Syncing music from your ipod to a new computer and getting music from the new computer

I have an old ipod nano and I recently go a new mac book pro. I want to sync the music from the nano onto my mac book and then sync the music from my mac book on to my ipod. Please help

Do you have any ripped, non-purchased music? That is, music that you ripped off of CD's and imported into your iTunes library as opposed to buying from the iTunes Store. If you do not have any of this music, your solution is simple: connect your iPod to iTunes, then go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases from "[iPod name]". All of the music from your iPod will be transferred onto your MacBook. After that, sync your iPod to get the music that is on your MacBook and not on your iPod, on your iPod.
If you do have ripped music, however, you will have a much more difficult time. Is this the case?

How do I create a new account and get stuff from the old account to the new account

How do I create a new account and get stuff from the old account to the new account

There are instructions on this page for creating a new account : Set up an Apple ID in iTunes
Or if you don't want to give credit card details : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method
But you won't be able to transfer purchases from your old account to it, all content that you download from the store will remain tied to the account that downloaded it.

HT1420 Where is the store menu in iTunes. I just got a new computer. I disconnected the old computer and want to authorize the new one. There is no file menu or store menu anywhere I can see.

Where is the store menu in iTunes? I updated my computer and want to authorize it. I deauthorized the old computer (and probably my desktop at a different location, and want to authorize the new one. The help says that I need to clickon the store menu in iTunes. I do not see any store menu. I can access songs that I purchased a while back, but cannot download any new purchases. If I cannot get this worked out, how do I recoup my money for the new songs? Also, can I transfer the songs I purchased to another service? Brad

It's in the same spot on a Windows machine as well

HT4528 I have an iPhone 5 that has photos on it and it got wet and is not working. I also did not back up the photos. Is there a way to get the photos off the old iPhone 5 and get them onto the new iPhone 5?

Does anyone have any suggestions on if there is any way to get the photos off the one that had water damage and put them on the new iPhone 5?

Unless you had photostream activated there's no way to get those pictues back.

I have a new computer, and want to put the new music from there to my existing ipod (which has an existing library that I don't want to erase)

I have a new computer, with some new music on it in my Itunes Library. How do I put that new music from here onto my existing ipod (which has a ~1500 song library from an old computer which is no longer accesible, and which music I do not want to erase)?

I'm not trying to put the music from my old ipod onto my new computer!!!! I don't really want to do that!
I would like simply to see if there is a way to put the new music from my new computer onto my old ipod without erasing all my existing music that I have on there.

Upgraded from a nano to a touch..How do I switch/sync the new touch and get rid of the nano?

Upgraded from a nano to a touch. How to I switch the two on my computer to erase the nano, and use only the touch. I dont want it to think it belongs to someone else. But I dont want to start all over and lose the music. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Just sync the media from your iTunes library to the iPod touch.
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar.
On the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Syncing your iPod....>Sync You Device and follow the instructions.

I'm getting a new iPod touch 4G to replace my old 1st gen. pod. How do I get iTunes to get rid of my old iPod and recognize the new iPod and can I sych the new pod and get all of the content on it from my old pod?

Hi-
Oops. looks like I hasked the whole question in the headline, but... How does this work? When I connect my new pod to iTunes how do I get iTunes to recognize the new pod, disregard the old pod and transfer my content to my new pod? Also, I have a G5 that runs 10.4.11 OS. Will the new pod synch to this computer running this old software yet. Apparently, I have to "climb the mountain" to find a copy of Leopard for G5 and I apparently cannot run Snow Leopard. What are the needs or restrictions for synching a 4th Gen iPod touch?
Thanks-
DMitz

The 4G iPod needs at least OSX 10.5.8 on a Mac. You are right that the G5 can't use OSX 10.6 or later. Apple will sell you a 10.5.8 disk but you have to call them since it is not listed in their on-line store. Price is $129.
For 4G specs:
System requirements
USB 2.0
iTunes 10.1 or later6
Mac: Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
PC: Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional (SP3) or later
Broadband Internet access required; fees may apply.

Got a new PC and transferred everything to the new library. HOwever, my podcasts don't show up. Any idea how to get my podcasts from my iPad to my new iTunes library? Thank you!

I got a new PC and set up my iTunes library. Everything transferred from my iPad--music, apps, books. HOwever, my podcasts did not. Any idea how to transfer all of my podcasts from my Ipad to my new iTunes library? Thank you very much. :-)

If the entire iTunes folder was copied from the old computer to the new computer, then it simply works.
You can also try unsubscribing from the podcast and then re-subscribing.
There is no option to transfer media from an iDevice to a computer.

My HD on my pc just recently went down. I had to buy a new HD and reinstall windows on the new HD. I am running a 64 bit system, and have installed itunes (x64). itunes wont recognize my phone. I have done all troubleshooting tutorials. HELP!

I just had to replace the HD on my system. I am running a x64 system and have installed the correct version of iTunes. ITunes will not recognize my phone since the new install. I have went online and followed all of the troubleshooting guides on Apple support. No good. I have uninstalled and installed iTunes several times. I have even tried reinstalling windows. I also get an error message when I start up Itunes that reads " The registry settings used by the itunes drivers for importing and burning cd's and dvd's are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other cd burring software. Please reinstall ITunes. I am so frustrated, I know there has to be a solution. I tunes works in all other senses, just not recognizing my Phone. I need help, my wife and I both have iPhones and need to sync..........
Please Help

You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

HT4061 I bought a new Iphone and when I started the new one, the old is disabled

I´ve just bought a new Iphone 5c, but I still have the 3G and would like to keep it running with a different tel number.
But as soon as I started the new Iphone the old one started to to accept my passcode and now is disabled.
How can I unlock and back it up.:?

Typically, when someone replaces an iPhone with a newer model and uses the same telephone number, the old iPhone's telephone connection is disabled, but the iPhone still works (nuch like an iPod Touch). Is that your situation?

HT6154 My Apple account password has been reset on the count that it says it's incorrect. I just made a new one after making a previous new one, and now it says the new one is incorrect after trying to log in to download an app. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED & C

My Apple account password has been reset a couple times due to Apple telling me my passwords are incorrect. I know they aren't because I have already had to change the password three times, and I keep record of my password. Yet, it continuously tells me my password is incorrect. I have just changed it, again, and now I cannot log into the itunes store to download an app because it's telling me my new password is incorrect.
I just bought the new iphone 5s today, so does this have anything to do with it? Please help, this is extremely frustrating.

Need to Resume download to complete the ongoing Process.
Last Resort, put the iPhone in DFU mode (Google How to do that). Connect in iTunes. Follow on-screen prompts to Restore. All Data would be lost, if not backed up earlier.
To save the photographs you may have to use third party software. Google is your friend.

How do I get features to show up in general settings like iCloud and FaceTime? I also can't turn on location services for Siri. I have the new iPad and have updated to the new operating system. Please Help Me.

SADLY not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
It doesn't/
if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

IPod won't turn on and gets stuck at the Apple logo

I have an 8gb and i think 3rd gen iPod. I've used the reset function on the general settings then reset all settings and media files. While resetting the iPod got a dead battery. Now it won't open after the Apple logo. Even when I connect it to the computer it only charges for a few minutes then it tries to open but it got stucked again at Apple logo. What should I do. Please help I got this from my friend and I don't want that person to be disappointed. T_T

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
