I am having trouble with syncing my ipod classic to my new computor with itunes

When I have tried to sync my ipod classic to my new computor is asks of I want to erase and sync or transfer.  I selected erase and sync and it pops up with a bubble asking for my e-mail and password.  The computor has been authorized and it takes my e-mail and password but then pops up with three other e-mals form other people.  What do I do?  Should I restore the ipod classic????????

Kim, sorry, but I couldn't get what you are trying to do.
iTunes jargon
RESTORE - to erase all data, ie music, address, video etc in the connected iPod and populate them with factory settings.
Why do we need to do this? When the iPod hardisk filesystem is corrupted and the iTunes cant map the iPod hardisk file structure, to add new data, music, videos etc.
SYNC - The process, where iTunes overrides all data, music, videos in the iPod, with the iTunes Library. So if the iTunes library in your PC is blank, then iTunes will erase your iPod, till blank.
iTunes Library - the folder in your PC/MAC that contains all your data/music/video etc. The iTunes does not treat the iPod as a store, but rather as huge landfill, so you need 3rd party software to recover any data from the iPod back to the PC/MAC.

  • My laptop died, how can I plug my ipod classic into a new pc with out losing all my music, over 10,000 songs?!

    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.

  • TS1382 I have a new computer, how do I sync my Ipod Classic to the new computer

    I have a new Dell computer, how do I sync my Ipod Classic to the new computer

    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library.  If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library.  So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
    Or better yet, if you still have access to the old computer, use one of the method described in this article copy everything from the old PC to the new one.

  • Having trouble moving show to Ipod Classic

    For some reason, I'm having trouble moving a purchased TV Show (Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog) to my Ipod. Everything else has transferred fine, but this just stays in Itunes and wont go anywhere. There's more than plenty of room available, so I'm not sure what the deal is. Any suggestions?

    Hey, I had the same problem too, so I changed to option to sync all episodes instead. All 3 episodes are up, but they can't play on my iPod (iPod classic 5th gen 30gb). When I click on an episode to play it goes into the movie screen like any other movie but the screen just remains black for more than a few minutes. Anything I do to get it going just brings me back to the list of episode pages.
    I've tried removing the show and re-syncing my iPod but to no avail. Can anyone help?!! I really want to watch Dr. Horrible!

  • How do I transfer music from my old iPod classic to my new computer with a blank iTunes library?

    I have over 700 songs on my iPod classic, a movie, and a few shows.
    My old computer, which is totally fried, has my whole library.
    My new computer has a blank library.
    I want to transfer everything from my iPod classic, or even better, my iTunes library, to my new computers iTunes library.
    How do I go about doing this both manually and with some sort of automatic application assistence (i.e., something I can download to do this for me)?
    Thank you so much.

  • HT1209 I have an ipod classic and the new version of itunes, with itunes match.

    I cannot find a way of transferring a playlist from itunes to the ipod classic. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    Works the same way it always has.
    If syncing, select the content to sync and sync.
    If you choose to manually manage content, it may be helpful to enable the sidebar by doing Cntrl + S so that it is easier to drag and drop content on the device.

  • My old computer's hard drive was destroyed.  How can I get my music, which is now located solely on my ipod classic, into my new computer's itunes?

    I have already authorized the new computer using itunes.

    If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
    1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
    2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
    3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
    If you didn't purchase them through Itunes, then you'll have to download software that will strip the songs from your iPod onto your computer. And here is a guide about how to transfer iPod music back to computer. Hope it helps.

  • How can I sync my iPod classic to another iTunes library

    I need to sync my iPod classic to a new computer shared with my wife how can I sync my music to her library?

    Hello eddie8625,
    I would recommend enabling 'manual mode' on the iPod so that it can be synced to two libraries without affecting the existing content on the device.

    You can sync/manually mange iphone with one and only one computer.  If you sync/manually mange to anther, then it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
