HT1296 How do I add music to my ipod on my computer without deleting old music on my ipod?

How do I download music from my computer to my ipod touch without deleting old music on my ipod?
Details: I've tried downloading songs to my ipod that i got from the Itunes store but then it say's it will delete all the other music and only leave the one's that im downloading. (p.s. On my computer I don't have the same music as on my ipod.)

Use the manual method of syncing described here:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
or
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad

  • Is there a way of adding music to an Iphone from a computer without deleting the music already on there?

    I have music on my iphone that is not in my computer's Itunes library and visa versa, i would like to download a specific group of songs from my computer's itunes library to my Iphone's. The problem is I do not want to go through the entire process of syncing my entire library again and I fear that if do the songs that i have on the iphone will be deleated. is there a way this can be solved, maybe through icloud or something?

    The home page '''''about:home''''' is built in to Firefox and should/would not be affected.
    Though it should/would not affect '''''about:home''''', there is an entry for Mozilla on their list, if you are using some page at mozilla as your home page. On my installation that item on their list is shown as disabled; I do not recall disabling that item myself, therefore it could be their default (disabled) and they know that item is not functioning properly on their list.
    You may be correct in that there could be a conflict with another add-on. The only way to determine that is to experiment by installing '''''HTTPS Everywhere''''', disabling/enabling a few extensions (or plugins), restart Firefox and repeat until you find the conflicting item.

    The only other thing that comes to mind is a possible corruption of '''''HTTPS Everywhere''''' during download/installation.

  • How do I transfer music from my ipod to my computer without replacing the music on my ipod with the music on my computer?

    How do I transfer music from my ipod to my computer without replacing the music on my ipod with the music on my computer?

    You can't do that with iTunes (except for songs you purchased from the iTunes Store).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer songs files from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the songs files are on your computer, add them to your iTunes library.  Then, you can sync your iPod to that iTunes library, as desired.

    No. iTunes will first erase everything from another computer. It is designed to work that way.

  • How can I add photos from my mac to my ipad without deleting the photos on my ipad, How can I add photos from my mac to my ipad without deleting the photos on my iPad, How can I add photos from my mac to my ipad without deleting the photos on my iPad

    I have photos on my Ipad that I copied from my PC (that I am selling) & now want to add my photos from my Mac to keep them all in one place.  When I try to sync it says it will delete the photos on my Ipad unless they were taken with the Ipad.  How can I just add what is on my Mac to my Ipad without deleting what is on my Ipad?

    "OK, so how do I transfer images to my computer? "
    This has been answered.  The sync is one way - computer to ipad.  You can e-mail them to yourself.
    " Whenever I connect the iPad to my Mac I get a message telling me that all the photos on the iPad will be replaced. Why?"
    This is the design of the product.  It will sycn with one computer.  Sycning to anotehr will erase hte current content.  The ipad simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.
    "When I connect my mp3 player to my PC, at home, I can find the player in Explorer and edit the contents, move or delete files, add files from my computer etc. All under my controll, simple and easy."
    OK.  This is not the case with the  ipad.  It is not designed as a storage device.

  • How do i add media to my iphone from another computer without syncing and deleting all the info currently on it

    My iphone was synced to my old computer
    How do i add content to my phone from my new computer. It says i can only be synced with one computer and it will delete everything on my phone to sync with the new computer.
    This doesn't make much sense. What am i missing?

    It does make sense.  The iPhone is a one-person device and just syncs to one computer.
    The way it should work is as follows:
    Old computer content ---> New computer
    New computer <---> syncs to iPhone
    But the way you are trying to operate sounds like:
    Old computer content ---> iPhone
    ... and ...
    New computer content <---> iPhone
    So simply move your old stuff (either directly from iTunes, or from a computer backup) to the new computer, have it all there, then sync your iPhone to the new machine.

  • Can i add new music to my ipod from a new computer without losing old music

    My laptop was stolen and I want to put music on my ipod from my new computer, however I do not want to lose all my music I already have on my ipod because some of it was not purchased from the itunes store. How can I put the new music I have purchased on my Ipod withot removing the old music?

    - Transer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes and select backup
    - Restore the iPOd from that backup.
    Now the computer will be your syncing computer.

  • HT1296 How do you sync your iPod to another computer without deleting all the data?

    I recently got a new MacBook Air and I found out that if I sync my iPod touch with my new computer instead of my old one all my data will be deleted.
    How do I sync my iPod without deleting all my information?

    You can't, so you'll need to get all your data, apps and content to the new computer before you allow the sync. See this support article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    You can also download most of your content (the notable exceptions being movies, some of which can be redownloaded if you're in the US, and audiobooks) again from the iTunes Store:

  • Is there a way to sync my music from my ipod to a computer without deleting it, the original computer i had it on crashed and i really dont want to lose all my music

    My computer that i had my itunes crashed and i wanted to know if there was a way to transfer my music from my ipod to a new computer without completely having to resync every cd. I already have the purchased music transfered.

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup cppy to put everything back.

  • How do i add songs to my ipod from another computer without losing the music i already have on it from the original computer?

    i want to connect my ipod to a friends computer to get some of her songs on my ipod. every time i do this tho it deletes the songs i already had on my ipod from the original computer. how do i get this to work? please help

    When you connect the ipod and are prompted to erase and sync....just click cancel.  Then click the ipod name below devices in the itunes source pane.  From the ipod summary screen you want to check manually manage music and videos under the options tab.  Apply the changes and you are now set to manually sync.  Which means you just drag and drop the music you want to sync to your ipod below devices in the itunes source pane.   Refer to this for more detailed instructions:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535

  • While transferring music from phone to iTunes on computer, it deletes all music I didn't buy from iTunes.

    I recently transferred my iPhone 4 to a new laptop. I'm trying to transfer the music that is on my phone to the new computer, but it deletes all the music that I hadn't purchased from iTunes. Anyone know how to fix this? Need help ASAP!

    See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. If non-store media has been deleted from the device and you have no other sources to reclaim it from then there really isn't much to do but accept the loss and make sure you backup properly in future.

  • New music onto iPhone 5 without deleting old music?

    My iPhone's home computer was a PC that we used to have, but we bought a new one and recently downloaded iTunes onto it. I just bought new music and when I tried to sync it onto my iPhone 5 it said that it would erase all other data. I know that I have to click on the "Manually manage music and videos" button on the home computer but there's no way to access that now. What do I do?
