HT1351 now synch to my new computer. any suggestions as to what I do now? thanks

I synched my nano to an old computer which died on me. how do i now synch it to my new computer. thanks
PS haven't a clue what my original apple id. just created a new one .

The right way to transfer your music library is to transfer it from the old computer to the new one. If the old computer "died" then the right way is to restore your content from a backup.
Your computer backs up your Nano, not the other way around.
PS haven't a clue what my original apple id. just created a new one .
That's a problem. If you purchased music with another Apple ID you will lose all of it unless you can recover the ID.
Use https://iforgot.apple.com/ and click the link "Forgot your Apple ID?"
Unfortunately even this will not help if you do not have an email address associated with that ID that you can still access.

IPod won't work on new computer - any suggestions?

I recently got a new computer (Sony Vaio) with Windows 7. I copied all my music to my new laptop okay, but when I plug in my iPod mini to the laptop, I get a blue screen of error messages. I've tried updating iTunes and everything, but still get that same blue screen.
I didn't know if the iPod mini is so old that it isn't compatible with Windows 7 or what? Any suggestions? Other than buy a new iPod - haha

iPod classic is where you want to post. This area is for iPod Nano technical issues.

Need help re-synching iPods with new computer and getting iTunes to...

Need help re-synching iPods with new computer and getting iTunes to recognize our iPods (it doesn't even recognize them when they're plugged in).
Hubby wiped my harddrive for me, so now I need to get everything back in proper places. I'm using windows XP and installed iTunes once again (I believe it's version 8). I also installed all of my iTunes songs. Now I need to know where to go from here. We have 3 iPods and I need to get them all synched once again. I know how to create different libraries for each of us, but I can't figure out how to get our songs back into our iTunes libraries. When I open iTunes and plug in an iPod, iTunes doesn't even show that an iPod is plugged in.
What do I do now to get each of our iPods synched with our own libraries?
TIA
Brandy

Thanks Zevoneer. The "Restart ipod service" worked and itunes is now recognizing my ipod! Hooray!
Okay, now how do I synch all of our ipods with our individual libraries (I don't want all of my kids' songs and vice versa)? We each have hundreds of songs on our ipods that we don't want to lose.
Thanks again!

Hey there Frank0619,
If you have not been able to install iTunes because the Windows Installer service is not available, I would recommend the troubleshooting in the following troubleshooting to help.
Issues installing iTunes for Windows
These in particular:
Make sure you have an administrator account.
To install iTunes, you'll need to log in to your computer with an administrator password. If you're not sure if you have an administrator account, read Windows 7: How do I log on as an administrator? You could also refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
Install the latest Microsoft Windows updates.
To download the latest updates, visit the Microsoft Windows Update website. iTunes for Windows requires Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 with the latest Service Pack installed. If you can’t install the updates, refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
Download the latest version of iTunes.
The latest version of iTunes can be downloaded at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
Disable conflicting software.
Some Windows background processes can cause issues for other programs and processes. These conflicts can prevent applications, such as iTunes, from installing. Disable conflicting processes by starting your computer using MSConfig:
Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows XP
Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8
Some security software made by other companies can't be disabled using MSConfig. If you've installed security software and you're having issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows, you might need to disable or uninstall security software to resolve installation issues.
Restart your computer.
Install iTunes.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

How do I get my iPad to synch with my new computer? It keeps referring to my old computer.

How do I get my iPad to synch with my new computer? It keeps referring to my old computer.

IMO - and we are all entitled to our own opinions - I prefer to use iTunes. Heaven forbid if Apples servers ever go down - there will be mass hysteria and I have seen too many cases of "I just tried to restore from my iCloud backup and it have 8 gazillion app icons on the screen that say "waiting" - but once again - this is only my opinion.
And if you lose your Internet connection in the middle of an iCloud restore - what then? Nobody thinks of that kind of stuff - but hey - that's what makes this whole exchange of ideas so wonderful. We can all express our own opinions .... but that does not help you solve your situation.
What exactly is happening when you try to sync with iTunes? Maybe somebody can offer help instead of just useless opinions that do nothing to resolve your situation.

Ok so we bought an ipodtouch for my daughter and when she connected to the computer all of a sudden she lost all her pics and she can no longer connect to the app store on her ipod.. any suggestions why and what can be done?

ok so we bought an ipod touch for my daughter and when she connected it to the computer after she downloaded itunes, she was asked if it was her ipod or a new one, so she clicked on her ipod and lost all her recent pics plus is unable to locate the app store on her safari on her ipod touch. any suggestions as to what went wrong or what should be done ? should we restore or what?
much appreciated if there is anyone else who had this happen to them.

- The iPod got erased since it sounds iTunes identified that the iPod has been synced with another computer and she said yes to making this computer her syncing computer. It could also she restored the iPod from the backup of another iPod, iPhone or iPad that was in iTunes. If in iTunes you go to Preferences>Devices is there a backup listed for her iPod with a date/time when she first connected the iPod to the computer. If so then restore the iPod from that backup.
iOS: How to back up
Note synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup,
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Regarding the App store. The App store is not in Safari. It is a separate app. Also, could the Apple store be hidden by Restrictions? Settings>General>Restrictions. Further, can you find the App store via the Spotlight search on the iPod?

I found an old iPod classic of mine. It's not synced to my new MacBook Pro. How can I get the music and photos off of it and on to my new computer? When I plug it in to my new computer it wants to erase what is on it and transfer from my new computer.

I found an old iPod classic of mine that is synced to a computer that is long gone. I want to get the music and photos from this old iPod onto my new computer. Every time I hook the iPod up to my new computer it wants to delete what is on the iPod and replace with the contents of the iTunes that is currently on the new computer. I don't want to do that. I want to keep what is on the old iPod and transfer it to iTunes. Any help? Thanks!

See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

I am new to IPod touch and really enjoying it. BUT. All of a sudden I am unable to connect to my home wireless network nor any hot spots. Did not have any trouble in 1st month and yet something seems to have changed. Any suggestions as to what ?

I am new to IPod Touch and enjoying but all of a sudden (after about a month of connection) I am unable to connect to either my home wirless or hotspots outside of home. It would appear that a setting has changed but have no idea how to determine. Any suggestions ?

NO I did not and thank you very much for the advice. My problem was stated incorrectly in that while I am able to connect to the wireless from that point on I am unable to connect to the internet. I will check the article referred to.

icloud did not install my apps from my previouse ipad when I set up my new ipad, any suggestions?

I show the last back up when I go into settings but I do not know how to get the items out of back up? Should I try restarting it? When I was setting up the new ipad for the first time it asked for my icloud login and password but it did not give me an option to retrieve the old back up?
Thanks!

Sounds like Word is corrupt, I would uninstall the app and then reinstall. Also there is a MS Office for Mac forum, you can find it at: Office for Mac Product Forums

I am getting the following message "safari could not download the file (440MB) because there is not enough disk space. disk utility says i have 249.8 GB of available disk space. any suggestions as to what is the problem would be appreciated

i am getting the following message "safari could not download the file (440 MB) because there is not enough disk space. please delete files or download to another disk." when i check system information it tells me i have 249.82 GB of disk space available. any suggestions as to what i can do to resolve this problem.

don
thanks for your suggestion. that is the same advice that i got from the geek squad at the local apple store.
i did what he instructed but it did not work. i have since called apple support twice regarding the problem. they had me start the computer in safe mode, going into the library and deleting a phlist file (i think) do a repair disk permissions, do a repair disk, empty the cache, and finally the last guy told me to unplug the computer from the wall socket and restart.
when i mentioned the advice you and the apple store guy gave me they sort of poo pooed it saying that was done when they did all this other stuff.
i am now waiting for the download to be completed to see if unplugging the computer had any effect.
thanks again for your kindness in answering my concern.

You need to reinstall OS X:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

I can't connect to my wifi, but other people are able to although I am able to connect to other peoples wifi in their homes. Any suggestions as to what is going on.

I enter my wifi Password and my iPad gives me the message that it cannot connect to the wifi. I know the password is correct and other people do access it.
I have been able to access other peoples wifi with no problem. Any suggestions as to what the problem could be?

If you have more than one device in your house, you may find that this kind of thing happens from time to time, and it happens when your router gives to another device the address previously used to route Internet traffic to your computer, meanwhile your computer still thinks it's using that same, old address. The technical term for this problem is “IP address collision.”
In the short term, the fix is to power off (not sleep) all the devices in your home that connect to the Internet, along with your router and modem. Leave everything off for at least a full minute, then power on your devices in the following order (and make sure each one is fully on and working properly before powering on the next item): modem, router, any devices that maintain a permanent connection to the Internet, devices that only sometimes connect to the Internet (such as laptop computers or cell phones). This process will clear out the routing tables and make all devices connect from scratch.
In the long term, you'll want to make sure each device that only sometimes uses your internet connection uses an assigned IP address when at home. For Macs, you can use the location feature of the Networking pane in System Preferences to make this happen. For other devices, you'll want to consult the user manual, or (probably) Google, Wikipedia, or YouTube.

Hi Helen5012,
When troubleshooting iTunes Store connection issues, the following articles provides the best information:
First, try signing out of your account in Settings > iTunes & App Store. Once signed out, go ahead and sign back in.
iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311
If the above did not resolve your issue, refer to the following:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
- Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking on Check for Update in your device's Summary page in iTunes.
- Check and verify that you are in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you are on a 3G capable device, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
- Check to make sure you have an active internet connection. You can check the User Guide for your device for help with connecting to the internet.
- Check to make sure other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the internet.
- Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router
- If the issue still persists see, iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connectionsoriOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections.
Thanks,
Matt M.
