How do i get my itunes to recognize my replacement ipod?

i just got my new replacement ipod today, and i plugged it into my computer, and the screen is flashing "Do Not Disconnect." but my itunes is not showing any sign of recogniton with my new ipod. how do i get the program to realize that the ipod is connected, so that i can put all of my music onto it?

Whe it says "Do Not Disconnect" and doesn't show up in iTunes, it will probably show up under "My Computer" as a removable hard drive.
If it does, right click on it, and choose eject.
If it doesn't show up there, shut down the computer, once it has powered off the iPod should no longer say "Do Not Disconnect"

    Many thanks lllaass,
    The Touch Copy third party software for PC's is the way to go it seems and although the demo is free, if you have over 100 songs then it costs £15 to buy the software which seems not a lot to pay for peace of mind. and restoring your iTunes library back to how it was.
    Cheers

    What version of iTunes are you running on your computer? You need to update to the current version.

    If you have an iPhone 5, you need iTunes 10.7.

  • I have created separate user accounts for my 2 boys on my macbook. How do i get my itunes library onto their new ipods?

    I have created separate user accounts for my 2 boys on my macbook. How do i get my itunes library onto their new ipods?

    They can't.  Which came first - the chicken or the egg?  Actually, that's a bad comparison but a sync must come first.
    The library is actually part of iTunes and it contains everything.  iTunes is then configured so that you (or they) determine which portion of everything will be synced to each iPod (identified by a unique name, see below for an example of an iPod and an iPad).  iTunes can't make that decision until AFTER it knows which iPods exist.
    By the way, I (you, they) can very easily change the name of each device to whatever I (you, they) wish to call it.

  • How do you get previous Itunes pruchases onto a new Ipod without syncing it to the laptop?

    I've been in Australia for over a year, my previous Ipod broke so a purchased a new Ipod touch this year. However, as my Itunes library is on my laptop back in the UK, I'm a little depleted of music on this Ipod. Is it possible to get previous Itune purchases onto my Ipod here in Australia without me flying home, or worse still having the laptop sent over? I've kept all my Itunes receipts.

    Try here:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    you might not be able to get some items back since yuo are in a differenrt country now.

  • How can i get my itunes to recognize itunes on an external drive

    My itunes for some reason doesn't recognize my external drive
    It has done so for years and NOW it doesn't ... I need help.
    Greg

    As far as i know, itunes stores the artwork information in the same file as the music itself.
    So if you configured iTunes correctly to use the library on your external disc, that should work.

    No.
    It is a hold Option and launch iTunes.
    Select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the external drive situation.
    I now fire up iTunes on the MBP, in the Advanced Pref I point the iTunes Media folder location to the new external HD:  /Volumes/iTune New/iTunes.
    Don't do this...
    But it really looks like you messed up something.
    In the iTunes folder you seem to have all your music folders.
    Your iTunes folder should have only these items...

  • Help! How do I get my iTunes music back onto my iPod?

    We had to format our hard drive; when I connected my iPod afterward, all of my songs were erased. The music I purchased is listed in my iTunes purchase history, but I don't know how to get it back onto my iPod.
    Can anyone help me to get it back?

    You'll need the assistance of some sort of third party software.  See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering a few different possiblities.
