Loading ITUNES on laptop

My desktop is where I initially installed ITUNES. That computer is now in storage as I'm military and in the middle of PCS. I've loaded the newest version of ITUNES on my laptop and my songs there were imported. I'd like to connect my ipod to the laptop, but I'm afraid all the songs on the ipod will be erased when I sync. All songs are legally obtained. Any ideas on this process?

If all the music on your iPod is currently contained on the Laptop, then you will not have a problem with syncing the iPod to the Laptop.
If there is music on the iPod that is not on the Laptop, then see this post for various options:

  • Loading itunes on laptop Windows 7

    I am trying to authorise my laptop for itunes, say already loaded on 5 PC, i have no clue which the other 4 desktop itunes loaded on, how can i get over this issue?

    Try this,
    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    In the DOS screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.

    See the futher information area of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for download advice and direct links if required.
    See this migrate iTunes library post for advice on moving the library over from a previous computer and this post on deduplication.

    I loaded iTunes on a new laptop. I copied and pasted my albums to a 4G stick and down loaded them to the new laptop. Placing them in, Libraries – Music – iTunes and than in Itunes used File – add file to library. So far so good. For what ever reason one of the CDs would not load onto the stick. I got the orginal CD and loaded directly to Itunes. Now when I look in  Libraries – Music – iTunes it’s not there but it is in and plays in iTunes. What should I have done or should I be doing? Thanks.

    It's not a unique situation - happens all the time, smaller hard drives getting filled up.
    It's also easy to fix. I just moved my itunes content to a bigger hard drive.
    First I made a backup of the itunes database file - iTunes Library.itl. Just in case anything went wrong.
    Nothing did go wrong, but I'd have it in case anything DID go wrong. That file holds ratings, playcounts, Date Added, and other metadata.
    Second, in itunes change the preferences > advanced tab to tell itunes to put everything on G:
    Set the itunes folder location to something like G:Media or G:iTunes
    This will affect all FUTURE additions to itunes and not do anything to the existing locations.
    Make sure the checkbox for "Keep itunes organized" is NOT checked. I also left the "Copy files when adding" unchecked.
    Third, to move all the files to G: without itunes losing the paths, run the File > Library > Organize > Consolidate command. This will need to run a while, so be patient as it copies all the files to the new G: location. This does NOT delete the originals. You will have to do that.
    Fourth, make sure everything in itunes is OK and you can play stuff in your library. If you're really cautious you can run a script to check for missing/dead tracks.

    I authorized the computer but it still does not have any of my music showing.  It has my remaining balance showing to use but none of the songs I had purchased are showing.

    iTunes and Apple's devices work as an ecosystem. iTunes is designed to sync with Apple's products, not anyone else's. You'll need your songs in a format compatable with the Samsung phone and to use the software transfer program supplied/recommended. It is essentially not an Apple/iTunes problem. You may have better luck finding the information you need on Samsung's forums.

  • Loading itunes crashes my laptop

    I have a ipod 3rd gen, worked fine, until a couple of weeks ago when i tried to open itunes, my laptop screen turned black and had blue stripes across it, my computer then crashes. I have un-installed itunes and reinstalled it a couple of times but the same happens. Please help as i need my music on the go! :o(

    Hi I have a similiar problem.
    Everything was fine ( and has been for weeks) and then as of the weekend Itunes crashes my computer. It either freezes it completely requiring a hard switch on, or re-boots it. Always after 4 songs. I have uninstalled itunes and completely re-installed it but it make no difference. I have checked with my antivirus and I have no viruses. I am completely lost.
    Any ideas?

  • Apple TV Purchases won't sync to itunes on laptop

    Purchased movie on Apple TV and it won't sync to itunes on Laptop.
    Library is setup - done
    Please help

    We are struggling with the same issue. Just to be clear - this is only happening with movies which has me thinking it's a size/timeout issue. It syncs podcasts and music purchased from iTunes to ATV so I know the sync process is working. Then it says "Syncing Ferris Bueller's Day Off" (that's the movie we purchased) and it stops only after a few seconds of attempting. We have moved the ATV back to our office and connected it directly into our time capsule network source to see if load was issue with the wireless but this did not improve the situation at all. (as stated in your post - our movie is greyed out as well) I'm thinking we will end up having to delete and re-purchase (which is terrible but at least it's only one movie) on our actual computer and just never do a purchase via ATV again.
    If anyone has any suggestions before we do of other things we could try - please let us know.

  • Loading iTunes on new PC with Vista disables CD/DVD-RW Drive

    When I have loaded iTunes on my new Toshiba Laptop A205 with a Pioneer DVD-R/W drive running Vista Home Premium, the DVD drive stops functioning and when I open Device Manager properties, there is an error message: "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" When I click the button to "Check for solutions..." the message comes back: "COuld not load drive software"
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice and the issue is consistant. Does anyone have a clue for a solution?

    I have the same problem!!! I'm running on Windows Vista, have a DELL Inspiron 530 desktop, and have a Toshiba/Samsung TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-H653A ATA Device for my optical drive with the latest drivers. When I install the latest version of iTunes, things are great, when I reboot, my drive "disappears" and shows an "error 10" in the Device Manager. When I uninstall iTunes and reboot, the drive is recognized again! I went a step further and pinpointed the problem to specifically iTunes (versus some other burning software i.e. roxio).
    Also, this is not a registry key problem! I read the forums and went in and deleted the upper key and the lower key already had GEAR--something.... whatever Microsoft said should be in the dialog box. When I changed my registry keys, yes my optical drive was recognized, but then iTunes said that it needed to be reinstalled because some files were now missing, so i reinstalled it, rebooted, and my drive goes missing again! ARG!
    PLEASE SOMEONE OUT THERE HELP!!! My sister has the same system practically, but on a DELL laptop, and she doesn't have this problem. What's wrong?!

  • Unable to load ITUNES onto PC HP, windows 7 Home Version.  Error message reads "Application Application Support not found".  "Unistall and reload".  I have done that 4 times on Explorer and Firefox without success.  Help??

    Unable to load ITUNES onto PC HP, windows 7 Home Version.  Error message reads "Application Application Support not found".  "Uninstall and reload".  I have done that 4 times on Explorer and Firefox without success.  Help??

    I had gotten a similar problem, except with "provider services", i believe, but i solved it by copying sqlite3.dll from E:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support to E:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support. doing that solved my first problem, but now i have been getting the error described in this topic (unable to load dataclass info... etc.). i tried reinstalling itunes (i already had 9.1.1, and thats what i reinstalled) by using the method described on apples site (using the "remove programs" tool in the control panel) and then downloading and installing itunes. when i opened it again, i still got the same error, and just now i got an error saying "the instruction at "0x00aadb6b" referenced memory at "0x00000008". the memory could not be read" it gave me the option to cancel and debug, or to press ok and terminate the program. I tried pressing cancel, and the popup went away but nothing else happened. a minute later the popup was back, so i pressed ok and itunes quit. Upon opening Itunes again, i got the very same error. sorry for the long post, but its really been bugging me. thanks for any help you might give, and if you need anymore info, feel free to contact me.

    Not with your current user id.
    Far too much uneccesary information in your post, which only confuses things, a vast amount!
    Let's start with iTunes.
    Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
    With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
    Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

    Really?
    OS stands for Operating System. (In computer speak, IO means Input/Output.)
    iOS originally stood for iPhone Operating System, but it now refers to the iPod Touch and iPhone. The iPod Classic, which you have listed in your profile as your iPod, does not use iOS.
    I assume that you have been listening to the Podcast in your iTunes on the computer as you cannot transfer it to your iPod. It's what I'd do.
