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.

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.

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!

Downloading new music

I was downloading new music and my downloads were going fine but now there are 12 left and 3 just say processing and won't move any further. I was going to connect to my computer but my computer is being fixed at the moment.
Any tips or tricks on how to get my downloads to continue?

Had the same problem. I just rebooted my iPhone. I also canceled the remaining downloads and download them again one by one.
Don't worry if you can't download them though. You've bought them and you can download them again via iCloud.
I was so angry that the songs weren't being downloaded that I instead download additional songs thru my iPod Touch 2nd generations. After that, I checked itunes in my Iphone and saw those purchases and the others that couldn't be downloaded. I downloaded them again there. Also, the downloaded songs can be reach via itunes on your computer. Trying borrowing someone else computer.
If they have a computer and it's own iTunes, create a new iTunes that's seperate from theirs via holding on the SHIFT button and click on iTunes. It will ask if you want to create a new one. Do it, but make sure it's located on the desktop so you can delete any of your iTunes information and stuff when you're done. Also, remember to deactivate the connection from your itunes account to that computer.

I dont know the answer to my security questions so i cannot download new music

I don't know the answer to my security questions so I cannot download new music. How do I reset these questions without resetting my account?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

You can only sync everything with your one syncing computer/iTunes library. Yu can:
- Make this your syncing computer by:

- Use the manual method to copy music and videos from any computer/iTunes library to the iPod. See the manual method included here:

Downloading new music & video

HELP!!! I got my new ipod classic Saturday, but I had downloaded 3000 songs and videos when I noticed that the videos had not downloaded. When I reconnected to add my videos, it deleted all the music. Is there a way that I can keep all my music without having it deleted everytime I reconnect? I want to keep all my music and just keep adding to it. Hence, the 80 GBs I was so upset and I still was not able to download my music videos. Can anyone help me?

Updating new music to ipod

I have bought new music and videos on itunes and when I plug my usb into my pc my music update shows a warning that the music cannot be updated b/c my computer is not authorized to play the music...it is frustrating b/c I spent money on itunes and can't download the music onto my ipod.

Have you tried playing the purchased items using ITunes, whihc will authorize the computer and thus allow transfer to the IPOD.
