New computer help with ipod

My old computer was stolen along with back up disks. I bought a new computer and I need to know how to transfer existing songs from my ipod to a new computer.

Hi Deeg!
NOTE: The following steps and advice may or may not work on a Windows Vista PC, as they are meant for either Windows 2000 or XP. In short, you'll be basically doing these things at your own risk.
First, install the latest iTunes before you connect your iPod to your computer, if you haven’t done that already (to download iTunes, go here).
Then, when it comes time to connect your iPod to your computer, let's start out with preventing iTunes from automatically syncing with your iPod, which would delete all of the contents off of it. Although this is unlikely, let's go ahead and do it to be safe:
1 - Open iTunes.
2 - Connect your iPod to your computer.
3 - Basically as soon as your iPod begins to display "Do Not Disconnect", begin to press and hold the Shift and Ctrl keys on your keyboard together simultaneously.
4 - Continue to hold these keys for about 20 seconds throughout the time that your iPod is showing up in the Source List in iTunes, and syncing.
After you've done this, click on your iPod's name in the Source List, and under the "Summary" tab, tick the "Manually manage" option for your iPod. Click the "Apply" button in the bottom-right corner to save your changes.
Also, when you connect your iPod to your computer, you will get a message that says: "The contents of the iPod "your iPod's name" is synced to another iTunes library. What would you like to do?"
Please make sure to click on "Cancel" when you receive this message, and NOT "Erase and Sync", or else your iPod's songs will be replaced with the current contents of your iTunes library, deleting anything that isn’t currently backed up.
After you've prevented your iPod's songs from being lost when doing that, we can transfer the iPod's songs to your computer.
There are a couple of methods in doing this, including the first method laid out in this post. (It also contains a link to MacMuse's post about iPod-to-computer transfer, as well)
The most straightforward method in copying your iPod's songs to your computer, however, might be to download a third-party program that can do this for you.
For example, if you are on a Windows computer, you can use YamiPod (I find it a fairly easy program to figure out and use with both of my iPods).
As a note, you will have to have iTunes closed when you run this program, though.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Try following this guide which explains how to move your iTunes Library to your new computer. This works best if your library is smaller than the iPod capacity. If not click the use alternative CD/DVD method explained on the first paragraph of the guide.

I wiped my ipod classic and then my computer crashed, so i no longer have the songs i purchsed from itunes on my ipod or computer! I have a new computer now with itunes installed, can I get the songs purchased previously from itunes somehow?

Yes, you can!(:
STEP 1: Open iTunes
STEP 2: Navigate to the "iTunes Store". It can be found under the "STORE" tab.
STEP 3: On the right side of the store there should be a "Quick Links" Section. Click on the "Purchased" link.
STEP 4: Navigate to the "Music" tab and click on "All Songs". Then at the bottom of the screen there will be a button that says "Download All". Click the button and your songs will be begin downloading!
NOTE: This will only work with songs that you bought from the iTunes store, if you imported them from a CD, you will have to do it again.
NOTE: You can also do this with Apps, Movies, TV Shows, and Books.
NOTE: You may have to sign in with your Apple ID to verify the download.
Hope this helped! Enjoy your music!(:

I Have a Ipod Classic that all my music is on. After my previous computer crashed I have not had any of my music able to be transfered to the new computer from the Ipod. Is there a way to do this

Unfortunately, unless you have a backup and can restore the iTunes library to the new computer, you are stuck with the current state of the iPod. This is one of those things that makes doing backups so important.
Unless your music is all purchased from iTunes (not from your own CD's that you imported into iTunes and then downloaded to the iPod), you will be able to re-download all your iTunes store music back to the iPod when you install iTunes on the new computer. When you first attach the iPod to the new computer and new iTunes the first time it will tell you that this iPod is synced with another iTunes library and let you initialize the iPod (which will erase everything on the iPod - so don't do this unless you don't care about the stuff on the iPod now).
I've seen 3rd party apps in the past that will let you copy music/content from iPod to computer and bypass iTunes, but not sure if they still exist as this was several years ago.
good luck

My computer crashed with all my itunes files. I was able to get some off and transfer them to another computer. I am afraid to sync my ipod to the new computer becaused I do not want to loose all of my playlists and other music. Will this happen?

To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

HT1386 My old computer crashed and I can't sync new songs from my new computer to my IPod without erasing all of the existing content on the IPod. Can new songs be added without erasing?

My old computer crashed and I can't sync new songs from my new computer to my IPod without erasing all of the existing content on the IPod. Can new songs be added without erasing?

Yes by:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
However, you can make this computer the syncing computer by:
- Transering iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music
- For synced photos you need a program like TouchCopy or PhoneView. The do music too.
- After everything is on the computer connect the iPod to the computer and make a backupo by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps, music, synced photos.

HT1364 I got a new computer and my IPOD will not sync with the new computer? what am I doing wrong....thanks

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.

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????

I originally synced my iPOD to my PC in April 2011. I purchased a new computer but my iPOD will not sync to it because it is synced to the old PC. I do not want to erase my iPOD to sync with the new PC because I have loaded alot of music from CD's to it. HELP!

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.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
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.
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

Problems in compatibility of iPod radio remote with iPod classic 160 GB

Hi all,
I have just bought a iPod classic 160 GB and want to buy a iPod radio remote as well. However, after I have done my research, I find the radio remote is not compatible with iPod classic perfectly…
Do you think it is a good idea for me to wait a new radio remote (maybe) or later Apple will release update?
Thanks

I use my Radio Remote with a Classic; it does everything that it had with my 5G-Video EXCEPT it will not allow me to set radio stations, either with the Radio Remote's control or the iPod's control.
I have spoken with an iPod specialist (Apple Care) and according to him Apple has acknowleged less than 100% compatibility/functionality with the Radio Remote and the Classics. One of the reasons, he stated, was that several 5G-Video iPods were "getting fried" when the Remote was not fully connected to the docking-port. So Apple has decided to reengineer the port [for better a connection, I gather]. What puzzles me the most about the new generation of iPods is why they were rolled out without warning customers that their Car-Charger, Video Player, dock, AV Cable, or APPLE'S OWN Remote will not play nice with each other!
This go around, it's find out the hard way.

HT1351 We had 2 computers: his itunes library on one, and mine on the other. We got rid of both of those and got a new computer. I put music on the new computer. My ipod songs are not on itunes. Will I erase them if I sync? How do I add new music?

New playlists freezing on iPod classic. Old playlists are fine.

I recently invested a lot of time putting together two new playlist for the iPod classic that I use for muzak in my shop. The music on these playlists is pretty much new to the iPod. It is mostly from records that I have copied to .mp3. My iPod is an older 30gb model with fully updated software. The playlists that I've put together in the past seem to work fine with only an occasional freeze (maybe once a month). When the iPod freezes I do a reset and all seems fine. These are long playlists with 24hrs of music minimum and they play for at least 8 hours every day. The problem is that the new playlists seem to freeze up every ten minutes or so. I've since given up using them until I figure out what's wrong. I've made two regular playlists and two smart playlists based on them. Both types freeze up constantly.
Again, the older playlists seem to work just fine. By "older" I mean, I put them together a couple of years ago and have been adding music since, with no added problems. Only the playlists that I've created in the last couple of weeks seem to be having this problem. There is nothing different about the way I've gone about putting the lists together. The file formats and bit rates are all the same. The songs that freeze the new playlists work fine in the old playlists and they play just fine on their own and in iTunes. For example, just this morning, five songs into starting the "Lounge" playlist the **** thing froze. The song was something by Bobby Darin. I reset the iPod and scrolled to that particular song . . . it played just fine. So, why are my new playlists causing this problem?
I'm hoping someone might have the answer. I realize that the iPod is quite old and it does get a lot of use so perhaps it's time for a new one . . . but I'd like to keep using it if possible.
If any further information is needed I'd be happy to give it.

Click on the triangle next to the App Store on the menu bar in the iTunes Store. Third item down is iPod Games. That's were you'll find games that will work on your iPod. Nothing in the category list will work on the Classic. iPhone and Touch only.
Best of luck.

Can i transfer ipod touch content to a new computer via the ipod touch

can i transfer ipod touch content to a new computer via the ipod?

Yes.
But first, with iTunes open in the menu bar click Store > Authorize This Computer.
Then from the iTunes menu bar click File > Transfer Purchases From...
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
You don't need third party software to do this for iTunes purchases.
