Possible to have more music in iPod than on computer?

So, I'm expecting my new iPod (160 GB) to arrive shortly. It dawned on me that my computer only has an 80 GB hard drive. Now, I don't have that much music at the moment, but I got to wondering if there is any way to have more music/movies on the iPod than on my computer, since the iPod is so much bigger?
And, how would I do that?

By setting your iPod to 'Manually manage music and videos', you can add music and videos to your iPod from your computer and delete it off afterwards. By doing this, the media stays on you iPod and doesn't take room in your iTune's library or hard drive.
However, if you need to restore your iPod in the future, you'll need to retrieve that data back onto your iPod as it'll delete everything off your iPod. Be sure to back up all your deleted media and data that you've added on your iPod if you're going to manually manage your music and videos.

  • How to have more songs on iPod than on laptop?

    My iBook has 27GB, my iPod 40GB. I want to keep basically all music on the iPod and as little as possible on the laptop. E.g., import my CD's into Itunes, dump into iPod, and delete from iTunes thereafter. How can I do this?
    I selected "manually manage music" in the summary tab for the iPod, but that just made it crash, and when I deleted files from Itunes, it still deleted them from the iPod. How does one, in fact, manually manage music on this thing? Oh, it's a white ipod 40GB, bout 2 years old.

    Manually manage is want you want. Sync selected playlist mode might work also.
    What crashed, iTunes, computer, or iPod?

  • If you have more music on the computer than nano can store...

    If you have more music on the computer than nano can store, how does it choose what goes on the iPod? LIke, a normal synching just dumps everything, what happens when the iPod can't hold everything?

    Hi Eric,
    Your computer will pop up with a message that it failed to update any song to the Nano. You must creat a new playlist and copy the songs there, and make sure the size is not larger than Nano can hold

    Thanks in advance for any help!
    You didn't specify whether you are using the "official" Yahoo mail app, or some other email application like K-9.  But either of those allow for the specification of multiple email accounts, and you don't even really need to sign in/out.  Once you set up the accounts within the app, just select the email account that you want to view.  It might be a little more problematic if you want to prevent each other from being able to see the other's email, however.

    Yes. Configure your Shuffle to sync only selected playlists from under its Music tab.  This article should be able to assist you with this.

  • Hello. I have an ipod classic generation 4 and I want to add some more music to it however my computer and itunes do not recognice it when I try to connect it. Is it incompatible with windows 7 or itunes?

    Hello. I have an ipod classic generation 4 and I want to add some more music to it however my computer and itunes do not recognise the device when I try to connect it. Is it incompatible with windows 7 or current version of itunes?

    It should still be compatible.  Have you tried plugging it into a different USB port using a different cable to see if that helps?  Perhaps, try it another computer as well to see if it's recognized there.
    Otherwise, start by checking to see if it's even recognized in Device Manager.  See this article for details.

  • Is it possible to have more than one Tax code per line item in Billing docu

    Is it possible to have more than one Tax code per line item in Billing document ?

    Hi,
    I have a different perspective there.
    If an item is applicable for two different taxes which are represented by two different tax condition types and these tax conditions are configured in the tax procedure, FTXP and so on....then these two condition records can have two different tax codes.
    We actually have this scenario in EU now, where EU talks about service tax in 2010 apart from the normal VAT. So now we have MWST and ZWST(Say)
    Now there are some materials which come with a service associated with it. So a service charge is also levied when the material is sold. So the material price will become applicable for VAT and the service charge becomes applicable for service tax. In this case, the tax classification of the customer will have two entries in sales orders updated in the fields VBAK-TAXK1 and VBAK-TAXK2 based on the sequence number of these condition types.
    Now based on different tax classification of the customer, we have 2 different tax codes representing different %of tax.
    Hope it helps

  • My iTunes library only shows purchased songs but i have more music on my iPod if it syncs i lose it all?

    My iTunes Library only shows purchased songs from iTunes, i have music on my iPod from purchased and cds i have burnt from my computer, this all used to show up in my library but since having to have a new hard drive in my computer my library only shows purchsed songs. If i want to sync my iPod it tells me i will lose all exsisting music which i don't want to do, can anyone help? 

    - TransferiTunes purchases to the "new" computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - When all ths stuff is in your iTunes library, make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and then right-clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Backup.
    - Last, restore from that backup and then sync as necessary.

  • HT1399 Why cant I create a playlist for my music/song videos? Continuous play is also not possible in the video app on the phone!!!! previously, prior to IOS 6, it was possible to have both music videos & songs mixed in the same playlist in the music app

    I am back with an update. I turned off Match on both the ipad and the iphone 5. By doing so I was able to sync my Iphone and ipad to itunes and store the music on my devices rather than the slow streaming.  So far this has fixed my problems with the iphone I have all my music, playlist, most of the album art and so on.  But the ipad is a different story.  I have the music and artist but not one playlist  I am sure Apple will have an upgrade soon that will address these issues they are usually very good about this. 
    Now have any of you experienced another problem that has existed as long as I have used faces in Aperture.
    I have over 200 faces and they are organized a-z problem is I have this going on A-Z folowed by a few that start over A-Z followed by another few A-Z and again a 4th time A-Z.  Imagine how difficult it is while I am showing someone the great features of my iphone, ipad and imac.  Which I do talk highly of all the time.  But how do I explain that even though their name starts with a or b or what ever they are not important enough to me to be in the first list of A-Z or even the 2nd or 3rd list of A-Z someohow they are in the 4th section of the list!!!!
    I have managed to get the Imac to fix this but for some reason the IOS devices do not.   Any ideas?
    Thanks Al

  • HT204291 Is it possibly to have iTunes music play out of both the computer and AppleTV while using Airplay Mirroring for the TV?

    Is it possibly to have iTunes music play out of both the computer and Apple TV while simultaneously using Airplay Mirroring to view the computer screen on the TV? Whenever I try, by clicking on 'computer' radial button for volume in iTunes Airplay, the TV automatically reverts to the Apple TV screen. I usually end up using preferences to 'bring back' the audio to the computert while leaving the picture on the tv, but this means i have to suffer from the inferior sound quality of my Macbook internal speakers.

    I have  anew computer and my ipod was attached to the old one, how can i have my music download to the new computer and sincronize it.

    If you no longer have the old computer this will be very helpful and If you have other content - apps, books, movies, that you want to transfer to the iTunes library - you need to transfer your purchases from the iPod to the computer as well.
    Take a look.

    This works the same way whether you have a Mac or a PC.

  • HT201077 Why does photo stream on my i phone have more of my pictures than photo stream on my mac?

    Why does photo stream on my i phone have more of my pictures than photo stream on my mac?

    Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane and disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.  Then log back in and re-enable, respectively.  That should jump start Photo Stream on your Mac.
