wil itunes match delete my exsisting ipod libary on my iphone if i activate itunes match on my new computer

Itunes match does not apply to audiobooks although if you have added them with media kind shown as music, you risk losing those books if you subscribe to match.
WHen you subscribe to match, your music needs to in your iTunes library on your computer. If the audiobooks have been added as music, you will need to copy them to your computer Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

i was up dateing my itunes and now on my ipod touch screen its says itunes and a picture of the lead what do i have to do

Having finally managed to update itunes to the current version in order to sort the lock screen of itunes ;logo and usb lead, i find that i dont have on the left side of itunes lists, the DEVICES heading for me to click on in order to back up/restore etc..... How do i access this..? I seem to be going around in circles and getting nowhere fast.
Is there any logical reason why the "devices" catogory wouldnt be showing..? or is there any way i can proceed manually without access to this...? HELP..... PLEASE.. THANKS......

HT5527 Dear Apple...I know time marches on but unfortunately you have become useless to those of us who can't upgrade systems or afford Iphones. So my itunes is totally unavailalbe since ipods can't work w/Itunes 9, so all the $ I spent is out the window!

Dear Apple...I know time marches on but unfortunately you have become useless to those of us who can't upgrade systems or afford Iphones. So my itunes is totally unavailalbe since ipods can't work w/Itunes 9, so all the $ I spent is out the window! I have been an apple mac user since the Blue Tower in early 2000. The fact that I recently replace a stolen Ipod Classic and it isn't compatible w/iTunes9 is really screwed up. You have failed many!

What is your question?

My ipod (nano, 6th generation) won't sync to a new computer with different stuff on it. It *appears* to sync but when it's done it still has the stuff from the other computer on it. What to do?

My ipod (nano, 6th generation) won't sync to a new computer with different stuff on it. Itunes on the new computer doesn't give the usual warning that you are about to lose all your existing stuff and the ipod *appears* to sync but when it's done it still has the stuff from the other computer on it. What to do?

Did you fail to maintain a backup copy?
If so, then you can buy a third party program to extract the music not purchased from itunes.
Itunes purchases can be transferred to your computer: File>Transfer Purchases.

I have lost most of my i tunes library. Many of the lost songs are are my ipod. What happens if I load plug my ipod into the computer? Will I erase whats on the ipod because there'll be no match found on my itunes library. Or..will I be allowed to mov

I have lost my i tunes library. Many of my lost songs are on my two nano i pods.
Since I have lost my i tunes library I have re-installed most songs. However I have a large number of songs on my i pods which I would like to retrieve. If I try to load my i pods to my computer will I lose the songs which I could not get re-installed to my library but are on the i pods. Since I lost my library I have not re-introduced my i pods for updating since they too will likely have to be re-installed. Will I lose the songs already in the i pods if have to re-introduce them to my computer. A solution to this problem would be for me to transfer my lost library songs from the i pod to my library. Can this be done?
1) Is it possible to retrieve songs from a lost i tunes library? Withoutout re-loading the entire library (since I have done this manually).
2) What happens if I re-introduce my i pods to the computer? Will this cause me to lose the present i pod installed music?
3) Can I transfer my lost songs and albums from my i pods to the i tunes library?

As you will have discovered, the music sync is only one way, from iTunes to the iPod, minus iTunes purchases. On top of that, an iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.

Why does all the content delete from my iPod everytime it connects to iTunes

I'm getting real frustrated and I am getting sick of the same thing happening everytime. I don't know if it's my computer or if it's iTunes. I have an iPod classic 160Gb, the computer is Acer - Aspire One 772 (it's junk, but it works for the time being) Windows 7 (64)
Here is what happens: I only have podcasts in my iTunes. I have about 15 different podcasts and about 169 episodes in my iTunes. I check and download episodes daily. After downloading episodes, I hook up my iPod to transfer new podcasts to the iPod. iTunes shows everything working fine but after ejecting my pod and looking to see if they transferred they are all deleted. I get angry and want to break everything but I resist.
To get podcasts onto my iPod I have to restart my computer, open iTunes, reset sync history, then connect my iPod. It doesn't get recognized, so I have to restore the iPod. After restoring I sync it up. Lately it has been freezing during the sync at about 65 episodes. I have to force iTunes to shut down and sometimes go through the restore process. So after listening to my iPod all day, I will come home, check for and download new episodes and hook up my iPod and bam...no more podcasts on my iPod. I need solutions on what could be causing this and how to fix it.
This is what I have done so far: I have tried another iPod classic and the same thing happens. I have deleted iTunes and reinstalled it. I have checked the iPods with Windows for errors and bad sectors. My last option that I am holding out on, is to delete iTunes and delete all the podcasts from the computer. When I first got this temp. computer everything worked good. I do not know what happened.
Any ideas, thoughts and solutions are welcomed.
Thanks,
Kenny

How do I get my music from iTunes Match to my older ipod that doesn't support iTunes Match

I have an old ipod ios 4.2 that doesn't support iTunes Match how do i get my music from the cloud to my computer library in order for me to put the music onto my older ipod for the car

Setup iTunes Match on your computer. Download the songs to your iTunes libary and then sync to your old iPod.

ITunes music deleted! Syncronized iPod still carries music...

All of the files from my iTunes library were deleted including purchased music and converted CDs, as well as videos and settings. Fortunately, all of my music is saved on my iPod Touch and I can still it and add new music with iTunes. All of my music and other files are displayed on iTunes, I just can't play it. My question is if there is any way to move my music back to the computer soley with an ipod and the condition my iTunes is.

There are a few third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists etc. from your iPod touch. Here are a few you can have a look at, read the help topics for each of them for tips on safely connecting your iPod and using each program:
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

HT4915 iTunes Match deleted tracks just show back up on next iTunes restart, super frustrating.

Has anyone found a fool proof way around this? I don't understand, it's so incredibly frustrating. I'll delete tracks and then an hour or a day or two later they just pop back up in my library. It's so unbelievably obnoxious. I haven't called Apple support, as I know from experience they know little and do nothing about iTunes Match, but man...
Apple doesn't normally half-*** stuff but iTunes Match is the lamest pile ever. I'm trying to delete my collection because after four days of trying to get my genre tags updated, with iTunes Match deleting the fresh tags off of 15,000 tracks of my collection SEVERAL TIMES--before I wised up and set all my MP3s to read-only so iTunes can't delete them---I just can't believe this is such a pain.

Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there.

I am losing a hard drive on another computer so I have downloaded all music to my ipod nano, when I sync the nano to my new computer and new itunes software it won't pick up the music from the old computer what do I do to successfully sync?

I am losing a hard drive on an old computer so I performed a sync of all music from the old computer to my ipod nano. Now when I sync my ipod nano to my new computer/Itunes all music will not upload to new computer/software. What am I doing wrong?

I’ve never needed to do that and am fairly new to using itunes but try doing this. Go to, “Store,” in the itunes menu and select, “Authorize this computer.” Enter apple id and see if that works. I heard that method is used to transfer purchased media to a new computer but I don’t know if it works for regular stored media. Please let me know if that works.

Itunes and Ipod Classic stop before song ends after transfer to new computer

I purchased a new Windows 7 computer and transferred my library from my XP computer.
I restored my library and all seemed well with the world.
I synched my IPod classic 120GB with over 8000 songs.
I was listening to the IPOD on my docking station when I started noticing that songs would just stop before the end of the song.
I thought my 120GB Ipod was dying, so I purchased a new 160GB.
The problem continued.
I then listened to them on the new computer in Itunes and they did not completely stop, they just skipped to the next track at the same place as it froze on my IPOD.
I listened to the same song on my old computer through Itunes and it played correctly.
I have do not have the Itunes Match and the songs that I currently know that have the problem were purchased on Itunes.
Any suggestions as how to resolve the issue?

I would try copying over the tracks from your XP computer again as the files from the first transfer may be corrupted.

HT1351 my itunes won't recognize my ipod in devices when I have it connected to my computer? How do I get it to sync? it is a ipod classic

I have a ipod classic and my itunes will not recognize it under devices when I have it plugged into my computer. I have restored the ipod and itunes is up to date on my computer. I have not been able to get my music to sync onto this ipod. Thanks for the help

If the iPod was not recognized by iTunes, how was the Restore performed?
The latest iTunes may hide the sidebar. This may be confusing to long-time iTunes users. If you don't see the sidebar on the left side, go up to the menu bar. Under Views, select Show Sidebar.
With the sidebar visible, do you see the iPod under DEVICES?
