How do u clear all music off ur ipod without losing it on itunes??

im not sure how 2 clear all music off mi ipod video without losing it off itunes??

Thanks for the clarification. Since I have the ipod
nano and there is no update for that at this time,
there is no reason for me to run the ipod updater.
Well, no, not unless you want to erase the iPod.
But - in the event that I do need to run a new ipod
updater in the future, what's the deal with having to
buy an AC adapter just to update the software? Is
this true? You said “maybe” I need one, which means
I won't know until I start the process of updating
the ipod, that I "might" need to buy an AC adapter?
Is this correct for the nano? Because it did not
come with a AC adapter. What am I suppose to do?
Leave the ipod connected for a few days while I go
out an buy a AC adapter to finish the update? Can
you be more specific? Is an AC adapter needed for
the ipod nano when updating the ipod software?
The Nano is a USB powered device. In order to update or restore it, you will need either an AC adapter or a USB 2 capable computer (USB 1 is not good enough). Basically the device needs a higher power input than usual for this sort of thing, so that it can update its flash memory without risk of damage due to power loss. Thus it requires power input when this is occuring. The AC Adapter is a sure fire way, a USB 2 port is almost as good.

    The music sync is how you got the music from the computer to the ipod in the first place.
    You cannot sync it from the ipod to the computer as I explained in the previous post, unless it is itunes purchased music.

  • How can I add new music to my ipod without losing the music already loaded on another computer

    That is correct, you can only sync your iPod to one library at a time.

  • How do I retrieve the music off my iPod after installing a new hard drive on my laptop

    My laptop harddrive was just replaced, and I didn't have my iTunes backed up. When I went to sync my iPod with my new iTunes, it says that my iPod is already synced to another iTunes library, so I can't sync it to mine. But that old one was on my dead hard drive. How can I retrieve my music off my iPod?

    Copy the entire iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

    If you want to clear all the music from your iPod simply connect it to your iTunes library and restore to factory
    settings.  See this article for exactly instructions for restoring your iPod.

    Transfer all iTunes purchases by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases with your iPod Touch plugged into your PC and in iTunes.
    For all non-iTunes purchased content, you'll need the help of third party software to help get the job done.  See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering a few options.

  • How do I get my music off my iPod Touch?

    I had a virus and had to delete all the data on my computer. I am now setting iTunes up again and I tried to get my songs off my iPod touch. It transfered only a small portion of my music, only the songs I had purchased in the past few months or so. I am authorized on this computer, and the few songs I got by trying to sync the songs off my ipod. How do I get my music off my iPod so I can listen to it on my computer?

    You'll likely need the assistance of some third party software to help you recover the non-iTunes purchased music.  See this older thread for a few possibilities.

    Restore the music form your most recent hard drive backup.
    You do make backups of your hard drive, right?
    There has to be a way.
    There's many ways. If you search the forums, you'll find dozens of solutions. You can use the search box in the upper right portion of the discussions website.
    Other wise what's the point of the ** thing.
    It's an audio player... not a backup device.
    If you rely on your iPod as a backup of your music.. then you are misusing the device. It's not intended to be used in this manner. Apple makes it difficult to get music off the iPod as a method to hinder music piracy.

    how do i get my music off my ipod touch and on to my new itune account with out losing my music

    Transfer the iTunes folder from your old computer to your new computer. It's in your My Music >> iTunes folder. You'll probably need an external hard drive to do this. Make sure you upgrade the old and the new computers to the latest iTunes before transferring your music to the new machines.
