I can't put songs from my other computer on my ipod

I have 2 computers in my home (the family one and mine) and my computer I have downloaded like 80% of my itunes music from, but the cd-rom doesn't work for some reason. I want to get my cds on my ipod too (itunes doesn't have most of the music I have in cds, so I can't rebuy them... don't want to either. I'm low on money) and the family computer doesn't let me put my imported music on there. When I plug it in the family computer, it gives me an option to keep the songs on my ipod that I already have on there and erase all the stuff that are on my ipod and use only that computer to put stuff on my ipod. If I use the first one, I can't put stuff from the family computer on there. What do I do?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!!!
When the window comes saying "The ...iPod is synced with another iTunes library...do you want to..." Just hit cancel. Your iPod is now set to "manually manage movies and songs"
Now you can drag and drop whatever songs you want onto your iPod. I would go ahead and set the setting on the other computer to "manually manage..." also in order for it not to erase the songs you put on there from the other computer.
You can go to Devices>iPod>Settings There are four options toward the bottom of the page. One of those is "manually...." Check that box.

But there's no maroon 5. :-(

  • How can i put songs from my itunes on my computer onto my iphone

    how can i put songs from my itunes on my computer onto my iphone?
    The newest version of itunes seems to be a little more difficult to do this than past versions. I plug in my iphone to my computer and it does not allow me to "drag" songs into my iphone option anymore. Help!
    The songs I am trying to get on my iphone are from CDs that I have purchased outside of the itunes store. Can I not put those on my iphone anymore?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Select the phone in the device list in iTunes, navigate to the music tab, check the music you want iTunes to sync with your phone, click the apply/sync button.

  • HT1386 My old computer crashed and I can't sync new songs from my new computer to my IPod without erasing all of the existing content on the IPod.  Can new songs be added without erasing?

    My old computer crashed and I can't sync new songs from my new computer to my IPod without erasing all of the existing content on the IPod.  Can new songs be added without erasing?

    Yes by:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    However, you can make this computer the syncing computer by:
    - Transering iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - For synced photos you need a program like TouchCopy or PhoneView. The do music too.
    - After everything is on the computer connect the iPod to the computer and make a backupo by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps, music, synced photos.

  • I would like to purchase an ipod for my husband. Can I download songs from my itunes library to his ipod without disturbing my itunes?

    I would like to purchase an ipod for my husband. Can I download songs from my itunes library to his ipod without disturbing my itunes?

    Yes Deborah,
    Actually it's as smiple as plugging in the iPod and registering it, this will be done by a step by step dialog box when you first plug it in. After that it will show up in your device list on the left side. Just drag the song from the music library in iTunes to the iPod device that is his. You can drag single songs, complete albums or even complete genres. If it is a iTouch you get him, you can also click the music tab on the iTouch device in iTunes when you plug it in and you can just check off artist names or just certain albums. Also on a iTouch on the summary screen you can click the sync with iTouch over Wi-Fi check box and you will no longer have to plug it to the computer to sync. Also, since they are two different devices the music on one will not affect the music on another. This goes for any iOS device, iPods, iTouches, iPhones, and iPads.
    Hope that helps.

  • HELP!!! VERY IMPORTANT! i can't put songs from my computer into my itunes!!

    this happens to me since last month,
    i uesed to downloaded some songs from other country, and it used to could put them into my iTunes,but since last month everytime i tried to put my downloaded songs into itunes, i didn't appear on the itunes screen and it doesn't appear on my iphone either. why?
    can't put songs into my itunes and my iphone really bothering me!!!
    please help.

    I was certainly not flaming anyone. I was asking specific clarifying questions in an attempt to assist someone who's description of the problem was inadequate for me (and apparently anyone else) to make any recommendations. Even your interpretation really doesn't give enough information to really be useful. The country from which a file is downloaded shouldn't be relevant. If it is, we need to figure out what's different about it.
    All in all, the post was kind of analogous to saying "My car used to work and now it doesn't". An accurate statement as far as it goes but not sufficient for a mechanic to even know where to start.
    I am looking forward to hearing your possible solution to the problem.
    Best of luck.

  • MISSING ITUNES SONGS AND HOW CAN YOU PUT SONGS FROM IPOD ONTO ITUNES?

    i opened my itunes one day and all 654 of my songs were GONE. the entire itunes was blank, as if it was newly installed. it wasn't.
    I have an ipod mini, and that still contains the songs since i did not attach my ipod to my computer when i saw that it was empty. my ipod still has 654 songs. But the problem is, that i wont be able to put new songs if my itunes is blank.
    How do you transfer songs from the ipod to the itunes? Usually when you connect the ipod, it automatically updates, so how will i be able to do that. I have new CDs and i want to put some of those songs on my ipod, but i wont be able to do that if my itunes makes my ipod blank. I called apple support but it costs 29 freaking dollars to help me.
    Can anyone help?

    okay, well it has been a long time since i have done this, but i will try to do it to the best of my memory.
    uninstall itunes.
    then reinstall it.
    plug your ipod in.
    a box will pop up that says something like would you like to connect your ipod to this library?
    click NO.
    then, on the sidebar there should be a boldfaced DEVICE sign.
    your ipod should show up.
    go to summary
    then check managely manage my music, and then update.
    this means that when you plug your ipod in, you will have to put the music in yourself. this is good because you can pick and choose, and you can delete songs off your ipod if you do not like it anymore. also, you have the ability to play the music on your computer when your ipod is plugged in. hope that helps..

  • How can i put songs from my ipod into my itunes library?

    I want to sort out all mu music on my ipod and start fresh, but i want to keep all my music. Is there a way of putting music from my ipod into my iTunes library? I understand that if there is music on my ipod then i mustve put it on there from the library but i dont think i did! It's just not there! all i need to do is transfer it from my ipod to my itunes library Pls help. Ta.

    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    With your iPod connected, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPod.
    If you had Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPod sync preferences with iTunes, after downloading a song from the iTunes store direct with your iPod, the song would be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPod with iTunes after doing so.
    Manually managing music and videos is manual all the way.

  • Can't put songs from iPod onto new computer

    I just purchased a new computer, and would like to upload my music files from my iPod onto it. My computer recognizes the iPod, but won't let me copy songs to my computer. Does anyone know how I can do this?

    You can't sync your music back from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    PodPlayer Windows Only
    PodPlus Windows Only
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes

  • Can't put songs from iTunes Library onto iPhone 4S

    I finally got my laptop back from the repair shop after many months of being a whimp and not wanting to take it in, but then I finally grew a set. Anyway I re-authorised my computer, but now it wont allow me to move songs from my iTunes Library onto my phone. Why is this? At first I thought, perhaps it's my USB lead, but after trying four (no idea how I've managed to collect so many) it seems not the case. Help!

    All is good, I hadn't turned on the 'Move music manually' or something! Silly!

  • Can i transfer music from my new computer to my ipod nano?

    I have been happily using my new ipod nano for some months. I have just bought a new computer. I downloaded itunes for the new computer and started to add some new cds. Now i am connecting my nano to the new computer for the first time and am trying to get the new albums transfered to the nano. I am worried about loosing all the music from my old computer of course, so i selected the 'manage files manually' option. Well i haven't lost the old tunes yet but just can't figure out how to move the tunes manually (from the 'recently added' list) to my nano. Any ideas?

    The latest iTunes may hide the sidebar.  To show the sidebar, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    Find your iPod in the sidebar under DEVICES. Select the Recently Added playlist in the sidebar, to show the list of songs on the playlist to the right.  Click-hold-drag the song you want to the iPod in the sidebar.  You can select and drag multiple songs at the same time.
    Alternately, you can select the song or songs on the playlist, right-click on the selection, select Add to Playlist from the menu, and choose your iPod as the target.

  • How can i transfer songs from my old computer to my new computer?

    I got an Macbook Air for a birthday present and i have all my music on my old computer! I am trying to figure out how to transfer it to my new computer. please help!

    There are a couple of ways, you could share your library through iTunes on the original device and then let iTunes on the new machine access the share, then copy the songs to the new machine (You will lose all play stats using this route). 
    Secondly, create a network share on the original machine, access share and copy the library files over to the new machine, iTunes should on the first load validate the library (this route will keep all play stats).
