HT5100 Sync iPod (Shuffle) with newly installed iTunes; songs deleted? :(

My music from my ipod (shuffle) is not on my ipod anymore after my newly installed itunes on my PC asked me to sync my ipod music, where did it go? My itunes library did not have any songs which is why I thought the songs wouldn't be replaced. I need help ...

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party progtam like one of those discussed here
Copy music
- WHen everything is on your computr connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup. Do that 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 does not contain synced media like apps and music.

  • How can I delete individual songs off of my ipod shuffle with this new itunes?

    We used to be able to delete individual songs off of the ipod shuffle and now that itunes changed we can't figure out how to do that.

    Hello ArmyWife8610,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.  I found an article with some steps to delete photo albums off of an iPhone.  The way you delete the photos will depend on whether they were taken with the iPhone (on the Camera Roll) or if you synced the albums:
    To delete photos and videos from your device
    To delete synced photos and videos
    In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Sync photos from."
    On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
    On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Click Apply.
    To delete Camera Roll photos and videos
    There are two methods to delete items from the Camera Roll:
    Import the Camera Roll to your computer, choosing to delete items after import.
    or
    Delete photos and videos from your device manually. Open the Photos application, open the Camera Roll, tap the Action button, tap each photo to select it, and tap the Delete button.
    Note: For photos and videos you want to save for later, import them to your computer before deleting them from the Camera Roll.

  • Synching iPhone with newly-installed iTunes

    I plugged in my iPhone to newly-installed iTunes on a new laptop (to synch it) and a message popped up telling me iTunes would take my iPhone back to its factory settings and that I would lose my media etc. Will I get it back? And how?
    Thanks

    I would recommend copying your library from the other computer to this one. This article will help with that:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
    The content WILL be wiped when you sync the phone. But if you have the library that has all your media in it copied over and you can see it all in iTunes, then you will need to select what to sync back over. Use this to assist with that if needed.

    If you cannot copy the original library to your new computer, then you can always redownload your past purchases free of charge from the iTunes store.

  • HT1296 I Want to sync my iPod content to newly installed iTunes on same PC after reinstall of iTunes (but it tells me iPod is synced with another library)

    After my PC crashed (MicroSoft blue screen of death), I had to re-format my hard drive, reinstall Windows 7, and ultimately re-install iTunes. I have over 7000 songs on my iPod and want to load them into iTunes, but iTunes tells me my iPod is synced with another library and wants to overwrite my data.  How do I make this new version of iTunes accept all the info on my iPod into a new library? I have authorized this computer as one of 4 of my 5 allowed (note I have authorized this same machine 3 times due to Windows upgrades and iTunes reinstall...)

  • Sync the old iphone with newly installed iTunes....

    Hi,
    I recently formatted my laptop and hence my iTunes got erased ( everything). Now when I try to connect my iPhone4 with the laptop and try to sync it, it says, everything on the iphone will sync with iTunes, which obviously would erase every app that I'd installed on my phone.
    What can be done to resolve this??? Also, I had not taken a backup on iCloud....Please help....

    Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • I have changed computers and installed iTunes on my new computer. I want to sync my iphone now but the "sync" program indicates that it will remove all data on my phone and replace it with the newly installed itunes that does not have my information.

    I have a new computer and have installed iTunes on it.
    Now I want to sync my iphone but the new itunes on the new computer wants to remove everything on my niphone and replace it with what's on the newly installed itunes data but it does not have my data.
    How can I sync the new itunes with my iphone and not have my phone data wiped out?
    Thanks,

    There is no way to stop iTunes from doing exactly what it is designed to do.
    The iPhone is designed to sync with one and only one computer.
    If you have moved/copied your iTunes library from your old computer to your new one, then iTunes wiping your device is no problem.  You would simply sync and iTunes will put all the content back.

  • Syncing iPod to newly installed iTunes

    will i lose all my songs if i try to sync my iPod to a newly installed version of iTunes? i uninstalled iTunes awhile ago and want to reinstall and sync my iPod but heard i may lose the songs. does anybody know if this is true? thanks in advance!

    No uninstalling and re-installing iTunes should have no affect on the content that was stored in it.  So after re-installing iTunes, your content is still appearing there, you can safely sync your iPod.
    If not, you'll need to re-import all that content back into your library from your computer again.

  • Shuffle Update after installing iTunes 5.x and iPod 1.1.2

    I installed iTunes 5.0.1.4 and ran the iPod Updater 2005-09-23 and now my iTunes will not update the songs on my iPod Shuffle (it actually erased my songs). I have totally uninstalled iTunes and the Updater 2005-09-23 and re-installed them per another post on the forum. Prior to installing the new iTunes everything was working okay. I should also mention that the amber and green lights flash when I try to play anything - i.e. maybe the iTunes download was coincidental and not the problem. Any insight or help would be appreciated.

    I have tried the following:
    1) Uninstalled the iPod Updater.
    2) Uninstalled iTunes 5.0.x
    3) Rebooted
    4) Deleted the C:\Program Files\iPod folder
    5) Reinstalled iTunes 4.7.x from my IPS install CD
    6) Reinstalled the iPod software from the CD
    In the middle of the reinstall of the Windows iPod software it asks you to connect the IPS to see if it needs formated. It recognized my iPod and said that it did in fact need to be formated. I gave it the Ok and it came back telling me that it had trouble communicating with the IPS and to disconnect and reconnect. I did so, same story again.
    It seems that iTunes 5 and the latest updater hosed the IPS hardware or firmware somehow. Needless to say, I'm not happy.

  • Sync is grayed out.  Can no longer sync iPod classic with iTunes.

  • Is my IPOD shuffle with software 1.0.1 compatible with iTunes 11.1.3

    Is my IPOD shuffle with software 1.0.1 compatible with ITunes version 11.1.3.  I tunes doesn't seem to recognize the shuffle anymore.  Was this just a ploy to get us to buy new IPODS?

    My much older 1st gen and 2nd gen shuffles still work with the latest iTunes, so I don't think it's a "ploy."
    If you are using the iTunes 11.x for the first time, the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) may be hidden.  To show the sidebar, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    The shuffle does not appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES?
