The computer where i have my itunes library is no longer accessible. How can I add new songs to my Ipod nano without losing the song already on it?

You will need that library copied from the old computer. If not, then you can take a look at this in getting 3rd party software to recover your library from the iPod. Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

I still don't know if the drive that crashed was the external drive, or if it was the internal drive, and if it was the external drive if that was the only copy of the library.

Anyone know how to fix this?

You can't connect directly to the external drive, but should be able to use iTunes Home Sharing via the laptop.

Okay ... you might be able to get back some of your past purchases if your country's iTunes Store supports redownloading past purchases. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
... but if you didn't maintain a back-up, then other content (songs that you'd ripped yourself from CDs and so forth) is gone, and you'd have to reimport it.

Do you mean a flash drive? I don't know if I would trust one of those entirely. Make sure you make a backup.
Copy the entire iTunes folder to the flash drive. Start iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and guide it to the library on the flash drive. If you forget to plug in the flash drive before starting iTunes in the future you will have to do the option start thing again.

How do i connect my ipod to a new computer without losing the songs on my..

I bought a new computer and I've installed itunes on it. I want to transfer all the songs on my ipod to itunes on my new computer. How can i do this without losing the songs on my ipod? Can anyone help me?

scottydubs,
Check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer.
There's also another method I've seen posted. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer.

SYnce them to the iPod from your iTunes library.
Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod.... and follow the instructions.

Thoroughly angry and frustrated. I've run out of room and need to make more to add more songs. Once and for all, how do I, if I even CAN, delete music from my iPod Nano WITHOUT losing them from iTunes?

You should take the time to familiarize yourself with the documentation that is available. You can "uncheck" a song in iTunes, and then do a manual update.

I think you have to have the files on your HD. So either put them in iPhoto or copy them to a folder in Finder, and from there you can upload to Facebook.
