Can't take songs off puter without itunes taking same songs off ipodnano :(

I can't keep all of my music on my puter due to space. I put CDs on my puter then onto ipod then remove CDs from puter but then when I connect, and itunes syncs, it removed previously installed CDs. I am new to ITUNES so how can I install songs onto ipod and just leave them on the ipod regardless of whats on my computer when I connect and itunes syncs?
Thank you for your time and help.

You can do this if you turn off automatic synchronization. Connect your iPod and go to the iPod Options and select the "Manually manage" option. It will then not automatically remove the items from the iPod if you delete them from iTunes. You'll have to drag songs and videos from your library or playlist to iPod in the Source list to add new tracks.
Note that it's not a good idea to depend solely on your iPod to have your only copy of items that you've purchased from the iTunes Store or that would otherwise be difficult to replace. I strongly recommend that you make a backup copy of such material (on CD, DVD, or an external hard drive) before you delete it from iTunes.

  • I have a few iPods that cut off the ends of quite a few songs.  When I play the same songs on iTunes, they play through.  It's only the iPods that cut off.  What can I do to fix this?

  • My iTunes says there are 17 songs it cannot locate. How do I locate which songs these are without clicking on each song in my whole library?

    My iTunes says there are 17 songs it cannot locate. How do I locate which songs these are without clicking on each song in my whole library?

    To locate all of the broken links in your library try:
    Lost & Found Playlists
    Create a regular playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist (it may take some time to count the tracks that are to be dropped). Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist. They can be deleted with Ctrl+A to select them and then Shift+Delete to discard them.
    The exercise can be repeated with different media sources if needed.
    Or try iTunes Folder Watch with its option to check for dead tracks on startup.

  • Can You Reset or Restore iPhone without iTunes?

    Phone is seriously frozen, Can You Reset or Restore iPhone without iTunes?

    I recently had a similar problem, turn the phone off, once off, hold down the home button, until you see a icon of a white usb wire with the words, connect to iTunes.
    connect the phone to a usb port on your computer, iTunes will boot up, and the restore process will begin, make certain you are connected to the internet, since, once the process is completed, the phone will require activation, as well as need to download the restore software....

    Your email provider has blocked the standard mail port 25 for sending emails and is requiring a different port. This is to avoid mail relays that use mail clients to send spam. You need to find the port that is used by your provider for sending outgoing mail. Then change the settings in your email account on your phone to match the port. You will also have to provide some security credentials for the account.
    You can also try deleting the email account from your iphone, and the adding the email account back as this will many times set the correct port for sending emails.
    You could also do a Google search on the the settings for your device with your email provider. That will provide you with the proper settings.

  • I recently purchased 3 CD's, some of the songs are cut off in the middle of the song.  Itunes sent me a link several times to redownload the songs, but each time either the same songs or different songs would be cut short each time I redownloaded the CD's

    I recently purchased 3 CD's, some of the songs are cut off in the middle of the songs.  Several times ITunes sent me a link to redownload the CD's or certain songs and each time either the same songs or different songs on the CD's would be cut short.  What could be causing this?

  • Itunes syncing same songs

    itunes syncs same songs that i already have in my library. can someone please tell me how to stop this?

    Me too. Any song or video I recently played on iTunes, syncs when I connect my Touch to my Mac. I already have the songs/videos in the Touch. Why does it sync them again?

  • I have my songs set to shuffle, but the same song just keeps repeating.

    I have my songs set to shuffle, but the same song just keeps repeating itself and I have to manually advance.

    Are you simply shuffling a list containing one song?  When the song plays and you see the album art, do you see "1 of 1" on top?

  • Can not check Sync Music box on iTunes to transfer song to ipod on iphone

    I have a play list I want to transfer to my iphone's iPod.  The Sync Music box in iTunes is grey and when I check this box here is the message that appears.
    Are you sure you want to sync music? All existing songs and playlists on the iPhone “Denise’s iPhone” will be replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library.
    I want only to move this play list.  How can I get this to sync without replacing all of my library?

    You are trying to sync media with a computer other than the one your phone is configured to sync with. You can't do this. The iPhone can sync media with 1 and only 1 computer at a time. If you want to sync with this one instead, you will have to allow it to wipe the media from the phone and replace it with the media from the computer you're trying to sync to now.  This is by design.

  • I loaded my Iphone3 from Itunes and I don't know how to delete these songs and put a new set of songs into my phone

    I loaded my Iphone 3 from Itunes and don't understand how to delete all these songs to add a new library of songs
    Can I do it from my Iphone or do I have to do it through Itunes.  HELP plz!

    You can delete songs direct from the iPhone.
    To add additional songs from your iTunes library on your computer is done with iTunes on your computer via the iTunes sync process. You can remove all the existing and transfer different songs, albums, genres, etc.
