Got a new macbook, when i sync my iPod, will it erase all my songs

So will it erase all my songs when i sync it to my new macbook?

Yes. An iPod is designed to only sync with one iTunes library/computer at a time. If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library it will erase what is currently on the iPod and replace it whatever is in the new library empty or not.
So what'll you want to do is copy all of your content on your iPod to your new Macbook Pro and into iTunes. You can transfer purchases from the iPod to iTunes via File -> Transfer purchases. For music outside of iTunes you'll need the help of some sort of third party program such as Senuti to help you get the job done.

Use the Transfer Purchases command in the File menu and then sync, authorizing the computer from the Store menu if needed.

I had to install a new hard drive on my system and download itunes again. When I synced my ipod it duplicated a bunch of songs, how do I fix this problem?

wait until you reach the limit of five authorized machines. then, once a year, you will be able to deauthorize all machines, following which you can reauthorize those computers you currently use/have access to.

When I updated the software on my ipod 4 touch, many podcasts were erased. When I synced the ipod, they were erased from the ipod also. The current itunes does not allow me to go back to these dates (a few months) and re-download? Can I? and prevent this?

When I upgraded the software on my ipod touch4, many podcasts were deleted from itunes. Of course, when I synced the ipod, they were deleted from the ipod as well. Apparently the current version of itunes will not let me go back to these earlier episodes (just a few months), in a podcast that I have been subscribed to, and re-download them. Is there a way to do that? and, how can I prevent this from happening again?

Hey! I had the same problem you did just today when I was trying to get my second iPhone to sync. What you need to do with music or anything extra that you doing you have to creat a second playlist or picture or anything that you would like to use, so that you can add to the second device that you are going to be using. I am not sure if that will help but it helped me out a lot!! Good luck!

HT1848 when I download this update will it erase all my totals in Angry Birds?

When I download the iOS 5 update will it erase all my totals in Angry Birds?

If you update via Settings>General>Software update not should be lost unless there is a glitch.
If you update via iTunes all your syncecd media like apps and music has to be in your iTunes library.
As a precaution make backups before updating

Just got a new Macbook...have a ipod touch

Ok, I just got a brand new macbook and i totally love it, but i have an itouch and would really like it to sync with my new computer. the computer that my itouch is synced to is a windows...how do i do that and are there problems i will face? I have a lot of music and games i don't want to lose all that...

Just transfer your iTunes Library from the PC to the Mac, and continue syncing on the Mac.
This Google Search will link you to some instructions on how to do the transfer.
If you want to be sure not to lose anything, just back it all up first.

My computer crashed and we got a new one - I logged in to my Itunes account but all my songs are gone. How can I get them back?

We got a new computer and have logged in to Itunes, but where did my music go? How can we find it?

They will not magically appear on another computer.
Your music will only be where you put it.
Copy it from the old computer or your backup copy of the old computer.
You buy one and only one download. It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
Hope all goes well.

My computer crashed and I lost everything, when I sync my ipod will everything on it be erased

My computer crashed and I had to reinstall everything. Once I connect my ipod will everything on it be erased?

That's what backups are for. Use Time Machine. It's free and external drives are cheap. To recover your iPhone's content requires the use of third party utilities. Success is not guaranteed. Read:

When installing Mountain Lion OS will it erase all on my computer?

Will the installation of Mountain Lion OS wipe out the pictures and documents on my computer?

If everything works perfectly, it should not do anything but overwrite the old operating system with the new one.
Having said that would you trust you data to eveything working perfectly. I don't know about you but I don't. In fact I actually backup my data twice using different software for each backup just in case.
So the decision is yours. How trusting are you?

When I sync my iPod to my MacBook through iTunes new events do not show up and old events are not deleted. I am using Snow Leopard and not iSync.

I am using Snow Leopard on a MacBook. I have an iPod touch 3G. I do not use iSync it Mobile Me. When I sync my iPod through iTunes new events on my iPod do not show up on my Mac and old events do not delete. I have read help instructions that include deleting the data on the iPod. The iPod has the correct data and the Mac does not so I have not followed those instructions. I need help as the only reason I bought the Mac was to be able to sync, back up, view and print my calendar. Currently it is useless. If only Apple could have learned from the elegance of the Palm software.

I just got a new macbook pro. How do I get the 900 songs that I took off of cds into iTunes on my computer from my iPhone. I had no problems syncing the music I had purchased from iTunes. I have tried to sync it using iTunes match, this did not work.

I have tried to sync it using iTunes match, this did not work. I would like to have access to my full library without going into the user profile of my old computer, which is on my new computers hard drive. I would like to eventually delete the old profile so that I have more space on my hard drive.

I am English but live in Spain, When I got my new Macbook Pro I set the language to English, so far so good. Then I stupidly set the keyboard to British when it is obviously a Spanish keyboard. How can I reset it to Spanish. Sorry cant find question mark

LizMaddock,
you can reset the input source to Spanish by selecting the Keyboard pane of System Preferences, selecting the Input Sources tab, and pressing the “+” button in the lower-left corner to select one of the Spanish input sources. The “Spanish – ISO” input source is most similar to the physical Spanish keyboard layout.

You don't need to delete anything from your phone or you old computer.
Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer or backup to /Music/ on new computer.
If you cannot use the old computer or don't have a backup...
-> Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Then immediately make a backup of your new computer.
Get an external drive and plug it in and use -> Time Machine

Deselect the box next to Photo Stream then reselect it then restart your Mac.

I just got the new macbook pro about 2 weeks ago, it has lion. When the new mountain lion comes this summer, can i just update it on my macbook pro since it isn't so old? And if i can update it, do i have to pay, or is it a free update?

I'm in the same position, the store said they didn't know of any new release, so i bought my macbook pro to find out about mountain lion. I really hope that i'm not going to pay for the upgrade. New to apple, also last month bought my Ipad 3, really thought that Airplay would have been on my book pro, nope, waste of time.........need that update to use it. Back i the box then, get the windows 7 ultimate pro back out until then.
