How do i sync my ipod touch to a new pc, as i can no longer get on my old laptop.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
Have you failed to do this?  not good.
You can transfer itunes purchases form an ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases
You can enter a unique contact and calendar entry on the computer.  you should get the option to merge.
You can import any pics taken with the ipod, and e-mail any pics synced to the ipod to yourself.
The ipod is not a storage/backup device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which you sync.

    You can sync with one and only one computer at a time.  Sycning to another will indeed erase the content from the ipod and replace with content from the new computer.
    You should copy everything from the old computer to the new one.

  • How do i sync my iPod touch with my new laptop?

    I use to have a dell computer with my itunes library on it. I downloaded music on the dell and synced it to my ipod touch. But, the dell computer crashed and i am unable to access my original itunes library. Now i bought a new macbook pro and would like to sync all of my music from my ipod to my new computer but i am not sure how. Itunes gives me the option to delete all music currently on my ipod or only transfer purchased items from my ipod into my new library...but not all of my songs/movies were purchased or purchased through itunes.

    Youll have to find a 3rd party program to pull your stuff off your ipod. I know there are some out there for the pc, not sure about for mac, but Im sure theres got to be. Itunes wont pull stuff off your ipod that you didnt buy from itunes, not even sure itll pull everything ya bought through itunes either.

  • My computer was stolen. How do I sync my ipod touch with my new computer without wiping all the music

    My laptop was stolen and now when I try to sync my music it wants to wipe my ipod touch 5th generation. How do I get around this ?

    There are quite a few third party apps that will copy media from the ipod to the computer. Try searching the cnet downloads site or other reputable sites.

  • How do I sync my iPod Touch to a new account without losing playlists?

    Hey, everyone. Recently, one of my computers, which I used to sync my iPod to, crashed. Luckily, my music was backed up on another computer, but the playlists, apps, etc. were not. Is there a way for me to download my playlists and such onto this new computer without deleting the music (some of which isn't currently on my iPod; the library is too large for all songs to fit on the iPod)? I'm leaving on a road trip early tomorrow morning and I'd really appreciate it if you all could help me out before then so I can have some great music for the road!

    P.S. My iPod is a second-generation, and my computer is a PC with Windows XP. The version of iTunes that I have is pretty new, but my iPod hasn't been updated in a while, if that makes any difference. A quick fix would be awesome because of the previously mentioned time constraints

    You can transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer

    - You can also redownload iTunes purchases by:

  • How do I sync my iPod now that they updated iTunes and I can no longer find anything!?

    I found > FILE > DEVICES > SYNC
    But anything after devices doesn't work. It's light grey and not clickable...
    It won't sync automatically...
    [Aside...
    Why can't they update in a way that makes things MORE user-friendly, not LESS :-(
    Every time they update, it's worse... What's up... ]

    Does iTunes see the iPod?
    If not then:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Or
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or                     
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
    iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
    Also see:
    iPod not recognised by windows iTunes
    Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates
    - Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem
    Otherwise backup to iTunes and restore from that backup

  • I tried to sync my iPod touch to a new laptop and it deleted all of my music and videos. I called tech support and they told me to email iTunes and they would give it back to me. How do I do this??

    I  tried to sync my iPod touch to a new MacPro laptop and it deleted all of my music and videos. I called tech support and they told me to email iTunes and they would give it back to me. How do I do this??

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

    how do i sync my ipod touch with my computer without erasing all of the music already on the ipod

    Sanmannyer, just what are you smoking? iTunes can sync non-iTunes purchased music to any iPod and iOS devices (iPod touch, iPhone and iPad) as long as it is not DRM protected.
    Would y plase stop posting incorrect information.

  • Whenever I try to sync my ipod touch, it doesn't work.  The computer seems to get hung.  What could be happening?

    Whenever I try to sync my ipod touch, it doesn't work.  The computer seems to get hung during the back up stage.  It says it is backing up the ipod but nothing happens, for hours.  I eventually have to interrupt it and give up.

    I have the latest itunes.
    I tried resetting sync history.
    For this section:
    If the issue persists, and you know all your contacts, calendars, bookmarks and notes are on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
    Remove all of the contact and calendar information from Outlook.
    Select the device in iTunes and click the Info tab.
    Scroll down to the Advanced section, and under "Replace information on this iPhone/iPad/iPod touch" make sure Contacts and Calendars are not selected.
    Click Apply.
    This doesn't seem to make sense for my situation.  I don't sync anything between outlook and my ipod touch. 
    I have no other USB devices connected to my computer.
    I have no other Windows users on my computer - only me and I am the administrator.  However on my diagnostic, it said this user is not the administrator.  Weird.
    So I have tried to follow that you referred me to, but still I haven't got it working yet.  Do you have any further suggestions?
