I would like to hook my older iPod to my newer computer

I would like to hook my older iPod to my newer computer.
How?

Hi, Tim.  
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
I would need clarification on this question to provide a better answer.  However, you should just need to have the most current version of iTunes installed and connect the device via the included USB cable.

  • I'm retiring my old computer (windows xp) to a new computer (windows 7). How can i easily move my itunes music from the old computer to the new computer? i have my playlists organized in my old computer, i would like it to stay that way in my new computer

    i'm retiring my old computer (with windows xp) and bought a new computer (with windows 7). How can i easily move my itunes music from the old computer to the new computer? i have my playlists organized in my old computer, i would like it to stay that way in my new computer. I also have my ipods, iphone sync'd in the old computer so i want to make sure that things won't get messed up (my apps, playlists, etc) when i move over everything to the new computer and sync all my devices with the new computer.
    Thanks in advance for the tips.

    Make sure the XP box is upgraded to the latest version of itunes. Also make sure it's using the itunes media folder layout as explained here, because that's what the W7 is going to be using.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3847
    Install itunes on the new W7 PC.
    Get these folders from the XP machine
    C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
    C:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    And put them here on the W7 machine
    C:\users\username\My Music\iTunes
    C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

  • What is the name of the folders which are your backup of Itunes library? I am recovering from a virus, have no workable desktop in Win XP, but can search and find files and folders. I would like to move these backup files to a new computer

    what is the name of the folders which are the backup of Itunes library? I am recovering from a virus, have no workable desktop in Win XP, but can search and find files and folders. I would like to move these backup files to a new computer, authorize it and sync with Iphone 3Gs and Ipod 5th gen.

    I second the whole iTunes folder approach.
    If for some reason you have split the media folder from the library files then the media folder needs to restored to the same path it used to have while the library files can be copied into the music folder of your new profile.
    If in dobut, backup up the entire Documents and Settings folder before wiping the infected drive, but be selective about what you restore as many viruses drop active components capable of reinfecting the compuer in the temp folders and internet caches. It is much easier to backup more than you need than to discover after the fact that you no longer have access to some vital project you'd been storing in a folder on the desktop.

  • HT4972 i would like to replace my old ipod with this new 4th gen, for my entire library, how to?

    i just bought a  4th generation ipod touch, to replace my 1st generation ipod touch and would like to register it so i can have access
    to my entire library , can anybody tell me how to do this?

    Make one final sync of the old iPod to your computer. The first step of the sync is a backup.
    Then connect the iPod to the computer and restore it from the backup for the old iPod. You will have to reenter keychain items like passwords since they are only restored to the same device.
    To restore see:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software

  • How do i transfer all my ipod songs from my ipod to my new computer?

    how do i transfer all my ipod songs from my ipod to my new computer?
    i stil have my old computer. but i have 500 songs. so i dont want to burn them onto cds then upload them. is there a way to transfer the songs from the ipod to my new computer?

    Hey, I had the exact same issue. The way that Apple explains to do it is change your iPod into hardrive mode by messing with the preferences. While your iPod is hooked up to your old compuer, go into preferences and check the box saying enable disk use. Then your iPod will appear on the desktop and you can drag the song files into it. I don't know if you can transfer them all at once or not. Anyway, then you hook up the iPod into the new computer and drag the songs into iTunes. I had trouble doing this and it erased all my songs one time but I think it was an error on my part. Another way to do it is to send the song files through AIM. Have someone on the old computer and you on the new one and send them in large bunches to the new computer. Yet another way is to e-mail them to yourself and download them on to the new computer. The sure-fire way (and the way I finally succumbed to but it worked!) is to download the program iPodCopy on the new computer and follow the instructions to have your music quickly and easily copied. It does cost $17.00 dollars to download but I was willing to pay the price to have my music transferred hassle-free. Just type iPodCopy into google and it should come up. After months of trying and searching how to transfer my music to the new computer, this was my last resort and it was well worth it!
    I hope my suggestions help you out in your iPod escapades!
    Let me know if they work. Buenas Suerte.

  • Connecting ipod to a new computer

    My laptop just quit working on me and I really don't want to have to add all my songs into this new computer. If I just hooked up my iPod to this new computer will all my songs show up in my new iTunes Library?

  • Ipod help with new computer

    ok i just bought a new lap top when my old computer crapped out. so now i have an ipod with around 2000 songs on it but my old computer had itunes and all the songs there.
    so now when i hook up my ipod to my new computer to try and add more songs to the ipod it says that itunes is synching with my ipod? i have no clue what that means but i heard that it might erase all of my songs on my ipod. and since i dont have my old computer i wont be able to get all those songs back.
    so what i am asking is if there is a way to turn off synching? or should i just let it synch cause it wont hurt my ipod or the songs on it already?
    thanks

    Yes, you can choose to run your iPod in 'manual mode' setting when you are in iTunes.
    "To load songs onto iPod manually:
    Connect your iPod to your computer.
    When the iPod icon appears in the iTunes window (under Devices), select it.
    If the Summary pane is not showing, click the Summary tab.
    Select "Manually manage music." (If you have an iPod that displays video, the checkbox says "Manually manage music and video.")
    Click Music (below Library, on the left side of the iTunes window) and then drag songs and playlists to your iPod."

    According to:

    It has DVI ports.  This means you are best to use an adapter that supports DVI.  Note there is no audio that carries over DVI.  What you need is a mini-Displayport to DVI adapter, and the proper DVI cable. Since Dell doesn't have the specs, you'll need to tell us if you have pins or holes, and how many are grouped.
