New computer with windows 7! help syncing music!

i have never had a problem syncing music to my 5310 express music phone before. Just plug the darn thing in and sync straight from windows media player. I have a new laptop with windows 7 now, and it won't recognize my phone as a syncable device. I am using the nokia data cord, and the phone is showing up in devices and printers, but as seperate drivers. Its driving me nuts! how can i get the computer to recognize the phone as an mp3 player? please help me!

So you have stuff on your iPod that right now does not also exist on the computer? If so, you need a way to move the stuff off the iPod onto the computer, correct?
If so...

    I agree- I am having the exact same issue- No matter hpw I try to export and import from the old to the new computers,
    You don't need to import/export anything.
    Simply copy the entire /Music/iTunes folder from old computer to /Music on new computer.
    On new computer, open iTunes.
    Voila! Everything is the same as old computer.

    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

  • HT1386 I have a new computer with windows 8.1.  I want to add the 52 Gb of music now on my old ipod to itunes on the computer.  I don't want to wipe out the files on the ipod by syncing to the new computer which has no music files on it yet!  How can I do

    Apparently I wasn't clear.  The music on my ipod is but a subset of all the music on my external hard drives.  I want to import only the songs and playlists from my existing ipod into the itunes library on my new computer, which currently has no music or playlists.  How can I do this?

  • How can I transfer my music from my iPod (4G Touch) to a new computer with windows 7?

    Help.  My old computer crashed and all my music from my CDs is still on my iPod but I need to get it into itunes onmy new computer with windows 7.  I have found a number of procedures online that apparently work for earlier versions of windows but i can't figure them out for windows 7.  Any suggestions from folks who have solved this proble would be appreciated.

    - Connect the iPod to the computer and transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - To transfer other music you will nee a third-party program like those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - If you have synced photos then you will have to use a paid program like TouchCopy or PhoneView. Those also do music
    - Then connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note that the backup does not contain synced media like app and music.

  • I cant download new music to my ipod.  I am now using a new computer with Windows 8.

    I cant download new music to my ipod.  I am now using a new computer with Windows 8.  Itunes is now on the new computer.  New songs apear there and will play on the computer.

    I plugged my ipod into the computer, it "interacted" briefly, but when finished, the new songs were not on the ipod.  (It is an older ipod I have had for years).  I just read on a different post how to access the latest itunes program update.  I did that, then plugged the ipod into the computer again.  The ipod is now real busy interacting with the computer a lot longer.  Maybe that fixed it.  I will let you know after it is finished.  Thanks for the help!

  • I tried to authorize a new computer with windows 8. Per iTunes Help,there should be an "authorize computer" section on the iTunes store menu. I only have two computers authorized so I know another one is possible. Suggestions?

    I tried to authorize a new computer with Windows 8 for my iTunes acct.  Per iTunes Help, there is an "authorize computer" prompt in the menu selection on iTunes store website. I can find no such listing.  I have two computers linked to my account so I know that adding another one would be ok.  Any suggestions?

    Press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer.

    You should probably just download the trial version of pse 12 and see if you can live with it.
    Download a free trial or buy Adobe products | Adobe downloads
    That being said, have you tried to install pse 1 on your computer?
    How much free space is on your hard drive?
    Do you have Internet Explorer 10 or 11?
    Pse 1 can run on windows 7 x64, provided certain conditions are met.

  • HT1369 Brand new computer with Windows 8.1 will not sync with iPod Classic 120G.  Windows does not recognize anything but iPod Touch?  Is there a simple sloution?

    Brand new computer with Windows 8.1 will not sync to iPod Classic 120G.  Windows does not recognize anything but iPod Touch?  Is there a simple solution.  Diagnostics have run and failed to point to a fix.

    Might be worth tearing down the whole iTunes install and starting over...
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • I need to move my thunderbird email from an old XP to a new computer with windows 7. I have my UserName but not a password

    I do not know how to move my T B email account from my old XP system to my new computer with Windows 7. I know my user name but do not know my pass word for the T B account

    All you normally need to do is copy the entire iTunes folder from User's Music on one computer into User's Music on the other. You can use a network share or an external drive to help with the move. Move the library before installing iTunes.
    See this migrate iTunes library post for more details and strategies for when the library isn't in the usual layout.

  • I just bought a new computer with Windows 7 . How do I start a new account?

    I bought a new computer with Windows 7. I installed itunes, and I downloaded some podcasts. When I try to sync, it begins syncing and then stops.
    Any suggestions?
    Also - is there a way to upload my music from my ipod onto my new itunes?
    Thank you.

    The easiest thing to do is backup your old computer with an external hard drive. Then import all of your files from the external hard drive to the new computer. I just did this about two months ago myself. The biggest problem I had was that it did not keep any of my playlists that I had spent many years developing. However, there is a supposed way to be able to keep the playlists if you do your research on this website (which I did not do first, only after the fact) and follow the steps they guide you with.

  • I bought a new computer with Windows 8. I downloaded I Tunes. How do I transfer the I Tunes library from my I pod ?

    I bought a new computer with Windows 8. I downloaded I Tunes to it. How do I transfer my I Tunes Library from my I POD to the new computer?

    If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
    1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
    2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
    3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
    If you didn't purchase them through Itunes, then you'll have to download software that will strip the songs from your iPod. And here is a guide about how to transfer iPod music back to computer. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.
