Got a new Mac for Christmas, need to sync with new iTunes...

I had a Dell PC, and I got a MacBook for Christmas. I have an iPod Touch that already has songs, videos and pictures on it that are in my iTunes library on my PC. How do I get these files onto my new Mac?

I have the same situation. I've already copied my iTunes library from my PC to CD's. I added my husband as a user on my new Mac and now has an empty library. I believe my next step is to copy the music files to the library, but what about the iPod Touch? Do I have to connect it to the PC and restore it first so that when I connect it to my Mac it will re-format for OS X? This is how I did it for my iPod Classic, but I've read several articles that the Touch doesn't work the same as the Classic. There are too many contradictory posts out there. Please advise with the easiest way to do this. Thanks in advance.

  • I got an ipod 5 for christmas but i want a new color is it possible to exchange and will i need a receipt

    so I got an ipod 5 for Christmas but my dad said they had no blue so I wanted to exchange it to a blue one is it possible and will I need a receipt and if I have to pay extra I will. by the way my ipod has a black screen silver back and no back camera

    Since you have the iPod touch 5th Generation 16GB 2013 Model, you cannot exchange it. Last week, they discontinued the iPod touch 5G 16GB (2013 Model) and now they have a back camera and colors. You cannot trade now unless you purchased it under 2 weeks ago and like lllaass said, you can get 10% off a new iPod touch 5G 16GB which would be $20 off and it would cost $179 with tax. Hope it helps!

  • Deleted songs on my iPod by sync with new Mac - ups! Can I sync with iPad to get all song back?

    deleted songs on my iPod when sync with new Mac - ups! However all songs are still on my iPad library. Can I sync with iPad to get all song back?

    You can use the transfer purchases feature to put the songs back into iTunes from the iPad - as long as the songs were purchased from iTunes.
    Connect the iPad, launch iTunes and then right click on the iPad name under devices and select Transfer Purchases. But ..... Before you do that - turn off auto sync first.
    Launch iTunes and the go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing Automatically. Check the box at the bottom that says that. Then click OK. Then you can connect the iPad to the new Mac to transfer the purchases.
    This will only work for music purchased from iTunes. If you have music ripped from CD's, you will need a third party app - like TouchCopy.
    You can also download the songs again in iTunes as long as you use the same Apple ID. But read this about downloading past purchases as there are some restrictions based on where you live.

    My question is how do i changed the sync folder of my old laptop to the folder on my new laptop on my iphone?

    Hello tysonmgr,
    And welcome to Apple Discussion
    I think your option here would be to copy the music currently on your iPod to your new computer. From there, you can restore the iPod via iTunes and then sync all your old and new content to it.
    There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link 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. Also keep in mind that the articles may be written for Windows XP, so the steps might have to be altered slightly.
    Actually this article here was written for both Windows XP and Vista.

    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."

  • 2 iPhones need to sync with new computer

    I just purchased a new HP computer and downloaded iTunes but I need to know how to sync two iPhones to the new comp without losing all the data off the phones... Also, what is the easiest way to move my library to new computer?

    Transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer along with all other important data from your old computer that you will need or want to access on your new computer such as documents, folders, etc. You can use the external drive that you use for backup purposes as long as the external drive has adequate storage capacity to store/transfer your entire iTunes library. You also need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes.

  • New PSU for MSI P67S-C43 (B3) with new graphics card.

    Good morning!
    I'm in the market for a new PSU for my system (specs in signature). I think the current PSU I have would be sufficient for the graphics card I'm looking at getting,  GeForce GTX 680 FTW+ (EVGA 04G-P4-3687-KR), however, I'd like to go modular. Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance!
    like_a_god

    A GTX680 system pulls less exactly same power like the same system with GTX260 (both 38A minimum without oc). So in terms of power there is no need for psu upgrade as the TX650 could handle a GTX680 with ease. Considering an oc card it might be 40A required minimum.
    None the less this is a MSI forum so next time please don't ask for psu upgrades for an EVGA card. Better get an MSI card instead like N680GTX Lightning or N680GTX Twin Frozr 4GD5/OC (if you need 4GB).
    If you want to upgarde the psu just because of it being modular then go for an 850w psu to have a noticeable power upgrade also. The HX850 is then the better choice. If you want a fully modular unit it would take AX850 instead.

  • How do you get music from the iPhone to sync to the iTunes on a Mac? I recently got a new Mac, but it won't sync with the music I have on my iPhone. Thanks.

  • Transfer iTunes to new Mac from Time Machine, then sync with iPhone

    Hi everyone,
    I just sold my old Macbook (everything was backed up with Time Machine) and bought a new Macbook Pro. Now I want to copy the iTunes library back. The problem is, even if I copy all the music, video, apps, iTunes U... from Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/... to the new Macbook, iTunes still thinks (rightfully) that it is a new machine. So if I plug my iPhone to it and try to sync, it will ask to *remove all my apps*, music, contacts... and resync again. That would probably *remove every user data* I have in those apps.
    Do you have any solution?

    By any chance do you still have the old computer? If you do then copy /Home/Music/iTunes/ folder on the old computer to an external drive then transfer it to the new computer.
    If you don't have the old computer then you have a little bit of a problem. Did you use Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant to transfer your files from the TM backup? Is the username (account short name) on the new computer the same as on the old computer? I'm guessing "no" because you are getting the permissions errors.

    Perhaps you got a bad iPhone. Take it to an Apple store or an authorized service center.

    You need to use your "emergency email" that you used to set up your iPod to change the security questions and answers.

  • My dad just got the new MacBook for Christmas. His friends all use PC's....

    My dad just got the new MacBook for Christmas. His friends all use PC's and they keep sending him these joke email attatchment files that he can't open on his Mac. One was a .wma audio file, presumably some were video files. Is it possible for him to read these files on his Mac with some aditional software or not? I haven't used Mac's predomanatly before so I'm unsure. What software should he download?

    Playing video files from your computer is completely independent of the optical drive. You could play say a Windows Media file even if you didn't have a drive as long as that file is on your computer.
    That said some report problems using VLC to play DVD's (hence using your optical drive).
    But to the original poster..... Flip4Mac and/or VLC that was suggested should do the trick. About the only thing that would stop those would be a WM10 file that have DRM attached and there's nothing you can use at this point. It's highly unlikely that a bunch of jokes being sent around (great way to get a virus by the way, I know you probably won't and that's why you have a Mac but you get the idea) is using WM10 though.
