Updating on new computer

I transferred all my songs to a new computer and they all transferred to my ipod mini with no problem. Now I have purchased new songs and they show on itunes library, but will not update to the ipod. I have authorized the computer and reset the ipod and reinstalled both itunes and ipod software and it still won't work.

Hi NTSV,
Maybe folks can help if they know more about the Macs you are working with.
Wrong forum for the Dell. :~)

    I need CS3 to update on new computer running mavericks. How?  I keep getting a message that the updater quit, but the installation went well.  No photoshop file opens correctly... there are just a lot of colored lines. But I cannot afford a new Photoshop suite at this time.  Any ideas?

    The new Sync version uses the Firefox account and stores the login data (username/email and password) under the https://accounts.firefox.com site heading in the Password Manager and use the signedInUser.json file in the profile folder to store the credentials once connected to the account to avoid having to enter the master password on each start.

  • Ipod won't update on new computer!! please helppp

    well i recently got a new computer and decided to move all the songs form the old computer over so i did. now i need to update my ipod and for some reason when the ipod is connected it seems to work .. but then the problem comes it says updating ipod do not disconnect and about 5 second later its already done updating except the ipod did not get updated and still has the old songs i had on it.. can anyone tell me how i can solve this problem? thanks

    Try moving all of your files out of the main folder they're in... then dragging them into the iTunes library in iTunes itself.
    Then when its done processing them all, try updating again.
    they have to be in the library and (prolly) CHECKED for iTunes to sync them.

  • Copying Jan. Update to new computer

    Hey, sorry if this has already been discussed before but my search isn't working right for some reason. Anyways, I will be getting a new computer this week. I know how to transfer my library but how do I copy the January Update over to the new computer.

    Hi Zach_D,
    It's really easy. First transfer the +iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa+ file to the new computer. This file can be located:
    Mac OS X:
    ~/Library/iTunes/Mobile Applications
    Windows XP
    C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Applications\
    Windows Vista:
    C:\Users\AppData\Roaming
    Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Applications\
    After copying this file to the new +Mobile Applications+ folder on the new computer, make sure you've authorized the new computer with your iTunes Account (the one where you bought the upgrade).
    Hope this helps!

  • Help with automatic update on new computer

    I bought a new computer and have installed itunes on it, but if I connect my Ipod since its a different computer ITunes will automatically update it and erase all my songs. I can't change the Ipod settings without my Ipod being connected but if i conect it, itunes will automatically update it before i can change the settings. What can i do?

    If you get the dialogue box that your iPod is linked to a different library, click No. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list. Change the update setting in Preferences>iPod to "manually manage songs and playlists" Managing Your Songs Manually
    You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys, on Windows, hold down Shift + Ctrl. 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 3 and 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box.
    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 again.
    Another way is to connect your iPod and before it starts to sync, click the little X on the right hand side of the display beside the "Do Not Disconnect" message. The display is the little window to the right of the iTunes control buttons: iPod Interface
    Or you could look at the method described in this link: How to keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod
    Go with whichever method you feel most comfortable and as I said, if at any point you are asked if you want to link your iPod to a new library, click No.

  • Laptop crashed during update. New computer reinstalled itunes and most of music missing.

    How can I retrieve lost files?

    Unless you have a backup, they would still be on the old computer's hard drive.

  • Uploading from iPod on new computer without old one

    My old PC suffered a catastrophic disk error and I don't have
    backups of many of the tunes. The instructions to update a
    new computer relies on copying everything from the old one
    onto the ipod disk, and then to the new computer. I can't
    do this. When I open the iPod on the new coputer I see only 4
    folders; calendars, contacts, notes and photos. I cannot see
    any music files on the iPod from Windows. Is there any way to access the iPod files and copy them to the new PC?
    Thanks

    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 iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved also it was written long before iTunes 7 so it requires a little adaptation as the iPod preferences are no longer in the location described. Also it won't transfer playlists or videos as far as I know. However if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then 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
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    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 in case you have problems again. 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.

  • I have made the mistake of buying a new computer. How do I get all my accessabilty back? I also made the mistake of updating.

    Ok. So first of all I bought a new computer. The old one completely crashed no longer can get anything out of it. I threw it away.
    I backed up my Iphone on the new computer and did the sync. iTunes asked me to update so I did. Now I can not delete songs from my iPhone.
    I am using a windows system. This means if I open iTunes once and then close it I have to turn my computer off and start again.
    I admit having a huge rant on this forum before but I am getting really frustrated agian. On te old system it was easy to make songs into ring tones by making it into an aac version. Now it seems I have to buy ringtones????  What is up with that?????  
    Can anyone point me in the right direction???

    For ringtones, iTunes > Preferences > General >Import Settings... button > choose Import using AAC encoder to enable Create AAC version from .m4a and mp3 files.

  • If i update my iphone 4 to the ios5 will it erase all my stuff on it if i use a new computer and a new itunes with nothing on it?

    can anyone tell me if i update my iphone to the new ios5 will it erase all of my personal things on it if i use a new computer and a new itunes that has nothing on it? or will the back up save all my music and pictures and stuff like that? thanks

    I had to go through this today (got a new computer recently). I ended up pluggng in my phone to the new computer and then doing a sync and a backup, and Image Capture to get all your pics just in case. Then I did an update check wnen iOS 5 became active and it said that it was going to erase everything and I hit OK. And after that install was complete, I did "restore from backup" which said it would restore everything that was backed up except the new iOS 5 firmware (that stayed put). Just a few tweaks here and there and it all worked for me.
    Hope this helps a bit

    Hi.  My new computer had Acrobat on it.  Suddenly, I was unable to open any PDF's.  and then I tried to update and was forwarded to the Adobe site that said I had to buy a monthly subscription.  I do not have the physical box with a serial number and was going to buy the one advertised on the website until I discovered it's only for students and teachers, which I am not.  What should I do next as I need to use PDFs on a daily basis.  Thanks!  I would like to be able to download this and pay online.  Possible? I currently have Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.  I have a Windows 7 system.  Please help!

  • I just bought the new iPhone, but it does not sync to my Macbook iTunes because it says I need at least a 10.6.8 software update. My computer is stuck on 10.5.8, however, and my laptop does not say that there are any software updates available.

    I tried researching it online, and I think that my computer might be too old to get new software updated on it - I bought it either in 2007 or 2008. I just think that it seems unfair that I have to buy a whole new computer just to put my music and other things on my new iPhone. What should I do? I can't even buy the software update for Mountain Lion because it requires you to already have a 10.6 and I only have a 10.5.8. This is the most frustrating thing ever!

  • I need to update my software but i dont want to lose all of my content. This is a new computer i am updating from and it doesnt have any of my content on it.

    I went to the apple store and they told me that my version of Itunes on my Ipod touch is like 20 versions behind. My mom just bought a mac and I want to update my software but I dont want to lose all of my music,movies,shows, and pictures. I no longer have the computer that I used to put all of the content on my ipod so I am scared that if I do the update I will forever lose my content. Please tell me if I can update my software without it deleting my ipod. Thank you so much

    - If you have a 1G ipod you can't update past 3.1.3.  To identify yourd see:
    Identifying iPod models
    - Be aware that if you can/do update the iOS to the latest (4.2.1 for a 2G and 4.3.4 for a 3G) you may not be able to sync to the old computer since that computer will need the latest iTunes to see/sync with the update iPod.  Yo need an Max with at least OSX 10.5.8.
    You can transfer iTunes purchases from the iPod to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    You can use on of the third-party programs dicussed here to transfer other stuff:
    new PC: Apple Support Communities
    Unless you can move/copy the iPod backup file to the new computer you will loose all app data and restore from that backup. That file is located:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

  • Why can't I open photos after updating an iphoto Library on new computer?

    I have saved a 13,000 photos from my old Mac onto a hard disc, and am now trying to import those photos onto a new Mac computer.
    When I copied the 2012 iPhoto Library onto my new computer, a prompt came up to tell me that the Library needed to be updated in order to be used on this computer. So I followed the steps and it seems to have successfully updated itself. But see all the photos when I scroll through the Library... but, when I try to click to open it, I get a HAZARD sign -- triangle with a big exclamation mark.
    Please, can someone advise how I get my old photos onto my new computer?
    Thanks. Corinna

    That sign turns up when iPhoto loses the connection to the actual file.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
