Problem syncing ipod and itunes on new computer

I just got a MacBook Pro from my dad. I plugged my iPod into the new computer and replaced his library on the computer with mine. Now, every time I purchase new songs on iTunes on the computer and then sync my iPod, the purchased songs don't sync on the iPod. It says it's syncing, but the new songs aren't on the ipod. I also have my entire iTunes library still on my old PC (which I still have). What do I need to do to ensure my library is up to date on my MacBook and that the newly purchased songs (on the mac) will sync to my iPod?

Hi!
It sounds like the songs might have been purchased under your dad's account and therefore won't sync to your library. The iTunes application itself can have many different users, each having their own account. If you have your own home drive and set up your library there, but opened iTunes with your Dad's account set up, the application would not have known to change users on its own.
I would double check to see under whose account the songs were purchased.

  • Cannot sync ipod to itunes on new computer because it doesnt recognize apps

    any help??

    - An iPod can only sync to one computer.  Yu can swithced computers.
    - You need to get all the stuff on the new computer first.  This includes app and Music.
    - After the stuff is the new computer.  Make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Backup.
    - Restore the iPod from that backup. Then sync as necessary

  • Transferring ipod and itunes to new computer

    I just got a new computer and downloaded itunes. When I plugged my ipod in, my library showed up but the screen was gray and I couldn't select anything. Any suggestions on how to transfer?

    Well... if you want to take all your music with you... to a new computer, you can enable your iPod to support Disk Use (support files) and then locate the "iTunes Music" folder that has all your music (under My Docs) and just Copy the file, or drag the file onto your iPod then plug your iPod into your new pc, and open the iPod in My Computer and drag the file off your iPod to My Docs again (on your new pc) or wherever you want it stored.

    Hi all. Never had any problems with iTunes over the past 6 or 7 years but suddenly (in last week or two) I can't play any songs with 10.6.1. I can select songs and get the speaker symbol, but the song does not play and the indicator stays at 0, while the play button is replaced by the pause button, as it normally does when a song is playing. I am using a one year old PC with Windows 7 and have had no other issues. Tried starting iTunes in safe mode...same result.Thoughts? Thanks.

    I have a sync key, and have a new computer terminal, but when I enter the account details I created, it syncs nothing with my new computer. How do I fix this? There is nothing showing up when I sync with the sync key from my old terminal.

    I recently had to do a wipe on my laptop. I saved the sync key but there was no mention of a sync account prior to doing the wipe. I saved the key and when I did the wipe it asked me to make an account, which I had not done, but now I am seeing no where to put in a sync key code. did they make them unusable now or something?
    </blockquote>
    You are probably trying to use old Sync with Firefox newer than version 29,
    and they did make old Sync unusable on fresh installations of newer Firefox.
    You can uninstall that newer Firefox, then install Firefox 29 from here:
    https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/29.0.1/
    Apply your sync key code, then update that installation to current Firefox,
    then migrate to new Sync:

  • Having problem syncing iPod with iTune

    I have never come across this problem before but I have the 80GB iPod and I tried to update and sync it and iTunes does not have the sync option available. It is grayed out and it asks me to "Transfer purchases from iPod". I don't have any purchases to transfer or anything and even when I do click on it nothing happens. At this point, I can't sync my iPod or add any new songs. What should I do? Any suggestions?

    Hi i am having the same problem have you sorted it yet ive go inand reset the deve manager reinstalled at my wits end and i am going away tommorow with no internet for 3-6 weeks so it will probably have to wait until im home again cheers sb2432

    I do not have my old computer and i want to take music on ipod and add to new computer

    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.
    NOTE:  Previous purchases from the iTunes Store can be re-downloaded at no cost from the iTunes Store Purchased screen.

  • Lost ipod and got a new computer

    is there any way i can get my music and app i purchased and put it on a new ipod if i lost my old one and got a new computer?

    Yes, but you wouldn't have sold the backup copy of your old computer.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.

  • When syncing iphone to itunes on new computer, what is erased? Are texts and contacts erased?

    I got a new computer and am trying to sync my iphone to it. 
    I get the message "..this will erase your iphone..."  What is earsed?  I want to think only the itunes related things (apps, music, videos, etc.)
    Are photos erased as well?
    Thank you!

    All content will be removed.
    You can get Phoneview from http://ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/ which will allow you to move the iPhone content to the computer.
    To prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - hold down the 'option' and the 'command' keys when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - key the keys down until the iPod/iPhone is listed under the Devices list in iTunes - this will prevent a sync from taking place and you will be able to change your settings.

  • What is the Best Way to Sync iPod nano to a new Computer and User?

    what is the best way to sync ipod to a new computer and user?
    moving from old mac to new mac - same ipod
    - currently won't add music etc. i guess because it is not associated with this new computer
    - i don't care if I dump all old contents - if necessary...
    BTW: what if it's the same username?

    No problem.
    What about when I have the same user name on both old and new computers - and right now the new computer sees/syncs the ipod just fine .... but it seems that on another day it might not allow the sync
    If it's syncing okay already, then you have nothing to worry about. Anyways, why would it change? It doesn't decide when to. It either syncs or it doesn't depending on the situations circumstances, in which your case, you have nothing to worry about because it's already syncing without issues.

  • Cannot sync my ipod to itunes on new computer - not enough privilege

    I purchased brand new HP desktop (model M8517C) has Intel quad core processor @ 2.4ghz with 5 gb RAM. Tried to sync ipod to this new computer and worked partly for the first time and since it is not working. During the part syncing it deleted all previous data and now does not sync atall.
    Error "The iPod "my name - xxx" cannot by synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation.
    The current computer has only one log in account and so it does have administrator privileges and all privileges. I tried everything that I could think of wasting several hrs but it will not sync.
    I have obviously installed the latest version of the iTunes software. The ipod is 60 GB model from few yrs ago and I dont have any warranty.
    Will appreciate any help.

    Are you using the latest downloaded version of iTunes from Apple.com, instead of a version that came on disc with the iPod? According to this article, Windows Vista 64-bit required iTunes 7.6 or later
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1426
    Also, make sure you got the version of iTunes 8 for Windows Vista 64-bit
