How can I synch my ipod touch gen 3 to itunes on my new computer

I was unable to save anything from my old laptop & would like to transfer all music on my ipod to the itunes on my new computer. I have authorized it as a home share computer, although I'm not sure if that means anything for this situation. Thank you in advance for any help I can get for this.

- Transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

- Connct the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and then clicking on Backup
- Restore the iPod from that backup.

  • I can't get my ipod touch to sync to itunes in my new computer

    I've recently purchased a new computer, and installed itunes onto it. I've plugged in my ipod touch and itunes does not respond to it at all. no sync options, or anything. please help.

    Before you do sync, copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.  Otherwise on the initial sync it WILL wipe the content of the iPod and replace it with the blank library from the new computer.

  • How can I get my iPod touch to display all the artwork on my computer?

    Hi,
    I have an iPod touch 4th gen 32 GB with iOS 6.1 on it.  I have trouble getting it to display all the album artwork that I have on my computer.  Not all of my music has it, but about 90% of it does.  Is there any way I can make it display everything that's on my computer?  I have iTunes 11 on it and it is a Windows 7 computer.  Thanks!

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • How can I get my iPod Touch 5G recognized in iTunes 11.0.2?

    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How can I transfer my iPod touch files directly to iTunes library?

    I wanted to upgrade my iPod because it is still version 4.1 . Every time I try to download apps from the App Store, most of them are only available for newer versions that's why I wanted to upgrade it. Please help me! Thanks in advance.

    Follow these insructions. WHn it says to restore from backup your iPod will also be updated.
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
    Note:
    A 2G can only to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. With OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
    A 3G to 5.1.1  Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
    A 4G to 6  Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later
    Identifying iPod models
    CAUTION, if you have a 2G iPod
    Before you restore the iPod make sure that your iTunes library has the version of apps that are presently installed on your iPod. Many apps have been update and the update apps are not compatible with the 2G iPod. I would do that by deleting the apps from your iTunes library and then transfer them to your iTunes library. See:

    In iTunes 11 use Control+B to show the Menu bar then go to iTunes>File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

  • How can i transfer all my stuff in iphone to itunes in my new computer?

    How can i transfer all my stuff to i tunes in my new computer?
    (will all stuff be removed in my iphone if i just sync it with the new downloaded i tunes?)

    No, as long as the iTunes ID you use is the same one as on your iPhone and your old computer.
    But it goes without saying you should make a backup first.

  • How can I use my iPod touch to restore my iTunes library?

    I recently had to reformat my computer so everything is gone. I have all my music backed up on an external drive, but can't I  just download everything off my iPhone and iTouch back into iTunes?

    The music sync is one way - copmputer to ipod/iphone.
    The ONLY exception is itunes purchases.  File>Transfer Purchases
    You need to copy everything from your backup copy to your computer.
    The iphone/ipod is not a stoarage/backup device.

  • HT204088 How how can I synch my ipod + iphone music to my new computer? I get the same error  "my ipod or iphone is synched with another itunes library.An Ipod can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would I like to do Erase and Synch

    How can I synch my ipod & iphone music (purchased from itunes on my old laptop) to my new laptop? I keep getting the same message on my itunes on my new laptop: " The ipod/Iphone is synched with another itunes library. An ipod/iphone can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would you like to do - Erase and Synch or Transfer Purchases?" What do I do?
    A couple of other items:
    1) I am guessing Apple does not keep a history of all my music purchases? As I did not have my entire library backed-up anywhere, and relying on the music I have on my ipod and my iphone as my only source of itunes music....I have lost over 500 songs!!!
    2) I used to have an Apple account under another account name, and since have switched to a new account name. Is there anyway to find the history of purchases from my old Apple account name and transfer these over to my new account name and onto my new laptop?
    I hope someone can help, I am having a very difficult time trying to obtain answers. Angie

    The iphone/ipod is NOT a storage/backup device.  Not maintaining a backup copy is a big mistake.
    You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone/ipod to your computer:
    Authorize your computer for all accounts and then click  File>Transfer Purchases

  • HT201272 my ipod touch gen 2 will not accept the new ebay app how do i get?

    hi,
    how do i get the old ebay app my ipod touch gen 2 will not accept the new version?

    If you didn't previously download the eBay app and have it still in a backup or somewhere, then you can't. The current version of the eBay app requires iOS 4.3 which will not run on a 2nd-generation iPod touch.
    Regards.

    The other responder gave you a program that will transfer stuff from your iPod to your new computer.  You can transfer iTunes purchaces to your new computer by:

    After you move your stuff to your new computer you will have to let iTunes erase your iPod and then sync with the stuff that is now in your iTunes library.  You will loose app data though.

    I have new purchases on my new laptop but too paranoid to synch the ipod incase I lose the thousands of tunes I copied over from my old collections.
