Load video/music from another computer

How do I add music or video from a computer other than the one I use to sync?

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. You can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod
Syncing Music to iPod
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

  • Uploading (sync) selected music from another computer?

    How do you upload (sync) selected music from another computer?

    If you want to use more than one computer with your iPod, then I would suggest using "Manually manage music and video" mode. I say that because when you go to the other computer and plug it in then your iPod is going to be erased of what is currently on it, and replaced with what your other computer has on it in iTunes. In order to get to that mode I mentioned up there you load up iTunes making sure that your iPod is connected and listed in iTunes, after it is all done syncing, click on your iPod in the source list, and then click on "Manually manage music and videos". If I were you, I would do this procedure on the computer that you have already plugged your iPod into, then after the procedure, you can use the other one. You are also going to have to go through an "Authorization" procedure. In order to do that, click on "Advanced" in iTunes and then scroll down to "Authorize this computer" and then follow any directions you may see. Oh and don't forget to click "Apply" at the bottom right of iTunes. Then you should be all set to use both computers. This will make it though so you have to manually copy music to your iPod as well as manually eject your iPod from iTunes.

    How can I download music from another computer's music library to my ipod without losing my own music?

    You'll want to enable Manually Manage Music and Videos. Once you do that you'll be able to drag and drop the music from the computer to the iPod.

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • Getting music from another computer

    I am trying to download music from a different computer onto my iPod but I don't seem to be able to override the "auto-sync" function. I don't want to erase what is already on there, I just want to add new songs, but as soon as I choose "cancel" (when it asks if I want to "erase and sync") all traces of the iPod disappear from the computer. I can't even get to a point with the iPod on the "devices" list in iTunes. And I can't get to the iPod from "My Computer" after I have chosen to cancel the automatic sync. Does anyone know how to help me with this?

    You can't do this.
    iPod shuffle's can only have music loaded on to them from one computer at a time.

  • IOS6.1: Can't sync music from another computer?

    Previously on 5.1.1 this worked just fine, no I seem to be having problems. Has Apple updated allowances across multiple computers?
    I sync and backup my phone to MacBook Pro 1. From here I maintain my iPhone and sync some photos. I sync music from MacBook Pro 2 by dragging and dropping. Manually manage music & videos is checked on both computers when iPhone is plugged in. Both MB Pros are almost the same spec and same OS.
    Problem is, when I plug the iphone back into MacBook Pro 1 after adding music from MacBook Pro 2 it removes all the tracks I have synced?
    Anyone managing to still do this or has something changed in iOS6.1? Or am I missing something in iTunes 10?

    I discovered that my MB Pro 2 had been deauthorized from my iTunes account. Re-authorized and works just fine!

  • How Do I Get Music From Another Computer That Already Has ITunes/Ipod insta

    Here's the story - I have a Video Ipod. I have music on it from my ITunes that I installed on my computer (PC). My sister has her own computer with her own itunes and her own ipod installed on it (same model Ipod and same version Itunes and also a PC). I want her music. I want it on my Ipod. How do I do this?
    When I connected my ipod to her computer it said that another user was using Ipod software and that they had to log off before it would recognize my ipod. How do I do this without affecting her Itunes/Ipod settings? Help? Thank you....

    what you are asking is illegal.. sharing music is illegal.

  • Two issues - Missing songs and retrieving music from another computer

    HELP! I used to have a PC that I used for managing my Itunes and photos. Well, a few days ago, that computer went to computer heaven and won't even turn on. So, my husband had a MAC laptop sitting around so I decided to re-import all of my CD's into Itunes on that MAC. I know I can get my purchased music into Itunes on the MAC, BUT, what if some of my purchases were not checked during my last sync, and therefore are not on my IPOD? Are they gone? Surely not! At least I hope not.
    #2, Has anyone ever seen the issue where you import a CD, go to your list of music, and only a handful of the songs from that CD are there? I'm having that issue as well.
    Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated.

    *what if some of my purchases were not checked during my last sync, and therefore are not on my IPOD? Are they gone? Surely not! At least I hope not.*
    If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
    "Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
    You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on the link at the bottom of this page you'll be able to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
