HI Stormsmom,
You need to set your iPod to "manually manage music" or else iTunes will delete your files in syncing it up.You can read this article for more info:

  • Have a new computer want to sync songs with iphone that is connected to old computer

    have a new laptop
    have iphone synced to old laptop (now broken)
    want to sync iphone to new itunes but not lose all songs saved on phone
    why do apple make things so hard? please help

    You are not addressing Apple, this is a user to user support forum. iTunes has always been designed to sync one way, from iTunes to the device. iDevices have always been able to sync to only one computer. It is the user's responsibility to back up their devices to minimize impact in case of failures. The reason this is designed this way also has to do with pirating music, sharing of music with people that do not have authorization to have it due to copyright laws.
    I'm sorry, I cannot see why you not having a backup of your computer is Apple's concern. I'd be willing to be that you have not set up any system for backing up your new computer either. Do you backup your iPhone?

  • My ipod was set up on a Mac. Now I have a PC and want to sync my music on iTunes, but I can't without reformatting my drive and losing my music.

    My ipod was set up on a Mac. Now I have a PC and want to sync my music on iTunes, but I can't without reformatting my drive and losing my music. Help. I no longer have a Mac. I want to keep the music and videos I purchased. Since it is an iPod classic (80GB) I cannot even use the iCloud. Is there a way to move my ipod's music so I can reformat it to my pc?

    WIndows is asking you to reformat the iPod's hard disk because it's probably in the Mac OS X Extended Journaled file system format which the Windows OS can neither read or write to.  Reformatting will erase all content from the device and rebuild the filesystem as FAT32 unless you specify it as NTFS (which you shouldn't do).
    If you want to be able to use your iPod to copy music from your Mac to your PC, you'll need to either pre-format it as FAT32 using Disk Utility on your Mac and then copy everything over to your PC, or use third party software such as XPlay that allows a Windows PC to read and write to a Mac formatted iPod.
    Perhaps you could take a look at this article for other ways to copy your iTunes library and files from your Mac to the PC.

  • I have a new computer and I can't access my Itunes account.  The message says that I am allowed to have only 5 authorized computers on this account.  I do not have 5 authorized computers on my account.  What can I do?

    I have a new computer and I can't access my Itunes account.  The message says I can't have more than 5 computers on this account and I don't.  What can I do?

    First of all you should really post this in Itunes forums cause you might get more hits on it.. Anyway.. You can only authorize up to 5 comps on one itunes account.. This does not include iOS devices. Those you can have 10.
    So to fix this issue, open itunes, hit store on the left side, click log in (or your e-mail address if you are already logged in) in the top right hard corner of the page. One you log into your account you will see a a little area where it says you authorized 5 out of 5 comps. Below it should be a button to clear all those out.  Itunes will de-authorize all computers on the account then you need to go back Store tab in the menu bar and select authorize this computer.
    Remember it will deauthorize all your computers, so you need to re-authorize any other computers you have.

  • Sync is grayed out.  Can no longer sync iPod classic with iTunes.

    No longer able to sync iPod classic with iTunes.  The iPod is recognized, but sync is grayed out.  Any help out there?

    I have the same problem with my ipod nano. I downloaded tunes from my old pc. ITunes does not recognise it from my new pc and I cannot sync.

  • I have a new computer, can i upload from itouch to itunes

    have a new computer and wont to upload from itouch to itumes library, can i do that

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device.  Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software.  A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

  • I have a new computer. How can I transfer my ITunes library? My old one has a virus. Can I transfer it from my IPhone?

    I can't find any information on how you can transfer your ITunes library from an old computer to a new one. I have installed ITunes on my new computer but it doesn't seem to synch with my IPhone. And I don't want to erase the library that is on my IPhone.

  • HT4527 I have a new computer and all of my music from itunes is not showing how can I get it back? My old computer is fried. I had 5 authorazations so I deauthorized all then authorized my new computer. Please help

    I have a new computer and after I downloaded iTunes my music library is empty. I had to deauthorize my last computers since I was at the 5 limit. How do I get my music?

    Copy all of your music from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries.

  • My hard drive is ready to die and i want to load my itunes to an external hard drive and then loan them back to my new computer. Will my ipod classic sync up to the new computer?

    my hard drive is ready to die and want to move my itunes to an external hard then back to a new computer, will i have a problem syncing my ipod up to the new computer and in the process loosing all my music?

    To be honest your post is rambling and difficult to read due to the lack of proper punctuation I only read it part way however...
    The first thing to do is a proper backup. Your system has Time Machine built into it, here is the Time Machine Tutorial. Look that over, get yourself an external HD to use as a TM drive and backup properly! This will backup all of OS X however it will NOT backup MS Windows!
    If you think your HD is failing then run Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode and if it reports errors you can post them here.

  • New Laptop-- Want to SYNC Ipod

    I recently bought a new ipod touch and I was wondering how I would sync all my current applications and music onto it from my ipod.
    My apps are on my computer or my moms, but are all on my ipod. I really want all the applications and music from the touch on my laptop so I can restore it on the laptop and move everything on my laptops itunes and not have to use the home computers.
    Is there a way I can transfer all that data to my new laptops itunes?
    Thank you.

    You sync the music and apps onto ipod touch via itunes. The music and apps need to be in itunes from them to sync. If your old ipod is not an ipod touch, the games will not work with the ipod touch.
    You can copy the entire itunes folder to your laptop. Put it in the same place/folder/location as the current computer. I know this works on Mac as I have done it. I have not done this with a pc.

  • Got a new computer...sync iPod?

    I have a 2nd Gen 8 GB iPod Nano and I just got a new laptop. My iPod is synced with my old desktop. I downloaded iTunes and connected my iPod to the computer. It asked me to authorize and I did. iTunes then proceeded to take my purchased music (about 23 total out of about 700 songs on my iPod) and transfer it to iTunes, leaving out the remaining 600-some odd songs.
    How do I make my new laptop the one synced with my iPod? Do I really have to burn ALL my songs on a DVD (no one CD will hold 700+ songs..)??
    I remember with my old iPod Mini, I simply plugged it into the computer and it copied the songs into iTunes...does this not exist anymore?? Merci [=

    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
