IPOD to ITUNES connect

If I have an Ipod and I put music from my home computer onto my ipod through itunes, then go to a different computer, it makes me delete everything from my ipod before loading music from the second computer's library. Is there anyway that I can add music from multiple computers to my ipod without having to delete the files that are already present? Your answers would be a great help and this has to be the most knowledgable group of people I've ever seen on the internet. Thank you very much for your time. Justin Bosak

Justin,
It will be best for you to post this mp3 related question on apple forum instead of here for your ipod. You will probably get more reply there and since this isn't related to Creative product at all, I'm closing this thread.

You just want to rename your device? If so, simply double click its current name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and type in a new one.

How i solved my iPod to iTunes connectivity problem

After reading so much advice on this forum, I just wanted to tell you guys about the problem I was having with getting my Windows XP machine and iTunes to communicate with my brand new 80 Gb iPod Classic, and how I finally managed to fix the problem (I hope).
The problem was that my iPod communicated very poorly with my Windows machine and especially with iTunes. When I first bought the iPod, I was able to get it to work with iTunes sporadically. After three days of struggle I was able to sync my 3100 song music library to it, but then things began to deteriote. It got to the point where the iPod would not sync with iTunes, if iTunes recognized it at all. When I connected the iPod to my computer, it would show up as a USB device in the Windows device manager, but if I tried to open it in Explorer I could see no folders. iTunes could see it, but it would insist that it was not compatible with Windows and that I needed to restore it. When I tried to restore it, I'd always get an "unknown error" error message. It was impossible to connect to it or restore it!
Finally, I figured out what the problem was. It was my HP PhotoSmart C4280 "all in one" printer! As soon as I disconnected that thing from its USB port the iPod suddenly was fully recognized by iTunes and I could sync it again. Furthermore, the syncing process was about 10 times faster! It was a miracle!
I believe the issue had something to do with the on-board memory card readers on the printer. Those show up as a letter drive under Windows, whether you have a card in them or not. I believe the HP USB driver was somehow interfering with the Apple USB driver, but that's just a theory.
Even with the iPod working, I still had a problem because the printer could not be connected at the same time as the iPod. I managed to fix that problem too (I think). I went to the HP support site and downloaded the latest printer driver software. Now both the printer and the iPod seem to coexist peacefully. I may not be completely out of the woods, but right now it looks promising.
Anyway, I just wanted to share my little success story with you in case there was someone else out there having the same problem.

You might find the HP doesn't just interfere with your iPod. I have an Epson all-in-one photo printer/scanner/copier with card reader that interferes with EVERY other external drive I connect. I tried my best with Epson support but got nowhere. Problem occurs in both Vista & XP, with at least 3 memory keys, 2 500gb external drives & the iPod. If I turn the printer on, all access to other USB drives is disrupted. Sometimes I can view the top level folders (cached?) but they appear to have no content - scared myself a few times at first. It's a bore but there seeems little I can do until Epson acknowlege the problem & issue new drivers.

Compare iPod to itunes and transfering from iPod to iTunes

Does anyone know if a way I can see a comparision between what is on my iPod and what is in my iTunes library?
I basically want to see everything that is in my library but not on my iPod.
Also does anyone know of a way to eaisly transfer music from my iPod to my iTunes library? I just got a new computer and now all my music is in my iPod but I can't get it on my new computer and into the iTunes library.

To transfer songs from your iPod to iTunes,
Connect the iPod to the computer, open iTunes, you will get a message "do you want to link to this iTunes music library", say "no" to this. Change the syncing option to "manually manage songs and playlists".
In iTunes, click on Edit and then click on Preferences.
Click on the advanced tab, and select the "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library". Click OK.
Then, click file, add folder to library, select the iPod and then click open.
When the update is complete, go back into Edit, Preferences, Advanced, and uncheck the "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library".

Songs greyed out whenever I connect my iPod to iTunes?

I own an iPod touch 4G. The problem I'm having is whenever I connect my iPod to iTunes, a certain 6 songs show up as "greyed out" and are listed as the most recently added songs. It's not a huge problem but it's bothersome. One of the songs, "Survival" by Muse is on my iPod, the exact same version I purchased and it is not greyed out and I can play it normally. The other songs I don't have on my iPod (not from their respective albums at least, but from a compilation I purchased). They do not show up greyed out on my iPod music, just on iTunes under Music under my iPod name. I don't know why these 6 songs show up greyed out, there's no reason they should. Please help me get rid of this so I don't have to deal with it again!

Try a new cable and different USB port
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

A playlist that I update on my ipod won't update when I connect my ipod to itunes

I have been using my Ipod Touch 3rd generation to create playlists. The playlists show up fine and play on the ipod, but when I connect the ipod to itunes, and click on the playlist, it does not reflect the changes made on the ipod. I have the ipod set to manually manage, so when I disconnect the ipod the songs are still on the ipod, but why won't they show up on itunes?
I also deleted some tv shows off of the ipod by way of itunes, but when i disconnected the ipod, they were still listed on the ipod, although they would not play. So somehow, my itunes and ipod are not communicating with eachother. Any ideas/fixes?

Hey BingHuo,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPod will sync but not charge while connected. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
iPod's battery doesn't charge
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a good one,

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have an ipod touch that hasn't been used in a while. We want to use it now, but the screen says "ipod disabled. connect to itunes". When I connect to itunes it tells me to enter my passcode, however the ipod will not allow me to do anything (and I don't know the code anyway). I tried to put it in recovery mode as someone suggested by holding the home button while plugging the ipod up from the computer, but I never did get the "connect to itunes" symbol, I continually got the same screen saying "ipod disabled connect to itunes". Help!

The image came up on my screen saying that I need to connect my iPod to iTunes, but I have a passcode, so it won't allow me to. And I want to try and turn it off, but my touch screen doesn't seem to be working either. HELP!

The image came up on my screen saying that I need to connect my iPod to iTunes, but I have a passcode, so it won't allow me to. And I want to try and turn it off, but my touch screen doesn't seem to be working either, so I can't even turn it off since you need to "slide to power off." HELP! I'm leaving on Thursday morning for six and a half weeks, and I absolutely need my iPod with me. I was just at the Apple store today for problems I was having with ANOTHER product, and I don't really want to drive all the way out to where my nearest store is (which is not very near) if I can figure this out at home. My iPod was working totally fine earlier today and last night, so I don't know what happened! Please, please, PLEASE HELP!

Now it's allowing me to reboot (hold down power button and home button and restart), but every time it just comes up to the same thing: the connect to iTunes page. Which is not possible. And I refuse to restore my iPod. PLEASE HELP.

Restore...
From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.
There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.
