Using New Laptop to Update iPod Now

So I got a new laptop, and I've transferred all my music files.
So, if I want this laptop to update my iPod, do I simply install iTunes and the iPod software in my new laptop, and treat it as though I'm installing a new iPod?
Would that work?

If you have all your music moved then you just need to install iTunes and add your music to the new library. If your iPod is set to update automatically when you connect you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Yes" or ("Erase and Sync" in iTunes 7). All the songs from your library will load onto your iPod.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

I just bought a new laptop and my ipod nano will not stay connected to my computer. When I first connect the ipod it starts to sync on my ipod but not on itunes. The ipod is initially connected to my computer, I can see it when I look on devices in my computer. However, when it finishes syncing it is no longer detected to my computer. I cannot transfer any of my songs to my new laptop because of this. I have tried to reinstall itunes, reset my ipod and use a different port. None of these things worked. Any ideas?

How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

The Ipod I have been using for years no longer will hold a charge. My wife doesn't use hers so I would like to use it as my main ipod now. How do I get it to sync my play lists?

Hi BFW29,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can use these steps in this article to set up syncing with your computer and the new iPod:

So what happens when you connect to iTunes?

I got a usb charger for my 4th gen Ipod touch that at first allowed my to charge and transfer music from my laptop to the Ipod now nothing happens when I plug the usb cord and Ipod into my laptop. Its mac so it is an apple system. I am wondering how I can fix this problem I am not very good with techy stuff so this is very confusing how it was working and it just stopped.

Hi johnsmiff99,
That is never fun when your iPod touch does not show up on your Mac. Take a look at the article below to walk you through on getting it to show back up on your iTunes. It is very easy to read so you wont feel overwhelmed with to much techy jargon. Let me know if you get this worked out.

I am using new laptop with ipod touch and have downloaded i.tunes. in the past i.tunes showed all the tracks on my old i.pod. I can't seem to find the i.touch library to change or delete music. What am I not doing?

I am using a new laptop, windows 7, with ipod touch, hoping to listen to, whilst on line, edit and add music to my ipod library. I have downloaded i.tunes but it does not show my library. I know I have repeats to delete too but cant see anything, It does recognise that there is a body of music with the indication bar at the bottom., but does not list anything. Help

I attempted to back up my old iPod, but in File - Library - back up to disk, it's asking for 15 disks! I can't just back up to the PC/ext HDD that I can see.
That backing up your iTunes library, not your iPod. You can backup up your library by:
iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
First you have to get Itunes to see the iPod. See the following. Notupdating your iPod iOS has nothing to do with it.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
You can transfer iTune spurchases from the iPod to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
You can also redownload iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer.
For other music yo will need a thrid-party progtam like one of those discussed here:
newer copy

My old computer crashed, new laptop, syncing my ipod so that it doesn't delete all my songs from my ipod?

My old computer recently crashed, and so i've bought this windows laptop (which i'm using now).
I have an iPod classic (latest model) and am fearful that if I retrieve my account on my new laptop, it'll delete all the information, 1,3000 songs and multiple videos from my iTunes, leaving my iPod with barely nothing. If this happens, i'll probably end of selling it, becuase this was not my fault, i love my music and i've not the time to replenish my library with that many songs, which has taken me a year to compile.
Can anyone help me, if so I would much appreciate it?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.

Updated iPod now slow synching to iTunes???

I just got back from 18 months travelling, during which time my PC (with iTunes) was continually switched off, and my iPod was travelling with me. Upon returning I had a few weeks back on my PC before I reconnected the internet at home, during which time I had my iPod connected via USB to my PC and everything continued to work as it had before I left, apart from when I clicked into the iPod "drive" on my HD I got a threat warning for a file "I-Worm/BrontokX Data Graffiti.exe". I have never heard of this worm and so far detected no weird behaviour in either the iPod on its own, or iTunes, or accessing the iPod through iTunes (synching etc). I didn't want it to automatically quarrantine any files on the iPod itself, so I did nothing. At this stage the versions of both iPod software and iTunes were those from February 2009.
I recently reconnected the internet and firstly restored the iPod to factory settings just to be safe with respect to the virus threat warning. I then updated both iPod software and iTunes to current versions (iTunes version 10.0.1.22). I then re-synched my iPod.
The first thing I noticed is that things are MUCH slower now. Whereas I used to be able to synch new contact at the rate of one new song every second or 2, synching my library from scratch again took a VERY long time, up to 1 minute per song, or about 8 hours for 15GB of media.
Secondly, I keep my media on an external hard drive (due to space on my PC) and I find that I'm having relatively frequent issues now with iTunes "losing" my media and not being able to find it on the external drive (little "!" appears next to song etc), and not being able to find the connected iPod, which never happened on the old versions before I did the updates. Closing and restarting iTunes does not fix it, but restarting the PC does.
Thirdly, now that I have re-synched, the media now seems to be taking much less space on my iPod. Before the update, I had virtually filled my 16GB iPod nano with my entire library. Now, the same library takes barely more than 12GB of space on the iPod.
I guess my questions/issues are:
* Any ideas about the "virus" threat "I-Worm/BrontokX Data Graffiti.exe"? I assume that restoring the iPod to factory settings would have removed any issue but should I be more worried?
* The new versions of iTunes/iPod software just seem to be more, well, jittery than what I had, even if it was versions from Feb09 ("losing" my media, "losing" the iPod, taking far longer to synch etc)?
* Why would media that took 15GB of space on my iPod before the software update, now take only 12GB? I'm worried that stuff is going missing but I can't go through 3,500 songs individually
Any ideas/hints/tips/comments welcome

1st Gen minis required a connection to the power adapter to complete the Firmware update. AC adapters were provided in the box with all 1st Gen minis. 2nd Gen minis do not need this step.
You'll need to find an adapter to complete the process. Sometimes an auto DC charger can also work.
No way around this requirement for the 1st Gen mini (and some earlier iPods as well).

New Problem w/updated iPod software and Alpine Integration (4th Gen)

I have been happily using my 4th gen iPod with my Alpine head unit and Alpine iPod adapter.
A few weeks ago, I updated my iPod software to the latest version. Now the iPod sometimes behaves strangley. I encounter the following problems:
1) Sometimes when I turn the car off, the iPod now won't automatically go into pause and then turn off. It will just keep running with the car off and ultimately wear down the battery.
2) Sometimes the iPod does go into pause mode and turn off when I turn the car off, but then it won't wake from its slumber. The only way to get it working again is to perform a reset.
These problems seem most persistent when listening to Podcasts. Although I have not yet narrowed it down to exactly that. Also, I do not get problem #2 when the iPod is NOT connected to the Alpine unit.
Any help of info would be appreciated. I am not sure it's the new iPod software, but that's the only thing that has changed and it's been working perfectly up until now.
PS: I have done the 5 R's.

Anyone?

New laptop not recognising ipod

I recently bought a new laptop. I have installed itunes on this machine. when i open itunes and log into may account and connect my ipod itunes does not seem to recognise my ipod. What do I do.
Also I bought my children an ipod shuffle each for christmas. How do I register thieer ipods so that they can put songs on their ipods from my itunes account?
Thanks

I'm in the same boat, my iPod Touch worked fine before this lousy update. None of Apple's online solutions work and I haven't been able to use it since Monday. It ***** that I will have to send it off to Apple to be replaced (apparently they send you a new or refurbished replacement rather than fixing your one). I feel like I should be compensated for Apple ruining my iPod Touch.

Want to use new laptop for iPhone 5, but will iPhone 4 backup on old pc transfer ok?

I'm about to set up my new iPhone 5, but I want to set it up on a new pc, not the one I previously used for my iPhone 4. I've done a backup of my iPhone 4 with the old pc, but want to plug the new one into my new laptop. Will everything still transfer? Is there anything else I need to do/think about before registering it?

You can restore the iPhone from backup on the older computer, then transfer content to the new computer.
You can also just move the backup to the new computer and move the iTunes library to the new computer. Then you're new computer will have all the info that was on the older computer.

New Change – location updates are now on me

I’ve had a Verizon broadband card for well over a year, but just recently Verizon changed its policy on downloading location updates. Apparently now the data downloaded to make location updates is charged against my monthly data allowance. Location updates are now only possible after one is connected and their data meter per se is running. Did someone think folks wouldn’t notice? Why should I now have to pay for continual location updates so that maintenance software can be distributed? I’m paying for that volume of data for personal usage. This abrupt policy shift doesn’t speak well for company integrity.

This is not a change, at least for the MiFi. In the 20 months I've been using it I've always had to pay for location updates.
