I need to add my new ipod to itunes. it will only show the old dead ipod. i want to keep the music, but get rid of the info of the old dead ipod and add my new one and its info. please help.
Hello,
I need to add my new ipod to itunes.
itunes will only show the old, dead ipod that my niece had given me secondhand.
I just got a new one and want to put in it's serial number, etc. but keep the music.
Please help, I've been going around in circles online for hours. I don't want to merely change the name of the old ipod, which is the only info I can find.
Thanks.
"In addition, I would like to get all of the music files that are already on my ipod on to my new computer"
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod to iTunes.
Once the music from your iPod is in your new iTunes library, you can go about adding new music as you did previously.

New 3g nano... will only show apple...
I have an ipod classic that works fine. i just purchased an ipod 3g nano for my sister. we tried hooking it up to my mac to load songs on it, but all it will do is flash an apple on the screen (and it will only do that when it is plugged in to the computer). initially when i plugged it into the computer, it was recognized and we started registering it, but were not able to finish at the time. when we came back it said we needed to restart registering so i ejected it and plugged it back in, but it was not recognized. when the nano is not plugged in, it will not show anything at all. and when it is plugged in to the computer it will only flash the apple screen. I have tried resetting it, but that does nothing.... any other suggestions or do i just need to send it in for a replacement?
Did you try using apple's troubleshooting assistant to resolve your problem? Make sure you've updated your IPOD to latest SW version (4.1) B4 you do that. Since you say your IPOD works fine when powered off your computer, my thought is there may be something wrong w/your battery which may just need to be replaced. If running troubleshooting assistant doesn't solve your issue you may want to take to apple's genius bar & have them ID problem.

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.

After i Updated itunes al my ipod apps including safari and music, photos and all of them went away and i cannot do anything on it anymore please help?
- Try a reset. Nothing is lost:
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Can you find the apps using the Spotlight search on the iPod? Maybe you just can't find them
- If you can find them you can reset the screen layout by go to Settings>Genera.Reset>?Reset Screen Layout.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod. -

My mom put my ipod 5th gen in the house somewhere and it was turned off. It is connected to the internet in the house. How do i turn it on with the Findmyiphone or something else? It was an expensive gift and we can't find it now! Please help! How do i turn it on without finding it because she can't remember where it was.
That is so dumb...Apple is the best and most techinological company IN THE WORLD and they don't have the time to invent something like that? HUH? All they are worried about is making the "Worlds best Phone" and they can't take the time out to help their users or anybody that has their products. All they have is "Find mt Iphone" Well they should step up and do something else to help people like me out. Find a way to turn it on and you can find it or find a way to turn it on remotely.
Thank you for your replys -

Since the introduction of iCloud, I've had this problem with the Apple ID. I've tried to "manage my Apple ID" but clicking the box to "make Apple ID and primary email address one and the same" but it just won't work. I'd given up and just ignored everything iCloud... I've ignored iCloud on my iPad mini and my iPhone 5 and now I'm going to get an iPhone 5s. I'm sure this will be an issue again. FYI, my Apple ID is in the format "a_xyz" only and it's working for purchases and upgrading of iOS, etc just not with iCloud. Any suggestions other than to create a new iCloud account with a different name? Thanks!
I don't have any suggestions that will help you resolve this issue other than to try posting here where there should be more iCloud experts.
https://discussions.apple.com/community/icloud/icloud_on_my_ios_device
Or contact Apple and ask for their help with this. Try here. I think Account and Setup would be the starting point.

Whenever I try to sync music to my ipod from itunes, it will go through all the steps up until it actually downloads the music, then it starts, and doesnt move. Why wont it download anything?
Try here:
iTunes: Error 13019 during sync
Not updating the iOS should not effect your problem.
As long as all the apps are in the iTunes library, you will not lose app data by updating the iOS. -
How do I get the ipod nano 7th generation to only show the album artwork? the volume control, info bar and album artwork shows whenever a song is playing.
Hi TheGuru146,
It sounds like the iPod isn't restoring correctly. Try putting the it into Disk Mode manually and then restoring the iPod again as described in the article linked below.
Putting iPod into Disk Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363
iPod nano (7th generation)
Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it has a charge.
Reset the device by pressing the Sleep and Home buttons simultaneously until the display shows the Apple logo. This should take about eight seconds.
When the Apple logo appears, press and hold the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk Mode.
