  • 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.

  • How can I sync my iPod classic with iTunes if I only have an iPad?

    How can I sync my iPod classic with iTunes if I only have an iPad?
    I recently downloaded music on my iPad via iTunes, but I can't get it to my iPod. Any help?

    You cannot. There is no iTunes application on an iPad and iPods cannot sync with an iPad.

  • How do I sync my iPod Classic w/my new home desktop so I don't lose everything on my iPod?  My old computer didn't work, so I used my work laptop to purchase songs.  I burned them to CDs

    How do I sync my iPod Classic w/my new home desktop computer so I don't lose what's on my iPod?  My old desk was trashed.  Used work laptop to purchased iTunes. Burned to CDs and downloaded to new home computer.  Now can't sync w/iPod b/c it will erase all music on iPod and don't have back up of everything on iPod.

    It is a mix. Some came from I-Tunes and the rest from CD's. I have the I-Tunes songs in my I-Tunes account, but can't sync to add new somgs to my i-pod. I would also like to move all my music to my I-Phone.

  • 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 can I sync my iPod classic to another iTunes library

    I need to sync my iPod classic to a new computer shared with my wife how can I sync my music to her library?

    Hello eddie8625,
    I would recommend enabling 'manual mode' on the iPod so that it can be synced to two libraries without affecting the existing content on the device.
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers

  • Music in the cloud; how do I sync my ipod classic?

    When i went to a mac, i moved all my music to the cloud.  now i get an error message when i want to sync my ipod classic.  if i 'erase and sync' will it erase everything on my ipod?  I have over 7700 songs and don't want to lose them!
    Thanks

    I figured so, but had to ask anyways.   You never know. 
    Yes, it seems archaic, because you are working with a much older device that has a much simpler hardware and software design compared to the newer iOS devices.

  • 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!

    A week ago some one broke our hose in the night and store out laptop
    No I have a used laptop which an iPad was synched on him in the past
    I'm trying to sync the iPod on this laptop and getting a message that it can only be synced on 1 itunes library and asking me if I want to earse this one and sync with the local library
    Of course I don't want to do so.... I have all the music there.
    I must back this up and add some more music ASAP since it's my wife's job...
    I called the local Apple importer and was told it's not possible to do it, which seams completly rediculous...
    So what now? I can't use this any more? Can't back this up and can't download this music any where?
    I don't get Apple in this matter, it's completly wired.
    Is there any solution for that? Some external software?
    Please assist ASAP it's super important!
    Thanks

  • How do I sync my iPod classic to include Genius playlists?

    I recently set up Genius playlists in my iTunes library. Liking this feature, I ASSUMED that when I attempted to stnc my library to my iPod, this feature would be added to that remote unit. WRONG. If this feature is available with my 120GB Classic, then I must have a box unchecked or checked somewhere in settings or preferences that is causing this feature to be inoperable. Can anyone help me get Genius playlists added to my iPod? Thanks.
