How does new computer affect ipods

What needs to be done if I get a new mac and transfer my itunes to the new computer and get rid of the old computer. What should I do to insure the my ipods work on the new computer?

Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.

Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.

  • New computer/old ipod - how do I update my libray from my ipod?

    new computer/old ipod - how do I update my libray from my ipod? the music wasn't transfered from cd's, shared music files...no purchased from the ipod store.

    The ipod is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything on your new computer.

  • How does condition category affect the price procedure

    Hello Gurus,
         there is a case as following:
    if the condition type in the pricing analysis says in a billing document that the ‘‘condition is found and set,” and one is using the condition requirement number 024 (which only determines the price in billing document) yet still has to do new pricing in order to obtain the condition record, Should the condition category be blank, the system would propose the message “condition is found and set” but does not provide an actual condition record.
       the fault would be that the condition category on the condition type should be equal to L.
       so my question is " how does condition category affect the price procedure" ? thanks very much!

    Hi Zhang,
    -->Condition category is a classification of conditions according to predefined criteria.
    -->These categories include packaging costs, delivery costs, output taxes and discounts.
    -->The classification of conditions by condition categories can be used for analysis.
    I hope it will clear for you
    Regards,
    Murali.

  • When ever I reboot my device, I get an error message that says, "runtime error info.plist not found". What is this, how does it effect my ipod and how do I correct this error?

    I have an ipod touch 64gb. Lately, I discovered an error message on the lockscreen that says "Runtime Error Info.plist not found". What is this, will it effect my ipod, how does it effect my ipod and how do I correct the error? (I see the error message when I power up my ipod and when I reboot).

  • How does another computer show up as "shared" in my file sidebar?

    how does another computer show up as "shared" in my file sidebar?

    If you are seeing someone else's computer in your sidebar it is because they have 'shared' something on their computer and hence made it available to you. If you share something on your computer then your computer would become visible in their sidebar.
    You can access their shared computer without them being able to access yours. They do not have to do anything on your computer to make theirs available to you. All they have to do is tell you what username and password to use to access their computer.

  • How do i move files from one computer to a new computer for ipod touch

    My computer that has all the ipod files etc on it has crashed.  I need to know how to move them to a new computer.

  • My old computer has died, how can i get all my tunes on to my new computer and ipod?

    My old computer died and i can't get access to itunes on it. how can i get itunes on my new computer without wiping my ipod and having to start again from scratch?

    If the computer isn't functioning because of a operating system issue, but the computer itself still works, then it's possible to boot from a operating system on a cd or USB stick and transfer the files.
    If the boot drive physically works (and it hasn't been encrypted), the files can be removed if the computer doesn't work as well. (more on that later as it costs more money)
    For the first option your going to need to create a bootable USB or CD. I'm going to go with the easiest, a 2-4 GB USB thumb drive (nothing else on it of course)
    Visit this page and download the Easy USB Installer for Windows.
    http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
    Now from the first menu there you select Ubuntu 10.10 and check the box to download the ISO of Ubuntu Linux. Wait for it to finish.
    Now #2 browse to the ISO you just downloaded.
    Now #3 you select the EXACT drive letter of the USB (look under My Computer/Computer)
    Leave "show all drives" and "persistence" alone. Check "format drive" (be sure the drive letter is correct!)
    Click "Create"
    Once you got that done, stick the USB in the back of the computer (if a tower) and hook up a external USB hard drive. (nothing else on it.)
    Now you need to find the BIO's boot key for your problem computer, DELL it's F2 to enter the BIO's (list at link)
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/a/biosaccess_pc.htm
    Navigate around in there and set the USB as the first boot option (or cd if you got a boot cd). Save the option.
    Reboot the computer and it should boot off the USB. "Try Ubuntu/run from USB/CD"  Don't install.
    Once your in Ubuntu, you can easily go to the Places Menu and Select Computer, see all the drives and access your ENTIRE iTunes folder. Transfer this entire folder to the external USB drive.
    Also you can grab your pictures and anyrthing else while your in there.
    Now the second option is potentially destructive, if the computer doesn't work at all mechanically. Disconnect any power from the computer. Then you can remove the internal hard drive, use a powered IDE/SATA to USB adapter and plug it right into your new computer just like a external drive. However I would do a malware scan first.
    Lastly if you got your iTunes Folder onto the new computer (replacing the new iTunes folder with the old). You need to open the XML file in a Text program that has "Find and Replace" ability. So you can correctly fix the partial pathnames from the old computer to the new computer.
    This little step preserves all your playlists.
    Once you got your content over, you should File > Backup Library to disk and feed it DVD-R's or use a external drive.
    As you know, the iPod only sync's content one way, to the iPod.  (exception for iTMS bought stuff on the iPod can be synced back into iTunes with the correct account enabled.)  You might need to check iLounge for current third party software that reverses all content form a iPod back into iTunes.
    Finally if this is all above your head, have a professional do it for you. Apple will not re-issue downloads, backing up is your responsibility.
    Hope that helps.

  • HT1329 I have a new computer my Ipod when connected it does not show my music, I wish to add my already owned music from Ipod on to my computer so I can then add the cd songs I just loaded onto my Ipod

    How do I move all my music from Ipod to my new laptop I have accumulated it over the years from my own cd collection and when it synics it doesn't see it?

    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
    The ipod is not a backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • How to update new computer from Ipod

    My old computer died and I have downloaded itunes program to my new one. However when connecting my ipod I am told that my ipod is connected to another library. This seems to mean I cannot access the old library to reorganise and add to it etc. It will not allow me to transfer from the ipod to the new library. How can I transfer my old library to the new computer?
