If your iPod is set to sync automatically on connection then your songs will be erased if you connect to an empty iTunes. If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer or with more than one library you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod
Syncing Music to iPod
You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7.3 or later installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Once you are safely connected you can change the setting: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod
The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However if you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7.

    You can redownload most iTunes purchases directly to the iPod by:        
      Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise you will have to sync from your iTunes library.

  • Is there a way of transferring data (music, movies etc) from an external hard drive directly to an iPad Mini?

    Hi Guys,
    Is there a way of transferring data (music, movies etc) from an external harddrive directly to an iPad Mini?
    The reason I ask, is I'm going travelling and don't want to take my macbook with me - but I have a lot of music, movies etc that I want to take.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks, Fintan

    Thanks all.
    I've just come across Hyper Drive Cloud FTP - which allows you to connect any external harddrive or USB stick via WiFi.
    Looks like a pretty good option.
    I've also read that you can use GoodReader app to download files from harddrive to iPad.

    Not without either an external monitor and keyboard, or using a hack. If you want to try an hack app, look into:

  • How do I download my music onto another computer, when I no longer have the music on another computer, ipod, or any other storage device?

    Just as it says: How can I download music again that I have already bought and downloaded once on another computer?
    I no longer have the music on another computer (I no longer have the original computer) and the only other place I put the music was my Ipod that I lost. (Im sure its somewhere in my house, but can't seem to find it)

    Whether you can re-download your past music purchases will depend upon what country that you are in. On the iTunes store home page on your computer there should be a Puchased option under Quick Links on the right-hand side of it - go into that and see if music is an option for re-downloading

  • Transferring iPod library onto another computer

    I don't have a computer at home so I have had to use my work computer to upload all of my music onto my iPod. However, I am leaving my job in the near future, so I will have to erase my iPod library on my computer before I do. Will I be able to transfer my library from my iPod onto another computer in order to continue adding music/delete music?

    Tracy,
    This article in the Apple Knowledge Base outlines the various options for transferring music from one computer to another:

    You'll have to determine which method best suits your circumstances.

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

  • Is there a way to send PP renders to another computer on the network?

    Is there a way I can send renders out of Premiere Pro CS6 to another computer on the network that has Adobe Media Encoder CS6 installed?

    You'd have to have PP installed on the other computer as well, and copy all the media and other assets over to that computer, along with the PP project file, and then start PP on that second computer and send to AME from there.
    In short, no.

  • Transferring existing Music onto another persons login in Windows XP

    Help! I have just purchased an IPOD NANO for my daughter. Transferring CD's into her ITUNES is no problem, ie disc in, import and the tracks are seen in ITUNES. The problem I have is when I Copy and Paste a music file from my ITUNES folder into my Daughters ITUNES folder. The tracks are seen in the file but when I goto ITUNES, the tracks are not shown. The only way I can get these tracks into ITUNES is to physically open every music file individually and it then opens in ITUNES. There must be a way of synchronising!!! Please help!! Thanks in advance, Mike

    Open iTunes from your daughter's acct, and go to Preferences. Click Advanced. DEselect "Copy files to itunes Music folder when adding to library file". Click OK. Go to the the File menu and choose 'Add to Library' or 'Add Folder to Library'. Find the music you want and click choose. This should do the trick. Of course, I'm assuming you're both on one computer w/2 accts.

  • All of the music I imported to my iTunes account on a different computer is gone. It is on my iPad, is there any way to put it back on my computer?

    I recently got my computer back from Geek Squad and about three fourths of my iTunes library is gone. All of the music I imported directly to this computer, and all of the music I purchased is here, but most of my library is originally from a family computer. I transferred it to this computer, but since i got it back, iTunes says it can't locate it. We don't have the family computer anymore either.
    I do have all the music on my iPad though. Is there any way to transfer it back to my computer?

    It can't locate them, because they originated from a different computer.
    This makes no sense. It doens't matter where they originated from.
    If they were in iTunes on this computer and this backup is of this computer, they are from this computer.
    Look in /My Music/iTunes/iTunes media/Music/ folder and see what is there?

  • I just bought a new computer. have my music on my iphone and ipod but not appearing on my itunes account. Is there a way to get my music from my iphone to my itunes account?

    i I just bought a new computer. The techs that set everything up and transferred data from my old computer said that my playlists would appear when I downloaded itunes. that is not the case. Is there a way to transfer my music from my iphone to itunes?

    If the ENTIRE iTunes folder was moved or copied from the old computer to the new computer, then everything is there.
    Simply open iTunes by holding SHIFT while double clicking on the iTunes icon and then point iTunes to the iTunesLibrary.itl file.

    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:
