  • What settings does my ipod need to be on in order to transfer content to a new computer

    I am trying to transfer ipod content to a new computer using ipod.  It's not working
    and I am at wit's end.  I have tried using the instructions on the Apple website.  I
    have also tried the Tunes Plus softward.  I go through all of steps correctly, I think,
    and nothing happens.  I don't think I have a problem with iTunes so maybe it
    could be my ipod.  Can anyone help?

    Airplay always adds confusion in my view as it's not the only way the device works.
    AppleTV can play content from several sources
    1 - Your local iTunes library - iTunes must be running/computer on for you to be able to browse the library database under the Computers column and pull the media to the AppleTV for playback using itunes as the helper app.
    2 - You can 'push' compatible media and content of some iOS apps to AppleTV from iPads, iPhones, iPod Touch and using Airplay from itunes (the only desktop app enabled for Airplay in OS X or Windows).  Airplay from itunes generally only gives different results with music whereby equaliser, enhancement and cross fade settings are applied before sending the audio whereas 'pulling' using AppleTV menus does not add these effects.  Also Airplay from itunes is one method to play Audible audiobooks using AppleTV as a 'speaker'.
    3 - In some countries past itunes purchases (excluding movies currently) can be played directly from the internet (iCloud service) though clearly if you have a slow or capped internet connection, playing from your localitunes library would give better performance.

    Transfer your iTunes library from the computer to which the device was previously synced.
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    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.

  • HT1848 how do I transfer my ipod content to a new computer

    How do I transfer my iPod content to a new computer?

    The link that brought you here tells you how, as far as Apple has designed it.
    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • I have a new computer from my father that already has his iphone content on it.  what do i need to do to switch my phone over from my old computer to the new one and have the new computer sync MY contacts and content to the new computer without erasing

    i have a new computer from my father that already has his iphone content on it.  what do i need to do to switch my phone over from my old computer to the new one and have the new computer sync MY contacts and content to the new computer without erasing my contact lists and purchased apps?

    okay from reading posts it seems if I transfer my backed up info from my old comp to the new one and erase my dad's phone's back up i could reset my phone and it would transfer all my old data back onto the phone, be linked to the new computer and i could proceed.  Where do i find the backed up info from my phone?

  • Want to transfer songs and pics to new computer without old one

    My old computer, somethings really wrong with the drivers, and it doesn't recognize my ipod or any usb device (we have given up trying to fix it, we've tried like everything, including reinstalling windows, therefore deleting all of my songs and itunes and everything. But the problem persists, and I can't even charge my ipod because its not recognized.)
    So I bought a new laptop, and I want to transfer the songs to my new computer. Is that possible without using my old computer? and how do I do it? All the songs that I want to transfer are already on my ipod (at least I think that are, i can still listen to all of my songs on my ipod if I charge it with someone else's computer...and none of them are from the itunes store). What steps do I need to take to transfer them and is there a risk of all of my songs being deleted for some reason during transfer?
    Help me please! and if you can't help me, is there any way I could email a tech support person who could?

    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

    iPod2PC Windows Only

    iDump Windows Only
    iRepo Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    There are various programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. If you search the internet you can find more:
    iPodPhotoCopy Windows only
    CopyPodPhoto Windows only
    Tansee iPod Transfer Photo Windows only
    iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
    If you have full resolution copies of the photos on the iPod have a look here: Apple Knowledge Base article - Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod
    Finally, If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7 installed hold down the Control and Alt keys (or Shift + Ctrl keys in older versions). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes 7 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
    Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod

  • HT3819 I have a new apple MacBook Pro. All my music is on my old computer and on my I-Pod. Can I use home sharing to transfer my music onto my new computer?

    I have a new apple MacBook Pro. All my music is on my old computer and my i-pad. What is the easiest way to transfer my music onto my new
    computer?

    apps
    If you have an iPod touch or iPhone with iOS 4 or later software, or an iPad, you can use iTunes to transfer files between your computer and an app on your device that supports file sharing.
    You might want to do this if, for example, you want to save files you create on your device to your computer, or take files with you so you can use them when you’re away from your computer.
    You don’t need to sync your device to transfer files, but your device needs to be connected to your computer.
    For information about supported apps, see the documentation for your apps.
    Hide
    To transfer files from your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad to your computer:
    Connect your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
    In iTunes, select your device (below Devices), and click the Apps button.
    Below File Sharing, from the list on the left, select the app on your device that you want to transfer a file from.
    From the list on the right, select the file you want to transfer, and click “Save to.”
    In the window that appears, select the destination where you want to save the file, and click Choose.
    The file is saved to the selected destination on your computer.
    SImport music and video already on your computer
    If you have audio or video files on your computer, you can import them into iTunes so that they appear in your iTunes library.
    Hide
    Here are ways to add items from your computer to your iTunes library:
    Drag a file or folder from the Finder to the iTunes window.
    If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
    In iTunes, choose File > “Add to Library,” locate a file or folder, and then click Choose.
    By default, iTunes places a copy of each audio file in the iTunes folder (Home/Music); the original file remains in the current location. For information about adding an alias to the file (instead of creating a copy), see Add items to your library without copying them to your iTunes folder.

  • Due to a divorce all my music is on my iTunes and iPod. I had to buy a new computer and want to transfer my Library to the new computer. How can I do this without using an external drive and use new computer just like I do the old one? Thanks.

    Due to divorce, all my music is on my iTunes and iPod. I have had to buy  a new laptop and want to transfer the library to the new computer before deauthorizing the old one. I dont want to have to use an external drive every time I want to listen to my music. How can I do this and have the same basic iTunes setup as before? HELP!

    You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
    iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year.  It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you.  Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices.  See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

  • I have an older Ipod shuffle with many songs loaded on it. How can I transfer these songs to a new computer since the old computer is no longer available

    I have an oder Ipod shuffle with many songs loaded on it. How can I transfer ths songs to a new computer since the old computer is no longer available?

    I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

  • Can't upload iPod Classic contents onto a new computer

    The PC that I had paired with my iPod Classic died.  I can't figure out how to upload the iPod's contents onto a new computer.  Is this possible? 
    I also put a new CD on my Mac that won't sync with the iPod Classic.
    What am I doing wrong?

    I think the problem could lie with the sharing of the iTunes account. In itunes on your computer, under "Store", click "Authorize this computer" and login it using your brothers itunes account. Now try syncing the Ipod again and doing a FACTORY RESTORE of it
