I can't get my ipod to sync with new laptop. I have tried to erase and sync, I have authorized new laptop, and still can't get new songs on ipod. Help

I had to purchase a new laptop, since my old one crased. I downloaded iTunes, and my library came up. I followed the directions given, synced ipod, authorized computer and was given a pop up that stated 25 of my songs could not be transferred.Go to Store, authorize computer and resync. Which I did. When I authorize computer another pop up appears and it states this computer is already authorized. I am getting really frustrated. I have gone to the Apple store several times, had to make appointments as they were to busy to help me then. I show up for appointments to either be told, no appointment appears in their schedule, or they are running over an hour late. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Why can't the songs be transferred to the device? Is it because they are not authorized? Were these 25 tracks purchased/downloaded with the same account you have used to authorize the PC/new iTunes library?

IPod will not sync with new laptop

Alright everybody, got a tough one here I can't seem to figure out. I have a 3rd generation iPod touch. I had it synced with my now secondary desktop that has my library and everything on it. I am now trying to get my iPod switched over fully to my new primary laptop. I am running iTunes 10.5 and iOS5. The iPod will sync fine with the desktop but when I try and sync and erase with my laptop absolutely no music will transfer over. I can click the device tab on the left and look at music and they are all grayed out as if they are ghost files. Does anybody have any suggestions? For the record I have tried to restore the iPod and set it up as a new iPod on the laptop but the music files still will not sync. I can go back and plug it in to my desktop and everything syncs fine. Thanks in advance.

Is your new computer authorized with the same account? About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
Did you try to transfer purchases and back up manually before your sync?
Connecting to a new computer will erase your device during the first sync. But you can use the manual backup to restore from afterwards. Make sure to have at least onwe contact and event listed on that computer as well, syncing to an empty address book will delete contacts and calendars on the ipod.
Also check your restrictions, to make sure app installation is allowed.

Let iPhone sync with new laptop instead of old computer

I have a new laptop and copied my entire iTunes from the old computer to my new laptop, so I have exactly the same iTunes on my new laptop. My iPhone syncs with the old computer, but because I have a new laptop I want to sync it with the iTunes in my new laptop. but when I connect my iPhone to the laptop, it just doesn't show my iPhone anywhere or reacts on it at all. It's just like nothing happens when I connect it to the laptop. How can I make it sync with the new laptop?

You can create a fresh backup on your computer: Disable auto-sync when an ipod/iPhone is connected under preferences>devices in iTunes(under the edit menu if using Windows). Connect your phone, right-click the phone in the left device pane and select "Backup". Before doing so, make sure your computer is authorized: Store>Authorize this Computer.

Sync with new laptop

I had to get a new laptop, how do I sync my iPhone with my new laptop since my old one is not working anymore?

Plug it in and sync it.
The current itunes content and pics will be erased and replaced with content from the new computer.
Also, if you sync to a blank computer, then your contacts and calendars will be erased.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
If you enter one unique contact and calendar entry on the computer, then you should get the option to merge the data when you first sync.

" 3 items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information" I have searched and I have tried the solutions on the forum. My iPhone has been successfully synced without error and I am trying to sync with new laptop.

" 3 items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information" I have searched and I have tried the solutions on the forum. My iPhone has been successfully synced previously on my mac mini without error. I am trying to sync my iPhone with new MacBook Pro.

Modular77: With respect the dialog on the iPhone 'XX items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information.' , would you happen to know where to look in iTunes? I looked in all the places that seemed logical to me.
I am, however, asking only for future reverence, as the initial sync which generated the error dialog was done via USB, and almost immediately after the USB sync, I ran a WiFi Sync—two in a row in fact—both initiated from the iPhone. Both WiFi syncs completed successfully with no error dialog.
I then ran another USB sync initiated from iTunes on the Macintosh, as was the first sync which gave the error. This second USB sync also completed successfully with no errors.
I think someone in this thread mentioned non-AppleStore products or DMR issues which I think could not have been an issue in my case, as I was running the sync to install updated Apps from the AppStore, and additionally had deleted some music and movie items to make sure there was room for the App updates. Nothing was added other than the recently downloaded App updates from the AppStore.
iPhone3GS iOS 5.1.1 build 9B206.
          Developer Profile enabled. iCloud enabled.
          32 GB “disk.” About 1.5 GB free after sync.
          iPhone NOT jailbroken
MacBook 13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008 (NOT Macbook Pro)
     Lion 10.4.7 build 11E53. 2 GB RAM.
Thanks for any info or advice. Problem IS now solved, but it absorbed a lot of time to reach that point.

Unable to sync to new laptop - exceeded 5 machines

I have had my IPOD for nearly 5 years, I have just tried to register with my latest laptop and told I have exceeded 5 registrations and to de-register from a previous machine. I no longer have access to the previous machines two of which were reformated the remaining three no longer exists. any suggestions?

Yes, try Help:
If you forgot to deauthorize a computer you no longer own, and you have five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all your authorized computers at once. You can use this method once a year.
Choose Store > View My Account, and click Deauthorize All. If you don’t see this option, it’s because you don’t have five authorized computers.

Hello Zuhaib,
Sorry to hear that your iPhone is currently not recognized by iTunes. I found an article with steps you can take when you experience an issue like this. I wasn't sure whether you were using a Windows or Mac computer, so I included the respective articles for each:

Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

How to sync iphone with new laptop

Hi,
I have an ihone 4GS which I had synced with my laptop.
Now, i have changed my laptop and want to sync my iphone with my new laptop.
pl. advice how can I do the same.
Regards,

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
