Wants to sync to external HD that's no longer there

I have an IPOD that works wonderfully. At one time I tried syncing it to an external HD that contained more songs than my IPOD had capacity for. At the time I didn't have time to search for the songs I really wanted so I set the task aside for another day. Well now the HD is lost and I can't find it.
The problem is every time I try and sync my IPOD it still looks for that HD and gives me the error
Some of the items in the iTunes library, including "Do Re Mi", were not copied to the iPod "My IPOD" because they could not be found. For a list of items that could not be copied click below. 100 total problems
This takes up a lot of time when I'm syncing, esp when I've only added one song. I can't figure out how to get the iPod to stop looking for this HD.
Please help. Patti

Remove the items which were on that drive from the iTunes library or click on the iPod in the iTunes source list and change the settings so that those songs aren't set to sync to the iPod automatically.

  • I have an ipod 2nd gen that was synced to a computer that i no longer have access to..now when i plug it in to my current computer itunes wants to delete all my songs!!!!!

    I have a ipod 2nd gen that was synced to a computer that i no longer have access to...now when i plug it in to my new computer it shows the ipod but wants to erase all my music on the ipod in order to use itunes!!!

    I think that's the way it's supposed to work. When you connect to a computer that has iTunes, but is different from the computer you are normally synced to, you are asked if you want to sync to the current computer. If you say yes, it will replace the content of your iPod with what is designated to sync in the iTunes. If you say no, it will leave your content alone, but you won't be able to load any new songs, but you can still use it in disk mode as a storage device.
    The exception is that you can transfer your iTunes store purchases to the new computer from the iPod, but I haven't done that myself. I'm not sure, but I don't think you can transfer non-store tracks, like those you burn from your own CDs. You have to copy those manually and then sync them onto the iPod.
    Anyway, that's how it works with a 6th gen and the latest iTunes. Not sure if there is a limitation with 2nd gen.

  • HT1727 All of the music on my ipod touch was synced with another computer that I no longer have. Will I be able to transfer songs and videos that I didn't purchase?

    My ipod touch was synced with another computer that I no longer have. Will I be able to tranfer my music and videos to my new conputer without losing the items I didn't purchase from itunes.

    Move or copy all the media from the old computer or the backup of the old computer to the new computer.
    iDevices are not backup devices.

    Hi Michela27,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you have content on your iPhone that isn't on your computer, the best thing is to use the advice in this article to transfer it to your new computer before setting up sync:

  • Have a new computer want to sync songs with iphone that is connected to old computer

    have a new laptop
    have iphone synced to old laptop (now broken)
    want to sync iphone to new itunes but not lose all songs saved on phone
    why do apple make things so hard? please help

    You are not addressing Apple, this is a user to user support forum. iTunes has always been designed to sync one way, from iTunes to the device. iDevices have always been able to sync to only one computer. It is the user's responsibility to back up their devices to minimize impact in case of failures. The reason this is designed this way also has to do with pirating music, sharing of music with people that do not have authorization to have it due to copyright laws.
    I'm sorry, I cannot see why you not having a backup of your computer is Apple's concern. I'd be willing to be that you have not set up any system for backing up your new computer either. Do you backup your iPhone?

  • Why does my iPod Classic keep trying to sync items from my iTunes library that are no longer there?

    I have an iPod classic, 160GB model, that keeps trying to sync items that are no longer in my iTunes library, is there a way to stop it from doing this? My iTunes library is on my MacBook Pro (17-inch, Late 2011), 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB.

    Clarification needed
    Does your iPod clears  your iTunes library or the music in the iPod itself disappears, when your sync the iPod?

  • I'm going to be using a borrowed computer, so don't want to make permanent changes to that FF. Is there a way to sync the FF settings and keep them on a thumb drive for temporary use?

    Is there a way to sync the FF settings and keep them on a thumb drive for temporary use? I know you can try to copy the "default" folder in .mozilla, but that usually ends up a mess. The home computer runs on Linux, don't know what the borrowed one will be.

    There's Portable Firefox for Windows - http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable - and another for Macs - http://www.freesmug.org/portableapps/firefox/ - not for Linux, AFAIK.
    Firefox Sync works thru a server, either Mozilla's sync server or a local sync server the user has running on their own LAN. There's no way to sync the data to a thumb drive unless it has a version of Firefox on that thumb drive.
    You didn't mention which "settings" are involved, but you can export your Firefox bookmarks in HTML format to a thumb drive, and view that bookmarks.html file on any web browser on just about any operating system.
    Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks ''(or Organize Bookmarks for 3.6 and earlier versions)''-> Import & Backup - Export HTML...
    For your other personal data in Firefox, there is no real solution outside of using Firefox.

  • Trying to transfer music to itunes on new pc from ipod that was synced from old pc that is no longer usable

    old pc from which i synced my ipod is broken.
    cannot perform a direct file transfer.
    need to import music to new pc from ipod, but neither itunes nor the computer itself will import the music files.
    i do not have all of the old cds, and it would be an extremely time-consuming process going through so many discs to pick out over 800 single songs anyway. help?
    other details:
    new pc runs on windows 7
    old pc ran on windows 8
    ipod software updated 6 jan 2015
    running itunes 12

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss.  To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Technically if you no longer own the CD then you no longer have the right to a copy of the music.

  • Query to close a framework PO that is no longer use

    Hi Gurus,
    We need your expert advise on this issue.
    We want to close a framework PO that is no longer used. Item category of this PO is Service and there is no delivery completed indicator.
    When we go to ML81N, entry sheet was already accepted and therefore unable to set the status as "Final Entry". We do not want to revoke acceptance nor delete the PO line item.
    Is there any other way we can close this PO?
    Thanks.

    Thanks.

  • I am missing some basic video transitions that used to be there.

    I am missing some basic video transitions that used to be there.  Using Adobe Premier Pro CC 8.1, Caravan.  Update any time Creative Cloud prompts me to.
    Some third party transitions also are acting like I've never registered them, but it concerns me that video transitions that are native to Adobe Premier are missing.

    If you are on a mac look here Adobe Premiere Pro Help | New features summary
    to see transitions that are no longer there. Look for "deprecated video transitions" about two-thirds of the way down

  • HT1386 i want to sync from my ipod to a new library but ipod recognises that content is already held in another library (on an external drive, now broken which i cannot access). Help?

    help needed please.  I haven't used my ipod for some time - my library content is stored on an external hard drive, which i also haven't used for some time.  now that i have an ipad i wanted to sync everything but the external drive is broken.  i have uploaded and updated all software for ipod/itunes onto my laptop but the programme is recognising that i have a library elsewhere and will only allow me to update from laptop to ipod (which would delete all my music). Can anyone suggest a way around this?  many thanks!

  • HT4236 I've run out of room on my hard drive. I bought an external drive and exported all my albums to the external drive then deleted the albums from iPhoto. I want to sync both from my ext drive and new albums in iPhoto. No dice. Help!

    I've run out of room on my hard drive. I bought an external drive and exported all my albums to the external drive then deleted the albums from iPhoto. I want to sync both from my ext drive and new albums in iPhoto. My photos on the devices get wiped out when I sync to iPhoto since I deleted all the albums. But when I sync to my hard drive (where I maintained the album structure) the photos are copied to my iPad but lose all the hierarchy and folder structure. Now I have to scroll through thousands of photos to try to find the one I'm looking for. Before I sync any more devices I want to know the following: 1) can I restore the album structure on my iPad by using the photo cache? 2) is there a way to sync both new iPhoto albums AND pictures in the folders in my hard drive? And 3) how can I keep the photo hierarchy structure from my hard drive intact on my devices?

    Don't do that.
    Copy /Photos/Photo library/ to the external.
    Hold Option and launch iPhoto.
    Select Choose library and select the Photo library you copied to the external.

    Greeting,
    I want to reformat my external hard drive using Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted ) but before formatting it, I want to make sure that if I loose the hard drive or the hard drive get stolen, no one will be able to retrieve or recover the information on it so could you tell me what kind of encryption will be used or is there any way to recover the information?
    Thanks!

    I think FileVault is used to encryp internal hard drive but I wanna encrypt an external hard drive with Mac OS Extended Journaled Encrypted which is completely different!
