Having trouble syncing my classic with an exsisting itunes library that i would like to add to

I have a classic and itouch, i would like to load my classic but can't, my itunes used to be able to sync both, now i can only sync my itouch and can't access my classic thru itunes.  any help would be grateful.

Did you recently upgrade your computer's operating system, or perhaps reload it?  Either way, you are going to want to copy everything on your iPod to your iTunes library first (unless it's all still there) and then go ahead and choose the Erase and Sync option.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • How do I sync my iPad with a new iTunes library without erasing all the previously purchased apps & data on my iPad?

    I'm sure this is a common issue, and I've google-searched for solutions but I cannot find a straight forward answer anywhere. I really hope an expert here can help me out.
    I purchased an iPad last year and synced it with my iTunes library on my old PC laptop. Well, my PC laptop harddrive crashed last week and I cannot access anything on my laptop anymore. I did not make a back-up for my PC harddrive either. I know, next time I should make a back-up and I will. But that's irrelevant. The PC is gone now.
    I replaced my PC this week with a brand new Mac Book Pro. Excited about my new purchase, I quickly hooked up my iPad with the hopes of easily transferring and accessing my iPages, iNumbers, and other productivity iPad apps seamlessly to my new beautiful Mac Book Pro. But now I've run into the nightmarish dilemma of not being able to sync my beloved Ipad with my new MAC without getting the warning that basically says "your iPad is already synced with another iTunes Library. You may only sync to one iTunes Library at a time. You will lose all your data if you sync to this new computer."
    Can someone give me a straightfoward answer as to how I can sync my iPad with my new iTunes Library on my new Mac Book Pro without losing any of the apps that I previously purchased? I want to be able to access the apps I downloaded on my iPad on my Mac Book Pro.
    Thanks so much!!!!!!

    While it isn't as easy to just use a Mac iDevice as media storage as Android and Windows, you can add documents and such like Word, PDF and others manually in iTunes to have them sync as well.

  • Having trouble putting a downloaded mixtape onto my iTunes library.

    Having trouble putting a downloaded mixtape onto my iTunes library.Any suggestions?

    Sometimes downloaded mix tapes come as zip files.  Is that your case?  if so, double click it to unzip, and then add the contents to your iTunes library.

  • Can I sync my iphone with 2 different Itunes Library without erasing data?

    Hello,. I would like to know if its possible to sync my iphone with two different Itunes library without data from first itunes library getting deleted when sync with second itunes library, (I mean, at least the music and videos)
    Thanks!

    iOS devices can only sync with one library at a time.  To sync with a new library, you have to remove the current libraries content.
    An alternative would be to move content to one computer (using an external drive or homesharing), and then sync with the library you choose.

  • I recently purchased a new laptop and have some music on it that I would like to add to my iphone. And vice versa so I can sync them.  What is the best way?

    I recently purchased a new laptop and have some music on it that I would like to add to my iphone. And vice versa so I can sync them.  What is the best way?

    iDevices are not backup devices.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer or the backup of the old computer to the new computer, then sync the device to the computer.
    Attempts to sync the device to the new computer will remove all content from the device and replace it with content from the new computer/library.

  • I have an iPod touch and am thinking of getting an iPhone as well, will I be able to sync my iPhone with my existing iTunes library?

    Hi, I have an iPod touch and am thinking of getting an iPhone to use as well, will I be able to use them both from the same computer or will there be some problems?

    Yes.  There is no limit to the number of iPads, iPods, or iPhones you can sync with one computer, iTunes library, or account.  See this article for different ways to manage multiple devices.

  • Having trouble setting up e-mail on new iPhone 4s. I would like to sync with my outlook mail, contacts

    I am having trouble setting up my email and syncing my outlook calendar wiht my new iphone 4s.

    How do you connect to the internet?
    Most of the time, the problem lies here. You can try a couple of things. First, try only 3G or carrier data. Then, try only wifi. If that still doesn't work, your only other option is to try a different hotspot.
    I had the same problem before when I updated to iOS 4.3. I thought it was the update at first. I usually have the carrier data turned off because my plan doesn't have an unlimited provision for it. I forgot that I also switched ISPs from DSL to a visibility unit package - meaning I had to setup my laptop so that I could get wifi from it. I realized this when I visited a friends house that I knew I could connect properly before.
    My problem was with my laptop. It seems that Little Snitch blocks the ports being used for mail and push notifications. I haven't figured it out exactly since I still can't get email when I'm using my laptop connection. But, it works fine when I'm using ONLY 3G or both/wifi only if connected to a different hotspot.
    Hope that helps.

  • How can I sync my iPhone with a new iTunes library and not loose apps?

    Up until a few days ago I was syncing my iPhone with my PC notebook. Long story short, the machine crashed and I had to re-install. luckily I had a backup of all of the music from my iTunes library which is now hosted on my Mac Mini, but I didn't have a copy of my apps (why iTunes keeps these files outside of the folder I kept my library in I don't know).
    Now I'm syncing music and video with my Mac Mini, but when I select that I want to sync apps I get the message that everything on the phone will be deleted.. Is there a way to back up the apps so I can add them to the library and sync them back to the phone without losing them?

    I had the same issue with a withdrawn app. Just copy all the .app files from the old directory to somewhere on the new machine, then drag them onto the Application menu item on the left hand side and iTunes will import them as long as you've already registered iTunes for the same account.
    Job done! Worked a treat for me - including the app that wasn't available any more.....
