How do I use a new computer with same old iPod?

Before I knew about the problem of switching computers I purchased some new songs from iTunes on my new computer, but using my old login. It allowed me to purchase and upload the songs to my new computer, but it won't let me put them onto the iPod.(?!#@) In retrospect, I suppose I should've created a new iTunes user account for the new computer, but since I didn't, does anyone know how I can get these songs onto my iPod? Or am I just out the 25 bucks?
Going forward, should I create a new user account for my new computer? If so, how do I do that? I just want to be able to purchase and upload songs and transfer them to the iPod. There must be a way. Thanks for any tips/advice.

I figured it out. I just needed to "authorize" my new computer.

Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
- Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
- Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
To move mdia to the new computer see:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

How can I use a new computer without deleting everything on iPod?

Hey Guys
I need a bit of help.
My old computer died, it was running Windows XP. I've got myself a new computer running Windows 7.
I have a copy of my iTunes folders from my old computer (taken 2 days before it died)
How can I use a new computer without deleting everything on iPod touch?
I've imported all the folders (music, apps etc) into the new computer's iTunes, but when I sync my iPod
I receive a window asking if i want to sync i need to erase and replace with the iTunes library on the computer.
I particularly don't want to do this.
My wife also uses my iTunes for her iPhone.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Backup. Then restore the iPod from that backup and sync as necessary.

I cant download new music to my ipod. I am now using a new computer with Windows 8.

I cant download new music to my ipod. I am now using a new computer with Windows 8. Itunes is now on the new computer. New songs apear there and will play on the computer.

I plugged my ipod into the computer, it "interacted" briefly, but when finished, the new songs were not on the ipod. (It is an older ipod I have had for years). I just read on a different post how to access the latest itunes program update. I did that, then plugged the ipod into the computer again. The ipod is now real busy interacting with the computer a lot longer. Maybe that fixed it. I will let you know after it is finished. Thanks for the help!

Using my new computer for my ipod music

I just bought a new computer but I have an ipod that is full of my music. How can I use my new computer as the main source for my ipod library without losing all the songs on my ipod now?

hi adugan,
for future posts you are probably better to get results from here:
iPod Discussions
but what I had to do when I got my new computer is this:
plug my iPod into my older computer( the one that is authorized with the iPod ) and dump all the songs back to iTunes ( only the ones that are not already there ). once you are SURE you have back-up'd your iPod tunes then go to next step.
start itunes and plug your iPod into your computer, when itunes prompts you to erase or delete and use this ipod on this computer, accepted it. Make sure you check to see if there is any updates for your iPod using iTunes iPod Tabs.
Hope this helps...

HT5622 How can I authorize a new computer (with windows 8) without deauthorizing my other computers (windows 7) . Under manage your account the only choice given is to deauthorize all computers already authorized

I just bought a new computer with windows 8. I have 2 other computers (windows 7) authorized for itunes. When I go to manage your account the only choice I am give is to deauthorize all computers. There is no place from which to authorize this new computer or to deauthorize the 1 computer that is dead rather than both. Suggestions appreciated

To authorize the Windows 8 computer, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.
It isn't possible to individually deauthorize a computer which is dead or which you don't have either physical or network access to.

New computer with old Ipod touch 2nd Gen.

New computer, old Ipod, how do I add my music to my new computer from my Ipod?

The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
Just use your backup copy. This is one of the many reasons that always maintaining a backup is basic.

Question about using a new computer with ipod

i was using my ipod nano on my computer and it was working fine. than we found out that we needed to get a new computer. so i plugged in my ipod to charge the battery than i downloaded itunes.(on the new computer) i didn't download any ipod software. at first it didn't do anything. than it recognized my ipod with all the music. i didn't have to make copies of songs, and i didn't have to download any ipod software. how come i didn't get the message about it being linked to a different library? (not that i'm complaining, i'm just wondering)
thanks

Is your iPod set to update manually? In that case you don't get the warning that it is linked to another library. Also you don't have to have the iPod Updater installed to use your iPod, you only need it to update or restore your iPod's software.

How do I authorize my new computer with Windows 8?

I recently recieved a new computer (A notebook PC) with windows 8 and I decided that I would like for it to have all of my purchases from Itunes on it. I promptly downloaded the app, signed in, and attempted to download my music from my account. Then a message appeared stating that only authorized computers could download previous purchases from my account. I went to the website in search of a way to authorize this new computer, but to no avail. I was wondering if anyone could help me authorize my computer so that I can finally listen to my music. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks!

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

How do I use find my iPhone with a iPod Touch 3g?

l I tried using it on a friends iPod Touch, because I lost mine. I tried regestring but It didn't work, to my dismay I learned that MobileMe was closed to new subscribers. I tried doing it on iCloud, but iCloud is only for iOS 5. So how do I register findmyiPhone with a iPod Touch 3g?
Or did Apple Screw me over on this one? (Sorry, you'd be ****** to if someone stole an iPod you left on a table when you were going to the bathroom.)

Sorry, but Apple didn't screw you. You screwed yourself. See, there's no point putting a lock on your door after the burglars have left.
