HT1351 Sync Apple Nano to a new lap top?
Hot to sync my Apple Nano to a new lap top?
Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

I need help. I had an apple account on my old Lap Top to which my iPad and iPhone were synced ? I recently changed my lap top. My problem is the new lap top won't accept my apple I D it asked me to sing up for a new one which I did. After doing this I tried to sync my iPad and phone to the new lap top which I was unable to do as they didn't recognise my new ID. HELP!!!!!!

I am puzzled by this. The laptop doesn't need the Apple ID - but iTunes does. I could be missing something but ....
Why would you not be able to use your existing Apple ID and iTunes account on a new laptop? If you authorized the computer - you should be able to use your existing account - unless you already had 5 computers authorized with the existing ID - and that was why iTunes would not accept the ID. However, I'm sure that you would have received a popup message from iTunes telling you that you had reached the limit.
I just received a new MBP and my daughter did as well. My entire family shares an Apple ID and we had no issues at all with my Apple ID and iTunes on our new computers and I did not have to sign up for a new account. Did you even try the old ID? -
I HAVE A TOUCH 4.3. MY COMPUTER DIED AND NOW HAVE A NEW LAP TOP. I HAD SYNCED PHOTOS FROM THE COMPUTER TO THE TOUCH THAT APPEAR IN FOLDERS. THEY WERE NOT ORIGINALLY TAKEN WITH THE TOUCH. NOW HAVE A NEW COMPUTER AND WANT TO GET THESE PHOTOS FROM THE IPOD TO NEW PC OTHERWISE ARE LOST. MY LAPTOP IN WINDOWS 7
To get synced photos from an iPod to a computer you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView.

You can sync with one and only one computer at a time. Sycning to another will indeed erase the content from the ipod and replace with content from the new computer.
You should copy everything from the old computer to the new one. -

I have a new lap-top which has all my PURCHASED i-tunes on it. I have an i-pod touch which has all my purchased PLUS all the CDs and records that I recorded onto i-tunes. How do I get all the recorded stuff onto the i-tunes on the lap-top. I no longer have access to the old lap-top with everything on it.

I got a new lap top and my husband thought it would be a good idea to help me by downloading itunes on it. Well Not so much... I have not used icloud but do have it on my phone and other items. When he pugged my phone in to my laptop it asked if he wanted to backup he said yes. Then it reset my phone and now all my pictures are gone please help
If your phone was backed up to your computer, the backup would contain your camera roll photos (and videos). Restoring to this backup would recover them. However, if it was backed up a second time after losing them, this would overwrite the backup containing the data and your photos would be lost.
You can try restoring to your backup, but before doing so go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically". This will prevent the phone from automatically syncing and backing up when you connect it to your computer, thereby overwriting the backup you want to restore to. After doing this, open iTunes on your computer and connect your phone, then right-click on the name of your phone on the left side of iTunes and choose Restore from Backup. (If you have iTunes 11 first go to View>Show Sidebar.)
Again this might work, as long as the phone was only backed up and then not subsequently backed up again after the photos were lost. -
I am trying to authorise a new lap top for my itunes account. The instructions to me to open my itunes and go to Store then choose "Authorize this computor" or if using an older version of itunes to go to the Advanced menu. Neither of these two items appear under "Store" when I open itunes. Am I in the wrong "Store" as I cannot locate anything thing similar on the open itunes.
BobAm I in the wrong "Store" as I cannot locate anything thing similar on the open itunes.
Bob
Bob,
They did not mean the Store; they meant the Store menu on the iTunes menu bar! It is in a row with File, Edit, View, Controls, Store, and Help, as shown below.
If you don't see the menu bar, enable it by holding the CTRL key and pressing B. -
How can i get iTunes on my new lap top to look at my server for the music
I have a new lap top with vista ultimate. I can't get it to "see" the music stored on the server, so my iTUnes on the lap top is blank.
How can i get my iTunes on my new lap top to look at my server for the music?
someone mentioned creating an alias on the server and then dragging that onto the c: drive iTunes folder?
Can anyone help me?They should be in your itunes media folder. Use an external hard drive and just copy that to your new computer. I'm sure there's an easier way like this one (iTunes>File>Library>Export Library>External Hard Drive) but I never tried it before. Anyways, once that's done, just simply authorize your itunes account to play music you bought on to the new computer.

I reloading LR onto a new lap top. I have the orginal LR 1 disk with correct Serial #. I have downloaded it, every time I try to open the program I get the "Do you want to buy or I have a Serial Number Page". I fill out the page include the serial # accept terms and enter. All fine and good seems normal. When I try to open LR I get the damn "Do you want to buy" page. I do I get past this BS?
What version of LR are you trying to activate? A serial number for LR 1 will not activate LR versions 2 - 5, but it will enable you to purchase LR 5 at the upgrade price and activate it.
