New Laptop - No Sync?

I used Windows Easy Transfer to move everything from my old laptop to my new. Now, I can't sync my music with my new laptop, mainly because I haven't clicked the button to allow it to sync. Reason? It says it will delete all the music and playlists currently on my iPhone. For whatever reason my playlists didn't transfer over to my new laptop (or I didn't do something to make them reappear) and would like to not have to start over with everything. Does Apple have a solution to the old computer/new computer conundrum?

Hmmm....what you say makes sense, but then again I said in my first post that I used Windows Easy Transfer, which transfers everything - videos, music, old Word documents I forgot I had, programs that ran on my old computer, buried files of saved Yahoo messenger conversations, EVERYTHING. It basically took an image of my old computer's hard drive and put it on my new laptop. So, those iTunes folders, large and small, are all there. What I did find, there is a new folder called iTunes Media which is where iTunes wants to put any new music or videos or whatever. Previously, all my music was in a folder called iTunes Music. But this new folder designation should not be the issue either. But looking at that top folder, I see that there are many iTunes library database files, labeled iTunes Library (1), iTunes Library (2), iTunes Library (3) and iTunes Library (damaged). I suspect I could utilize one of the three database files, but I don't know which one or how to go about utilizing them. Also wonder about what happens to any changes I have made since the transition to my new laptop.

  • I synced firefox information to the servers and exchanged my laptop. How can I get the new laptop to sync with my firefox data?

    I want to get my firefox sync data on my laptop. However, I haven't paired this device, I just have my information on the firefox servers under my account. How can I get the sync info on this new laptop?

    If you don't have a 2nd device available which is already setup with your Sync account, pairing can't be done.
    In order to set up a '''new device''' when you can't "pair", you need three things; the user account name ''(email address used)'', the password for the account, and the '''Sync Key'''.
    If you didn't make a copy of the Sync Key as prompted at the end of the Sync set up process, you can't successfully setup a new device and won't be able to recover your data.

  • I got new laptop and synced my itouchwith it and now everything is deleted !! PLEASE HELP

    So my laptop I had for 3/4 years I got with my itouch got crashed not fixable and I downloaded itunes on my new laptop when i attached my itouch for charging and it automatically synced (might have pressed something) and now all my songs , apps and everything is deleted. Only songs purchased in itunes are there. Even movies is deleted so I went to account and on itunes all my apps are visible but it won't go on my ipod .And apps i had and used regularly won't download from store saying it needs IOS 5. I had over 500 songs from my cds and stuff . Is there any way to recover !! Any help would be appreciated.

    Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • HT1473 My daughter has a new computer, how do we transfer her ipod music to the new laptop.  Sync seems to want to delete it all

    Sorry the question was in the title.  A new laptop for christmas...I thought by downloading itunes to it when I plugged in the ipod it would just download the music to het itunes library as they are on the same apple id.  does not seem to be the case....is there an easy way or not?  It is a compaq CQ58 and has all the itunes up to date.

    Connect the new iPod to the computer she used to sync with the old iPod. The restore from backup. The apps and music have to be in the iTunes library to be restored to the iPod.
    For how to restore see the restoring topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    If the computer does not have her iTunes purchases they can be redownloaded by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • New laptop not syncing new purchases

    I just bought a new dell laptop. I have authorized the itunes library on my new lap(it's my 3rd pc that's authorized) and it has my purchased songs, but now I've purchased some new ones, and the new songs won't sync.
    Any ideas?
    I've bought some new cd's, and they sync just fine, but not the purchases off itunes web site.
    Thx.

    Try playing one or more of the Purchased Songs within iTunes. That usually gets the process working after a computer authorization.
    Then re-sync your iPod.
    Best of Luck

    i have a i tunes account but laptop is broken . how do i sync my ipod to a new laptop?

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software to copy over. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

  • Old laptop crashed, tried syncing it into new one but half my songs disappeared. No I got a new ipod and another new laptop. How do i get back my lost songs and make sure it all ends up on my new ipod?

    I had a laptop that had over 2,000 songs in my library but it crashed and my ipod could only hold a little over 1000. Later, when I got my new laptop, I synced my ipod to it only to have all my songs disappear. I did the itunes media folder thing and only got about half of my songs back (some from CDs, some from the itunes store and some from amazon downloads). I hadto get a newhard drive for my laptop and now i have a new ipod. So how can I getback my old songs and then get ALL of my songs tranfered to my new ipod?

    Hello Chris,
    Thanks for your answer. I was hoping for an easier answer. Too bad there is no drag and drop solution, it would have been much easier.
    Thanks for answering so fast.
    Bye.

  • 2-3 old ipod touch is no longer syncing to itunes library, which was recently moved to new laptop.

    Recently moved my library of music, audiobooks, and podcasts to new laptop with Windows 8, at which time I upgraded my itunes software as well. My 2-3 year old ipod touch is no longer syncing properly. Audiobooks and podcasts are fine (after much effort), but all of two songs out of an extensive music library are the only ones syncing. I see them in my library on the new computer and have managed to sync them to my iphone 5 as well. Ipod touch appears to have ample file storage space left. What gives? Is the i-pod touch already useless with the latest Itunes software? Operator error? Hardware problem? I don't know what to think. Have been using ipods for years without this issue.

    Salut, et un accueil chaleureux aux forums!
    Not certain I can help, but...

    You won't lose them, but they will be erased from the phone then put back on (so it may take a while).
