You can put your iPod in manual mode. Here is the site.

Select either 'Music' tab or 'Photo' tab whichever you prefer to work with first. Within either tab you pick what actions you want to take place.

    - Disable autosyncing: go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods ...syncing">
    - Connect the iPod and go to the music, apps and other panes for the iPod and check the boxes that say only sync the checked items.

    You can't do this yourself; if desired, you can ask the iTunes Store staff if they'll do it, but they probably won't.

  • HT4527 I just had to clear the hard drive on my computer - now I want to transfer all the music and pictures from my ipad back onto my computer.  'Sync' doesn't do it.  What do I do?

    I had toclear the hard drive of my computer and reinstall Windows 7.  Now I want to transfer all the music and photos from my iPad back onto my computer.  I authorized the computer (it is the ONLY computer authorized on this account - and this is the ONLY account on this iPad).  ITunes then downloaded my purchases...or at least it tried - out of the hundreds of tracks I have purchased, it managed one album that I bought over a year ago and NOTHING else.  So I tried to Sync - since on older versions of iTunes (that were SO MUCH MORE user friendly) that would do the job -transferring things that were only on the iPad onto the computer and vice versa.  It doesn't do that anymore.  So I went from my iPad's summary to the Music tab - the box for Music was not checked but when I checked it said the only thing it could do was erase EVERYTHING from my iPad and replace it with what was on my computer (that ONE album).  What is going on?
    Why hasn't iTunes downloaded my other purchases since I authorized the computer? (there are over 3,000 tracks...not 18)
    How can I download my iPad to my computer?

    -Me again - it also won't upload the few new pictures I have on the computer onto the iPad without deleting all the photos that are already there....

  • How do I get iTunes to play all the songs and albums from the same artist?

    Before the update, you used to be able to play all the songs from the same artist across all albums (ie: you have 2 albums from the same artist, you start one, it would play through both in order).  Why did this change, and is there some way to get it to work?

    Have you read the link that roaminggnome posted ? What you can redownload will depend upon what country that you are in (music, films, TV shows can't be redownloaded in all ; audiobooks and ringtones are one-time only downloads), whether the item is still in your country's store (content providers occasionally remove them), and whether you've moved countries since buying/downloading them.

  • How can i find all the songs that deleted from my nano 6th gen after updating?  It deleted them out of my itunes library as well

    When I updated my Mom's Ipod Nano 6th generation it deleted all the songs in one playlist and then deleted them off my main computer.  How can I restore these songs without having to repurchase them?

    Hi Luinsan,
    It sounds like you’re looking for a way to recover lost music that was purchased from the iTunes Store. The article linked below should help, it will walk you through the process of downloading past purchases.

    And, you can some additional options in this article:

  • How do I move all the apps and podcasts from one mac to another mac?

    What is the best way to move all the apps and iTunes content (songs, podcasts, etc) from one Mac to another Mac?  I am switching to a newer computer.  I connect (with cables) an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2 to the old computer for syncing.

    Take a look at this.
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    When I recently got a new MacBook, I set it up with Times Machine using a backup of the old computer. It could not have been easier. If you use Time Machine - that will copy the contents of the old Mac to the new Mac - iTunes library included. You will have to authorize the new Mac in iTunes - Store>Authorize this computer.
    There are ways of copying the purchased contents from the iPad to the new iTunes library as well if you need to do that. But as long as you have the old Mac - copying the library and putting it on the new Mac makes the most sense.

  • I have an ipod touch that i first recieved in the united states, now i am currently residing in canada. my question is can i have an itunes account from both countries without wiping out all the songs and apps. on my ipod??

    please help, i am wondering if i can have both an itunes account from the usa and canada on the same ipod without wiping out my music and apps.???

    You can retain the apps and music for the USA account.  However, you can only use the iTunes store in the country you are physically located.  Thus, you can't update the USA purchased app when in Canada.  See the following too:

  • How do i transfer only the songs i want to my ipod nano?

    I just got an ipod nano today and have installed iTunes and have charged my nano. Now iTunes seems to be putting songs in an iTunes music folder in my 'my music' folder by itself. I dont want every song from 'my music' to be put in the iTunes folder so how do i stop this and copy them there myself? And also on iTunes when i click on Library it comes up with hunderds of songs. Once my albums have copied i only want those and i dont want the other hundereds of single songs i have that are not part of real albums. So how do i make sure only the albums i want are put on the nano? Finally, how do i move music to the nano or does the fact the albums seem to be appearing in an iTunes music folder by themselves mean those are in my ipod?

    Hi Richard, you're great to help out, but the checkbox thing is pretty convoluted, in my opinion.
    I recommend using smart playlists to sync to iPod.
    Creating a Smart Playlist
    You can choose to have a playlist automatically created from specific songs in your library using Smart Playlists. You can create a Smart Playlist that includes only certain types of music, songs with high ratings, or songs that match other criteria. For example, you could create a playlist that's no more than 5 gigabytes (GB) in size, and includes only your highest rated jazz songs.
    Choose File > New Smart Playlist.
    To have iTunes add songs that match specific criteria, make sure "Match the following condition" is checked, then make your selections from the pop-up menus.
    For example, you might want iTunes to only add songs that are by a particular artist, or songs with at least a four-star rating.
    To add additional matching criteria, click the Add button.
    To make the playlist a specific duration or size, select "Limit to" and make your selections from the pop-up menus.
    To include only songs that have a checkmark beside them in your library (and that match your conditions), select "Match only checked songs."
    To have iTunes continually modify your Smart Playlist as songs are added to or removed from your library, make sure "Live updating" is selected.
    To create your Smart Playlist, click OK, then name the playlist in the Source list.
    Any songs in your library that match the settings you chose are added to the playlist. A Smart Playlist icon has a gear icon on it.

  • Here's how I successfully transferred all my Contacts and Pictures from PC!

    Hi,
    By no means a detailed How-To, but I wanted to share my experience in transferring my contacts and music from a PC with Vista to a new Mac. Note that my contacts were "Windows Contacts" (not Outlook), and the events I had on my calendar where not really synced in the PC, I just had them on the iPhone.
    But I had this question on another forum, and I guess some people might have similar issues:
    (I also transferred all my songs)
    Just in case someone has a similar issue, here's how it all went down:
    1. I backed up iTunes from the PC with built in backup function.
    2. De-authorized songs in the PC right after.
    3. After setting up the iMac, I loaded the backup DVD. I opened iTunes on the new iMac and selected "import" and pointed to the DVD. (If your library is too big, use several Dual-Layered DVD's as the backups can performed on several discs)
    4. It imported the entire music Library, shows in playlists as "Imported Library 2007-28-11"
    5. Clicked on "authorize" and done.
    HERE IS WHERE THE STRESS STARTED, OR SO I THOUGHT
    6. Connected the iPhone, it immediately asked if I wanted to sync up the pictures. I clicked "yes". Sent all pictures TAKEN WITH THE iPHONE to iPhoto.
    7. Clicked on the iPhone icon on the sidebar in iTunes (where the sync and restore options are), navigated to the "info" tab, selected contacts and calendar and synced.
    8. Gave me a warning message saying info on MY iMAC would be altered by more than 5%, I said OK and TA-DAN! I had my calendar synced with iCal and my contacts synced with Address book! All the info on my iPhone actually transferred to the iMac with NO HASSLES!.
    Not only that, Safari was able to import all my bookmarks from Firefox on my PC! This is most awesome and unexpected! The only thing I noticed is that my purchased songs from my old iTunes on the PC do not appear under "Purchased" in my new iTunes; so when I synced up the iPhone with the music, they also DO NOT appear in the phone under the "purchased" playlist. The songs are there, and they work fine, they just don't appear on that particular playlist, they appear on the main Library and under the "Backup" Library...
    Still, that's a minor detail. Everything went smooth and I love my new Mac!
    Switch from PC = Easy!

    Well, you can disable the automatic start up of iTunes. That is done in Edit>preferences>Devices and place a checkmark by "prevent iPods, iPhones, etc". Have you been syncing the iPhone in the past? If so, were you using a supported application to sync your address book to? As far as pictures are concerned, you are generally prompted to import your pictures, and if it was me and I took a series of important pictures, the FIRST thing I would have done when I got to the computer was to import the photos.
    Check your Windows Address book to see if they are there. If not, you will not be able to recover them.

  • How do I put all my music and pictures from my macbook air to an external hard drive ?

    My macbook air is already full - I transfered everything from my desktop as soon as I got home with my new laptop.  As it is already full, I would like to put all my pictures and all my music on a external hard drive.  I am unsure how to do that.  I've 'slide' the file to the external hard drive, but now, my computer is bizarre.  If I'm in iphoto, I can see photos, but they then dissapear, etc.  It's just bizarre and I feel this is not normal.

    To transfer your music to an external drive see this knowledgebase article from Apple. For iPhoto, see this article. This is doable but the downsides are (1) you can only use iTunes or iPhoto when you are connected to your external drive. If you forget and launch the program without the drive connected you'll see nothing. Even worse, if you aren't careful (2) you might forget and download photos or music while the external drive isn't connected and then you have a mess.

  • HT201317 How do I get all the photos and videos I already have on my ipad and iphone over to photo stream to bring up on my PC

    CAn you please tell me how I can get all the photos and video from my iPad and iPhone that aren't in photo stream so I can get them from my iCloud onto my PC please.

    If you don't physically have the phone then there is no way for you to get the photos or videos.
    Have you been backing up your phone?  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766  if so, you can restore that backup to your new phone and get all your contents back.
