How do i connect my iPod touch to a new Laptop/Pc ?

When i plug my iPod into my pc and try and get it to connect to iTunes it doesn't connect and does not show 'Cieran's iPod' (Name of iPod) under iTunes Store. ?
My laptop that use to connect to my iPod and had all the data on, has now broke and i'm trying to get it on my pc instead.
Is there anyway possible i can do this.
Thanks. cieran.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
Have you failed to do this?  not good.
You can transfer itunes purchases form an ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases
You can enter a unique contact and calendar entry on the computer.  you should get the option to merge.
You can import any pics taken with the ipod, and e-mail any pics synced to the ipod to yourself.
The ipod is not a storage/backup device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which you sync.

    There is no Info tab in Mavericks
    if you use OS X v.10.8.5 or earlier. If you use OS X Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your contacts, calendars, and other info are updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud. For more information, see iCloud Help at icloud.com.

  • How do i sync my iPod touch with my new laptop?

    I use to have a dell computer with my itunes library on it. I downloaded music on the dell and synced it to my ipod touch. But, the dell computer crashed and i am unable to access my original itunes library. Now i bought a new macbook pro and would like to sync all of my music from my ipod to my new computer but i am not sure how. Itunes gives me the option to delete all music currently on my ipod or only transfer purchased items from my ipod into my new library...but not all of my songs/movies were purchased or purchased through itunes.

    Youll have to find a 3rd party program to pull your stuff off your ipod. I know there are some out there for the pc, not sure about for mac, but Im sure theres got to be. Itunes wont pull stuff off your ipod that you didnt buy from itunes, not even sure itll pull everything ya bought through itunes either.

    How do you connect an iPod touch to your Vista computer without using any Apple products

    There is no other legit way to sync your iPod than using iTunes. There is 3rd party software to transfer content from the iPod to your computer, but not from the computer to your iPod.
    Disk mode is not supported.

  • How do I connect an IPod Touch (4th Generation) to media player to sync a music playlist?

    How do I connect an IPod Touch (4th Generation) to Windows media player to sync a music playlist? It is not listed in the listing of compatible devices for Windows Media Player. And it does not recognize my IPod. It does recognize my IPod as a camera perhaps because it has pictures in it. Thank you!

    No. You can only sync an iPod from media in your iTunes library.
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
    To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device> and follow the instructions.

    Try a direct download:
    iPod, iPhone and iPad Firmware Download
    Manually install it by holding your "Option" key down when clicking on the "Restore" button in iTunes and select the firmware file you downloaded.

    You can sync with one and only one computer at a time.  Sycning to another will indeed erase the content from the ipod and replace with content from the new computer.
    You should copy everything from the old computer to the new one.
