Old Ipod and a new mac
My computer was stolen while living abroad. I did not have my music backed up. I know have an ipod with my music and a mac with no music. I have the USB 2.0 cord, but my adapter was also stolen. If I plug my ipod into my new computer will it erase all of the music that is currently stored on it?
You can copy the music with your iPod to your iTune of you new mac, the easy way is using the 3rd party software, e.g. senuti, ollies ipod extractor, both of them are freeware (please do a search), I am using iPodRip which is good

How do I get an OLD iPod and a NEW iPad to share?
Some time ago I purchased an iPod against my better judgement. A couple of weeks ago I received a new iPad as a gift. I attempted to get set up with my OLD Apple id, but Apple said it didn't exist. Possible since it hadn't been used for a couple of years or more. So I established a "new" Apple id. Then I found out the old one does still exist and it had purchases on it. Now I can't get the old purchases to show up on the new iPad. Is Apple anal retentive when it comes to file handling or what????? I've heard that each ap has it's own storage and file id so even documents can't be found. I thought Apple was supposed to be the "best".
Okay, I re-read what you wrote. I think your words were "If you created a new Apple ID, any purchases you made will be linked to that Apple ID. Use your old Apple ID to download whatever you purchased in the past." So I can still access the "old" stuff on the "old" equipment using the "old" id, and I can access the "new" stuff on the "new" equipment, using the "new" id. What did I miss? I've already read about 200 pages of comments that Apple won't allow you to merge id's so I'm not the only one complaining.
As for returning it? Yeah if you want to pay a $75 rental fee for two weeks. I think they call it a "restocking" fee. And I haven't even begun on the anal retentive idea that it will only download and view MP4 videos, even though most of the world uses AVI. Then there is the issue that you can't use memory cards, thumb drives or anything else of that nature because, there are not ports for anything. And Apple makes sure no one elses cables, cords, connectors etc. are compatible. But assuming you can actually use the thing for anything besides pictures you take with it and MP4 videos, the display is truely stunning.
The weak minds are at Apple and their rediculous restrictions. -
Is there any difference between the old iPod and the new one?
Hello everyone,
first of all i'd like to thank you for reading my post:)
My question is a simple one, i bought the new iPod Video 30 GB, and i came across a couple of questions while i was heading home with my new toy.
How can i actually see the difference between this my new iPod and the one that they where selling before?
Is there any visible difference amongst those two that i can notice?

The new update has a scroll feature on it to make it easier to search for songs on your ipod. It also lets you control the maximum volume your ipod can reach. It has better video quality as well. It lets you play games on your ipod (you have to download them from the Muisc Store)
and thats about it! Have fun with your new ipod!

How to get songs from my old ipod to my new hard drive then to my new ipod?
Recently my computer crash and in order to fix it I had to get a new hard drive which means all my songs' files is gone! I had over 2,000! So I was wondering if there is a way in which I can take all the songs from my ipod and transfer it back to my computer now that it is fixed?? Also, my situation is a bit more complex because I am planning to get a newer ipod.
My old one is a ipod photo (I believe it is the 4th generation) and I am getting the 5th generation ipod video. Is there a way where I can transfer my songs from my old ipod back to my computer or itunes first then plug in my new one so it can update my old songs from my old ipod and my new songs' files in my computer all into my new ipod.
I reinstall itunes because I still use the program to listen to new songs that I have on my computer so I don't know if this information is useful or make things more confusing. I don't know if I should delete this version itune and reinstall the disk that comes with the ipod video? Or is it the same itunes version?
I really need help here I'm so confused on what to do and I am afraid of plugging my ipod in because it would update to my new song on my computer and delete all my old 2,000 songs from my ipod that I do not have backup files too because my old hard drive crash!
Any suggestions, advises, or comments are appreciate!Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod.
The transfer of content sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay. -

I just got a new macbook air and I am trying to figure out how to get all of the music, videos, pictures, apps, etc. that I have on my ipod touch and on my old computer onto my mac. I don't want to lose anything. I just want to figure out how to sync my ipod to my new mac without losing any data.
copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the source to <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the target (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).
you can use an external HD or your network for this operation. everything will be as you were used to from the old machine. -

- You can redownload yur apps at no additional cost. See:
How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store
- You only get one download of music and it is up to you to make a backup. However, sometimes if you explain what happens the iTunes store may allow a redownload of music. You can contact them by starting here and selecting the appropriate topic:

I think iTunes thinks my new iPod is my old iPod and it's keeping me from syncing apps
I recently set up an iPod 5 to replace my iPod 4. The new one was my wife's that she never used and let me have it. So I restored it, tied it to my account, and I've been using it for a couple of weeks and a few days ago downloaded Tiny Death Star, which I've been enjoying.
However, ever since I downloaded it I have been unable to sync with my computer. I repeatedly get the "This iPod is no longer authorized for this app, do you want to authorize", error in iTunes then Iclick yes, then it asks over again and I can't sync anything else. So I deleted the game(sigh...) and everything worked fine again -- but when I try to "push" the app to my iPod from iTunes, it tells me that "tinydeathstar" is not compatible with my iPod -- which is absolutely incorrect. It is incompatible with my iPod 4 (there's some compass thing it needs?) but I downloaded it on my iPod 5 and it runs like a champ.
Tiny Death Star is the only app I have that won't run on an iPod 4. I think that's the issue with the syncing and the pushing -- iTunes thinks that my new iPod is the old iPod, and won't "allow" an app it thinks it is incompatible. To remedy this I've tried 1) doing everything from this support article : (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389), 2) restoring my iPod to factory settings 3) removing both devices from my account and re-adding only the new one and finally 4) uninstalling itunes and manually removing a bunch of registry stuff.
None of that worked.
So it isn't a huge issue for now. I just won't be able to sync my iPod for however long I play this game. But eventually more and more apps won't be compatible with an iPod 4 and I'll be in a pickle. I might have to rebuild my computer (sigh) just to get itunes to work again.
So, other than rebuilding my computer, any ideas?The app seems to be the tiny death star . try reset the sync folder and try it on another account (create one if you dont have one). mac: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1627; http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4600 and for windows: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692. tell me what happens.

I have an old iPod touch with songs from CD's I no longer have (so they weren't purchased on iTunes). The computer that the songs were synced on crashed a while ago. Is there a way I can sync my old iPod to my new computer and retrieve those songs to get them on my new iPhone? They share an Apple ID and iTuens account.
Most Windows users don't.
Purchase an external hard drive and use the backup software that comes with it to backup files from your computer.
Buy TouchCopy and install it on your new computer, connect your old iPod and transfer your songs to your computer. -
Hello everybody,
I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?
I share one Itunes account with other people from my family and one person would like to keep the same songs on the new Ipod as the ones which were on the old one.
Thanks in advance for your answer.
YanHello 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.
