  • Computer crashed cant sync music...

    my computer crashed so we had to reset it to its original settings so i lost all of my music on my computer... and now i cannot add music from my computer to my iphone without deleting all of my music thats already on the iphone.... any way to get around this or do i have to put all my music back on my computer again?

    Do you not back up your important info/music/pics?
    You can transfer itunes purchased music. With iphone attached, in itunes click File>Transfer Purchases.
    This would be a good day to begin backing up your info to an external source.

  • Old computer crashes no backups to ipod songs except what is on my ipod  30 gb how do i recoup my library on new windows 7 computer?

    My 8 year old XP coumputer crashed . my Ipodmusic library is lost. my 30 gb ipod has all the music and i haave no other back up. how do I recover the music to my new windows 7 computer?

    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to copy content from your iPod back to your PC.  Next time, be sure to maintain a backup of either your iTunes library or your entire system.

  • Replaced my computer. Cant sync my ipod to new computer without erasing and loading the empty library on the new computer. Any ideas?

    I replaced my computer. When I try to load my music from my ipod to the new computer's itunes, the only option is: "this ipod is synced to another library. Do you wish to erase and load with this library".  The new computers library is of course empty. Any ideas?

    You should be able to recover the media currently on the iPod with the tips in  this post from forum regular Zevoneer.
    If you are in the US you should be able to download purchased tracks that are still on sale in the iTunes store on demand once you sign into your iTunes account. If you live anywhere else you may find that a request to redownload your previous purchases might be granted, but the store is under no obligation. You were reminded to back them up at the time of purchase.

    - Transfer iTuns purchases:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program lke one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right-clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
    - Restore the iPod from that backup. That should also get you the update.
    - If in the USA, you can also redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • HT1386 My old computer crashed and I can't sync new songs from my new computer to my IPod without erasing all of the existing content on the IPod.  Can new songs be added without erasing?

    My old computer crashed and I can't sync new songs from my new computer to my IPod without erasing all of the existing content on the IPod.  Can new songs be added without erasing?

    Yes by:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    However, you can make this computer the syncing computer by:
    - Transering iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    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:
    Copy music
    - For synced photos you need a program like TouchCopy or PhoneView. The do music too.
    - After everything is on the computer connect the iPod to the computer and make a backupo by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps, music, synced photos.

    Any error messages when you sync the iPod? Do all of these tracks play okay in iTunes?
    How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library?  In other words, what options and configurations do you have in place from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration tabs?

  • Old computer crashed and cannot sync ipod to new computer?

    My old computer crashed and now i got a new computer. I can download songs from itunes with my appleID but they wont sync to my ipod?! I tried following the troubleshoot for authorizing a new computer and it says it is now authorized. I also use to use home sharing for my and my mom's computers. I deauthorized all computers and then tried re authourizing this one but still no luck. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Im leaving for vacation Friday and would love to have all the songs I just purchased go onto my ipod! Thanks for any help!

    Hey missyt23
    I would try restoring the iPod and then sync again. A thing to look for is to change settings for syncing music. For example change to manually manage music and drag the music to the iPod.

  • HT1351 my old computer crashed (without backing up my itunes). Can I sync my music from my iPod to my new computer?

    My old computer crashed with my entire iTunes library. It was not backed up and now my only music library is on an older iPod Nano. Is there a way of getting my music from my iPod to my computer so that I can then get my music onto my iPhone 4S?
    Thank you,

    You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes (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 a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files are on your new computer, add them to your iTunes library.  Then, you can sync the iPod and iPhone to that iTunes library.
    NOTE:  For any previous song purchases from the iTunes Store, you can re-download them at no cost from the iTunes Store Purchased screen.  You need to be signed in using the same Apple ID used for purchasing.

  • Old computer crashed and iTunes won't let me sync my old iPod

    My old computer crashed and when I plug my old iPod into my new computer, iTunes asks me if I'd like to erase all the music from the iPod and copy whatever music I have within my new iTunes. I lost a lot of my c.d.'s when I moved, so I don't want to do that. How do I get all my music from my old iPod onto my new computer?

    Hello Justin,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    See this article for instructions on how manually copy the contents of your iPod back over to your new computer. Even though the article mentions Vista and XP, Windows 7 should be similar to Vista.

    Otherwise, see this older post by Zevoneer for countless other ways to copy it back over.

    Save all the photos from your Droid into a folder on your computer.
    Connect your device to your computer. On iTunes left Pane, select iPhone under 'Devices'; then on the right Pane, select PHOTO tab.  Make sure Sync Photo box is checked, and "from" box selected the folder that has Droid's photos.  Then click the SYNC or APPLY button on the lower right window.

  • My old computer crashed, so I bought a new computer. How can I get my IPOD music in the new computer

    my old computer crashed. I bought a new one. I installed Itunes, with a new account. I cannot get my music from my ipod touch to the new computer. It is all music I had downloaded from cd's I have purchased through the years. Every time I try to authorize the new computer, it wants a credit card number for the ITunes store. I don't want to buy more music now, I just want to be able to get my songs in my new computer. This is driving me crazy. any help, since the phone support is not available when I am. Thanks.

    The music sync is one wa - copmputer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer.  Use your backup to  put everything back

  • My old computer crashed and i lost everything from contacts too music. i have a new labtop and want to sync my contacts and music and apps over to itunes without everything being erased. what is the easiest way to do that?

    My old computer crashed and i lost everything that was on itunes and on the computer contacts music etc. i want to get the new iphone but the 3gs i have has not been sync with the new computer & I don't want to loose or have everything erased on my phone just want to put everything that's on my phone to new computer. what the most uncomplicated way to do that?

    No.
    All iTunes content on your iPod Touch should be in your iTunes library on your computer, and your iTunes library on your computer should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data - stored on an external drive or some other external media used for backup purposes only.
    When music was purchased on a CD, if the CD was lost and you returned to the store where the CD was purchased with your receipt, were you given a replacement CD?
    The same applies here.
