New music purchases on my new computer will not sync to ipod?

How do I get new music purchases on my new computer to sync to my ipod?

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
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?

I recently bought a new laptop because my old one crashed. The only backup I had for my music was on my ipod. My new computer will not recognize the ipods music and I can't transfer anything. What do I do???

I recently bought a new laptop because my old one crashed. The only backup I had for my music was on my ipod. My new computer will not recognize the ipods music and I can't transfer anything. It keeps asking me to sync the ipod to this computer, but I'm scared to lose all my music. I want to transfer some of the music onto my iphone but I can't. I'm very frustrated and wish I knew more about computers at the moment!?!? What do I do???

You will need the help of some sort of 3rd party software to help you copy the content from your Shuffle back to your PC. Once you have done that, you can reimport this music into iTunes and configure it to sync to your new Shuffle.

New computer will not sync recent purhcases to ipod

I haveadded a new computer to my home sharing network. I was able to transfer my existing music library and to make new itunes purhases, but the new purchases will not sync from the new computer to my ipod

Maybe the drive letter on your exHD is getting changed. If it is F: one day and you plug in a different USB device, Windows can nicely change the exHD's letter to G: for you. That would make itunes not be able to find the music, since itunes is looking for it on F: Not G:
Assign the drive letter permanently.

TS1369 My new computer will not recognize my iPod Shuffle

My iPod Shuffle is not recognized by my new computer running Windows 7 and consequently the iPod will not sync with my library.

Songs on Authorized Computer Will Not Sync with iPod

I upgraded the hard drives in my computer that contained my iTunes library when one of my RAID disks failed. I was able to recover all of my data (all documents, photographs, songs, etc.) but I had to reinstall Windows XP and all software becuase the OS was compromized on both RAID drives (why, we don't know). (I've read the "helpful" advice from Apple that you should "deauthorize" your computer...before the hard disks crash! If I knew they were going to crash, I would have done more than "deauthorize" my computer.)
When I installed iTunes, it looked into my disk and found my music library. Two things happened:
1. Some albums, but not all, got split up so that a few songs were separated from the balance of the songs on an album. This is a real problem when I want to listen to a symphony and only three of the four movements show up, for example.
2. All of the songs that I had downloaded from the iTunes store were now “unauthorized” on my computer. Although it made me upset to waste an “authorization,” I went ahead and authorized the computer (although all I had done was recover a disk that could no longer be played). Then I tried to sync my computer to my iPod. All of the iTunes downloaded music did not appear on my iPod. In fact, when I sync, iTunes says that my downloaded music is not authorized to be played on this computer and, hence, isn’t authorized on the iPod even though IT IS authorized on the computer (i.e. I can play it on iTunes from my computer just not from my iPod).
BOTTOM LINE:
I have been unable to figure out how to get the music that is now "authorized" (again) on my computer to show up on my iPod so that I can listen to it on the iPod.
I also need help to reassemble my "albums" so that they include all of the songs that were orignally part of them.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Well, you'll have to look at this article to see if it will help for the albums getting split up - I have no idea why that would have changed, but see if the "Compilation" checkbox helps.

Those directions are for itunes 7 - in iTUnes 8, the compilation checkbox for multiple items is on the Option tab.
And for the song not going to the ipod, try this for just one song - remove it from your itunes library (but NOT your hard drive!) and then re-add it back into itunes. It might go to the iPod then.
Nobody has ever posted back whether this works, but you're not alone on authorized songs not syncing to your iPod. More and more folks are seeing this since itunes 7, esp with older purchased songs. Newer purchases seem to sync just fine.

I cannot get the music I have recently purchased from itunes 7.0 to upload on my 60/Video IPod.
try playing one of the songs for a few seconds in itunes. does itunes ask you to authorise? if so, and if you do, will the songs transfer to the ipod next time you try to sync?

Hi Ashley...
My iPod crashed
You need to restore your iPod before trying to sync with iTunes.
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software
If the iPod won't show up under Devices left side of the iTunes window in the source list, try here > iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

New Purchased apps will not sync to ipod touch

Ok, my son just purchased two more apps to put on his ipad touch. they show up in our library, but will not sync. "Sync Apps" is checked, as is "automatically sync new apps". All other apps are checked and are showing in his ipod touch. These two new ones, will not sync. when you check the boxes for them from the apps screen, i get the "revert" and "apply" boxes appearing. I click on "apply" then it changes to "sync" and when I click that, it goes through the sync process, then unchecks the two new apps when done. of course these two apps have failed to sync. Music sync is working fine. Any help out there?

Are the apps compatible with the iPos e.g. is the relevant iOS version on the iPod (Settings > General > About > Version) and the apps are designed to work on the iPod - an app's requirements are shown on the left-hand side of its description page in the store.

HT1369 Brand new computer with Windows 8.1 will not sync with iPod Classic 120G. Windows does not recognize anything but iPod Touch? Is there a simple sloution?

Brand new computer with Windows 8.1 will not sync to iPod Classic 120G. Windows does not recognize anything but iPod Touch? Is there a simple solution. Diagnostics have run and failed to point to a fix.

Might be worth tearing down the whole iTunes install and starting over...
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.

Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

Only have 3 devices authorized, but my new computer will not authorize. Itune says there are 5 devices connected already. why?

Perhaps the five includes computers that you no longer own, or a computer that has had a replacement hard drive put in it.
In your iTunes account, De-authorise All and then authorise the computer(s) that you still use.

I used the digital download from my purchased Blu-Rays and they will not sync with either my iPad or iPhone 4, saying they did not transfer because I am not authorized on this computer. I tried de-authorizing and re-authorized my MacBook Pro already

I just got a Touch 32GB yesterday and ran into the same problem. I have two PCs in the house that I can sync my iPods on, but I normally use one that DOESN'T have an internet connection, so that the one that does is free for others to use ... a great argument and tension solution, btw.
Anyway, I hooked up the older "iTunes" PC to the net for a first-time sync with the Touch, and ran into this problem. First it kept detecting the Touch as an unidentified iPhone, then I couldn't sync my classic either. Then I found a post here about how when multiple USB ports running off same USB controller seem to screw with the Touch/iPhone syncing.
So I disconnected all but 2 of my USB 2.0 slots (the Touch & the Portable HD with my iTunes Library) and now it's working perfectly. I don't know if this will solve your problem, but it might be worth a try.
