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?

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.

I have an older Ipod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new Ipod Touch and cannot be updated. Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one?

I have an older iPod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new iPod Touch and Itunes cannot be updated. Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one? It is my understanding that the music cannot be saved onto my new iTunes, b/c I did not have iCloud. I have over 2,000 songs I just cannot part with. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help some how!! THANKS!

I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

I have bought a new ipod touch and when i went to sync my music library on to it only a few songs went over, the ones that didnt had a ! next to them. I had no problem when using my last ipod touch but i was using a pc at the time not a mac though.

Hi there,
This usually meas that iTunes can't find the original files. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for some tips on locating that lost media.

HT2731 my oldest daughter recently bought a new ipod touch and gave her old one to her brother. I need to know how to unlink the old ipod from her account without losing all the music and games on it. He would like to have his own account.

My oldest daughter recently bought a new ipod touch and gave her old one to her brother. How do I unlink his ipod from her account and set up his own without losing the music and apps already on it?

Connect it to his iTunes library and set it up as a new device. You should be prompted to Erase and Sync the iPod if his iTunes library is separate from hers.
Or head to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase all Content and Settings.

An unknown error occurred -54 in itunes this happened after i'd bought new iPod touch and synced it to my iTunes can you not have two iPods on iTunes account??

Please help i bought a new ipod touch and synced it to my itunes account so i had both ipod touch's on it and now i have an error flashing at me and i don't know what to do??

== Error -54 ==
From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Some of the old codes still apply to OSX although there is no formal list of OSX error codes.)
First, try simply restarting your computer.

i just baught a new ipod touch and synched it to my old computer to get the music off it but when i synched it to my new computer it wants to delete all the music on it that wasnt baught through itunes....how do i keep my cd's and stuff that are on the ipod now and put it onto my new computer?

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

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.

I have a new ipod touch and it says choose to set up as a new ipod touch or restore from a backup. If I restore from backup will my old ipod continue to be synced as before?

I have a new ipod touch and it says choose to set up as a new ipod touch or restore from a backup. If I choose restore from a backup will my old ipod continue to maintain the ability to be synced on my same account?

Yes. It will not effect your other iPod.
However. change the name of the newer iPod if necessary to avoid confusion if the second one is named the same as the first
iTunes: How to rename your device

Hard drive crashed and has been fixed/replaced, now I have new ipod, log in on itunes, and my library of songs is gone, although I can still see them in my purchase history. How can I get those songs back!?

My computer has crashed several times since I bought my first ipod in 2005. Recently, it crashed so badly that my fella who fixed it just wiped everything off it and reinstalled things. I have a new ipod now and just got my computer back. I log in to itunes, register my ipod, and, its bad enough that everytime my computer crashes and is fixed that itunes thinks I am connecting yet another computer to my account (it believes I have four computers/devices but I have only ever had one ipod and one computer simultaneously),. but on top of that, all my songs listed in my purchase history are not in my library. Hundreds of songs.
How can I download them again? I was told in the Apple Store to deauthorize the computer and reauthorize it and it should begin downloading my previous purchases into my library. I tried that, but to no avail.
Help anyone?

It is the users responsibility to maintain a backup of their files.
If you have failed to keep a backup, that is not good.
If the content is on your iDevice and it was purchased via iTunes, connect the device (DO NOT SYNC) then select File > Transfer Purchases.
If the content is on the device but was not purchased via iTunes, you're out of luck mostly. Do a google search, you can find utilities that will allow you to extract the content.
If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, there is an option to redownload previously purchased iTunes content. To do this, in iTunes select Purchased, then at the bottom select Download Previously Purchased. There are options for Music, Apps, and iBooks. Select the "Not in My Library" option and download what you want.
