New itunes, trouble with syncing

My itunes was recently removed from my computer, and im having a little bit of trouble with it. is it possible to put the music from my ipod to my itunes? because its not letting me.

Kim, sorry, but I couldn't get what you are trying to do.
iTunes jargon
RESTORE - to erase all data, ie music, address, video etc in the connected iPod and populate them with factory settings.
Why do we need to do this? When the iPod hardisk filesystem is corrupted and the iTunes cant map the iPod hardisk file structure, to add new data, music, videos etc.
SYNC - The process, where iTunes overrides all data, music, videos in the iPod, with the iTunes Library. So if the iTunes library in your PC is blank, then iTunes will erase your iPod, till blank.
iTunes Library - the folder in your PC/MAC that contains all your data/music/video etc. The iTunes does not treat the iPod as a store, but rather as huge landfill, so you need 3rd party software to recover any data from the iPod back to the PC/MAC.

  • New laptop, new itunes, help with sync.

    I have bought a new laptop.  Downloaded itunes and installed it.  I have hooked up iphone 4 to laptop.  Authorized the compter for itunes.  Seeing its a new laptop and new itunes download, there are no songs in the itunes library.  How do I get all the songs (966) from my iphone to the itunes library? Sync does not do it.

    - Transfer iTunes purchases:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    newer copy
    - 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 iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

  • I'm having trouble with syncing my iPod to my computer.

    I'm having trouble with syncing my iPod. It gets stuck on the last step saying, "Waiting for changes to be applied." It's been doing this for the last half hour. Is there anything I can do to correct this or is am just going to have to restore my iPod?

    You can sync/manually mange iphone with one and only one computer.  If you sync/manually mange to anther, then it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.

    Hello!
    It should be a matter of
    Quiting iTunes first if it's running
    Connecting your external harddrive to your Mac, use the Finder to browse to it
    Find your iTunes folder on the ext HDD and double-click on iTunes Library.itl
    If you have any trouble with this, please let us know.

    how do i get my music off my ipod touch and on to my new itune account with out losing my music

    Transfer the iTunes folder from your old computer to your new computer. It's in your My Music >> iTunes folder. You'll probably need an external hard drive to do this. Make sure you upgrade the old and the new computers to the latest iTunes before transferring your music to the new machines.

  • I reinstalled OS X.  Now my "new" iTunes won't sync with my apps.

    Hi all,
    So... recently my hard drive failed and I had to reinstall the OS (10.4.11). I've downloaded a ton of apps for my iPhone, yet when I try to sync them to my computer, it says that my phone is synced to "another library" (the one that is long gone) and that my only option is to sync the phone to the new iTunes library and lose all of my apps. Anyone have any idea how I can save my applications (and their data) and sync to this new library?

    Strange, but solved.
    After unplugging the phone and plugging it back it in again (3 times), iTunes finally presented a prompt that gave me the option to sync my apps.

  • Can't sync with new iTunes..whe syncing it stays on step 5 "waiting for changes to be applied"

    So I downloaded the new iTunes and iPhone update a couple of days ago since then I have not been able to sync properly.
    -Initially it said that my was over storage so I removed about half of my library.  Which was odd because initially it told me i was 158mb over then I deleted about 10 albums and I was still 32mb over.
    -After I brought it down to under the storage level...I went to sync it, it would go all of the way through then be stuck on the last step and it would say "waiting for changes to be applied" after 5 minutes of that I would get a message that would pop up that says "The iphone could not be synced because the sync failed".
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I've been having the same problem. It would either get stuck at "Waiting for changes to be applied" or "Waiting for items to copy". My last successful sync was on 10/15. Tried a number of times either via wifi or direct connect.
    Solved it in the following fashion:
    Connected the phone to the computer via Lightning cable.
    My phone was set to back-up to iCloud. Changed that setting to back up to the computer.
    Unchecked the "Sync Music" option under the music tab.
    Hit apply.
    After a wait - the back-up completed and all the music was removed from my phone.
    Once it was done, re-checked "Sync Music" - it got past "Waiting for Changes to be Applied" at this point.

  • New computer + New iTunes Version = No syncing of new purchases!

    A few months back, my husband and I had to purchase a new computer. Once we got the computer up and running, we naturally downloaded iTunes to it so that we could purchase new music to add to both of our iPods (we each have the 30GB iPod w/ video). Previously, we had an older version of iTunes on our laptop and never had an issues downlaoding/purchasing music and importing music form CD's we own. Our iPods always updated and sync just fine.
    However, since the purchase of our new computer and downloading the latest version of iTunes to that new new computer, we have nothing but problems and have been extremely disapointed. We authorized our new computer and I have tried all the listed trouble shooting suggestions and nothing works.
    Mainly, we cannot play any of our songs loaded in from CD's via iTunes any longer and worst of all, if we purchase new music and/or load a new CD in, the iPods will not sync and add the new music!!! This is very frustrating!!!
    The ONLY thing that has worked to get newly purchased or loaded music on to one of our iPods was to "restore" the settings. However, this erased ALL the songs that were loaded on to the iPod before getting our new computer, it erased ALL the playlists we had made, and now we only have about 145 out of the over 850 song we used to have on our iPod. At this time, we have only tried restoring one of our two iPods so that we don't loose everything from both of them!
    Any suggestions as to what we can do to solve our problem would be great. I really just wish I could have my old iTunes version back that used to work great and was fun to use. The new iTunes 7.1.1 has been awful to us. :o(
    P.S. I am not very "technical" when it comes to this computer stuff, so easy to follow, simple instructions are best! Sorry!!!! I am jsut really not good when things change like this after getting used to using it one way for so long! :o(

    Thanks for the tip!!! I will try it out tonight when I get home and hopefully it will work! :o)
    I really appreciate the help!!! Because as you can tell I am not so good at allt his technical computer stuff, I don't even know what kind of Dell I own! Hahaha!
    I only wish I could afford a Mac b/c I'd get one! :o)
    Thanks again!!!

  • I have an old Ipod which I loaded music many years ago. . .I no longer have the itunes which I originally loaded, however, I have a new itune account with songs loaded. . what will happen if I load these songs onto my ipod today?

    I have an older ipod which many years ago I loaded my music from Itunes on another computer. . .that computer crashed. . .I now have a new Itunes account and music loaded on another computer. . I would like to add songs onto my ipod. . .can this be done?

    Not without erasing what is currently on the iPod first, since an iPod can only be synced with one computer/iTunes library at a time.
    A better way to go about it, is to copy everything currently on the iPod to your new iTunes library first.  Then connect it to iTunes and either choose the Erase and Sync option or restore the device to allow it to start syncing with the new library.
    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.
