How do I sync my ipod to new iTunes

I just posted this same thing and it got removed for some reason. This is a legitimate question. I recently put iTunes on a new laptop and want to manage the music on my iPod that I had a friend load up with songs (FROM CDS THAT I OWN) a year or so ago. I've just never had iTunes to manage or change my music and would like to be able to download new songs and add to it without losing all the current songs and take all the time to reload them all.

No backup unfortunately. I bought the ipod and knew nothing about how to use it and had a friend load it up with songs from all my cds a couple years ago. Half the cds are now gone or missing or buried somewhere, shoot, I think he probably still has some of them. Now I just downloaded itunes to a new computer and want to be able to put all those songs on it then add/manage from there.
So basically Im out of luck???
Any help or ideas would be appreciated

If you connect your ipod to your computer then look in the hidden folder labeled "iPod_Control" . (This is on a Mac version, but i think it's the same for Windows) and in "Music" is all your music mixed up in different folders. Just drag the MUSIC folder onto itunes then BAM! It's done ;D

how do i sync my iphone with new itunes? I cant find the sync button

The same way you would sync with any other version of iTunes.
Connect the device.
Select the device.
Select Sync.
In the new version of iTunes, the sidebar is disabled by default. With a device connected, it will be listed in the upper right hand corner.
If you want the side bar back, type Cntrl + S.

How do you sync your ipod to your itunes without loseing all your music?

Some how my itunes deleted all music (everything except my purchased music and I dont have my other music anywhere else only on my ipod.). Today I tryed to add a new Cd but i cant do that untill i get all my music from my ipod back into itunes by syncing it without losing everything. how do I do that i need to know ASAP

You need to put your ipod in manually manage mode. When you plug in your ipod the box that pops up is gonna state your ipod has been synced with another library do you want to erase and sync or transfer purchases or cancel. Hit cancel. Under devices in theleft hand side of itunes click the name of your ipod. That brings up a summary page, then select under options on that summary page manually manage ipod then click apply. You can then add content by dragging and dropping from itunes library to the name of your device. this allows syncing with multiple computers withuot losing content.

How do i sync different ipods on same itunes/computer?

I have an ipod classic and shuffle. Shuffle was purchased afterwards.
I managed to create a separate library and added songfs into Shuffle's library. Now i'd like to sync, but forgot how
to bring up each account, but can't open that library. Little help>???? Thanks.

With iTunes, you can only run 1 library at a time. Libra allows you to create more than one library and switch between them. You will have to use something like Libra to import your other library, the one that you create for your shuffle and have libra switch to it. The problem that you will run into is that if you switch to your other library, when you plug in your ipod classic, iTunes will tell you that it was synced with another library and you will need to erase and sync. If you want to sync both ipods to the same library, 1 of the them will need to be erased and synced.

How do I sync my iPod from the iTunes Music folder?

So basically, I have a bunch of bad songs on my iTunes that I would like to delete, but I want to keep the music files. I want to sync every single song I have on my computer right now (which are all currently on iTunes) to my iPod touch. The problem is, I want to delete all of the bad songs from iTunes so I only have the good songs left on iTunes and then sync them to the iPhone. So I want to have all my songs on my iPod Touch, but only the good ones on iTunes and my iPhone. So what I want to do is delete all of the bad songs from iTunes, but keep the files so that they stay on my computer. All of my songs are currently located at C:\Users\Owner\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music so if I delete all the bad songs from iTunes but click Keep Files, then all of my songs will stay retained in that folder, but will be gone from iTunes. I want to know if there is some way to sync all of the songs in my Music folder to my iPod without them being in iTunes.
Long story short, I want to put all of my entire Music folder on my iPod without using iTunes.
Thanks for any help.

Very doubtful even a majority of advanced users with multiple devices "sync" manually.
I don't.
(FYI: You don't "sync manually" You "manually manage" without syncing at all).
I have never called you names - like "advanced user" for example- I do not know or presume to know you or your habits, personally. I actually do sync manually (by clicking when I need to chose those little checkboxes), or I actually manually manage by dragging and dropping - I can do both. I also do not presume that I can teach you anything, but I can definetly help OP.
@Original Poster
Once you enable "manually manage option" and after you delete content that you don't want to have in your itunes, imagine you got something new that you want to put in your ipod. You add that movie to itunes and you instead of syncing it ( that would remove from ipod all content that is not itunes anymore.) you literally drag that movie from itunes library to the icon/image of your ipod in itunes on the left side. And it will sync only that movie/song/playlist, without affecting other things

Hard drive wiped- syncing my ipod with new itunes download?

I recently had to wipe my hard drive because my computer got a virus I wasn't able to clear out any other way. I re-downloaded itunes and tried to sync my Ipod to it. (I wasn't able to back up any files.. not even pictures.. before the system restore) Anyway I was wondering if there is any way to copy the music on my Ipod to my itunes library? I tried to sync it, but it said it would erase the music on my Ipod currently. ***** for me because that is the only place i have my music stored except a few cds in my car. HELP!!! Am I SOL?
