IPod on new computer- Can't transfer music

IPod nano. Old computer hard drive was reformatted and I lost all my music. It's still on my IPod though.
1. How do I get the current contents of my IPod music back onto my computer from my IPod.I used to see it in I Tunes?
2. When I try to log into my I Tunes account, a flag comes up warning me that my music is associated with a different account. How do I access my account contents of music like all the stuff I purchased previously?
Thanks to anyone who can help.

  • IPod on new computer - can't transfer new songs to iPod

    Hi
    I've just got a new PC and have downloaded iTunes. When I connected my iPod it said it was already synced with another iTunes library (ie on my old computer).
    I managed to transfer all my purchased music from my iPod to iTunes on my new computer. But I've bought some new songs from the iTunes store and I now can't seem to transfer them to my iPod.
    Anybody know how I can fix this please?
    Kind regards

    For difficulties transferring iTunes purchases, see this.
    iPod does not play content purchased from the iTMS.

  • I just bought a new computer, can i transfer itunes from one computer to another computer with all my music

    i just bought a new computer, can i transfer itunes from my old computer to my new computer with my music in it or do i have to sync all my cds again

    Hi,
    A painless way to do it ...
    From your Old Computer... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
    Backup iTunes to an External Drive

    An Added Bonus is that you will then have a Backup of iTunes...

  • New computer, want to transfer music.

    I recently got a new computer, and my itunes music, movies, app,etc. were on the old one. We want to get rid of the old computer. Is there anyway i can transfer my music to the new computer, or do i have to repurchase it all again?

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    Have a read of this article:

    You can't use the iPod touch as it doesn't have a disk mode but you can use either recordable discs, an external hard drive or a network connection in place of the iPod transfer part.
    Do let us know how you get on.

  • New Computer - can't transfer library

    I have a new computer, the old one is out of action. Any advice I can see for synching my IPod with new computer requires access to the old on which isn't an option for me. Oddly, I can synch purchased music but not non purchased - does anyone have suggestions? Thanks, Scotlad

    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and it won't recover playlists also it was written for Windows XP so will probably require adapting for Vista. If you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

  • New computer, trying to transfer music from my ipod onto this computer...

    Hi there, I can't seem to figure this out. I used to have a Powerbook, but it was stolen when my house was broken into. I just bought a new computer, and I have all my music on my ipod. Is there any way I can transfer this music to my new MacBook? Please say there is, I can't bear the loss of all my music.

    i'm having the same problem. my old powerbook died, which was what i synced the ipod with. when i try to sync it on my new macbook, it says it can only be synched with one itunes account. i need to get a lecture off the ipod which is a .wav file. will ipoddisk work with that? also, is there anyway to switch the account to my macbook itunes so that i don't have to keep doing this? thanks a bunch!

  • New Computer Can't transfer purchased music

    I just got a new computer and successfully transferred my library using the consolidate library feature. However, now, when I purchase music, I can't put it on my iPod. I can only put the music that I transferred. How do I get my purchased music to my iPod?

    Hi Tyler,
    Have you authorized your new PC to play your purchased music? If you haven't just try to play any of your purchased tunes on your new computer and you'll be prompted for your iTunes store ID and password, you have to be connected to the Internet. Just remember to Deauthorize your old computer if you'll be selling it or giving it away to someone you would not want to listen to your purchased music, remember you can only authorize 5 computers. To deauthorize, go to your old computer, go to Advanced > Deauthorize computer...
    good luck!

  • Authorization not working on new computer; can't play music!

    I moved all of my music from my old computer to my new computer, and I did so using my iPod and the instructions that Apple provides on their website. All of the music shows up in iTunes on the new computer, but it won't play. I get a pop-up indicating that I need to authorize this computer to play whatever song I have selected, but even after it tells me "Authorization Successful, You have authorized two out of five computers," I cannot play the music. I have tried everything humanly possible to fix the problem, to no avail. Can anyone help? This is very frustrating.

    Suedarn,
    When you bought and downloaded the episodes, you got what you paid for. When you goto another computer you can't redownload them, you have to transfer the file from the old PC to the new one or make a backup of what you bought so when your PC crashes, you can reload the PC with a backup.
    If you only saved the "Programs" folder and not the "My Music" folder where iTunes puts all its bought songs at, then your most likly out of luck. You can try to email the Music storee to see if they will set up a "Re download" of your lost episodes and download them using "Check for purchases" under the advance menu in iTUnes. Just keep in mind there under no obligation to do so, it states on there site if you loose it you have to buy it again. I had a system failer and emailed them and LUCKLY they offered a re download option for me to get my songs back and I made a backup ASAP
    Heres a link to email the music store http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/musicstore/download/

  • New Ipod and new computer-how to transfer

    I just got the new ipod video and had the 20gb. I now have a new computer and new ipod. How do I transfer my songs to my new ipod and computer?
    any help would be appreciated.
    D

    If you transfer your library from the PC to the Mac, and then plug in your new ipod to the new Mac, a question will pop up asking you whether you want this computer's library to be transferred to the iPod. Click Yes, and it will start synching with whatever is in the library.
    You can also use some programs, like "Senuti" (for mac, freeware) to rip off the contents FROM your iPod TO your new Mac. I personally like Senuti since it has an iTunes-like interface except in reverse.

  • New computer -- can't find music on external drive - what am i doing wrong?

    I have searched previous posts and cannot seem to find an answer.
    Up until recently, I ran iTunes from my desktop, and housed the music on an external hard drive. Recently, I purchased a new laptop and transferred applications and files over from the desktop using Windows Easy Transfer.
    I thought that simply pointing my laptop to the iTunes Music Folder location on the external hard drive was all I needed to do (F:\iTunes\MyMusic) but I seem to be mistaken, as I am getting the “iTunes cannot find the original files” messages when I click to play songs.
    Have I missed something incredibly obvious here? I’ve been futzing around with this for a while now and tend to think I am missing the easy fix.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance you may be able to provide.

    Thank you for your response. The drives are in fact different letters -- I changed the drive name to correspond the original drive letter...but that doesn't seem to have fixed the problem.
    Where I seem to stand is:
    Old computer (with iTunes library) + external hard drive (with iTunes music) work just fine.
    New computer -- iTunes library copied from old computer, iTunes music folder identified in iTunes, but iTunes can't find the music.
    At this point, am I better off starting from scratch with the new computer (in terms of installing iTunes and moving my library over from my old computer)?
    And if so, what would be the best way to approach this?
    Thanks much.

  • New computer - can't transfer old itunes, problems importing cd's

    Sorry the subjec area has multiple topics, but i've got issues. Long story short: computer completely broke. Can't even view screen to try and restore anything or remove programs. Now have HP dv6000. Since I can't move old itunes acct over to new computer, I've resorted to importing all my cd's again. For some reason, some cd's don't even come up when i put them in the drive. No message, no warning - nothing. I insert the cd and it just spins and spins. Is this an itunes issue or a HP issue? Is it because some cd's don't allow you to copy to more than one computer?
    Any suggestions?

    You should probably post in the itunes forum, since it appears your question has little or nothing to do with ipods.
    Where is your back up? Did you not maintain a back up of your music/pics/docs/etc?
    You can copy a cd on as many computers as you like. Your problem is very likely not an itunes issue.

  • Moving to new computer, can Lightroom transfer?

    I am away from home and I am transferring to a new computer. I currently have lightrom on my laptop and want to put it on this new desktop. I know my copy of the software allows for installation on two computers. My problem is I don't have my DVD copy of Lightroom with me. It will be in storage for 6 months.
    Could I download the trial version of Lightroom through this website and call Adobe to activate it with the information I have on my Laptop copy (or the fact that I am a registered user?)
    Or am I stuck having to buy a new copy?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    You're in luck. Just download the app from the site, and you'll have 30 days to register it.
    I've not had to call Adobe.
    As to the transfer, you can do it lock, stock and barrel if your folder structure can be repeated on the new machine. If it can't, you might want to move images into the LR folder prior to migration.

  • New computer: can I transfer Lightroom?

    In November, I bought Lightroom for my laptop (Windows.) After my computer threatened to die on me one day, and also wanting to upgrade anyway, I now have an Apple Mac desktop computer. Am I able to transfer Lightroom onto the new computer? Can I exchange my program for the Mac version? What can I do?
    Thankyou, H

    There is no need for an exchange. The serial number that you have will work for either platform. There is no activation process for Lightroom as there is for Photoshop. So all you have to do is download the appropriate trial version, install it, and then use the serial number you have to activate it.
