So my color iPod finallly kicked the bucket...? about iTunes + new iPod?

My iPod color finally passed on, so I managed to get my hands on a 5th generation video iPod,I was wondering if there was anyway I can sync my iTunes library to the new iPod without having to burn all my music on cd's, then remove the iTunes program and then reinstall everything to start up the new iPod, can someone help me out plz?

Zevoneer is correct!
I've hooked 4 iPods up to this PC, no problems. They have a built-in serial number that tells iTunes they are different.

  • Did my router kick the bucket?

    I have a wireless router, WRT54GS, and after several months of it working fine it just quit sending a wireless signal. I have one computer that is hooked up by cable to the 1 port on the back and that computer continues to get internet, which is strange because when I open the Linksys Easylink Advisor software, it says that I have an internet connection problem.
    -I've tried the troubleshooting process numerous times (powering down, then powering back up the modem and router), but nothing.
    -All the lights in front of the router are lit as they would be if the router was working (lit lights: power, WLAN, ethernet 1, and Internet...that one flickers instead of being on steady...i don't know if that makes a difference)
    -I've done the firmware upgrade to the latest version, but that didn't make a difference.
    -I've pinged the router from the command prompt, and the router pings back so I know it is at least capable of doing that.
    -I've made sure the ip in the router wasn't at 0.0.0.0 (I have cable internet)
    -I've reset the router (thats part of the upgrade process)
    So now I'm out of ideas to try and I'm hoping someone on here can give me some pointers. Otherwise I have no other recourse but to assume that the router kicked the bucket.
    Any ideas anyone??
    thanks

    Make sure that Modem is connected to the router on the internet port..Open the router setup page,Under the wireless tab,change the wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz,change the SSID to unique name...make sure that SSID broadcast is enable and click on save settings.
    Now,under the wireless tab,click on Advanced Wireless Settings,Change the Beacon Interval to 50,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect... 

  • How do I track an old (stolen) ipod touch if I already synced a new ipod touch with the old information without knowing it would not allow me to track my old ipod but my new one instead?

    I lost my iPod touch (4th generation) over a week ago and did not think I installed the icloud on it. When I was setting up my new iPod touch (4th generation),
    I saw that it automatically shows an option for icloud. That made me realize that I probably did install icloud in my old ipod. The problem is that I synced my old ipod with my new ipod on the computer. I thought if I didn't I would loose all of my old infomation. So now evertyime I use the app to find my iPod, it finds my new one. It shows only one device located under it. Is there a way I could find the old iPod? Or could I restore my new iPod and find the old one that way? I'm afraid if I restore it I would loose all my information from my old ipod.

    That makes no difference in finding/tracking your lost/stolen device.
    The old device will only show up in icloud.com if you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

    Hello xerxes.nashion,
    It sounds like your iPod is not recognized by iTunes or your MacBook Pro.  I recommend following the steps in the article below for an issue like this:

    My computer has Bitlocker encryption. When I plug in my iPod Shuffle to the USB port, iTunes does not recognize it. When asked to encrpt the Shuffle I say no, but still not recognized. When I encrypt it, still not recognized (even after it was restored by iTunes). Any suggestions please?

    Did you find a solution?

  • Yesterday i made some purchases in itunestore. the download went well. till the synch of itunes with ipod. some of the downloaded music did noch synchronize. the message was: the ipod does not support the file format (mp4). strange, right?

    Yesterday 20 november I have made some purchases in Ittunestore. The download went well. Till the synch of itunes with ipod. Some of the downloaded music did noch synchronize. The message was: the ipod does not support the file format (mp4). Strange, right? All the rest of downloaded music items has been synchronised without any problems. What may be the problem?

    For music files purchased via the iTunes Store, Apple has used the following file extensions -
    .m4a unprotected AAC format music files
    .m4p protected AAC format music files
    .m4b protected Audio Books
    .m4r unprotected ringtones in AAC format
    As you can see Apple have never used .mp4 for music files via the iTunes Store.
    For videos Apple use .m4v and these are in H.264 format.
    You could try changing the file extension to .m4a, first then see if it plays on your computer and then try re-synching it.

  • HT201210 My iPod constantly shows the 'connect to iTunes' sign, how to fix this?

    My iPod is showing the 'connect to iTunes' sign, even when I connect to iTunes and do everything it says to do. I have repeated this process several times and still no change. I believe it has wiped everything off of my iPod but I can't access anything on it as it is always on the same screen. Can it be fixed?

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

    Then try restoring on another computer.
    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Well, if you loaded a pirated copy of IOS-7, you bricked your iPod.  Drop it in the trash and buy a new one.

  • Can I give my iPod mini in + more money for a new iPod?

    My cousin said that if my iPod mini wasn't working (like now, for example) that I could bring it to the Apple Store, give them the mini and a few extra bucks and they'd give me a newer iPod. True/false?
    I live in Canada, by the way. Thanks for any help.

    You can bring your old iPod in and get 10% off your new iPod.
    Or, if you think you can get more money than that for it, you can try selling it on eBay.

    Dell studio 1747 laptop
    Aha! Intel P55M chipset. Yes that (and the P55) have been among the grumpy ones for iPod connections on Windows 7 systems.
    One of the things that has helped some people with those issues is a BIOS update, and there's a brand spanking new version of the BIOS available on your downloads page (Version A07, posted on 2/11/2010). Are you up to date on that? If not, I'd try updating.

    If no joy with the BIOS update, I'd try the following document. (I've had at least one success with it in recent days with one other person with a PM55 issue.)
