New iPods/iPhones, And Old Computers  

Hi danish. For starters, you should always backup your itunes library if you can, that way if your computer does fall apart you still have access to your itunes library or music. Or at least print some form of proof that it's your music, or contact apple. Now, when you sync your ipod, you can drag new songs onto it from the itunes regardless of the computer, and you won't lose your old songs. But if you sync your ipod the normal way you will end up losing all the music on your ipod. There is no way to add music to your computer from the ipod though.

I downloaded a programme called Copytrans. which is availiable from here

after my old computer died, so I could transfer my music into the itunes on my new computer.

it worked just fine.

I don't know what it's like now but the free version you can transfer only a smallish number of songs at once (50 or 100, I think) which can take quite a long time. the paid for version, you can transfer all of them at once.

back up the storage just in case. adding it to a different computer usually wont work but gl

if you have iTunes, you can play with your iPod

doesn't matter what computer, I've updated it on both mine and the roomie's computers - the ONLY reason on my old computer I couldn't do it was because the poor old thing was just that - too old - opening iTunes would grind it to a halt!

Just remember, while you can take tunes off the iPod/Phone, but you can't put them BACK on the computer - you basically lose them

so, just make sure you back up your music by putting them on discs or something so you have them

Yeah, it's amazing how apple went from the first iPod in 2001 to an iPhone In like 10 years.
