I have a new laptop but it won't let me add songs to my iPhone

I have authorized the laptop, and it still won't let me do anything.

Because the Nano was previous synced to another comuter/iTunes library.

  • My recently new computer and iTunes won't let me add music to my iPhone. What do I do?

    I recently got a new computer. I downloaded iTunes and went to add new music to my iPhone4, but it wouldn't let me add it. When i tried to press "Manually manage music and videos" it told me that since i already synced my iphone to the old computer, i had to erase everything from my iPhone to be able to. I don't want to erase my phone. I'm pretty sure there is another way since people get a new computer everyday, but I don't know how. Help?

    Yes... that's the way it works.
    You can only sync an iDevice with one computer.
    Move or copy all the iTunes content from the old computer (or backup of the old computer) to the new computer.
    Then sync the iDevice with the new computer.  It will still wipe the device, but at this point it will not matter because all the content will be on the new computer to sync to the device.

  • I have a new iMac, but it won't let me sync my playlists from my old iPod Nano to my iTunes library. How to do this?

    The only options iTunes gives me is to erase my playlists and settings on my iPod; it won't let me download the playlists from my iPod to my iTunes account on my new iMac. If I do that, then I will have to manually re-enter every song on every playlist.
    BTW - the advice on the Apple support pages doesn't help, because the screenshots they provide are completely different than what I have on my computer.
    I did download the latest version of iTunes a few minutes ago.
    I did authorize my computer to use this iPod.
    Anyone have any ideas?

  • My laptop that had my iTunes on it has exploded (in a sense). I now have a new laptop, but I'm afraid to plug my iPod in because I know it will wipe out all 300 songs. Is there a way to put my old music on my new laptop?

    I now have a new laptop, but I'm afraid to plug my iPod in because I know it will wipe out all 300 songs. Is there a way to put my old music on my new laptop?
    (After my old laptop blew, it won't turn on anymore). I've invested quite a bit of money into my music, and it'd be a bummer if it's all gone to waste.
    Thanks in advance!

    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. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

    If you have a Mac, it's pretty easy. But you don't (should I make a pitch for you to get a MacBook Pro in the future)?
    This should help you out to sync it back to several non-Apple software:

    I have a new mac, but every time I try to transfer purchases from my iphone to it, it says it is not authorized. But it IS!~ And it uses a very old default email. I then authorize it, it tells me it is authorized already. I tried unauthorizing and re-authorizing. I have looked up help and done what it says. I tried finding users/shared/sc info  but that file is not on this Mac. My Mac is fully updated.
    please help.

    I should add that it's an HP photosmart 4280.I found it online and it shows the Mac 0SX operating system.

  • I have created a form but it won't let me 'save as PDF Form'

    Hi there,
    I have created a form but it won't let me 'save as PDF Form'.
    When I click the button a timer appears then disappears without creating the pdf form.
    I have created forms previously and not had this problem before.
    Thanks

    Are you using the FormsCentral desktop application or FormsCentral in a web browser?
    I would try the things recommended in this FAQ, the issue is different but the fix is likely similar:
    http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-4141
    You can also try sharing your form with me to see if I can save PDF, that would tell us if it is a (very rare) issue with the form or on your system.  If you'd like, share with [email protected] and please include a reference to this Forum post so I know what we are looking for, instructions for sharing your form: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2462

  • Switched computers due to a crash. I authorised the new one. It won't let me play songs in my library that were purchased from I-tunes

    Switched computers due to a crash. I authorised the new one. It won't let me play songs in my library that were purchased from I-tunes. Please help.

    All content that you download from iTunes is tied to the account that downloaded it, and it can't be transferred to or merged with another account - so you will need to authorise that old account on that computer if you want to use its content.
    If you still have access to the email accoun then you can try getting the password reset via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password
    If you don't have access to the email account then you could try contacting iTunes support and see if they can help you get access to the account : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

    On your iPhone...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account...  Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • My hard drive crashed on my apple computer recently. I have a new one, but it won't sync with apple tv1, and I want to retrieve my photos from teh appletv1. It appears in devices now, but won't let me go any further with it. Help

    The hard drive crashed on my apple computer and I lost a lot of photos. I want to recover them from my apple tv1, but the computer won't seem to pair up with the apple tv. The Apple tv does appear in devices, but it won't let me go any further. The 'apply' button is a pale grey colour and you can't click on it. Help!!

    there is no facility to recover your photos from the appletv.
    the only way to link the appletv to your new "system" is to remove the existing itunes link and then link it to the new itunes - this will delete all content from the appletv though.

    Unless you want a new computer, forget about AVCHD. It requires too much muscle to edit comfortably on anything but the fastest computer.
    What camera is nice, depends on your budget. Formats that are easy to edit are HDV, DVCProHD (P2) and XDCAM. In the consumer range you could look at the Canon HV40 or XH-A1s, in the prosumer range look at the Panasonic AG-HPX170, Canon XH-H1s, JVC GY-ND250 or Sony HVR Z5 or Z7 and all Sony XDCAM cameras, especially the EX1 and EX3. In the professional range look at the Sony PDW-F355 or upward.
