If you want to delete stuff from your computer's hard drive after syncing it to the iPod, you need to set your iPod to manage the iPod content manually.
However, storing music on your iPod and nowhere else is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.
At the very least back up your music to either cd or dvd before deleting it, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost. See this about backing up media.
How to back up your media in iTunes.

    Try this ..
    On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to:  Notes
    Then reselect it.
    Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.
    Other than that, try Time Machine >  http://pondini.org/TM/15m.html

    Hello Philly,
    I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?)  touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
    I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.
    ~Remember, I am just giving an educated guess on limited information

  • I miss and erased all my music off my ipad and now its freaking out. I can't get it to re-sync. Can someone please help me. I want my music back.

    Hello. I am in need of some help please. I miss and remove all music off mt ipad mini. now it won't sync or re-sync. Can someone please help me. I was also sent a message saying there was a error. Help Please

    Okay, doing my best to ignore the EXTREMELY annoying font you chose to use.
    Is there a reason why you did not create a backup of your media and other important files before switching from Vista?
    It is the users responsibility to back up their media, it is NOT Apple's responsibility.
    When you purchase CD's or DVD's, if you lose them, you repurchase them.  Same deal with digital media.
    If you have a backup of your media, simply copy the files from the backup to your computer.
    If you still have access to your old computer, simply copy the files from it to your new computer.

  • Ipod wont sync music. . .please help

    Ok I've had my Ipod since last Christmas and I've tryed plugging it into the computer the last few days and all of a sudden it doesn't sync. It doesn't show that my Ipod is connected when Itunes is up. I can see my Ipod charging but it wont sync my songs. Please someone help me I love my ipod.

    Yeah I have the same problem, only I got my iPod just this past June. I keep plugging it into the computer, and it's being recognized by the computer because it's charging, but iTunes isn't seeing it because it won't give me the option to sync it. I tried turning autosync on and off and I downloaded the latest version of iTunes, but it still won't do anything. Can anybody help?

  • Updated my iphone 3gs, lost my music and apps, they are backed up on itunes, how do I move them back to my phone, tried to sync but not working, please help

    Updated my iphone 3gs, lost my music and apps, they are backed up on my computer but i cannot move them over to my phone, tried to sync but not working, please help

    well first make sure that when you click on the name of your iphone on the left hand side of itunes that you go to the app and music tab and check mark the sync apps and sync music. then try clicking apply in the bottom right hand corner. then if not try doing it again after going to prefrences in the top menu and going to devices tab and click reset sync history if that doesnt work with music try and drop and drag to the name of your iphone, lastly if that doesnt work you can try restoring from a backup from before you updated. it will keep the new software but put everything that was on your phone when you created the backup back onto your phone.

    I have over 600 songs, but will only sync 200 to ipod please help

    Hey jt14,
    Thanks for the question. I found an article that goes over several reasons why your songs in iTunes might not be copying to your iPod:
    Some songs in iTunes won't copy to iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1420
    If none of those solutions apply, I would run through the recommended syncing steps outlined in the following article, and check and see if you're following the manual or automatic syncing process:

    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

  • Help with message please:  Warning: mysql_free_result() expects parameter 1 to be resource, null given in...... line

    I would really appreciate some help with my search & results page that is now throwing up the following error:
    Warning: mysql_free_result() expects parameter 1 to be resource, null given in...... line (the line number refers to the following code:
    mysql_free_result($RSsearchforsale);
    mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale2);
    mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale3);
    mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale4);
    I am new to php and am setting up a dynamic site in Dreamweaver (thanks to the Missing Manual – very helpful). I apologise in advanced for my lengthy description of the problem (perhaps get yourself a drink before continuing!)
    I have a Search page with 4 list menus where the user can select an option from ANY or ALL of the menus, if a menu is not selected the value posted to the results page will be 'zzz'.
    On the results page I have 4 recordsets, all getting the correct results, only one recordset is required to run depending on how many of the menus from the search page have been selected and a test is run before executing the sql using a SWITCH statement checking how many of the menus had passed the 'zzz' values from the Search page if you see what I mean. The results page  has Repeating Regions, Recordset Paging and Display Record Count. The exact result that I require are generated by this method.
    THE PROBLEM, when a user makes a selection the first page of 10 results is fine, but the error message above is shown at the bottom of the page, AND when the user clicks NEXT to go to the next page of results THERE ARE NO RESULTS.
    This is exactly what happens depending on how many menus selected and which recordset is used:
    4 menus selected from Search: runs RSsearchforsale, results correct but 3 error messages on 1st page relating to mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale2),mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale3), & mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale4). The display record count shows correct results found. NEXT page is empty of results and still shows the correct display record count as if it should be displaying the records, also has the same 3 error messages.
    3 menus selected from Search:  runs RsSearchForSale2, results correct but 3 error messages on 1st page relating to mysql_free_result($RSsearchforsale),mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale3), & mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale4). The display record count shows correct number of results. NEXT page shows results from the  DEFAULT setting of the recordset and the Display record count reflects this new set of results. Also still shows the 3 mysql_free_results for RsSearchForSale2, 3 and 4.
    2 menus selected from Search: runs   RsSearchForSale3, results correct but 2 error messages on 1st page relating to  mysql_free_result($RSsearchforsale) & mysql_free_result (RsSearchForSale4). The display record count is correct. NEXT page does exactly the same as described in above 3 menus selected.
    1 menu selected from search: runs RsSearchForSale4, results correct but 1 error meaasge on 1st page, mysql_free_result($RSsearchforsale). Display record count is correct and again when NEXT page is selected does as described in above where 2 or 3 menus selected.
    If you have gotten this far without falling asleep then thank you and well done! I have pasted my code below and I know its a lot to ask but please please can you give me an idea as to where or why I have gone wrong. I felt I was so close at perfecting this search and have been working on it for weeks now. I feel sure the problem is because I have 4 recordsets on the page but I could find no other way to get the exact results I wanted from the menus.
    Looking forward to any help.

    Hi David,
    Thank you for your reply and patience, we are getting closer in spite of me!
    Of course i needed to change the name of the recordset, i did that the first time i did it (when i got the error), the when i re did it i forgot, in my defense i was also trying to get a full understanding of the code using the W3Schools php reference and writing by the side of the code on a piece of paper what it meant in English.
    Anyway after re doing the code correctly it still displayed all the records of my database but i realised that was because i was POSTING from the search form and when i changed it to the GET method I now get results when all 4  list menus are selected from and the paging works. After reading about the POST / GET method i chose the POST option, is the GET method a better option in my circumstance?
    On my site now if the user selects from 1,2 or 3 of the menus rather than selecting the relevant records it displays the NO RESULT page, I would like my users to be able to select from all of the menus or ANY combination of the menus and find exact results for their search, for example if they only select a location and a price i want it display all records that match that location and price with any number of bedrooms and any Type of property: Perhaps this is due to how my list menus are set up, for each menu the first Item label is Location (or Beds or Type or Price) and the value i have left blank which i believe means that it will use the item label as the value, the second Item label for all menus is Any and again the value has been left blank. All other item labels have values relevant to database records.  
    I do look forward to your reply and cannot thank you enough for following this through with me, please continue to bare with me just a little more,
    best regards

    You're not adding the WHERE clause to the SQL query. My example code uses $query_search. You need to change that variable to match the name of your recordset, i.e. $query_RSsearchforsale.
    Moreover, the WHERE clause needs to go before ORDER BY.
    $query_RSsearchforsale = "SELECT trueprice,`desc`, `propid`, `bathrooms`, `location`, `type`, `price`, `beds`, `photo1`, locationtable.loc, typetable.style, bedtable.`number` FROM detailstable JOIN locationtable ON detailstable.location=locationtable.locid JOIN typetable ON detailstable.type=typetable.typeid JOIN pricetable ON detailstable.price=pricetable.priceid JOIN bedtable ON detailstable.beds=bedtable.bedid ";
    // Set a flag to indicate whether the query has a WHERE clause
    $where = false;
    // Loop through the associatiave array of expected search values
    foreach ($expected as $var => $type) {
      if (isset($_GET[$var])) {
        $value = trim(urldecode($_GET[$var]));
        if (!empty($value)) {
          // Check if the value begins with > or <
          // If so, use it as the operator, and extract the value
          if ($value[0] == '>' || $value[0] == '<') {
            $operator = $value[0];
            $value = ltrim(substr($value, 1));
          } elseif (strtolower($type) != 'like') {
            $operator = '=';
          // Check if the WHERE clause has been added yet
          if ($where) {
            $query_RSsearchforsale .= ' AND ';
          } else {
            $query_RSsearchforsale .= ' WHERE ';
            $where = true;
          // Build the SQL query using the right operator and data type
          $type = strtolower($type);
          switch($type) {
            case 'like':
              $query_RSsearchforsale .= "`$var` LIKE " . GetSQLValueString('%' .
    $value . '%', "text");
              break;
            case 'int':
            case 'double':
            case 'date':
              $query_RSsearchforsale .= "`$var` $operator " .
    GetSQLValueString($value, "$type");
              break;
            default:
            $query_RSsearchforsale .= "`$var` = " . GetSQLValueString($value,
    "$type");
    $query_RSsearchforsale .= ' ORDER BY detailstable.trueprice ASC';
