How to sync 2nd ipod after  PC  hard drive replaced

My 1st ipod sync's fine 2nd unit will not sync.the pc recognizes it however doesnt complete sync to add new songs

Try this way:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

  • How do I reinstall Indesign after my hard drive has been deleted?

    How do I reinstall Indesign after my hard drive has been deleted?

    After getting a hard drive back in working order you can either reinstall the software using the disks if you purchased disks, or you can download your software as a trial version and use your original serial number to activate it. 
    If the software is the latest version you can download it from Adobe's product pages. 
    If the software is an older version you can download the trial version of the software using the link below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site.

  • Restoring from Time Machine after 1T hard drive replacement

    I am a super computer novice. I picked up my computer yesterday after having the recalled Seagate hard drive replaced. I backed up my computer using Time Machine before I took it in on a Seagate "Backup Plus" portable hard drive.
    Now, when I have tried to use the restore start up, the computer recognizes that my drive is connected, but says there are no files on that drive it can use to restore the system.
    I can see that there are 50GB on the disk, and when I look in it, there are files called "Macintosh HD" so that makes me think that my stuff is in fact on my external drive. why can't my computer see it?
    Do I need to get a FireWire cord to connect to my computer?  I'm using the USB 3.0 that came with the hard drive.
    My computer had Mountain Lion when I backed it up. I think it is back to whatever OS it came with originally. Do I need to update to Mountain Lion?  If I do, how do I do so without having to pay for it again?  My app store is empty since my computer was wiped.
    Thanks for the help, I really need it!

    The first thing to do is upgrade back to ML, which you can easily do.  Just redownload ML from the app store with the same AppleID you used the previous time you purchased the ML upgrade.  Your purchase is tied to the AppleID you used when buying, so you can download it again (as many times as you wish) without payment as long as you use the same AppleID.
    Once you have upgrade it to ML, then try the restore from the backup (which I gather was made when while running ML before).

  • How is the best way to sync my iphone after a hard drive upgrade?

    With a new hard drive on a Windows 7 machine and transferring my purchases (Mostly Apps, Music, and Photos) from my iphone to a fresh and the latest install of iTunes, how do i sync my apps the same way including the folders they are in on the iphone? Or do i have to drag them back inside their folders in the itunes software first? Especially, since it wants to delete everything from the phone and put the apps back on in that order instead of the folders I originally had them in...??

    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.

  • Hard drive died.  How to sync my Ipod/music to new drive ??

    Hello, Sad day yesterday. Click click... HD died. Took to Mactown and They are putting in new one.
    They said that if I sync my iPod Classic with my new drive, all my music and audiobooks will be erased. Can anyone help me?

    You should be able to restore from your backup. You do remember to backup, don't you?
    If not, see the following post:

  • Getting music from Ipod after formatting hard drive

    I had to format my hard drive recently...
    The music is still on my ipod how do i get it off and into the reinstalled program... music from ipod -> ipod program
    I'm not happy about the prospect of losing my music and all of my pictures

    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    SharePod is also freeware.
    If you copied photos to your iPod using the full resolution option, enable disk use, open your iPod in "my computer" in Windows or Finder on a Mac, open the photos folder then open the "full resolution" folder and drag the photos out of that folder to your desktop. For enabling disk use look here.
    Disk Use.
    If you only copied the photos as thumbnails, you can't do this so you'll need a program such as this one.

  • How to use the  ipod as external hard drive???

    I went to the windows explorer page and checked under my computer and saw my ipod as the "E" drive. Is the procedure of storing files, be it word or excel or photos as simple as dragging them into the ipod E drive location???
    I have tried doing this and they seem to have been copied into the ipod, however when I checked into the ipod they were not there...anywhere. I highlighted the "ipod(E)" drive and created a new folder named "my documents" and then dragged some word files into it. I then detached the ipod from my computer and checked the ipod for the files and the new folder "my documents" and could not find them.
    When you use the ipod as an external hard drive are all the documents and files you drag into it hidden???
    Is there any way to view word documents?? How do you store them?
    When using the ipod, is the only viewable information that comes up onto the ipod screen, info from the "itunes" page??
    cheers

    You can't view any of the files on the iPod while using the iPod. You can only see them through the computer. I guess if you want, you can put the files into the "Notes" folder on the iPod and see them using your iPod, but you can only open .txt files up to 4kb big.

  • How do I reinstall EVERYTHING after a hard drive wipe and upgrade to Lion?

    In preparing for the iCloud migration, my iMac had problems and I had to have my hard drive wiped clean and Lion installed.
    How do I easily get all my old stuff (iTunes and music library, iPhoto and photo library, iMovie, applications such as CS3, QuarkXPress, etc.) back on to my iMac?
    Do I have to put it all back on "by hand"? Meaning installing each program separately?
    What about my music and photos... reinstall from my stacks of backup disks?
    I read somewhere that I can find iPhoto, iTunes and iMovie (all the programs that came with Tiger but apparently do not come with Lion) on my (install disks?) Is it possible and easy to select just those programs to install?

    I haven't tried plugging it in directly. At this point in time, I am awaiting disks for iPhoto and iMovie installation. I also found out that I will have to load all my photos and videos and such from the backup disks I have created through the years. Blech. I knew this would be time consuming. Being as MobileMe closes in June, I'm sure glad I started migrating early...
    Thank you for your help. I may just leave this discussion open in case I have more questions after I get the disks and the new external hard drive I ordered (which is temporarily out of stock.)

  • How do I restore software after new hard drive installation?

    I just replace the hard drive in iMac 17" and need help restoring the OS. Apparently the Snow Leopard cd is in the drive because when I turned it on, after a few minutes of churning, the message appeared: this computer does not have enough ram to install OS X. It has two 512 mb ram cards and worked before.

    Restart the computer, when you hear the startup tone hold down the Option Key and choose the SL disc. After you select the language then choose the Utilities menu-Disk Utility and format the drive as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), Once you have formatted the drive then exit Disk Utility and complete the SL installation. The SL disc must be an upgrade DVD  it cannot be a Snow Leopard DVD that shipped with another Mac if it is it WILL NOT WORK!

  • How to get things working after External Hard Drive Died

    I had all of my iMovie videos (about 800 GB) on an external drive that died.  Fortunately it was backed up to another external drive using Time Machine.  I bought a new drive and couldn't figure out how to restore using Time Machine so i transfered the files manually using Finder.  The transfer was successful, but now the movies do not appear in the iMovie event library.  How do I get iMovie to work with the new external hard drive.  The drive itself appears in the Event Library window, but none of the movies do.  Then I also need to figure out how to back up the movies again to Time Machine.  When it looks to do it now, it wants to duplicate the moveis which exceeds the Time Machine hard drive capacity (2TB).  Thanks!!

    For you to see them in iMovie, the Events need to be in a folder called iMovie Events. This folder must be at the top level of the drive.
    Move it there and restart iMovie, and you should see them.

  • HOw do i reinstall itunes after a hard drive crash

    Experienced a hard drive crash on my computer.  I have no backup of iTunes.  HOw can a reinstall Itunes and retrieve my purchases?

    You can download and install iTunes from here www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you are in the US, and the music is still available in the store and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to purchase them, then you should be able to re-download your music purchases for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    If you are not in the US then there is currently no re-download option, so you would need to copy a backup onto the computer

  • Macbook Pro freezes often after the hard drive replaced

    Hi I just had the hard drive of my 17" mbp replaced at the Apple Store. The reason I brought my mbp in was because the Disk Utility couldn't fix my HD's problem (loud noise, extremely hot, slow..and disk utility couldn't run repair), and the genius bar person suggested I replace the hard drive.
    However after I had my compter back, even though it is not as hot as before and the Disk Utility showed everything is normal now, the really loud fan (possibly fan I guess) noise still sounds very crazy. I was just doing some web surfing, light work stuff, but the HD area just roared. Also my computer freezes so often now, and apprears busy (showing the rainbow color spinning ball) quite frequently even when I am just using Safari and Mail. This is quite annoying and makes me worried more.
    Do you guys have any suggestions? I could bring it back to the store again but it was really a trouble. Any ideas will be highly appreciated. Thanks!!

    Thank you both. Before I take it back, I would like to confirm one last thing: how often should the mbp make loud fan noise? Or actually we should never hear the fan noise? I really don't remember when I just got this computer (June 2006) I used to hear fan running like this. But I do know if the CPU was too busy while I were using Adobe programs or play WOW or somehing on my old computer, the fan of my old computer (PC) was pretty loud. I am just wondering if the situation I am experiencing is normal or not before I send it back. Thanks!

  • TS3554 Tried setting login password on recently returned iMac after Seagate hard drive replaced. No space to type in a password or confirm it appeared so I chickened out and clicked on red dot to shut down window. I did, however, put my name as admin. now

    Tried setting login password onto iMac after it returned from Seagate exchange hard drive. Upgraded from leopard, snow leopard and currently upgraded to Lion, so as to have iCloud.Typed my name in as administrator and waited for a space to appear to type in password and confirm it. No space appeared so I shut that window down. Put iMac to sleep and when I returned and tried to access computer, it asks for a password which I did not put in! Now I'm stuffed. Cannot get into computer at all. Help appreciated. I'm not a techno wizard.

  • Time Machine Not Recognizing Old Backups after getting hard drive replaced

    Hello! I have a 13' Black Macbook pro which had a faulty hard drive so I had it replaced. Ever since then, all my old backups in Time Machine have been grayed out. I have no idea how to fix this and have tried almost everything on the web.
    The only folder that allows me to "go back in time" is my Macintosh HD folder which I know I can access everything but it's a huge nuisance to not be able to click on a folder and go back in time in the same folder.
    I just want things the way they used to be! Thanks for the help!

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    The problem is, you have a different HD. Even if it has the same name and contents as the old one, it's still a different HD, and Time Machine treats it as a different one.
    There's no way to fool it into thinking it's not.
    Technically, it has a different UUID (Universally Unique IDentifier); that's what OSX uses to keep track of drives, not their names.
    As you do new backups, you'll be able to access them just as you did with the old drive.
