You will have to sync it to the new one, erasing the current content from the ipod and replacing it with the content from the new drive.
Make sure you have copied everything from your backup copy of your computer back to the new drive first.

i deleted some songs from my iphone 4. now when i try to re-add them to my phones itunes, they wont add. whats wrong? new songs add. but not the old ones! help please
Hey renie1515,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
When you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. This article describes how to manage these associations.
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days.
Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90-day timer. You must wait 90 days from the day the device was first associated with your Apple ID before it can be associated with another Apple ID.
Have a nice day,

My old computer is spoilt. so i bought a new one. now when i try to sync my iPodtouch with my new computer it says "do u wanna erase" the things on my iPod. i clicked NO. but i really wanna update my iPod to io5 but i can't as i dont want to lose my stuff
Before you restore the iPod from the backup that Dave had you make yu have to transfer stuff from the iPod to the computer since the backup does not contain the apps themselfes, music, synced phots and some other stuff. To see what a backup contains see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
To transfer iTunes purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- For other stuff you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support CommunitiesA lot of thos are paid, especiall for more than a limited number of items. It is harder to find one that does synced photos. -
Until the most recent update when the url that I wanted in the autocomplete location bar was selected, it "went" with no further clicking. Now I have to click the refresh arrow. It won't even work with the return. How can I make it work the old easier way?
cor-el, thank you so much. That fixed it, but does this mean I can't use AVG Safe Search.Is there a substitute? I do like the security (hopefully real) that it offers. What now? How do I get out of Safe Mode?

I have 2 Pages icons. How can I get rid of the old one?*
I can't gey it out of launchpad. It won't go in the trash. It's confusing to have 2 icons.
Hi rointhestudy,
I understand you have duplicate icons of the Pages application in Launchpad. Here is some more information:
OS X Lion: About duplicate icons in Launchpad
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4836
Launchpad will display an icon for each copy of an application that is currently installed (as well as any aliases to those applications), so you will see more than one icon for an application if you have more than one version of the application installed or aliased.
It sounds like we want to remove the duplicate from your computer:
OS X Mountain Lion: Install, update, and uninstall apps
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11356
To uninstall apps you purchased from the Mac App Store, hold down an app’s icon in Launchpad until all the icons begin to jiggle. Click an app’s delete button (x) to uninstall the app.
If an icon doesn’t have a delete button, that app can’t be uninstalled. For example, apps that come with OS X can’t be uninstalled.
Thanks,

just as the quesstion
Hi - yes I can! I hadn't noticed that little arrow before, thanks.
However I would really like to stop it hiding the first tab all the time.... Even when I navigate to the first tab using that "list all tabs" arrow, it still remains 'hidden' (i.e. I can't see a tab up the top, even when that tab is active. And when I navigate away from it to another tab, it is invisible again).
Any ideas?

MY hard drive crashed and I had to replace it. Now when I try to sync my iPod with iTunes it says that I have to replace the old library (that is lost forever) with the new library to sync. I do not want to lose all the songs on my iPod! What can I do?
Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your 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.

i lost my iPhone. i got a new one, how can i back up all the contacts i had in the old one (iPhone 4S). When i go to Itunes it start as a new iphone.
Contacts are not a part of back up.
Contacts are sync with a compatible programme on your computer depending on your operating system (Windows or Mac). For example, Microsoft Outlook (for both Windows and Mac), Windows Contacts (for Windows) and Addressbook (for Mac).
Or contacts are also backed up in iCloud (depending if you chose to do so).
So, sync back the contacts from any of these programmes. If you have not made a backup of your contacts in any of these progammes, then they are gone.

Hello there,
After the 6.1.3 download, my iphone 4s has no itunes and a new hard-of-hearing blue screen SIRI after the 6.1.3 download. Where did the itunes app go? How do i get it back? And how can i switch back to the old gray SIRI?
Thanks,
lost and confusedHello there, tonjay82.
There are some great sources of information in the following article that might help you in resolving the issue at hand:
iOS: Understanding Restrictions
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4213
Particularly of note is the following:
You can enable and adjust Restrictions, or Parental Controls, on your device to prevent access to specific features or content on the device. Locate these settings by tapping Settings > General > Restrictions.
and
Additional Information
If your iOS device is missing a particular application or if a certain feature is not available, ensure that Restrictions are not enabled. Symptoms can include:
App missing from the Home screen (Safari, Camera, or YouTube for example)
Feature or service unavailable (Siri, Location Services, and so on)
Setting missing or grayed out (such as Mail, Contacts, and Calendar; iCloud; Twitter; FaceTime)
Important: Restrictions can also be enabled or enforced using a profile (typically installed when using the device for business or education purposes). You can check for installed profiles in Settings > General > Profiles.
Thank you for reaching out to us at Apple Communities on this issue.

I have Windows xp on my oldercomputer and Windows7 on my new laptop. I synchedmy iphone4 to the old one . When I tried to synch to the new one, everything got screwed up and it had to be restored at the Apple store. . Can I synch it to the old one to get bac kmy stuff and then to the new latptop so I can back it up?
Not sure if this applies to your region, but in Australia the SIM password is often written on the "credit card" sized plastic card that the SIM was provided to you with the phone by the telco. Do you still have this? It could be in the iPhone box?

I had downloaded OS X Mountain Lion and had to replace my hard drive. Now when I try to download it only wants to upgrade since I show that I previously purchased it. What can I do to get the operating system back
I'm unclear on what the problem is. Have you installed a system on the new hard drive, and if so, what system? Had you actually installed Mountain Lion previously, or only downloaded it? And what does "it only wants to upgrade" mean? Have you actually got Mountain Lion already installed? (See About This Mac in the Apple menu.)
All Macs that shipped with Lion or newer are capable of internet recovery in situations like this. Just hold down command-R and it should start in recovery mode over the internet if necessary. You can reinstall the system from there. If you had Mountain Lion, I would assume that Mountain Lion would be the system you would get reinstalling that way. -
my ipad2 is asking old id password, when i go to forget password link for that id then I am not getting any mail to reset the same. Please help how can i remove or change the old id.
You cannot remove or change the old ID. This is Find My iPhone Activation Lock. You need to recover the credentials for the Apple ID originally used to activate the iPad.
