Any other ways to put music on my ipod rather than synchronising it?

My computer goes really slow once i have music stored onto it which means if i sync my music to my ipod, i would then have to delete them to speed up my computer, so when i plug my ipod back in will then erase all the songs. Is there not another way to put music on? please help?

maybe this helps:

In this mode you connect the iPod to iTunes and add content to it by dragging and dropping what you want on the iPod from your iTunes library:

Turn on Assistive Touch Accessibilty feature. It add the button to the screen. Settings>Gneral>Accessibility.
Or just set the screen-lock time to an interval short enough. Settings>Genera.>Screen-Lock

HT203167 Any other way to recover music

I lost all my music from my itunes account. I found that most of my music is under my older apple ID. When I logged in it said I had to wait 90days to change the ID. Is there any other way I can recover my music?

Have you failed to maintain a backup copy?

Is there a way to put music from an ipod into the music library?

I want to put music from an ipod into the music library. Is there a way of doing it because i dont know how?

The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases. File>Transfer Purchases
Everything on your ipod should also be on your computer and included in your regular backup of your computer.

Any way to get music onto a iPod Touch without using iTunes?

I don't want iTunes on my computer. Is there any other way to get music on to my iPod Touch without it?
iTunes makes to many changes to my computer that I have no control over, sorry but it's just crappy software. I had to remove it from another computer as it disabled Outlook and kept giving errors at boot up. I also don't see why it has to copy my music to another folder and have it on my HD twice. I could go on and on and don't get me started on the iCloud bugs.

Other than iCloud or synching from iTunes, the only other option is to purchase music directly from the iTunes Store.
iTunes works just fine with Outlook on my computer and the many others I support, FWIW. And you don't have to have your music on your drive twice. You can have it anywhere on your computer and just have iTunes recognize it where it is.
Regards.

I Tunes has lost a large proportion of my music library. The music in question is however still on my IPod. Is there any way to sync backwards so the IPod updates ITunes? Or is there any other way I can try to recover the lost music files?

I Tunes has lost quite a large proportion of my music library. I think this may have happened when I tried to download a previous version of ITunes that failed to load. Whatever, the music is still on my IPod. Is there anyway files on an Ipod can be transferred back into ITunes? Or is there any other way I can try to recover my music files? Also, I no longer have any confidence in ITunes ability to store data efficiently and wonder if there is any way I can back up my IPod outside ITunes?

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

My laptop has crashed and I can't sync my iPad air. I have tried to back up off I cloud but it hasn't transferred all of my photos or music. Is there anyway I can access my iTunes account any other way?

Your iTunes account won't include your non-iTunes purchased e.g. music copied from CDs etc, nor photos that were synced from a computer.
To get non-iTunes music you will have to go via a computer. If you don't have that music on, for example, an external drive, then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back from a device : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
For photos that were originally synced from a computer then there are apps such as Simple Transfer which can copy them between devices and/or to a computer (though photos are 'optimised' as part of the syncing process, so if you do copy them back to a computer then they might not be the same as they were on your laptop).
There is also this page for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

If you want to drag and drop ( don;t know why you would do this), you will have to check manually manage music.
Why not just sync?

What is the best way of putting music onto another iphone?

What is the best way of putting music onto another iphone for a different itunes account user and different phone carrier? multiple user accounts on my mac? or home sharing to put the music on? then they have their own itunes account for apps etc?

Hi DVX100Shooter,
Congratulations on getting your son a new iPad, I am sure he will enjoy it.
Family Sharing is one way of managing both purchases and content between members of a related group of people. Each member must have their own Apple ID. You can choose what music you wish to share with the family from your own account. See this article -
OS X Yosemite: Share purchases with your family
In particular the section titled Hide a purchase from other family members
The music library on your son's iPad is separate from yours, but under Family Sharing you agree to pay for all purchases made through the iTunes store. If you wish to control what is purchased you can set up the Ask to Buy option for any family member under adult age in your location. See this article for details -
Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy - Apple Support
Gift cards may not be used for billing of purchases under family sharing, with the exception that a family member may use gift cards to purchase their own content. See this article for information about Family Sharing billing policies -
Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
The shared family photo album is available to all family members.
Family Sharing - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

No. You need a computer with iTunes and an internet connection.
Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs and then restore via iTunes:
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
and
RecBoot tip
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Is there any way to transfer music from one iPod touch to another?

Hello, friend. Yes, you may try this iPod 2 iPod software, it can help you transfer music between iPods.

I can no longer change my song names like i used to. i use to be able to right click and go to "get info" and then change the song name, artist and album, now i can't is there any other way to change the songs name and info

When I get songs and put them on my itunes accout on my computer I used to be able to rename them right clicking, going to "get info" and then renaming everything I wanted like song name, album and artwork. I also use to be able to click on the song then click and hold on it and be able to rename it. But all the songs I have gotten after the last update have not been able to be renamed in any of the old ways I use to be able to. Is there any other way to rename songs because I know I can't undo updates and that seems to be whats causing it.
Thankyou for your time

You are describing an iTunes problem, not an iPod touch problem. Try posing in the iTunes forum.
