How do I unlink Ipod from my old PC (which has crashed HDD) and link to new PC without erasing contents of my Ipod?.  Unfortunately I lost all my content (photos, music) etc from my old PC when it crashed .... but when I try and link my iPod to my new PC it wants to erase the iPod first, which obviously i don't want to do, else I lose all my content ... can anyone help?

    Hi Hannah,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The article linked below will walk you through restoring the iPhone from a previous iCloud or iTunes backup.
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

    Restore from an iCloud backup
    If you have a new iOS device, or if you need to restore your iOS device to resolve an issue, follow these steps.
    Follow the initial steps in the iOS Setup Assistant (select your language, and so on).
    Select Restore from iCloud Backup when the assistant asks you to set up your iPhone (or other iOS device).
    Select the backup you created earlier.
    You can restore a backup only by using the iOS Setup Assistant.
    If you've already set up your device, you can erase all current content to go through the iOS Setup Assistant again. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Do this only if you already have a backup, because this step will remove all current content from your device.
    Use iTunes
    Restore from a backup
    If you have a new iOS device, or if you need to restore your device to resolve an issue, follow these steps:
    Connect your iOS device to the computer that has your backup.
    Make sure this computer has the latest version of iTunes.
    Choose File > Devices > Restore from Back up.
    If you're using iTunes 10.7 or earlier, right-click the device from the list and choose Restore from Backup.

    How can I expunge my iCloud account which has become contaminated and open a new one?

    If you want to create a new iCloud account, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create the new account.  If you have any photo stream photos that you want to keep, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account.

  • Is there anyway to uninstall p/shop frrom my old laptop which has been damaged and I cannot retrieve any info and re-install it on my new laptop? thank you

    I previously purchased p/shop and had it installed on my old laptop.
    It was badly damaged and I cant retrieve anything from it without paying out a fortune to have a company try to access it.
    Is there anyway I can get p/shop uninstalled and re-install t on my new laptop?
    The old laptop is completely kaput-- doesn't even switch on?
    Thank you

    I am sorry its taken me a day or so to respond. ( My niece went into labour on the other side of the country and I have only just gotten back home)
    I would just like to say thank you so much to the kind forum members who responded with very helpful solutions.
    As a complete idiot when it comes to computers I am so grateful.
    I will speak to some friends who are much more computer savvy and will probably be able to put the suggestions into action.
    I really appreciate all the assistance as I would really like to retrieve some of the stuff from the old laptop and transfer it to my new one as I have no way to replace
    the "lost" stuff,
    Again Thank you

  • How do I move music from my old IPhone to a new one?

    My old music is from CD's that I own.  I put them on my phone a couple years ago thru Itunes with no problem.  Now it seems that Itunes will only let me add music to my phone if I buy it from them. 

    I'm using a PC, not a Mac.  My system is using Wi-Fi.  And like I say, using ITunes there is no way to upload my music to my IPhone.  Clicking on devices only gives me the option to Sync, and restore.  I've even tried backing up the old phone, which has the same name as the new one, and then restoring it to the new phone but it won't move the music to the new phone.  I checked out the ITunes Match.  Now I'm not a real bright guy but it looks like Apple wants me to pay them $25 a year to listen to my own music on my own phone.  I mean, it's not like I'm stealing anything.  I paid for the phone and I paid for the music.  Why should I have to pay them to sisten to it?

I have over 10000 songs on there which is 30.47 gb. far too much to put on my ipad air. How do I get them off my old iMac which has no internet connection ? And where do I put them. Any help would be appreciated

    No I don't have another computer. I was thinking initially I would put them on my ipad but since I don't have enough gb maybe I can store them in some cloud thing? Sorry am a bit of a Luddite when it comes to all this. I just need to have them stored someplace and accessible to play when I need to. Thanks for your help.

  • How do I unlink my iPod from my old laptop and link it to new one without wiping all the tracks off it

    How do I unlink my iPod from my old laptop (Vista) and link it to my new laptop (Windows 7) with deleting all the songs?

    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.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
