Can I just save my music just to my ipod and not on my computer (laptop)?

I'm still new to the ipod, so I was just wondering if it is possible to save music only to the ipod and not the computer? I've been importing music from my cd collection, and I'm starting to run out of space on my computer hard drive.
Thanks for your answer in advance!

Just a word of caution. This is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.
At the very least back up your music to either cd or dvd before deleting it, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost. See this.
How to back up your media in iTunes.
The iPod is not reliable enough to use it as a long term storage device, and these forums are littered with posts from people who decided to use it as such and ended up losing all their music.

    if from 3rd party you have to put songs on computer and sync from itunes.  Apple doesnt support syncing from ios to itunes so you will have to already have the songs on pc.

    My ipod shuffle 2nd Gen plays the music I have already on but neither
    my mac nor my windows 7 pc recognise it and it no longer charges.
    Help please

    If you've tried the iPod on multiple computers and it's playing fine, just not working with a PC or Mac I would have to say it's most likely your dock/cable. Try using a new one, or a friends.

    Why can I not just transfer my ipod (music, movies etc) info to my other macbooks?   This service stinks.

    Are you running Leopard? If so, try updating to iTunes 10.6.3.25.
    A .dmg installer for iTunes version 10.6.3.25 for Mac OS can be found at the following download page on the Apple website:

  • I don't take my ipod anywhere anymore except for home use so can i just keep my ipod on a speaker dock that constantly charges?

    I don't take my iPod classic anywhere anymore because I listen to music through my iPhone.  I still listen to my iPod at home though through my Sony speakers with a charging dock.
    Can I just leave my iPod classic on that dock?  Will the constant charging destroy my iPod and its battery?  Thanks.

    No, it will be fine. I have an iPod Photo from 2005 that I keep in my car and it is connected to the stereos dock connector 24/7. The only time I bring it in is maybe once every 6 months when I remember to load new music onto it. There were a few times when I briught it in and used my Classic in the car and left it out there as well, even in the freezing winter temps. never a problem. I also drive that car only once a week.
    I did bring it in a few weeks back and spent a few days using it to test the battery. It still lasts as long as it did on battery power as it did when I bought it. The battry icon always shows as charged when connected so it mush have a circuit that prevents the battery from being damaged. My iPod Classic was the same.

  • I just got my ipod and i have networks but it wont let me make a password i have tried to find my wi-fi password but i can't is there an app where i can get wi-fi off of it please some one help me i can't do anything on my ipod

    i just got a ipod and i can't find my wi-fi password im so mad i have alot of networks but it wont let me make a password and i have tried to find my wi-fi password is there an app or something that can help me get wi-fi on my ipod i feel so sad knowing that i cant even do anything with it

    You need to contact the people who administer the networks to get the passwords for the networks. If there was such an app as you are asking for then passwords for wifi networks would be worthless.

  • Can i use the iphone just for the ipod and wifi without simcard

    can i use the iphone just for the ipod and wifi without simcard

    Forgive me as I did this a while ago, but heres how I remember it happening:
    1. I wiped it
    2. I selected "Set up as New iPhone"
    3. It registered
    4. It was activated, and was an iPod Touch basically
    5. I sold it, so I can't try it. I now use Verizon, so no SIM, although I do have an original iPhone (retired), but can't find my old SIM.

  • Hi...Just got a Ipod and in our house we have 3 ipod touch total. Can we put 3 ipods in itune?

    Hi...Just got a Ipod and in our house we have 3 ipod touch total. Can we put 3 ipods in itune?

    Yes.  When you connect your devices, iTunes knows which one is which so you can customize what does and does not get synched to each device.
    The only caveat is each user needs to have their own unique Apple ID AND their own account on the computer so you can keep purchased apps and such separate...
    By having separate computer accounts, each user has their own "space" to put stuff in.  iTunes knows this and will make individual iTunes library folders for each user.

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • I understand that with my Photoshop/Lightroom 9.95 subscription I can activate two "machines".  Do I have to include my iPad and Android cell phone, both of which have LR Mobile installed, or can I just count my desktop and the laptop I'm getting ready to

    I understand that with my Photoshop/Lightroom 9.95 subscription I can activate two "machines".  Do I have to include my iPad and Android cell phone, both of which have LR Mobile installed, or can I just count my desktop and the laptop I'm getting ready to purchase?

    As John has correctly the two activation are for computers, for using it on i pad & android you will have to refer to :

    Be aware CS6 Applications ARE NOT the most recent applications.
    CS6 applications are older and are missing features found in the RENTAL software (CC). Paying for CS6 applications, means you are NOT paying for current features available in the RENTAL applications.
    I urge you to compare feature sets and not assume that CS6 applications contain CC features.

  • My notes just disappeared from IPOD and Mail.  Can anyone help me recover them?

    My Notes just disappeared from IPOD and Mail.  It may have been after a sync.  Can anyone help me recover them?

    Looks that something has gone wrong with the reset as you still have Firefox profile folders with a date/time stamp that a reset creates, but are using a regular default profile.<br />
    Such a new default profile is likely to have been created because of a problem with the profiles.ini file (if profiles.ini is missing the Firefox will create a new default profile).
    Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
    You can look at the time stamps or check the name of the JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder.

  • I just updated my ipod and lost most of my content, can I recover it?  Some one please helppp!!!, I just updated my ipod and lost most of my content, can I recover it?  Some one please helppp!!!

    I just updated my ipod and realized I lost most of my contents like my address book and calender dates, also all my notes and to do's, anyway I can recover them?

    I thought I'd lost my notes, too. I also have an iPad mini, and noticed the notes app icon and clicked on it. What was more obvious on the iPad was that there are different accounts; in other words, it had different sets of notes saved under different email accounts.My missing notes were saved under my icloud account, although I didn't consciously ever put the notes under any separate account. They were visible when I clicked "All Notes," too. It turns out that the phone had a different account set as the default. I changed the default on the iPhone, and there they were. I took screen shots so the notes are saved in my photos, too. This was a lot easier than checking through a lot of backups. I hope that helps. I will post this on a couple of threads I see in Apple communities. I see it's a pretty common problem. This might work on an iPod, too.
