How to sync my ipod

I recently had to get a new hard drive and didnt have back up files. How do I sync my iopd up without losing all my music?

This sounds like yur problem:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes): This issue is typically caused by out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software. Please followTroubleshooting security software issues if USB troubleshooting does not resolve this issue.

    Can someone tell me how i sync my ipod on my new computer. i have authorised the computer but i can not find where to sync it. i thought Apple was meant to be easy

    Hi Richail,
    Once you have selected your sync options in iTunes, such as what music or videos you want to transfer, the Apply button should be in the bottom right hand corner of the window. For more information on syncing iOS devices, you may find the following article helpful:

    Can anyone help me figure out how to sync my ipod with my purchased music?  I have used several computer and at one point synced my ipod with a computer that only had about half of my music.  My other computers are no longer working.  Not sure how to get my purchased music back onto my ipod?

    Hi kimcinma!
    Your previous purchases are saved on iCloud even if you bought them on another computer. If you can't find them on your current computer, you might need to unhide them. Go to iTunes preferences, and click on Store Preferences. Then click the box for "show iTunes in the Cloud purchases". Then click on OK, and everything you've ever bought from iTunes on that Apple ID will show up in your library. You will need to download them from iCloud first before you can synch them to your iPod Classic. To do this, click on the little cloud with the arrow in it next to your song, and it will download to your computer. When you have the music that you want downloaded, plug in your iPod and synch away. Hope this helps!

  • How to sync my iPod to my iPad ?

    how to sync my iPod and My iPad

    Use the same Apple ID for all services like iCloud and sync them to the same iTunes library with the same sync settings.
    For initial setup you can restore the iPod from the backup of your iPad
    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
    Not that unless yo use an encrypted backup yo will have to reenter all account passwords on the iPod
    Also, iPad-only apps will restore to/sync to the iPod

    That is because you cannot sync the iPod Touch to the iPad. It's not possible to connect the two devices in any way at all for any reason whatsoever.
    if you want to download the same music that is on the iPod to the iPad, you can do that in iTunes in the purchased tab. If you want to have the same apps on the iPad, go to the purchased tab of the App Store and download the apps again. You can do the same with books in the iBooks app.
    If you want to sync, Notes, Contacts, calendars, you can so that in Settings>iCloud - as long as you set up an icloud email account and turn those features on in the settings.
    Perhaps, if you were to explain exactly what you want to do, we might be able to offer specific instructions.

    how to sync the ipod touch in a foriegn computer if the ipod is disabled ?

    Same basic way as if you connect it to your syncing computer.  However, you ned to restore to factory defaults/new iPod since there is not backup on the foreign computer.
    In both cases you have to place the iPod in recovery mode to bypass (an erase) the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

    How to sync my ipod 3G to itunes on a new computer without losing everything

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
    The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
    Iphone will sycn with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.

  • Itunes library disappeared, how to sync from ipod?

    I have had my 30gb ipod video for a few months now with no problems. Last night I sync up my ipod and everything was fine. This morning I open itunes and my library is completely empty, and all of my playlists are gone.
    I checked my music folder and everything was still there, including the library xml file. Unfortunately I did not back up the xml file, and while trying to remedy the situation itunes overwrote the file with an empty library, so now I have lost all of that data.
    I started going through the process of re-importing my music and re-creating all of my playlists when I realized that all of the play count, ratings and other information is now completely lost.
    Since my ipod has all of the most current information, is there some way to sync the information from the ipod to my computer?
    Thanks
