I have an old Ipod which I loaded music many years ago. . .I no longer have the itunes which I originally loaded, however, I have a new itune account with songs loaded. . what will happen if I load these songs onto my ipod today?

I have an older ipod which many years ago I loaded my music from Itunes on another computer. . .that computer crashed. . .I now have a new Itunes account and music loaded on another computer. . I would like to add songs onto my ipod. . .can this be done?

Not without erasing what is currently on the iPod first, since an iPod can only be synced with one computer/iTunes library at a time.
A better way to go about it, is to copy everything currently on the iPod to your new iTunes library first.  Then connect it to iTunes and either choose the Erase and Sync option or restore the device to allow it to start syncing with the 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.

  • HT204266 I have always synced my iPhone with my PC, what will happen if I sync my iPhone with my new Macbook Air?

    I have always synced my iPhone with my PC, what will happen if I sync my iPhone with my new Macbook Air?
    I am hoping to switch from being dependent solely on my PC to rarely using it and having freedom to use either more Mac/iPhone and less PC, but I have my MSOffice software on the PC .
    I want to sync my iPhone and not lose anything and have a faster experience.

  • Have been told if you use the same itunes account with two iphone you will receive each others text messages, is this true

    Have been told if you use the same itunes account on two iphones, you will receive each others text messages, is this true?

    you can use the same itunes id for purchases and so on, but have separate icloud id's for imessaging and all the icloud stuff. it's not preferable, but it isn't a problem either.

  • ICloud is not compatable with my mac, what will happen to my .mac account?

    I have an older macbook pro with a core duo processor (not core duo 2) and therefore will not be able to upgrade my processing system to Lion and cannot use iCloud.  Does anyone know what is going to happen to my @mac.com email account come June?

    If don't upgrade to Lion, yes.
    Can I keep my MobileMe email address once I move to iCloud?
    Yes. If you have an active MobileMe account when you sign up for iCloud, you can keep your me.com or mac.comemail address and any email aliases you have created and move your MobileMe mail, contacts, and calendars, as well as your bookmarks, to the new service. When you're ready to make the move, go to www.me.com/move.

  • HT201248 My email address associated with my Apple ID on my iPad has been turned off from the ISp (U.S. army).   I have a new gmail account with a new Apple ID. How do I get my iPad to use my gmail account?

    Help. My old @us.army.mil email address was terminated by the army. I used that address to register my first apple id account on my iPad. I can't remember my original Apple ID number and if I ask to reset my password, Apple sends the reset link to my old non-working email address. I have a new gmail address and a new Apple ID number associated with that address. How do I get my iPad to use my new gmail address and new apple ID number?  Remember, I can't log out of my old account because I can't remember the password. Amd Apple will only reset the password by sending a link to my old, non functioning army email account. ( I hate army webmail for canceling all retired military email accounts). John Marc

  • HT1420 Start a new iTunes account with songs in an existing account.

    My daughter and I share an iTunes account and have for 5 years. I want to separate her and my songs and establish a separate account for her.
    How can I do this without repurchasing all of her songs. She has over 7,000?

    You can create a new account for her, but all existing purchases/downloads will remain tied to your existing account, and you can't transfer them to the new account. As long as that account is authorised on the computer's iTunes that she will be syncing any devices to, and those songs are on that computer, then she should be able to continue to use them.

  • Waiting for the new Q10 to hit sprint but what will happen to my email?

    I am currently waiting for the new Q10 to hit sprint.  but i am hearing that i will no longer be able to use my blackberry.net email with the new blackberry.  i currently use it as my primary email.  1st is it true they will no longer have blackberry email and if so what steps do i need to take in order to make a smooth transistion?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    1. yes, the blackberry.net email is no longer available... and quite honestly, in my opinion, this is a good thing. The blackberry.net email is not available anywhere except ON your BlackBerry, you cannot view it anywhere but on the handheld device itself and no backup otherwise. Get a free gmail, yahoo or Outlook.com account.
    2. Read this:  Article ID: KB33260 BlackBerry (hosted) email address forwarding for BlackBerry 10 OS
    So, create and start using the other free email account now. When you finally transition over to BlackBerry10, you will have your solution in place for forwarding the blackberry.net email account.

  • Transferring my Itune account (with song library) to another computer

    I need to transfer my Itune to another computer which I am going to connect the same ipod. How am I going to do it so that I will still have my songs?
    Thanks.

    I don't have Match but I think it just deals with iTems on an individual basis.
    There is:
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.
    Windows users see tip at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18879381
    The above places the whole library on a different computer but is a bit much to do on a regular basis.

  • What will happen when I put my jailbroken iPhone 4 in the computer?

    I have a jailbroken iphone 4 still running on 4.3.2 firmware and I would like to get rid of the jailbreak and update it to 5. I understand that it will take my jailbreak off, which I have no problem with, but I'm terrified to plug into the computer. The computer I used for my iphone and itunes got a virus and everything was wiped out. I recently got a new macbook, but none of my info for itunes is on there and I'm scared if I put my iphone into the macbook I'll lose all of contacts! That's what I'm worried about. I don't care about the music or the apps and not so much the pictures. I'm just scared to lose my contacts. So does anyone know what will happen since it's jailbroken and I'm on a completely different computer?

    When you jailbreak you void your warranty and give up any right to help on these forums.
    Google your problem.
    Good luck.

  • What will happen if i delete my icloud account from my macbook?

  • One itunes account, two ipads (no cloud). What will happen when I sync the new ipdad the first time?

    My original iPAD is full of pictures, music, books and apps and was recently synced (iOS7) to my PC.
    Just bought a new iPAD (Mini), and not sure what will happen if I sync it to my PC. Will the failry empty Mini wipe out all my content on the PC? or can I just select what from my PC I wat to sync to this new iPAD?

    No, syncing an additional iDevice to a computer will have no affect on the original.
    Syncing is per device.
    Connect the new device, select the content desired to sync and sync.

  • TS1389 I had an hotmail account many years ago, and since then got a yahoo account.  I tried to play a song that was purchased on hotmail, however I don't think that account exists any more and I can't play those songs?

    I had a hotmail account many years ago and purchased several ITunes.  I found some of those old songs and tried to play them but needed authorization to do so.  It keeps putting up this old account, and the passwords keeps coming up wrong?  Since I don't use that old account, it is no longer in use.  I do have a new Yahoo account with I Tunes, but won't let me use it for the old songs.
    Thanks,

  • Transferred backed-up data from external hard disk to new hard drive on my MacBook Pro which seemed to be successful. I now find that some (or maybe all) old emails have been resent. Can anyone tell me what has happened?

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • If I have converted my purchased iTunes songs to a lower bit rate what will happen when I join iTunes match? Will they match up or will these be stored as duplicates of the same song?

    If I have converted my purchased iTunes songs to a lower bit rate what will happen when I join iTunes match? Will they match up or will these be stored as duplicates of the same song?
    I ask because I primarily use my work laptop which has limited space so I usually convert my purchases to 160k from 256k in order to save space. I want to sign up for iTunes Match but I'd like to know before I do so I can understand how I will have to set up my library.

    What I may do is start a brand new library there, copy my tracks from my work laptop using Home Share and then the script to get things in sync before starting over again there too.
    Why create a new library? Just add the tracks from the laptop to the existing library on the Mac.
    crichton007 wrote:
    I was just hoping to hear definitively whether or not there was some sort of intelligence built into iTunes Match that would match these up...
    How do you mean? If you down-convert purchased tracks you've fundamentally changed the files so iTunes can no longer recoginize them as "purchased." And, indeed, they no longer are since they are brand new files. Of course these new files will only be "matched" or "uploaded."

  • What will happen if i mention like load-on-startup -1 /load-on-startup   ?

    Hi All,
    In my web.xml what will happen if i mention like <load-on-startup>
    -1</load-on-startup> ?

    It's not WebLogic-specific, the load-on-startup web.xml element is a standard common component to all application servers.
    As for what it does, then yes, the BEA link explains it well enough. So that explanation applies to WAS too.
