Ipod stolen - how do I get itunes to restore to newly purchased one?

My wife's ipod mini 6gb was stolen this week & since she never used more than 2gb and I am broke at the moment, I got her a 4gb to replace it. How do I restore the music? Do I go into her itunes and export all playlists, then plug in the new one and create a new itunes profile and import them again? Is there any application out there that will automate this process?

You shouldn't need to do anything other than plug in the new iPod. iTunes will recognize the new iPod (and I believe offer to sync to it) and then will copy all the tracks to the new iPod.

  • Ipod STOLEN, how do I get the serial number?!

    Go to this page: iPod Documentation and choose Option One "Upload the serial number of my last connected iPod". This will read iTunes and display the serial number of the last connected iPod.

  • How do i get itunes to download ONLY my purchased music, not movies or tv shows or anything else on my windows machine?

    Today, I had to retire my Macbook 17" Pro because it would not do wireless internet anymore.  It is now an expensive dust-gatherer in my storage closet.  I had all my music and movies and tv shows on there, but I wasn't all that worried, the movies and tv shows I'll probably never watch again, but the music was another matter - music that I purchased via iTunes.
    "Not to worry," I thought,"It's all in the cloud."
    And so it was.  But the problem is that iTunes on my Windows 7 desktop insists on downloading all my 150GB of movies and tv shows that I don't want on there.  I want ONLY the music that I purchased.  Yes, the Windows 7 desktop is authorized, just to get that little matter out of the way.  But I can see nowhere in Edit -> Preferences where I can actually set it NOT to download movies or tv shows, but to allow music to download.  Are there any workarounds for this?
    I'd love to just be able to go back to my Macbook Pro, but I have to wait until I hear word from Cupertino that they have not only acknowledged the general problem with Macbook Pro's wireless, but actually have a fix for it.  Sorry, if I sound abrasive, but when something is supposed to "just work" and it doesn't, it does get a bit disconcerting.
    Thanks to all for reading this!  :-)

    I see there's no answer.
    This issue has ****** me off for a long time, and I am fed the **** up with it.
    I DO NOT WANT TO DOWNLOAD the Movies and TV shows to every *^&%^$%# Apple device, ONLY the MUSIC!!!
    COme on Apple!!!  FIx this!!!

  • If you gotten your ipod, ipad, etc. stolen how can you get it back?

    If you gotten your ipod stolen how can you get it back?

    - I you had turn on the FindMyiPod feature than you can go to icloud.com, log in and go to FindMyiPhone you may be able to locate it if wifi is on. However, that can be disabled by turning it off or restoring the iPod
    - Otherwise, just the old fashiponed way. Apple will not help
    Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod. Report it to the police.

    The easiest way to find your serial number is this Open Itunes...click help... run diagnostics.....(tick or untick as necessary) so that you just have ticked the last two,  device connectivity and device sync.  run these tests. it will say no ipod/ipad found but will give results of test....scroll down to bottom of results... here you will find the serial number of your last attached devices.

  • I just updated my iTunes, and I need to delete photos from my iPod 4, and there is a Photo Library that synced to my iPod when i plugged it into my computer, and now it doesnt have the option to delete them off my iPod. How do I get rid of these photos?

    I just updated my iTunes, and I need to delete photos from my iPod 4, and there is a Photo Library that synced to my iPod when i plugged it into my computer, and now it doesnt have the option to delete them off my iPod. How do I get rid of these photos? I have read other questions that say to plug the iPod into the computer and like un-sync it, but I downloaded the new iTunes and it doesnt have a photos tab. Does anyone know how to solve my problem? Please and Thank You, Megan!

    Just what did you do to the computer?
    It sounds like the iPodf is seening the iTunes libary as a new libary.

  • I'm getting a new iPod touch 4G to replace my old 1st gen. pod.  How do I get iTunes to get rid of my old iPod and recognize the new iPod and can I sych the new pod and get all of the content on it from my old pod?

    Hi-
    Oops. looks like I hasked the whole question in the headline, but... How does this work?  When I connect my new pod to iTunes how do I get iTunes to recognize the new pod, disregard the old pod and transfer my content to my new pod?  Also, I have a G5 that runs 10.4.11 OS.  Will the new pod synch to this computer running this old software yet.  Apparently, I have to "climb the mountain" to find a copy of Leopard for G5 and I apparently cannot run Snow Leopard.  What are the needs or restrictions for synching a 4th Gen iPod touch?
    Thanks-
    DMitz

    The 4G iPod needs at least OSX 10.5.8 on a Mac. You are right that the G5 can't use OSX 10.6 or later. Apple will sell you a 10.5.8 disk but you have to call them since it is not listed in their on-line store.  Price is $129.
    For 4G specs:
    System requirements
    USB 2.0
    iTunes 10.1 or later6
    Mac: Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional (SP3) or later
    Broadband Internet access required; fees may apply.

  • I have an old Ipod 5th gen that I have been using for downloading music from my library.  Upon purchasing an Ipod touch and registering it in Itunes, I can no longer sync tunes to my old ipod.  How can I get that option back on my old ipod?

    - For other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
