How do i unsync my iPod from the "other computers" because i can't load it onto my new mac

So apparently my ipod touch has been "synced" to 5 computers and my main one, (a dell cp) crashed and now im relying on my ipod which is acting really poorly, (Like its about to crash) and i want all my music from my ipod to my new mac. does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you!!

That thread is scary, that an iPod needs all that to maintain.
I have one iTunes Library on this computer, but two user accounts that share and use it, but that freaked out iPod Touch totally and screwed up my synch, and back to square one.
Marriage like that is draconian and bond that goes too far.
I have 5 computers sharing an ID but this says "sorry, you can't use the iPod on any but one and then only one user account."
The iPod should be more rugged, more flexible. And stop depending on one computer for mothership.
Disclaimer: I would have bought a non-Apple device until I saw HP nosedive, RIMM bleeding 1000s of workers and trying to get their OS and devices to do what I thought was not all that hard: store media filles (music, audio, text, video) and play back.

Can I unsync my ipod from the original synced computer?

Can I unsync my ipod from the original synced computer?

The five number is the number of computers that can authorized to use a single iTunes account. You can syncan unlimited number of iDevices t one iTunes account. You need to find one of the five computer that you not longer want authorized for the iTunes account and then deauthorize that computer. If you computer crashes and you have to reinstall the operating system the "old" installation still remains authorized. To cover that case Apple allows you to deauthorize all computer one a year so then you can authorize the needed computers. See:
About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization

I am selling my sons ipod and i need to reset the ipod from the itunes account because there is a password that no one remembers

I am selling my sons ipod and i need to reset the ipod from the itunes account because there is a password and no one remembers it. I am not an expert ( or even close) on the itunes stuff so I have tried everything I can see.

If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten and your device is running iOS 6 or earlier, restore the device from the computer to which the device is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the device into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
If your device is running iOS 7 and you set up Find My iPhone (iPad/iPod), however, then it has the Activation Lock on it and you'll need to enter in your Apple ID and password after erasing to be able to restore the device:

How do i remove an app from the cloud so that I can install it fresh again on my iphone5s

How do i remove an app from the cloud so that I can install it fresh again?

Your apps are not stored in your icloud account. You should be able to delete the app from the device using the wiggling icons and tap the X process and then downloading directly to device from the itunes store wirelessly. Don't do it via iTunes on your computer where a copy of the app is stored.

I just got a wireless printer and we followed the directions on how to hook it up to the iPad. Somehow it seems as if we hooed it up to the wrong printer. How do we disconnect this printer from the iPad so that we can connect the correct printer?

AirPrint finds any air print enabled printers on your wifi network, and won't find any printers that are not. So if you print from, say, safari, and it finds that printer, then that is your printer. It may have a different name than you were expecting.
Turn the printer off, and see if the print job still sees the printer. That will confirm that the one it sees is yours.
What happens when you send the print job?
If you are sharing a wifi network with others, and one of them has a AirPrint printer on the network, you will see that one. There is not way to have it forget one, so you will need to know your printer from the other printer, and select the right one.

How do I download Mountain Lion to the other computers at my home without additional cost? I downloaded 10.8 to my main IMac but have two additional computers in my home.?

How do I download Mountain Lion to the other computers at my home without additional cost? I downloaded 10.8 to my main IMac but have two additional computers in my home.?

Install 10.6.8 on the other computers. Sign into the App Store with the same Apple ID used to purchase Mountain Lion. Click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. Locate your Mountain Lion purchase entry which will show an active Install/Download button to the right of the entry. Click on it to download to the computer. If you don't wish to download Mountain Lion twice, then do this:
Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.
As an alternative to the above you can try using Lion DiskMaker 2.0 that automates the process.

I recently had to get my iPhone 4s replaced. The old phone was backed up to ICloud. I get a message when I plug this one in that it is not backed up and there isn't enough storage left to back it up. How to I remove from the other phone so I can back th

I am trying to back up my new Iphone on to ICloud. It shows I dont have enough storage because it still has stuff from the old IPhone. How can I back up this phone and erase from the other. Apple kept the other phone when they replaced it. If I hit the delete storage for the other phone (which shows up on the Icloud Icon on this phone) will I lose everything on this phone? That's what I want to avoid....

If it's corrupt, generally it would be lost.
However, there is third-party software out there that can retrieve some of the data, those of which however I could not recommend as I have never done so myself.
Also, if the old 4S was running a more recent software version than the current 4S, that may cause the issue however usually iTunes tells you exactly that.
Good luck in retrieving that information.

I am on Icloud with 2 computers cell phone and my ipod..... My question is how do I get purchased songs on my ipod from the different computers.

I am on icloud with2 computers , Ipod and iphone I want the purchased songs on each computer to download to my ipod. I thought all three devices were able to communicate from the icloud. How do I do this.....

Hello billy-the-kid,
This can be done by verifying that each device and computer is signed into the same iTunes Store account, and enabling Automatic Downloads on all of them.

How do I sync my iPod from the iTunes Music folder?

So basically, I have a bunch of bad songs on my iTunes that I would like to delete, but I want to keep the music files. I want to sync every single song I have on my computer right now (which are all currently on iTunes) to my iPod touch. The problem is, I want to delete all of the bad songs from iTunes so I only have the good songs left on iTunes and then sync them to the iPhone. So I want to have all my songs on my iPod Touch, but only the good ones on iTunes and my iPhone. So what I want to do is delete all of the bad songs from iTunes, but keep the files so that they stay on my computer. All of my songs are currently located at C:\Users\Owner\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music so if I delete all the bad songs from iTunes but click Keep Files, then all of my songs will stay retained in that folder, but will be gone from iTunes. I want to know if there is some way to sync all of the songs in my Music folder to my iPod without them being in iTunes.
Long story short, I want to put all of my entire Music folder on my iPod without using iTunes.
Thanks for any help.

Very doubtful even a majority of advanced users with multiple devices "sync" manually.
I don't.
(FYI: You don't "sync manually" You "manually manage" without syncing at all).
I have never called you names - like "advanced user" for example- I do not know or presume to know you or your habits, personally. I actually do sync manually (by clicking when I need to chose those little checkboxes), or I actually manually manage by dragging and dropping - I can do both. I also do not presume that I can teach you anything, but I can definetly help OP.
@Original Poster
Once you enable "manually manage option" and after you delete content that you don't want to have in your itunes, imagine you got something new that you want to put in your ipod. You add that movie to itunes and you instead of syncing it ( that would remove from ipod all content that is not itunes anymore.) you literally drag that movie from itunes library to the icon/image of your ipod in itunes on the left side. And it will sync only that movie/song/playlist, without affecting other things

How do i unfreeze my ipod from the loading screen on startup?

my ipod started to exit apps by itself and i took no notice because it does this sometimes. it started turning on and off again. now it is stuck on the loading screen but sometimes it switches to the apple logo but then reverts. any suggestions?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How do I unfreeze my iPod from the connect to iTunes screen??

My iPod was freezing up so I reset it, and when it loaded it went to the connect to iTunes screen. [a USB cord and the iTunes symbol] and when I tried to connect it to iTunes, it said that it couldn't connect to iTunes because it was locked with a passcode. But I can't unlock it because it is frozen on the connect to iTunes screen. Please help!!!

From iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finished, you will be asked if you wish the contents of iTunes to be copied to the iPad.
If that doesn't work, you'll need to go into Recovery Mode.
There have been some problems accessing pages on the Apple web site. If the hyperlink gives you a "We're sorry" message, try again.

TS1463 I downloaded 3 movies to watch on my IPOD Classic. One movie went to the IPOD but the other 2 said they couldn't load. Why would this happen? I am wanting to watch the movie when I travel and not on my computer at home.

Why can't I download a movie onto my IPOD Classic? One movie downloaded by 2 only went to my computer. Can I get a refund?

An iPod classic can generally play video files up to 640 by 480 pixels. The iPod's screen is actually 320x240 pixels, but it will play 640x480 videos (that are in a compatible format).
However, "HD" (high def) videos are at a higher resolution than 640x480. Apple often provides both the HD and SD (standard def) versions of the video, when you download it. The SD version should work with iPod classic. If a video is in HD only, it won't play on iPod so you can't sync it to iPod.
There is a command in iTunes to convert the video. Select video on the iTunes library list. Go up to Menu Bar. Under Advanced, select Create iPod or iPhone Version. After converting completes (which can take some time), try syncing that version to your iPod. NOTE: Some videos in iTunes may not allow conversion due to copy protection (DRM).
