How to get my ipod content recognised by my new laptop?

I have downloaded i-tunes to my new laptop. I have authorised this computer as one of my 5 devices etc... I connect my i-pod, it starts to synch, then stops.
It tells me my i-pod is nearly full, so I know it can see the content there...
but, the library on the computer is empty. I can't seem to get the content from my i-pod onto my i-tunes account on my new computer.
It tells me if i try to run the new suggested upgrade, it will delete everything on my ipod...
My old laptop is dead, so now I am stuck with an ipod content I can't replace (without buying it again) or change (without deleting it all)
What am i doing wrong here?

The ipod is not a backuip device.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy tp put everything on the new computer.

I have downloaded the latest version of itunes on my new laptop and my ipod won't sync, it does not seem to be recognised by itunes tho' it is in my computer. I have reset the ipod but that hasn't worked. I have been advised to restore my ipod to its factory settings but this requires itunes to recognise me ipod?!?!?! Help?

Have you worked through each and every single suggestion offered in this Apple support document?

How can I get my entire ipod content on to my new laptop since my desktop doesn't work anymore?

The motherboard went on my desktop and contained a whole lot of music gained from cds rather than purchased through itunes. I need to get them off my ipod onto my laptop.

If your music collection was purchased from iTunes, you are in a good shape since that music is forever yours under your iTunes account. Therefore, after installing iTunes on your new computer, sign into your account and see all your music under "Purchsed". Then simply download it to be phisically present onto your computer (for free since you've already paid for it).
On the other hand if you happens to not be a sucker to waist money on iTunes and your collection was ripped from the internet (via torrents and such), you can follow this guide to transfer the music from ipod to computer. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

HOWTO/FIX: How to get your iPod touch recognised in iTunes

Hi,
I'm going to explain how to fix this problem but let me give you a little background first.
I was starting from scratch so what could go wrong:
1. Fresh Windows XP SP2 install, fully updated on brand new MacBook pro.
2. Firewall (Komodo) and Anti-virus (avast) installed
3. Firefox
4. Latest iTunes
And the iPod touch wouldn't show up. I went through every guide and every step on the apple website including the 5Rs, registry fixes, xp app cleanup, USB port settings, re-installs, resets etc but nothing worked.
So what was the solution?
Install iTunes 7.5.5 instead of 7.6! Simple as that.
Hopes this helps some people seeing as I've wasted about 5 hours of my life on this.
Cheers,
Karle

Find someone with a PC or go to an Apple store.
However, if the screen only says disabled:
If you don't have access to a computer
If you are using Find My iPhone, you can use Remote Wipe to restore your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode.

How to I get my shuffle & iPod to work on my new laptop....

My old desktop died and my songs are songs?
1) How do I get my shuffle & my iPod to connect to my new laptop when it used to be assigned to my old dead desktop?
2) How do I get my purchased iTunes songs from Apple since I cannot get them from the dead desktop computer?
Thanks,
Bill Fee

*How do I get my shuffle & my iPod to connect to my new laptop when it used to be assigned to my old dead desktop?*
1). Connect your iPod to your computer (this won't work for the shuffle by the way which doesn't have the same manual setting the larger iPods have, you don't actually say what model the other iPod is). If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
3). Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. 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. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
*How do I get my purchased iTunes songs from Apple since I cannot get them from the dead desktop computer?*
If your iPod still has the purchases on it then any of the methods above will let you transfer them back to the computer. However if they aren't on the iPod and if you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on the link at the bottom of this page you'll be able to email your query: iTMS Customer Service

PLEASE CAN YOU TELL ME HOW TO GET PHOTOSHOP CC TO RECOGNISE MY PRINT PROFILES?

Profile problem
A question Adobe do not seem to be able to answer. Or rather they do not understand my problem.
I am having a problem getting Colour profiles for my printing papers recognised by Photoshop CC in My Mac OSX10.10.1 Yosemite
To put the profiles onto the Mac I did as follows >Computer>Mac HD >Library>Colour Sync >profiles >Recommended -then dragged the profile into this file.
The profiles appear in the print dialogue in Photoshop CS5 which I also have on my Mac
The profiles appear in Lightroom 5
In Photoshop CC the profile is NOT shown in the print dialogue and the profile list is very much shorter than in CS5.
Please can you tell me how to get Photoshop CC to recognise my print profiles?
I was thinking I would need to delete and re install but I have just downloaded the latest edition of Photoshop CC and the same problem applies.
It is rather frustrating to have to go from CC to CS5 in order to make a print!
Many Thanks

I don't know if this applies to your problem, but past problems in this form seem to recommend updating the printer driver when using Yosemite.

Anyone have a syggestion on how to get my Ipod touch working again besides putting it into restore mode

Anyone have any ideas on how to get an Ipod touch to charge or sync without putting it into restore mode, I've prettymuch tried everything thats been put online so far

Tried DFU mode?
To do this follow these instructions:
    1. First, Open up iTunes, plug in your iPod Touch/iPhone to the Computer's USB port. Turn on your Computer's speaker and make sure it is loud enough that you can hear it.
    2. Hold down the Home button (top left for iPod Touch and top right for the iPhone with the screen facing you) and the Power button (located on the front bottom of your iPod Touch/iPhone) simutaneously, until the screen goes black and the device turns off. (past the red slider/slide to power off screen)
    3. Now let go of the Power button, but continue to hold the Home button. Your iPod Touch/iPhone should have turned off and the screen should not be on.
    4. After around ~10-20 seconds, you will hear a noise (beep/ding) from your Computer as if it had just recognized a new hardware device, now iTunes should recognize it in DFU mode.
    5. After iTunes recognizes the iPod Touch/iPhone, let go of the Home button otherwise it will go into recovery mode and you will have to do the entire DFU process over again.
    6. You will know when you have put your iPod Touch/iPhone correctly into DFU mode when the display is blank and that you do not have anything on your device.
Once you have done this click restore and iTunes sould start to dowbnload and install the latest firmware.
#Please note this will reset your iDevice to factory settings

I got a new laptop (Macbook Pro) and my IPhone is synced with my previous laptop. I've recorded dozens of very long (un-emailable) Voice Memos over the last few weeks and need to get them from my IPhone onto my new laptop. How do I do this?

I got a new laptop (Macbook Pro) and my IPhone is synced with my previous laptop (which I no longer have). I've recorded dozens of very long (un-emailable) Voice Memos over the last few weeks and need to get them from my IPhone onto my new laptop.
How do I do this?
(when I click on the Sync option I get the warning: "Are you sure you want to sync music? All existing songs and playlists on the iPhone will be replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library." I fear that if I click this I will lose all of my important Voice Memos as well)

Just to add to what ChrisJ4203 said. You can sync them to your new computer using iTunes by selecting to Include Voice Memos on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing. However, you still need to re-establish syncing with the new computer without iTunes erasing all the iTunes media from your phone (as the warning mentioned).
If you copy your entire iTunes folder (not just your music) from your old computer to your new one, along with other non-iTunes media you may be syncing with iTunes (such as contacts, calendars and any photos synced to your phone from your old computer) by using migration assistant of following one of these methods: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527, then when you sync again with your new computer it will recognize your phone and sync as it did before. You will still have to authorize the new computer for any Apple IDs used to purchase from the iTunes and App stores (in iTunes>Store>Authorize this computer).
After that you can sync your voice memos to your computer as mentioned earlier.
If you want to archive your voice memos before you do anything with iTunes, you can use a 3rd party program such as PhoneView or Touch Copy.

How do I get my old iTunes library onto my new laptop? My old laptop is broken but all media is on my phone. Most of the songs are from CD's which I no longer have. HELP!

That is not necessarily true. You are allowed to make a back-up of media you own and, at least in the Netherlands, even a copy of a work you've borrowed from a library. The law expressly permits this and you pay a certain amount for recordable media to allow for home use. See http://www.thuiskopie.nl/nl for this. If you then decide to destroy the media, i.e. do not transfer the media to someone else, I don't see how you infringe copyright by keeping the back-up. But I guess some so-called creatives like the idea of making money in all kinds of hypothetical ways...
It is a nice dream, where you have to work once and then earn a lot of money by selling millions of copies from your work. But buyers can make copies too!! Hahahahahaha!

How do I setup AirPlay in iTunes on my new laptop?

I had my laptop stolen which had about 40 albums saved on Itunes along with Airplay which streamed music to my Denon player.
I now have a new laptop with Itunes installed. How do I get my Airplay setup again on the new laptop.???

Check out this Apple article -> Using AirPlay
Enabling AirPlay from iTunes on your computer
To stream music or videos from your computer to an Apple TV or AirPort Express:
Connect your computer and Apple TV to the same Wi-Fi network.
Open iTunes (10.2 or later).
Locate and click the icon in the bottom-right corner of the iTunes application.
Select your Apple TV, AirPort Express, or AirPlay-enabled speakers or receivers from the list of available devices that appears, and begin playback.
Note: The images of a TV screen or speaker next to each AirPlay device in the AirPlay menu indicate the type of media content you can stream to that device.
Do you see the Denon when you click the AirPlay icon in the lower right corner of iTunes?

Transferring iTunes content from old to new laptop - missing tracks?

My laptop of six years (a Dell Studio) stopped working recently. I took it to a repair shop which transferred all my data - including documents and music - onto an external hard drive.
I then dragged the iTunes content on to my new laptop (a Toshiba Satellite Pro). However, when I open iTunes, it says I only have 12,609 songs (I've been collecting music for over 10 years).
On my iPod, which is still synced with the iTunes on my old (now broken) Dell Studio, it has 13,251 tracks.
Does anyone know a way of finding out which 642 tracks have gone AWOL (and also seeing if I can add them to the new library?)

Choose Consolidate Library from the Library section of the File menu in iTunes after adding each batch to the iTunes library but before unplugging the flash drive or deleting anything from it.
