Can you put music on iPod Classic without them being on your computer?

Hey, I have about 140GB of music on an external hard drive, and I have a new iPod Classic 160GB. My MacBook is only 120GB and a lot of it is used. Is there any way for me to put it on straight from my hard drive to the iPod with out it being on my computer?

The music needs to be in your iTunes library.
If your music is all in one folder on the external hard drive, you can point iTunes to this folder and have that be your new library. This option is in iTunes Preferences, under Advanced.
If you need clarification, let me know.

  • How do you download music from  Ipod Classic to computer?

    How do you download music from ipod classic to computer

    If your music collection was purchased from iTunes, you are in a good shape since that music is forever yours under your iTunes account. Therefore, after installing iTunes on your new computer, sign into your account and see all your music under "Purchsed". Then simply download it to be phisically present onto your computer (for free since you've already paid for it).
    On the other hand if you happens to not be a sucker to waist money on iTunes and your collection was ripped from the internet (via torrents and such), you need some third party software to copy iPod music, here is a guide about how to transfer music from iPod classic to computer. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • Can I put music from iPod Shuffle, synced to computer A, onto iPhone4, synced to computer B?

    Can I put music from old iPod Shuffle, synced to computer A, onto new iPhone4, synced to computer B?  Both devices and both computers belong to me.  Computers are not on same LAN.

    You can if the music was puchased with the same AppleID.
    Synch the iPod Shuffle with computer B to get it's songs onto that computer.  Then resynch the iPhone4 to computer B.

  • How many songs can you put in an Ipod touch 64GB if you only use it for music?

    I've heard the Ipod classic 160GB is discontinued. Could someone tell me how many songs you can put in the Ipod touch 64GB if you exclusively use it for music and don't put any photos, videos or anything?

    I just did some quick figuring. There are a lot of variables. My 64gb 5th gen touch has only 56.6gb capacity so says the unit. Settings>General>About.
    MP3 formatted songs vary greatly. I quickly perused my collection and found that the size varied from 3-7MB per song. Using the average of 4MB per song,(7MB is a rather large file for MP3) you will come up with 56.6 X 1024MB (1024 MB per 1GB) =57958MB/4 =14489 songs. This will probably never happen as there is cover artwork and different variables because of file size to consider. This gives you an Idea where to start.

  • I am totally ignorant when it comes to these products.  How can I put music on my shuffle without paying for it on itunes?  Can't I find a song somewhere and where and then transfer it to my shuffle somehow.  I have been trying for 3 hours.

    I am totally ignorant when it comes to these products and devices.  I have a ipod shuffle, 4th generation.  I want to find music, without purchasing a song on itunes  and then copy it to my shuffle.  Is this possible.  If so, where do I find the music and how do I get it to my shuffle.  I have been trying for 3 hours and about to give up. Please help me.

    Yes, of course.  iTunes was around before there was an iTunes Store.  And I think Apple cares MORE that you purchased an iPod, and LESS about where you get your music to play on the iPod.
    You can buy music the "old school" way, on CD, and "rip" them into your iTunes library using iTunes.
    You can download/buy music from other sources, as longs as the format is MP3 or AAC, and don't use copy protection (DRM).  NOTE:  iTunes Store music downloads do not use any DRM. 
    One example is Amazon.com. 
    http://www.amazon.com/MP3-Music-Download/b/ref=sa_menu_mp3_str1?ie=UTF8&node=163 856011
    They offer a utility called Amazon MP3 Downloader, which automatically places your downloads into your iTunes library.
    If the source just provides you with the downloaded song files, all you need to do is open a window showing the files or the folder containing the files.  Run iTunes and select Music in the sidebar, under LIBRARY.  Then drag the songs files or the folder containing the files from its window to the iTunes window, and drop them there.  iTunes will add the songs to your iTunes library.
    Once the songs are in your iTunes library, you can automatically sync or manually load them onto your shuffle.

  • MISSING ITUNES SONGS AND HOW CAN YOU PUT SONGS FROM IPOD ONTO ITUNES?

    i opened my itunes one day and all 654 of my songs were GONE. the entire itunes was blank, as if it was newly installed. it wasn't.
    I have an ipod mini, and that still contains the songs since i did not attach my ipod to my computer when i saw that it was empty. my ipod still has 654 songs. But the problem is, that i wont be able to put new songs if my itunes is blank.
    How do you transfer songs from the ipod to the itunes? Usually when you connect the ipod, it automatically updates, so how will i be able to do that. I have new CDs and i want to put some of those songs on my ipod, but i wont be able to do that if my itunes makes my ipod blank. I called apple support but it costs 29 freaking dollars to help me.
    Can anyone help?
      Windows XP  

    okay, well it has been a long time since i have done this, but i will try to do it to the best of my memory.
    uninstall itunes.
    then reinstall it.
    plug your ipod in.
    a box will pop up that says something like would you like to connect your ipod to this library?
    click NO.
    then, on the sidebar there should be a boldfaced DEVICE sign.
    your ipod should show up.
    go to summary
    then check managely manage my music, and then update.
    this means that when you plug your ipod in, you will have to put the music in yourself. this is good because you can pick and choose, and you can delete songs off your ipod if you do not like it anymore. also, you have the ability to play the music on your computer when your ipod is plugged in. hope that helps..

  • Can you sync music from ipod to a computer

    My hard drive on my apple computer failed and was replaced. My music library is gone but I have it all on my ipod touch. Can I sync the ipod music to my Apple computer.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
    Use your backup copy to put everything on the new hard drive.
    The music sync is one way -computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases

  • HT1296 can I transfer music from ipod to itunes after reinstalling itunes on computer?

    Recently had to factory restore my computer after detecting a nasty bug which wiped out everything I had on my computer. Is there a way to download my music from my Ipod touch to my computer? I haven't had any luck by plugging my Ipod to the computer via USB cord and am wondering if there is a way to do it at all without having to manually download the cd's myself? Thanks!
