My old computer crashed, new laptop, syncing my ipod so that it doesn't delete all my songs from my ipod?

My old computer recently crashed, and so i've bought this windows laptop (which i'm using now).
I have an iPod classic (latest model) and am fearful that if I retrieve my account on my new laptop, it'll delete all the information, 1,3000 songs and multiple videos from my iTunes, leaving my iPod with barely nothing. If this happens, i'll probably end of selling it, becuase this was not my fault, i love my music and i've not the time to replenish my library with that many songs, which has taken me a year to compile.
Can anyone help me, if so I would much appreciate it?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.

  • I recently bought a new macbook air and I tried to get my music from my iPod, but instead my mac deleted all my songs from my iPod, and I can't get it back. What am I suppose to do?

    I had a bunch of songs from my itunes on my older laptop, and it was no problem to get the songs on my iPod. Now with my mac, I am facing too much problems with getting all my music to my ipod from my itunes. I lost all my songs, and the recent ones still won't sync. Its either I have the songs on my ipod and it can't play on my itunes or vice versa. I feel as though my investment in Apple was a big mistake. I'm having too much problems with it.

    You need to installed it in the same way as you did on old machine.
    If you like to save one instance of the license then please do de-activate while uninstalling.
    Or if you have already used your "Two" instances of installation then you must need to de-activate one of the machine while
    uninstalling so it will release the instance for new installation.

  • I have an ipod touch and i just bought a new laptop, because i lost mine. i try to sync the music in the itouch to my new laptop but it asks me if i want to delete all my music before syncing  what should i do?

    You should use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new computer.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.
    The ipod will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase teh content from the ipod.

  • I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?

    Hello everybody,
    I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?
    I share one Itunes account with other people from my family and one person would like to keep the same songs on the new Ipod as the ones which were on the old one.
    Thanks in advance for your answer.

    Hello Chris,
    Thanks for your answer. I was hoping for an easier answer. Too bad there is no drag and drop solution, it would have been much easier.
    Thanks for answering so fast.

    If iTunes purchases then:

    Otherwise you will have to get them from where you originally obtained them

How do I completely clear my ipod music, and how can I solve the syncing problem?

    Sync works the same way it always has, connect the device, select the content desired to sync and sync.
    All the media should be in iTunes already, iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
    If this is a new computer, move the content from the old computer to the new computer.

  • Question about transferring all my songs from current IPOD to New IPOD....

    I currently have a 15GB IPOD, that I've had for about 2+ years.....has the 4 control buttons on top of the spin wheel. Anyway, I currently have over 2500+ songs, many from my CD collection.
    I'm interested in purchasing a new 60GB IPOD, so I can enjoy the new video feature. Is there any way to transfer all my songs from one IPOD to another? I don't want to do anything illegal, but both IPOD's would belong to me. I don't think I could go through copying all the CD's over again. I don't think they'll be a problem transferring my other songs (not from CD).
    Has anyone done this?
    Any helps/hints would be greatly appreciated.

    As long as your songs are in iTunes on your PC, then you can transfer them to as many iPods as you own.

  • Old computer crashed and cannot sync ipod to new computer?

    My old computer crashed and now i got a new computer. I can download songs from itunes with my appleID but they wont sync to my ipod?! I tried following the troubleshoot for authorizing a new computer and it says it is now authorized. I also use to use home sharing for my and my mom's computers. I deauthorized all computers and then tried re authourizing this one but still no luck. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Im leaving for vacation Friday and would love to have all the songs I just purchased go onto my ipod! Thanks for any help!

    Hey missyt23
    I would try restoring the iPod and then sync again. A thing to look for is to change settings for syncing music. For example change to manually manage music and drag the music to the iPod.

  • Need help transferring itunes library from old computer to new laptop

    Hello,
    I recently purchased a new laptop and am having trouble getting my library to transfer to my new laptop, i followed this step by step process http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329?viewlocale=en_US and in the end ended up with no music on my ipod and no music in the itunes library on my new computer...
    So then i went into Itunes on the new computer and clicked import library under File, so i found the Music folder that i had transferred over and it imported the music but all my playlist were not there, just songs. So i ended up syncing my ipod back to my old computer so i would get all the songs and playlist back on as it was originally before this whole process...
    My desktop runs XP while my new laptop runs Vista Ultimate w/ SP1 home edition, dont know if this matters...
    So not sure where i should go from here, i have already Authorized my laptop with the itunes store , i was thinking of uninstalling Itunes on my laptop and starting over from scratch, will this help?
    BTW when i did the original transfer i used my Ipod as the hard drive as it had plenty of storage room left on it, i do have access to a 250GB external HD i was thinking of using that and trying that to transfer the library...
    So if anyone can tell me how to transfer my Itunes library from old comp to new laptop it would be greatly appreciated...

    The method you used should work if followed exactly.
    The key points are - is your music all together? It must all be in the iTunes Music folder in the iTunes folder.
    When you copy the iTunes folder to the iPod you get the library database with your playlists and the iTunes Music folder containing the music files.
    Since you had trouble doing this with the iPod, why not try copying your iTunes folder to the external drive.
    The method is identical the one for the iPod except you leave out the iPod specific stuff.
    You install iTunes on the new PC, then you drag the newly created iTunes folder out the Music folder to the desktop, then you copy the iTunes folder from the EHD into Music, replacing the one you dragged out.
    When you have done that, you need to check that your account has full control of your iTunes folder - Vista is fussy about that - you will not be able to edit track info if you don't have full control.

  • I recently lost all my files on my computer. is there any way I can download all my songs from my ipod to my computer.

    can someone tell me if i can download all my music from my ipod through my itunes into my computer. I recently lost all my files on my computer along with my music folder

    Music is intended to go from your computer to the iPod. Going the other way is contrary to the design and is not trivial. To extract music from your iPod requires the assistance of third party utilities.
    If you purchased music from the iTunes Store, no worries, you can simply download it again with the one caveat that the music is still available in the Store.
    For other music, the following might be helpful:
