Will all your songs delete if you get a new computer?

There is a way to transfer your songs from the old computer to your new computer. I did this successfully a few months ago. I am fairly technically inept, but I was able to do it following Apple's instructions (see link at end of this post). It was a little bit of an ordeal, as I had to use my iPod as an external hard disk to move all my stuff over. However, if you follow the instructions from Apple's help link, you should be able to do it too. Good luck! http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329

My songs were all still there when I replaced my battery. I think they should be fine as long as the hard drive is ok, but I'm no iPod expert.

no. this is worse, say you put 100 songs on it, it will only play 20 of them over an over. The product actually dumps it's memory after awhile to include the driver software to actually use it and plug it into the computer to load songs on to it. To get the driver working again, the company told me to ship it back and after they figured it wasn't my fault, thye would mail it back. I would pay shipping and handling both ways. Best thing I can tell you is not to buy this what so ever.

Yes it looses all data. However if you really want to keep your data just write it down and program it in later

Heck ya it will! I use mine regularly and it is loaded with songs. A USB key/flashdrive with songs is the quickest way to get your music on the go :-)

I keep my iTunes current on this machine. Doesn't seem to be an issue...and mine is 7 years old.

Yes, as long as your hard drive works. It will work just like an external hard drive on the new computer.

Sorry Margaret. Clean install erases all files and programs. Save your files to an external drive then copy them to the new system later after you installed Windows 7. If your XP has stopped working... is the problem hardware or software. Upgrading to an old computer which is not working isn't a great idea.

I am not familiar with that machine but the one's I have just play. No erase, No record, no nothing. I would think you would neeed a computer ro Format he CD's and reload your new stuff.

Hi Download songs from your PC/laptop etc.or where ever you can to your usbstick/pen drive. Its not vital but the most important thing is the USB stick or Pen drive must be a 2GB one, not more than that. Otherwise it won't work on this system.Thanks.Ajay

No. smile. the version backed up from your old computer has files in it specific to that hardware. It would be nice, though, wouldn't it!

it doesn't sync with any type of accounts. It is essentially a portable hard drive, so music must be physically copied onto it like any other file would on an external drive

How do you delete songs on this thing? I had it for a year and I cannot delete songs. Please help!

Actually Yes. First install Windows Easy Transfer for XP and export all your settings to and external drive or network share. After Windows 7 installation run Easy Transfer (already in Win7) and restore your settings. This will transfer all your internet settings, favorites, docs, music, pics, etc., but not any of your old programs. Be sure to have copies of programs that you want to re-install after the of Windows 7.

Yes, it will, however I have never tried it. I have about 10,000 songs on mine and I play them all at random.

Yes, typically when installing a new operating system a clean install is recommended. Just backup all your important files/docs before because a clean install will of course clean your hard drive of all files!

Yes. Every computer holds the hard drive differently so they make all harddrives the same and you simply swap out old one with the new one. And if like me you were not able to back up anything be prepared to have too install windows again and also message your manufacturer your computer info and ask for a link to all the drivers you will need to make your computer able to use all of its features. You may not even have a internet driver or WiFi capability for instance until you install drivers for it I'm this instance another computer and a flash drive will be handy
