CAN I CONNECT MY IPOD CLASSIC TO ANY COMPUTER AND UPDATE ANY MUSIC THAT I HAVE PURCHASED FROM ITUNES ON MY IPAD?

Plug the iPod into the new computer. When it pops up on the left sidebar, right-click on the iPod and select "Transfer Purchases". Make sure that you Authorize the computer to play content purchased with that account, or else the music will not play.

Hi Matt00,
thank you for your response. I followed the steps you suggested, but still no luck. Is a the fact that I am using a notebook a problem? I have been doing more searching and it seems my HP Pavilion Notebook does not have a firewire port?

ITunes won't sync any music that was not purchased from iTunes onto my iPhones 5S

I have updated to Mavericks on my macbook, and iTunes will no longer sync my iPhone 5S properly. It does not remove any music that has been deleted. My phone will no longer play any music that was not purchased from iTunes. I tried to delete all my music and download it again, but iTunes would not remove it from the phone. Is anyone having a similar problem? Any ideas to get things back to normal? I am restoring from back up as I type, but I doubt it will solve my problem.

I had the exact same problem since upgrading to Mavericks. When I tried to copy the music from iTunes, either wifi or wired, it appeared in 'On this phone' greyed out. Forcing a sync didn't help. I noticed too that iTunes showed odd values for the amount of space available on the phone - around 9GB compared to 27GB on the phone itself.
I solved the problem by turning off iTunes Match, turning it back on again, then reconnecting my iPhone.

Can i connect my ipod classic to my car radio via bluetooth so that I can listen whilst driving?

Can I connect my Ipod Classic to my car radio using bluetooth (or any other way) so that I can listen through my radio whilst driving?

Yes, get an iFM transitter from eBay or Amazon.
Search for Griffin or Monster or just iPod Classic FM transmitter and charger, they are inexpensive less than US$30.
Get one with charger or else you iPod might run out of battery faster.

I deleted iTunes from my PC, is there any way i can sync my phone to a newly downloaded iTunes without losing my music that wasn't purchased from iTunes?

BACK-STORY
I recently was given a new iPhone 4S from the Apple Store, I synced it to my PC when I got home and got everything back.I had to uninstall a download of windows 8.1 back to the original windows 8 in order to install an anti-virus software. The only way to uninstall Windows 8.1 is basically a factory reset, by doing so I lost everything that wasn't saved in cloud or external drive.I downloaded iTunes again, signed in and the only thing I could find was the music that I purchased from iTunes. I don't want to connect my phone to the iTunes I just downloaded,because I think I'm going to lose all the music that's already on there, minus the music I bought from iTunes. It's a lot of albums and it took me a while to collect them all too.
WHAT I WOULD LIKE HELP WITH PLEASE
Can I transfer the music on my phone to some type of storage?
USB memory drive
Cloud ex. Skydrive, Google Drive, Dropbox etc
Store somewhere on my PC. (I know I can't sync from my iPhone to iTunes.)
If it is at all possible to store the music that's already on my iPhone using another method,such as the ones I've mentioned or haven't,can I then transfer it to iTunes?
If there is no way to save my iPhone's music library, then when I rebuild it is there a way to store it, that if the same thing was to happen I wouldn't have to go through this process?
Also, any other tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
THANKS IN ADVANCE TO ALL!!

The syncing of music is one way, computer to phone. See this helpful document from a fellow user. Credit goes to the author.

Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

Last Thursday someone put a virus in my laptop and I have not been able to see or play any of the songs that I have purchase from itune. I had about 230 songs that I puchase from itune.

A virus was put into my laptop last Thursday and I have lost all of the songs I purchase from iTunes. Can you help me recover the nearly 230 songs I purchase from iTunes?

Not a good idea to post personal information on a public forum.
Good news - you have not lost your iTunes purchases. You can re-download them to your computer or to another computer that you have authorized your Apple ID to iTunes on as follows:
1.     Open iTunes and sign on with the Apple ID that was used to make the purhases
2.     Click on the iTunes Store
3.     Click on Purchased under the Quick Links sidebar on the right-hand side of the iTunes Store window
4.     Click on Music (or whichever media you are looking to recover), then on "Not in My Library". Then click on Albums or Songs, Most Recent.
5.     You can then re-download individual items as you wish, or select "Download All" at the bottom of the screen to download everything

This is a problem with home sharing, you are not going to have to re-encode all your CD's.

I have just subscibed to itunes match, but seems to have only moved songs that I have purchased from itunes. Those songs have a cloud next to them and some have a cloud with an exclamation mark inserted, when u click on it to play it it now says can't fin

I have just subscribed to icoud match but am having difficulties. It says it has moved all my songs to the cloud but the cloud symbol has seemed to only appear by the songs purchased from the itunes store only, (this is on the desktop where I originally setup my itunes account) and some of the cloud symbols have an exclamation mark in them, so if I attempt to play them now, it says it can't find it!!!. Also, the main purpose of this exercise was to create space on my iphone and ipad............so once I have succesfully uploaded all my songs to the cloud, do I then delete all my songs off my devices to ceate that space or does that happen automatically?

Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match. Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.

Every Time that I try ot download my songs that I have purchased from Itunes and error message come up, "error 450." Make sure that your network connection is open and try again. What can I do to fix this problem?

Try disabling your parental controls. Does that help with the 450?

HT1848 HOW CAN I FIND MY SONGS ON MY COMPUTER AND TRANSFER THE SONGS THAT I DIDNT BUY FROM ITUNES TO MY SAMSUNG S4???????

How? I don't understand why I am having so much difficulty not only trying to find the songs that I purchased through itunes but the music I already had that is only stored on my iphone at the moment. I had to re-install my computer so I lost everything that was on it. WHY??? Is this so difficult to figure out??? My iphone plays the songs, I want them on my samsung s4. How do i do it?
Thanks in advance.

If you put them on your computer, then they will be in your "Library" in itunes.
You sync them to your iphone as you did before.
Open itunes, plug in iphone, select what you want to sync and sync.

Hi,I'm trying to put all of the songs on my ipod classic to a hard drive for back up but it's only adding songs that I have purchased from the store but none of the albums that I put on from my cd collection.Is there a way to do this please?

Hi,I'm trying to put all the songs from my ipod classic onto an external hard drive,but it is only putting purchases from itunes onto hard drive and not any of my old cd's that I put onto the ipod manually.Am I doing something wrong?Thanks.

Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer. As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you. I'm sure you'll pay, however.
Let this be a very important lesson learned.
Best.

Can I connect my iPod classic or universal dock with optical

Can I connect my iPod classic or universal dock with optical?

Well, no... not at least with the Apple docks.
Optical Audio is also called S/PDIF. It is a purely digital signal designed for specific kinds of home theater and HIFI systems.
The iPod classic does not have such a connection... that being said, HOWEVER
There are some iPod docks that use S/PDIF out.
