I have a lot of songs on my ipod that are not in my itunes. Not sure why, but I'm wondering if I sync them, will I lose all of these song that are on my ipod, but not in Itunes?

I pretty much summed it up in my question. The only other pertinent detail may be that I have switched computers? I have already authorized this computer.
Thanks!

Hey Raffiecat,
Thanks for the question. If your iPod is setup to manually manage content, you can add content from multiple libraries:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod

When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad.
You can also learn which content you can import to your new computer from your iPod:

Or, if you still have access to the previous computer, you can transfer your iTunes Library:

How do I delete songs that are "on this iphone"?

I am trying to sync my iphone with itunes. I am attempting to delete the songs listed under "on this iphone" and there seems to be no possible way to delete them in itunes. I have successfully deleted from my iphone while it's not connected to itunes, but once I connect my phone to itunes, all of the songs sync back onto my phone. How do I delete them from my phone permanently??

Hi there,
Is your iPhone set to automatically sync content? If so, select Manually Manage in order to be able to determine the content you wish to add.

Can I restore imap emails that are on my iphone but not on gmail?

Boy did I goof!
I was in gmail and I thought all of the e-mails in the All Mail folder were old/deleted emails. I checked the first hundred and they were all old. So I deleted them and that moved them to the Trash. Then I deleted the Trash. Apparently ALL of my e-mails were in the All Mail folder...makes sense, but that's not what it appeared when I looked in the All Mail folder to make sure that wasn't the case.
I use IMAP with my gmail account. They are gone when I log into gmail. They are gone in Thunderbird. But I have not updated my mail on my iPhone...any chance I can recover them from there? My guess is no, but thought I'd ask.
Thanks!

I don't believe there's any way to do that, no. As soon as the mail client connects with the server for any reason, it will sync with the server, deleting them from the phone as well.

It wont let me delete them on my iphone and they dont show up in my itunes library so i cant delete them there. I also have automatic downlaods switched to OFF. How do i delete these songs from my iphone? I dont want them in my library. And Ive tried downloading them and then deleting them, but it still wont let me delete them even after dowloadling.

Hello BKBrown65,
I understand that your iPod touch is not recognized by iTunes. The following article may help to resolve your issue:

HT1751 how do i move songs that are in separate albums into the same album?

how do i move songs that are in separate albums into the same album?

Of course it should, but if it doesn't do you want fix it or leave it broken? iTunes draws on the CDDB database for track details. That database is incomplete, contains errors, and isn't explicitly designed to be "iTunes friendly". If you download an album from the iTunes store then the tracks should normally be grouped together, although there are ways of sorting the Songs view that will always break things up. If you purchase from Amazon, elsewhere, or rip your CDs then you may sometimes need to make a minor update to the tags to tidy things up. Which workaroud is needed depends on context, but the most common one of setting an Album Artist takes a few seconds.

how to link the songs that are in itunes to my account so i can to me sale

You'll need to copy the content on your iPod back to your iTunes library first. Once you have successfully done that you can safely erase and sync your iPod.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

How can I import songs that are protected wma

how can I import songs that are protected wma?

Sorry, but you can't. iTunes can neither import nor play any protected Windows Media content. You'll have to ask the source of your tracks how to get them unprotected, if such a service is offered.

How do I remove a song that is on my device but not in my selected library?

How do I remove a song that is on my device but not in my selected library?

There is no way to delete songs from an iPod.
Nothing will be touched on your iPod in regards to iTunes content with the first sync with iTunes on your new computer if you transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer following the simple instructions included with the link provided. Certainly as a Windows user you maintain a backup for all important data which should include your iTunes library? Important regardless the platform but even more so with Windows due to constant virus, adware, and spyware concerns. Or do most Windows users start with a new computer from scratch without transferring any data from an old computer to a new computer due to constant virus, adware, and spyware concerns?
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store only from an iPod - really. As the largest distributor for music and as #1 by far in MP3 player sales, this is required by those who own the distribution rights for the music. Part of an effort to prevent or minimize stealing music by those who own the distribution rights.

You will not lose anything by changing the AppleID on your iPhone.

How to i transfer playlists from my iPod to iTunes? They are all on my iPhone but not on iTunes how do i get them on there?

How to i transfer playlists from my iPhone to iTunes? They are all on my iPhone but not on iTunes how do i get them on there?

iTunes will only transfer purchases back to your computer using the iTunes > File > Transfer purchases from XXX's iPhone. It will not transfer playlists or non-purchased songs.
Here is an application that will transfer playlists and non-purchases (from iTunes) songs. There is a free demo limited to 1,000 songs or you can buy the full featured version for $18.99. http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/

I downloaded some albums using my iphone, i then synced it with my PC. Now all the album artwork has gone from the songs i downloaded on my iphone, but not on the itunes on the pc. How can i get the artwork back on my iphone?

I downloaded some albums using my iphone (3GS), I then synced it with my PC. Now all the album artwork has disappeared off my iphone but not off itunes on the PC. How can I get the album artwork back onto my iphone?

I had the similar problem last night and found a solution (although it takes more than a few clicks). Highlight all the album tracks in itunes on the pc and right click "get info". Check the artwork box in this window. I found that the now playing art was showing up in the itunes window, but on songs that were missing artwork showed nothing in the get info box. When I replaced the artwork by using the artwork command, or manually adding it into the "get info" window. It was annoying but my iphone updated every album.

When syncing my iTunes to my iPad from the laptop, I get a list of missing songs; they are in the library, but not in the music folder on my HD. In particular, I uploaded 3 CDs at the same time, all are in my library - but two are missing from the folder.

In particular, I uploaded 3 CDs at the same time, all are in my library, and all synced to the iPad - but the music from two of them are missing from the music folder. Questions are (a) where might they have gone? and (b) is there a way of "reverse loading" them back to my hard drive from the iPad? Thanks in advance!

Hi dones49,
It sounds like your issue here is that iTunes can not find the files for some of the songs you have brought into it. This happens occasionally even if the songs have not been moved from the location that iTunes places them on import or purchase. When you try to use the song, iTunes prompts you to find the file, as you have seen.
To find the file, use the information in this article to navigate through the iTunes media folders -
Locate and organize your iTunes files
If you are still unable to locate the files, you may need to download them from the iTunes store again, or rip them from your CDs. See this article for assistance with downloading your past purchases -
Download past purchases
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Purchased song that went into my lbrary but not to my ipod

Purchased song that went into my library but not into my ipod shuffle

You probably need to set up (or update) automatic syncing.
Find the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES, and select it there. If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
With the shuffle selected in iTunes, there is a bar of buttons near the top, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This is the shuffle's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the shuffle.
Check the box for Sync Music. You can choose to sync Entire music library, if your iTunes music library is small and fits on the shuffle. With this setting, your entire iTunes music library syncs to the shuffle, and new songs get synced automatically. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Then, select (checkmark) the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres you want on the shuffle from the lists below. If you want newly added songs to sync to the shuffle, they must be part of your selection. For example, you can add them to a playlist that you have selected for syncing to the shuffle.
When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the shuffle. Going forward, changes to your iTunes library (based on your settings on the shuffle's Music screen) sync automatically to the shuffle, the next time it is connected (or when you click Sync).
This document has more general information about ways to load content on a shuffle.

HT201269 My Ringtones are in my Purchases, but not on iTunes download?

My Ringtones are in my Purchases, but not on iTunes download, and don't appear in Tones?

I know that there is a way to go into my ipod files and pull out all of the songs as I have done it before. Would it work to create a new library, pull all of the ipod music files into it, and then match that to my current iTunes match account? Also, do you know, if I do that am I starting the entire match process over again or will Match recognize the files that it has already matched from my previous librarly? If I have to start the entire process over again, I might reconsider as it has taken FOREVER due to my ISP.
Thanks again for your help and input.
