TS1382 I have a new computer, how do I sync my Ipod Classic to the new computer

I have a new Dell computer, how do I sync my Ipod Classic to the new computer

Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
Or better yet, if you still have access to the old computer, use one of the method described in this article copy everything from the old PC to the new one.

How do I install Boot Camp drivers without the Mac OS disc?

When I installed OS X Lion for my Macbook Pro, I purchased it off the Apple Store (so I don't have the disc.)
Is there any way possible to download the drivers I need without the disc?

there is a guide when you launch boot camp assistant, and the faqs articles how-to and manual are

In fact the above and change the last /..... to product name is usually your best first stop for help. And Help menu in program, like Boot Camp Assistant of course, will as well!!

How do I install a printer driver, without the printer?

You see, I don't want to print anything.
I am using some CAD software and I use the “create PDF” function of the printer dialogue to make a PDF. The problem is my drawing is quite large so I need to install a printer driver for a printer that handles larger paper (Epson 1280). I have the driver, but it refuses to install without the printer being attached to it.

I didn't post one.

How do I enable an iPod touch without the original sync'ed computer? (and keep the music and files)

My iPod got disabled, but my computer is broken so all I have is a computer that isn't sync'ed to my iPod. Everytime I connect it to the computer, it tells me to respond on the iPod so I can sync it, however I can't respond on the iPod; it being disabled and all. I want to enable it without actually restoring it so I can keep all my music and pictures. If my music is deleted from my iPod, I won't get it back anytime soon due to my broken computer. Also, I can't use iCloud to get my music because most of it is from cd's and not connected to iCloud, so I really don't want to loose it.

Yo have to restore and thus erase the iPod. It is a security feature
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

After restoring, you MAY be able to get SOME data off the iPod

How to find where an ipod is without the serial number

HELP PLZZ

The serial number will not help.
If you enabled "find my iPod" in Settings, you can use iCloud. Its location will be determined when it connects to a wireless network, presuming the network's location is also known.

How do I populate my iPod classic from iCloud without first downloading to my Mac (there is not enough space on my Mac)?

I have approximately 16G free on my iMac. All of my music (20,000+ tracks) is in the cloud.
I want to entirely fill my iPod Classic (160G) but I cannot free up enough interim storage on my iMac. Is there a way to load the iPod Classic without physically downloading to my iMac first?
In other words, I understand I need to connect the classic to iTunes on my Mac, but can I load the iPod Classic from iCloud, through iTunes without downloading first.
Thank you

Thanks - Unfortunately I figured that out yesterday. I tried downloading a bit at a time and populating the iPod. I had hoped that when I deleted it from local it wouldn't really dissappear from the ipod and I could download a bit more. as you likely already know, that didn't work.
Rats.
I deleted my iPhoto libraray and videaos and that made space for the 20,000+ tracks. About 18,000 fitted on the 160GB iPod.
Now I have to restore the iPhoto library and videos.
A lot of work...
Thaks,

How can I sync my iPod Classic with iTunes 11.1.4 and Windows 7 64-bit?

After assistance from ‘b Noir’ (and losing--then finally regaining--my DVD/CD reader in the process), I finally installed the iTunes Version 11.1.4 update on my Windows 7 64-bit PC. So I am again able to import music from CDs, play music on my PC with iTunes, and burn CDs as I could do with previous iTunes versions. Then, however, I purchased some new music and tried to sync iTunes with my iPod Classic for the first time since the update to 11.1.4. So far, I have been spectacularly unsuccessful. Can anyone help me?
With previous iTunes versions, sync was automatic when I connected iPod to a USB port. Now when I connect iPod Classic to PC's USB port (I've tried two different ports), iPod’s screen says “Connecting” but iTunes doesn’t open. And while iPod is connected to the USB port, I can't open iTunes by right-clicking its icon and selecting “Open.” (ITunes, however, always opens OK if iPod is NOT connected). With the iPod connected to a PC's USB port, I opened Windows 7 “Devices and Printers.” Devices shown included both (a) the “Apple iPod USB Device” and (b) “Apple Mobile Device USB Driver.” I right-clicked each of these device icons in turn and selected “troubleshoot.” Both times, the report was “Troubleshooting couldn’t identify the problem.”
I am also unable to properly “eject” the iPod. I tried ejecting (a) from the Windows taskbar's Notification Area, (b) from Windows “Devices and Printers” and (c) by right clicking the iTunes icon and selecting “Eject.” Nothing worked, so I reluctantly pulled the cable out of the iPod without ejecting. That causes a yellow triangle with an exclamation point to appear in “Devices and Printers” for my PC—which disappears after shutting down and rebooting the PC.
If I start iTunes and THEN connect the iPod Classic to the USB port, iTunes does nothing and almost instantly freezes (shows as “not responding” in Windows Task Manager and I have to close it via Task Manager).
Suggestions, please, on what I need to do? My iPod Classic continues to work just fine, but I can't put any of my newly purchased music on it and I guess it will become an expensive paperweight if the battery happens to run down. If nothing else, is there an old version of iTunes I can download somewhere that likely will work with the iPod Classic and my PC setup? Thanks so much!

Hi turingtest2,
Thanks so much for your response--yes, I've seen the TS1363 document.
I was able to open iTunes, start the iPod Diagnostic Device Connectivity Test, and connect the iPod when prompted to do so. The only problem reported by the diagnostic program was "No iPod, iPhone or iPad found." So it does seem as if the TS1363 document should apply. But I have tried connecting the iPod after executing each of Steps 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 9 shown there and nothing has worked so far. Details follow:
--Went through the iPod Classic troubleshooting assistant--except I did not "reset" the iPod (because having all my "old" music available on the iPod has value to me).
--Restarted iPod Service.
--Restarted Apple Mobile Device Service.
--Verified that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed. There is no down arrow or question mark or other indication of problem with it.
--Tried two different USB ports (I assume that is what is meant by "change your iPod's drive letter"?).
--Temporarily disabled Norton Antivirus.
For some reason, there are 368 files and 60 folders in the Temp folder under my user name, and it looks like at least some are "read-only." Windows wouldn't let me delete or move the folder, even after I turned off Norton AntiVirus and closed the programs in the "Notification Area" that I could figure out how to close.
I'm very reluctant to get into messing with Config files or registry keys. And I have already tried uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes 11.4.1 so many times. I'm not sure what to do but am considering uninstalling all of the Apple products (again) and try installing an older version of iTunes. Or maybe I should try to install iTunes 11.4.1 on our Windows 8 laptop and see if the iPod will connect to that (although I really need to be able to sync to my desktop PC). Probably won't have time to do either for a few days--too many other things to do. But please let me know if there's something more that's relatively simple and low-risk I could try. Thanks again!

Please help!

Was your iPod previously set up to Manually Manage (where you dragged/dropped the music) or was it set to auto sync (where it started sycning as soon as you plugged it in.)?
If it was set to Manual, you have no worries. Just continue on your way.
If it was set to Auto, you will have to transfer your purchases or redownload them from the iTunes store.
You're either going to have to get the other music back from the websites/CDs you got them from before or find an iPod ripping software program that will do it for you.

How can I authorize an iPod Classic with my own Apple ID?

How can I authorize an iPod Classic with my own Apple ID? It belonged to someone else so presumably it has been authorized with another id. Your help and answers are much appreciated.

To make sure the file system is closed properly iPod classics should be ejected from the iTunes interface, or if iTunes isn't running, using the "Safely remove hardware" tool. That message is a standard warning. If the device shows up in iTunes you can configure the selection of media content that you want to sync to it and press the sync button to start the process. iTunes may spend quite a long time "thinking" before any tracks are copied over.
If you think there might be something wrong with the device itself see Corrupt iPod classic for some troubleshooting tips.

My daughter bought an 4th generation ipod classic without a charger. We are using the charger from an ipod touch and it won't charge. Someone posted online that not all chargers will work on the classic. Anyone else have this issue and any suggestions?

My daughter bought a 4th generation ipod classic without a charger. The ipod was working just fine, but then we tried to charge it using a brand new charger for an Ipod Touch. It won't charge and someone online someone posted that there ipod touch charger worked on the ipad, phone and whatever else he had but it wouldn't work on the classic. Anyone else have this same issue? Any solutions?

The ipod did not come with a power cord as we purchased it used from ebay. The ipod was half charged when we received it and it worked well enough to transfer songs to my computer (the previous seller didn't delete their 2000 plus songs). My son then used the same cord on his computer to transfer the songs, but processed an update to the ipod and after that,it wouldn't work. So, I'm not sure if we received a bum ipod, an update issue or we have a charger issue, but the cord we used to transfer the songs came from my son's brand new ipod touch. We've also tried 2 other chargers from ipods we have in the house, 1 being a wall charger.
One individual posted online that he took his ipod classic, mac and phone overseas with one charger and it worked fine on all but the classic. So, I'm thinking that they cords may not be universal. Online I've read that it must be a 6 pin firewire, high power 2.0 usb cord. Or that I need to purchase an applie charger. We don't live close to an apple store and I'm reluctant to order one just to have it NOT work.
My daughter is learning the hard way that buying off of ebay is not always the best solution to a cash strapped 12 year old.
Any other advice is greatly appreciated.

How do I sync my Ipod Classic 160gb with my new computer (windows 8). It synced with my old computer (windows XP) but not with my new one (windows8)

How do I sync my Ipod Classic 160gb with my new computer (Windows8).? It synced with my old computer (WindowsXP) but will not do so on the new computer?

Hi Lechwe,
I had this issue recently, due to changing HD for an SSD.
In my case, since the library in my iPod was synced to the HD it was not syncing to the library in the SSD, though they were the same (had the same contents).
I found there's this checkbox in iTunes > iPod > [Settings] Music, called "Sync Music". Mine was unchecked, I guess due to iPod being synced to the old library. I marked the checkbox and clicked then in Sync. iTunes asked me if I was sure I wanted to sync the iPod with the "new" library, i clicked yes, and the it started determining the song to sync. Since the library was essentially the same (just a couple songs more in the new one), it synced the couple new songs and that was it.
Hope it helps!
Regards,
Awlo.
