New Computer help sync with iPod please

Hello I just purchased a new Dell laptop running Windows XP pro. Is there anyway for me to transfer the songs that are on my iPod onto the new computer; I have an old iPod with dock connector with the scroll wheel and touch buttons. If not is there any other good way for me to transfer my songs from my old computer onto my new one?

See if this can help;

TS1368 Attempting to set up new computer to Sync with my Iphone5. Downloaded I tunes but do not find way to authorize this computer or sync

need help getting new computer accepted as ok to use with i tunes & to sync with I phone 5

You should be able to authorise your account via the Store drop-down menu at the top of iTunes- if you are using iTunes on a PC then try pressing Alt-S and the Store menu should appear (or control-B and the menus should show, they are hidden by default on iTunes 11 on PCs) e.g.
If you syncing to that computer for the first time then you may also find this page useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

I bought 2 songs that are in my purchased folder and will play but will not sync to my IPOD. I tried deauthorizing and reauthorizing my computer. But no luck. FYG: All 3 IPODS are under different names on the same computer.. What am I doing wrong ? Thank you

I tried one of the other IPODS under a diffent acct and it says that 100 songs could not be synced because they could not be found but the songs are on the IPOD

ITunes recovery on new computer to sync with iPad

The computer I had my iTunes on died, do I loose content? I have an iPad but I want to get to my "full" iTunes that you use to sync your iPad. Home bass I guess. How can I get that back?

If you don't have a Backup, Time Machine or similar, of your Old Computer...
And your Old Computer has died... Then there's not much you can do to get a " Full " iTunes...
You can transfer purchases and re download purchases to your New Computer though...

How Do I Install I Tunes on a new Computer and sync with Existing ipod?

My desktop crashed and I lost everything including my iTunes. I downloaded iTunes on my new laptop but when I try to sync it with my iPod it says it is already registered to another iTunes and asks me if I want to delete everything off of my iPod to register it. Obviously I don't want to loose all of the songs on my iPod but need to have iTunes to download more songs onto it.

Load new computer's itunes with ipod songs

I want to load iTunes from my ipod onto a different computer than was used to originally create the ipod playlist. Is this a problem?

The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod2PC Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows

iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

Do the Disk Diagnostic as posted by tt2, to check if your iPod Hardisk is in a bad state.
It wont fix your problem, but help us in troubleshooting.

Can't connect to Store or Sync with ipod. All music lost on iPod

Multiple severe problems. Is there any live support anywhere,even if there's a fee? Can't connect to iTunes store on Windows XP, tried to move music to new computer, changed to manual setting to do that, but now, there's no music on the new computer or the iPod and I can't get the music on the library of the old computer to sync with iPod and can't create a backup disc, as I get an unknown error. My 10-year old daughter is in tears. Thanks for any help. Would like to get the music back on the iPod and on the new computer. I authorized it.

There's phone support for iPods and they might be able to help you with iTunes or at least point you in the right direction.

You could go hunting for a fair price on a refurbished or restored Intel-based Mac or MacBook, as most early models of CoreDuo and Core2Duo can run Snow Leopard 10.6.8, and some much more recent.
The Apple Store's Special Deals section that is online has some fairly recent examples of hardware with an OS, original accessories as noted, power cord, and complementary one year coverage. Eligibility for extended AppleCare plans are noted & may be available for various items in the store. Subject to availability. Refurbished. Like new. The price difference can be about the same as the additional two year AppleCare plan may cost, so get that too.
Third party repaired restored or available through other channels vary in quality, quantity, condition, and may be lacking in some or most original accessories; they should include basic hardware as originally equipped and have the boot-install software disc set as intended for that build model & year specification, included.
Auction sites rarely have that much of a kit together, w/ missing discs, scruffy, extra fees, etc. On the other hand, companies that restore and repair Macs for a living and are authorized Apple service centers may have something, if you aren't in the market for something holiday new or really quick. Older models if reasonably refurbished can still shine years later.
Hopefully this helps somewhat.
Good luck & happy computing!

You can only sync with one computer/iTunes library. To make the new computer the syncing computer:

TS1424 Just purchased Beatles' Tomorrow Never Knows. But some (four) of the cuts did not download and can't be played or synced with ipod. Any help?

Just purchased Beatles' Tomorrow Never Knows. But a few of the cuts did not download properly and can't be played or synced with ipod. Any help?

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

I want to download the new software on my ipod touch on a different computer to what i normally use, but it keeps telling me i will loose all my downloads. Is it possible to make this computer the main computer to sync my ipod?

I want to download the new software on my ipod touch, on a different computer to what i usually sync my ipod to, and it keeps telling me i will lose all my downloads. i it possible to download the update on this computre, without deleting my information, and making this computer the main computer to sync my ipod to?

A manual backup will help in your situation.
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/HT4946
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.

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
Apps can be downloaded again for free, in some countries music as well: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
