Have new computer, says no ipod found??

On my old computer, my ipod randomly stopped showing up in itunes. The computer was not very good so i authorized my laptop and tried plugging it in but still nothing happens. My ipod works and when i plug it in it starts charging, but nothing comes up. I have had to transfer computers before and usually when you plug in something comes up that says "are you sure you want to replace this library?" but that is not happening this time. I dont know what to do, do i need a new ipod?

See if there's any help here.

HT1567 I have new computer and my ipod won't sync with my itunes library on it.

Trying to sync my ipod with my itunes account on my new computer with no response. When I plug my ipod into my computer it doesn't sync.

How is your iPod configured to sync with your iTunes library? What options do you have enabled/configured from under the iPod's Summary and Music tabs? Perhaps this article can offer more assistance.

HT1212 i don't have the computer that my iPod was registered to and i forgot my password because i just found my phone after being lost for 2 years

i don't have the computer that my iPod was registered to and i forgot my password because i just found my phone after being lost for 2 years. Idk what to do so i can access my ipod.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

My new computer says that my ipod is not authorized to play on it

I have a new computer, and my library has been transferred to it, and it recognizes my ipod when I connect it. However, when I try to copy new songs from my library to the ipod, it says that my ipod is not authorized to play on this computer. What do I do?

Do the songs play in iTunes? It may be that after you moved it, you now need to authorize the new COMPUTER (not the iPod), then your iPod should be able to sync everything. iPods are not authorized, computers are.

Computer crashed & have new computer. How do I get it to "own" my iPOD now?

My computer crashed and I lost all my music. Obviously, it is still on my iPOD. I have a new computer now, but iTunes says that my iPOD is already synced to my old computer. How can I change this and have my new computer "own" my iPOD? Thank you!

If you no longer have the old computer this will be very helpful and If you have other content - apps, books, movies, that you want to transfer to the iTunes library - you need to transfer your purchases from the iPod to the computer as well.
Take a look.

This works the same way whether you have a Mac or a PC.

I Have a Ipod Classic that all my music is on. After my previous computer crashed I have not had any of my music able to be transfered to the new computer from the Ipod. Is there a way to do this

Unfortunately, unless you have a backup and can restore the iTunes library to the new computer, you are stuck with the current state of the iPod. This is one of those things that makes doing backups so important.
Unless your music is all purchased from iTunes (not from your own CD's that you imported into iTunes and then downloaded to the iPod), you will be able to re-download all your iTunes store music back to the iPod when you install iTunes on the new computer. When you first attach the iPod to the new computer and new iTunes the first time it will tell you that this iPod is synced with another iTunes library and let you initialize the iPod (which will erase everything on the iPod - so don't do this unless you don't care about the stuff on the iPod now).
I've seen 3rd party apps in the past that will let you copy music/content from iPod to computer and bypass iTunes, but not sure if they still exist as this was several years ago.
good luck

HT1386 Have new computer and have autorized it, but cannot send new purchases to my ipod nano?

Have new computer and added it to home group and have authorized computer, however, cannot get new purchases to transfer to my ipod. Please help

You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception being itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases

Launch iTunes on your new computer then from the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.
Try syncing.

I just got a new computer and my iPOD will not sync to it because of the old computer. How can I get my library to sync on the new computer????

I originally synced my iPOD to my PC in April 2011. I purchased a new computer but my iPOD will not sync to it because it is synced to the old PC. I do not want to erase my iPOD to sync with the new PC because I have loaded alot of music from CD's to it. HELP!

See this article how to transfer your data? How to back up your data and set up as a new device
Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
As mentioned by vazandrew, music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Have new Computer. Need to re-download Acro 9 Pro.

I have new Computer. Purchased Acrobat Pro in 2008. Need to re-download, and it doesn't work.

If you reply be email instead of this forum, I cannot reply directly.
I tried the alternate method, as suggested in the email I just received:
DJScreenName please try the steps offered in Troubleshoot Akamai Download Manager 3 | Trial products - http://helpx.adobe.com/tech-comm-suite/kb/troubleshoot-akamai-download -manager-3.html.
And this make a tiny file that does nothing.
I downlooad all the time. I have a serial number. Why can't I simply doenwooald this softwware?
When I use MS Inet explorer with Akamai, it now says "Content verification failure".
Is there a problem downloading Acrobat 9 Pro for some reason?
