I got a first generation IPOD TOUCH for my husband and want to take some songs From my Computer that is hooked up to MY newer IPOD (not Touch, just IPOD)  Is it possible to take the music from my ITUNES account and add the his IPOD Touch without changing

I am trying to take songs from my PC AND My Itunes account and send them to my husband's IPOD TOUCH First Generation BUT I don't want to change my whole ITUNES account that is already on my computer.  When I plug HIS Ipod Touch into the PC, my ITUNES account wants me to CHANGE the DEVICE Name on the account and I don't want to do that.  I only want to share SOME of my songs on my Itunes account and send them to h is IPOD TOUCH?  Is this possible and HOW!  Thanks a ton!!!  I "checked" off the songs that I want to send but that's as far as I get before it asks me to change the Device Name?

Is his iPod usually synced to a different iTunes library/computer?  If so, that would explain the message iTunes is giving you.  An iPod is designed to sync with only one computer/iTunes library at a time.  If you try to sync it with a new library, the iPod's contents will be erased and replaced with what is in the newer/different iTunes library.
So if there is content you would like to add to his iPod, simply transfer it from your iTunes library to his.

  • HT1414 I just got a new iPhone 4 and I tried to download some songs from my itunes account and it bricked my phone so now my new phone is locked and I can't use it. What can I do to resolve this?

    I just got a new iPhone 4 and i tried to download some songs from my itunes account onto my phone and it bricked my phone! So I can't use my phone, it's locked. It shows a plug going into an adaptor frozen on my phone. How can I resolve this problem? I got my phone at Verizon yesterday so I went back to see if they could help me today and they didn't know anything about it at the Verizon store. Theyy said to try IMac store here in town...

    Ask the Verizon store to exchange your iPhone for a different iPhone 4.
    UPDATE - Sure, try ckuan's solution first.  Then use mine if that fails.

  • Trying to delete some songs from my itunes account.

    When I right-click the only option to DELETE that I am given is to HIDE the item in my itunes account. I do not wish to hide the item. I would like to completely delete. Any help??

    If you purchased the song from iTunes (not iCloud) then you can only hide it.
    iCloud does not sell or store music, iTunes does that.

    Hey kbert73
    I would do a transfer of purchases from the phone and not sync. If you sync then it will want to start over and sync music that is on the MacBook Pro. If you want to transfer the music, check out the article below that will give you multiple options on how to move. I have also provided on how to sync with multiple computers.

  • Some songs from my iTunes library do not show in my Finder music folder

    Some songs from my iTunes library do not show in my Finder music folder. For example one of the three CD's form a triple album do not show in Finder. And therefore they do not get saved when I back up my Mac either. Any ideas?

    Consolidate ("organize") simply looks at everything you have in iTunes and copies them to the iTunes media folder location specified in iTunes prefs -> Advanced.  If you select to use the default settings iTunes will copy any files in its library in the correct location in the media folder.  Since you don't want the files in a different locaiton really but just want to deal with some stragglers don't do the full "move" in hte instructions below but make sure they are organized.
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12165
    The files will be copied so you will need to find the originals abd once you are content the library is working you can get rid of them (I often archive them on an external drive, delete the originals, then play the files which is a sure test if you have a workable copy on the computer).

  • Is there a way for me to "gift" or send an album download from my iTunes account to my daughter in another city?

    Is there a way for me to "gift" or send an album download from my iTunes account to my daughter in another city?

    This is not a law forum but technically I think your daughter is supposed to own her own copy, not a second copy of the track you bought.  In that regard it would be best to use Apple's gifting service to give her the track.

  • How do i download songs from my itunes account to wifes ipod nano?

    How do download songs from my itunes account to my wifes ipod nano with her own account?

    To what iTunes library is the nano normally synced? The iTunes library you use (i.e. all tracks are in a single iTunes library). An iTunes library in a different user account on that same computer? Another computer? We need to know your setup and scenario before we can offer intelligent advice.

    You will need to do what it says, contact iTunes support. Click the Support tab above, then the Get Started link in the Contact Apple Support area and you'll be guided. We are all just fellow users here and so have no idea about the cause of the issue nor any ability to resolve it for you.

  • Can I move/copy songs from one itunes account to another itunes account on the same iMac?

    Can I move/copy songs from one itunes account to another itunes account on the same iMac?

    You move the song files to /Users/Shared/ and then into iTunes from the other Mac OS X user account.
    If you want to change the iTunes Store account associated with them, you need to redownload them from that account.

  • Transfering some songs from my iTunes library to my laptop library

    I have iTunes installed on both my desktop and my laptop. I am moving shortly and will be using my laptop only. I would like to have all my music on my laptop and iPod mini before I go. The problem is when I upload my CD's onto my laptop I can't get the artist/song/album information because I do not have internet access (and won't until I move -- the whole point is to leave my CD's behind).
    I know I can use my iPod as a hard drive to transfer my entire library to a new computer -- but how can I use it to transfer some songs from one iTunes library to another?
    Thanks for your time!

    basically, similar techniques apply when moving just a few songs. although the following document is about Music Store purchases, it's applicable to CD-ripped files too:
    Copying music between authorized computers with iTunes for Windows
    just in case, here's another couple of resources that might come in handy:

  • I want to delete some songs from iTunes but no delete button appears when i right click or when i try to delete it from edit. what can i do?

    I want to delete some songs from iTunes but no delete button appears when i right click or when i try to delete it from edit. what can i do?

    If the songs are downloaded into your iTunes library (i.e. they don't have the cloud icon against them) then you should be able to delete them by selecting them and pressing the delete button on your keyboard.
    If they do have the cloud icon then they are in the cloud - you can turn off the showing of all icloud music via the 'Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases' on the Store tab in iTunes > Preferences (command-comma), or you can hide individual tracks and/or albums so that they don't show in the cloud : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases.

  • My iTunes says I owe $5.25 for songs that I have already paid for and am not going to pay for again but I want to get some apps from the store and now there's a hold on my account. Who do I talk to get the hold taken off

    I explained it most in my question but I am getting charged double for songs that I have already paid for and am not going to pay for twice because that is messed up. But I want to get some apps from the store and it wont let me because of $5.25. Who can I talk to about resolving this issue?

    You're right, it would have been covered under warranty. But because of the user damage, chances are there's a 200-something dollar fee . If you explain to them that it had a defect previously, they might replace it for you at no charge. **MIGHT**. But they would have to believe that it had a defect previously.

  • How do i delete songs from my itunes account on my ipad?

    HOw do i delete songs from my itunes on my ipad?

    Staoter
    Songs are normally stored on a computer, set-up as playlists and then synced to your IPAD through Itunes.  If you resync only the songs you want the undesired songs will be deleted.
    Does this help you?
