  • New Ipod's and Old iTunes?!?

    I am going to buy a new iPOD and sell my old one. Will my iTunes songs transfer to the new iPOD?!? Will I be able to put the songs on my iTunes to my new iPod?

    shouldn't be a problem. Just drag and drop on the the iPod. Just make sure the iTunes is updated to the latest version. I think my new one had to have the latest version.

  • New ipod, but running old itunes....

    Hello!
    wondered if anybody could help with my problem. I had trouble a while back updating to itunes 7, basically it wouldn't open or run on my pc. so I reverted back to my older itunes and everything has been fine, running 4 ipods on the pc.
    But my brother has just got a new ipod and it says it needs itunes 7 or newer to be able to run and it can't dock in my itunes 6.0.5.02. I updated to a newer itunes just to see if it would run on my pc but it still doesnt.
    Can anybody see a way around this?
    cheers for any help, sam.

    thanks for your reply, I decided to download and try media monkey before reading your reply, my brothers happy to use this and the rest of us can carry on with the older itunes.
    but thanks for your help anyway

  • New iPod Touch 64, Old iTunes Data

    I have a new 64 Gb iPod Touch on its way, and want to get it loaded with all my existing music, movies, audio books, purchased music, photos etc that's now in iTunes and my older iPod Touch 32 Gb.
    Is this process as easy as just syncing the new unit and giving it a different name?

    Hi:
    Is this process as easy as just syncing the new unit and giving it a different name?
    Yes, it is.

  • I think iTunes thinks my new iPod is my old iPod and it's keeping me from syncing apps

    I recently set up an iPod 5 to replace my iPod 4.  The new one was my wife's that she never used and let me have it.  So I restored it, tied it to my account, and I've been using it for a couple of weeks and a few days ago downloaded Tiny Death Star, which I've been enjoying.
    However, ever since I downloaded it I have been unable to sync with my computer.  I repeatedly get the "This iPod is no longer authorized for this app, do you want to authorize", error in iTunes then Iclick yes, then it asks over again and I can't sync anything else.  So I deleted the game(sigh...) and everything worked fine again -- but when I try to "push" the app to my iPod from iTunes, it tells me that "tinydeathstar" is not compatible with my iPod -- which is absolutely incorrect.  It is incompatible with my iPod 4 (there's some compass thing it needs?) but I downloaded it on my iPod 5 and it runs like a champ.
    Tiny Death Star is the only app I have that won't run on an iPod 4.  I think that's the issue with the syncing and the pushing -- iTunes thinks that my new iPod is the old iPod, and won't "allow" an app it thinks it is incompatible.  To remedy this I've tried 1) doing everything from this support article : (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389), 2) restoring my iPod to factory settings 3) removing both devices from my account and re-adding only the new one and finally 4) uninstalling itunes and manually removing a bunch of registry stuff.
    None of that worked.
    So it isn't a huge issue for now.  I just won't be able to sync my iPod for however long I play this game.  But eventually more and more apps won't be compatible with an iPod 4 and I'll be in a pickle.  I might have to rebuild my computer (sigh) just to get itunes to work again.
    So, other than rebuilding my computer, any ideas?

    The app seems to be the tiny death star .  try reset the sync folder and try it on another account (create one if you dont have one). mac: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1627; http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4600 and for windows: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692. tell me what happens.

  • How can I transfer the music in my old Ipod classic to a new Ipod, not only the Itunes purchases?

    How can I transfer the music in my old Ipod classic to a new Ipod (not only the Itunes purchases)?

    You'll need to copy the music from the old iPod back to iTunes first before you can transfer it to your new iPod. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

    Don't know why you would.
    You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like.

    Your Tag states you are running OS X 10.5.8 = Leopard... If this is the case... read on...
    The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
    It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
    Do this first...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

    After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.

  • ITunes thinks my new iPod is my old one

    Brand new iPod vid. Xmas present. Very happy.
    Installed software, plugged into iMac, songs update onto the iPod flawlessly UNTIL a message informs me some songs have not been updated, because my iPod software is out of date... please visit apple.com/ipod etc etc.
    What the ****? How is it out of date. It's brand new. What's more: the newly installed iPod updater can't see any ipod, even though its mounted on the desktop. AND: in iTunes, under the iPod options, there are no options for videos or photos, and lo-and-behold, there are no photos or videos on my ipod.
    Up until yesterday I used my 3rd Gen 20gb ipod. Does my iMac think I still am using that old one? Is that why it wont stick my photos/vids onto my new one? And how can I update my iPod software if the updater wont see it?
    Rebooted, repaired permissions, reset ipod, shutdown itunes and restarted it, nothing works. Do i need to delete some file that is perhaps telling itunes that the ipod is a 3rd gen? Somebody help i want to watch videos on it!!!
    I have run software update. Nothing to update from software update. I've just plugged it into a PC, it works flawlessly, iTunes displays all the correct options for videos and pictures and also iPod Updater works too, I restored the iPod and then returned to my iMac hoping for a change.... Nada. Still no video/photo options in iTunes, updater shouts at me to plug in an iPod. What the **** is going on. I even tried dragging my iTunes to the Trash and reinstalling. No change.
    I'm pretty sure I'm not missing any iPod updater. I've installed it from the iPod cd, run software update, and manually downloaded the latest version (11-17 right?). And it still won't see my ipod. And itunes still thinks my ipod is out of date (cos im pretty sure it thinks its my old ipod!!!).
    Believe it or not I'm right to some extent. Check this out. When you plug an iPod in and go to the iPod options in iTunes, in the top right hand corner of the window it informs you in pale grey text what version of software is on your current iPod. Mine says 6.0.
    6.0!!!!!!!!!!!
    Version 6.0 of a 5th gen VIDEO iPod. I think not you scumbag computer.
    My 3rd gen was I believe on software version 2.3, so i have no idea why it says 6.0, but i know that my 5th gen definitely shouldnt be on 6.0. But perhaps itunes does in fact believe that this is my old ipod and is therefore refusing to put videos and pictures on it. How the **** do i convince it otherwise?
    This is fairly crap from Apple i must say. I cant be the only person in the world to plug in a 5th gen after using a 3rd gen so why all the hassle? Its ridiculous and my ENTIRE christmas is ruined......
    Seriously tho, somebody help me

    I have had the same problem. I followed the directions I see here to delete ipod.plist file in preferences and then reconnect ipod. I did this and I still can't get the video preference to show up. Is there something else I need to do? When I try to do the ipod update it still says that my ipod has an old os on it which is the os that is on my 3rd generation ipod. I really am very frustrated. I did everything that you did and feel like you do. I just still can't get it to show video preference. Any help would be much appreciated. I'm losing my mind!!! Thanks!

  • Transfering music from either my ipod or from old itunes to new computer

    i just got a new MacBook Pro with itunes i would like to get my songs from my old itunes on my other computer to this one but i dont think there is any easy way to do it. if that doesnt work i would like to get my music off my ipod to my new itunes

    This doesn't appear to be an option anymore. 
    I can check songs but there's no transfer button -
    Syncing doesn't transfer songs in that direction -
    You can add to a playlist but the song still isn't there.
