  • I want to sync my ipod touch with my new computer. But I don't want to lose any data from my apps.

    I want to sync my ipod touch with my new computer. But i don't want to lose any data from my apps. If i erase and sync does it only erase music and videos or does it include apps as well? I specifically don't want to lose any data from Instagram, I don't want to have to start over. Any help is greatly appreciated Thanks

    Copy everything from your old computer to your new one.

  • After syncing my ipod touch with a new computer, will an icloud backup restore my app data including game progress?

    I have an ipod touch which I have USB synced in the past on my Windows Vista laptop.
    Now I want to stop USB Syncing with the laptop and USB start syncing instead with my Windows 7 Desktop machine instead.
    Both PCs have the latest version of itunes running and I have transferred all purchases from the ipod to the Windows 7 desktop machine.
    Home sharing is turned on on both PCs, so now their libraries appear identical.
    The ipod has the latest IOS installed, and I have set up automatic icloud back ups for the ipod.
    If i USB sync the ipod with the windows 7 desktop PC it warns me that all data will be erased, and replaced with data from that computer. I know that this will mean that all game progress is lost since it is not included in a USB sync backup and virgin copies of all the apps will be loaded onto the ipod.
    My Question is this;
    What is the best way to keep the app data intact on the ipod?
    Do I simply carry out a USB sync with the Windows 7 desktop PC, let it wipe all the game save info away, and then resore an icloud backup onto the ipod?
    Will this result in me being able to sync with the Windows 7 desktop PC and keep my game save data intact?
    Thanks

    Two ways.
    - You can sync with the new computer by following these instructions
    Sync Your iOS Device with a New Computer Without Losing Data - How-To Geek
    All the apps have to be in the iTunes library so the app data will have a place to go.
    - Or just restore from iCloud backup. That will also pull down the apps from iCloud. Your apps data will also be restored.

  • Sync iPod Touch with entirely new media library BUT RETAIN existing apps

    Hi fellows. I'm creating a new media library where all the music, etc, are properly tagged/organized/album art embedded. I'm currently sync-ing my iPod Touch to my existing library, which is quite messed up, i.e. no album art, crappy tagging, etc.
    When I'm eventually done with the new library, I will like my iPod Touch to sync to that library but, my Touch has many AppStore apps (linked with the current library) & I will like to keep them (along with whatever data the apps are storing as well).
    I'm concerned if I sync my Touch to the new, nicely-done library, all the apps will be wiped, i.e. I haven't downloaded all the many apps onto the new library, currently it's just music. I do not mind the music on the Touch being wiped as a result of sync-ing with the new library (I actually want that, i.e. remove all the crappily-tagged music & grab all the nicely-tagged versions from the new library into the Touch), but I want the apps on my Touch to remain untouched/un-moved/not reloaded.
    Is my requirement possible? I was hoping when I sync my Touch to the new library it'll ask me to "Transfer Purchases" from the Touch to the library (which is the best scenario), but I'm *afraid afterwards it'll reload all the apps* on my Touch and all the application data stored within each apps, will be wiped. Any experience/advice?

    - Move your iTunes media library to the new computer by:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    - Copy any synced photos to the new computer too.
    - Connect the the iPod to the new 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.

  • HT1386 I repeatedly receive an error mesage when trying to sync my ipod touch with my new computer, "some of the items in the itunes library, were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized for them on this computer."  My computer is authorized

    I repeatedly receive an error message when trying to sync my ipod touch with my itunes library with my new computer which reads, "Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized on this computer." However when I try and authorize my computer I always receive the message that this computer is authorized. What am I doing wrong?  I'm missing about 100 songs as a result of this error!!

    Could the items be purchased by another account?

  • How to sync iPod Touch on a different computer

    My piece of junk PC got another virus last night and is currently disabled. (I am on husband's Mac right now). So I'm trying to access my podcasts & all that on my husband's computer. We have "authorized" his computer. He also set me up with my own User account (so our iTunes songs, shows and videos STAY separate).
    But "sync iPod" is grayed out for me now.
    When I try manually dragging last night's Podcasts to my iPod, nothing happens.
    When I try and do a checkbox that says "Sync iPod" it threatens to "replace my podcasts" with what I've selected (which I am afraid might mean that if I download last night's Anderson Cooper podcast, it could wipe out the other podcasts that I've put on my iPod and would like to keep). I am not sure this would happen, but I sure don't feel like taking a chance.
    So does anyone else know what to do when you try and use your iPod touch on a different computer?
    thanks

    OK, thanks. I heard that someplace else, too. This PC torture has got to end.
    Time to go find a MacBook that I can afford. Or even a desktop Mac for that matter, though I really did want it to be a laptop....
    (sigh)
    Thanks for your help!

  • Synching a ipod touch with a new computer but keeping an app.

    Hi,
    Since my daughter got a new ipod touch I want to use her old one. Orginially I synched my daughter's ipod touch with her laptop and now that it is mine I want to synch it with my laptop. Trouble is that using her old ipod touch I bought an app for myself to use(Jamie Oliver's Meal App for $7.99) and I want to keep it. When I try to connect the old ipod touch with my computer it says that it will erase everything. Any ideas on how I can put my music and my movies and keep the app?
    Thanks

  • How to sync iPhone 4 with a new computer?

    Hi,
    I just gave my iPhone 4 to someone else but he said he is unable to sync the phone to his computer. He said that the phone is still 'tied' to my computer. How can he sync the iPhone without erasing anything on the phone?
    Thanks in advance!

    This is definitely not a good idea.  Either he owns the iPhone or you own it.
    Once he takes over ownership of the iPhone, he should do Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings and make the iPhone his own.  Otherwise, you will get in each other's way regarding messages, FaceTime, music, apps, etc.
    Once the iPhone is erased, he can set it up as new using his computer and his iTunes.

  • My computer was stolen. How do I sync my ipod touch with my new computer without wiping all the music

    My laptop was stolen and now when I try to sync my music it wants to wipe my ipod touch 5th generation. How do I get around this ?

    There are quite a few third party apps that will copy media from the ipod to the computer. Try searching the cnet downloads site or other reputable sites.
    Good luck!

  • HT1296 I bought a new computer and I want to sync my iPod Touch with the new computer without losing data.

    I bought a new computer and want to use the new computer to sync data with my iPod touch.  I understand that you can only sync a device with one computer at a time.  This if fine because I don't care to sync my iPod with the old computer anymore.  How do I set up my new computer to be the computer that syncs with my iPod touch from now on, without losing any data?

    You don't.
    When you sync to a different computer it erases the content from the ipod and replaces it with the data from the new computer.
    Just copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one, then sync

  • I bought a new computer and I need to sync my ipod touch with the new computer

    I bought a new HP laptop and I need to register my ipod touch so that it recognizes when I plug it in to the laptop.  how do I do this

    I somehow suspect this is not what you mean:
    iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420 - and another helpful post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17828050
    This is more likely what you mean:
    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.
    Basically what the above is saying is you should transfer your itunes library from your other computer, not try to do it from the iPoad.

  • Why can't I sync my iPod touch with a new computer without deleting everything?

    I recently got a new laptop, but now when I try to sync my iPod touch, it says "The iPod "Jessica's iPod" could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPod". I have authorized my computer, and when I try to authorize it again it says "This computer is already authorized".

    Maybe:

    One you sort the Authorization out you have to do the following to lose the content on the iPod

  • Sync ipod touch to a new computer without deleting apps

    Hi,
    I have a 1st gen itouch. It was synced with the family computer, but I got a my own laptop. When I try to sync it, it says that I will need to erase it. Can I do this without losing my apps and data? Both computers are authorized on the same itunes account.

    First tansfer iTunes purchases to your computer:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    Then copy the iPod backup file from the family computer to yur computer.  For its location see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: About backups
    Then connect the iPod to your computer and restore the iPod from the backup that you just copied to your computer.
