How do you transfer specific music from your computer to your ipod touch?

Ive read threads of how to do this and so far none have helped...Im trying to add specific songs that are on my computer to my ipod touch (4th gen).  I do not want the songs on my ipod transfered to my computer. 
When I go to the ipod device in the menu collum of itunes on my computer, & then pick the "music" tab in the menu bar I get very limited options that I can choose.
it says
1. sync music .... If I try this selection a warning msg pops up " all existing content on ipod will be removed & replaced with songs & playlist from your itunes library"  I don't want this! I just want songs added to ipod
2. below this selection are 4 options inside a gray box.  These selections are not available for reasons unknown to me.  They read
  a.  Entire music library
   b.  Selected playlist, artist, albums, and genres
   c.  include music videos
   d.  include voice memos
selections a,  c, & d have tick marks by them
As far as I have found up to this point this is somwhere close to the vicinity that I want to be in order to get done what I want to get done.  I don't know... perhaps I'm coming at this from the wrong angle.  Maybe I should use the ipod , and come at itunes from its interface?...

I have not sync with another computer.  Brand new Ipod touch from christmas.  same computer.  I have however conected it to this computer before & because I was ingnorant it synced automatically with this same computer.  I was ****** because it messed everything up.  So I erased my ipod completlely and started over.  I also un-installed itunes and started over with its as well.  I then put only music that I wanted on my ipod onto my computer in itunes. 
Now I cant figure out how to get that specific music on my ipod... this is all very maddening!!.. I feel like throughing both computer and ipod out my 2 story bedroom window

  • How do i transfer my pictures from my computer to my ipod touch?

    i am having trouble getting my pics from my desktop to my ipod touch. can anyone guide me through the more than likely easy steps cause i am new ipod owner thanks

    1. create a folder (mine is called 'ipod photos')
    2. put all the photos you want on your ipod in that folder
    3. open itunes, plug in your ipod.
    4. on the overview screen, click the photos tab
    5. check the, 'sync photos from' box.
    6. browse to the folder you want to sync with
    if you want to have subfolders on your ipod, then inside your 'ipod photos' folder, create subfolders and place the photos in there.
    e.g. i have a folder called ipod photos, with subfolders, family, friends, other.
    on my ipod i have four folders, family, friends, other, and Photo Library (the ipod automatically places ALL the folders in the 'Photo Library' folder.
    if you want to put your pictures in a specific order, put a number in the photo name (e.g. 01 Mum, 02 Dad, 03 Birthday.) if you have more than 100 photos you might need 001, 002, 003, i'm not sure.
    'Saved Photos'
    sometimes you may notice on your iPod a 'Saved Photos' folder appears. this is where the iPod stores any photos you acquire actually on the iPod. Usually from email, safari (holding your finger on a picture while browsing the internet in safari will result in a pop up menu that allows you to save that photo) or from screenshots (holding the home button and the power button at the same time will give you a screenshot).
    You can access these when your iPod is plugged in to your computer by navigating to it as if it was an external hard drive, this will let you move the photos to your computer if you want to keep it.
    These 'Saved Photos' are the only ones you can delete on the iPod (tap the screen, should be a bin icon that comes up), the others you will have to delete using your computer (delete them in your 'iPod photos' folder.)

  • How do i resynk the music from my computer onto my iPod touch?

    I did an update a couple of months ago. Recently I went into my music and it was COMPLEETLY empty; even the songs I bought from the itunes store. My iTunes thingy on my computer is saying that those songs are still in my music, but their not. Please help me, I'm lost without my music when I'm away from wifi (with wifi i listen to pandora). Any sugestions? I'll take any.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

    How can I transfer the music from my computer to my iphone?
    How can I detele the items that i have already added?

    Via the iTunes sync process.
    And deleting music from your iPhone can be done the same way or if your iPhone 4 is running iOS 5, you can delete songs direct from the iPhone one at a time.

    No since you can only sync with one computer.

  • How can I transfer purchased itunes from my computer to my iPod without losing/erasing the current songs on my iPod?

    How can I transfer purchased iTunes from my computer to my iPod without losing all the songs I currently have on my iPod?  I've already burned the purchased songs onto DVDs, but they still aren't recognized as authorized songs that I can copy onto my iPod.  One other note:  The songs I purchased were done so with iTune versions much earlier than 10.0, does that matter?  I couldn't tell you what version though.   

    Not sure what you are saying.
    What is stopping you from adding the songs?
    Are you getting an error message?
    What does it say?

    Hello, tiburon1979.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I would need a little clarification on the issue that you are experiencing to provide a better answer.  However, if your device is not recognized by iTunes, try going through the steps in the article below.  
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    If the device is recognized and you are unable to select the syncing preference, see the article below as the steps have changed.

  • HT1329 If I cannot access my old computer, can I transfer my music from other sources on my iPod touch to my new PC?

    I have purchased a new computer as my previous one can no longer be used. The problem I have is that I have a lot of music on my iPod touch from sources other than the iTunes store purchases.
    Can I transfer these files without accessing my old computer? If so, how can I do this?
    Thanks in advance.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a abckup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Haev you failed to backup?  Not good.
    You may be able to purchase a third party program to retrieve the music,
