Just replaced my old iPod, how do i sync it?

Ive had an iPod mini for the last 3 years, it is synced with iTunes on my laptop. Now I've just bought a new iPod Nano, and I don't know how to sync it. If I just plug it into my lap top will it wipe all my music off?? Help!

No it won't, it will load up whatever you have in your iTunes. You just need to connect your new iPod to your computer. If the songs you had on your previous iPod are still in iTunes they will load onto your new one. Follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like.

I am planning on buying an Ipod classic to replace my old ipod nano, i am wondering if when i buy it can i plug it straight into my itunes and will everything be transferred from my nano, or will it delete everything? songs etc...

I am planning on purchasing an ipod classic to replace my old ipod nano. I am just wondering if i am able to plug it in to my itunes, and everthing will be transferred onto the classic simply? Or will it automatically delete all my songs as it will not recognise the classic? Also, will it inform me what to do when i plug the classic in, to set it up?

If you want to have the photos stored on an external HD, you probably should move them there in your operating system before you import into Lightroom.
But, if you don't yet own an external HD, you can import from the internal hard drive and later move the photos to wherever you want them to be, as long as you do it properly.

Hey i just pulled my old ipod nano out of my attic and it doesnt seem to turn on i charged it for two days but nothing happened

hey i just pulled my old ipod out of my attic and it doesnt seem to turn on i charged it for two days but nothing happened does anyone know the problem?

Given that it probably hasn't been used in years, it's likely that the battery is shot and in need of replacement. However, the damage may be more than that, since it won't even power on, so it's hard to say for sure.

I just found my old ipod touch (i think 1st generation) and would like to let my toddler use it instead of my phone. I am trying to download apps but it say I need to update to 4.3 but it won't let me update. I have the most recent itunes. any idea why?

I saw a thread saying to purchase the newest software (that was posted a few years ago) I paid 4.95 for the software and it's still saying it can't be updated. Am I just SOL??

The 1G iPod can only go as high as 3.1.3. The 1G does not have an internal speaker or volume buttons on the upper left edge.

To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.

I am contemplating replacing my old Ipod with a 8gb touch which supposedly holds up to 1760 songs. In my ITunes library the average size of a 12 song album is 300mb which means I can get 27 albums x 12 songs is 324 songs. Where am I going wrong here?

There is about 6.9 GBs of free space on an 8 GB Touch for data storage. That translates to roughly 23 of your average albums.
Holds up to 1760 songs is based on the size of an average track which is about 3 to 4 MBs, whereas your albums have tracks averaging more like 25 MBs per track. I sort of doubt your average album holds what would be about 5 hours.

Replace an old ipod on itunes with a new ipod

I want to buy a new ipod. But I already have hooked up 5 different ipods to my computer which I thought was the limit. Is there a way for me to replace my old ipod with a new one?

The 5 limit you are referring to is a limit of 5 authorized computers to play purchases. You can use as many iPods as you want.

Is there any shop in texas ,austin where we can replace an old ipod touch 3G and get a new ipod touch 4G ??

pls help mee

Sorry but I am pretty sure there isn't a shop which offers such a service.
Apple stores offer a 14 day remorse period where you can return a purchase for a full refund without having to give a reason however this has probably expired - unless you bought from a different store with a similar system which you still happen to be within the time limit for.
Your best bet would be to sell your iPod 3G and put the money towards a new one. If you are having trouble selling it an Apple store will take it and give you 10% off a new iPod.

My brother gave me his old ipod, how can I upload my someg form my shuffle?

my brother gave me his old ipod, how can I upload my some form my shuffle

You want to first connect your shuffle to your computer and transfer all of your downloads from there to your iTunes.
Then you want to connect your new one to the computer. Click on the device when it pops up in your iTunes, and select the music tab.
Then you can sync all of the music you want!

New computer/old ipod - how do I update my libray from my ipod?

new computer/old ipod - how do I update my libray from my ipod? the music wasn't transfered from cd's, shared music files...no purchased from the ipod store.

The ipod is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything on your new computer.

My old iPod touch won't sync my photo videos from my iPhone 5

I recorded videos on my iphone 5 and want to put them on my old ipod touch. When I use itunes to save the videos and then sync it to my old ipod touch it just says could not be synced see itunes for more information on my ipod. PS the ipod touch is the old one without a camera.

See:
iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
The phone takes HD videos but your old iPod can only play/sync SD video.
If the Create New version disscussed in the above links does not work you will need a third-party converter like the free Handbrake.

Sounds like you don't meet the system requirement for either the iPhone or iPad and/or have not updated your iTunes.

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
The restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up

Replacement iPod - how do I sync purchased music?

So my iPod was stolen and I just purchased a replacement. During the sync process it warns me about the 65 or so purchased items I have and says it cannot load them to my new iPod.
How do I authorize my new iPod to accept these songs? Is it possible?
Also - does anyone know of a way to flag my old iPod via Serial Number as stolen?
Thanks

Nevermind! I figured out what I was doing wrong.
