Syncing data from an old iPod touch with a MacBook without deleting Apps.

I have the first iPod Touch with the old iTunes and since I synced it to a PC computer, that PC computer has crashed and all of my Music, Apps, Videos, etc. are only on my iPod. I now have a MacBook with the new iTunes and I want to sync my iPod but it keeps telling me I have to update the software. Problem is, to do this you have to delete everything and I don't want to delete all my Apps because there are many and I paid for them. Is there a way to transfer my Apps to my new iTunes from my iPod? Thanks!

Follow the instructions in the following article. When your restore from backup as the article says the iPod will also be updated. The Mac need OSX 10.6.8 or later since you need iTunes 10.7 or later..

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - For other music you will need a third-party program like on of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Then connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTune and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.

  • I have an older Ipod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new Ipod Touch and cannot be updated.  Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one?

    I have an older iPod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new iPod Touch and Itunes cannot be updated.  Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one?  It is my understanding that the music cannot be saved onto my new iTunes, b/c I did not have iCloud. I have over 2,000 songs I just cannot part with. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help some how!!  THANKS!

    I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

  • How do I transfer songs from my old ipod touch to the new ipod nano?

    I just got the new Ipod nano and I want to get the music i already have to transfer from my old ipod touch to the new nano, how can I do this?

    If your iPod touch music is in your iTunes library, you just need to sync the new iPod nano with iTunes, the songs will be transfer to your new iPod. If not, you can follow this guide to transfer the songs from iPod touch to iTunes first, and then re-sync them to your new iPod. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

    how do i sync my ipod touch with my computer without erasing all of the music already on the ipod

    Sanmannyer, just what are you smoking? iTunes can sync non-iTunes purchased music to any iPod and iOS devices (iPod touch, iPhone and iPad) as long as it is not DRM protected.
    Would y plase stop posting incorrect information.

    what the heck dude? That only works for ipod shuffles and not for ipod touch. U cant use itunes to copy non-purhased songs from ipod touch to pc. u have to use a 3rd party application like syncios to do so.

    Tunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
    Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
    Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
    You can re-download your available previous purchases.

  • How do I add my apps from my old iPod touch on my new one?

    I have a new iPod touch, but my apps from my old iPod touch won't load on my new one.  How do I do this?

    Perhaps the Version of the Apps on your Old Device are not compatible with your New Devices' iOS.
    Have you checked...?

    i-devices are intended to by synced with iTunes (iTunes --> device), not transfer things to iTunes.  For transferring songs from i-device to computer see commercial software utilities (with the exception of iTunes purchases).

  • How do you update your Ipod touch with out losing all my apps, music, movies, and pics?

    How do I update my ipod touch with out losing all my apps,music,pics ect?

    Just do the update on your syncing computer. All the items should be in your iTunes library or, for synced photos, on the computer.  The items will be synced back to the iPod during a latter stage of the update.

  • How can I migrate data from an old MBA to a new one without having access to the screen of the old one? The screen of the old MBA is damaged !

    How can I migrate data from an old MBA to a new one without having access to the screen of the old one? The screen of the old MBA is damaged !

    If your "older" MBA has a Thunderbolt port then it isn't that old. See Target Disk Mode about how it's used. Note that without a monitor you won't be able to tell from the screen when it has fully started, and if it succeeded in starting in TDM. If it did, then the hard drive should appear on the Desktop of your new computer. You can then access it to transfer your files. You can even use Migration Assistant or any backup utility to transfer data. Just don't try to transfer system files.

  • Can I sync app data from iPad to iPod touch?

    I have a 3G iPad, to which I have downloaded a translation app called Jibbigo.
    I'm going on a missions trip next month, and there will be no internet there, so I need to be able to use the app in offine mode.
    This app can be used offline by downloading translators.
    I have an English/Spanish translator downloaded on my iPad, and all works fine.
    I also have a 4G iPod touch.
    I downloaded the Jibbigo app (and it works fine online), but have not been able to download the English/Spanish app onto it (in order to be able to use it offline)
    I can find no support from the company.
    Would there be any way to be able to sync the data (offline Span/Eng translator) from my iPad?
    I can't do a whole restore from backup, since the iPod touch is only 8 GB, where the iPad is 32 GB.
    Ideas?

    - If the is an iPad 1 then you should be able to restore the iPod for the iTunes backup of the iPad 1 provided that you delete/remove from the iTunes library all media that was on the iPod like app, music and videos except the one app.
    - You can't restore the 4G iPof fro a backup made on onother device if the other device has a higher iOS version.
    - What hapens when you try to download the app on thie iPod? ( English/Spanish app)?
    Is the app compatible with iOS 6? Maany now require iOS 7 but yo may be able to download the last compatible version by:
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • Where can I download iTunes 10.1 so I can sync my old iPod touch with my G4 running 10.5.8

    Where can I download iTunes 10.1 so I can sync my old iPod touch (4.2.1) with my G4 running 10.5.8 ?
    I have not found a link on the Apple support site. although there do seem to be links to download many older versions of iTunes.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi varjack,
         Thank you for your suggestion. For a number of reasons I choose not to upgrade to iTunes 6.3. As this G4 is running slow (it's over eleven years old) I have made a decision to avoid any software upgrades on my 'legacy' applications.Not only will any new software strain the resources of the G4, but I do not think it a good idea to put a lot of features into my machine that it is not capable of utilizing. The iPod touch (I have been prompted by iTunes) will communicate with my G4 if I have iTunes 10.1. That is the solution I continue to seek.
         As far as the iTunes Store goes, I do not use it. One reason is that my iPod touch cannot run many of the new Apps (I'm also unable to find legacy Apps, though I haven't tried lately) and I'm not going to run out and buy a new device from Apple so I can. I just don't care enough.
    Thanks
