Do you have all of your content in that computer's iTunes library ? There are some instructions on this page for syncing to a new computer : Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
And if you have music on your device that wasn't purchased from iTunes and you don't have a copy of it on your new computer's iTunes then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy it back (iTunes will only copy iTunes downloads back from a device) : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

    I am trying to activate my program into my new computer (the old one was run over by a car) and it says I have exceeded my installations.  It's Adobe Audition 3 (you can see I've been using it a long time) and I rely on it for work everyday.  Please advise.

    The activation server for Audition 3 was shut down by Adobe several years ago.
    You now need to download the non-activation version provided by Adobe here
    Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
    Install then enter the new serial number provided by Adobe at that link. Your existing serial number will no longer work.

  • Syncing music to a new computer, when old computer crashed

    My old computer crashed and the only location all of my music is is on my iPod. When I plug my iPod in iTunes will only sync songs I've purchased from them. How do I get the rest of my music onto my iTunes library?

    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port

  • I want to sync music from my PowerBook G4 to my Ipod Generation 7 but it says i need to update the Powerbook but the Powerbook says there is no updates plus i need to update Itunes but its not working.

    I want to Sync music from my PowerBook 4 to my Ipod generation 7 but it says I need to update Itunes to 10.7 but when it finishes updating and i go back to itunes nothing has changed and Itunes is not updated.

    In order to install iTunes 10.7 or later you need OSX 10.6.8 or later. A PowerBook can install up to OSX 10.5.8
    I hate to be the bearer of bad news but any new iPod won't sync with iTunes on Mac not using an Intel processor.

  • Syncing issues with a new computer, while old computer is dead

    Ok, So when I first purchased the iPod Nano 3rd generation, I still lived at my parents and set everything up through their computer. I bought music, and imported music to it from CD's on this computer and everything synced correctly and nicely.
    Now, I have sinced moved out and have a new computer which I have authorized, but cannot import any of the music I imported from my CD's a few years back. On top of it, I have purchased music from my new computer, but cannot sync it directly to my iPod to actually listen too for whatever reason. The final issue is that my parent's computer is completely dead, so I cannot even go on that one to deauthorize.
    Is there any way that I can get the music I have purchased recently to transfer over to my iPod? And, is there a way I can get the music I copied from old CD's into my new library on the new computer?

    Try this:
    Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
    Just be aware that CS2 is very old software and will NOT work on current versions of either Macintosh or Windows computers. For example, it's incompatible with Mavericks on a Mac and Windows 8.

  • My ipod is not recognized on a new computer after old one crashed.  I have painstakenly restored all songs and playlists.  I deautorized all, and the reauthorized new computer.  It won't sync.

    My ipod is now recognized on a new computer after old one crashed.  I installed itunes on the new computer, and have painstakenly restored all songs and playlists. I also purchased several new songs from the itunes stores.  Now my ipod will not sync with the new computer.  I deauthorized all computers, then reauthorozed the new one.  My ipod still won't sync.

    ...after running diagnostics through itunes, itunes says  "device not found"  Seems there are a lot of others having this problem,and it seems to be related to new version of itunes.  Apple should do something to fix this.

  • I've just got a new computer does any one know how to transfer my song to my new computer. I've installed itunes but can't seem to transfer the songs

    I've just got a new computer does any one know how to transfer my song to my new computer. I've installed itunes but can't seem to transfer the songs.

    you can use home sharing.
    or, assuming you have all your media files in the default location, copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music or media folder) from the old to the exact same location on the new machine.
    you can either use your network or an external HD for that.

  • How can I upload my ipod shuffle tunes to my new computer? Old one crashed.

    How can I upload my ipod shuffle tunes to my new computer? Old one crashed.

    Have you not got a backup of your content on, for example, an external drive that you can copy onto your new computer ? If not, then depending on which country that you are in you might be able to re-download iTunes purchases from the store. Otherwise you will need to find a third-party program to copy the music off the iPod - this post from a couple of years mentions some that were around at the time, I don't know whether they still exist and work.

  • Will my apps in my iPhone be deleted when i sync music from a different computer/iTunes?

    So i went to a technician to download paid apps for my iPhone. Then when i went home i want to add music files to my iPhone but when i pressed the sync button the iTunes said:
    The iPhone is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?
    An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library.
    i was wondering if when i sync JUST MUSIC/VIDEOS/PHOTOS will my apps be erased too???
    Thanks in advance for the answers! <3

    just copy over the music from the other computer, import it into itunes, then sync your phone.

  • HT1386 how do you sync music to a new computer ?

    How do you sync music from my iPhone 4 to a new computer ?

    Take a look here:  https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141  I think this is what you need.  I just did a clean install of OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard on our iMac (mid-07) and used this guide to get my wife's iPhone to sync with it again...without losing the apps.  This page from OSXdaily is also useful:  http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/29/sync-iphone-new-computer-without-losing-data/  I do use Time Machine, and backed up my drive before I did the whole wipe and install, so I did have all the backup files for the iPhone...  It took a little time, but I did manage to drag all the music and photos over so I didn't lose anything.   Hope this helps.

  • HT1386 i want to sync music from my itunes to my iphone? Why is this probably harder than discovering a cure for cancer? FFS im trippin out over this!!! 3 hours down the ****** today downloading itunes and redownloading it then tryin to sync! FML!!!

    pretty much as above? any very simple answers coz everything ive tried to folloq doesnt exist!!! >:(

    You are far more likely to get help if you calm down and explain the problem. By that I mean, what did you do? What happened when you did that? What error messages did you receive (be as exact as possible)? What steps did you take to troubleshoot ("everything" is not the correct answer here).
    As it stands, all we really know is that you want to sync music and you can't and that you are upset.  So, now that you have vented, start a new thread without the hyperbolic references to cancer. I'm sure someone will be able to help you.
    Best of luck.
