I just got a new computer.  When I connect my IPod to ITunes, it says I need to transfer my files to I Tunes from my IPod.  How do I do this?

I just got a new computer with Windows 7.  I installed ITunes, and when I connect my IPod Touch 3rd generation, it says I need to transfer my files to ITunes before I sent or all data will be erased from my IPod.  Unfortunately, it doesn't tell me how.  Please help.

This will transfere iTunes purchases:

The info in this previous discussion tells how to transfer other stuff
Best iPod to PC
After you get the stuff in your iTunes' library let iTunes erase your iPod and replace it contents with what is now in your iTunes' library.

  • Just got a new computer....

    I just got a new computer and I am trying to install itunes on it. I have got the program on the computer without any problems. Now I am trying to add my iTunes library. I have it on an external hard drive so I was hoping this would be easy.
    However, when I hold the shift key and start iTunes, it asks me to pick a library file. When I direct it to my library file on my external hard drive, I get the error message: "The iTunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission for this file".
    I don't have any problems accessing anything else on my hard drive so I don't think that is the problem. Any suggestions?

    Change your Vista permissions to have FULL control of the exHD top-level folder

    If you do not have access to your old PC/Laptop and therefore cannot transfer your iTunes library, this document is very useful https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

    I just got a new computer with Vista on it. When I hook my WRT54G router to it, I am unable to send e-mails. They get stuck in my OUTBOX and I get a timeout error. I can receive e-mails but cannot send them. Also, my internet can drag at times when the router is connected. When I remove the router, everything works fine.
    I've contacted Tech support several times and every suggestion they give doesn't solve the problem. I've updated firmware, changed all sorts of settings in the router setup page, including adjusting my Port Range Forward settings (at the instruction of tech support)
    I'm wondering if it's just a Vista thing and I should buy a newer router. I don't know what else to do.
    Any suggestions?
    Patrick

    Well if you can send emails, when you connect computer to modem directly, then it might be ports forwarding issue. Update firmware of router to latest version and assign a static ip on computer like 192.168.1.11, and obtain ports used by outgoing mail server, and forward those ports to static IP assigned, on router's setup.

  • I just got a new computer and I want to transfer all the music from my ipod classic onto my computer.

    I just got a new computer and want my entire library on my ipod classic to be transferred to my computer.  I transferred as many files as I could from my old computer through my external hard drive, but many of my cds didn't transfer.  When I hook up my ipod, I see it's entire contents.  My question is, does a sync only work from the computer to the ipod, or if I sync my ipod will the songs on it be synced to my computer along with all the playlists?  My biggest worry is if I sync it, it will go back to the factory settings or I lose all my music.  I appreciate any help.

    Yes...
    For iTunes purchases...
    Launch iTunes on the new computer. From the iTunes menu bar click Store > Authorize This Computer
    Now from the menu bar click File > Transfer Purchases from...

  • Just got a new computer, and I want my songs off my iPod and onto my iTunes

    So, I just got my new computer, and I have about 400 songs on my new iTunes. However, on my iPod, I have around 3,000. Some of the songs, however, I no longer have the cds for. I really don't feel like buying or tracking down ALL of those songs again. Is there a way I can get the songs off my iPod and onto my new iTunes? And no, I'm not trying to give all these songs to my friends or anything, I'm just trying to keep them all! If I could get an answer soon, that would be great!!!!
    Thanks!

    Connect your iPod to your new computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod.
    The transfer of content sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • I just got a new computer. I have downloaded iTunes and authorized it. It shows my apps and music but says something about "downloading all". Do I have to download everything on to this new computer or is it already in there? I need to sync my iPad too.

    I just got a new computer. I have downloaded ITunes and authorized it. It shows my apps and music, but says something about "downloading all". Do I have to download everythingon to this new computer or is it already in there? I also have an iPad that I need to sync. Is there anything special I need to do with the new computer before syncing the iPad? 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    Issy2090

    Your past purchases are not on the computer.   By choosing download all, those purchases will download to the computer. 
    Once authorized to your iTunes account you can control the computer.
    When syncing the iPad the first time you will get the warning " this iPad is synced with another computer, syncing will erase all contents and replace with the contents of this computer"
    Say yes, this is what you wan to do. 

  • TS1424 Just got a new computer with Windows 8. Can't get Itunes to download. Checked with clerk at Sam's Club who said that was her experience as well.

    Just got a new computer with Windows 8. Can't get Itunes to install. Checked with a clerk at Sam's Club who said it wouldn't install for her either.
    What do I need to do. Sent an email to Apple; but just got a computer generated response with no helpful advice.

    Do you get an error message when you try to install iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

  • Just got a new computer running windoews vista home premium.

    Just got a new computer running windows vista home premium. I downloaded itunes with no problems, ran it, no problems. Then turned off my internet connection and computer. Next time I turned on my computer, I could not connect to the internet. There is no problem with the ISP or the computer (all have been checked). If I uninstall itunes, everything is back to normal, internet connection is fine. I have tried a few times to install itunes (which is easy to do), but my computer will not let me access the internet while itunes is installed on the computer. Any ideas as to why this happens and what I can do about it? Many thanks for any help anyone can give.

    Look into the Security control panel for the firewall settings and the list of applications allowed to access the Internet. I think you can tap the Windows key and type "firewall" to be shown the panel immediately.
    I just got a new computer with Vista Home Premium too. The first time I ran iTunes, Windows brought up a Windows Firewall warning asking me if I wanted to allow iTunes through. People tend to blow by these popups but they're very important. Often Windows will not ask again, and you have to go digging to get to the option later. Reinstalling the app won't necessarily help because Windows would think that the app you already blocked is just trying to get through again, so it blocks it again.
    When I view the list of permitted apps for the Windows Firewall, I see many entries with "iTunes" in the name, each probably governing a separate network feature (sharing, purchasing, artwork, track lookup).

  • I just got a new computer. I have PS CC on my old pc and my laptop. How do I change my ps to my new computer??

    Help Please... I just got a new computer. I have PS CC on my old pc and my laptop. How do I change my ps to my new computer??

    You can install and activate CC apps on 2 computers.
    You can continue using CC apps on both computers .
    However ,
    If you no longer wish to use CC apps on old computer , it is better to deactivate  subscription by signing out from Creative Cloud on old computer

  • HT204053 We just got a new computer and one of us may lose our Itune account.  Help!

    Both my husband and I have had separate ITunes accounts on our computer that we download and purchase our own music into.  Now we also each have IPhones and separate apple IDs for downloading and purchasing music.  We just got a new computer which only allows one Apple ID.  What do we do?  Will one of us have to give up our account and lose our music library?

  • I have been purchasing songs on itunes for a year. I just got a new computer and I synched my iphone to it. I had over 100 songs, now I have only 10. Where did my music go and how can I get it back?

    I have been purchasing songs from itunes for the past year. I have over 100 songs. I recently got a new computer and I synched the iphone to it. I can't find 90% of my music. Where is it and how can I get it back? I checked itunes under purchased and it only shows 13 songs. Please help.

    You can only sync with one computer. When you synced to the new computer it would have erased it and synced what was on the new computer.
    You always need to have a backup, an iPhone is not a storage device.
    When you get a new computer you need to transfer your library before syncing
    If you don't have a backup you may be out of luck
    The only thing would be if you're in the US and have access to the iCloud beta to reload purchases
