I purchased a new computer and I am trying to find the easiest way to transfer all my files over.
Thanks,

1) From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

2) If you do not have access to the iTunes Library on your Old computer... or its Backup...

iTunes never displays the iPod in the left pane?
iTunes is shipped with a "helper application" called the "iPod Service" that runs and is used by iTunes to communicate with the iPod device. This service may be disabled.
If your system is Microsoft Windows XP and you are logged in as an Administrator:
1. Quit iTunes and, if your iPod is currently connected to your computer, safely remove it using the system tray application to manage removable devices.
2. Right click on "My Computer"
3. Select "Manage"
4. In the "Computer Management" window, left pane (tree view), follow this path:
+Computer Management (local) > Services and Applications > Services+.
5. In the right pane, scroll down to "iPod Service" and double click it.
6. If the service is listed as "Disabled" and "Stopped," change to "Manual" and "Start" it. ("Manual" will cause it to start when iTunes starts and "Start" starts the service right now.)
7. Close "Computer Management"
8. Restart iTunes and wait for it to completely come up.
9. Reconnect your iPod.
Does your iPod show up in iTunes?

Try moving the existing backup file to a new location so iTunes has to create an entire new file. That file is located here. You may have to have show hidden file turned on. It location is given here:

However, at the current time I get this error message:

I have a ipad2, ipad3, and iPod touch that had location service working and now none of them can use location service. I have tried so many recommended tweaks but none have helped. So frustrating! Can anyone help ?

Sounds like it's hardware issue. The iPhone warranty is based in the original country of purchase. Since it was bought in Korea you will need to ship the phone to someone you know in Korea to be taken in and then they will have to ship it back to you. The cost of shipping will be at your expense.

I can´t remember the security code to unblock my iPod touch and when I try to synchronize it with iTunes I can´t because it ask me to introduce the code that I don´t remember. In my iPod says that it is desactivated and I need to connect to iTunes...

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

Is it possible to sync a new computer to my ipod touch. I want to transfer the music already on my ipod to another computer.

Transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
After you move everything, connect the iPod to the computer and right click on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
Restore the iPod from that backup.

3rd Gen Ipod touch. I want to start as new, not restore.

I have a 3rd gen Ipod Touch that I want to delete everything and start as new, but it keeps wanted to restore. The ipod touch was my sons, and I upgraded him to a 4. I have an older ipod and I was hoping to upgrade to the touch, but it won't let me start new. Please help. I have tried restoring, but it fails. Is there a way to completely wipe it out so I can use it ??
thanks.

"I have a 3rd gen Ipod Touch that I want to delete everything and start as new"
Yes. That is called a restore.

I have an iPod touch that is synced with my library. I just got a new Nano and I want to sync that with the same library but I can't figure out to do it with iTunes 11

I watched the new itunes tutorial, and if you double click on the blank part of the bar that says music, videos, apps, etc, a button will show with your ipod's name.

I am trying to update my iPod touch and I want to sync my music, but it keeps saying that if I update then it will erase my current media and sync with my new one which has no songs in it, please help

Follow these instructions. When you restore the iPod as the articles say the iPod will also be updated.

I bought a used ipod touch that had 2200 bad songs. Unfortunately I decided to try to delete them before I started buying music. It deleted EVERYTHING. Help!! I'm looking at a screen that says itunes and nothing else.

If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.

Greetings, I have an iPod Touch, that I recently tried to access the apps store. I can't enter my password, due to not being able to switch the keyboard to lower case letters. I tapped on the arrow up button, and it makes a click sound, but the letters do

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Content on my Ipod Touch that does not show up in my iTunes library.....???

I have a group of about 6 podcasts on my ipod touch that I am trying to delete b/c I've already listened to them and want to free up space. Problem is when I plug into iTunes my library does not list these podcasts as being on my ipod. I know they are on there because I can listen to them but for some reason they do not show up. All of my other podcasts show up, just not these. I'm running iTunes 9.0.3.15 if that makes a difference.
Seems like i've run into this problem before as well with an audiobook. Don't remember how I got rid of that.

No problem. Glad to have helped.
Not sure as to why it happened. I just know this has been happening to a few users lately. It may be with how you have your iPod touch configured to sync Podcasts. So you may want to double check these settings as well as mess around with them a bit to figure out if that is the cause. Otherwise, I'm not entirely sure on this one. Sorry I cannot be of much help here.
