  • How can I sync my ipod 6g. to a new computer with out losing all the info

    My computer is starting to fail so I bought a new one. How do I sync my ipods they are 6 gen to the new computer with out losing all the data that is on the ipod?

    Was your iPod previously set up to Manually Manage (where you dragged/dropped the music) or was it set to auto sync (where it started sycning as soon as you plugged it in.)?
    If it was set to Manual, you have no worries. Just continue on your way.
    If it was set to Auto, you will have to transfer your purchases or redownload them from the iTunes store.
    You're either going to have to get the other music back from the websites/CDs you got them from before or find an iPod ripping software program that will do it for you.

  • How do I synce my Ipod to a new computer that isnt the one that I originally synced with?

    How do I sync my Ipod to a new computer that isnt the one that I originally synced with?

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like on of those discussed here:
    newer copy
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

  • How do I sync my iPod onto a new computer?

    I want to sync my iPod onto my new computer with my new music and new pictures. But I dont want any of my apps and videos taken with the iPod to be deleted. What can I do to ensure that I dont loose any of my data, but get all the new data I want to sync?

    Ipod will sync pics and itunes content with one and only one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    Copy everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

    it will backup your Libary file, which contains all of your playlists and what not. Good luck ^.^

  • I have just changed my computer as my old one died... but now cannot access my old itunes account so i have set up a new one with another email address. how can I sync my ipod to my new computer without wiping all my music ?

    I have just tried to sync my ipod to a new computer as my old one died but as I cannot remember my previous log in I created a new itunes account. I now want to sync but it says it will wipe my music off my ipod. Does anyone know how I can do this now ?

    If you have purchases on your iPod Shuffle that you want to sync back to iTunes, but are under the Apple ID you no longer have access to, you'll need to reset that account information. You can use this link to reset your password.
    https://iforgot.apple.com/
    If that doesn' work or help, you'll need to contact iTunes support and have them walk you through the process of resetting the older account information.  Once you know the email and password again, you can authorize your new computer and transfer any purchases from this account back to iTunes.
    For all non-iTunes purchased content, you'll need to the assistance of some sort of third party software that is not supported by Apple. 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.

    I found this post from a long time ago:
    iTunes will only give you the option to copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads etc) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

  • How do I sync my iPod to a new computer without erasing all of the data and starting my library over?

    I had a PC that crashed and recently bought a MacBook to replace it.  When I tried to import the music from my iPod to my MacBook I got the error message that iPods can only be synced to one computer at a time and I was then given two options: either erase the data currently on my iPod and allow it to sync to the new computer or transfer previous purchases.  I cicked transfer previous purchases but not all of my music transferred.  How can I get ALL of my music on my iPod to transfer to my MacBook??
