Using iPod video on a new computer - without software?

I recently bought a new laptop and I wanted to be able to use my iPod Video on it. The only problem is that I lost the CD that came with the package.
Will I still be able to hook the iPod to the laptop without losing any of the songs/movies/pictures on the iPod?
Thanks!

  • Why can't I sync my iPod touch with a new computer without deleting everything?

    I recently got a new laptop, but now when I try to sync my iPod touch, it says "The iPod "Jessica's iPod" could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPod". I have authorized my computer, and when I try to authorize it again it says "This computer is already authorized".

    Maybe:
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
    One you sort the Authorization out you have to do the following to lose the content on the iPod

  • I am trying to download videos from a new computer without losing media from my old computer.

    I am trying to download videos to my i-pod using a new computer. How do I get them without losing media that I purchased on my old computer? I have used the i-tunes on this computer only for burning music to CDs.

  • How can I get my old classic iPod library onto a new computer without losing either library? The songs on my iPod are from hundreds of CD's I don't want to re-import

    My original iPod has my old CD collection on it, hundreds of them painstakingly imported. Over the years, I have got new iPod, new iPhone, new computer, and run a separate iTunes library. But now I want my old collection on my computer. How can I get this old iPod music converged with my newer music and computer, without having to wipe out a library or lose any music?

    Hello jlfromcorona,
    Use the manual method of copying all the music from your iPod Classic, to your new Mac.  See this article for instructions.

  • HT1296 I bought a new computer and I want to sync my iPod Touch with the new computer without losing data.

    I bought a new computer and want to use the new computer to sync data with my iPod touch.  I understand that you can only sync a device with one computer at a time.  This if fine because I don't care to sync my iPod with the old computer anymore.  How do I set up my new computer to be the computer that syncs with my iPod touch from now on, without losing any data?

    You don't.
    When you sync to a different computer it erases the content from the ipod and replaces it with the data from the new computer.
    Just copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one, then sync

  • Sync ipod touch to a new computer without deleting apps

    Hi,
    I have a 1st gen itouch. It was synced with the family computer, but I got a my own laptop. When I try to sync it, it says that I will need to erase it. Can I do this without losing my apps and data? Both computers are authorized on the same itunes account.

    First tansfer iTunes purchases to your computer:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    Then copy the iPod backup file from the family computer to yur computer.  For its location see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: About backups
    Then connect the iPod to your computer and restore the iPod from the backup that you just copied to your computer.

  • My computer was stolen. How do I sync my ipod touch with my new computer without wiping all the music

    My laptop was stolen and now when I try to sync my music it wants to wipe my ipod touch 5th generation. How do I get around this ?

    There are quite a few third party apps that will copy media from the ipod to the computer. Try searching the cnet downloads site or other reputable sites.
    Good luck!

  • Computer crashed, we got a new computer but our ipod touchs are synced with the old one how do i get our stuff on to the new computer without losing it on our ipods

    Our computer crashed last week.  We just bought a new one last night and installed a iTunes on to the computer.  How do we transfer what we have on our iPods on to the new computer without losing anything

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.

  • For Christmas I got a new computer after my other computer broke so I am wondering is there a way to sync my iPod touch that I already had with my new computer without deleting all my app data because I have over 200 hundred dollors of games

    I got a new computer for Christmas it is a gateway and I have downloaded iTunes on it I need  to know if there is a way that I can sync my iPod touch with my new computer without deleting all of my app data I don't have my old computer It crashed so u can't even turn it on

    You should be able to:
    Use Edit > Preferences > Devices > Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.
    Connect the device to iTunes.
    Backup the device to the new computer.
    Transfer your iTunes purchases into a newly authorized library.
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer.
    Restore the device from the backup.
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps. When you get it all fixed, make a backup!
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.

  • Computer with main library crashed. How do I transfer all files from ipod onto new computer without them being erased on ipod?

    The hard disk on my laptop which contained my main i-tunes library crashed. I want to make sure I have a backup of my music and apps on a different computer. How can I transfer the music and such from my ipod touch to the new computer without erasing everything on my touch when I try to sync it? Do I just have to start over from scratch? Alot of my music is copied over from my cd collection.

    There are a number of third-party apps which will allow you to copy media from an iOS device into a computer's iTunes library. A popular one is Senuti; there are others which are free.

  • Is there a way to use ipod with new computer without erasing entire library

    I'm not really tech-savvy, but I'm tossing my old computer and getting a new one - is there a way to use my ipod on my new computer without erasing my existing library? It won't let me make changes to my ipod and wants me to erase everything that is on there right now - HELP!

    Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the 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. When your iPod appears in iTunes enable it for disk use, this is required for most if not all the utilities listed below so they can access the files: Using your iPod as a storage drive
    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 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
    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
    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.

  • How can I use a new computer without deleting everything on iPod?

    Hey Guys
    I need a bit of help.
    My old computer died, it was running Windows XP. I've got myself a new computer running Windows 7.
    I have a copy of my iTunes folders from my old computer (taken 2 days before it died)
    How can I use a new computer without deleting everything on iPod touch?
    I've imported all the folders (music, apps etc) into the new computer's iTunes, but when I sync my iPod
    I receive a window asking if i want to sync i need to erase and replace with the iTunes library on the computer.
    I particularly don't want to do this.
    My wife also uses my iTunes for her iPhone.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

    Make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Backup. Then restore the iPod from that backup and sync as necessary.
