How do you sync an ipod touch to a new laptop?

I have it plugged into my laptop but it is telling me that I need to plug it in to sync. I have windows 8 if that makes a difference.

    You can sync with one and only one computer at a time.  Sycning to another will indeed erase the content from the ipod and replace with content from the new computer.
    You should copy everything from the old computer to the new one.

  • How do i sync my iPod touch with my new laptop?

    I use to have a dell computer with my itunes library on it. I downloaded music on the dell and synced it to my ipod touch. But, the dell computer crashed and i am unable to access my original itunes library. Now i bought a new macbook pro and would like to sync all of my music from my ipod to my new computer but i am not sure how. Itunes gives me the option to delete all music currently on my ipod or only transfer purchased items from my ipod into my new library...but not all of my songs/movies were purchased or purchased through itunes.

    Youll have to find a 3rd party program to pull your stuff off your ipod. I know there are some out there for the pc, not sure about for mac, but Im sure theres got to be. Itunes wont pull stuff off your ipod that you didnt buy from itunes, not even sure itll pull everything ya bought through itunes either.

    My new laptop is already authorized and I have all my music in the iTunes library. I just need to able to get all my apps on it and I need to be able to sync without anything being deleted. Please help.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
    Have you failed to do this?  not good.
    You can transfer itunes purchases form an ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You can enter a unique contact and calendar entry on the computer.  you should get the option to merge.
    You can import any pics taken with the ipod, and e-mail any pics synced to the ipod to yourself.
    The ipod is not a storage/backup device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which you sync.

  • I tried to sync my iPod touch to a new laptop and it deleted all of my music and videos. I called tech support and they told me to email iTunes and they would give it back to me. How do I do this??

    I  tried to sync my iPod touch to a new MacPro laptop and it deleted all of my music and videos. I called tech support and they told me to email iTunes and they would give it back to me. How do I do this??

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

    Create a new library, either by launching iTunes with the Shift key held down or by creating a new Windows user account.

  • How do I sync my iPod Touch to a new account without losing playlists?

    Hey, everyone. Recently, one of my computers, which I used to sync my iPod to, crashed. Luckily, my music was backed up on another computer, but the playlists, apps, etc. were not. Is there a way for me to download my playlists and such onto this new computer without deleting the music (some of which isn't currently on my iPod; the library is too large for all songs to fit on the iPod)? I'm leaving on a road trip early tomorrow morning and I'd really appreciate it if you all could help me out before then so I can have some great music for the road!
    Maggie
    P.S. My iPod is a second-generation, and my computer is a PC with Windows XP. The version of iTunes that I have is pretty new, but my iPod hasn't been updated in a while, if that makes any difference. A quick fix would be awesome because of the previously mentioned time constraints

    You can transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - You can transfer non-Tunes purchases by using a thirds-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - You can also redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - You can mov music from one comuter to another by:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    - You will likely lose the playlists but you can move the music to the new computer.
    - After everything is on the new computer you can retain app date and other iPod settings by:
    - Connecting the iPod to the the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod undere Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.

  • My computer was stolen. How do I sync my ipod touch with my new computer without wiping all the music

    My laptop was stolen and now when I try to sync my music it wants to wipe my ipod touch 5th generation. How do I get around this ?

    There are quite a few third party apps that will copy media from the ipod to the computer. Try searching the cnet downloads site or other reputable sites.
    Good luck!

  • How can I sync my iPod Touch to a new computer?

    My Laptop's hard drive died: that's bad enough, but my data was backed up onto my iPod Touch, including some very rare tunes that I can't ever get again. I then installed iTunes onto my wife's desktop, but now I'm told that if I want to sync the iPod, I have to delete everything that's on it as the iPod is already synced to another computer - which now doesn't exist.
    I thought that backing up my rare music to my iPod made it safe; it was on my hard drive and my iPod. Now I'm told that if I want to sync my iPod to another computer I have to delete its contents. I can't afford to lose the music, because I can't replace it. Surely this can't be right?
    Incidentally, because I can't sync my iPod I have missed at least 2 appointments because my calendar isn't updated.
    I understand that Apple are worried about data being copied from one computer to another, but surely there must be a way to register a new computer as one to which I should sync?.

  • How do you sync your old library to a new laptop?

    Hi, Im currently using a new laptop and wanted to know how can I sync the library I had in the previous one to the new one. When I connect the ipod to the new one, I get a message that says that my Ipod is connected to a different library or something like that and if I choose to sync the content of my Ipod will be deleted. So I hope anybody can help me to get the content of my ipod on the new computer. Thanks!

    The music sync is one way -computer to ipod.
    You need to copy everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old computer, to the new one.
