How Do I Install I Tunes on a new Computer and sync with Existing ipod?

My desktop crashed and I lost everything including my iTunes. I downloaded iTunes on my new laptop but when I try to sync it with my iPod it says it is already registered to another iTunes and asks me if I want to delete everything off of my iPod to register it. Obviously I don't want to loose all of the songs on my iPod but need to have iTunes to download more songs onto it.

  • Installing i-tunes on a new laptop and my library has disappeared ... help!

    ... in installing i-tunes on my new laptop and taking all the the latest upgrades has resulted in my i-pod being wiped clean. I still have the music on an external drive (although I think I can kiss goodbye to the playlists).
    I have copied the music files in their i-pod set up folders in to the right directory on the c:drive but the i-tunes software doesn't pick it up and still says the library is empty. I have also been to edit / preferences / advanced and tried changing the folder to recognise the external drive (which is how I had it set up on the old laptop as I ran out of hard disk capacity) but this hasn't worked either.
    Can anyone out there help me find a way of getting I-tunes to recognise these files so I can see them in the library .. and then I assume I can re-synch the i-pod and get them back without having to reload 5000 songs. Even better is there anyway of recovering my original configuration and then I won't have to redo the playlists either
    Look forward to hearing from you
    many thanks

    Well, unfortunately, the external hard drive only stores the music files. The playlists will have been on the old machine, easily recoverable, or on the iPod, possibly recoverable.
    As it is, you may just have to rebuild your library, foregoing your playlists, ratings, etc.
    To do this, go to edit\prefs\advanced, and make sure the following settings are selected:
    DO NOT copy to iTunes folder when adding to library
    DO NOT keep iTunes folder organized
    Now, go to the external, and drag the entire music folder into iTunes.
    Then, go back to edit\prefs\advanced, and change the folder back to the external.

    In the future, consider occasionally saving the two library files (.xml, .itl) from My Music\iTunes to the external.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 &amp; above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • I installed photoshop cs6 in my new computer and when it asks me for my serial number I write it but it wont accept it

    I installed photoshop cs6 in my new computer and when it asks me for my serial number I write it but it wont accept it

    There are two steps when entering a serial number:
    When you enter it in the 24-digit field, you should see a green checkmark. If you see a red x, you may have mis-typed the number, as Ben pointed out, it could be for a suite instead of a standalone product.
    If it takes the number and installs, then activation is the next step. If it fails to activate, you may have exceeded your activations or the number might have been retired.
    In that case, contact Customer Care with proof of purchase.
