Help Syncing iPod

My old computer crashed, and I can't even turn it on now due to a virus.  I have a new computer, and have downloaded new songs into the new computers iTunes library, but it won't let me sync the ipod to the new computer.  How do I get the new computer set up so I can sync the iPod?  It keeps giving me an error message.
Thanks,
Steve

When and what is the error message you get?
What is displayed on the iPod screen when you connect the iPod to the OC? (Do Not disconnect sign?)
have a nice day.

  • HELP Syncing ipod touch with itunes on pc

    Once ive conected the ipod to the pc and start syncing it puts around 30-70 songs on then an Erorr message comes up, saying "canot read from or write to", the usual message that alot of people seem to be getting.
    Just wondering if there is any fix for this or anything you can do to stop it from happening, done all the usual stuff reset, removal of itunes & re install etc. Im really losing my rag with it know and may take it back & get a refund. Any help much appriciated.

    I've actually found something very strange happening with the iPod Touch. When I first got it, I was completely happy ... then something went wrong, I had to do a restore. After the restore I had a dimming backlight!! - Something which I'd never had previous to doing the restore. I think my iPod shipped with in-complete firmware (not visable to the naked-eye).
    Anyway, to answer your question, I would do just that. I'd click on your iPOd Touch on the left pane in iTunes, and click 'Restore'.
    See if syncing is fully 'restored' after this.
    Hope this experience of mine, and this advice, helps you.

  • Help syncing iPod touch 4g?

    My iPod touch 4g won't sync with my new iMac. It worked well the first few times, but now it says that it can't sync because a session can't be started with my iPod and/or that another sync session was already running. Halp.

  • Trying to sync iPod with library, but receive this message, "The iPod is synced with another itunes library.  Do you want to erase this ipod and sync with this itunes library".  I do not want to erase my iPod... Any suggestions??  Please help!!

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

    I need help Syncing my ipod to my mac. It has music on the mac currently but I want both my ipod music and the mac music together but it says i have to delete my ipod and only have the Laptop music on it. is there anyway to have both?

    I got a Mac and started buying music on it, and My PC has all of my whole Itunes library which is like 1000+. Well I want to put all of my music on my Mac, But everytime I plug it in and ask it to sync all music it tells me that I have to erase my Ipod and sync in with the music on my Mac... Gosh its so confusing.

  • HT1351 Am having problems syncing iPod classic 160gb to iTunes within Windows 8. Can you help?

    I bought my iPod Classic 160GB from new in April 2012.  For several months, I ran it through an older HP laptop running Windows XP home edition (service pack 3 I think?).  I did however, use a Toshiba external hard drive to store all CDs/podcasts/photos etc.  All worked very well and I put a fair amount of music (via CDs and podcasts) on the iPod via iTunes.  All worked successfully.  I changed computer earlier this year - another HP laptop but now running Windows 8.  I've downloaded the up to date edition of iTunes AND have also transferred all existing material/files from the same Toshiba external hard drive to the iTunes in my new computer.  (think I did this correctly?)  So far, so good.  I have placed some more music on the external hard drive and into iTunes and wanted to sync with my iPod.  I connect iPod to the computer.  It's recognised in iTunes as the window comes up showing iPod's serial number and settings etc etc.  The iPod screen shows 'sync' and the top of screen in iTunes also shows 'syncing' however, after a few seconds, this stops and the iPod screen shows 'OK to disconnect' without having transferred any of the new music onto the iPod.  Although all the existing music remains on the iPod (the stuff that was there before), the copule of new CDs hasn't been transferred over.  Can anyone help me solve this problem?  I hear that there are some problems at the moment syncing iPods within Windows 8.  Anybody else had this problem?  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Please help, my ipod touch doesn't sync??/

    Hello please any help, my ipod touch 2 generation doesn't want to sync with my computer, i check usb cable and all that, the other thing for some reason isn't charging the battery, only show the screen with low battery and flash back and fort from that screen to the blue with the white apple, please help what can i do?? thanks upfront for any advice...

    Not Charge
    - See:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable
    - Try another charging source
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    and/or
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I have both an iPod and Ipad 2. Latest I have sync. ipod. Now when I want to sync. iPad 2 in iTunes its only iPod mentioned in sync. window and it does not help to connect iPad. its not shown in iTunes. What to do next?

    I have both an iPod and iPad 2. Latest I have sync. iPod and now I want to sync iPad, but iPad is not shown in iTunes when connected. I have the latest iTunes version.

    If your computer starts image capture or some other camera software you should be able to quit that and then your iPad will show up in iTunes. Mine does this all the time.
    The preference on what to start up when a "camera" is connected is found in Image Capture. So start Image Capture. It's in the applications > Utility folder. Then look for preferences. In my version it's in the lower left corner. Select None or Nothing and quit the program. From then on your iPad should show correctly in iTunes. But you will most likely have to start your smear software manually when you do connect a camera to your computer.

    But I must point out that leaving the iPhoto Library on the external is worth considering. Your internal drive would be better off without having to carry the photos.
    When you booted with the external connected and you were asked for the library, did you try navigating to the Library in on the external drive?
