Help with syncing my ipod to new computer!!!!!

I got a new computer recently with windows 7 installed. however, it doesn't have my itunes library from my previous computer. This is only on my ipod touch. I have put a few new albums onto my computer, but can't put these onto my ipod; i would sync the ipod with my new library, but i think that would get rid of all the music that's already on my ipod? What i would like to know is how i can get all the music on my itouch onto my computer's itunes library (i'm not bothered about losing the few new albums i've just put on there)
thanks very much, Simon

Where is your backup? You should always have a backup.
Itunes store does not keep a copy of your music for you. The only way it would be on the new computer is if you put it there. Once you download a song once, then you must keep up with it and move it wherever you want.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:
Without syncing - File>Transfer Purchases
When you sync your ipod to a different computer, it will first erase the content from the ipod, then replace it with content from the new computer.

I'm having trouble with syncing my iPod to my computer.

I'm having trouble with syncing my iPod. It gets stuck on the last step saying, "Waiting for changes to be applied." It's been doing this for the last half hour. Is there anything I can do to correct this or is am just going to have to restore my iPod?

You can sync/manually mange iphone with one and only one computer. If you sync/manually mange to anther, then it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
What "trouble" are you having?

Help! syncing multiple ipods on same computer!

i will soon have two different ipods syncing to the same computer. how can i keep libraries separate so that my brother's music doesn't show up on my ipod and my music doesn't get synced to his?

There are basically two methods for managing multiple iPods on one computer. See here:
Method 1 - Create different Windows users accounts for each iPod on this computer.
Method 2 - Create a playlist in iTunes for each iPod.
To make Method 2 work, connect one of your iPods, and click on it in the left-source panel.
Under the "Music" tab, and set your option for a specific playlist(s) under the "Sync Music" option.
Do the same with your other iPod; not connected at the same time as the other one, though.
For more details on this matter, check out Apple's Support article about it:
How to manage multiple iPods using one computer
I hope that helps you.

I need help with syncing my Ipod that has old music on it.

My mother has an Ipod with music on it from a computer we've had in the past (i'm almost certain the songs were downloaded via cd). We no longer have that computer, and the current Itunes account only has the songs she's bought since then. She's spent several gift cards on the songs, only to realize that syncing those songs would delete her old songs. Is there any way to get the current songs on her current itunes? Please help : /
She obviously no longer has those old cds, so that is not an option.

Hi jacobfrommt,
I believe that you may be able to acomplish what you are describing by using the Manually Manage option in iTunes. You may find the following articles useful:

I'm unsure about the first question. Do you even have a 7. system and receiver? If you just have 5., you should be able to remap the audio in the THX console.
I do have a sony 7. reciever str de-995 its an older one but its only for my cpu. At first i didnt even have THX installed because it didnt come with the driver package for some reason until i downloaded the daniel_k support drivers and installed it. But it doesnt help in anyway.
I have checked every where regarding the first question and alot of people are having problems getting sound out of there rear channels and the sound being re-mapped to the surround right and the surround left as if there rear left and rear right.
I read somewhere that the daniel_k support drivers would fix this but it didnt for me and many others.
For the second question i assumed it would be becasue of the spidf pass through and that my onboard sound card was inferior to the xfi titaniums. But i wasnt sure and i was hopeing that someone would have a solution for that problem because i miss controlling the volume with my keyboard.

Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

How do I sync from ipod to new computer

My old computer died and I have a new one. Just installed itunes but don't want to plug in my ipod because I am worried it will sync with the new empty version. Is there a way to get my music FROM my ipod nano onto my new computer itunes so I don't lose everything? I have both purchased songs as well as from CD's.

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.

Replaced my computer. Cant sync my ipod to new computer without erasing and loading the empty library on the new computer. Any ideas?

I replaced my computer. When I try to load my music from my ipod to the new computer's itunes, the only option is: "this ipod is synced to another library. Do you wish to erase and load with this library". The new computers library is of course empty. Any ideas?

You should be able to recover the media currently on the iPod with the tips in this post from forum regular Zevoneer.
If you are in the US you should be able to download purchased tracks that are still on sale in the iTunes store on demand once you sign into your iTunes account. If you live anywhere else you may find that a request to redownload your previous purchases might be granted, but the store is under no obligation. You were reminded to back them up at the time of purchase.

Need help with Westell Versalink 327w on new computer with Windows Vista

Greetings!
I'm having trouble trying to connect to my Westell Versalink 327w with my new computer. My old computer and laptop work perfectly fine in connecting to the router. However, when I plug in the Ethernet cable to the router on my new computer, the computer doesn't recognize that a connection is even established. (As if it's not actually plugged in.)
The port on the back of my computer is perfectly fine, as it works with another internet connection I have setup. The cable and router work fine on both my old computer and laptop. (In fact, I'm using the laptop to post on the forums right now.)
The Router itself shows the Ethernet connection that's plugged in as a blinking green light.
Is there a driver or some software I need to install on the new computer? Any specific settings?
I'm using Windows Vista on the new computer, and the old computers both have Windows XP. Is there some sort of complicated new setup that Vista has which is preventing the connection, or like I said, is there software or a driver that I didn't install on the new computer that's making it not recognizing the router at all?
Any help would be much appreciated!

IceSage,
Hey there! Drivers would not required for an ethernet connection to the Versalink. This appears to be an issue with Vista specifically. If you have not already done so you may want to disable IPv6 in the TCP/IP settings of your LAN controller:
Network and Sharing Center > Manage network connections > Right click on "Local Area Network" > Properties > Uncheck "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) > Click "OK" > Reboot > cross fingers
Let us know if that works.

Use iCloud and create a backup. Don't give the phone away until you have copied the photos from it to your new computer.
Don't forget to wipe the device and unlock the Activation lock so your sister can use it under her accoutn going forward.

Need help with transferring DW files to new computer

I purchased a second computer - installed DW on new computer
and connected to server - but am having a problem getting the site
files installed correctely.
On comp#1, in the sidebar I can switch between local and
remote -- and there are arrows to upload or download files. On new
computer I don't see that. New computer has Vista, would that
change the look of the DW program?

> installed DW on new computer and connected to
> server - but am having a problem getting the site files
installed correctely.
go to old computer.
open dw.
dw menu-->site-->Manage Sites
select a site (in cs3, you can shift-click to select entire
list)
and press the export button.
repeat for all sites.
then move the .ste files AND all the "local site folders"
that contain the
site assets to the other computer.
double-click the .ste file, or use dw
menu->site->import
you will have to double-check these three places in each site
definition:
Local info:
Local site folder path
default image folder path
Site:
location of this site's "homepage"
-->IF anything on the path to the local files is different
on this computer.
Such as having a different Username.

See:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
Basically you will have to transfer its contents to the new computer and then restore the iPod and then resync. An iPod can only sync to one iTunes library.
BTW you posted in the iPod touch forum.
