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

    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.

  • HT1420 My iPod will not sync on my new PC.

    My iPod classic will not sync on my new PC.  I have authorized this PC with my Apple ID, but regardless of my trying to sync, it is not doing so.  I have the new Windows 8, if that matters.  I can play newly added music in my LIbrary on my PC, but it does not show up on my iPod.  Any ideas?

    Is this particular iPod model explicity marked as compatible with this new microsystem? You might want to contact the microsystems manufacturer for more information.

  • 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:
    Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device: Several Alternative Solutions

    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.

  • I just got a new computer, and now my ipod will not sync to my new one, even though i "deauthorized" my old one? help please?

    As the title says really. I deauthorized my old computer and therefore i thought that would mean i could sync my ipod, when i authorized my new one but it won't sync to my library on this laptop. why?

    Before you start, remember that connecting to a new iTunes library will erase your device during the first sync.
    Here's how to save your data and settings: How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    After that you can connect it and set it up again. If it is not recognized in iTunes, follow this article: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

  • Itunes will not download to my new Windows 7 laptop

    Hi
    The download box opens (Run or Save etc) press run and it just sits there saying 2 days to download and then after a while gives up. I have checked for fragments of Apple programmes on the laptop, but have found none. Downloads from non-Apple places work fine. Can anyone help?

    Perhaps try downloading and saving a copy of the installer to a different PC. (If you're on a 32-bit Windows system, try to download on a different 32-bit Windows system.) Copy the iTunesSetup.exe installer to an external hard-drive, or a large-enough thumb drive or burn it to a CD-R. Carry the installer back to your PC, copy the installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install from the ExHD, thumb or CD-R.) Start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe file.

  • I just got a new computer and my iPOD will not sync to it because of the old computer. How can I get my library to sync on the new computer????

    See this article how to transfer your data? How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
    This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
    Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
    The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.

    As mentioned by vazandrew, music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.

  • My ipod touch is not syncing properly. I have updated the software to the latest (2.2.1) and have even resored it. Itunes says it is working and updated but will not sync and apps. Error message says that app will not sync because a newer version needed

    My ipod touch (model A1213) is not syncing properly. I have updated the software to the latest (2.2.1) and have even resored it. Itunes says it is working and updated but will not sync and apps. Error message says that app will not sync because a newer version needed.

    2.2.1 is not the latest available for any ipod touch.
