Restored computer to original settings need to export new songs to ipod

Ok this is a two part question. I recently erased and reinstalled tiger osx. im new to the world of ipod so i did not know that erasing all the songs on itunes would put it out of synch with the computer. i thought it might and tried deleting a couple hundred and the updated the ipod but all the song were still on the ipod. So my question is this: is there a program that i can use to export new songs to ipod with out erasing whats on there already? i tried to drag the itunes folder onto the ipod icon but that did not work. The ipod i have is a 30gig video. second part of the question is if i have to import all the songs from ipod to the computer how woould i do that seeing that it is not in sych anymore.
thanks for the help

Try Senuti.
It's a free program that transfers music from iPod to iTunes on a Mac.

  • How do i reset/restore computer to factory settings???

    how do i reset/restore computer to factory settings???

    Follow these instructions step by step to prepare a Mac for sale:
    Step One - Back up your data:
           A. If you have any Virtual PCs shut them down. They cannot be in their "fast saved" state. They must be shut down from inside Windows.
           B. Clone to an external drive using using Carbon Copy Cloner.
              1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
              2. Select the Source volume from the Select a source drop down menu on the left side.
              3. Select the Destination volume from the Select a destination drop down menu on the right
                  side.
              4. Click on the Clone button. If you are prompted about creating a clone of the Recovery HD be
                  sure to opt for that.
                   Destination means a freshly erased external backup drive. Source means the internal
                   startup drive.
    Step Two - Prepare the machine for the new buyer:
              1. De-authorize the computer in iTunes! De-authorize both iTunes and Audible accounts.
              2, Remove any Open Firmware passwords or Firmware passwords.
              3. Turn the brightness full up and volume nearly so.
              4. Turn off File Vault, if enabled.
              5. Disable iCloud, if enabled: See.What to do with iCloud before selling your computer
    Step Three - Install a fresh OS:
         A. Snow Leopard and earlier versions of OS X
              1. Insert the original OS X install CD/DVD that came with your computer.
              2. Restart the computer while holding down the C key to boot from the CD/DVD.
              3. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu; repartition and reformat the internal hard drive.
                  Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
              4. Install OS X.
              5. Upon completion DO NOT restart the computer.
              6. Shutdown the computer.
         B. Lion and Mountain Lion (if pre-installed on the computer at purchase*)
             Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because
                       it is three times faster than wireless.
              1. Restart the computer while holding down the COMMAND and R keys until the Mac OS X
                  Utilities window appears.
              2. Select Disk Utility from the Mac OS X Utilities window and click on the Continue button.
              3. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click
                  on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
              4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
                  and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
              5. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
              6. Quit DU and return to the Mac OS X Utilities window.
              7. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
              8. Upon completion shutdown the computer.
    *If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store then you cannot transfer your license to another party. In the case of the latter you should install the original version of OS X that came with your computer. You need to repartition the hard drive as well as reformat it; this will assure that the Recovery HD partition is removed. See Step Three above. You may verify these requirements by reviewing your OS X Software License.

  • While updating software on my iPod touch 4 my computerswitched itself off and now iTunes is asking me to restore to original settings but there are photos on my iPod that have not been backed up. Am I going to lose them?

    While updating software on my iPod touch my computer switched itself off and now iTunes is asking me to restore to original settings. I have photos on my iPod that were not backed up so will I lose them if I resore to original settings? If so is there any way I can get them back?

    After you restore to factory settings/new iPod you can restore from backup. See:

  • HT201210 My ipod has received error code (9).  I have tried to restore, but failed.  Any idea how to restore back to original settings?

    My ipod has received error code (9).  I have tried to restore, but failed.  Any idea how to restore back to original settings?

    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

    No promises but a System Reset is worth trying:
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
    A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.
    Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide.  Pay special attention to page 162.  Note that this Guide also applies to the iPad-1 with IOS 4.3 except for those functions that are not supported by the hardware.
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad
    Finally, the User Guide can be downloaded at no charge via iBooks and a less comprehensive version of the Guide is included as a Safari bookmark.

  • TS1389 My computer crashed and I need to install my songs on my new computer. How do I do that?

    My computer crashed and I need to install my songs on my new computer. They are on a hard drive

    Which product and what problem are you having getting it installed?

  • HT1386 My old computer crashed and I can't sync new songs from my new computer to my IPod without erasing all of the existing content on the IPod.  Can new songs be added without erasing?

    My old computer crashed and I can't sync new songs from my new computer to my IPod without erasing all of the existing content on the IPod.  Can new songs be added without erasing?

    Yes by:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    However, you can make this computer the syncing computer by:
    - Transering iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - For synced photos you need a program like TouchCopy or PhoneView. The do music too.
    - After everything is on the computer connect the iPod to the computer and make a backupo by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps, music, synced photos.

  • How to add new songs to ipod shuffle from different computer with different itune library without change old songs on ipod?

    Hello,
      I am using ipod shuffle. Now it's having some songs.these songs was synchronised with my old desktop itune library. Now i changed to laptop and downloaded latest itune software. Now i need to add more songs to ipod without change old songs on ipod. How it's possible? Please help.

    The way iTunes and iPods are designed is not compatible with what you want to do. The best approach would be to open iTunes on your old desktop, and make a backup of your iTunes library, from which you can copy across all the songs from your old library onto your new laptop - not just the ones that were synced to the shuffle. One place to start for instructions on how to do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1364
    The other approach is to search online for a utility that will copy songs off an iPod without syncing it, add those songs to your new library, and then erase-and-sync the Shuffle. This way, you only get to save whatever was synced to the Shuffle at the last sync.

  • IPod on new computer - can't transfer new songs to iPod

    Hi
    I've just got a new PC and have downloaded iTunes. When I connected my iPod it said it was already synced with another iTunes library (ie on my old computer).
    I managed to transfer all my purchased music from my iPod to iTunes on my new computer. But I've bought some new songs from the iTunes store and I now can't seem to transfer them to my iPod.
    Anybody know how I can fix this please?
    Kind regards

  • Restoring MacBookPro to original settings

    I would like to restore my computer back to my original settings, basically wipe everything out. I have backed everything (photos, documents, etc.) up on an external hard drive. I am having a hard time finding directions to do this, maybe I'm looking in the wrong location. I'd rather not mess my computer up more.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

  • Restoring system to original settings

    I am trying to restore my computer to the original settings to overcome a Tojan Horse that has hijacked my Internet browser. When I use the restore option, it only allows me to go back 3 months, and then tells me the settings then are the same as today. How do I restore the system to the original system checkpoint--to when I purchased the computer in March 2003? Many thanks for the help.

    Hi,
    if your restore options doesn't offer more restore points, then there is not chance to work with this function.
    So if you want to get back the original settings, you have to recover your System with the delivered Recovery CD.
    bye

  • My iPod touch won't connect to wifi. Password is correct. Already reset network settings and restored ipod to original settings. Already updated iTunes and upgraded iPod to iOS 6.

    A message keeps popping up when I try to join my network that says, "unable to join the network."
    I have already reset network settings and restored ipod to original settings.
    I already updated iTunes and upgraded iPod to iOS 6.
    The password is correct. I even made sure by checking my wifi account.
    I have completely restarted my internet connection multiple times.
    I have also restarted my ipod multiple times
    My wifi was working on my iPod yesterday before I reset all settings.
    I updated it yesterday to iOS 5. Still didn't work.
    It wasn't updated to the new iOS 6 until today so I don't think it has anything to do with the upgrade.
    My camera started to be glitchy, so I reset my Ipod like I was advised in another discussion.
    My internet wasn't connected anymore. My password wasn't working either, but the wifi connection was still showing.
    Safari still wasn't working, though.
    I did the sensible thing and I reset my network connection.
    Now, the password isn't working and there's no wifi signal.
    The camera is working well now, but the wifi is messed up. I didn't expect any of this to happen. The internet is all I use the iPod for. Now, the iPod is useless to me. Please help?

    are other things still connecting to the wifi without a problem?
    Have you tried resetting network settings, then unplugging modem and router from power for 40 seconds then plugging back in letting the lights stabilize and Then recconecting with the ipod>?
