Stopping itunes wiping everything off

I had to recently install itunes and im planning on putting some more music on my ipod.However i previously wiped off all the music in my itunes libary because i needed the space.How can i connect my ipod without itunes wiping off all my music on my ipod?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
10tozover would be foolish to sell you the disc and it could be of no use to you whatsoever unless you check exactly which version of the iMac G4 10tozover has. For example the discs for a 700MHz iMac plain won't work on the later models.
I'd advise you to contact the seller from your auction and ask them to send you the disc; it's of no use to them.
Failing that simply purchase a brand new version on Mac OS X from Apple. It's going to be much more up-to-date and capable but won't include some of the free software that came with the iMac.

I am running osx 10.5.8 and just wiped everything off this computer to free up space (including iTunes). I am trying to re-install itunes now and it won't because I need to be running osx 10.6.8. How do I update?

I downloaded itunes to a new computer and it wiped everything off my ipod touch???

I got a laptop because my tower computer was ruined except for my drivers. I installed itunes on the laptop and connected my ipod touch and it wiped everything off. I beleive the backup never finished before it erased everything. Is there any way to retrieve my music pics and such now that they are gone and do not even exist on the new laptop?????

I they are not on your new computer they are gone. If you can't get them from your old computer they are gone forever.
You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. When you change libriares/computer iTunes will erase you iPoa\d and replace its contents with what is in the iTunes library of the hew computer.
You can redownload app and maybe music. from Itunes. See:

The update wiped everything off my phone.

The update wiped everything off my phone. It was updating fine, and I came back to the dreadful "plug into itunes" symbol.
Can someone please let me know why it did this? I updated to the iOS 7 without any problems like this. It's the iOS 7.0.2 that really effed me over.
I am truly devastated. All the pictures of my family are lost because I didn't think that this would wipe out my phone. If I had known, I would have backed it up.

No device in the world is perfect, and if those photos were so important,
they SHOULD have been backed up in the first place, regardless of what
device they were on.

Why has my mac wiped everything off my account?

I was aiming to delete some accounts that were not needed and were taking up space. Without realising I started to remove the account with everything I use on it. After I clicked cancel, my account still remains but everything on it has been reset. My pictures, documents, itunes etc.
Does that mean they are permanently deleted? Is there any way I can get them back?

You should be able to restore everything from your most recent backup.

Bootcamp and WIndows have wiped everything off my HD!!!??

HELP!!!!
I was installing Windows XP professional onto my macbook last night (granted it was a copy of a friends original version) using the downloaded bootcamp program but half ways through it told me the disk required more information and to insert the required disk or to cancel.....I cancelled out of the opertation and restarted my macbook but to my horror it seems that the entire hardrive and MacOSX has been cleared as now when I start up I get a message on a black screen telling me that there is 'No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key'........does this mean that I'm going to have to install macOSX onto the computer again and start from scratch,does anyone know of a way to fix this problem, or have I just successfully and irrepairably broken my macbook>??!?!!
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!

This seems to be a common problem when installing Bootcamp/Windows. If you don't select the correct partition, it will overwrite the OSX. I think you'll have to reinstall OSX. You might want to check the Bootcamp discussion to see if anyone has a way to recover the OSX partition.

So I uploaded some songs from a CD to my iphone 3GS and it asked me if I wanted to update my phone to the iOS 6.0.1 and I did. Then it wiped everything off of my phone and when I go to restore it it doesn't say that my phone is plugged into my computer!

please help!

did you do a back up after you added the songs and before you did a update ?

Ive had a lap top from a friend, she cleared everything off it but ive downloaded itunes and all her music has appeared in the itunes library. How can i delete her music from the itunes library?

ive got a laptop from a friend, she cleared everything off it. ive downloaded itunes and for some reason all her music has appeared in the library. How do i delete her music from the itunes libary so i can add my own music?

In iTunes, select the music you want to delete (⌘+a to select all) and hit Delete on your keyboard.
Also delete the music files in Finder. Also make sure you have your own Apple ID and iTunes account and logged in.

I have an old ipod and want to know how to get everything off it and into my iTunes library. My old computer died and the original library was lost, so don't have any of the content saved anywhere else.

I have an old ipod (it's the very thin oblong one in purple, the one before the one that does video) and want to know how to get everything off it and into my iTunes library. My old computer died and the original library was lost, so don't have any of the content saved anywhere else. I now have an iPhone 5S and listen to music on that, so want to be able to listen to things from the old ipod too.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks very much
Jane

Apple normally does not get involved in handling lost objects like this. Since a real name is not installed it will be much more difficult.
You can try contacting Apple support at the US number, assume you are US going to BWI from the listing: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and explain the situation and see if they offer any suggestions.

HT1386 how do I sync a full I touch to an empty Itunes? It keeps telling me it wants to delete everything off of my I touch.

It keeps telling me it wants to delete everything off of my I touch. I can't get the music I bought on this I touch to be copied into my I-Tunes.
I don't want to delete everything off this I touch. I've got a new Nano, and I want to transfer the old songs from the old I touch.

Sync by using the manual method included here;

You can only automatically sync to one iTunes library

Is there a way to delete everything off the Ipod but not off itunes?

I have a 4g Ipod nano, and it is full so it wont let me add any new songs. I have gone into itunes and deleted songs from my playlist and tried to update my ipod but even when i delete playlists and songs it still says that i dont have enough room to add any more. Is there any way i can delete everything off my ipod and but still have all my music in itunes so i can basically start over?

Try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. it won't remove anything from your iTunes library. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7
