Sync ipod music with PC

OK, I am a real beginner. I am trying to help my sister (even more of a beginner than me!), who did not back up her itunes library. Then her computer was "rebuilt" and we cannot find her itunes music. her husband's music and other files are all present, but her itunes library is so far, not to be found. Is there anyway we can reload her library onto her hard drive, FROM HER IPOD???? Another question, is there a way to back up her ipod, separately from backing up the itunes libary, onto CDs....
help is appreciated for us newbees!!!

I keep all of my music on my iPod Classic. I inadvertently changed the sync setting on my iPhone 5 to sync the music with my phone. I am overcapacity and want to remove the music from my phone. How do I do that?

I keep all of my music on my iPod Classic. In error, I changed the sync setting on my iPhone 5 to sync the music with my phone. I am overcapacity on my phone and don't want any music on my phone so I want to remove the music from my phone without disturbing my iTune music files on my PC and iPod. How do I do that?

On your phone: Settings>General>Usage>Music...tap the Edit button...then the red minus sign. This will delete all music on your phone.

HT1296 how do i sync all music with ipod on new computer

How do i sync all music with ipod on new computer

Connect the iPod and sync with iTunes the same way that you sync any iDevice with iTunes. If you are trying to transfer the music on the iPod into iTunes on the computer - connect the iPod to your computer and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPod name under the devices headings and select transfer purchases. That will transfer the purchase songs on your iPod into your iTunes library.
If you provide a few more details of what you actually are trying to do, it would be a little easier to provide you with the help that you seek.

HELP!!!! My ipad doesnt sync the music with my HP laptop properly.

My ipad doesnt sync the music with my HP laptop properly. The music goes onto the ipad and doesnt start at the beginning of the tune when played as well as jumps within the tune itself. Anyone know how to fix this?
When the music is played with either windows media player or itunes, the musics fine, but when its put onto the ipad, it doesnt work properly.
I've tried it with my friends macbook and it syncs with that fine. It seems to be between my laptop and my ipad, but like I said before, the music works fine with my laptop and it doesnt give me no issues at all when either played on laptop or streamed to my sonos system.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Why not buy a Netbook which is much cheaper, has a better keyboard and no compatibility issues with your MS software?

How do you manage to sync your music with your iPhone/iPod?

Hello everyone!
I want to ask you how you manage to keep your music library synced with your iPhone/iPod.
For years I managed to copy music onto the iOS device manually as my iTunes library was way to large to fit my iOS device.
Some months ago I created a playlist called "iPhone music". Then I created smart playlists which amongst others followed the rule "Playlist is iPhone music". That works so far and makes sure I do not try syncing more music than I have space on my iPhone (I always have an eye on the "iPhone music" playlist).
But maybe anyone of you uses a better and smarter way? Thanks for any ideas and suggestions!

Then be more specific.
Creat a list with your top rated trance music, or put a keyword in certain songs and make smart playlists using keywords or simply limit the size of the smart playlist.
You can make =these playlist in just about any manner you wish. They are very flexible.

HT1296 One Ipod touch has a different Apple ID than the rest. We are unable to sync Ipod Touch with our computer to transfer music we already purchased. How can we get this music transfered?

How can I transfer music from our computer to an Ipod Touch with a different Apple ID?

Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and tap the Apple ID listed and sign out and sign in with other ID
You also may want to go to other places like:
- Settings>iCloud
- Settinge>FaceTime
- Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and change the ID
It may be best to go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings and start over again and set up the iPod again with his account/ID

I keep this as a copy and paste. It's the same process for Mac as it is for a PC. Read it over and see what you think. Post back if you have questions.
The following was copied from this thread. This is essentially what you want to accomplish.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your Mac and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on iTunes / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
Read this thread and the support links as well. There are apps that you can purchase that will allow you to transfer photos from the iPad to your PC. Look at Photo Transfer App in the App store and you can search for others as well.

I can't sync iPod classic with iTunes Match since I have updated to iTunes 11

When I open iTunes (11) and connect my iPod (classic) it does not recognise the device. I am using iTunes Match. My question is how do I transfer the music from PC to my iPod? I just bought a new PC and thought getting Match would be useful and save time transferring from my old PC. It was fine to begin with until the iTunes 11 update.
Any help would be appreciated!

The iPod classic not bring recognized is unrelated to iTunes Match. You should post this problem to either the iPod Classic forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipod/ipod_classic or the iTunes for Windows forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_for_windows. Probably the former.
FYI it is only iOS devices that cannot be synced via USB with iTunes Match enabled.

Syncing ipod touch with more than one computer

I have a home computer and an office computer. My home computer has all my music, podcasts, etc. and when I sync my Ipod Touch with it, everything gets on the Ipod Touch. However when I then want to sync my Ipod Touch with my office computer, mainly to sync Ical and Address Book, it removes all the stuff (music, podcasts) from the Touch that is not on the Office computer. I've tried using Preferences and the Info tab to set things so that this wouldn't happen. I.e., trying just to sync Ical and Address Book but it keeps syncing Music and removing stuff I don't want removed from the Touch. What can be done?

HT201302 how to sync ipod touch with a new computer

Syncing iPhone music with Two computers is not happening

I had the iPod touch and sold it in anticipation of the iPhone. On the iTouch you could sync it perfectly with two machines even three or four.
My beef is that the music libraries can't be read or added to from more than one computer. I work in a recording studio and am always adding songs from different computers and this feature is crucial. What I always loved doing was plugging in my phone to my home computer and listening to my days work through its speakers. This is very frustrating as every time i want to add a song from home i have to erase all my songs on the iPhone. PLEASE CHANGE IT BACK!
Does anyone know a work around for this?

I'm having this problem with purchased ringtones. Unaware of the fact that you can only sync iPhone from only one computer, I purchased several ringtones on another of our authorized computers (same account) while I was literally in another state. When I tried to add them to my iPhone, I got the message telling me my existing iPhone ringtones would be deleted/replaced if I proceeded, so I didn't. Now I have purchased ringtones sitting on a computer that can't be used on the only iPhone I own. This seems an irrational policy.
Since there is only one purpose for ringtones, you should be able to 'add' them to your iPhone when purchased on any of your authorized computers - you have paid for them after all. Is there a way to export them from one authorized computer to another (the one you normally use to sync your iPhone)?
