How do i get my new purchases to sync with my nano without having to erase everything??

I'm trying to sync my purchased songs to my nano, but it won't give the option or I can't find the option to do so without deleting everything. This is 1 of 3 computers that I have authorized for this, so I have downloaded CD's from one computer and purchased songs from 2 other computers and had no problems syncing, now I can't figure it out. I know this is probably pretty simple but this is my first Apple device.
Thanks!

Your iPod is designed to sync with only one computer/iTunes library at a time. That is, unless you manually manage the iPod's contents. See this article for more details.
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
Otherwise, if you want to continue autosyncing your iPod with iTunes, you'll want to copy everything currently on the iPod to your new iTunes library and then choose the Erase and Sync option or hit the Restore button from under the iPod's Summary tab to allow your Nano to start syncing content from the new library.

  • How can I get my new phone to sync with iTunes

    My husband got a new iPhone and we share a computer, we figured out how to create a new library but the new library does not recognize the phone in order to sync it.  How can we get the new library to sync with his phone?

    Thanks for you suggestion roaminggnome. I tried typing in 13019 like you said and it gave me a few options to try and fix it but none of them worked (of course). I fiddled around with it for a while some more on my own and some how got it to work again, lol. Thanks again though for offering a solution.

  • I synced firefox information to the servers and exchanged my laptop. How can I get the new laptop to sync with my firefox data?

    I want to get my firefox sync data on my laptop. However, I haven't paired this device, I just have my information on the firefox servers under my account. How can I get the sync info on this new laptop?

    If you don't have a 2nd device available which is already setup with your Sync account, pairing can't be done.
    In order to set up a '''new device''' when you can't "pair", you need three things; the user account name ''(email address used)'', the password for the account, and the '''Sync Key'''.
    If you didn't make a copy of the Sync Key as prompted at the end of the Sync set up process, you can't successfully setup a new device and won't be able to recover your data.

  • HT201269 How do I get my iphone 5 to sync with google calendar after having synced with my iphone 4s

    Upgraded from a iphone 4s to the 5 about a month ago.  Just realized the other day that when I placed an event in my caledar on the iphone it does not sync back to my google calendar.  It synce googe to iphone 5 but not iphone 5 to google.  Prior to my upgrading, it synced both way not problem.  How can I correct this problem?

    I think that this is just a problem within your iPhone. Try entering a new item into your calender on your iPhone. However, just before you click 'Done' , scroll lower down to the 'Calender' selection and make sure that you have selected your Google Calender and not your iPhone one.  If you do this, then you will see your new item in your iPhone and in your Google Calender - this is how I use mine!

    Shouldn't be difficult but can help if you tell us what options you picked on how you want to sync your music as there is more than on option/way.

    I don't use iCloud for such things, but I believe you go System Prefs > iCloud and check the slot by Notes. Or have you tried that?

    Yes, unless you first transfer a copy of your iTunes folder from the old computer to the new one.

  • How do I get the new iPod to work with iTunes

    I recently purchased a new iPod--I think it's the "Shuffle," whichever one retails for $150. When I plugged it into my iMac, it said I needed to install iTunes 10 to run it. When I checked for updates, it said that iTunes 9.xyz (whatever came after the 9) was the latest version.
    How do I get this new iPod to work. As you can tell, I am not much of a gadget junkie, and I'm a bit of a technology incompetent, which is why I purchased the Mac to begin with. I have an iMac, have no idea what operating system I am using--whatever came with it when I purchased it in November, 2008.
    TIA!

    Okay, I just looked and I do have 10.411. How do I upgrade to get the new iPod to work, and how much does the new operating system cost?

  • How do I get my old iphone to sync with my new Macbook Pro?

    I just bought a new Macbook Pro and was able to get all my files and such from my old computer, which was a Macbook about 4 years old. But the problem now is that when I plug in my iphone to the new computer it will not recognize the phone in my itunes. I authorized the computer for my itunes account and everything is updated I'm pretty sure... so how can I get my new computer to "accept" my iphone?

  • How do I get my Photo Stream to sync with my Windows 7 PC and my iPhone 5 after it has stopped working?

    My photo stream has always synced just fine between my Windows 7 PC and my iPhone 5. However, just a month or so ago it stopped automatically syncing. I turned it off and on in the iPhone settings in two places, deleted all the photos manually, signed out of iCloud on my PC and even uninstalled iCloud on my PC. Now it appears to be partially working. If I add or delete photos from my Photo Stream on my iPhone, the changes are reflected on my PC. However, if I delete photos or add photos to my Photo Stream folder on my PC, the changes are not reflected on my iPhone. I can delete all the pictures out from my Photo Stream on my PC but they are all still there in my Photo Stream on my iPhone. How do I get the two devices to sync properly again?

  • I have a new apple ID how do I get my new purchases to my normal itunes library

    So I have a ipad and an ipod nano. I have always downloaded music on my ipad then synced my ipod to my pc. But i had to get and new apple ID. So when I got to sync my ipod. It does it with my old account. Ive tried deleting itunes and redownloading it but that didnt work. I need to some how completly reset itunes on my pc or somehow change my id on there. But i cant find a way to do it. Please help.
    Thanks.

    I'm not quite sure what is going on or what you need to accomplish. If it's asking you to authorize your computer, you'll need to do that with both your new Apple ID and your old one. Until you do, you will not be able to sync purchases from your iPad. You authorize the computer via the Store menu in iTunes. If you have iTunes 11, which for some unfathomable reason hides the menus by default, press Control-B and you'll then see the menus.
    If that doesn't address your situation, please post back and clarify.
    Regards.
