HT1386 need to sync my old ipod with my new computer, How do I keep my old stuff on the new computer?

How can I transfer stuff from my old Ipod to my new computer?

Still did not work. I did everything listed. The program did not work as needed because it is only the free version and I should not have to pay for 3rd party software for something like this. Also, that article is outdated because windows 7 does not come with contacts software, but I managed to get it to work with a helpful post on another forum. Itunes still asked me to replace current iPod's data, I went ahead and clicked yes. I'll just go ahead and redownload all of my music and whatnot. Thanks anyway.

Most Windows users don't.
Purchase an external hard drive and use the backup software that comes with it to backup files from your computer.
Buy TouchCopy and install it on your new computer, connect your old iPod and transfer your songs to your computer.

I re-installed XP and kept the old program files on another drive, how can I transfer my bookmarks list to the new Firefox ?

I tried shifting the Profile folder contents from the old to the new, that seemed to work but I kept getting a message that my security was affected and that the problem could be in that folder so I shifted it back.

Hello Kencrews,
When you connect the iPod to the computer and iTunes is authorized for your Apple ID, then you will get a prompt to transfer the purchases from the device to the computer. Keep in mind this will only transfer purchased items from the iTunes Store.
Here is a helpful article to assist getting that done.

I have a new laptop and need to sync my itune library with it ... how do i do this ?

I have not backed up my itune library from previous laptop and have a new laptop. Got a new iphone which has all my music but since i bought a new laptop and want to sync my music on iphone with my new lapotp... how do I do this ?

the proper way is to transfer your itunes library from the old laptop and resync your iPhone to the new computer.
It will erase the iPhone and load it again from the new laptop.
If you do not have access to your old laptop and the iTunes library...
well there are ways of getting things off iPhone but you need to google for third party software to do it.

My iCloud account name was inputted incorrectly when my iPhone was set up. I made a new iCloud account but my phone still automatically loads the old and unusable iCloud account. How can I update my phone to load the new and correct account?

My iCloud account name was inputted incorrectly during initial phone set up. I created another iCloud account name but it is still the old and wrong iCloud account that automatically loads whenever I access the iCloud tab on my phone. How do I replace it my new and correct account name?

She won't after the change.
Note you can use the same Apple ID in
Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: > here to share purchased music, apps and books.
Other than that each of you should use your own Apple ID for iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, Game Center, etc.

From old to new computer- how do i keep my playlist folders in the transfer

I went from a g4 to mac mini, they are not networked. I have all my music files on ext. hd. so when i went to my mac mini everything did its thing except I lost all my playlist. I really don't want to spend time recreating them but I do want them. What is the easiest way to do this?

When I went from my PowerBook G3 to my Mini, I had the Setup Assistant move all of my account info. When I launched iTunes, there was no change in my Library. All of my music has been on an external drive.
I'm not sure how your situation is different from mine. My iTunes Library file on my new computer was the same one which had been on my old computer.
Did you already have iTunes on the Mini before transferring your setup?
I think what you need to do is locate the copy of your iTunes Library from the G4 and use it to open iTunes. Shift-launch iTunes and select that library. Alternatively, you can import that library file, and all of the playlists should be there.
And if the old computer still has the data, you can export your library/playlist and copy that file onto your new Mac for importing.

Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
- Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
- Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.

Hi had old ipod with old large library on have lost my old itunes account so opened a new one but i cannot get my library onto my new comp help!! pl

The music you purchased with the old iTunes account is tied to that account. You need to obtain the ID and password for that account. The following provides instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID
Once you get the accountinoformation you can transfer the the iTunes purchased stuff to the new computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
If you are the USA and have the latest iTunes you shuld be able to redownload them with these instructions. Again, you need the ID information.

I accidentally synced my mum's brand new iPad to my mac book air. A few days later I realised that my iTune library on my mac is completely gone. So is my iPhone 4s after I synced it with my mac. How do I get my old iTunes library back? I tried using icloud on my iphone but it stated that I have never back up my phone before. So I guess my iCloud data is gone too? But I have back up my mac in my harddrive using time machine. So how do I get my old itune library back? Please help! Thanks!

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

I am contemplating replacing my old Ipod with a 8gb touch which supposedly holds up to 1760 songs. In my ITunes library the average size of a 12 song album is 300mb which means I can get 27 albums x 12 songs is 324 songs. Where am I going wrong here?

There is about 6.9 GBs of free space on an 8 GB Touch for data storage. That translates to roughly 23 of your average albums.
Holds up to 1760 songs is based on the size of an average track which is about 3 to 4 MBs, whereas your albums have tracks averaging more like 25 MBs per track. I sort of doubt your average album holds what would be about 5 hours.

I need to sync an ipad mini with a regular ipad. If I were to open them plug them both into the same computers itunes, would they have identical information?

You will need to choose one as the "master", back that unit up to iTunes, then restore the other unit from that backup and then sync all the same content and apps. That's the only way they'd have identical data. If you need to keep then synched on an ongoing basis, you'll probably need to use some sort of cloud-based service such as iCloud or Dropbox to hold the data, which of course will require that your apps support that service for storage of documents.
Regards.
