I already have an iPod with over 2,000 songs. Just got the iPhone. If I sync my new iPhone to my computer, will all my music automatically transfer to the new phone, or will I lose everything?

When you connect the phone to your computer, you can select the music you want to sync, all music, just selected playlists, just selected artists or genres. See this: Overview of syncing iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with your computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
Look at the iPhone iOS4 User Guide

i have backed my iTunes with over 10,000 songs on a hard drive and than i reset my computer to factory settings because my email was hacked, when i downloaded the music back to my macbook pro only 2030 were able to be downloaded . how can i download all my music back?
michel p.I usually err on the sideof caution when someone says "downloaded" and take it to mean anything fro actually downloaded, to copies, to imported, to moved (frolder to folder), but even if they were "downloaded"... if the old email was hacked, and subseuqently closed out, that leaves the downloaded files "orphaned" if you will, belonging to the old ID. So, while they may be on the HD, they're inaccessible now.
One of the biggest reasons I NEVER keep anything in my library with DRM employed in it. I bought it. I own it. I'm not going to get locked out of it. -
I am using Tiger, 10.4.11 and have an iPod classic 120 gb working fine with about 7 gb of music on it. I just got another iPod classic 160 gb for my wife, and would like to sync it to the same iTunes file, but I got a message which says I must upgrade to iTunes 9.0 or later. If I upgrade to 9.0, will my 120 gb iPod be o.k. with that? Rumor: I have heard that iTunes 9.0 or later changes the format of the music.
Thanks to all for reviewing my question. I am trying to avoid a possible disaster here, having to load about 90 cd's all over again. If anyone knows, could you tell me what will happen if I download iTunes 9.0, and install it. Will it copy all of my music into it, or fail to recognize it, or recognize 8.0 and just upgrade rather than replace it? Thanks again. Tom

Can this new service of itunes/match allow you to retrieve songs from an older style ipod, store them in match, and then download them onto a new computer/itunes? The original computer that contained these songs has since been replaced b/c it broke down. There were alot of songs on there and now I can't get the songs onto my new computer. Can match work from ipod > match > computer?

Only if it is an iPod touch that you can turn on iTunes Match.

Did you make a backup of all the important files on this computer before it broke down?
Try this -> http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/home/
Then backup your computer after you recover the items. -
Home Sharing one Mac Book Air Will Not allow Music to Transfer to the MAC
First here's what we have
2 users, (2) iPhones and Mac Book Pro and Mac Book Air and a Windows PC
All computers are set to manually manage music.
I have home sharing set on all 3 computers. When l log into either the Macs or the PC I can drag music I want between either computer with no problems. All computers are authorized. When my wife logs into her account on her Mac Air she cannot move any music from the shared computers. We have separate iTunes accounts. Anyone have any idea, why when using her user account she cannot drag the music files over to her Mac AirStephenm52 wrote:

for home sharing to work, iTunes must be authorized to the same user account.

I have just bought an ipod classic, I already have an ipod nano. The new ipod was connected to the computer to charge and it named itself with my name on the old nano, how do I get the computer to recognise the new one?
My mistake, it was nothing to do with format. It woldn't sync because my movies were HD. HD movies won't sync to an iopd classic 160 GB but when you purchase a HD movie, itunes gives you a SD vervsion of the movie which is compatible with the ipod. Just needed to go to store, click movies, click purchased and untick the HD box and there you have the SD versions. Download the SD versions and then sync your ipod and bobs you uncle, movies are on the ipod

my laptop died, how can I plug my ipod classic into a new pc with out losing all my music, over 10,000 songs?!
Please help!Was your iPod previously set up to Manually Manage (where you dragged/dropped the music) or was it set to auto sync (where it started sycning as soon as you plugged it in.)?
If it was set to Manual, you have no worries. Just continue on your way.
If it was set to Auto, you will have to transfer your purchases or redownload them from the iTunes store.
You're either going to have to get the other music back from the websites/CDs you got them from before or find an iPod ripping software program that will do it for you. -
I upgraded my iPod Touch 4th Gen yesterday. Now it won't play music, which is the main thing I use it for. Over 11,000 songs [it's a 64GB model] -- will I actually have to restore the device and re-add all that music?
[Music files are still there, and I can play them on my computer directly from the iPod [just one track at a time] but not in the usual way, through headphones.]
On the Summary page of iTunes for the iPod, it shows 50-plus gigabytes of "Other" content and no music, which was not previously the case. I assume this is related to the problem.
I can bring up individual tracks on the iPod and see cover art, but cannot play the music.iCloud is free, iTunes match is $25 a year.
I had the same problem and when I went to Settings I had 0 songs, even though they were obviously still there since I only had 15GB free on my 64GB device.
I decided to do a complete reset/restore of my 4th gen iPod Touch, Bad move! I've been messing with it for hours, and it simply won't restore--it keeps hanging on a black screen with an Apple logo and a progress bar at about 10%, sometimes it goes completely blank and tries again, with the same result. (I've posted my question/plea for help here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19735862 )
I'm ready to bang my head against the wall! I can put the device in recovery mode, connect to iTunes on my computer, and get it back to the setup screen, but when I go through the process again and try to do an iCloud backup I get the same reset/restore loop.
I could start from scratch, but I really, really, really don't want to go through all of my hundreds of apps, reinstall them one by one, etc. etc. etc.
I thought that once I started using iCloud, I didn't need to sync with iTunes anymore--guess I was wrong. -
How do i find my serial number if i dont have my iPod with me?
how do i find my serial number if i dont have my iPod with me?
If your iPod Touch was the last device that you connected to and synced with your iTunes library, there is a chance you might be able to get the serial # to show up in the Device Connectivity diagnostic report. See here for instructions on running this test.
iTunes for Windows: Device Connectivity Tests
If you have previously registered the device with Apple, you can view it's serial # in your list of devices you have registered under your Apple ID.
https://expresslane.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.do
See here: iPod: How to find the serial number
Lastly, you can also head to iTunes -> Preferences -> Devices and hover you mouse over the iPod's backup and the serial number should appear in a popover.

I have an iPod with iOS 4.2.1 and would like to up date to version 5. The pc I normally sync with has XP operating system. So I can't up date to iTunes 10. And my iPod doesn't show the software update button shown in the article. What can I do?
You cannot update it if you can't get the latest version of iTunes. Actually, the latest version of iTunes will run in XP if you have Service Pack 2. Also, you posted in the iPad forum, and your profile shows you have an iPad, but in your post, you say it is an iPod. Is it an iPad or an iPod?

I have over 16,000 songs in my iTunes library so I manually manage the music on all my devices. I bought a new iPod to replace an older one. I'd like to transfer all 900 songs to my new device without having to handpick each song from my music library. Is there a way to do it?
No. I have quite a few more 16,000, so I don't manually manage. Making playlists for each device makes things much easier to organize. You can create regular lists of essential tracks and smart playlists to automatically catch new content, top rated, most played etc. If you'd done it this way all along configuring a new or restored device would be the work of moments.

how do I set up my airport to make a connection with my Hp? I already have it set up for my mac laptop just not sure how to set it up so that theres also a connection with my Hp
I set up my new HP Descjet 3054A . I had a problem becouse Apple give me CD as a driver. The thing was that CD wasn good for this printer becouse it was old software:) I had to go to Apple store so the specialist had to download me he wright driver. Becouse I didnt wannet to screw this up . When he downloaded driver I fired it up at house and thingworks perfect. The thing is when you download all the software from HP side . Then you have to connect your MAC to printer via USB . Fallow the instructions it should works. Worked for me. Good Luck!
