New Computer Old Touch

My old computer died. It had my library on it. All is lost there, but my touch has most of what I like any way. Is it possible to move everything from my touch to the new computer, including music and pics? I've tried the Apple tech route and didn't get any where.
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the discussions,
See this thread for possible ways: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
Your apps and 3rd party data can be transferred and backed up manually: Disable autosync in itunes, make sure that your new computer is authorized. Connect your ipod, right click onit in the device list and choose "transfer purchases" Apps and purchased content from the Store will be copied over. Back up the same way choosing "backup". Make sure to have at least one contact and event set upon your computer to be able to merge contacts and calendars after the first sync. All media will be removed from your phone during the first sync, restore it from the manual backup afterwards. Music you didn't buy in itunes is one way only, as already mentioned.

  • Trying to reload adobe 10 and 7 on new computer. old one crashed. shows i need a serial number

    purchased adobe 10 and 7 -- 2012 and 2013 -- trying to install on new computer. old one crashed. shows i need serial number. where do i get it. only have 6 discs.

    Adobe is a company... what does "Adobe 10" and "Adobe 7" mean?
    If you bought those on disc I don't think they are part of the Cloud
    The serial number is usually on a sticker on the disc holder inside the box
    If you lost your serial number check https://www.adobe.com/account.html for your registered products

  • Need to transfer Acrobat Pro to new computer, old computer crashed so I can't disable/uninstall.  What do I do?

    Need to transfer Acrobat Pro to new computer, old computer crashed so I can't disable/uninstall.  What do I do?

    Install it on the new machine, if you have run out of Activations then you will probably need to contact Adobe and explain what happened as far as the old computer crash and burning.

  • New computer/old ipod - how do I update my libray from my ipod?

    new computer/old ipod - how do I update my libray from my ipod? the music wasn't transfered from cd's, shared music files...no purchased from the ipod store.

    The ipod is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything on your new computer.

  • I transferred my library to my new computer (old one completely dead!) and the music transferred but not my audio books.  They aren't appearing in my purchased history.  Can anyone help?

    I transferred my library to my new computer (old one dead!) and the music transferred to a new library ok, but not my audiobooks.  My purchased history doesn't show any purchasing in this format.  Can anyone help?

    Audiobooks are a one-time only download from the store, so you won't be able to redownload them via the Purchased link. Do you have a copy of them on your iPod or on your backup of your downloads/library ? If not, and if they are still in your country's store, then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • HT1386 New computer, old ipod touch?

    I just got a new computer and I have a first generation touch. How do I transfer the content from my ipod touch to my new computer and itunes?

    The ipod is not a backup device.
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • New Computer Old Ipod Touch

    I got a new computer and recently hooked-up my old Ipod. Unfortunately, only the music I purchased on the Ipod transferred to the new Itunes on the new computer. All of the CD's I had on the Ipod don't transfer. Itunes wants me to update to Ipod Touch software 4.02 but it will cause all the songs on the Ipod to be erased and replaced only with what is in currently in Itunes.
    Is there an easy way to transfer the music or does Apple have my hands tied?

  • New Computer+Old iPod=Problems

    I got an iPod touch about a month ago and synced it with my PowerBook G4. Then, my PowerBook completely crashed and I lost everything on it, so all I really have left are all the files on my iPod. Now I have a new computer, a MacBook Pro, and the only options it allows me when I plug in my iPod are to either delete everything existing on my old iPod and sync to my new iTunes (which means I would effectively lose everything I had left from my old computer) or it could add new files to my iPod, but I cannot transfer the songs already on my iPod to my new computer. I understand why they do this to avoid illegal file-sharing, but it doesn't seem quite fair when both computers belong to me, and one simply crashed (especially since it was a mac). Any tips on how I can put my old songs on my new computer? I don't want to lose everything!

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    Take a look at iRepo (link).

    Have you tried listing what happened to your Powerbook G4 here? Unless it was a sudden and critical hard disk failure I can't see what could have happened that it is totally unrecoverable.

  • New computer, old ipod applicaion issues

    Hi,
    I think I've seen a similar question before , but can't find it again.
    I can't get some of my applications to download back onto my ipod touch.
    Sequence of events:
    1/ I deleted itunes from old computer and installed on new computer.
    2/Downloaded 3rd party software to sync and install library from ipod touch into itunes on new computer.
    3/library successfully transferred, but I can't get all of my applications and some bought items to appear on ipod.
    I've tried the whole authorise computer thing to no avail.
    Can anyone help?

    2/Downloaded 3rd party software to sync and install library from ipod touch into itunes on new computer.
    You should have just copied \Music\iTunes\ folder from the old computer to the new computer.
    but I can't get all of my applications and some bought items to appear on ipod
    Connect thr iPod touch and select it in iTunes.
    Click the Applications tab across the top.
    Tick the apps you want to install onto the touch.

  • My 40gb can be played but Itunes says it is corrupt.  I want to get the music off the Ipod onto my new computer, old computer died which had all the data on it (crap on my behalf I know)  Anyone know how to do this?

    My hard drive is corrupt even though I can listen to the music on the Ipod.  Itunes says it is corrupt so obviously cannot read it properly.  You can hear the disk reader resetting every few seconds preventing the data recovery.
    We can see the track listings and playlists which we used for our wedding in 2005 and desperately want them back.
    Sadly we lost the hard drive that had Itunes on it with all our music which we dont have a back up of.
    Is there anyway it can be repaired and then we get the music off the Ipod and get it back on a new pc....and back it up of course?!!!

    From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
    They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

  • New Computer, Old Hard Drive?

    Hello. I just upgraded my desktop and in doing so installed my old hard drive as well. My old drive is where my i tunes resided.
    Well, I installed i tunes onto my new computer, essentially creating a new account (I did not copy the old file over) now when I try to synch my i pod I get the following message:
    "The i pod is synched with another i tunes library. An Ipod can be synched with only one library at a time." Then I am given the choice to "erase and synch" or to "transfer purchases"
    What I want to accomplish is to have all of my old music (from previous library) to move to my newly created account along with some new purchases I just made.
    How can I accomplish this?
    Thanks,

    There are a couple of different ways this transfer could be handled.
    1. Backup all your data and files to a different hard drive. When your new MacBook arrives, copy your data from that drive manually. (This may not be an option since you don't have a working computer to backup from.)
    2. Put your current hard drive in an external case and use the Migration Assistant to copy the bits and pieces you choose to the new computer. Or manually drag and drop your files over. The Migration Assistant is normally used if you have an older Mac and you're upgrading and you want to copy all your files over to the new Mac (this can be done from an external hard drive and not just a working Mac). The assistant will ask you what you want to transfer over, users and their files, network settings and/or applications. You can pick and choose between those options and even pick and choose in between different users on the same hard drive (if you have more than one).
    3. Put your current hard drive into the new MacBook. It won't startup correctly, but you could then boot from your Mac OS X install disk that comes with the new MacBook, install Mac OS X as a simple "update" or an "archive and install". Obviously, you don't want to chosoe an "erase and install". And then continue to use your original drive in the new MacBook. This option is probably the most risky. While I've done something similar in the past, I haven't always had the best luck with an "update" over the top of a different build of Mac OS X. An "archive and install" will move your current System folder to a "previous" System folder and install a new System folder. You have the option to keep your user files and network settings if you choose to. Bear in mind, this path does not leave you with a backup of all your files in case something does go wrong and you must erase & install.

  • Moving iTunes Library from iPod mini to new computer (old hard drive dead)

    Hi all, I own a 2nd gen (I believe) iPod mini with all of my music from my iTunes library on it. Last weekend, my computer began freezing/crashing while loading my desktop, and a diagnostic confirmed that the read/write head on my hard drive was bad. I don't currently have the spare cash to send it away to a recovery lab, so I am starting from scratch with a new computer I will be ordering today.
    My question is this--is it going to be possible to transfer the music from my iPod to my new computer? Many of the songs on my iPod are from other sources, during the years that I was not using iTunes, and from what I have read I will only be able to transfer my purchased music. I know there is a way to make my iPod into a hard drive in order to transfer the music to my new computer, but as I said, I cannot even boot up my old machine, and thus cannot access my iTunes library on my HD.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions and advice you may have.
