    Trying to transfer ipod to new computer. It is telling me to autharize computer. Had another ipod on same account, it gone now. Don't have password or any info about it. What do I do?

    The password is for your iTunes account. Not for your old iPod. Enter your Email and password will give you access to all the music you bought from iTunes.  If you forget it then I dont know how to help you there guess your SOL.

  • My computer died suddenly. Can I transfer Ipod to New Comput

    Hi!
    My computer died all of a sudden and all my music (files, programs etc.) are gone. Gone. Gone. No backups for music. I bought a new Toshiba laptop and just downloaded iTunes. But now what am I supposed to do? My iPod mini has about 400 songs in it. If I connect my iPod mini to my new computer/iTunes, what would happen? Would my iPod mini and new iTunes (zero songs) try to synchronize? Would I lose all my music in my iPod? Is there any way to transfer music from my iPod mini to my new iTune library? B/c my computer died all of a sudden, I just didn't have time to transfer music files to iPod mini hard drive(? or whatever it is that we need to do when we want to transfer music to a new computer.) Please help me!

  • Need to transfer music onto new computer, old computer crashed

    I need to transfer my iTunes music onto my new Mac Book Pro...my old PowerBook had a MAJOR crash and is completely done (and yes, I took it to Apple, it's pretty much hosed - won't even boot up). Luckily, I've got all of my music stored on an external hard drive, and I have a copy of my library file as well. Is there a way to transfer this onto my new Mac and still be able to keep my old ratings and playlists? Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Never mind...I figured it out, just replaced the new Library file with my old one, and all seems fine.

  • Cannot transfer ipod to new computer

    I have a new computer trying to import my ipod playlist to it. It keeps coming up saying that some music cannot be transferred. Also, on the left side of itunes, "devices" is not coming up so I don't know if it is actually reconizing my ipod shuffle. Please help. I have tried to hook it up to different USB ports and turning my shuffle on and off.

    iTunes will not let you copy songs from the iPod to computer for copyright reasons (to prevent music theft)
    Here are some other options...

  • Lost old email and need to transfer music to new computer

    My old email linked to an old itunes account was hacked and I no longer have access. I can't reset my password so i can't authorize my new computer to use the old music purchased. is there anything I can do?

    With respect to backup, you were on the right track.  And I am not going to fault you for iCloud , but it is not really a system level backup facility.  And I would say the lightning comes under natural disaster.  Off-site can be taking a backup disk to a friend/family/office at work/bank safety deposit box, but somewhere that is not next door and is not in the same flood plain.  Or it can be a true cloud backup service (CrashPlan, Mozy, Carbonite, SugarSync, etc...).  NOTE: CrashPlan can be used in "Free" mode to backup across the net to a computer you control, or a friend/family members computer.  Just arrange to locate some storage there.  You can reverse the favor by hosting their CrashPlan backups on your system.
    The new IMac has no firewire slot so it must be by USB . What about SATA?
    You should have USB3, which is vary fast, and USB3 enclosure are not very expensive.  I would go that route.  If you want, you can get a Thunderbolt to Firewire adaptor, but I would only do that if you have some Firewire drives hanging around your house you wish to use.  SATA is the cabling between the enclosure controller and the disk itself.  Macs do not use eSATA, so that is not an option.  Besides USB3 is way faster than your disk itself.
    Bear with me. My grandson is helping with this. I am too old for it.
    Dude!  While I don't have any, my "Younger" sister is a "Grandmother"!  You can do anything if you want to.  And you seem to be doing very will.
    NOTE:  If the old Mac disk is "Toast", hopefully you can put the LaCie disk into the USB enclosure and recover using that.

  • Old Hard drive crashed, need to transfer music from iPod to new computer

    Hello. My old hard drive crashed and I bought a new computer. Unfortunately I did not back up any files from my old computer and lost all files including iTunes music. All I have is the music from my iPod. I would like some help or if anyone knows anything about how to transfer the music from my iPod to my new computer. I guess my new computer is not the original authentic one in the itunes system and will not let me exchange music from my iPod to new computer. I would appreciate help if anyone has ideas. Thank bunches.

    Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. 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
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
    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 read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only

    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    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
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • Computer crash - how to use ipod to transfer songs to new computer?

    DD's computer crashed last week - now has a new computer. We need to get songs from 20 G color/photo ipod onto new computer. Apple help pages only seem to give you options using your old computer to set ipod to transfer music. Can anyone direct us to information on getting ipod linked to new computer and transfering music over?

  • I am trying to transfer my playlists and purchases from ipod to new computer.  I click on the "transfer purchases" and my computer is authorized but nothing happens.  I can't sync and playlists wont show up

    I have a new computer with windows 8 and i installed new version of itunes.  I transferred all of my music from old computer using jump drive.  When I connect my ipod to new computer, I can't transfer purchases, sync, get my playlists from ipod onto computer and can't get my pictures from ipod to computer.  My computer is authorized.  I don't know what else to do.

    Click here, follow the instructions, and choose Transfer Purchases in the File menu.

  • I try to sync my nano and get:  the ipod cant be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the items library (need 100MB) - I have a new computer?? can you help me understand this message: what to do?

    I try to sync my nano and get:  the ipod cant be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the items library (need 100MB) - I have a new computer?? can you help me understand this message: what to do?

    Hello pryan1012,
    What this message means is that you have more music in your itunes library than there is free space in your ipod.
    I had this same issue at one time. This is what helped me put my music on the ipod. I used manually manage.

  • Trying to transfer music and vids(30g)ipod to new computer? Somebody help

    just recently got new computer, I have a 30g ipod,I'm trying to transfer songs from Ipod to new computer without erasing anything. Have about 1900 songs, half is from Itunes and the other half is from CD'S. Very fearful of erasing everything, someone help me out me.

    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    Find out how to do that here.
    How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
    For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc) try one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

  • Need help re-synching iPods with new computer and getting iTunes to...

    Need help re-synching iPods with new computer and getting iTunes to recognize our iPods (it doesn't even recognize them when they're plugged in).
    Hubby wiped my harddrive for me, so now I need to get everything back in proper places. I'm using windows XP and installed iTunes once again (I believe it's version 8). I also installed all of my iTunes songs. Now I need to know where to go from here. We have 3 iPods and I need to get them all synched once again. I know how to create different libraries for each of us, but I can't figure out how to get our songs back into our iTunes libraries. When I open iTunes and plug in an iPod, iTunes doesn't even show that an iPod is plugged in.
    What do I do now to get each of our iPods synched with our own libraries?
    TIA
    Brandy

    Thanks Zevoneer. The "Restart ipod service" worked and itunes is now recognizing my ipod! Hooray!
    Okay, now how do I synch all of our ipods with our individual libraries (I don't want all of my kids' songs and vice versa)? We each have hundreds of songs on our ipods that we don't want to lose.
    Thanks again!
