Syncing iPhone & iPad with new laptop after old one crashed.

The computer (Dell laptop) I had originally synced my iPhone & iPad with crashed. I have a Toshiba laptop that I authorized with my iTunes account but I cannot sync my devices. When plugged in I receive the message waiting for my old laptop to sync. Any suggestions?

Syncing my iPad with new PC after old one stolen

Hello.
I would like to add iTunes to my new PC and link my iPad and iPhone to it, however, I am worried that when I do, I will lose all of my purchased music and DLs. I do not have access to my old computer that I originally used to sync my devices with to change the sync option to manual.
Is this a lost cause and will I have to start all over again?
Thanks
Jade

Need to authorise new laptop after old one crashed. Have 5 computers already authorised and cannot wait until July for 12 month "Deauthorise all computers" to become available again. How can I authorise this new laptop?

Hello... I need to authorise a new laptop after my old one completely died (before I could deauthorise it!!). I have 5 computers already authorised and cannot wait until July for the 12 month "deauthorise all computers" option to become available again. Does anyone know how can I authorise this new laptop as one of the 5, in place of the old one? Any help gratefully received!

Go to one of the authorized computers and de-authorize it individually.
The one year limitation is ONLY for the de-authorize all option.

My ipod is not recognized on a new computer after old one crashed. I have painstakenly restored all songs and playlists. I deautorized all, and the reauthorized new computer. It won't sync.

My ipod is now recognized on a new computer after old one crashed. I installed itunes on the new computer, and have painstakenly restored all songs and playlists. I also purchased several new songs from the itunes stores. Now my ipod will not sync with the new computer. I deauthorized all computers, then reauthorozed the new one. My ipod still won't sync.

...after running diagnostics through itunes, itunes says "device not found" Seems there are a lot of others having this problem,and it seems to be related to new version of itunes. Apple should do something to fix this.

Sync iPhone with new computer after old one died

Hey,
My previous laptop (PC) motherboard died and I just recently brought a new laptop. I did not have a external hard drive or anything, so I lost everything from the laptop. Is there anyway that I can sync my iPhone to the new laptop and have everything, including the songs on the new computer? The new laptop is running Windows Vista.
Thank you in advance

The iPhone is not designed or intended to be a backup storage device.
When syncing an iPhone with an iTunes library on another computer, all iTunes content on the iPhone that was transferred from a different computer will be erased from your iPhone first, and the same applies to photos transferred to an iPhone via the iTunes sync process.
First you need to authorize your computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store only. With your iPhone connected to iTunes and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go go File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. If all 3rd party apps do not transfer to your iTunes library on your new computer, you can re-download the apps with iTunes on your computer and you won't be charged again for a purchased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the app that was used to purchase the app originally.
Before syncing contacts with a supported application on your computer, which can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007 including calendar events, or with the address book used by Windows Mail (Windows Contacts) for contacts only, enter one unique contact in the application on your computer - the same for a calendar event if you have Outlook 2003 or 2007 available. This will provide a merge prompt when syncing this data, which you want to select.

Syncing iPhone 4 with New Laptop

I recently bought a new laptop and would like to transfer the music from my iPhone 4 to iTunes on this new computer. How would I go about this? I've heard it's not possible to sync a device with more than one computer, but I'd really like to figure this out so that I don't have to start from scratch and re-download 2,000+ songs since I didn't purchase them through iTunes! Also, I don't know if it matters or not, but both my old and new computer are PCs. Thanks in advance!

Hi muneeb_s1,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Sorry that you lost your data through a HD crash and had to replace the HD. One of our other users posted a tip on how to sync an iPhone after you have replaced a HD.

Putting music onto new computer after old one crashed

i put my itunes onto my old computer, which crashed recently. now i have a new laptop and i need all my old music thats currently on my ipod, onto my laptop. how can i do this?

Apple doesn't support the transferring of music from your iPod to your iTunes. Only iTunes to iPod. So to do this you will need to download a third party program that will help copy your music from your iPod back to your computer, or there are a couple manual methods you can check out.

If you iPod is set to automatically update and you plug it into iTunes, a message will pop up telling you that your iPod is linked to another library. It will ask if you want to sync and replace all your music. Make sure you hit NO. If you sync with an empty library, then your iPod will also end up empty, because when it syncs it makes an exact copy of your library.
Goodluck, hope something works for ya

Transfer library to new computer after old one crashed

My old PC crashed and the data partition has completely been erased so now all of my music only exists in my iPod. I have a new laptop and would like to transfer my library to the new computer, however I'm worried that it may just erase the music if I just plug it into the new computer. The current setting is on auto-synch and not manual. Can I just install iTunes onto my new computer, set it to manual, and plug in the iPod? Suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions, Tim!
I'll answer your question in just a minute but before doing so I'd like to say that I hope you take this as an opportunity to learn a very important lesson: Back up your iTunes library as soon as you can after resolving this situation because right now you are only one glitch of your iPod away from losing your music entirely.
Many people come to the Discussions having lost their music in just such situations and, believe me, it's not a happy time for anyone.
If you place any importance on your playlists and the data they depend on, you will want to include your iTunes Library files in your back-up regimen as well.
Anyways, that's the lecture. The answer to your problem should be found in this post:

Good Luck! But once your music is back on your computer, remember:
Your music is valuable - please back it up!

Moving to new computer after old one crashed

My problem is similar to this one (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2508342&tstart=45), but the old computer crashed and I don't have access to any of the old content or iTunes library. When I plugged the iPod in to the computer, I told iTunes to transfer my iTunes purchases from the iPod to the library and it looks like it did. But now it won't sync. I get the message "This iPod is synced to another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this iTunes library?"
I don't particularly want to erase because I have content on the iPod from non-iTunes sources, such as ripped CDs that I haven't re-ripped yet to the new computer. Do I have any choice? Did I do the right thing in the first place or should I start over somehow?

It's pretty old -- a 3rd Gen Nano. I just realized that I have a copy of what is probably most of the music on an external USB drive, probably along with the other files associated with the library, but I haven't had a chance to check yet. If not, then the only copy of everything is on the iPod.
But the problem is more getting it to sync, although if I find that I have all of the music, I could just let it erase the iPod and refresh it.

Sync iPod to new computer after old one crashed

My MacBook recently crashed. :(
I had my iPod Touch 2G synced to it. I know how to sync my iPod to the new computer and keep iTunes Purchased content but what I don't know is how to sync it and not lose any songs, pictures etc. that were not downloaded from iTunes. Can someone please help?
Thanks in Advance!

P.S. I do have a backup of my iTunes library because we were able to save my data from the old Mac but it was not fully up-to-date because I had begun to download most of my things over the air without ever plugging in to iTunes.

Make sure your newly set up MacBook is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
Pictures and other data can be saved following this article: How to back up your data and set up as a new device

How to sync iPhone to new computer after old computer crashes?!

I get the process to sync an iphone with a new computer when you can copy the files from your old computer, but what about when the old computer is no longer working? I have my music & photos backed up, so I'm more concerned about contacts and apps. Any ideas how to get at least my contacts off my phone before syncing with the new computer? Thanks!

When I synced my iPad with my laptop, it did not transfer three videos I recorded on my Sony Cybershot camera. Why didn't it do this?

I responded to your first post and assumed that you didn't have a computer. If I was wrong, I apologize for misreading your question.
Did you totally erase the device and not restore from a backup? If you totally erased the device and set up as new, the passcode should not be on the device.

Do you have all of your content in that computer's iTunes library ? There are some instructions on this page for syncing to a new computer : Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
And if you have music on your device that wasn't purchased from iTunes and you don't have a copy of it on your new computer's iTunes then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy it back (iTunes will only copy iTunes downloads back from a device) : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

I recently had to get a new windows computer, old one crashed. My tech guy got all my itunes library over to the new one, and all my songs are there. However, some won't play and ask me for the password for the apple id they were purchased under. 2 of these ids are obsolete and I have no access to those accts. The songs all played on my old computer without prompting me for a password.
Any ideas how I can get around this hassle and get them all to play? We're talking about 800 songs that are being obstinate. The new computer is authorized under my "new" Apple id, which I have used for years.
