My Laptop was stolen. On the Itunes, I had many songs saved from other sources, that are currently on my Itouch. Itunes wants me to Erase to sync, and I dont want to erase. I have no access to those songs anymore. Is there a way to sync my Touch with my New laptop withoit erasing my I touch?

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.
Do this:
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 device 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

  • Just updated and now my iTunes will not transfer my music from my PC that I haven't purchase via iTunes

    Just updated my iPad ,now I can't seem to transfer my music from my PC that I didn't buy in iTunes !  Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.

    Welcome to the Apple Community Bill.
    Do you each have your own Apple ID for iTunes.
    How did you get the songs onto your phone.

  • Help! I think my laptop was stolen, but the light is still on for "internet"...

    Does this mean the connection is still active, meaning it's around my house and just misplaced?
    Thank you so much, I'm really hysterical because we really can't find it or the charger for it at all...

    If numbers 1,2,3,4 ethernet light is on, then this means that something is plugged in there, this could be a computer, printer or any networking devices. The internet light is lit up because you modem is apparently connected to the internet port.
    Basically, those lights in front of the router indicates that there are devices connected at the back of the router.

  • How do you use the windows User32.dll Library functions to read variables from other applications that are running

    I am trying to read a text box from a programme running at the same time as my Labview application using calls to the Windows
    User32.dll. I believe I need to find the window handle for the 'form' containing this text string and use this together with
    various other defined input variables to access the sting.
    I have no experience of using this 'Call Library Function Node', but have an understanding of the 'C' programming language. Does anyone have
    example Labview code showing how this might be done.
    Thanks

    If you're trying to access information that's being displayed in the window of another application and that application has no ActiveX interface, then yes, Windows calls can be used. There's a very good example on calling DLLs that ship with LabVIEW. Open the Example Finder (Help->Find Examples) and switch to the Search tab. Enter "Call" in the search box and open the VI "Call DLL". Run the VI, select any of the examples, and click the "Open Example VI..." button. That shows you how to call a DLL.
    Now, given that you have no experience in calling DLLs, have only an "understanding" of C (which to me means you have never written something like a DLL), and don't seem to know that much about what Windows functions you may need, you're going to find this route pretty difficult, especially since you have to deal with Windows API calls, which are not always that easy to do from LabVIEW.
    Let me propose an alternate solution. Go over to http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/ and download AutoIt. This is an automation tool that allows you to automate just about anything you want. It has an ActiveX interface that you can call from LabVIEW. I've attached an example VI that shows you how to use it to get the value of a text box from one of the tabs in the computer "System Properties" control panel applet.

  • How do I transfer music from my ipod to my new computer when I have songs downloaded from another source that is not i tunes. It prompts me for i tunes user name numerous times with different profiles every time.

    It is not showing my ipod as registered on this computer by the way.

    If all the numerous user profiles are yours, just sign in with the relevant passwords. If they are not then you shouldn't be using the media anyway...

  • If i buy something in the canadian iTunes will it download onto my other devices that are signed into the U.S itunes store?

    im trying to downloan a TV series from the Canadian iTunes, but im wondering, if i do that, will i be able to download it on my other devices that are signed into a US itunes store?

    Not unless you have them sign into the Canadian store. However, unless you have a Canadian Apple ID, iTunes account and Canadian bank-issued credit card, and Canadian billing address you won't be able to get a thing from the Canadian store. If you meet these requirements anything you buy will be tied to your Canadian Apple ID, not your US one.

  • My laptop was stolen how can I re-sync my iphone to the new laptop without losing all of my data?

    Hi to all,
    I hope someone can help me.  I know this question has been asked in various formats but I can't seem to find exactly what I am looking for, so please forgive me if this type of question is asked again.
    My laptop was stolen a few months ago and I have finally been able to replace it.  The common issue of course is that I can only sync it to one iTunes library at a time, which was on my laptop that some thief is currently enjoying the use of.
    I don't have a lot of money so all of my backups were on the stolen laptop as I don't have an external hard drive.  I understand you can authorize iTunes or the iPhone to go on upto 5 computers at a time?
    As soon as I plugged in my phone (on the new laptop) I created a backup of everything on there using iTunes.  I guess my question is, if I plug in my iphone and ask it to restore from back up, will it wipe the phone and replace it with the first back up on the new laptop or will it still delete everything altogether as the original content is not on the new laptop?
    As much as it would be a pain, the music content is the least of my concern.  It's more a case of making sure I keep my contacts, photos and purchases from the app store.  I have read somewhere that you can transfer your purchases but I'm not sure how to do this.
    I really hope someone can help and apologies for the repeat topic!
    Thanks in advance to any who take the time to read and reply, I will appreciate any input/insight you may be able to provide.

    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • My laptop was stolen and all my music is on my iPod Classic. How can I transfer it to my new computer and keep the playlists and such?

    Hey Everyone,
    My apartment was broken into and my laptop was stolen which had my entire iTunes library.  I have it all on my iPod Classic now which was with me at the time.
    What do you suggest as the best tool to transfer the music FROM my iPod to to my new computer?  I know there are some programs out there, what have you had success with?
    My most important question is, is there a way to retain my library and especially playlists as it is (instead of copying over a massive bunch of songs)?  Most of my music is from music blogs, mixtapes and underground artists so most of it cannot be found in the iTunes store.
    Thanks for any help guys!
    Vlad.

  • HT1420 My Laptop was stolen and I am unable to deauthorize it. How can I deauthorize computers I no longer have access to?

    How can I authorize my new laptop when my old laptop was stolen and I am unable to deauthorize it? There are three other computers apparently on my account that I also am no aware of , nor do I have access to. I am unable to add any new computers to my account.

    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. Otherwise you can "deauthorize all" from your iTunes account.
    Open iTunes on a computer
    From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
    Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
    Under "Computer Authorizations" select "Deauthorize All".
    Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "deauthorize all" your authorized computers, authorize each one as required.
