Yes, you can sync your own music to your iPod via your computer's iTunes. If you have the music on your computer but not yet in your computer's iTunes then if it's in a compatible format then you should be able to add it via File > Add To Library - if it's not in a compatible format you will need to convert it first.
If your iPod is on iOS 3 then it sync to the iPod app, if it's on iOS 5+ then it will go into the Music app (in iOS 5 the iPod app was redesigned and renamed).

    Hello, Lynne. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here is a helpful article that explains how iTunes purchases are billed. 
    iTunes Store: How iTunes Store purchases are billed
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582
    When using iTunes to purchase content for the first time on a new device, it may require you to verify your payment information as a way to authenticate your device.  If this not a new device attempting to access iTunes store and prompting you provide payment information, there could be an outstanding balance.  This article will show you how to verify you purchase history and invoices.

    Also, you can change the payment method as none as long as there isn't an outstanding balance on the account.

    If your computer is on one minute before it freezes, than you have one minute to secure your serial number.
    click the apple----->click about this Mac ------> click on version----> until you see the serial number.  You may have to do this a couple of times if it freezes before you have all the numbers.  A camera might help.
    Good Luck

    Hi thepswagger,
    It sounds like you saw this article about setting up an account without a credit card.
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534
    So if you already have and Apple ID you are trying to use with iTunes, note what this article states:
    Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5366
    Creating a new iTunes Store or App Store account
    When you create a new store account or sign in with an existing Apple ID (that you haven't used in the store), you must provide a payment method. If you want to remove the payment method after you create the account, you can change your payment information to None.
    If you want to create an account with a new Apple ID, follow these steps to create an account without entering your credit card details.

  • Am changing from elements 13 trial to full version,but when opening the editor it keeps asking for me to sign in and input serial number

    I have been trying to get elements 13 working for a couple of weeks, after many hours of chat with support and them using remote access, it has still not worked. However, having been on several websites I have made progress and it is now running as the trial version.
    The organiser works fine but every time I open the editor, it asks me to sign in and requests the serial number followed by the message "verifying serial number" which disappears after a few seconds. The same thing happens every time I open it as if my serial number is not being accepted

    To purchase and update apps, iTunes requires a valid payment method, even for free apps.

  • Yahoo account keeps asking for password on apple mail

    hi im running mountain lion and my yahoo account keeps asking for my password every now and then and its getting really annoying. i enter the right password but then it will ask for it again later. its only with my yahoo account. can anyone help? thank you!

    go to applications > utilities > keychain access
    you may need to enter your password to unlock the lock in the left upper corner.
    under keychains select login
    under category select passwords
    make sure that there are no duplicate entries for yahoo mail. If there are, delete them
    if that doesn't work, delete all of the yahoo entries, and go back in mail.app > preferences and delete the yahoo account and reenter the account info from scratch.
    doing keychain first aid wouldn't hurt either.
    in keychain access, do option-command-A
    verify and then repair.
    this will probably fix it.

  • I have a timecapsule, plugged into router and followed instructions. Firtly, it always flashes amber, secondly when accessing on imac it is asking for a password when i go to prefernces. nothing works and very disappointed how much time wasting in settin

    I recently purchased the 2TB time capsule. expecting it to work like all of my other apple products. No chance. I have plugged into router and switched on. amber light just flashes away....
    Opening Airport utility and it does see the time capsule, again with a flashing amber light next to it and a number 2 to the right, in red. when i click on it it asks for a password!!! no idea what password it is asking for, tried the network key, tried admin password, tried trusted etc.....
    What is going wrong as online help and instructions do not provide any guidance.
    thx

    I recommend you do a fully isolated setup. Especially if you are using wireless.
    Plug the TC into the computer by ethernet. Make sure it is LAN port marked <->.
    Open the utility. It should not need a password now to access.. if it does, do a full factory reset.
    This is done by holding in reset.. then power on the TC and wait for about 10 sec.. never releasing the reset.. front LED flashes rapidly.. then release the reset.. and wait for the TC to reboot.
    In the airport utility select bridge mode under networking.
    Go to the wireless page and setup wireless as you prefer.
    Update the TC.. disconnect from the computer and plug it back by ethernet into the router.

  • HT1277 how do i uncheck 'password' authentication when setting up email accounts on ipad 2

    how do I uncheck the password authtication when setting up email accounts on ipad 2

    As best I know all ISP providers operating Mail Servers for their customers REQUIRE "password authentication" in order to access and download your email.  Why wouldn't you want to set it?
    Hope this helps

  • No option to select IMAP when setting up new account

    Hi All,
    I bought an iMac yesterday and am trying to set up my Gmail so I can sync it with my MacBook Pro and my iPad.
    Until now, I had IMAP enabled on the Gmail server, but in Mac OS Mail the account was set up as POP. Still, I was getting all my mail on both the MBP and the iPad.
    Since adding the iMac, the iPad is still getting everything, but the most of the time only one of the two computers will receive an incoming message.
    After researching solutions online, I backed up my Inbox, Drafts and Sent mail folders on both the iMac and the MBP by creating archive folders under "On my Mac".
    Then, beginning with the iMac, I deactivated the old Gmail POP account and proceeded to create another mail account, using the same name and email address, expecting to be able to select IMAP as the account type. However, no such option is presented; I am only asked for provider, name, email address and password and it creates another POP account.
    How can I create a new IMAP account for my Gmail account? Any help would be much appreciated!

    I meant, of course, I spoke too SOON.
    This mail issue is extremely frustrating. Even Apple Phone Support was not able to provide a solution that worked.
    I am ready to give up on Mavericks and upgrade to Yosemite.
