SYNCING MY NEW SONGS WITHOUT ERASING MY DATA AND SONGS

So here is the deal my pc have some issues during some months and is where i synch my music with my ipod touch, ipad and also ipod. Then i send it to service to format it and then my pc was new. And when i have already purchased some songs from the store and when i tried to sync again my devices  (ipod, ipad and ipod touch) I could but it asked me if i want it to sync and erase all my songs and data from my ipod in which i didnt want because i have around 100 songs wich i have already bought and downloaded in that same pc. So how can i sync my ipod, etc with another pc in this case with mine without deleting my data and songs?
Note: I have Windows 7

You can only sync to one computer/iTunes library. The iPod not thinks that this computer/iTunes library is a new one. Do the following to not lose anything

  • How can I sync with this library without erasing my data?

    The iPod "Sayira's iPod" is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this iTunes library? An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPod with the contents of this iTunes library.
    So, okay, here's my story: My laptop caught a virus, so i sent it to this guy who fixes computers, now that my laptop is fixed, everything is deleted from it. I didn't really mind this too much, but anyway I redownloaded iTunes to my new hardrive and then it said the following (posted above). My question is, how can i sync with this new library without erasing any data from my apps (such as games, photos, videos, music)? I REALLY don't want to lose this data!

    - Transffer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here.
    Copy music
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the IPod from that backup
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes does no include symec media like apps and music.

    Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

  • How to sync in new laptop without loosing existing data in ipad 2?

    Hi I just got new laptop and after connecting my existing ipad 2, it is hsowing message taht old library will get erased, if I countine. I do not want to loose all earlier data. How do I do ?

    Copy from this discussion:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
    1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
    That should do it.

  • Hard disk crashed: How to sync to new computer without erasing my iphone

    Hello,
    I have an Iphone 4 and Win XP laptop. My old notebook's hard drive crashed and I do not have any itunes backup. Now I have a new laptop and I want to start syncing my iphone to the new computer. I am concerned that as soon as I sync the phone to the computer, itunes will erase everything on the phone. What do I do?
    Thanks in advance,
    -CIL

    Download iTunes, log into your account(same one as the purchases on the iPhone).
    Plug the iPhone in-you will get warning about different computer, etc.-do not sync.
    Either use the prompt to transfer purchases or once the iPhone shows up in iTunes-right click on it and select transfer purchases.
    You will only be able to downloaded iTunes purchased content(songs, videos, apps)-nothing from CD or bought from other sources.

  • Set iPhone on a new PC without erasing current data

    I have recently bought a new PC and will need to transfer my iTunes database from the old PC to the new one. I know how to backup my current iTunes and how to copy it onto the new computer, but my issue is with making my iPhone recognize my new PC as its "home" computer, rather than the old one.
    The problem is that I manually manage my music on my iPhone and have painstakingly added the proper album art and grouped all albums as their proper collaborations directly on the iPhone. I know that when I move my library to the new PC, the iPhone will want to wipe itself clear and sync, but since the iTunes library does not have the same playlists or album art, I will have to start all over with adding the album art, recreating my playlists and re-categorizing all the albums.
    Is there a way to set up my iPhone to recognize the new PC and still retain all its current settings?
    I know that making my current iTunes library match the iPhone and then moving the database to the new PC could possibly work, but I would rather not have to spend the hours making iTunes match the iPhone, especially when that would change the information on the other iPods I have associated with my current PC.
    Many thanks!

    The answer is no, with a possible exception.
    If not, why would you need to re-add album artwork? This should remain with each song in your iTunes library.
    Since the iPhone does not support disk mode as with an iPod, this situation is a downside when manually managing music. The same would apply when restoring your iPhone with iTunes if needed or wanted.
    If you make use of iTunes playlists and sync instead of manually managing music, this situation would be avoided and the same when restoring your iPhone with iTunes if needed or wanted. Syncing provides more options and flexibility and avoids this problem compared to manually managing music.
    If you copy the iTunes folder on your old PC and all music imported into your iTunes library from another source besides the iTunes store is in your iTunes folder, and place the copy in the same location on your new PC with iTunes quit when doing so, you may be able to avoid this. I did with a new computer purchase, but I sync.

  • My old computer crashed and i just purchased a new laptop. How do i get my library on my new computer without erasing all the songs on my ipod?

    If ALL your music is on the iPod and it's ALL iTunes purchased content, you log into iTunes with your account on th enew machine and reverse sycn the music back.
    If the music is from cd's and other sources (not iTunes files) then ask over at iLounge what third party solution currently works. (can't recommond it here)
    I have some HUGE instructions here how to get your music off the old comptuer too:
    Recovery options:
    A: If Windows isn't booting:
    You need to boot the computer from a "recovery disk or USB" that has a operating system on it and a graphical user interface to transfer files from your boot drive to a external drive.
    I suggest using the Easy USB Installer to install Ubuntu 10.10 onto a 2-4 GB USB key.
    http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
    or
    burn a ISO of Ubuntu 10.10 or PartedMagic to a cd-r with ImgBurn or Win 7 right click and burn
    You can use Disk Utility in OS X to select the ISO and burn to cd/dvd as well.
    Once you have it installed, consult this page for your BIOS boot key to hold to get into the BIOS.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/a/biosaccess_pc.htm
    Plug the USB into the back (if possible) of the computer, connect the external drive and enter the BIOS, set the USB (or CD) as first boot and SAVE.
    Boot off the USB/CD and "Try Ubuntu/Run from disk" DON'T INSTALL. (Parted Magic loads into RAM and ejects CD)
    Once in, go under the menu Places > Computer and transfer your files to the external drive just like you would in Windows, drag and drop.
    (If using Parted Magic double click on the Mount Drive left icon twice, use the two GUI windows to transfer files to external drive, unmount drives, log out/quit in the lower left corner menu option)
    B: If the computer hardware isn't working, but the drive might still work:
    You'll have to remove the power cord and manually extract the hard drive. This might result in some damage.
    There is a powered IDE/SATA to USB adapter for sale online for $20 that you can take that internal hard drive and use it like a external drive to access your files from another Windows machine.
    C: If your iTunes content is deleted...
    It might be recoverable if it hasn't been overwritten yet by fresh data. Undelete software works by reading the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, not what the OS says.
    You need to use undelete software pre-installed before the iTunes content was deleted, or while on a bootable cd/USB and a external drive to transfer the recovered files.
    You can also install undelete type software on a new machine and USE STEP B above to "undelete" the files and recover them directly to the new computer.
    You can't install undelete software or recover files to the same drive your attempting to recover from or it overwrites the deleted data.
    D: If the hard drive doesn't work and...
    The data isn't worth spending $2000-$3000 in a ATTEMPT at platter dissection recovery, then your finished
    If the data on the drive was encrypted, data recovery efforts may be futile, unless it's a encypted file and you transfer it successfuly and have the password to de-crypt it.
    E: If you have a "iDevice" with any content
    It can be synced back into iTunes, check at iLounge what third party software works reliably now and for your version.
    (Once you log into your iTunes account, you can sync ONLY iTunes purchased content back from a iDevice)
    Third party software can recover just about all the items on a iDevice, regardless of it's origin. (can't recommend such software here)
    F: If any of the above is too hard, or the data is of "critical importance"
    Then seek professional computer or forensic level recovery services.
    Get help from someone who has done this sort of thing repeatly and can almost guaranty 100% results.
    There is Linux software that can "rip" all data off a iOS device if that level of attention is needed, seek a professional service.
    Hope this helps in your data recovery efforts.
    Please, backup your data, it's the only thing us IT professionals can't recover.

    Most Windows users don't.
    Purchase an external hard drive and use the backup software that comes with it to backup files from your computer.
    Buy TouchCopy and install it on your new computer, connect your old iPod and transfer your songs to your computer.

    Please help

    The iPhone can be synced to one and only one computer at a time. Before you "marry" it to your new computer, be sure your new computer contains all the old computer's information. When you sync the iPhone to a new computer, it will be erased first. Then, whatever is on your iTunes Library will be synced to the iPhone.
    Read: iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    You can also copy its previous backup from the old computer to the new one, then "restore from backup".
    From iTunes: About iOS backups
    Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
    The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.

    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.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.
