    This is all just a partial answer since details will depend upon how you want to do it.

    You'll need to get it all onto one iTunes collection on your Mac Pro, then sync the devices to that.  iTunes only lets you transfer purchases from a device, otherwise you have to use third party software.
    I guess you could also look into getting iTunes Match.

  • HT1351 I have an IPOD that has not been synced to Itunes for several years. I no longer have the same computer or e-mail address.  How can I sync my old IPOD material to my new itunes account?

    I have an older IPOD that has not been synced to Itunes for seceral yeras. I no longer have the same computer or e-mail address. How can I sync my old IPOD material to my new Itunes account?

    Your email address (used as your Apple ID) does not matter, because iPods are not directly linked to a particular Apple ID. 
    NOTE:  You can still use your old Apple ID, even if your that email address is no longer valid.  As long as you remember your Apple ID password.  Go here and click on Manage your Apple ID.

    You can change the primary email address used by Apple, although the Apple ID remains the same.
    Back to the iPod.  iTunes syncing is generally in one direction only, from the computer's iTunes library to the iPod.  You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.  (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
    Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your new iTunes library.  After confirming everything is there, sync your iPod to that library.  If there is any content purchased from the iTunes Store that uses DRM (copy protection), such as audiobooks, videos, and very old song purchases, iTunes may prompt you to authorize your computer with your Apple ID (the one you used to make the purchases).

    The ipod is not a backup device.  The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  the exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old comptuer, to your new one.

    iTunes on tmy new computer shows none of my data and I fear if I sync my iPod with the computer all will be deleted on the iPod.
    I still have everything in iTunes on the old computer.

    Just move your iTunes library to you new computer.  You can transfer iTunes purchases to you new computer from your iPod by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848Make sure you also move the backup.  You an find where the the backup is located here:
    iPhone and iPod touch: About backups
    You can move other items by:
    Best iPod to PC
    After you move you stuff to the new computer, restore the iPod from backup.

  • I just bought a new computer and have tried syncing my iTunes library and iPod 160gb classic to the newly downloaded iTunes on my new computer. It is not working.

    Please can somebody help? I followed the instructions on the support page for transferring music from computer to another by downloading the music files then putting them into the iTunes music file on the new computer. Unfortunately, iTunes on the new computer is not recognising the files. I have turned on home sharing to see if I could transfer them that way. It seemed to work then disappeared entirely. I tried connecting my iPod to see if it would recognise it that way. It does recognise my iPod but not the music in it and will not sync with my new computer.
    Sorry if this is a boring subject that everyone has had a problem with but I am not able to get a proper answer on the internet. This should be easy not rocket science.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi ldean1,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The best way to get your music onto your new computer is to create a backup of your iTunes libray from your old computer to an external drive.  Follow the steps in this article:

  • I can't get my ipod touch to sync to itunes in my new computer

    I've recently purchased a new computer, and installed itunes onto it. I've plugged in my ipod touch and itunes does not respond to it at all. no sync options, or anything. please help.

    Before you do sync, copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.  Otherwise on the initial sync it WILL wipe the content of the iPod and replace it with the blank library from the new computer.

  • I lost my iTunes library on a crashed external hard drive.  How can I import music from my iPod that was not originally purchased on iTunes?

    The 500 gig hard drive on my 2008 iMac was so full it was running very slowly, so I transferred the iTunes library to an old external Maxtor 1T drive.  A few months later the Maxtor crashed, and the library went with it.  My 3rd G. iPod Touch still has the whole library on it, but I don't know if ALL the music will transfer back to the mac when the iPod syncs.  A portion of the music was from CDs we borrowed from our kids.  How can I get all of the music that is presently on my iPod to transfer back to a new iTunes v. 11.1.2 library on the mac?

    One application that's able to accomplish what you want is called Senuti.

  • I have music on my ipod that i cant move onto my itunes on the mac, I have music on my ipod that i cant move onto my itunes on the mac

    I have a new mac, have downloaded my itunes on to it pluged in my devices and half the music on my Ipod has not transfered. How can i get it into my itune library ?

    Plug in your device and wait for it to show up in iTunes. After it does click on it, then go to "Music." Shift+click to select the desired audio files, and manually drag them up to the "music" folder at the top left within iTunes. If that doesn't work we can try something else.

  • Saving music on an ipod that previous owner dowloaded from their itunes account

    I was given an Ipod Nano 2nd generation as a gift several years ago.  There are 181 songs on the ipod all of which were downloaded from someone elses itunes account.  I don't know itunes Id or password & I don't have an itunes accounts.  How can i back up the songs & reset my ipod without losing all the songs?

    Yes. See:
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
    If photos were synced to the iPod then you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView.
