How to Change Library iPod is linked to with iTunes 7

I had linked my iPod to the iTunes library on my computer at work, but need to change this so that it is linked to my home computer. I remember you could do this with iTunes 6 but I can't figure out how to do this with iTunes 7. I have to exchange my work computer and will lose all my music on it, and at this point I don't want to re-link it to the new work computer, as it makes much more sense to link it to my home computer. Can anyone help? How do you change what computer your iPod is linked to?

Plug it into your home computer and set it to Autosync.

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the now new computer by :
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like those discussed here:

    - Make a backup of th iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer. Right click on iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.

  • My ipod is linked to another itunes music library?????

    I recieved this notice last time I logged into my iTunes. "The iPod is linked to another iTunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this iTunes music library and replace all existing songs on this iPod with those form this library?
    The thing is that I'm still using the same computer and never used another one to try to load any songs onto my iPod Shuffle. The Shuffle still has approximately 55 songs on it and I can't find them in my iTunes library. Anyone have any ideas as to how to put them from my iPod to my iTunes? Or how to find them on my computer to reload to my iTunes library?
    Thanks for any assistance,
    Sincerely,

    A couple different possiblities can lead to this...
    iPod's not only "attach" to a single computer, but also a single user account on that computer. Are you using the same Windows user account?
    If you are, then possibly the iTunes Music Library file was trashed from "My Documents\My Music\iTunes". The "iTunes Music Library" files found in this folder must stay here and must not be altered (except by iTunes, of course).

  • The iPod is linked to another iTunes music library

    My daughter just purchased an iTunes Shuffle with her birthday money. We imported several CDs into the iTunes Library and successfully loaded the iPod Shuffle with about 120 songs. We then turned off the computer. The next time we attached the iPod Shuffle to the USB port, iTunes opened up and gave the following message:
    The iPod is linked to another iTunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this iTunes music library and replace all existing songs on this iPod with those from this library?
    Wow, that's a confusing question. I answered "no" to it initially, and the message went away, leaving my library empty. I disconnected the iPod Shuffle and then reconnected it and got the same question. This time I answered "yes" and our library is still empty. I can see all the CDs we imported in the iTunes folder and the individual songs are there as well. But for some reason, the library is not displaying them. iTunes also doesn't show the icon for the iPod when it's connected. Any ideas on how to fix this situation?

    We are using this iPod on only 1 PC with 1 user with WinXP. I have been able to "file/add folder to library" to retrieve my daughter's songs. I also 'restored' the iPod to factory settings and updated it with the latest software and I did the same for the iTunes software. Everything is updated now. When I click on the button to "autofill" her iPod, I can get a few of the 118 songs in our library to download, but then I get an error messages that states, "Attempting to copy to the disk failed. An unknown error occurred. (-69)" Any ideas on what's happening here? Another I noticed that's strange is when I try to autofill the iPod, my 3.5" floppy light starts blinking. Perhaps this iPod software thinks the floppy is the iPod???

    Hi Divine Inspiration,
    You wouldn't connect the iPod to the iPad for data transfers. Music is stored and shared either through a computer or iCloud.
    This article gives an overview of moving music and data off the iPad.

  • HT204053 I just changed my apple ID, how can I make my icloud link up with my new ID?

    I just changed my apple ID, how can I make my icloud link up with my new ID?

    Did you simply change the primary email address of your existing AppleID at
    https://appleid.apple.com/
    Or, did you create a new AppleID.  If you created a new AppleID, then you cannot.  All you can do is use the iCloud with the old AppleID, or create a new iCloud account with the new AppleID.
    If you changed the primary email address of the exisitng AppleID, you may need to uninstall the iCloud account on the iPhone and reinstall it to get it to use the new email address and password (you won't loose anything, its just there a means of resetting the cached credentials associated with the iCloud account).

  • "The iPod "iPod" is linked to another iTunes music library."

    This message that my iPod is linked to another iTunes music library keeps showing up even after I allowed iTunes to erase my music on my iPod and replace it with the music in the iTunes library. Do I have to let it replace it all again?

    ok i'll try that now. and there are actually no songs
    in my itunes since its been restored. so no, lol i
    dont wanna loose all my songs.
    ok, i guess AFTER you fill up your itunes wit all of your songs, i guess try it then.. maybe its doin this cuz the itunes music (in this case is none) is different then what is on the ipod, so it THINKS it is connected to another computer that has the songs on your ipod... so yea jus fill up your libary wit the same songs and then try it...cuz when you hook your ipod into another comp that has differnt songs then taht on your ipod, it says that message... soyea again jus fill up your itunes wit the music

  • HT201263 Can a disabled ipod be restarted when the original computer has crashed that it was linked to with itunes?

    My child has an ipod touch that has now been disabled due to too many wrong passcodes from younger siblings.  But the problem of restoring it is that the computer it was linked to with itunes has crashed.  So what do we do now?  Please help.  Thanks for all suggestions in advance!

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

    How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library?  In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration panes in iTunes?

  • IPod doesn't sync with iTunes anymore!! HELP!!

    I am in complete despair - my iPod doesn't sync with iTunes anymore. It all started a couple of days ago, after installing the latest updates of both, iTunes and iPod. After that, I noticed that the iPod wasn't synching the changes and new additions I had made in iTunes.
    I tried everything so far with no success. I did reset the iPOd, reinstalled the iPod updater, than did a RESTORE and now my iPod is completely empty, but refuses to download my music from iTunes.
    When connected, it shows up, start "updating iPod" and several seconds later shows "update complete". In the iPod window I can all the songs (in grey) from my library, but they are not being transferred to my iPod!!!
    Please, help!!

    I think I know the problem and it's solution. The iPod "thinks" it's linked to a different library and therefore does not synchronize. No idea what happens in the background there, but here is what I did:
    First, I went back to the previous update on the iPod (not sure if that's necessary at all, but I just wanted to go to where I started from.
    The UNinstalled iTunes (to be safe I backed up my tunes) and reinstalled it. Then pasted backed up tunes into new iTunes music folder and overwrote newly created iTunes library files.
    Then I connected the iPod, which now told me that I had an old version and needed to update, which I did.
    Then a window popped up and told me that my iPod was connected to a different library and if I want to connect to this one, overwriting everything on the iPod, which I said yes to (it didn't matter anyway, since it was now empty after the RESTORE I had done).
    iPod then downloaded all the songs from my library again and we are as happy together as we've been before
    I think what happened was that after installing the latest update, that window with the "different library connection" had popped up as well and I must have clicked NO because of the "overwrite" comment which scared me. Unfortunately, even with "reset warnings" it then never popped up again and until I reinstalled iTunes.
    Hope this helps!
