Thanks

You can transfer the purchases you made on your old iPhone 3 by plugging it in to iTunes and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases from your IPhone to the iTunes on your computer. This will get music you purchased in iTunes, apps, etc. (e.g., movies).
But for the rest you would need to restore a backup of your newly deceased computer.

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. That is how it works
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

iTunes sends me to website after asking me to download newest iTunes verision. If I download newest version from website it replaces my old version completely including my songs and playlists. How do I update my version of iTunes without replacing it?

Don't worry, new installation will still keep your playlist and library.

Playlist changed order (and I did nothing!). And now I can't move items, either! I have new songs that I want to put on my Nano, but I am afraid to sync. Help! Thanks.

I just logged into iTunes on my MacBook Pro and my favority playlist changed the order of the songs (and I did nothing!). I did not click any columns to sort differently or anything along those lines. In addition, I added some songs and moved them from Recently Added to this Playlist, but they won't move (well, I can drag them to where I want them, but they don't stay there!). I have new songs that I want to put on my Nano (and other non-Apple device players), but I am afraid to sync. Help! Thanks.

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Did you update the iOS via iTunes? Directly on the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

I have music on my iPhone that I want to transfer to my computer iTunes library

My laptop died and with it went my old iTunes library which included many albums I had uploaded into iTunes from CDs purchased the old fashioned way, at a music store. When I backed up my iPhone 4S to my iTunes library on my new computer only the music originally purchased through Apple appeared. My iPhone 4S still has all this music on it and I would like to transfer it from the phone to my library so I can put it on my new iPhone 6.
I am wary of doing any more synching because I am afraid the old music on my phone will disappear. Can anyone shed some light on how I might be able to do this? Thanks in advance, hope my question is clear. I wish that the synching process included the simple ability to transfer specific stuff (e.g. drag and drop) from one device to the other.

I downloaded CopyTrans. Still just learning my way around it but already transferred all my music from my phone to my computer very easily. Seems like a good program. I paid $29 for the full package.

I have the old ipod touch with no camera and I changed my apple ID account, which shows on my ipod. but when i try to download a song or update my apps my old apple ID comes up, how do I change it for my new Apple ID to come up?

I have an older Ipod Touch that is (I believe) the third generation because I have no camera on my ipod. I recently changed my Apple ID and password on my Itunes account. But when I try to update my apps or download new software/music my old apple ID comes up and I can't change it. On the itunes store and my settings it shows my new Apple account. How do I stop from my old account from coming up and my new account appearing when I try to download something new?

- To change ID go to Settings>Store and sign out and sign in with the one you want. If you iPod has iOS 5 you may have to also go to Settings>iCloud and sign into the second account.
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

I have an old iPhone 3Gs with software version 4.3.5, I am trying to use it again, and it works fine, but I have not been able to update the software. Every time I try, I get the following message:
"there was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone, the network connection could not be established". This happens even though I have a working internet connection.
Besides that, all the other functions work properly, even synchronize apps and library.
Will I be able to update the software?

look around the forum tons of people repport that they can't update
makes you suspect that apples update servers can't meet the depand of too many users

I have the iPhone 5s. I synced it with my Mac and got all the old apps from my old phone. I was not able to update any of the apps on the old phone and they will not update on the new iPhone 5s either! What can I do?

Hey there rmflint,
It sounds like you are wanting to update the Apps that were synced over from your computer to your new iPhone 5s. If you are clicking Updates in the App Store in the bottom right corner, would you mind clarifying what happens when you are trying to update them?

Downloading previously purchsed music from iCloud is based on your iTunes ID, not your iCloud ID. (It uses "iTunes in the Cloud", which has nothing to do with your iCloud account, just your iTunes ID.)
If you are using a different iTunes ID on your iOS devices than the one you used to purchase the music, you'll have to sync the music to your devices using iTunes. If they are using the same iTunes ID, you can download the music to your devices as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.

I have an old iphone and have a new one as well. I would like to use my old on as an ipod but itunes not longer recognizes it. Any ideas? I have been using it for a month with no problems until tonight. I restarted my computer..still no fix.

Looks like its fixed. I am syncing it now. A lot of the answers are for the new iphone so i had to mess with a bunch of settings as well. My old phone is now an 8 gig ipod. the books app no longer works and that *****.....but better than nothing...

I used to be able to sync my iphone with itunes, but now when I plug my iphone into my computer it no longer syncs or even shows the device icon. Could this be because I have an old iphone and it's not compatible with the latest version of itunes?
