My classics IPOD has died over the weekend and I plan to but an IPOD Touch -- but need to to 'work' and simply sync all my 'old' music on a plug and play basis -- or is that wishful thinking ? I need it urgently for a holiday so only time to buy it n run

Any advice on :
1. The Touch as a product
2. The likely chances of plug and play resync to new device without hours of 'fiddling' / support calls
or I can just use my Shuffle I guess ----

There should be no problems, make sure to have all the needed software updates for Windows and the new iTunes 10.5 installed before connecting your iPod touch.
You already know how the basic sync process is working, there are a few more features added like mail for example: iOS: Syncing with iTunes

  • I have an older Ipod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new Ipod Touch and cannot be updated.  Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one?

    I have an older iPod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new iPod Touch and Itunes cannot be updated.  Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one?  It is my understanding that the music cannot be saved onto my new iTunes, b/c I did not have iCloud. I have over 2,000 songs I just cannot part with. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help some how!!  THANKS!

    I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

  • My harddrive died over the weekend - how do i get my tracks back?

    Ok so my HDD unexpectedly died the other day, and I've now got it replaced and all working again.
    So I reinstall Itunes and log into my account... and no downloads start. I expected all the music tied to my account to redownload automatically.
    How do I get all my music and games back?
    Thanks.

    Nevermind, I found how to transfer them back off my Ipod.

  • HT3728 my broadband speed has all of a sudden been reduced dramatically over the weekend. the isp asked me to eliminate my apple airport express base station to make sure that my 20mb band is being delivered which i did and confirmed so.

    MY BROADBAND HAS BEEN REDUCED DRAMATICALLY IN MY HOME NETWORK USING MY AIRPORT EXTREME BASE STATION.
    THIS HAPPENED  SO UNEXPECTEDLY OVER THE WEEKEND. I CALL MY ISP AND THEY SIMPLY TOLD ME TO ELIMINATE THE AIRPORT
    EXTREME BASE  STATION  TO CONFIRM THAT  WHAT I  HAVE PURCHASED  IS BEING DELIVERED WHICH I  DID AND CONFIRMED.
    MEANWHILE USING MY  NETWORK UNTIL LAST  FRIDAY EVERYTHING LOOKED  JUST  GREAT.
    I  WONDER WHETHER  I WOULD HAVE TO   RESET MY  AIRPORT EXTREME TO FACTORY  SETTINGS TO RECONFIGURE  IT.

    Hmm. Your ISP is incorrect in telling you that removing any of your routers on the local area network will have anything to do with the bandwidth performance that they provide you at the Internet modem. On the other hand, changing/removing networking equipment on your local network DOES affect bandwidth performance on that local network.
    Most likely what the ISP is asking you to do is verify that you are getting their promised download/upload bandwidth at the modem. It appears that you did that and verified that you are getting the stated bandwidth.
    So, we should take a look at why, when adding the AirPort Extreme, you are getting less.
    First off, which AirPort Extreme model do you have? What is the make & model of the broadband modem that your ISP is providing you?
    It is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of your networking equipment when introducing new hardware. Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details.
    (p.s. Please don't use all capital letters when you post. It appears to readers that you are shouting. Thx!)

  • My laptop recently crashed and is unsalvagable with my itunes library on it.  My ipod touch has all of my music still on it.  Is there a way that I can put the songs on my ipod onto itunes on my new computer??

    My laptop recently crashed and is unsalvageable with my itunes library on it.  My ipod still has all of my music still on it. 
    Is there a way that I can put the songs on my ipod onto itunes on my new computer without loosing them or having to buy them all over again?

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your iPod for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • HT201364 I downloaded OS X Mavericks over the weekend and it has made my Macbook Pro extremely slow

    I downloaded OS X Mavericks over the weekend and it has made my Macbook very slow. Browsing has become slow. Mail hardly moves. It takes ages to show contents of inbox, yes including previously downloaded emails too. Thus the overall experience is very disappointing. IS THERE A WAY TO GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS OS X that I had? OS X Mavericks should be renamed as OS X HAVOCKWRECKS.

    These next categories are all things that are loaded at startup and can be potential causes for poor performance, as they run in the background. These all need to be looked at carefully if you want your mac to run better. The rules are:
    1) if you can live without the app that installs these potential culprits, uninstall it. You have to uninstall the app itself, not just the file that is listed here.
    2) if you can't live without the app, then at least research it to see if it is compatible with Mavericks, and make sure you have the latest version.

    Well first you locate your Caps Lock key. It is located above shift, and below tab. Now you press it, and take a deep breath. If your iPod is outside of its service, have you looked into other options like local repair shops? Sometimes they still service older products.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Account hacked over the weekend

    My iTunes/Apple account was hacked over the weekend. Someone overwrote all my information with someone else's and purchased 2 gift cards. Contacted support but was given the answer that it was a "fluke" where someone overwrote my account by using the same email address. If that is the case then there are problems with the system. They also claimed in their response that there was no reason to believe malicious intent was involved. hmm. .. .
    My bank verified that an attempt was made to use my credit card, but it was denied since the card was replaced recently (fortunately).
    I have provided support with the receipts etc. but have had no further response. I have asked them to conduct an investigation and verify with the other person whether those charges were "legit".
    Anyone else have this problem and have gotten any resolution with Apple Support?

    I think it's great that Apple is seemingly fine with staying completely out of this epidemic.
    Granted, some people may have fallen for a phishing scam and unknowingly gave up their password. I'm not convinced that's happened to everyone, though, and I know that didn't happen to me when this went down last week.
    Something is faulty with the iTunes program or its encryption. Something is faulty with iTunes CS for not even attempting to remedy this problem. In my case, in the sent to field for this gift certificate, there wasn't a recipient name: it was my PASSWORD. Why would I willingly send someone a gift certificate and just leave my password in there?
    As PayPal will not do anything either (surprise, their CS at least has a bad reputation that precedes them, unlike Apple) I now have to go to my bank. Chances are I'll close my PayPal as well as buy my songs elsewhere from now on.

  • I got a new laptop and downloaded iTunes, when I put new music on it for the first time, my entire music library disappeared, leaving me with only newly downloaded music in my library. My iPod still has all my old music.

    Recently, I bought a new laptop (a Lenovo), so I downloaded iTunes to it. When I bought new music from iTunes for the first time on the new computer, I went to my music library and there was no music, except for the new songs I had just bought. I have no idea what happened, I've had hundreds of songs I've bought from iTunes or downloaded from bought CDs over the years, which are all still on my iPod (nano, from 2008), and suddenly they just didn't seem to exist. I have yet to access the iTunes account on my previous laptop to see if my music is still there, but I would assume yes. When I went to sync my iPod to my iTunes to at least get the new songs to the iPod (so that my complete library can be on at least one device), I realized that in order to sync my iPod to my iTunes, I would be deleting all my old music and replacing it with the new. So now, I only have a few new songs on my laptop's iTunes, and only my old songs on my iPod. In both cases I paid for all the music, so I don't want to just delete any of it. Is there any way to fix this?

    Also-I tried to use my backup hard drive, but I wasn't able to drag/transfer/send/move any of my muic files onto my iTouch when the iTouch was connected to my computer.  I can't figure out why it won't let me do that. 
    The only thing I can see when I open my iTouch on my computer is my file with photos.  I can't see videos, music, or anything else.  What's going on?

  • HT1386 My I phone used to play music that I had downloaded from Cds to my computer, but since the last update,my phone only plays songs that I bought on itunes.  It still shows I have all my old music but won't play any of it.  What's going on?

    Ok, so I synched my iphone 4 to my computer recently and now when I go to play music on my phone, only the songs I've bought on Itunes play.  I put all of my music collection that is in CD form on my computer and it used to play on my phone too, but now it just skips those songs.  They still play on my computer though.  I've been trying to figure out what the problem is for over three days or so and am about to loose my friggin mind! Can anyone help me? 

    De-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.
