My ipod is not syncing with my new computer

My new tunes are showing in my new computer but not in my old computer and my ipod nano will not sync with my new computer. Especially play lists. Not even new ones. Old playlists will not sync to my new computer either.

transfer the song from the old to the new computer's iTunes.
you can use e.g. home sharing to transfer the song.

You can only sync with one iTunes library/computer. To switch:

I got a new computer and my IPOD will not sync with the new computer.....I have a ITUNES account on the new computer and is downloading music just fine but it will not sync to the IPOD....What should I do to sync my IPOD? thanks

Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
Attempts to sync an iDevice to a new computer will remove all content from the device and replace it with content from the new, empty library.

My iPod classic 7th Gen will not sync with my new computer. itunes is installed and updated.

fellow iPod classic owners,
                                       the problem is a failure to sync with the new computer. the conditions are as follows: the new computer is a pc. it has the latest iTunes software installed. the iPod is installed properly. i'm fully recognized by my iTunes account. there is nothing lacking other than my iPod's refusal to sync with my new computer. what have i left undone? i could be suffering from a duh, but i'm not the only one. nothing in the apple world is as difficult as this one is, at least on the surface. if it were that simple an issue, no one would be having any problems with it. any more information needed can be provided by request. by the way, the computer being used has been authorized. that is a non-issue.
                                                                                                             your help is appreciated,
                                                                                                                 hardphil.

I believe the IPOD (Classic) uses USB 2.0, and my new laptop uses USB 3.0. I think they are not compatable because of this. If you find a solution to this please let me know.
Thanks,

Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

HT2305 I have a new computer with Windows 8 OS. Do I need to install drivers so that my Ipod Nano will sync with this new computer:

My daughter gave me a new Ipod (Nano) for Christmas. I had no problem download my songs from my old Ipod (Shuffle) to the new one. However - since I do not buy songs on a regular basis, I did not buy a new song until 4/29/13. Now for information...sometime in March my old laptop died, completely. I had to go buy a new one - which I did and this new one has Windows 8 Operating System on it (which I hate, btw).
Now, when I bout a song on Tuesday, the song did not go to my new Ipod. I tried everything and finally had to talk to a tech - who was very kind in helping me and we did get all my songs from Itunes to this new computer. I thought the song I bought would then go on the Ipod - but it did not. I had already hung up from the tech - since we had been talking on the phone for about an hour. He informed me that he was giving me a "courtesy break" because it has been over 90 days since my new Ipod was purchased ---- just my darn luck!
Anyway, I have figured out on my own that the new Ipod Nano is not synced with the new laptop with Windows 8. I have been trying for the last 2 hours to get it to do so and in doing so, found out that Windows 8 is not mentioned in any of the help forums. So...my question is: Do I need to install drivers on the computer or what? I will not be purchasing anymore music from Itunes until I get this matter resolved. Any help will be apreciated. Thank you.

My ipod classic is not syncing with my new computer

I have an ipod classic 160 gb that is not syncing with my laptop that runs windows 7. According to itunes that pops up when I connect it to the laptop I have all the latest software for itunes and for my ipod. I had this ipod connected to itunes on an older laptop and that crashed and I no longer have anyway to use it as I have not had it fixed yet. So thinking I could just use the new computer like the old one I installed itunes on the new laptop and connected and authorized my new computer. As of right now itunes recognizes all the old songs that were on it and I'm guessing the old computer, but when I have purchased new songs they wont transfer to the ipod; it doesn't even give me the option to sync my ipod so I can have the new music on it. I can play the new music on itunes on the laptop but like I said it wont go to the ipod. Any help would be great. Thank you.

Is all your content in your new iTunes when you unplug the iPod? If so then it's pretty easy. You'll have to restore the iPod, which emptys it of content. Only do this if said content is already in iTunes. Reload your content by clicking the iPod tab, and in that window, click the "Music" tab. (It should be on "Summary") In the "Music" window, all your content should appear below. I used the "transfer entire library" option, and then synced. That should do it. If your content only appears in iTunes when your iPod is plugged in, then you'll have to use a third party program, such as YamiPod, to transfer all your music that isn't purchased from Apple. If this is a small amount of data, it may be easier to just reload it, once your iPod has synced.

My ipod isn't syncing with my new computer...?

I just recently got a new computer and was trying to put all my music and videos and movies and pictures and stuff on my ipod onto my new computer. When I hooked up my ipod, only the things I bought from the itunes library synced with the computer. I tried clicking sync but when I did that, it says that the ipod can only by synced with one computer (my old one) and in order to sync it with my new computer, I needed to erase everything on my ipod and then replace it with the material that will be synced from the new computer. I don't want to erase everything on my ipod because I don't want to have to lose material that I didn't buy from the itunes store, like what I uploaded from cds. Is there any way to get around this and still sync my ipod to my new computer?

Also, after I purchased a few things on my new computer from the itunes store, I can't get them onto my ipod because it says it won't sync. I've tried selecting the different files and dragging them over to the ipod section on the left of itunes but it has a little DO NOT sign on it when I try...

My Iphone will not sync with my new computer

My previous computer died so I bought a new one and registered with Apple. I also updated to IOS 5. Now my phone will not sync with my computer. Does anyone know how I fix this?

Vague.
What does "will not sync" mean?
What have you tried?

Any info?

I have recently copied my iTunes to a new computer using the instructions from Apple site, via an external drive. My iPod will not sync on the new computer. The option to sync automatically is greyed out and it won't let me set it. How do I resolve?

I have recently installed iTunes on a new Windows 8 laptop and copied from my old XP system using an external drive. This all went ok. The problem is that i can't get my iPod classic to sync on the new laptop. I did a factory reset and re-install. It still won't sync. When I hit the 'sync' icon it does nothing. In the Options screen the option to automatically sync is greyed out and doesn't allow me to enter anything in the box. How can i resolve this?

You need iTunes on the computer. There is no iTunes for your phone. See:

Ipod will not sync with 2nd authorized computer

I recently purchased a new laptop. I downloaded itunes and authorized it for my ipod. What keeps happening is a message that says my ipod is synced with another itunes library which I know. It is on the old one. I want to keep the itunes library on the old one and add it to the new computer's itunes library. Can I do this? If so what am I doing wrong. The new computer I take to work and want the same songs on it as my home computer. I cannot listen to my ipod at work so I want to listen to the library. I have reset my ipod and have erased all songs from old computer when sync with new computer. Then I tried to sync with old computer but only a few songs made it through. HELP Me Please.

u want to use the ipod with 2 different computers right? so go to itunes with your Ipod plugged in, and select your Ipod from the Playlist bar. go to settings and check "Manualy Manage Music" then click reply. now you should be able to copy songs to your Ipod from both computersm just leave it synced with one and drag the songs to the ipod with the other.

My old iPhone4 music library does not sync with my new computer.

I have an old iPhone 4 that has days of my CDs burned onto it.
Recently, I upgraded my Windows Vistas to Windows 7.
I cannot get my music from my iPhone into the new new iTunes.
I get a message that says music from a different library cannot be added to the currently library.
Any ideas experts?

I believe the IPOD (Classic) uses USB 2.0, and my new laptop uses USB 3.0. I think they are not compatable because of this. If you find a solution to this please let me know.
Thanks,

My ipod is not recognized on a new computer after old one crashed. I have painstakenly restored all songs and playlists. I deautorized all, and the reauthorized new computer. It won't sync.

My ipod is now recognized on a new computer after old one crashed. I installed itunes on the new computer, and have painstakenly restored all songs and playlists. I also purchased several new songs from the itunes stores. Now my ipod will not sync with the new computer. I deauthorized all computers, then reauthorozed the new one. My ipod still won't sync.

...after running diagnostics through itunes, itunes says "device not found" Seems there are a lot of others having this problem,and it seems to be related to new version of itunes. Apple should do something to fix this.

I just bought a new Retina Display macbook pro, and I plugged in my iPod touch (4th gen) into the new computer, but it will not show up, even after I typed in the passcode. How do I get my iTouch to sync with my new computer without restoring my itouch?
