New laptop, sync problem! HELP!

Hello!! A few weeks ago, my old laptop suddenly got a virus, and it was quickly corrupted and destroyed. I had no time to back up my songs on iTunes! I now have a new laptop, but when I plugged my iPod touch into it, it only transferred the PURCHASED songs!! I really need to know if there is any possible way to transfer ALL the songs onto iTunes. If not, will the songs get deleted from my iPod touch if I sync it to my laptop? I really hope not, since I no longer have the CDs that I imported the music from years ago. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you!

The purpose of a backup is to ALWAYS have a copy of your important info/pics/music/docs/etc in case something unexpected happens.
You do not begin to backup when you are having problems. Computers/hard drives do not always announce their pending failure. This why you maintain a backup.
You can try a search for a third party program at your risk (this is not supported nor endorsed by Apple).

  • IPad syncing problem - HELP!

    iPad sync problem - HELP!  I keep getting this message "...cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional ...space needed)"  and yet I seem to have plenty of space on the iPad.  This just started today.  I even tried deleting some things to make even more room, but it didn't help.  Any ideas??? 
    I was thinking of restoring, but I've never done it...  should I?

  • New Outlook sync problem after update!!!

    I had the 'original' Outlook sync problem, which went away after the iTunes update to 7.3.1, but now, after the iPhone update last night, I have an entirely NEW Outlook sync problem!!
    When I sync the iPhone, right when it gets to the 'syncing contacts' part (that you see in the top box/window in iTunes) I get an error message that I haven't seen before. It says "AppleMobileDeviceHelper has encountered a problem and needs to close..." and it gives me the option to send an error report. I dismiss the error box, and the sync process hangs, and iTunes becomes unresponsive.
    If I open Outlook, the two Apple sync oblects are still enabled, and get no error message. If I re-open iTunes and try to sync again, it only syncs iTunes content, and never even tries to sync my contacts or calendar.
    Anyone having anything similar since last night? The only thing different is the iPhone firmware update.

    I just cancelled the sync by using the slider. I didn't realize I could do that. The phone seems fine. I may try it again and see what happens.

  • HT1349 I have recently moved home from the UK to the Cayman Islands, my PC in the UK has been destroyed as it was 240v but my ipod will now not sync with itunes on my new laptop can anybody help as my ipod holds all my music files

    Now with a little more space, I believe this to be a simple fix just not for me! I have recently moved from the UK to the Cayman Islands and there lies the problem,  'voltage'  ....
    My UK PC was 240v and has now been destroyed so when I secured a new laptop 110v and downloaded itunes I was told by 'itunes' as my ipod was linked to another PC it would not/could not sync to my ipod. As the ipod holds ALL my music files this is a major drag. Can anybody tell me how to unassociate my ipod with my old PC so I can sync with my new laptop.
    Regards Rob

    All computers sold in the past 10 years are univeral insofar as voltage is concerned, so it may have been destroyed but not because of voltage. The right thing to do is to restore the backup that you must have made of your old PC to your new laptop. Then you will not lose anything when you sync the phone.

  • New laptop, sync doesnt work

    Hi All, I just bought a new laptop and now when I try to sync between my Curve and Outlook (Calendar, Address Book and Tasks) nothing happens.  It says "processing" for a split second then goes back to the Desktop Manager.  The main difference between this new laptop and my old is that it's Vista 64 and the old one was 32.  I have the latest software on my phone as well as the Desktop Manager.  Sync is configured, I've tried a new mail account, I've reset the phone, I've even wiped the memory like someone here had suggested, stillno luck.  
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
    Michelle 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Lucky for me Crackberry.com exists.  Found the problem:
    Make sure you've got the "synchronize organizer data" box checked on the Sync menu.  

  • My old computer crashed, new laptop, syncing my ipod so that it doesn't delete all my songs from my ipod?

    My old computer recently crashed, and so i've bought this windows laptop (which i'm using now).
    I have an iPod classic (latest model) and am fearful that if I retrieve my account on my new laptop, it'll delete all the information, 1,3000 songs and multiple videos from my iTunes, leaving my iPod with barely nothing. If this happens, i'll probably end of selling it, becuase this was not my fault, i love my music and i've not the time to replenish my library with that many songs, which has taken me a year to compile.
    Can anyone help me, if so I would much appreciate it?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.

  • I can't download previous purchases on my new laptop, can anyone help?

    Basically got a new laptop and went on iTunes to find them and they say 'purchased' but there is no download link or cloud anywhere.

    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer or the backup of the old computer to the new computer.

  • New syncing problem - HELP!

    Suddenly, I cannot sync my nano. Didn't have a problem before. Have turned firewall off and back on. iTunes works fine until I plug in to sync, and then it crashes. Message: "iTunes has stopped working" immediately appears when I try to sync. Very aggravating. BTW - have upgraded to the latest version of iTunes. Am using HP laptop using Vista Home. Thanks for any help.

    BTW - have upgraded to the latest version of iTunes.
    Let's doublecheck that. In iTunes, go "Help > About iTunes" and wait for the version number to scroll up from the bottom of the screen.
    Does it say 10.1.0.54 ? If so, we need to update you to 10.1.0.56 .
    10.1.0.56 won't appear for you in Apple Software Update for Windows if you already have 10.1.0.54 installed. So you'll need to get the installer from the Apple website as per the following document:
    [iTunes 10.1 for Windows: iTunes may stop working and need to quit while importing or syncing audio|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3591]

  • Audio Going out of sync problem, Help Please

    Hey all.
    So I have just filmed about 3 hours worth of gaming videos using XSplit recorder,
    in a mp4 format, and when I played it back using VLC it all seemed fine.
    However I went to import it into premiere to start editing it I noticed the sound was completly out.
    I have recorded some audio and video times listed below to show the sync times and how they are out.
    Video          Audio
    00:41:24  -  00:44:09
    47:46:25  -  50:11:12
    As you can see it gets worse over time.
    I could manualy do a time shift on the audio to align it but thats a lot of work as I have multiple clips to edit and would like a proper fix for it
    I did some quick research and found one fix was to make the sequence settings the same as the video file, but that didnt work for me.
    also trying to conform the video file also didnt help me out.
    Anyone have any other ideas?
    Thanks In Advance
    Thomas

    >gaming videos using XSplit recorder
    That is a new one to me, but other messages concering screen capture software discusses LOTS of editing problems
    Some examples... (may or may not help, but at least some ideas based on other problems)
    These are for Premiere Elements, but may help with PPro

  • Hotmail sync problems - HELP! (Nokia N8 - Anna )

    Hi
    I got a problem with my hotmail sync.
    I deleted my account without wanting to, and now i want it back - before I could sync all my folders in the hotmail account, but when i'm trying to make a new account it only syncs the inbox/sent maps? The other maps doesn't even appear on the screen when I go to maps.
    How do I set up the account in a way so all maps are sync?
    Please help!

    I had two hotmail accounts on my nokia c7. one of them stopped to synchronize. I deleted it and I tryed to reconfigure again but it will not let me. I did a soft reset, a hard reset, installed all updates (anna), but still does not leave me. I put the sim in another nokia c7 and let me set up the account correctly. ¿¿¿¿¿¿????????¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿????????????¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿?​???????????
    In nokia care they told me to delete the account in messaging web, before configuring the account in my phone, but it did not work

  • New 4s syncing problem.

    I purchased a new iPhone 4s about 2 weeks ago. I was unable to sync the phone originally (didn't need to) because my laptop had crashed and was being repaired. When I now attach the phone, it tells me that the phone cannot be connected due to a lack of pairing record. Does anyone know how to circumvent this problem?

    Ok so youu have a new computer with all the content you want on it?
    You have restored the iphone and got Music and photos on it.
    Contacts are now normally syncd via the icloud.
    In preferences select iCloud and switch on contacts and anything else you want
    Then on your iPhone select Settings, Preferences, iCloud and turn the icloud elements on there Contacts, Calenders etc
    That should enable Contacts and Calender to show on your phone and as soon as you make changes on the mac it will update the iphone and vice versa
    The final thing is Apps. Are they on your computer?

  • New Laptop - Big Problems

    ...or rather, prob not. I'm just being a bit useless.
    My problem is this - I hope that you can help.
    My old powerbook died a death a few weeks ago, but thankfully my music was stored on an external drive.
    I've just invested in a new macbook air (woo!) and am trying to set up iTunes to recognise the external drive as the source of all my music files - rather than copying them to the laptop's hard drive.
    I know I must be being bloody daft, there must be a simple way of doing this - but I just can't work it out.
    Please - can anyone help?

    in iTunes, go preferences > advanced and disable +*copy files to ... when adding to library+*.
    next, choose +add to library+ from the file menu and select the folder containing your media files.
    when done, you might want to point +*iTunes media folder location+* to the external drive and re-enable the +*copy files to ... when adding to library+* option. that will ensure iTunes is putting any newly added content there.
    be sure the external is mounted on your desktop before you launch iTunes from now on.
