Syncing with a different computer after the death of the first?

*How do I sync my ipod with another computer?*
I've searched the internet and they're all about saving the songs from your ipod and putting them on another computer, but I don't care about that much.
All of my songs were backed up, so syncing with this library is almost the same as my other one.
Anyway, so my other compuyter died and now when I click sync on this coimputer, my ipod does the whole "Do not disconnect" thing, but the music on it stays the same.
Oh, and my ipod went through the wash, but that was like a month ago, and it synced fien with my other computer after it had dried.
Any help would be like really appreciated as this is frustrating me to pieces.
Thanks,
Amanda.

Whoa, sorry.
Found it myself.
My bad.

How to get my iPhone to sync with a new computer after the home computer crashes?

My iPhone was synced with my work computer. That computer crashed now I am not able to get any other computer to recognize my iPhone, so it is not fully functional, as I can't add music, download large apps, etc. Please help!

Nothing happens, I only get the pop up window about transferring pics, so it obviously recognizes the plug-in, but in iTunes, nothing happens, my iPhione doesn't appear on the left side, so I can't snyc it:(

HT1212 How do I unlock a disabled ipod that was synced with a different computer?

How do I unlock a disabled ipod on a Macintosh computer that was synced with a different computer?

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Sync with a different computer without erasing?

I am getting really frustrated trying to figure out how to resync with my old computer. Basically, I had a MBA but it had to be returned. Now, I am trying to sync with my old computer but it insists on erasing. If nothing else, I am fine with that as long as it recreates my folder layout, which it wont. There has to be a way to change computers without losing all my layouts.
Anyone?

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Why would I make a backup when I wasnt expecting to lose the MBA?
Because things fail!
iCloud backups do not contain your media. If you have iTunes match, that's a different story entirely, and it behaves in a different way.
You can restore from your iCloud backup, which will bring back everything except your media. You will need to re-sync that from your computer.

Syncing with a new computer after deleting old library

This is SO frustrating! Only a few days into my iphone 3g and im running into problems. All right, so I got a new computer cause my ancient one had a virus. (note: I deleted itunes off my old computer) I redownloaded itunes got some songs and went to sync. Heres the message im getting "This iphone is synced with another library. Do you want to delete this iphone and sync with this library" Please HELP!! If I proceed will I be deleting everything on my iphone????
Thanks in advance. :I

In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with a single computer only.
If you proceed with syncing iTunes content with iTunes on another computer, you won't be deleting everything on your iPhone but you will be deleting all iTunes content that is currently available on your iPhone that was transferred to your iPhone from your ancient computer with a virus. Aren't there a number of antivirus programs available for a Windows PC?
Deleting the iTunes application from your computer does not delete your iTunes library. Your iTunes library is stored in the iTunes folder located in your My Music folder. Maintaining a backup of all important data on your computer including for your iTunes library stored on an external drive or some other media used for backup purposes only is important regardless the platform, but even more so with a Windows PC due to constant virus, adware, and spyware concerns.
iTunes includes an option to transfer content that was purchased/acquired from the iTunes Store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for content that was purchased/acquired from the iTunes Store only.
With your iPhone connected to the new computer and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.

Syncing with a different computer

So I activated my iphone with my g4 and within two weeks, for work related reasons, I had to get a new Macbook. Now it is not syncing with the new computer. How can I get the phone to sync with the new computer?

A little more info can help us help you. You say its not syncing with your new computer. When you connect the iPhone to your new computer, does it recognize the iPhone? Does it show up on iTunes? Do you get an error message? Did you install the latest version of iTunes and Quicktime on your new computer?

Help with iPhone 4 back up/syncing with a different computer

I have an iPhone 4, however the laptop that I used for my iTunes and syncing my iPhone etc was stolen a few weeks ago.
My problem is that I want to wipe my iPhone because my memory is being taken up by deleted apps that I do not know how to get rid of. I will happily wipe my iPhone to sort this problem but I want to keep all my pictures/music etc. Is it possible to back up my photos/music onto a different computer without everything syncing and being replaced with the files that are on this computer?
Thanks

I know this is tough but you may have to Restore as New...
As to Losing your Photos... the iPhone is not a Storage Device...
If you Regularly Sync your iPhone... your Photos, Contacts, Etc.. will be on your computer...
So after a Restore as New they can be Re-synced to the phone...
You are probably aware of all this and it doesn’t help your particular situation...
But... if you don’t have a Backup you can use I don’t know what else to suggest...
maybe someone else has a better suggestion...

Cannot drag/drop music from iTunes onto iPhone (synced with a different computer)

I have a library of music already on my iPhone that was synced with another computer. I am working on a different computer and bought some music that I thought I could just drag and drop into my iphone from iTunes. I have read that you need to check manually manage music but when I do that it says it will erase everything on my phone. I don't want to do that because I have music on my phone that isn't in the library I'm using. Is there anything else I can do?

you iphone does not work like a regular ipod, where you can drag and drop music, you must sync it with itunes. plug it into your computer, click on the icon that is labeled iphone. when you do this there is a section on the top that says music. click on that, then you can select playlists and artists, etc. then click apply. it should work then

HT1535 I own an iPhone4, an iPod 3rd generation and an iPad 2. I use the same iTunes library but unfortunately synced iPad with a different computer before syncing to my own. Do I risk losing the films/apps I've downloaded onto my iPad if I sync with my i

I don't want to sync what is on my iPod to my iPad. (I have a 32gb iPod but only 16gb on iPad. The iPod I use mostly for music.) I can't seem to add the films I have downloaded onto iPad to iTunes. If I could do that, I could erase them from iPad to create more storage.
This is intensely confusing, sorry.

Question.....
"I own an iPhone4, an iPod 3rd generation and an iPad 2. I use the same iTunes library but unfortunately synced iPad with a different computer before syncing to my own. Do I risk losing the films/apps I've downloaded onto my iPad if I sync with my iPod?"
Answer.....
Yes you will lose the films that you downloaded to the iPad when you sync with your own iTunes unless you transfer the purchases into your own iTunes library. Were these movies that you purchased? If so, you might be able to download them again for free. Do you have multiple computers that you sync from or is this someone else's purchased content?
You can select whatever you want to sync to all of your devices in iTunes, you do not have to sync the same content to all device.

How do I sync two ipods with two different IDs on the same computer?

How do I sync two ipods with two different IDs on the same computer?

Simply connect them. One computer with one iTunes can manage multiple devices. They're tracked by S/N but you might wish to assign them unique names so that you can track them yourself.
The only minor issue is app updating and purchases while on the computer. It's necessary to log out and back in to the "correct" ID. Much easier to do these things from the iPods.

Why you can't redownload? Don't you have the Apple ID that used to download these apps?
You can "transfer purchaces" by right click on your iphone in iTunes but i guess you computer is not authorized and will ask you to authorize with Apple ID. Try it.
