How do you backup an ipod on a different computer

How do you backup music on a different computer than what was used to sync the iPod.
When I Control-click on the iPod  in iTunes under Devices I do not see Back Up but Transfer Purchases.  When selected it did not transfer all music on the iPod.  I'm trying to perform a Restore to troubleshoot the iPod (the controls wheel is not working).

  • How do you backup your ipod to a new computer?

    I just got a new computer and hooked my Ipod up to it thinking I could readily back it up to my computer.  I keep getting a message that it's already linked to another computer - that would be the dead computer.
    Is there any way to easily make this transfer.  Almost 100% of my music is from my CD collection and I really do not want to have to load them again.

  • How do you put your iTunes on a different computer

    I have iTunes for our iPhones, iShuffle and iPad 2 which I have, my computer is on it's last leg and I have bought a new computer my question is how do I switch everything over to the new computer with loosing everything I have bought for our system. My son has Austim and is non-verbal and one of the programs is how he talks I want to nake sure I do not mess that up. Thank you

    Copy the songs onto an external hard drive or a USB flash drive. From their copy them to each new computer. Once they are there, add them to the library on each new computer. If the music contains any "protected" files from the iTunes Store, authorize each laptop to the account(s) from which the songs were originally purchased.

  • TS3992 How do you backup your iPod to iCloud?

    I just got a new computer and I'm trying to transfer my iTunes library from my old computer to my new one. I want to back my iPod up to iCloud to possibly be able to do this. I keep getting an "Account not verified' message. When I check my e-mail to verify the account, there are no messages that would allow me to do so. I've checked the e-mail address and password numerous times and they are accurate. I don't know what else to try. Any Suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

  • How do I backup an ipod touch on a computer w/o doing everything separately and w/o using a cloud?

    My daughter has games and music on her touch.  I just want to back it up on our computer.  It seems you have to do each component in a different way and it also seems it has to be on a cloud.  These can't be the only options.  I just want to create a backup so if the iPod crashes we can reload everything.  How can I accomplish that in the quickest way.  I'd like to set this backup up so that in the future we can quickly and easily create it again via synching.

    iTunes places the backup file here:
    Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
    The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac:~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press theReturn key.
    Yes, if something happens to the iPod, you can restore the iPod from backup.
    You can copy the iTunes library as a backup by:
    iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
    You can also save the iPod backup there incase there is a problem with the computer.
    Using the information in my first reply you can backup to you computer and transfer iTunes purchases to your computer as wll as to hers. You do not need iCloud.
    If you have non-iTunes music on the iPod you will need a third-party program to transfer/copy them to a computer. Some are discussed here:

  • How do you have two iPods on the same computer?

    Hi everyone, I previously had an iPod mini installed on my computer. Then at Christmas my parents got me an iPod nano, and when I tried to install it on this computer, it made me delete all of the files from my iPod mini. I was then able to download my nano, and everything has been working out fine. However, my dad wants to get an iPod now, and I don't know what to do in order to keep both of our iPods on the computer. Can you please tell me how?

    My family just got a new mac, and now itunes tells me i have to delete everything on my ipod before i can add it. Please help.

    That is correct.
    Copy everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old computer, to the new one, then sync.

  • TS1382 How do you unlock an Ipod? It's our old Ipod and we forgot the number.

    How do you unlock and Ipod?

    Assuming the computer is a PC, see the following to get the iPod to appear in iTunes.
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    One you get iTunes t see the iPod, place the iPod n recovery mode and then restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    Since it is not your syncing computer, there is not way to prevent erasing your iPod and starting anew.  When you get back to your syncing computer, restore the iPod from the backup on that computer.
