New computer: Can I upload new songs from my new computer to my old ipod without deleting the playlists that already exist??

I recently had to purchase a new computer due to my old one shooting sparks and almost setting fire to my furniture when I used it. I can use it rarely to try to get my itunes loaded to transfer over, but it usually doesn't cooperate. I now have a bunch of new songs on my new itunes from purchases and also uploading old cd's. I want to be able to add these songs to my playlists I already have mostly because I use my ipod to work out and also, there are a large amount of songs from my old computer on playlists currently. Is there anyway to make new playlists from my new computer onto my old ipod??

You should be backing up regularly so you can transfer your library to the new computer.
Otherwise, you can transfer purchases

For non-purchased content you will need to find a 3rd party app

Cannot sync song from iTunes playlist to iPod Classic

I haven't been able to sync a song from one of my playlists in iTunes to my iPod ever since I've updated from earlier programs. The song was added to the playlist manually, but that never mattered before. If I can't clear this up I'm afraid my iPod is useless!

You could try creating a new playlist from that one. Select the complete Playlist and then select New Playlist from selection. In my screenshot, I right-clicked to get this pop-up menu, your iTunes may look slightly different, but the choice will be there somewhere (try the + icon in the bottom left of the iTunes window).
Once you have created the new Playlist, try Syncing that to your iPod. If only that song is missing, that suggests there is something wrong with the song that prevents it going onto your iPod. But if the complete (new) Playlist fails to transfer, then that suggests that something is wrong with your Sync preferences.

I cannot sync things from my itune's library to my ipod touch.It's says that I cannot sync because it hasn't started yet on my ipod, which is nonsense!Please help me!!!!

Downloading Songs from a new iTunes onto an old ipod

Please help me. I'm about to go on vacation and want new songs to listen to. My old iTunes program was on my laptop, which promptly broke a couple months ago and I haven't gotten around to getting the songs out of the old iTunes to put on my new computer. My NEW iTunes has about 20 songs that I've bought on it, and I would like to download those all together without deleting the 500+ songs on my iPod. every time I try to manually upload iTunes says it "has had an error and needs to close." Please help with this!

if you have your ipod has enabled disk use you can find your address book in the finder insides the your ipod in the contracts folder and most likely called iSync.vcf. Double click it and Address Book will do the rest.
As for you purchases under file in iTunes go to "Transfer Purchases from iPod"

HT1351 Sync Apple Nano to a new lap top?

Hot to sync my Apple Nano to a new lap top?

Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.

I HAVE A TOUCH 4.3. MY COMPUTER DIED AND NOW HAVE A NEW LAP TOP. I HAD SYNCED PHOTOS FROM THE COMPUTER TO THE TOUCH THAT APPEAR IN FOLDERS. THEY WERE NOT ORIGINALLY TAKEN WITH THE TOUCH. NOW HAVE A NEW COMPUTER AND WANT TO GET THESE PHOTOS FROM THE IPOD TO NEW PC OTHERWISE ARE LOST. MY LAPTOP IN WINDOWS 7

To get synced photos from an iPod to a computer you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView.

HT1688 all i want to do is add songs from my new computer to my iphone 4s. But that doesnot seem to be working.. Itunes wnats me to sync and lose all my music on my iphone. This is very frustrating i dont want to lose over 700 songs!!!!

Itunes is not letting me add songs from my new computer to my iphone.
Instead it wants me to sync my music library and lose all the songs on my phone. i have over 700 songs i cannot lose them just because i want to add 10 new songs... PLEASE HELP. also i am using the new CONFUSSING ITUNES 11.

This has always been the case.
All iphones have always only synced to one computer at a time.
Syncing to another will indeed erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.

You can sync with one and only one computer at a time. Sycning to another will indeed erase the content from the ipod and replace with content from the new computer.
You should copy everything from the old computer to the new one.

Cannot drag songs from my music library to new playlist, nor re-arrange old playlists

OK. I have read a lot of old posts (2008-09) with the same problem with older versions, but I have a new iMac running 10.6 and iTunes 10.5.2 and I cannot drag songs from my library to a new playlist I've created. And now I cannot change the play order within a playlist. I have contacted Apple and they couldn't help me either. I even talked to a supervisor. He was stumpped. It looks like a bug has infected the system. I have an older iMac and iTunes on the same network, but it doesn't have the same prioblem. I believe if it works, don't update.
I have tried all the tricks I could find to work around this and no change.
This is so frustrating that a simple, but blessed manuver that I have loved is now broke.
Help!

"ok and how exactly do i do that? "
Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.
Did you fail to maintain a backup? That is not good.
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphon: File>Transfer Purchases

HT1386 My old computer crashed and I can't sync new songs from my new computer to my IPod without erasing all of the existing content on the IPod. Can new songs be added without erasing?

My old computer crashed and I can't sync new songs from my new computer to my IPod without erasing all of the existing content on the IPod. Can new songs be added without erasing?

Yes by:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
However, you can make this computer the syncing computer by:
- Transering iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music
- For synced photos you need a program like TouchCopy or PhoneView. The do music too.
- After everything is on the computer connect the iPod to the computer and make a backupo by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps, music, synced photos.

My husband just got an iPad and we are wondering if he can sync the iPad to my lap top since I already have my iPhone synced to the laptop. We do not want to intermix the contacts, photos, etc from his iPad onto my iPhone or my iPhone info onto his iPad.

You should be able to sync both to the same iTunes - I sync my iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch to the same computer. With the iPad connected and selected on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, you can use the tabs on the right-hand side to select which of your iTunes content to sync to it, so you can control which apps, photos, music etc are synced to it, and (via the Info tab) from which email account your contacts are synced from. Your computer's iTunes should remember your syncing preferences for each device.
