computer, though of course it does not have any of the old data. My iPod has everything I need on it. We were able to transfer all our MP3's to our Music folder, so the files that are uploaded to my iPod are on the new computer. Is there any way I can transfer the information from my iPod to the iTunes?

are you using an iPod Touch or a regular iPod (e.g. Classic) ?
if the latter, maybe this KB article helps.

I had an HP laptop with Itunes on it and kept my library on an external hard drive. I had a 160gb classic Ipod.
My computer died and i am buying a new one (mac is out of budget)
When I get my new computer, obviously I will download Itunes. My Ipod still has all the music on it and the external hard drive is ok.
I don't want to "erase" or lose any information when I sync with a new itunes that is "empty"
What are the steps? After I download Itunes and set the folder location to my external harddrive what is next? Will Itunes recognize my IPOD? Will it load the music/list from my ipd or external into itunes?
Thanks in advance

The following user tip is worth checking through:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

I am trying to sync my itunes with my ipod, but when I get to step 3 of syncing, it stops. Also, I deleted all the songs on my ipod, and when I go to my music in my ipod the songs are all still there and in a grey color and I'm not able to select them.

How do I completely clear my ipod music, and how can I solve the syncing problem?

Sync works the same way it always has, connect the device, select the content desired to sync and sync.
All the media should be in iTunes already, iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
If this is a new computer, move the content from the old computer to the new computer.

IPod on new computer - can't transfer new songs to iPod

Hi
I've just got a new PC and have downloaded iTunes. When I connected my iPod it said it was already synced with another iTunes library (ie on my old computer).
I managed to transfer all my purchased music from my iPod to iTunes on my new computer. But I've bought some new songs from the iTunes store and I now can't seem to transfer them to my iPod.
Anybody know how I can fix this please?
Kind regards

New computer and iPhone syncing to iTunes

I bought a new computer and didn't backup old iTunes hard drive . Now iTunes won't sync with my iPhone. It sees it . I followed some instructions , I put all songs back in iTunes via 3rd party, transferred purchases, backup, restore to backup, my phone said restore in progress and it finished restoring. I didn't get the backup - decline or the merge popup. It only sync 1-3 . I can add songs to iTunes but won't sync to phone. My cd won't sync either but the songs are sitting there in iTunes. Can anyone help? I'm not the smartest . So step by step instructions would be awesome!!!!

If you're having trouble syncing your music, check the following:
On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings check "Sync only checked songs and videos"
In your music library check all the songs you want to sync to your phone
Make sure there are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
Authorize your computer for all Apple IDs for purchased music you want to sync to your phone (using Store>Authorize This Computer)
Check "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings

New computer - can't transfer old itunes, problems importing cd's

Sorry the subjec area has multiple topics, but i've got issues. Long story short: computer completely broke. Can't even view screen to try and restore anything or remove programs. Now have HP dv6000. Since I can't move old itunes acct over to new computer, I've resorted to importing all my cd's again. For some reason, some cd's don't even come up when i put them in the drive. No message, no warning - nothing. I insert the cd and it just spins and spins. Is this an itunes issue or a HP issue? Is it because some cd's don't allow you to copy to more than one computer?
Any suggestions?

You should probably post in the itunes forum, since it appears your question has little or nothing to do with ipods.
Where is your back up? Did you not maintain a back up of your music/pics/docs/etc?
You can copy a cd on as many computers as you like. Your problem is very likely not an itunes issue.

New computer: Can I upload new songs from my new computer to my old ipod without deleting the playlists that already exist??

I recently had to purchase a new computer due to my old one shooting sparks and almost setting fire to my furniture when I used it. I can use it rarely to try to get my itunes loaded to transfer over, but it usually doesn't cooperate. I now have a bunch of new songs on my new itunes from purchases and also uploading old cd's. I want to be able to add these songs to my playlists I already have mostly because I use my ipod to work out and also, there are a large amount of songs from my old computer on playlists currently. Is there anyway to make new playlists from my new computer onto my old ipod??

You should be backing up regularly so you can transfer your library to the new computer.
Otherwise, you can transfer purchases

For non-purchased content you will need to find a 3rd party app

New computer - can't connect to Itunes store

Hello all,
I've tried everything and still cannot connect to the Itunes Store.
I have new computer which has updated operating system and current versions of everything, including itunes.
I loaded my library into itunes (have on an external hard drive) and it copied fine. When I try to log into itunes, my id and password appear to be accepted but then I get the error message:
We could not complete your iTunes Store Request
the ITunews Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.
I have gone through everything recommended on the apple site:
iTunes and Safari are up-to-date and restarted.
all software is up-to-date and restarted.
firewall isn't an issue.
i'm a system administrator, no limitations, not an issue.
did keychain repair, not an issue.
internet is working fine on laptop as well as tablet and phone.
date and time are correct.
it all worked fine on my older laptop and i find it incredibly frustrating when I get the newer model and it doesn't work. I'm open to any suggestions here!
thanks - erinn

Run itunes diagnostics it will tell you if windows firewall is a problem, but usually it is not. And if diagnostics will say it is not, try to disable your antivirus(es) and see then if you can connect. Stop reinstalling itunes without disabling that security/antivirus beforehand.

Getting a new computer. can i transfer my itunes?

Hey im getting a new computer and was wondering if its possible to transfer my i tunes from my old one (its is still working just really bogged down) to the new computer.

yes,i think i can figure it out by the third party tool. what i am using is Aniosoft itunes to itunes.It enables you to copy any itunes library to the storage devices if you like and then recover them with no any differece including its formerly playlists ,your personal settings and other content into the new computer or another computer just a simple click 'restore from the folder' that you can select by your preference.For you case,i think you can backup your itunes of the old computer to a memory stick and then transfer the backup database to your new one.You can have a free trial for Aniosoft itunes to itunes before you can buy one.Anyway luck to you.

I purchased a new computer and after setting up iTunes with the new computer, the majority of my previously bought songs appeared, except for one album. How do I recover this album without having to repurchase it?

Can anyone help me in trying to recover this album? I don't want to have to repurchase it because I already paid for it once.

One way is to restore from backup. The other way is to use iTunes on your old computer to burn a hard copy of the album (ie, make a audio CD.) Then import the songs to your new computer.

Can I sync my imac with my ipod ?

How do I sync my imac, ipod, and ipad together?

To do it directly just connect the iPad/iPod to the Mac and you will be able to sync certain files via iTunes. Other files can be synced indirectly via iCloud if your devices meet the system requirements and you set it up.

How can I set up itunes with one ipod and two laptops?

My boyfriend gave me an ipod a few months ago and he let me set up itunes on his laptop so everything is there. now that i have my own laptop i want everything thats on his laptop on mine. The itunes part i mean. but i don't know how can anyone help me?

Do as this article says:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
That will make your iPod the syncing computer.
You can only have one syncing computer/iTunes library for apps. and photos. You can however, manually sync music and vides from multiple computer/library if you sync manually. See that topic of:

How do I sync the itunes with my ipod touch?

My daughter totally messed up her Ipod touch. I am so computer illiterate but I managed to get it cleaned up. I went on line and cleaned up her play lists and videos but now I can not figure out how to transfer the new lists to her ipod. Does anyone know how to do that?

iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Note that you can only sync automatically with one iTunes library. You can use the manual method among different computers/iTunes libraries. Based on what you said, this may not be your one syncing library.
