My old laptop crashed and I need to restore my iTunes music and movies to my new laptop from my iPod Touch. Help please. Thanks!

My old laptop crashed, and took my iTunes account with it. I got a new laptop, and want to sync my iTouch to iTunes. It gives me an error message stating that I can't sync to multiple iTunes accounts, but I can't access my old one!
How can I get my new iTunes account to allow me to Sync my iTouch? The only option it gives me is to "transfer purchases" from my iTouch to iTunes, but that is only about 25% of my iTunes library-most of it is CDs I have uploaded. How can I Sync without losing all my music from my iTouch???
Also, I have lectures and photos, etc. on my iTouch that I don't want to lose.
I've tried a few of the iPod copy programs-the free ones and the ones you have to pay for, but I can't find one that will work for ALL my content on an iTouch.
Right now, I can't get anything from my iTouch to iTunes, and I can't update my iTouch with my new iTunes purchases, so I'm stuck! Help!Also-I tried to use my backup hard drive, but I wasn't able to drag/transfer/send/move any of my muic files onto my iTouch when the iTouch was connected to my computer. I can't figure out why it won't let me do that.
The only thing I can see when I open my iTouch on my computer is my file with photos. I can't see videos, music, or anything else. What's going on? -
I have a new Laptop, how can I sync my IPOD music ,photo libary and Apps to the new computor without losing anything? My old laptop is kaput.
You can transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
Most other stuff by the third-party programs discussed here:
Best iPod to PC
However, your app data such as saved games will be lost unless you have a backup file from your old computer. -
I just bought a new laptop and my ipod nano will not stay connected to my computer. When I first connect the ipod it starts to sync on my ipod but not on itunes. The ipod is initially connected to my computer, I can see it when I look on devices in my computer. However, when it finishes syncing it is no longer detected to my computer. I cannot transfer any of my songs to my new laptop because of this. I have tried to reinstall itunes, reset my ipod and use a different port. None of these things worked. Any ideas?

How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer -
changed my passcode on my ipod now I cant remember it it asking me to connect to iTunes but my mum has a new laptop and my ipod is synced to her old one witch is not working how do I restore my ipod to the old setting
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode. -
I have an ipod nano synced to an old laptop. Recently upgraded to a new laptop and want to sync the ipod nano to the new laptop. How do I change the sync to the new laptop?
If you have access to your old laptop (and it's still working), ideally, you should transfer your complete iTunes library from your old PC to your new PC. If you can and want to do it that way, please post back.
Otherwise, iTunes syncing is generally in one direction, from iTunes library to iPod. You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your new iTunes library. -
Hi all,
I have recently bought a new laptop.
My old desktop PC has been used to sync and back-up my iPhone4.
However, when I installed itunes on the new laptop and tried to sync the iphone I got the message
"iPhone can only be synced with one iTunes library"
How can designate my new laptop as the one wheer I can sync and back-up my iPhone?
Old PC: Windows XP
New PC: Windows 7
Can somebody please send me step by step guide as im a novice with PC/iTunes
Hope somebody can help.
Thanks in advance.
Bhav PIt will clear the phone. You need to restore the backup you made of your important files from the old computer (surely no one in the third millennium who uses a computer does not back it up regularly).
You can recover iTunes-purchased music, videos and apps from the phone, but not music from other sources. Connect the phone, do not sync, and choose "Transfer Purchases" from the File menu.
Photos in the Camera Roll can be transferred buy using the Camera Wizard on your computer.
Contacts and Calendar can be synced with apps on your computer; just make sure there is at least one entry in each app on the computer before syncing.
You are out of luck if you have photos in the Photo app on the phone; there are apps for your computer that can extract them, but they will be lower resolution than originals because they have been optimized for the iPhone's resolution. -
hi can someone keep this simple for me! my iPhone is due for a renewal. but my old laptop that it is backed up to no longer works! how do i go about saving all my songs pics etc to a new laptop without losing anything? please help!!!

Bought 5 new songs on itunes. ipod syncs but songs do not show up on any playlist
Bought 5 new songs on itunes . ipod syncs but the new songs don't show up on the play list that is on the ipod . the do appear on itunes library. what am i doing wrong ?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Try syncing using the manual method
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs? (iTunes purchases only) -
My laptop crashed completely and I need to authorize a new laptop to enable it sync with itunes. I have 5 computers authorized so I am unable to add another one so I need to unauthorize the bad laptop that is no longer working. How do I authorize new Laptop?
You can only deauthorize everything to do that. Click on Account under Quick Links. You can deauthorize all five there. But you can only do this once a year.

I have a new laptop and need to sync my itune library with it ... how do i do this ?
I have not backed up my itune library from previous laptop and have a new laptop. Got a new iphone which has all my music but since i bought a new laptop and want to sync my music on iphone with my new lapotp... how do I do this ?
the proper way is to transfer your itunes library from the old laptop and resync your iPhone to the new computer.
It will erase the iPhone and load it again from the new laptop.
If you do not have access to your old laptop and the iTunes library...
well there are ways of getting things off iPhone but you need to google for third party software to do it. -
I bought a new laptop how do I sync my ipad and get all the files synced to my old laptop
I bought a new laptop. Can I sync my ipad to it? And how do I get all the files that were synced to my old laptop?
Do you still have your old computer with your media (music, films, etc) on it so that you can copy them over from it ? If you do then there are a number of methods on this page for how you could copy it over from it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
If not, and if you don't have your content elsewhere (e.g. music that wasn't bought from iTunes), then there are some programs listed half-way down this page for how to copy content back from a device : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
For iTunes downloads you should be able to copy them from your iPad via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases
Also see this page for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
If you want to copy files/documents from the iPad then how you do so depends upon what app that they are in and what the app supports e.g. file sharing on the Apps tab in iTunes, transfer via your wifi network, email, dropbox etc -
My 5th gen 30 gb ipod has a sync issue. If I delete an itunes song, that is already on my ipod, from my hard drive and try to add any new songs to the ipod, the computer takes the deleted song off my ipod. Make sense? I can't find any default settings that address it.
I use an older sony vaio laptop with windows xp.
Thanks.If you are using autosync to manage your music on the iPod, the purpose of the autosync is to make the iPod content a mirror image of the content in your iTunes library. In other words, file deleted from main library will be deleted from the iPod on the next autosync. If you wish to stop this from happening, you will have to set your iPod preferences when the iPod is docked to "manually manage" your iPod content.
