How do i get my ipod classic to sync with my new computer?

I have downloaded itunes to my new computer and tranfered all my music over for an external hard drive, but there is no syncing when I connect my ipod. It shows up as a device, tried to move things over manually did not work either. Thanks

You can only sync with one iTunes library/computer. To switch:

I got a new computer and my IPOD will not sync with the new computer.....I have a ITUNES account on the new computer and is downloading music just fine but it will not sync to the IPOD....What should I do to sync my IPOD? thanks

Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
Attempts to sync an iDevice to a new computer will remove all content from the device and replace it with content from the new, empty library.

How can I get my iPod to also sync songs in my computer's Media Player?

How can I get my iPod to also sync songs I already have in my computer's Media Player? Thanks in advance for your help.

If the WMA files are "unprotected", iTunes can convert them when you add them to your library. It should do this automatically.
See: How to add songs from your hard drive to iTunes.
If not, see: How to convert a song to a different format using iTunes.
However, iTunes cannot convert "protected" WMA files.
The only way to convert these files would be to burn them to an "audio" cd and import that into iTunes as you would any other cd.

My ipod is not syncing with my new computer

My new tunes are showing in my new computer but not in my old computer and my ipod nano will not sync with my new computer. Especially play lists. Not even new ones. Old playlists will not sync to my new computer either.

transfer the song from the old to the new computer's iTunes.
you can use e.g. home sharing to transfer the song.

HT2305 I have a new computer with Windows 8 OS. Do I need to install drivers so that my Ipod Nano will sync with this new computer:

My daughter gave me a new Ipod (Nano) for Christmas. I had no problem download my songs from my old Ipod (Shuffle) to the new one. However - since I do not buy songs on a regular basis, I did not buy a new song until 4/29/13. Now for information...sometime in March my old laptop died, completely. I had to go buy a new one - which I did and this new one has Windows 8 Operating System on it (which I hate, btw).
Now, when I bout a song on Tuesday, the song did not go to my new Ipod. I tried everything and finally had to talk to a tech - who was very kind in helping me and we did get all my songs from Itunes to this new computer. I thought the song I bought would then go on the Ipod - but it did not. I had already hung up from the tech - since we had been talking on the phone for about an hour. He informed me that he was giving me a "courtesy break" because it has been over 90 days since my new Ipod was purchased ---- just my darn luck!
Anyway, I have figured out on my own that the new Ipod Nano is not synced with the new laptop with Windows 8. I have been trying for the last 2 hours to get it to do so and in doing so, found out that Windows 8 is not mentioned in any of the help forums. So...my question is: Do I need to install drivers on the computer or what? I will not be purchasing anymore music from Itunes until I get this matter resolved. Any help will be apreciated. Thank you.

My ipod isn't syncing with my new computer...?

I just recently got a new computer and was trying to put all my music and videos and movies and pictures and stuff on my ipod onto my new computer. When I hooked up my ipod, only the things I bought from the itunes library synced with the computer. I tried clicking sync but when I did that, it says that the ipod can only by synced with one computer (my old one) and in order to sync it with my new computer, I needed to erase everything on my ipod and then replace it with the material that will be synced from the new computer. I don't want to erase everything on my ipod because I don't want to have to lose material that I didn't buy from the itunes store, like what I uploaded from cds. Is there any way to get around this and still sync my ipod to my new computer?

Also, after I purchased a few things on my new computer from the itunes store, I can't get them onto my ipod because it says it won't sync. I've tried selecting the different files and dragging them over to the ipod section on the left of itunes but it has a little DO NOT sign on it when I try...

HT1386 I can't get my iPod Classic to sync with iTunes. My iPod Classic is up to date, and i have downloaded the latest version of iTunes. When trying to sync, it gives the message "The iPod "Brad D's iPod" cannot be synced because it cannot be found."

Do I have to un-install and re-install iTunes or do I have to restore my iPod Classic (I don't want to lose everything in my music library)?

Clicking sounds from an iPod that has a hard drive for storage is not a good thing. It usually means the hard drive is faulty. That is the likely reason for getting an error during the attempt to Restore.
If you use a Mac, you can try putting the iPod into Disk Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363
If it goes into Disk Mode, connect the iPod and instead of running iTunes, run Disk Utility. Does the iPod appear in the Disk Utility sidebar? If it does, select the iPod device in the sidebar, not the volume indented below the device (if there is one). Go to the Erase tab. Set the Format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Name does not matter. Click on Security Options and choose to write a single pass of zeros over the entire disk. This serves as a good "stress test" for the iPod's hard drive. Back on the main window, click Erase.
This takes longer than a regular erase, but you should see steady progress. If it errors out, or stalls for a LONG time (like hours), the hard drive is likely to be faulty.
If it completes successfully, quit Disk Utility, run iTunes and try to do another Restore

How can i get my ipod touch to sync with my mac & itunes?

I've already restarted and reset ALL of my settings in my ipod touch. I even erased all of my music, if that helps. I' ve updated my itunes to the latest version twice. I've restarted my mac numerous times. My ipod touch will not sync at all. It won't even show that it's charging when i have it plugged into my mac. I've also used 2 different USB connections (wires) & none of this has done the job. Help please.

I have recently copied my iTunes to a new computer using the instructions from Apple site, via an external drive. My iPod will not sync on the new computer. The option to sync automatically is greyed out and it won't let me set it. How do I resolve?

I have recently installed iTunes on a new Windows 8 laptop and copied from my old XP system using an external drive. This all went ok. The problem is that i can't get my iPod classic to sync on the new laptop. I did a factory reset and re-install. It still won't sync. When I hit the 'sync' icon it does nothing. In the Options screen the option to automatically sync is greyed out and doesn't allow me to enter anything in the box. How can i resolve this?

You need iTunes on the computer. There is no iTunes for your phone. See:

You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.

TS1425 I cannot eject my ipod classic after sync with i-tunes on my pc. It states some of the files are being used by other applications. What does this mean? How can I get it to eject?

I cannot eject my new ipod classic after sync with i-tunes on my pc due, it states, to open files being used by another application. What does this mean? How can I get my ipod to eject?

If it's a one-time "glitch," you can try restarting your computer with the iPod still connected. Try ejecting again after the restart.
If the problem recurs, you may have a process running (other than iTunes) that is accessing the iPod's storage. When connected, the iPod's "disk" is like other mounted volumes. This process may be some type of utility that continously monitors your mounted volumes for security reasons, such as to prevent access by malware.
If you know of such a program that you have running in the background, there may be a setting to exclude your iPod's disk.
