Last ipod died and need to synch that ipod library into new one....

My ipod just died (after only a year and 2 months) and I am getting a new one. I am wondering if there is a memory card in ipods that easily syncs to a new ipod?? The computer in which I had all my songs stored recently crashed so the only itunes memory I have is in the, now dead, ipod. Is syncing the old ipod library to the new one something they can do at the apple store when you get a new ipod? any feedback would be appreciated...

"well, I know that if you have your ipod show up in my computer, you can change the folder options to show hidden files, and then there is a folder called music that shows up. However, those files do not show up with the artist, album or song information. But I'm pretty sure you can still just drag that music folder to your desktop then run it through some sort of freeware to restore the info."
You don't need software, just drag the music folder into iTunes as explained here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.

The on/off button on my 6th gen iPod nano recently got spoilt and I sent it back to the shop for a repair/exchange a week ago. Now I have just found out about the new 7th gen iPod nano and I am wondering, can I get the new one as a replacement?

No. You can turn your 6G Nano in to be recycled at your local Apple Store for a 10% discount towards the purchase of a new one. Otherwise, your only other option would be to sell the iPod on Craigslist or eBay and use the proceeds from the sale towards the purchase of the new 7G nano.

I have lost my serial number and need to find it, or get a new one.

PS CS3 was installed and used successfully, until my teenager crashed my computer. I still have all of the icons in place, but I am not able to activate them. The box is long gone, along with the serial number How can I work through to find the serial number, or what technical instructions would helpful to solving this inherited issue. Many thanks for input!!!!!

Go to Adobe.com sign in withe your Adobe User ID and the use this link Adobe ID . That should retrieve a list of your Adobe products. When the list is displayed click on your CS3 product to retrieve your serial number.

Yes.
What you need to do is Transfer the iTunes Library from your Old computer to your New computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

I got a new laptop (Macbook Pro) and my IPhone is synced with my previous laptop. I've recorded dozens of very long (un-emailable) Voice Memos over the last few weeks and need to get them from my IPhone onto my new laptop. How do I do this?

I got a new laptop (Macbook Pro) and my IPhone is synced with my previous laptop (which I no longer have). I've recorded dozens of very long (un-emailable) Voice Memos over the last few weeks and need to get them from my IPhone onto my new laptop.
How do I do this?
(when I click on the Sync option I get the warning: "Are you sure you want to sync music? All existing songs and playlists on the iPhone will be replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library." I fear that if I click this I will lose all of my important Voice Memos as well)

Just to add to what ChrisJ4203 said. You can sync them to your new computer using iTunes by selecting to Include Voice Memos on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing. However, you still need to re-establish syncing with the new computer without iTunes erasing all the iTunes media from your phone (as the warning mentioned).
If you copy your entire iTunes folder (not just your music) from your old computer to your new one, along with other non-iTunes media you may be syncing with iTunes (such as contacts, calendars and any photos synced to your phone from your old computer) by using migration assistant of following one of these methods: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527, then when you sync again with your new computer it will recognize your phone and sync as it did before. You will still have to authorize the new computer for any Apple IDs used to purchase from the iTunes and App stores (in iTunes>Store>Authorize this computer).
After that you can sync your voice memos to your computer as mentioned earlier.
If you want to archive your voice memos before you do anything with iTunes, you can use a 3rd party program such as PhoneView or Touch Copy.

My ipod died and now there is only an apple on the screen

After my ipod died and wouldn't recharge all that's on my screen is an apple

Try here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
If you can't turn the iPod off, let the battery fully drain. After chargihg for at least an hour try again.

No sound. Mute is not checked, volume all the way up on iTunes and on status bar. What am I doing wrong or missing? I restarted last night and it worked before that but not since, any one have any ideas?

Thanks, Rob

First off did you go to System Preferences > Sound > Output > And is the correct output selected?
Any red light coming out of the headphone jack? If so, you'll need to re-set the little switch in there by inserting a 3.5mm jack carefully in & out 20 odd times. Or grab a toothpick (non-conductive) and a flashlight.
Tried anything else that produces a sound? On restart do you get the chime? Perhaps check into Audio Midi Setup to ensure your output is selected correctly using the cog at the bottom left.

Have ipod classic and after performing synch have lost almost 800 songs - how do i find the missing music please

have ipod classic and after performing synch on this occasion have lost almost 800 songs and they do not appear in my library either.

If the music has disappeared from your iPod and is not in your iTunes library, I'm afraid you are out of luck. If the lost music was imported from CD's are from outside the iTunes store, you'll need to reimport each of those tracks.
Otherwise, if the music was purchased from the iTunes store and you are using iTunes 10.3 or later and living in the US, you can redownload it again at no cost. See this article for more details.

Hi robertealex!
I have a couple of articles that can help you accomplish this goal. If you still have the old computer, you should use this article to get the full library from your old computer to your new computer:

I had an iPod touch, but it was stolen or lost. Now that I have a new one with a new Apple ID, is there someway I can access and download all my old photos and data from my old Apple ID to my new device? I still remember my old Apple ID and password.

Restopre from backup
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Also,
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

When I send a text message I do not get any confirmathat it has been delivered. Is there a way of getting an automated confiramtion of deleivery as I'm used to having this on a previous phone, and need to know that my texts have been delivered.

When I send a text message I do not get any confirmation that it has been delivered. Is there any way of getting an automated message confirmation delivery and time? I was used to this with my old phone and need to know that my text message has been delivered to the recipient's phone, and when.

Thanks. So there's no means of knowing whether a text message has been delivered, not to mention time of delivery. Perhaps I've gone for the wrong phone. It might do a lot but seems to miss out on some basics.

I recently got a new laptop, it has no music on it and I have been plugging my iPod in and listening to music that way. Tonight it decided to sync with my iTunes and deleted all of my music. Is there any way I can get my music back?
