HT1495 How do you sync the music already on an iPod to a new computer/itunes?

We are trying to sync our music on the iPod to the library in the new iTunes account....can someone please help?!?

Connect it and use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes. If you need to authorize the computer, press the Alt and S keys and choose that option.

    when your computer crashes how do your get the music on your iphone back on your new computer?

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:

    Note t transfer iTunes purchases you have to know the account ID and password for the account that purchased them.  Also, if you did not purchase the music, you are not entitled to use the music.

  • How can i get the music ive copied from cd onto my new computer

       how can i get the music that i have copied from cd's on to my new computer.(the computer my phone was sync to blew up)  if i sync to the newit i will all the music  thats on my phone, 

    Restore from the backup of your old computer. Copy it from the CDs.
    Look for a 3rd party app that can do what you want. Senuti has been
    mentioned in the past - I do not use it so cannot comment on how
    well it works. I would assume there are others as well.
    iOS does not natively support syncing music back from the iPhone
    to a computer.

  • I need to find out how to transfer all the music from my old IPOD to my new IPOD.  Not all of my music was purchased on ITUNES.

    I need to find out how to transfer all my music from my original IPOD nano to my new IPOD nano.   I want to keep both and not all of my music was purchased on ITUNES.  Please help!

    Your music should be in your iTunes library, that is how it gets synced to the iPod. If that music is not present in the iTunes library, you will need to get a 3rd party software for the computer to get the music off the original iPod and then move it to the iTunes library to be able to sync it to the new iPod. You can see some additional information in this tip supplied by a fellow user. Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

  • How do I get the music on my i pod to my new computer with an empty librar

    I acedently erased all my music on my i pod while I was out traveling, so I filled the ipod with a lot of music from another computer (so I cant just burn the music on to a cd/dvd).
    Now I have just bougt a new computer and downloaded itunes and I would just like to know how I can get all the music on the i pod into the itunes library on my new computer...??

    You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not have caught up with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

    There is a new function in iTunes 7 under File, "Transfer Purchases from iPod" which transfers iTMS purchases. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

  • HT1296 How can I sync the content on my iPad 1 to my new computer without losing anything?

    My old computer (a PC) is crashed and is no longer usable. I hadn't synced my iPad to that computer in several months. Now, I have a Mac Air and when I plug my iPad 1 into it, I get a message that states the iPad is synced with another iTunes library. I'm given the option to Erase and Sync, but that will mean that I'll lose what's currently on my iPad. Is there a way to avoid that?

    This will work with all purchased content on the iPad.
    If you have synced photos on the iPad that you want to transfer to the Mac, you will need a third party app like Photo Transfer - or an application like TouchCopy, that will transfer everything into the new iTunes library - if you care to check that out.
    1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on iTunes. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) Now connect your iPad to your MBA and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new MBA, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on iTunes / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.

    My husband has an older shuffle that he wants to transfer to his new nano. The shuffle is synced with an old laptop and we don't know how to transfer the music without losing everything. Please help!!

    Since the songs are in your itunes you can just create a playlist that matches whats on your nano. Then sync the 30gb to that playlist.

  • How do I transfer my music library from my IPOD to my new computer.  My old computer is no longer working.

    I'm trying to transfer my library to a new computer because my old computer no longer works.  I've gone through all the steps apple recommended but the ITUNES file is not recognized on my IPOD on the new computer. 

    Connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 then you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S), and then use the Music tab on the right-hand side to select which of your music to sync to the iPad's Music app
