How can I sync my ipod to my new library without losing all the pictures?

A few years ago I bought an ipod classic and I downloaded some really great pictures. The ipod was synced with my old desktop which crashed and stopped working completely so I threw it away. I really want to download my new music onto my classic because it has so much free GB but I cant afford to lose my pictures. Is there any way I can copy them onto my PC? 

Specifically I'm looking to keep all my photo's on the phone.

  • How can I sync my iPhone to a new library without losing all the data on the phone?

    I recently switched computers as the old one had died but I can't transfer any of my music from the iTunes to the new phone. Is there any way I can backup the phone and then sync it with the new library and somehow restore all my app's etc?

    Question: I have a computer at home and one at work. Can I update my iPod music collection from more than one computer?
    Answer: Yes. When you first connect iPod to your computer, iPod recognizes that computer as its "home" computer. Each time you connect, iPod automatically downloads the music library stored on it. When you connect iPod to a different computer, iTunes will inform you that iPod is linked to a different iTunes library and will ask whether you wish to erase iPod's contents and sync with the new computer's library. If you will be connecting to multiple computers frequently, configure your iPod to manually manage music. This will allow you to selectively drag songs, albums, or playlists from the second computer to your iPod without compromising the existing music.
    Synchronization generally occurs only in one direction, from your computer to your iPod. This means you typically cannot transfer music, automatically or manually, from your iPod to a computer, and you cannot use iPod to copy a music library from one computer to another. An exception to this is the transfer purchases feature which allows you to restore purchased iTunes content to your computer from your iPod. Additionally, if you legally are allowed to copy music or other media files, you can configure your iPod as a storage drive to move media files.

    Hi, I have just purchased a Macbook, but my iphone is currently synched to my old pc. How can I now synch it with my new mac without losing all the apps/music etc on my phone? Ta

    The easiest way is to copy the iTunes folder from your old PC to your MB (put it in the Music folder as a subfolder), along with the other valuable data on the old PC. Or restore it from a backup of your old PC. Then authorize iTunes on the MB to the same account you had on the PC. When you sync it will warn you that your content will be deleted, but it will be replaced with the same content from the MB. Before syncing you should also make sure there is at least one entry in iCal and Address book on the MB (assuming you sync to Outlook or equivalent on the PC) to assure that your contacts and calendar entries will move over correctly.
    Al alternative that is less effective is to connect the iPhone to the MB without syncing, and choose "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes File menu. This willl copy purchases music, videos and apps, but not ripped tracks from the iPhone to the MB.

  • How can i transfer my ipod to my new itunes without losing all music

    my computer crashed and now all i have is my cousins and i need to know how to convert my music onto her new itunes, hopefully without losing all my music. if thats possible, so there is no way i can go back to my old itunes, her computer is the only itunes i will be able to use. how can i transferr my ipod touch to her computer without losing all data???

    Welcome to the discussion,
    Create a new user in windows to keep your iTunes library separate and log in. 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.

    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

  • How do i sync my ipad to my new computer without losing all the apps on the ipad

    how do i sync my ipad to my new computer without losing all my apps that are on the ipad

    This should be a pretty good guide for setting up the iPad with a new computer and for keeping your content.
    Don't forget to authorize the new computer as well. Launch iTunes and go to Store>Authorize this Computer.
    This is the original thread.

    1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
    Make sure that you move your iTunes library from the old computer to the new one as well for all of your music.
    Here is an article that can help you with that.

    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer

  • I have just changed my computer as my old one died... but now cannot access my old itunes account so i have set up a new one with another email address. how can I sync my ipod to my new computer without wiping all my music ?

    I have just tried to sync my ipod to a new computer as my old one died but as I cannot remember my previous log in I created a new itunes account. I now want to sync but it says it will wipe my music off my ipod. Does anyone know how I can do this now ?

    If you have purchases on your iPod Shuffle that you want to sync back to iTunes, but are under the Apple ID you no longer have access to, you'll need to reset that account information. You can use this link to reset your password.
    https://iforgot.apple.com/
    If that doesn' work or help, you'll need to contact iTunes support and have them walk you through the process of resetting the older account information.  Once you know the email and password again, you can authorize your new computer and transfer any purchases from this account back to iTunes.
    For all non-iTunes purchased content, you'll need to the assistance of some sort of third party software that is not supported by Apple. 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.

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your phone from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Set up your iTunes account, disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.

  • How can I sync my Iphone to a new computer without clearing all the data?

    When I first started using my iPhone, I had it paired with a MacBook which has subsequently crashed. While most of the information was backed up, not all of it was and iTunes now tells me I must completely erase all of my data. I would prefer not to loose all of my contacts, apps, and other information. I know the phone will not transfer files to my computer, I'm not asking how to do that nor do I care to. I just want to sync it with my new MacBook Pro.

    You cannot sync without erasing.
    Transfer your itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Then enter one unique contact and calendar entry in the new computer. When you first sync you should get the option to merge the data.
    Make sure you backup everything going forward.  It makes all of this much easier.

  • Can I sync my iPod to a different computer WITHOUT losing all of my music?

    Can I sync my iPod to a different computer WITHOUT losing all of my music?

    Yes. Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time, meaning that when you try to sync it with a new library, it will erase everything that is currently on the iPod and replace it with what is in the new library.
    So the first thing you are going to want to do is copy everything from your iPod back to your PC first using one of the methods described in this older post from another forum member Zevoneer.
