I have about 800 more songs on my nano than itunes, due to a crash. How can I get the songs onto itunes from the ipod, or at least get the new music ive gotten since the crash onto my ipod without deleting all the other songs when it syncs?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If you have failed to bakup, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

  • I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?

    I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account and will sync, but delete everything from my phone. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?

    Iphone will sync with one and only one cpomptuer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.  This is the design of the  iphone.
    It will erase the content when you sync.
    Why not update from the comptuer with which you normally sync?

  • How can I download a song (that I jsut purchased) without losing all my other songs?

    I just purchased a song this morning from iTunes, and I want to download it into my ipod nano without losing all my other songs. But if I go to hit sync on computer I will lose all my other songs that I have and just have the ones that are currently in my itunes. I just want to add a new song without losing all my other songs. Is there a way I can do this?

    Select the iPod in iTunes.  Go to the iPod's Summary tab.  Check the box for Manually manage music.  When you Apply this change, you will no longer be using automatic syncing.  To load songs on the iPod, you drag songs from the iTunes library to the iPod.
    But telling you this is odd, because if you already have songs on the iPod that are not in your iTunes library, you must already be using Manually manage music.
    Also, you'll need to remember to eject the iPod (using the button next the iPod in iTunes) before you physically disconnect it.

    How do I get a new iTunes account to create a backup of what's on my wifes iPhone without deleting all the photos and stuff?

    Well, I believe I found it.....
    When I connect the IPhone the device name pops up under devices in the selection column. Right click on the device name and select "Back-up".....
    If this is incorrect please let others know as I won't be able to because my wife will have destroyed all computers in the house for losing her data.

    Yes, I just wanted to tell Jerrold that I tried his suggestion and it worked.  I tried many times until I came across his suggestion.  As far, as my comment about the points, I thought there was a way to rate the responses and the person providing the response would receive some points from Apple.  (See the Legend banner above discussing points).  If I am correct in this assessment, I just wanted to ensure he got credit for solving my problem.
    Have a great day!  Thanks for responding!

    Lora,
    I appreciate the feedback. The Points issues aside, if you had posed your question in a new thread, your use of the Solved tag would alert others searching the Discussions that you had a positive result. This thread, Marilyn not having marked it, doesn't stand out as a solved one. Maybe Marilyn is satisfied, and maybe not. It would be nice to know.

  • HT1296 How do you sync your iPod to another computer without deleting all the data?

    I recently got a new MacBook Air and I found out that if I sync my iPod touch with my new computer instead of my old one all my data will be deleted.
    How do I sync my iPod without deleting all my information?

    You can't, so you'll need to get all your data, apps and content to the new computer before you allow the sync. See this support article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    You can also download most of your content (the notable exceptions being movies, some of which can be redownloaded if you're in the US, and audiobooks) again from the iTunes Store:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    For additional instructions, particular for content not purchased from the iTunes Store, check out this user tip from TurningTest:

  • Just bought a new computer and downloaded itunes again and when I log in all my old music is not there.  I created a new playlist but it won't sinq to iphone without erasing all my other songs.

    I just bought a new computer and set it up.  Downloaded itunes again and logged in; however, all of my old content is not there.  I just created a new playlist and want to sinq it to my phone but get a message saying it will delete all of my old songs.  Please help

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

  • How can I connect my iPhone to my Mac without deleting all the apps on it?

    Last night I bought a bunch of apps using iTunes on my Mac. Then I connected my iPhone and put the apps from the computer onto the iPhone. So far so good.
    Today I opened up iTunes on another Mac and before connecting the phone first selected Store > Check for available downloads. A dialog came up saying "all purchases have been downloaded for this account."
    Under preferences I checked "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.
    I then connected my iPhone to this second Mac and did the update to iOS 4.1.
    (By the way the reason I used the second Mac to do this update was that it failed repeatedly on the first Mac with an error saying something like can't create a session. I went through Apple's related troubleshooting document extremely carefully and methodically, but that didn't help. I then followed the recommendation in that document to try with a second Mac.)
    Now all my new apps as well as several others are gone from the iPhone.
    Also in iTunes itself on the second computer all my new apps are missing. I looked under the "Library" section in iTunes and a bunch of apps that I've been trying over and over for months to simply delete are present and none of the ones I bought last night are present.
    Questions:
    1. How can I get my apps back? It cost me a lot of time and money to discover those apps and get them onto the phone. Are they just gone now?
    2. How can I connect my phone to my computer without completely ******* up my phone? Does Apple provide a way to do that?
    3. Is there ANY way that I can effectively control what is and is not on my phone (apps, videos, etc.) or is that just supposed to be sort of random?
    By the way it appears that Apple doesn't allow "potty words" on its forum because we all are, after all, six year olds. So just to be clear, what I MEANT and what I WROTE was "eff u cee kay i en gee up my phone."

    Now all my new apps as well as several others are gone from the iPhone.
    Look on other screens. The 4.1 update ands Game Center to the home screen. If that screen was full it create a blank screen and moves one app from the home screen to the new screen to make room for Game Center. All the other screens are pushed back one place.
    How can I get my apps back? It cost me a lot of time and money to discover those apps and get them onto the phone. Are they just gone now?
    If they are really gone, you can download them again. You will not be charged again if you use the same iTunes account.

  • HT1420 Updating without deleting all the stuff I've bought on the road

    Hi - I'm trying to update my iPod touch to v5.5.1 as it's still on 4.1 (I've been travelling and haven't been able to update the OS on my device). It's threatening to delete all music and apps on the device unless I do it on the computer that I sync with but this is the computer I sync with. Any idea how to stop that happening? Originally I installed iTunes on my work computer which I forgot to deauthorise when I left.  How do I make this one my primary computer?
    Thanks

  • ITunes apps won't sync with iPad without deleting all the apps already on the iPad!

    I've been using my iPad with iCloud sync for a while and now have decided to go back to iTunes sync. I have a bunch of apps i downloaded on the iPad from its app store and want to keep them. However, when i go to the Itunes app section (which is grayed out) and select the sync apps button, all the apps on my iPad in the preview screen disappear!!! How can i sync apps from my computer and keep the apps already on the iPad?

    Ditto. Even the new 2.0.1 firmware made no difference. I've had no luck with iTunes in this dept at all. I can download apps to the phone, but they won't sync back to iTunes. If I download apps to iTunes, not only will they not transfer to the phone, but all the apps on the phone get wiped w/o warning.
    I've tried the following per Apple suggestions, but to no avail:
    - Reset iPhone (the home and lock button method)
    - Remove (I manually deleted all content little by little)
    - Reset Settings (done thru software, don't know how this differs from "reset iPhone" above)
    - Restore - a Huge pain in the *** for nothing. Took forever and obviously I then had to manually put all my songs, ringtones, contacts and photos back on it.
    What else is there left to try?
