How do connect ure i pod to different computer without deletin all info

I got a new computer + whenever i put my ipod onto a new computer it deletes all the info on it, ive got a new computer + have 2000 songs on the ipod and i dont want them to get them deleted please help

Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
Once they are there in iTunes, you can use your new computer as normal.

    I don't want to rebuy everything I have purchased over the years.
    Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    They should be in your itunes media folder. Use an external hard drive and just copy that to your new computer. I'm sure there's an easier way like this one (iTunes>File>Library>Export Library>External Hard Drive) but I never tried it before. Anyways, once that's done, just simply authorize your itunes account to play music you bought on to the new computer.

  • 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.

  • How to redownload final cut pro on different computer without installation disc?

    I purchased a laptop that has final cut pro on it but it didnt come with an installation disc or anything. I need to put my final cut pro on a different computer...What can I do?

    Final Cut Pro X is an app from the Mac App Store. There is no installation disc.  Since you said it came pre-installed on your computer, I'm assuming that means you aren't able to go to the Purchased tab of the Mac App Store on a different computer to redownload it. Therefore, I would suggest using an external hard drive or FireWire or thunderbolt or USB connects,etc. to transfer the application between computers along with all the library files from the system library library and 'hidden library'

  • HT1296 How do you sync your iPod to another computer without deleting all the data?

    I recently got a new MacBook Air and I found out that if I sync my iPod touch with my new computer instead of my old one all my data will be deleted.
    How do I sync my iPod without deleting all my information?

    You can't, so you'll need to get all your data, apps and content to the new computer before you allow the sync. See this support article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    You can also download most of your content (the notable exceptions being movies, some of which can be redownloaded if you're in the US, and audiobooks) again from the iTunes Store:

  • How do I charge iPod w/ a different computer without losing my iPod library

    I usually use the iPod with my G5 at home. Last time I travelled I tried charging the iPod with the USB cable and my laptop. Unfortunately, it decided to use the library of iBook.
    I know there is a setting for manually updating, etc. Isn't that option only available when the iPod is plugged into the computer? I would rather do it now while I am at home then on my trip and lose my tracks.
    So to sum up, my question is... How do I charge my iPod with a second machine and not lose my iPod library?
    Thank you so much in advance!
    Bobby

    Since you have a fifth generation iPod and a machine with FireWire ports, you can do this by plugging it in through the FireWire connection; that iPod will charge but not sync through FireWire. Otherwise, set the iPod to update manually when it is hooked up to the main machine, or use these instructions to change the synchronization mode.

  • How can I connect my ipod to a new computer without deleting all my music

    I just got a brand new laptop and when I connected my ipod and iphone 4 it prompts to syns a delete everything.  How can I avoid that.  I tried using the manual setting, but once I press apply it asks again to sync and delete all my music. Is there any other way to accomplish this?

    That's exactly the way it is designed to work.
    When you attempt to sync your iDevice with a new computer/library, iTunes will wipe the contents of the device and replace it with the contents from the library on the new computer.
    To avoid losing content, first copy or move the media from your old computer to your new computer.  Once this is done, the iDevice can be synced without worrying about iTunes removing the content as it can be synced back.

  • My computer got reset. How do I sync my iPod to my computer without erasing all it's contents?

    I had my iPod synced to my computer. My computer wasnt working properly, so it had to be reset.  Now when sync my iPod to my computer, it brings up that the only way to do so is to "Erase and Sync". Of course, I'd rather not result to that. Is there any other way getting songs from my computer onto my iPod??

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program lke one of those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - Connect the iPOd to the computer and make a backup by right clicking one the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include media like app and music.

  • How to connect my macbook pro to a computer-to-computer network?

    how to connect my macbook pro to a computer-to-computer network?  My home computer is a Window 8 OS.  Thx.

    The easiest way, and it may work from scratch, is to share the folders/drives you want access to on your pc, noticing what are the default parameters (eg "workgroup" etc.).
    Then, you can connect your mac directly by ethernet, for instance, and, in Finder, go to > Network, you should see the folders/drives. You may be asked to provide user/password.
    Don't get confused by regular/crossed ethernet cable, as mac can cross by software, so a regular cable will be ok.
    Anyway, either you isd modem has the ability to connect several devices (multiple ethernet sockets, or wifi), or you can buy a router, which isn't expansive.
