Hello Stephen,
And welcome to Apple DIscussions!
Yes, this scenario is possible, however, it is not recommended. In order to make this happen, you have to set your iPod up to "manually manage music and videos" from under your iPod's Summary page in iTunes. For the best explanation of how to handle this situation, I would check out this older thread with the solution from Zevoneer. Check it out.

If you are running out of space on your computer, I would recommend purchasing an external hard drive to store your iTunes library on because if your iPod dies, that music is gone and you will have to repurchase it, if it's from the iTunes store, or re-import it if it came from your personal music collection.
Hope this helps.

Unrestricted sharing of free* items from iTunes Store

We are trying to find a legal but convenient way of managing our family iTunes purchases and sharing.
We are just beginning to use iTunes on a couple of new Macs, three iPads or iPod Touch devices and two old PC's.
We have a home Wi-Fi network with a network drive, where we can store items to be shared.
The children in a few years will move out and will take their music, e-books, etc. with them.
Our Internet connection is slow we would like to avoid downloading the same free item from the iTunes Store to libraries associated with different Apple ID's.
We want everybody to eventually have his/her own copy of our home videos and voice memos recorded on portable devices, which can be further shared without any restrictions.
I understand that some of the rules that Apple set for iTunes users are as follows.
1. Every item purchased from iTunes Store is marked with the ownership information i.e. information about of the account it was purchased from. (The account is identified at any given time by a unique Apple ID.)
2. The ownership information on an item can not be changed, i.e. I cannot give an item to somebody else, declining to use it any more, and transferring the item to that person's iTunes library associated with that person's iTunes account.
Question 1: Are the statements 1 and 2 above correct and precise?
Question 2: Does the same apply to free items (iTunes U, e-books, iPod/iPad apps) from the iTunes store? (it is painful to download the same free item to different accounts over a slow Internet connection.)
Question 3. Does the same apply to music imported into iTunes from a CD?
Question 4: Is it true that in order to allow the kids to take their items with them when they move out, one has to make sure that the items
have been purchased from iTunes accounts associated with their own Apple ID's and placed in their separate iTunes libraries?
Question 5: If I add our home videos and voice memos to my iTunes Library associated with my iTunes account, and do not retain other copies, will it be possible to copy such items to libraries associated with other Apple ID's without any restrictions? Will it be possible to extract such items from iTunes?
Question 6: As long as we are using the same Wi-Fi, can we share music, video, ebooks from libraries associated with different Apple ID's? I believe so, but please confirm. What are the restrictions? Is it helpful to place an iTunes library on a network drive?
Question 7: I believe the same iTunes library can contain items purchased through different iTunes accounts; also there can be multiple iTunes libraries associated with the same iTunes account. Are such options useful and would they help in managing family purchases and sharing?
Question 8. I noticed that a portable device can sync (download) items from only one library. Different persons have apps and music from different libraries associated with their own Apple ID's. We would like them to have also on their portable devices the same free e-books and home videos or voice memos. Do we have to copy such free e-books and voice memos to all the different libraries?
These must be questions many familes ask, but I could not find a precise and comprehensive answer despite browsing the web for several days.
Could you please help?

No. It said nothing about authorizing a computer. I only have one I-Pod and one computer with my library on it. I have listened to these 4 songs for over one year on my p/c and I-Pod. This is a new one to me. These 4 songs still show up in my "purchased" section of my I-tunes but I cannot play them and they will not
copy to my I-Pod. I see where I can repurchase these songs at the I-tunes store, but don't want to pay for them twice. What do you think is going on? Thanks.

How do I move and store my purchased items from itunes from my pc to icloud?

I'm trying to watch a rented movie on my pc through itunes, but itunes won't let me download anymore because my pc lacks memory. So I'm trying to free up some ram on my pc, by storing all of my purchased items from itunes on my pc and moving it to my icloud account. Will that solve the problem? And how do I do that exactly?

Hi DKX31,
To set up iCloud on your PC, you will want to follow the instructions in this article -
Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html
If you want to keep your purchased content in the iCloud, you will want to enable iTunes match

I am a resident of Canada. I cannot purchase any items from ITunes Store because I cannot update my billing address correctly. It is always default to US address. Why?

How to transfer purchased item from itunes to an ipod

how to transfer purchased item from itunes to an ipod? Spent about an hour and cannot figure out how to do that The best result this far was smth. like this to Sync a book means that all your music, songs, TV show and movies will be erased. What a strange Apple logic!

That message indicate that you are trying to sync with other than the one syncing computer/iTunes library that yo can have. You have to two choices:
- Make this computer your syncing computer by:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
- The manual method of syncng specified here:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
or
iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
The manaul method on works for music and videos on other than your one syncing computer.

Buying and item from iTunes, What action do you take in between having chossen an item to purchase and then being able to click on the word BUY. I have clicked on the price as it satates in the tutorial and I get a list of actions such as gift this item

This question is for anyone who has purchased an item from iTunes.
What action or actions do you take inbetween having selected the item to be purchased and having the word BUY appear on your screen for you to clic on it?
I have been told to clic on the price. When I do that this list appears; gift this, add to wish list, tell a friend, copy link, share on Facebook & share on Twitter.
Should I clic on one of thses or press enter after having clicked on one of these?
What action do you take inbetween having chossen an item to purchase and being able to see the word BUY?

Thank you for the answer. Apple support has been working on this question for several days.
I don't think they see any difference between the two tabs as I didn't think there was any seperation and the arrow was the place to clic on the price.
What would it take to get your statment added to the iTune tutorial?
For that matter what would it take to get actual tutorials listed under the heading Tutorials listed at the bottom of most iTunes screens. If you clic on the heading Tutorials at the bottom of iTunes pages it lists ads not tutorials.
Thanks again for your help.

Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Currently, you can gift dollar amounts or individual items (EG. songs) on the iTunes Store. See this article for more information:

I am trying to purchase an item from iTunes United Kingdom store. It is a television special; Downton Abbey Christmas special. Not available in the US iTunes stores. Is there a way to do this?

You can ONLY buy from the itunes store of your country of residence ( based on the valid billing address on your credit card) AND ONLY while you are physically located inside the borders of that country.

Deleted items from Ipod Nano to make room for new. Emptied trash. Still getting error message when I try to copy items from ITunes to Ipod. What should I do now?

Deleted items from Ipod Nano to make room for new. Emptied trash. Still getting error message when I try to copy items from ITunes to Ipod. What should I do now?

If you delete songs (and other items) from the main iTunes library, yes, you need to empty the Trash because iTunes puts the song files into the Trash. When deleting items from an iPod, the items are not being deleted from the main iTunes library, so nothing should end up in the Trash.
Hopefully, you are not deleting items from your main iTunes library, just to sync those deletions from the iPod. If you are, there is a better way. You can post back if you want more info...

HT203167 I recently downloaded my previous purchased items from iTunes but I have found that some songs dont play or have only downloaded half of the actual song :/

I recently downloaded my previous purchased items from iTunes but I have found that some songs dont play or have only downloaded half of the actual song :/ when i go to iTunes>Purchased it says that the songs have already been downloaded, which means i cant re-download them. is there a way I can re-download my previous purchased songs?

Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match. Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.

How to delete items from itunes library but not from computer

I was wondering if there is a way to remove items from my itunes library but still keep them on my computer in case I want to put them back in the library later. For instance, I bought the first season of Desperate Housewives, which takes up about 4.5 GB, and since I have the 30 GB ipod and lots of personally ripped DVDs, I'm running out of room. But it seems a waste to trash the files, since I paid for the show. I know I should back up the files to an external source anyway, and I've done that with my purchased music, but I don't have a DVD burner, and I'm not sure how many CDs it would take to back up the show. And I don't want to manually update the ipod because I think it's much easier to just plug it in and let it do its thing. Any suggestions/help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Go to that File(s) and right-Click to Remove; then it will ask you if you want to send it to the Recyle bin or Keep Files on your computer; Say Keep Files on your computer and should be fine.

Removing item from iTunes library AND computer

Under the "Help" search for the topic on iTunes 11 it says:
"3. Do one of the following:
Remove the item only from your iTunes library: Click Keep File.
Delete the item from your computer: Click Move to Trash. The item is removed the next time you empty the Trash."
However, those options don't appear.
I'm trying to delete the items from my computer, not just my library, but when I press delete it only lets me delete them from my library not my computer as well.
What's up with this?
Basically, whenever I delete something, it just deletes it from my library but no longer gives me the option to delete it from my computer.
I reset my warning catches etc.
No luck.
Please let me know asap.
-David

The second question about "Keep File" only shows up if the file you are deleting is in the iTunes Media Folder. If the file is outside the iTunes Media Folder, you won't see that second question.
