TS1382 I have a new computer, how do I sync my Ipod Classic to the new computer

I have a new Dell computer, how do I sync my Ipod Classic to the new computer

Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library.  If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library.  So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
Or better yet, if you still have access to the old computer, use one of the method described in this article copy everything from the old PC to the new one.

  • How do I sync my iPod Classic w/my new home desktop so I don't lose everything on my iPod?  My old computer didn't work, so I used my work laptop to purchase songs.  I burned them to CDs

    How do I sync my iPod Classic w/my new home desktop computer so I don't lose what's on my iPod?  My old desk was trashed.  Used work laptop to purchased iTunes. Burned to CDs and downloaded to new home computer.  Now can't sync w/iPod b/c it will erase all music on iPod and don't have back up of everything on iPod.

    It is a mix. Some came from I-Tunes and the rest from CD's. I have the I-Tunes songs in my I-Tunes account, but can't sync to add new somgs to my i-pod. I would also like to move all my music to my I-Phone.

  • HT1473 My daughter has a new computer, how do we transfer her ipod music to the new laptop.  Sync seems to want to delete it all

    Sorry the question was in the title.  A new laptop for christmas...I thought by downloading itunes to it when I plugged in the ipod it would just download the music to het itunes library as they are on the same apple id.  does not seem to be the case....is there an easy way or not?  It is a compaq CQ58 and has all the itunes up to date.

    Connect the new iPod to the computer she used to sync with the old iPod. The restore from backup. The apps and music have to be in the iTunes library to be restored to the iPod.
    For how to restore see the restoring topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    If the computer does not have her iTunes purchases they can be redownloaded by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    No I have a used laptop which an iPad was synched on him in the past
    I'm trying to sync the iPod on this laptop and getting a message that it can only be synced on 1 itunes library and asking me if I want to earse this one and sync with the local library
    Of course I don't want to do so.... I have all the music there.
    I must back this up and add some more music ASAP since it's my wife's job...
    I called the local Apple importer and was told it's not possible to do it, which seams completly rediculous...
    So what now? I can't use this any more? Can't back this up and can't download this music any where?
    I don't get Apple in this matter, it's completly wired.
    Is there any solution for that? Some external software?
    Please assist ASAP it's super important!
    Thanks

    Create a new library, either by launching iTunes with the Shift key held down or by creating a new Windows user account.

    You can transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    Most other stuff by the third-party programs discussed here:
    Best iPod to PC
    However, your app data such as saved games will be lost unless you have a backup file from your old computer.

    Hi Lechwe,
    I had this issue recently, due to changing HD for an SSD.
    In my case, since the library in my iPod was synced to the HD it was not syncing to the library in the SSD, though they were the same (had the same contents).
    I found there's this checkbox in iTunes > iPod > [Settings] Music, called "Sync Music". Mine was unchecked, I guess due to iPod being synced to the old library. I marked the checkbox and clicked then in Sync. iTunes asked me if I was sure I wanted to sync the iPod with the "new" library, i clicked yes, and the it started determining the song to sync. Since the library was essentially the same (just a couple songs more in the new one), it synced the couple new songs and that was it.
    Hope it helps!
    Regards,
    Awlo.

  • How do i sync my ipod touch to a new pc, as i can no longer get on my old laptop?

    How do i sync my ipod touch to a new pc, as i can no longer get on my old laptop.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
    Have you failed to do this?  not good.
    You can transfer itunes purchases form an ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You can enter a unique contact and calendar entry on the computer.  you should get the option to merge.
    You can import any pics taken with the ipod, and e-mail any pics synced to the ipod to yourself.
    The ipod is not a storage/backup device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which you sync.

  • How do i sync two different ipads to the same computer, but maintain two seperate list of apps?

    How can I sync two seperate ipads to the same computer without the apps from one ipad being loaded on the other?

    Do this for each device. You can do this with all iTunes content as well. Apps, music, photos, books, movies - everything. You can have unique content on all of your devices.
    You may also want to turn off auto sync so that you do not have to wait for the iPad to sync and then go back and make these changes.
    Launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices - check the box at the bottom.... Prevent iPods, iPhones ....
    Then set up your sync preferences like this using Apps as the example.
    Connect the iPad to the computer and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Apps Tab on the right.
    Click on all of the apps that you want to sync to that iPad
    Click on the Sync Apps Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    You may want to uncheck Automatically Sync New Apps under the Sync Apps list

  • My laptop died, how can I plug my ipod classic into a new pc with out losing all my music, over 10,000 songs?!

    my laptop died, how can I plug my ipod classic into a new pc with out losing all my music, over 10,000 songs?!
    Please help!

    Was your iPod previously set up to Manually Manage (where you dragged/dropped the music) or was it set to auto sync (where it started sycning as soon as you plugged it in.)?
    If it was set to Manual, you have no worries. Just continue on your way.
    If it was set to Auto, you will have to transfer your purchases or redownload them from the iTunes store.
    You're either going to have to get the other music back from the websites/CDs you got them from before or find an iPod ripping software program that will do it for you.

    You can sync with one and only one computer at a time.  Sycning to another will indeed erase the content from the ipod and replace with content from the new computer.
    You should copy everything from the old computer to the new one.
