HT1296 How do you transfer music to a new laptop when the old one has died?

I recently purchased a new Macbook pro to replace my old Sony laptop which died. I want to sync my iPod touch to the new Macbook without losing any of my music. I purchase music on a physical CD rather than using itunes. How do I achieve this?

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    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 device 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 iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

    How do you transfer registration to a new owner for an iMAC G5, 1.9 GHZ Power PC G5 with OSX Version 10.5.8.
    LKB

    You don't really need to, as long as the new owner knows the serial number, that's all s/he needs.  I do hope, by the way, that you have delivered the install discs along with the computer.

  • How can I authorize my iPod on a new laptop when the email address has changed?

    I had another laptop when I signed on with an account for my iPod nano.  The IP address changed only for commercial use.  I now have another laptop and registered with my new email address.  However, when I try to move my music and podcasts it brings up my old email address.  I don't want to lose all of the music and podcasts I bought.  How can I authorize this computer and transfer my things?

  • HT4527 do you know how to transfer itunes music to a new computer when the old computer is broken

    please answer

    Unless you have a backup somewhere, then no.
    You need the entire iTunes folder located in the My Music directory on your old PC.
    You will still be able to redownload your iTunes purchases but any non-iTunes purchased media will be lost as well as playlists, play counts, etc...
