One ipod two computers need help please

I have two computers and 1 ipod 60gb video.Computer #1 is my old computer that stores my videos and music files (about 500 total)It has itunes and quicktime installed on it.I just bought a new sony laptop computer and I installed itunes and quicktime on it as well.I have been using my new computer to download all my new and resent music and videos files and storeing them on the new computer.Well I have about 100 or more music files on it now.My question is how do I transfer the new files on my new computer without deleting my old files on my old computer.I do not want to tranfer the files from old computer on to the new one.If I plug in the ipod to the new computer that does not have the old music files from the old computer then all my old music files will be deleted right since it updates the ipod automatactly itunes will detect that the old files are not on the new computer.How can I tranfer my new files to my ipod????I dont want to put my old music files on my new computer.Im new to the ipod world but i have read a bit on the discossions segment.Please please help any body that can give any suggestions.

I new to this so I'm not sure if this will work.I have been playing and trying different thing. Try making a new playlist, make sure that the music/book you want to add is in that playlist, and update just that playlist,under your preferences. When you are done you will have to change your preference to Manual update. This way I'm just uploading the new stuff and leaving the info that is on the iPod is not effected. I just added a couple of books on CD, listened to them while I ripped some more CD's I have into different playlists, and then added then later. Not sure if it will work with two computers. Right now I'm just working on my laptop, desktop is down and I have not replaced it yet. I hope this helps.

One iPod, Two Computers, Two Countries.

So, I'm sure this has been hashed to death elsewhere, and this will either turn into a rant, or there will be a solution. So, here we go.
I'm an exchange student in Finland, and about 2 months after I got here, my iPod was hooked up my laptop, which then froze and completely wiped out my entire iPod of music. Absolutely blank. So, I've since gotten more music for the stupid thing. Now I'm just worried about when I go home and having that +stupid as ****+ message about "already sync'd with one library, delete everything to continue". I've gotten it here with my boyfriend's computer.
See, thing is, I'm not staying home. I will only be there for about a month and a half. And I cannot put all the music that I had on my home computer onto my laptop, because there is simply not enough room (I had over 12,000 songs, about 47 GB).
Now, if there's a way to have music for my library on an external drive and never have it actually taking up space on my laptop, then I suppose I could live. Please, dear god, tell me that is a viable option. I've been going nuts without my music.

I have two computers and one iPod.
I know I can use both of them with my iPod, as long
as I add files manually.
Just wanted to know if there is a way to update it
automatically in a way that the files that came from
the other computer aren't erased.
Thanks
I also have two computers and one iPod. I have set up one computer to update library/playlists automatically, and have set up the iPod on the other computer for manual updates. Although the songs appear in iTunes, the playlists don't, and I can't move any songs to/from the computer/iPod. The manual says it can be done, but it isn't working. Have you been able to move songs to/from your iPod/computer since you set it up like that?

One Ipod - Two computers - Songs have seperated

Hi There,
Hope somebody can help!! I have managed a while ago to move my itunes from one computer to another and everything worked hunky dory for a while however now all of a sudden the music that was on my original computer (computer 1) has dissappeared from my ipod. When I try to select and play the song using itunes on the 2nd comptuer it says the file is missing etc..... you can still see all the tracks but you cant play any of them and also they dont appear on the ipod.
I basically have two computers... computer one that has all my original songs on it and computer two which has everything I have downloaded since I got the 2nd computer. It still shows the computer 1 itunes in the library however they dont play or show up on the ipod.
I now have a third computer and I want to take all the itunes from both computers and move it on to the new computer. How on earth do I do this? I dont want to sit and put everything onto CDs...
Everytime I plug my ipod into the first computer it uploads all those songs, then If I plug it into computer two it wipes the computer one songs and replaces with computer two songs. I was driven up the wall with this last night. Argh... any ideas?

How did you "move" the songs to computer #2?
It sounds like what happened is you put them onto an external hard drive, or other storage format (CDR, DVD-R, etc), and added them to Computer #2's library. But the option to 'Copy added items to iTunes Music folder' is not checked in your preferences. So what happens is it adds the titles to your library but doesn't actually copy them to your computer #2 hard drive. So when the external drive, DVD-R etc. was removed from the system, iTunes no longer has access to the media files.

One iPod, two computers....

I may be slightly naive here, but I have just bought a new computer and would like to transfer my existing iTunes library already on my 80GB iPod (and synced with my old,slow now defunct laptop), but the iTunes system is not letting me do this. Am I missing something fundamental here? Surely I should be able to transfer my library to a new computer. What have people done with the new iPads -they must be able to transfer their libraries from their old computers to their new iPads?
I look forward to hearing from someone shortly.

What you do is this. locate your iTunes folder; under Program Files...? (not too sure on PC)
Then find the 'iTunes Media' folder. It will be HUGE. (especially if you have films, music etc. Copy this folder to your new pc (this may be tricky... directly via cable or via external hdd however you can).
Install iTunes on your new pc and when it asks you whether you want it to look for music say no. Then drag your whole iTunes media folder into the itunes folder and overwrite the new one (empty) with your old one (HUGE).
Be sure not to delete the folder off your old laptop until you're sure that it has worked.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To turn off auto sync - launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices - check the box at the bottom that says - Prevent iPod, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Click OK and then quit iTunes.
Connect your iDevice to your PC.
Launch iTunes,
Click on the device name on the left side of the iTunes Window.
Click on the Photos Tab in the iTunes window on the right.
Untick all of the photos or albums that you want to remove.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
If you untick or uncheck the Sync Photos heading and then click Apply it will remove all of the photos from the device when it syncs. In this screenshot - I have only certain albums and events selected to sync.

Hi,
usually when you upgrade, it should not delete your files, but if it happens, than you should have a backup.
Unfortunately it is very common, that people don't know, what exactly is in the backup.
The question is, what files exactly you are missing? Own pictures, or taken with the device? Purchased music form the iTunes Store, or own? ....
Documents and files are mostly up to the developer of the app, if they are part of the backup, usually not and you need to transfer them before.
In the backup you will find just pictures from the Camera Rolle folder, everything else you should have on the PC, if you had it on the device.
Same then for music, you can transfer purchased music from the device, but your own works just one direction, from PC to device, from device to PC it doesn't work.
In future I recomand you to be sure how the backup works or use a 3rd party app (iExplorer) where you have a little bit more "freedome" than with iTunes.
Or you maybe just restored from the worng backup

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

How can I add a new Template to My Templates in Pages? I've read most of the discussions on the subject but it doesn't work for me. By the time I reach the Templates folder, I only see templates for Numbers and not for Pages. Need help, please. Thanks

Si vous avez utilisé la commande Save As Template depuis Pages, il y a forcément un dossier
iWork > Pages
contenant Templates > My Templates
comme il y a un dossier
iWork > Numbers
contenant Templates > My Templates
Depuis le Finder, tapez cmd + f
puis configurez la recherche comme sur cette recopie d'écran.
puis lancez la recherche.
Ainsi, vous allez trouver vos modèles personnalisés dans leur dossier.
Chez moi, il y en a une kyrielle en dehors des dossiers standards parce que je renomme wxcvb.template quasiment tous mes documents Pages et wxcvb.nmbtemplate à peu près tous mes documents Numbers.
Ainsi, quand je travaille sur un document, je ne suis pas ralenti par Autosave.
Désolé mais je ne répondrai plus avant demain.
Pour moi il est temps de dormir.
