HT1386 How do I sync my Ipod with a new computer

I got a new computer and I tried syncing my ipod with Itunes and it says theres no media to add. How do I add the music on my ipod to the itunes library on my computer. I dont want to have to delete everything and have to start over with my music.

If you still have access to the Old computer...
And to have EVERYTHING as it is Now...
From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

Help! How can i sync my ipod with a new computer?

how do i sync my ipod touch with a new computer? the old computer it was synced with is completely broken. I don't want to loose any songs, especially the ones I didn't buy on itunes.

For music obtained from other than the iTunes Music Store, you need to browse the app store and purchase an app intended for that very purpose. I'm unable to recommend one because I've never had reason to use such an app. DO THIS FIRST!
For songs purchased from iTunes, simply do a sync to the new computer. A box will appear asking if you wish to transfer purchases. If, for whatever reason, that fails, this is "Plan B."

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like on of those discussed here:
newer copy
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year. It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you. Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices. See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

I have just changed my computer as my old one died... but now cannot access my old itunes account so i have set up a new one with another email address. how can I sync my ipod to my new computer without wiping all my music ?

I have just tried to sync my ipod to a new computer as my old one died but as I cannot remember my previous log in I created a new itunes account. I now want to sync but it says it will wipe my music off my ipod. Does anyone know how I can do this now ?

If you have purchases on your iPod Shuffle that you want to sync back to iTunes, but are under the Apple ID you no longer have access to, you'll need to reset that account information. You can use this link to reset your password.
https://iforgot.apple.com/
If that doesn' work or help, you'll need to contact iTunes support and have them walk you through the process of resetting the older account information. Once you know the email and password again, you can authorize your new computer and transfer any purchases from this account back to iTunes.
For all non-iTunes purchased content, you'll need to the assistance of some sort of third party software that is not supported by Apple. 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 want to sync my iPod onto my new computer with my new music and new pictures. But I dont want any of my apps and videos taken with the iPod to be deleted. What can I do to ensure that I dont loose any of my data, but get all the new data I want to sync?

Ipod will sync pics and itunes content with one and only one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
Copy everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
