Plugging in new iPod to filled iTunes?

i'm about to recieve my replacement ipod, and i'm hoping that all it will take to fill the new ipod back up with all my files is the simple connection to the computer/having iTunes running as normal.
i want to make sure that this will not delete my iTunes library, and that everything will update as normal.

Yes, simply plug it in. It will not erase anything on your computer.

New Ipod Nano on Itunes but won't import songs

I just plugged my son's brand new Ipod Nano into Itunes and it appeared on the left side as David's Ipod but when I went to import songs from my library it won't allow me to do it. It has a circle with a line through it anytime I attempt to drag a song on to it. I have two other Ipods (nano and mini) and never had this happen. I installed the software that came with it before this happened. It also says something like Ipod can't be upgraded because playlists no longer exist...When I first plugged it in the Itunes said that the library was too large for the nano and that it could select the songs for me. When I said yes it started downloading all these songs from the library (songs my son didn't want). I managed to stop it by having everything deleted off the nano but now I can't import anything. Help!!! Thanks

I actually have the windows XP and not ME if that makes a difference

Loading new Ipod shuffle onto Itunes account

Okay, I have an Itunes account already and it is connected to my old ipod mini. I recently got an Ipod shuffle and when I try to load songs onto it the ipod shuffle won't recognize them because they are protected on my itunes account. I tried to change my account so it recognized my new ipod shuffle and itunes said I was not authorized to do that. Any suggestions?

You can load any number of iPod devices with one iTunes library and account. So that's not the problem.
Are you sure your shuffle is charged? Did you try plugging it into a different USB jack? When you look in "My Computer" is your shuffle recognized? Does iTunes see your shuffle and list it as a device when it's plugged in?
Does your shuffle need a software update? OR, can you restore your shuffle? Go to the settings tab and click on the "Restore" tab.
Are you trying to use autofill for your shuffle? Perhaps, to get started, you should turn off autofill and make a playlist. I have found that it is easier to make a playlist of all of the music I want to add to my shuffle. Then I pull this playlist on top of my shuffle and it is updated.
Your shuffle should play your purchased music with no problems!

New iPod to old iTunes library

I have succumbed to the tempation of a new iPod with video. I have an old 3G iPod and a decent music library built up, including some ITMS stuff, in iTunes.
I presume it is straightforward to sync this with my new iPod? Will iTunes recognise the new iPod as a foreign user?
Any advice?

It won't be a "foreign user" if you're connecting it to the same Mac user account. iTunes will try to give the iPod the same default name (like "Martin Toal's iPod.") You will probably want to assign the new iPod a different name, to avoid any possible conflicts.

I was trying to add music onto my new ipod, and my itunes said it needs version 10.6.3. i then downloaded it, then it said it requires mac os x version 10.6.8. what does that mean?

If it's a fourth generation or earlier model, you need to download iTunes 10.6.3; the newer versions won't run on 10.5.8.
If it's a fifth generation iPod touch, you need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, which requires an Intel Mac, and then run Software Update. This also works with earlier iPods but isn't the best solution.

I bought a new Ipod touch, my itunes will not see the music I already have on my PC

I bought a new Ipod touch, my itunes will not see the mp3 songs I already have on my PC

I have thousands of mp3's on my PC. I used to use a Zune, it died I made the move to I pod touch. I downloaded I tunes to my PC and a small amount of my music showed up on the screen. I did a search for an artist for whom I have lots of songs. I tunes can't find him and tries to direct to the I tunes store to buy stuff by him. Unacceptable
So then I went to my windows explorer, opened my folder for the artist, right clicked on a song, chose "play" and I tunes then played it. So now I tunes can find that one song but none of the others in that folder. I don't want to do this drill with all my songs since I have thousands that I tunes can't or won't display. Is this just some cynical move by Apple to get me to re-buy music I already have?

I have a new Pc and installed Itunes, plugged in my Ipod, logged into Itunes, but it only shows some of my music. How can I take the music from my Ipod to Itunes? do I sync my ipod, or will that only sync Itunes songs and I will loose what is on my Ipod?

I have a new PC, I have downloaded Itunes, logged in and plugged in my Ipod. How do I make sure that all my music moves from my Ipod to Itunes? Currently it is only showing what I have purchased from Itunes on Itunes, not my entire library.

Maybe your ipod is not formatted for the pc. Try reformating it to FAT.

I added a new iPod and now iTunes won't recognize my old iPod

My old iPod's battery is just about dead. It is about three years old; I will send it to Apple for a new battery.
In the meantime, I bought a new 5th generation iPod, 60 GB. It's great! Eventually the old iPod will be my work iPid and the new one wil be the home and recreation iPod.
Here's the problem. I researched using two iPods from the same copy of iTunes. In response to my questions in this forum, someone referred me to the article at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432, "How to use multiple iPods with one computer", which I read, and which supported the idea that you can work with two iPods from one copy of iTunes.
My goal, then, was to follow Method Two as described in the article, and use two iPods from my one computer, without setting up separate user accounts for each one.
So -- I plopped in the CD that came with the new iPod, installed the latest iTunes. It had me register the new iPod by serial number.
In my copy of iTunes, my old iPod was called "Mae Sot's iPod". I set up the new iPod as "Mae Sot's New iPod".
I thought that from now on, when I plugged in my old iPod, iTunes would be able to recognize it, and when I plugged in the new one, iTunes would recognize it.
Wrong.
My copy of iTunes does great now in working with the new Ipod. But it totally rejects the old one.
When I plus in the old iPod to synch/recharge, I first get the Windows message in the lower right part of the screen with the headline, "USB device is not recognized", telling me that "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it..."
The first time this happened, that message eventually went away, iTunes launched, and I got an error message saying there was no folder for the device.
Now when I plug in the old iPod, I just get the "USB device is not recognized..." message, and iTunes does not launch.
Any idea what is the problem?
My goal is to get iTunes to add my old iPod as a recognized device, so that I can clean the music off it and send it to Apple for a new battery.

Can anyone help me out please?

Thanks!
Even though the diagnostics aren't showing errors for it, I think it's probably still worth checking on your USB drivers, as per the following document:
