How to put one song on ipod touch from mac without syncing all files

I have been trying since I got my ipod touch in 2012 to put just one or two songs onto my ipod without syncing all the music on my mac coumputer. Every time I plug my ipod into my computer, and try to put one song to my ipod, it syncs every music file that is on my computer to my ipod. Please help.Thanks!!!

Well, you could turn on the sidebar... but rather, just connect your iPod and click on it. You'll be taken to the iPod screen, with "Summary", "Apps", "Music", etc. along the top. On the Summary page somewhere, you should find a checkbox that says "Manually Manage Music and Video".
(Pretty much) all the features from iTunes 10 are still present in iTunes 11. All iTunes 11 got was a new interface.

  • TS4223 Someone help, i dont know how to put films on my ipod touch from my itunes on my computer?

    I bought 3 films yesterday off itunes on my computer, but now i dont know how to get them on my ipod?
    can someone help urgently please?

    It's similar to how you sync music to it. Connect the iPod to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select and sync them to the iPod's Videos app

  • How can I keep photos on iPod Touch from looking like color negatives?

    How can I keep photos on iPod Touch from looking like color negatives?

    You don't have to keep your photos in iPhoto to sync to your iPod according to Apple's website which states you can sync from folders in other locations:
    "Syncing Photos from a Mac
    To sync photos from iPhoto or a folder on your Mac:
    1. Connect your iPod to your computer and open iTunes.
    2. Select your iPod in the DEVICES section of the iTunes Source list.
    3. In the main iTunes browser window, select the Photos tab.
    4. Select the checkbox labeled "Sync photos from" and then choose either iPhoto, Aperture, Choose Folder, or Pictures, from the menu.
    * If you choose iPhoto, select "All photos and albums" to copy all of your photos in iPhoto, or "Selected albums only" and select individual rolls or albums you want to include.
    * If you choose Choose Folder, navigate to and select the folder of photos you want, then click Choose. Select "All photos" to copy all photos in the folder, or choose "Selected folders" to sync particular subfolders.
    * If you choose Pictures, choose "All photos" to copy all photos in the folder, or choose "Selected folders" to sync particular subfolders.
    5. If you want iTunes to also include the full-resolution versions of your photos, select the "Include full-resolution photos" checkbox. To access full-size photo files, be sure to enable your iPod for disk use.)
    6. Once you have decided which photos you'd like to sync, click Apply."
    Hope this helps!

  • I have just purchased a Macbook pro, but my iphone is currently synched to my old pc. How can I now synch it with my new mac without losing all the apps/music etc on my phone, Ta

    Hi, I have just purchased a Macbook, but my iphone is currently synched to my old pc. How can I now synch it with my new mac without losing all the apps/music etc on my phone? Ta

    The easiest way is to copy the iTunes folder from your old PC to your MB (put it in the Music folder as a subfolder), along with the other valuable data on the old PC. Or restore it from a backup of your old PC. Then authorize iTunes on the MB to the same account you had on the PC. When you sync it will warn you that your content will be deleted, but it will be replaced with the same content from the MB. Before syncing you should also make sure there is at least one entry in iCal and Address book on the MB (assuming you sync to Outlook or equivalent on the PC) to assure that your contacts and calendar entries will move over correctly.
    Al alternative that is less effective is to connect the iPhone to the MB without syncing, and choose "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes File menu. This willl copy purchases music, videos and apps, but not ripped tracks from the iPhone to the MB.

    Hi,
    No.  You do not need Wi-fi to sync music to or play music on your iPod.  Try resetting your iPod:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430.

  • Transfer songs with iPod touch from old computer to new Mac.

    How do I transfer songs from my old iTunes o my old computer to my new one with my iPod touch?

    The best way is to connect the two computers together by ethernet or firewire target disc mode and move the whole itunes folder from the old computer to the new. You'll find some tips in this article: Transferring your iTunes Library, http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive

  • How to add music to my iPod Touch from iTunes 11?????

    I can't seem to drag and drop music files from my iTunes to my ipod touch generation 5 by using the drag and drop method.
    How can I add songs,If I can't use the drag and drop method?
    Nothing seems to work.
    How should I fix this problem?????!
    I am going to travel soon,I need to add new songs before my departure.
    Please help me ASAP.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Step 1: Click on the Ipod button in the top right corner. (Make sure Ipod/AnyAppleDevice is connected)
    Step 2: In the top right corner again there should be a blue button that says "Done" and then right underneath that there should be something that says "Add to..." click on that.
    Step 3: After you click on that it should look something like this (picture below). So from here is where you can add music to your ipod/itouch/ipad/AnyAppleDevice. Also in the top left corner where it says "Music", you can click on that and change the types of media (Music/Movies/TV Shows/Podcasts/Apps) to add to your device.
    I hope I answered your question with this.

  • How to add new songs to ipod shuffle from different computer with different itune library without change old songs on ipod?

    Hello,
      I am using ipod shuffle. Now it's having some songs.these songs was synchronised with my old desktop itune library. Now i changed to laptop and downloaded latest itune software. Now i need to add more songs to ipod without change old songs on ipod. How it's possible? Please help.

    The way iTunes and iPods are designed is not compatible with what you want to do. The best approach would be to open iTunes on your old desktop, and make a backup of your iTunes library, from which you can copy across all the songs from your old library onto your new laptop - not just the ones that were synced to the shuffle. One place to start for instructions on how to do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1364
    The other approach is to search online for a utility that will copy songs off an iPod without syncing it, add those songs to your new library, and then erase-and-sync the Shuffle. This way, you only get to save whatever was synced to the Shuffle at the last sync.

  • Just purchased a new IPAD 2 Retina, first MAC computer and have an old IPOD Touch.  Trying to sync all the accounts (2 different accounts) to one account.

    I have 2 accounts in Itunes.  My old one and new one.  I just purchased my first MAC book pro and my 2nd Ipad (Retina).  I have an old IPOD Touch and have different stuff on each device.  I am trying to sync without having to ERASE and REPLACE to sync.  Any ideas?

    If you were syncing your iPod touch to the old computer, use Migration Assistant to get all your user data to the new computer.
    Then it will sync fine (since you will be using the same library).
