How do I sync itunes with my ipod touch without erasing my songs

I buy my songs using the wifi store on my itouch, then I transfer them to my pc. When I synced it, it told me it will have to erase my songs, since I already transfered the songs, I would. But there was a "problem syncing" and it erased my songs and I had to BUY them again. How do I sync it

- Transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Then connect the iPod to your computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod fom that backup.
You can also redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    How do I sync my 3rd gen ipod touch after installing the latest version of itunes?

    Correction: Thank you FoxFifth for the good information. I did find this information earlier before landing here in the support community. I have come to the end and I am uncertain about trying to reset my I-pod touch to the factory settings. I was satisfied with the older version of i-tunes. Can someone direct me how to downgrade i-tunes perhaps?

    You can only sync with one computer. I would backup to one computer and then restore from backup.

    i tried to sync my ipad to my itunes using usb but it will say not charging,, i can sync with my ipod touch without any problem... please help..

    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4060 :
    The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter. When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
    iPods need less power to charge them (their wall charger is half the power of the iPad's, 5W as opposed to 10W), so are more likely to charge via USB

  • ITunes is not recognizing my iPod so I cannot sync my music, but I can use home sharing and it will work... How do I make iTunes recognize my iPod touch?

    I've had my iPod touch for over a year now, and I haven't used it or iTunes in a while. I updated iOS on my iPod and updated to the newest version of iTunes earlier. Now that I have put some new music in my music library (not from iTunes), iTunes will not recognize my iPod, but if I turn on Home Sharing, it will sync to my iPod... Which would be fine, but I have to have Wi-Fi all the time for that to work, and sometimes I don't have Wi-Fi when I leave my house. So how do I make iTune recognize my iPod?

    Here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    or
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

  • Hi, is there a way to sync my iPod classic with my iPod touch without using a pc? I have also have an iPad2 if that can help??

    HI, I have an iPod touch with all my songs on it and also have a 5th gen classic which is connected to my car. My laptop died on me a while back and I replaced it with an iPad 2.  I now am unsure how I can keep updating my classic seeing as I no longer have a pc with iTunes on it?
    IS there a way I can continue purchasing music via my iPod touch/iPad and then sync them with my iPod classic for he car?  I don't really want to have to buy a new laptop just for iTunes!
    I have seen iTunes match being talked about and am wondering if this could be a solution, but again not sure how I will get new purchases on I the classic as its not wireless etc?!
    THanks in advance for any help.

    No.  You can sync content directly from an iPod to another iPod or iPad.  The content you wish to transfer needs to be in your iTunes library first.

  • Can No Longer Connect Wirelessly to ITunes With My IPod Touch

    While I can connect to the Internet with my IPod Touch through my router, I cannot seem to connect to ITunes wirelessly. My device only shows when I have it connected through the cable directly. The Apple help site hasn't been much good, as they suggested to completely uninstall ITunes (I followed their instructions implicitly) and re-install. Same problem. Not sure if this has anything to do with the new OS....but it's suspicious.

    Not sure if I was included in this question, but I'll answer anyway. My computer that I have ITunes on is hard wired into the router, which makes sense since it's on my computer desk But as I said, wireless works fine so It's logically not the IPod, it's not the router, so it has to be either the new OS or ITunes.
    I have Rogers Cable and a Cisco Modem/router.
    How do you quote posts on here?
    Yep, you were included...
    To add a quote, click Reply, and at the top of the reply window is a tool bar.  Click the icon to the right of the smiley face....
    Funny thing is, my desktop is hard wired too, but for grins and giggles I put iTunes on one of my laptops, and used the laptop to reset my iPod to factory settings.  Wireless synch still didn't work....
    What really aggravates me is when you go to the KB to find out how to troubleshoot an issue, the articles are pretty much blank.  Click here, set that, but no real explanation of how stuff works or what can cause it to break....
    One thing I have noticed is the KB article says that after you tell iTunes to use Wireless Synch if you don not eject the deivce, it will stay connected when you unplug it...  I never saw that behavior....

  • Sync problems with my ipod touch

    My ipod is 2 weeks old. syncing with my PC worked fine until yesterday when I put a CD into itunes and tried to sync it with my ipod. No sync high lighted therefore it wont sync can anyone help ?

    I can't understand this question, can you clarify?
    By 'put a CD into itunes' did you mean you were viewing a CD in itunes or you had imported the tracks from the CD into your itunes library?
    On what screen were you seeing 'no sync high lighted' and what does that mean?
    Do you sync your entire library automatically with your ipod, do you need to select tracks to be automatically synced, or you manually manage your ipod's library?

  • Mail sync issue with new iPod Touch

    I have been unable to successfully perform an initial mail sync using my new iPod Touch 32 GB with Version 3.1.1.
    All is being successfully sync'd with the exception of mail. The error box when I click on mail with the iTouch reads - "Cannot Get Mail - The connection to the server mail.me.com failed"
    I have an active .Mac account. I can successfully log into "mobileme" via my G5 1.8 dual running OS X 10.5.8. My cable web provider is Comcast in the Middle TN area.
    Thanks in advance with any suggestions.

    I found my "issue" is not an issue when I was able to access WiFi. The touch downloaded my messages! I was naively "assuming" that the initial setup via iTunes would have provided my initial message download.
    Marking this "false alarm" as solved. I'll avoid "jumping the gun" on my next hurdle.

  • HT1414 How can I reset or unlock my Ipod Touch without using itunes?

    I cant connect to my iTunes cause my Ipod Touch is locked and now i cant unlock it. I would like to reset or unlock it without using iTunes? Is there anyway i can do this?

    No. You need iTunes on a computer.
    Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod inRecovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes.

  • Wi-Fi iTunes Store via iPod touch will not download songs onto iPod

    First off, my wi-fi is working generally. I can, for instance, access the internet and the iTunes store via my iPod touch.
    However, after "purchasing" music via the wi-fi iTunes store, the iPod briefly displays the animation that the music has been purchased and is sent to the downloading que, but then quickly disappears from that que with no songs downloading at all.
    I am signed in properly, I have tried reseting the iPod touch completely, but to no avail.
    Suggestions?

    Figured it out.
    After registering my iPod Touch through iTunes, I did not attempt to download any music directly through iTunes onto my computer. All attempts were through the wi-fi store on my iPod Touch. So, I downloaded The Reminder, by Feist, through my computer and it worked just fine. However, prior to downloading I was put through some legal jargon/user agreement blah blah, that I had to "agree" to to continue. Once I did that, the downloading began. Subsequently I went into the wi-fi iTunes on my iPod Touch, and successfully downloaded a song.
    I can only assume that the issue was that I had to first agree to the user agreement document through iTunes on my PC before I could actually download music through the wi-fi/touch version.
    Let me know if this helps out.

  • Can i make an account for a used ipod touch without erasing what is on it already granddaughter loaned it to me i want to down load stuff

    I want to be able to download music and books to an I pod touch. My granddaughter gave me her old one, don't want to lose anything that's already on it. Her dad has an account but I want put it on mine. Said if I plugged it in to my computer it would delete what was on it, how can I do it

    You can use computer iTunes to help.
    Connect your iPod Touch to Computer's iTunes
    In iTunes, select your iPod Touch under DEVICES (left pane).
    On right pane select Music at the top.
    Now you can de-select the music/playlist or anything you don't want and click Sync button bottom right.
    You can do the above for Apps, Books, etc.
    You can of course, de-authorize the computer in iTunes menu Store.
    Note: That will make everything using his AppleID inaccessible.
