Download new music onto ipod registered to other user

Hi-
I was given an old ipod from an acquaintance because he was upgrading to video. I wanted to download some of my own music onto it- I realized that this could erase the entire contents, but that was ok. When I first connected it to the computer it recognized the ipod, but when I downloaded itunes it is now not recognized by the computer or itunes, and now won't turn on at all. I am afraid it is toast...is there a way to reformat it to be my ipod, or is this a security function? Thanks- I am new to this.

There are some things you can try in order to get the iPod recognized.
However, you haven't given us any computer info and the steps to take are different for Windows users or Mac users.
Without this info, it's almost impossible to give any meaningful help.

Downloading new music to IPOD

Okay....someone please tell me why I keep losing my prior music downloads when ever I download new music? For saving space on my computer I always remove the music I download to Itunes is this why? Is it possible to save what I have downloaded on my IPod when I download new music?

When the iPod is set to sync automatically, music that isn't in iTunes will be deleted from it when it is plugged in. You can turn this off by setting the iPod to sync manually.

Will not download new music onto iphone or libary!

I just got a new computer(hp). I downloaded Itunes and switched over my music. Now I tried adding new music into Itunes and it will not let me. Also will not let me add new music to my iphone? PLease help thank you!

Perhaps the settings have changed, it has been known to happen ("by itself") when iTunes is updated!
Connect your iPod to iTunes and check the Device/Music pane. Typically, the *Sync Music* box should have a tick in it and the *Entire Music Library* radio button should be selected (it will have a "spot" inside). In addition, the songs in your library need to have a tick in their box too.
If any other option is selected, then that's probably why the new songs have not been imported to your iPod. If you change any of these settings now, you need to Sync again after the changes for them to take eefect.

Unable to put new music onto my ipod nano

Please, please can someone help me. I am unable to load any new music onto my ipod. When I put the cd into my the computer drive a message comes up "newer version of quick time required. Quick time version 7.0.2. is installed, itunes requires quick time version 7.0.03 or later. Please reinstall itunes.
I have reinstalled itunes - it still comes up with the same message. I have downloaded quick time from the website (windows version with and without itunes) and it still won't let me do anything and comes up with the same error message. After 2 hours of this - I've rather had enough of Apple and what at the moment is a rather defunct piece of equipment!
I would really appreciate any help that can be given. As you might of noticed I'm not a technical person...
Thanks.

How do I sync music onto old iPod when my music is on iTunes match? I have connected the iPod to my mac but it indicates no music to sink (as my music is in the cloud). I assume there is a simple way to resolve without downloading all music onto my mac?

How do I sync my music onto an old iPod when my music is located on iTunes match? I have connected the iPod to my mac but it indicates no music to sink (as my music is stored in the cloud). I assume there is a simple way to resolve without downloading all music onto my mac as this would be ridiculous?
Any halp with this would be excellant.
Thanks :P

Hi,
Your old pod can only sync with music that is physically in your itunes library and on your hard drive. Therefore there is simple way to resolve is to download your music to your hard drive.

You can sync music and videos from multiple computer/iTunes library if you sync manually. Manually syncing is included here:

To use itunes 10.7 you need to have Snow Leopard operating system installed
These are the system requirements
System Requirements:
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply.
If you can run Snow Leopard you need to purchase it

I cant download new music to my ipod. I am now using a new computer with Windows 8.

I cant download new music to my ipod. I am now using a new computer with Windows 8. Itunes is now on the new computer. New songs apear there and will play on the computer.

I plugged my ipod into the computer, it "interacted" briefly, but when finished, the new songs were not on the ipod. (It is an older ipod I have had for years). I just read on a different post how to access the latest itunes program update. I did that, then plugged the ipod into the computer again. The ipod is now real busy interacting with the computer a lot longer. Maybe that fixed it. I will let you know after it is finished. Thanks for the help!
