How do I sync my iPod to the iTunes on my Windows 8.1 computer? The SYNC button appears to be missing on iTunes.

THERE is nothing on the old iTunes version i want to keep or restore. I want to RE-DIRECT it to the new. How do i do that/?

There is no Info tab in Mavericks

My problem is that if I open I tunes, the Sync ipod option in the menue is grayed out, and so not available.
This is starting to irritate me, so any help would be much appreciated.

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

How can I sync multiple iPods to the same iTunes Library?

The same way you sync just one. If y want different media on each iPod then only select the items you want synced to each iPod
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Try syncing using the manual method
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
Also, I would go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says prevent iPods... for syncing automatically so that you can more easily check what you want syned

You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year. It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you. Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices. See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

ITunes was on a drive destroyed by virus; how can i sync my iPod with new iTunes on new computer without losing my old library? There is no backup iTunes/iPod files available.

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

You can only sync with one ITunes library. It you switch iTunes library iTunes will erase the iPod and replace it contents with what is in the library of the new computer.

You cannot. There is no iTunes application on an iPad and iPods cannot sync with an iPad.

How do you sync two Ipods to the same MacBook?

Have a nano already synced to my MacBook. Want to also sync my 5th gen 30GB Ipod to the same MacBook. Have only had my MB for 3 months after 18 years of PC platform (yes I'm drinking the KoolAid baby.) This notebook is fantastic.
An issue I had with my old PC was that you couldn't sync two Ipods to the same PC unless you held down the shift key while accessing ITunes to select a library - or something like that.
Please tell me that if I plug my 5th gen into this MacBook it won't overwrite my nano songs/info that are already on this MacBook? Apple has to have done it easier than how I had to do it with the PC. Any help from you experts out there will save me a ton of grief..........Thanks! R.Ty

Thanks!
No problem.
My issue is however that in addition to all of the songs that I have purchased via ITunes, I have about 600 songs from my own CD's on the 5th Gen that if I restore will be gone. Time - yes....money - a little.... It would be great if I could de-authorize the PC it was synced to and now work off my mac....
In that case, check out these different media recovery options by Zevoneer for copying music from your iPod to your computer.

What you need to do is first copy all the music currently on your 5th generation iPod to your new Macbook. Once you have done that, you are free to *Erase and Sync* it upon plugging it in, or restoring it via iTunes as described above.
And if you are adding purchased music, you will need to authorize your computer if you haven't done so yet. To do this, choose Authorize from the Store drop down menu in iTunes.

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.
