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

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.

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.

Want to sync music from brand new computer as old one was damanged. says all my songs will be deleted. solution, please?

want to sync music from brand new computer as old one was damanged. says all my songs will be deleted. solution, please?

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

How do I use my Ipod/Ipad on a new computer after old one has broke without removing everthing from them

My laptop has recently broke and is not able to use in any way. I had an Ipod and an Ipad both connected to the itunes on this computer and have purchased a new laptop. However, after downloading itunes i tried to sync my devices with it but it told me that all my contents was going to be erased and could only be connected to one computer... I was wondering if there was any way of of keeping all of my data and allowing my new laptop to replace my old one in account of itunes? Any help will be most appricated !!!
Thanks

Hello again and sorry to bother you. I was hoping you could help me with iTunes 10.5. This update has been a pain. When I first installed it, my entire library was gone. Luckily, I saved the "iTunes Library" file before updating and copied it in place and my library appeared. But now the problem I'm having is that the iTunes can't find any of the "original" files, even though my iTunes Media file location has not changed (it's on an external network drive". When I click on the "Do you want to find the original file" I can find it in the appropriate folder. I checked the "Preferences" and under "Advanced" I re-mapped it to the appropriate location and already had the 2 boxes for iTunes organizing files checked. Then went to "File" and "Organize Library" and clicked the first check box and then got the "Copying Files" bar. When this was completed, I thought it would be able to find the original files. But I'm still getting the same error message about not being able to find the "original" files. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks again for your help.

How to transfer account/library to new computer after old one died?

My 4 year old Windows XP computer had a meltdown last weekend and the hard drive was re-set to original factory status - erasing tons of programs, data, settings etc that had accumulated over the years. Fortunately I have much of the C-Drive backed up and most data was moved some time ago to a network drive so all 4 of our household computers can access the same data. But some data, like Itunes and Outlook Calendar are stored by default on the C drive. I started restoring programs but concluded the computer still had stability issues and since I was overdue for a new one, got a new Windows 7 model. I still have the old one and it sort of works so I can copy files from it to the new one if needed. My Ipod Touch was synched recently and it is super valuable because i had a lot of info in my old computer's Outlook Calendar that I assume was also lost, but it is on my Ipod. How can I synch it safely onto the now bare Outlook on my new computer? Will the blank outlook synch my Ipod to blank? Can I rescue my 2500 song library and thousands of contacts?
Thanks for any suggestions!

... Anyway, all of my iTunes library on that machine is lost I suppose. I didn't have it synced to my phone at the time due to space issues, so I don't have a copy of the library anywhere except in a Time Machine backup. I don't want to restore this new MBA with the entire backup, only the iTunes library. Is it possible? Or can I just re-download the songs since this new iTunes account is set up in the same Apple ID?
Your iTunes Library is unrelated to your logic board, however, you will need to "authorize" your computer to play your iTunes purchased content since iTunes considers a new logic board a completely new computer (which it is).
If for some reason your iTunes Library was lost, of course you can restore it from Time Machine. You can also re-download your iTunes purchased music again since it is all linked to your Apple ID.
You won't be charged for what you already bought.

Impossible to update to new itunes -- after old one stops working and refuses to update

I'm trying to load a new version of itunes onto my wife's computer after the old one hasn't been able to update or even visit the music store. I tried following the recommendations from the site to delete (through control panel/add and delete programs) and was unable to successfully delete the older programs. The same goes for quicktime.
It was recommended that I delete the following programs on the apple site...
itunes
quicktime
apple software updater
apple mobile device support
bonjour
apple applications support.
being unable to delete these programs successfully, the installer halts and says I need to delete completely the old programs.
Any manual delete tips from you guys? The operating system is XP

What's the precise text of the error messages that you get when you try to uninstall applications please, dv?

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.

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
Apps can be downloaded again for free: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Is there a way to re-sync an iPad with a computer after the computer was rebuilt?

iTunes wants to wipe the device after I had to rebuild a laptop that was infected by a virus. Unfortunately, the virus may have affected iTunes as well so I had to reinstall it. I did log into my Apple ID Account and deauthorized all computers it was using and then reauthorized it but that didn't 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!

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

How do I license new computer after old one died?

All,
I have a 2007 MBP that had the video card recall (unbeknownst to me until after the fact, might I add). Last year, the video card went out without warning, and Apple says the only thing they can do is replace the Logic Board, but it definitely will not be covered under the extended recall warranty because the issue happened outside of the warranty date. Anyway, all of my iTunes library on that machine is lost I suppose. I didn't have it synced to my phone at the time due to space issues, so I don't have a copy of the library anywhere except in a Time Machine backup. I don't want to restore this new MBA with the entire backup, only the iTunes library. Is it possible? Or can I just re-download the songs since this new iTunes account is set up in the same Apple ID? Any help is appreciated!
