    how can i sync my iPod with new iTunes on new computer without losing my old library? There is no backup iTunes/iPod files available.

    If you connect your ipod to your computer then look in the hidden folder labeled "iPod_Control" . (This is on a Mac version, but i think it's the same for Windows) and in "Music" is all your music mixed up in different folders. Just drag the MUSIC folder onto itunes then BAM! It's done ;D

  • I had my own laptop with my own iTunes account on it. However the laptop is now broken. My partner has his laptop but his already got his own iTunes account. How can I sync my iPod and iPhone to this laptop but use my iTunes?

    Can we both use the same iTunes but get all our music ect into one? Or can we share our separate accounts between devices? We both have iPod touch, iPhone 4 and an iPad each. At the moment I can't seem to get to my iTunes as it come up that it will delete everything in my phone/iPod but u have downloaded things to the devices directly and don't want to lose that?

    Hello Miss,
    To set up a new Windows user account, if it is Windows 7, go to Start > Control Panel > User Accounts and Family Safety > Add or Remove User Accounts > Create New Account.
    The old laptop is probably on Windows XP, so the menus may look a little different.
    Once they each have their own Windows user account, they can each work with their own iTunes library, and all content will be independently managed.  That should avoid snarls and demerits in the coming year. 

  • Can i sync an ipad and iphone on the same computer

    I've got an iPhone 3GS and am thinking of getting an iPad 2 as well.  How does syncing the 2 devices on the same computer work?  Also, can I share Apps that I have purchased across the 2 devices, or do you have to pay for them twice?

    I am syncing my iPad and my iPod Touch using iTunes on the same computer.
    It's even possible to connect both devices at the same time to iTunes.
    Yes, apps are shared between devices, but only if those apps are actually able to run on both devices.
    You therefore only need to buy a certain app once and use it on your two devices.
    Your devices are in fact administratively attached to your Apple ID.

  • HT1296 Can you sync more than one iphone to the same computer without having the two combine all information?

    Am I able to sync to iphones to the same computer, but have both phones and information on both stay separate? I do not have a computer at this time and want to sync my phone on my brother's computer for backup purposes. Is this possible?

    Create a new user login (with a password) for your stuff.
    This way, your data won't get mixed up.

  • Blue screen of death when syncing to iPod and iPhone.

    I wish I could laugh. "Upgraded" to iTunes 8 and no longer can use my computer to sync to either my iPhone or my iPod. Thanks for the upgrade Apple. Now that I cannot update my portable music devices I have the extra time to stare at the new visualizer. Woooopie.
    Apple is happy to point out how unfriendly Microsoft products are, but since I got this Vista box I have never seen the BSOD... Until tonight.
    So, what to do? Wait for a "solution" to my upgrade, or try to remove 8 and reinstall 7? After reading about the changes to the iTunes library making a revert difficult, I am thinking I watch TV instead of listen to music. On the television... that is...

    Replying to own thread because I wanted to share success. Turned power off on HP Laserjet. No reboot needed. Launched iTunes and performed sync with iPod and iPhone. Happy days. Even happier when Apple redoes driver so I can use iTunes without having to power off my printer.
    An honest mistake... I would imagine it would be very difficult to find a beta tester that had that combo of hardware. Imagine... Vista and a HP Laserjet. Oh... I guess we are the beta testers...

  • Syncing ipad, ipod and iphone to a new itunes library

    Hi,
    I need some guidance on how to achieve what is in my mind a relatively common problem... how do I sync my iPad, iPod (x2) and iPhone to a new computer without having to erase everything.
    The scenario is as follows. I have one iTunes library on an old PC. In my family we have an iPad, 2 iPod Touch's and an iPhone, all synced with that machine and that one account. The old PC has seen better days, so I have bought a new machine. I thought it was as easy as just installing iTunes, copying the music over, downloading the apps with my apple id, and bob's your uncle.
    Guess not, the first time I plug in the iPad it says that I need to erase the darn thing. You can imagine the drama in the house... one is about to lose their Smurf farm, the other is about to lose their levels in Angry birds, etc, etc. Don't worry about my contacts and emails, nobody cares about that. It's all the data that is stored with the various apps of the various members of my family that has everyone up in arms.
    So my question is how can I basically make this whole lot work with my new computer? I am sure that I am not the first one buying a new computer, so I am (hopefully) sure that Apple has build this bit of logic somewhere in their software and devices. Just can't find it, and judging by the amount of blogs, articles and posts dedicated to this it appears that there are a couple of million other people that are equally unable to find this bit of functionality.
    Please help... my kids and the wife are not allowing me to get rid of this old PC until this is resolved.
    Thanks.

    This is copied from another thread. I think it is pretty clear. Here is the link to the thread as well. You will need to do this for each device if they all have different content on them.

    1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. 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 laptop 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 laptop, 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 Edit / 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.
    If you have more questions, post back.

  • Can i sync my iPad and iPhone without hooking it up to a computer

    can i sync my ipad and iphone without hooking it up to a computer

    That all depends on what you mean by sync. If you want to share iTunes content such as music, apps and videos, then yes, they both must be logged in to the same iTunes store account.
    If you want to sync contacts, calendars, notes and reminders, again the answer is yes, you just need to sync them to the same iCould account.
    For non-iTunes music there's iTunes Match.
    To sync photos there' Photo Stream.
    It there something else you want to sync that I have missed?

    If the album in question is showing as purchased on the iTunes Store but isn't appearing in iTunes on your Mac, you may want to try redownloading it; the following article may be helpful:

  • How can i take the pictures from my old ipod and transfer them onto my computer without deleting anything

    How can I take the pics from my old ipod and transfer them onto my computer without deleting anything?

    Pictures on an iPod are stored in a special format, optimized for the iPod's small lower resolution screen, to save storage space.  iTunes puts them into that format when syncing.  There is setting in iTunes, on the iPod's Photos screen (where you set up syncing of photos) for Include full resolution photos.  If that checkbox was checked when you synced the photos to the iPod, THEN you can Enable disk use and find those photo files on the iPod in the Photos folder. 
    Otherwise, you cannot get your photos back, using iTunes.  There may be third-party utilities that can extract individual photos from the iPod, but they will still be lower-resolution versions of the original photo.

    Hi how do you manage an Ipod and Iphone on the same computer?
    I have my ihpone but for running and cycling i also have my ipod nano, every time i connect one or the other it wipes songs that i want to keep?
