  • How do I move music from early gen. Shuffle, to Ipod library on new computer, so when it syncs, I won't lose purchased, downloaded music?

    Sure this has been asked before, sorry, didn't want to read thru a million threads. Was able to upload SOME purchased tunes from older shuffle to new computer's library, but I want to move EVERYTHING from shuffle to new computer Itunes library so when I sync it, it won't erase all those purchased tunes. I can't access my old library on old computer, because the old computer won't even turn on. THANKS

    For songs purchased from the iTunes Store, you can use iTunes to transfer them from iPod to computer. If you are not already, log into the iTunes Store using the same Apple ID used to purchase the songs.  Under File (in the iTunes menu bar), select Transfer Purchased from <name of iPod>.
    For other songs, there is no way to transfer from iPod to computer using iTunes.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that will allow transfer of song files from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," it should give you some links (add "mac" to the search if your computer is a Mac).
    Once the songs files are safely on your computer, add them to your iTunes library and then sync the shuffle.

  • New computer, ipod won't sync

    My old iBook's hard drive had some water damage, so I got a new MacBook. But now my ipod won't sync with my new computer unless I erase what I already have on my ipod. How do I get all my non-purchases off my ipod before reformatting to my new computer?
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    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. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. 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. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: 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. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content 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 music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available, you can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Senuti Mac Only
    PodView Mac Only
    PodWorks Mac Only
    iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac & Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac & Windows
    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 at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    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 , 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.

  • New Computer--iPad Won't Sync

    Frustration with a capital F.
    A couple of weeks ago I bought a new desk top. All my iPods are doing fine with the transfer of my iTunes library to the new computer. I thought everything was fine with my iPad. It synced a couple of new TV shows and some music, but when I plugged it in tonight, after downloading iTunes 10. whatever, it wants to erase everything I have on it. It says it is synced to another library. I had problems with my iPhone also . . . .
    How do I get my iPad to re-recognize the only library it has ever known and start syncing again?
    Thanks!

    You could restore it from a backup, assuming you have one from a previous sync

  • HT2291 I installed Itunes on mu laptop.I down;oaded some music. The hard drive on that computer crashed. How do i get my Itunes library from the other computer to put on my new computer?

    How do i get my Itunes library from my crashed hard drive to put on my new computer? The old computer had Windows Vista and the new computer has Windows 8.

    It will only be where you put it.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod.  File>Transfer Purchases.

  • Is there a way to get my music from my old library (crashed computer) on my new computer so I can sync that librabry with my new purchases?

    Is there a way to get my music from my old library which is located on a crashed computer - to my new computer so I can sync that librabry with my new purchases?

    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

  • IPhone music won't sync with new iMac computer

    I've been using a PC with my iPhone. now I use an iMac and transferred my entire iTunes library from the PC to the Mac, but the music won't sync to the iPhone. I've tried restoring the phone and everything but nothing seems to be working. help?!

    What are your selections under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
    Are you syncing contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal on your Mac and if so, are your contacts and calendar events synced?
    Have you selected any photos on your Mac to be transferred to your iPhone and if so, are the photos being transferred to your iPhone when syncing?
    Long story short, do all other selections under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences work except for music?

    iPods and other iDevices are not backup or storage devices.
