How do i get a different mac computer to recognize my ipod?

I have recently gone to college and did not take the computer that I had used at home, which happened to be a dell, and now I am using an iMac. When i tried to plug in my iPod shuffle a window popped up saying that it had to delete all the songs to recognize the iPod in iTunes. How can I make this computer to recognize my iPod without deleting all my songs?

You can't, it is designed to work with only one computer/library.
After you tell it no, you can download 3rd party software (such as el ipodo) that will let you copy the songs as files to the mac, Add them to the Library, then, if you want to use iTunes, connect the Shuffle again and say Yes to link it. Your songs will be on the Mac and you can copy them back to the Shuffle.

    Hello Warren,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPod nano.  It sounds like your iPod nano is not being recognized in iTunes on your Windows computer.  I found an article with steps to address this:

  • How do I get a new replacement computer to recognize my itunes media folder already installed on a home network drive?

    My computer crashed and I have replaced it.  But I haven't been able to get itunes on the new computer to recognize the itunes media folder that holds all my music on a home networked drive.  How do I link them back together?

    Was the library database stored or backed up to the networked drive? If so you can hold down shift as you start iTunes to reconnect to the database, otherwise you'll have to rebuild the library with the content.
    See How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one.
    For the future see this backup User Tip.

  • I partitioned a small drive for a windows program, and now the computer only wants to boot to Windows.  How do I get back to Mac so I can have a choice of drives?

      I partitioned a small drive for a windows program, and now the computer only wants to boot to Windows.  How do I get back to Mac so I can have a choice of drives?

    That doesn't sound good. It sounds like the power outage might have corrupted the partition for OS X. I would suggest booting from the Install DVD that came with your Mac while holding down the C key. Once you have selected the language start up Disk Utility from the pull down menu and repair the disk. Once you have done that then repair permissions also.

  • TS2972 I have 4 Apple TV's. All set up to Home share. One will not see the computer. It is also the only 720 I have. The other three are 1080's. How do I get the 4th one (the720) to recognize my Mac?

    Need more information to help you, but I am providing some suggestions.  Sorry if you are past these type of basic things.  But didnt really have much to start with and understand your technical level to start with. 
    Have you got into Settings > Computers > Turned on Home Sharing (Note: You must use the some Apple ID used by the iTunes library on your MAC for them to see one another)
    How is your MAC connected to the network vs the 720 ATV2?  Is one WiFi and the other Ethernet?  Have you tried switching the ATV2 to WiFi if Ethernet? 
    Has the MAC been restarted since this started happening?  Same with your Router and any other networking device being used?  Sometimes an IP conflict can arise in your networking and most consumer networking equipment does not know how to "self heal" without a reboot. 
    Make sure you have given those things a whirl and share back your results.  Any other information you can provide, such as how you connect to your network from each ATV and MAC.

    You don't need to manually put iTunes Store purchases in the cloud. If that purchase can be stored there in your country, it's done so upon purchase. If not, it isn't possible.

  • I was able to copy all my files from my Time Capsule, but that is all they are...files. How do I get my new Mac Mini to emulate my other Mac?

    I was able to copy all my files from my Time Capsule, but that is all they are...files. How do I get my new Mac Mini to emulate my other Mac?

    Doggiemommie,
    Copying files is not a good idea.
    The "other Mac" was backed up onto Time Capsule using the Time Machine. On your new Mac you should restore the old user - rather than copy files manually.
    This usually happens during the initial setup of the new computer or you can do it later using Migration Assistant.
    Please note, it is possible to damage backup file on the Time Capsule when you browse it and copy files manually.
    Hope this explains.

    You have to have Mac OS X Mountain Lion installed on your MacBook, however the only way to get it right now is if you are a developer.
    Other than that, you will have to wait until it is officially released.

    Hello Rachel_Bouzo
    The main thing is to update your Mac with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later and you will have an option to use the app Messages. Just add the account there and yo are good to go.

    By upgrading to OS X Lion 10.7.2 or higher (required for iCloud).  First check to see if your system meets the system requirements to upgrade.
    Lion system requirements are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Mountain Lion requirements are shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5444.
    If you can run Mountain Lion, you can purchase an upgrade from the Mac App Store.  If you can only run Lion, contact the online store in your country and purchase a download code to download it from the Mac App Store.
    After upgrading, you will find iCloud in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, and can set it up as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
    Before upgrading, you may want to check the compatibility of your existing programs by checking here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table.
