    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

  • Sync new iPod Touch 4G to old iPod Touch 2G Library

    When my new 4G iPod Touch arrives any day now, I'd like to sync it with my current 2G iPod Touch library. That is, I'd like to transfer all the data, apps, playlists, settings, etc. from my current 2G iPod Touch library to the new 4G iPod Touch. What is the easiest way to accomplish this? (Once the new iPod Touch is set up, the old iPT will no longer be used. I plan to reset/wipe it and possibly sell, so I have no need to sync both of them to the same library...)
    Thanks!

    I wanted to let you know that I had the same concern and everything worked well EXCEPT the Apps transferring. It turns out that if you bought your apps directly through your old iPod Touch and not through the computer than you will have an issue with App data transfering over. Here's what to do.
    1)connect your OLD iPod Touch to the computer, back it up, and disconnect.
    2)connect your NEW iPod Touch to the computer and go through start up.
    3)you should then be prompted to restore from back up or set up as new ipod (if not simply right click on the listed new device on iTunes and select restore from backup and click on recent backup)
    4)All of your settings will now be the same as they were on your old iPod but you will NOT see your Apps (however all of the data from your old apps is on your new iPod just not where you can see it)
    5) Lastly, go to the App Store on your NEW iPod and download your old apps. (even if they cost money, it will not make you pay because it will recognize you have data from previous app on your iPod)

  • IPOD stolen, can I sync new ipod or itouch with library

    My Ipod was recently stolen. Can I sync a new ipod or itouch with the itunes library I backed up for my original ipod?
    Thanks

    Hey there,
    Yes you can. Just go ahead and hook it up to your new computer and go through the registration process and sync away if the backed up music is already imported into your new library. Hope this helps.

  • Problems syncing new ipod nano

    I was given a 7th generation ipod nano for Christmas. I installed itunes and it downloaded some of my music to the ipod including two books I had bought from Audible. It then refused to sync anything else, not even the music I've bought from itunes store. I've removed the audible files from the ipod and from the itunes library but I still can't add anything to the ipod. When itunes opens up it says sync is complete, but there are still only two albums on the ipod. I've tried restoirng the settings on  the ipod and when I tried to uninstall itunes my computer crashed, but itunes are still there with the same problems. I've now lost hours trying to resolve this

    Hello JoJo717,
    Congratulations on your new iPod nano!  It sounds like you have one computer but multiple iPods.  There are a three options when syncing multiple devices to one computer, and the article below outlines these methods.  I recommend reviewing the article to find a method that would work for you:

  • Can't Sync New IPod Touch

    I have just purchased the IPod Touch. I have an 80 gig classic. I can't get the touch to sync with my ITunes library. I keep getting the message "The Ipod "Ron's Touch" cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to. I have called support but to date I have not been able to get a solution to this problem. I can sync the Touch to other PC's so I know it is not a problem with the Touch. I am running an EMachine with XP Media Center Ed. Version 2002 SP2. It is an Intel Pentium D CPC 2.66 ghz. with 2 gig of RAM. Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    My husband just got a new iPod touch 16 GB. He uses an HP Pavilion running Windows XP Home Edition (Service Pack 3) and the latest iTunes. Last night he tried updating his iPod touch (for the first time) and kept getting an error window (couldn't connect to the update server... check your network settings...). I figured it was because we were on Wi-Fi so I had him plug directly into one of the router's ethernet ports. It still didn't work. I did some googling and found a thread about re-checking the automatically detect LAN settings box in the internet options/connections. After that we were able to download and install the new software (even though it seemed to take a really long time). But anytime we checked for updates we would have to re-check the LAN settings box to get it to connect.
    We tried syncing the iPod again after updating the software, but kept getting another error window (disc could not be found). We get the same error window when we try restoring the iPod touch.
    Does anyone know what this means or how we can fix it? He just bought the thing and is having problems already (he is incredibly frustrated). Please help.
    (I just realized how old the posts in this forum are... I may try posting elsewhere)

  • Sync new ipod to computer

    What do I do when I get my new ipod and connect it to my itunes without it erasing everything in my library?  It's happened to me before and I don't want it to happen again.

  • Synced new ipod to itunes, now missing all but itunes store purchased music that is already on my phone

    Synced our new ipod nano today to itunes. I don't know what happened but now all but itunes store purchases are in the library, my playlist is gone as well as all the music I had downloaded from my CD's. The iphone 5 still has everything on it but not on my computer. Frustrating!!   Now I'm scared to sync my phone, thinking I may lose all of my library off there as well. How do I get my library back on to my computer so I can transfer that music to my ipod?

    Look into iTunes Match, a service from Apple that uploads your music in itunes to the cloud (not icloud) so you can download it to other devices.
    Try googling "itunes match"

  • Uploading Library into New Ipod & Xferring library to itunes on other PC...

    Hi All....
    1.) I had(have) an Ipod Classic (30GB) and dropped it. Needless to say, the screen shattered. So, I went to MAC World where I got the entire Ipod replaced for $140. In doing so, my library was wiped out too..So, how do I upload my library from Itunes onto my new Ipod?
    2.) How do I transfer my Itunes library from the original PC where I first installed ITunes (years ago) to my new laptop? Why can't I just install/open ITunes on my new laptop and my original library be there? How do I sync it with the new Ipod so that my original library is uploaded onto it from my laptop?
    Your help is greatly appreciated!!
    Regards,
    T.

    *How do I upload my library from Itunes onto my new Ipod?*
    Connect your new iPod to your computer and follow the on screen instructions to register and name it. It will connect to iTunes and prompt you to automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like. You can leave it at manual update or choose to sync music - selected playlists.
    *How do I transfer my Itunes library from the original PC where I first installed ITunes (years ago) to my new laptop?*
    Probably the most straightforward way to get iTunes onto your new computer is to network it with the old one and copy your iTunes folder across. This works fine if you have been using iTunes to completely manage your music and all your songs are in iTunes Music not in different folders. You can also use this method with an external hard drive, you drag the folder from the old computer to the external drive and then from the drive to the new computer. If the songs in your library are not all in the iTunes Music folder you can consolidate them. When you consolidate, any songs in the iTunes Library that are not in the iTunes Music Folder are copied to the Music Folder and the Library is updated to point to those new files. Files already in the iTunes Music Folder have no changes made to them: Copying all your iTunes files to one location - Windows
    Copying the whole folder brings with it the iTunes Music folder and also the iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl in Windows) database file which holds all the information about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?
    When you copy the iTunes folder make sure you put it into the same location on the new computer. This has to be the exact same place, on a PC this is \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\. Everything has to be exactly the same on the new computer including the Windows user account name. When you open iTunes on the new computer it will be the same as on the original one Songs, Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings etc. You should also use the same version of iTunes on both computers.
    Your iPod can be used as an external drive and you can move the iTunes folder onto it: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    If you have any iTunes purchases in your library don't forget that you'll need to authorise your new computer to play them. Also if you are disposing of the old one remember to deauthorise it so you don't use up one of your allowances: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation
    *Why can't I just install/open ITunes on my new laptop and my original library be there*
    Because your library is just a database that links to the songs on your hard drive, you have to have the songs on the hard drive for iTunes to use them.
    *How do I sync it with the new Ipod so that my original library is uploaded onto it from my laptop?*
    See your first point above

  • Syncing New iPod Nano

    I have an old iPod that I want to keep up to date, as well as a new iPod Nano - can I sync both devices with my iTunes account?  When I attach my new iPod Nano, the sync function is not available.

    After you connect your iPod on iTunes, click on the iPod bar, that appears on iTunes, take a look:
    What you neew to do now is just go to the TOP bar and click on MUSIC, there you can select the playlist or individual songs or albums you want to send to iPod.
    A 2nd way is select your songs from the library and drop it to the iPod icon, behind "devices" Menu.

  • Can't sync new ipod nano - music not added

    My old ipod was stolen...bought a new ipod nano and I'm trying to sync...went to account to edit and tried to change computers...clicked on change country but there is still $.13 left on the account so it will not let me change computers...help please

    Hey danlizmil,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you want to move music from your iPod nano to your new computer, and you’re using the Transfer Purchases command in iTunes which isn’t copying music that wasn’t purchased from the iTunes Store. Take a look at the article linked below, it describes the supported ways to move your music to a new computer and provides more information about the Transfer Purchases feature.

  • Problems Syncing New iPod Touch 5g

         Ever since I got my new iPod a few days ago I have been having an extremely hard time syncing my iPod. The first time I went to plug it in to sync, everything worked perfectly and all my songs and videos from my previous iPod were on my new one. Now I try to put new songs onto it from some cd's I got and other stuff, but it just will not work. When I plug my iPod into my computer with the cord that came with it, an error message pops up onto my computer saying "USB Device not Recognized" so of course with that, iTunes does not recognize it either. The few times that I do plug my iPod in and iTunes recognizes it, it will sync for only a minute or so if even, and then an error will occur and the "USB Device no Recognized" sign will pop up once again. I decided after trying to get songs onto my new iPod and also after syncing a few times saw that it was putting multiples of my purchased songs onto my iPod that I would restore it and try it again, I've had no luck. This is beginning to get very frustrating because I have over 1,000 songs that I would like to put onto my iPod and I don't know what to do. Could someone possibly tell me if this has been happening to more than just me. How can I fix this? Also, sometimes when I plug my iPod in it will say to connect it to the 2.0 USB for it to work faster, the problem with this is that I have no idea where it is on my computer and I've tried plugging it into all of the USB outlets on my computer that I know of. If someone could please tell me what to do, it would save me, I don't know how much longer I can put up with this without throwing my computer out the window.

    - First I would do:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    or
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    - Next try on anoterh computer to help determine if y have a computer or iPod/cable problem
    - Also try another cable if you have one. Some 5G iPod where shipped with defective cables.
    - It cold also be a computer problem. The iPod requires USB 2 ports.
    - Does your computer have USB 2 portsd? How old is the iPod.
    - Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
