Synching Ipod with Itunes

Hi. I have a general question. I recently deleted a lot of files from my library to save space. So they wouldn't change what was on my Ipod, I selected 'Manually Manage Music and videos'. Since then, I added some new songs which I would like to synch with my ipod to show these new songs without erasing any songs I deleted from my library. Is there a way to do this?

*I would like to synch with my ipod to show these new songs without erasing any songs I deleted from my library.*
No there's not, if you return the iPod to syncing with your library the songs you erased from iTunes will be erased from the iPod. Since you've changed your option to manual update you simply need to drag the new songs from your library to the iPod: iTunes for Windows - Adding songs to iPod manually

  • Error 48 and Error 69 when trying to synch iPod with iTunes

    I keep getting error 48 and error 69 when I am trying to synch my iPod to iTunes. I have tried all of the Apple troubleshooting steps and still cannot get music onto my iPod. Has anyone else had this issue and been able to resolve it?
    Thanks,

    Hey there! I see you have Tiger...grrr...I love Tiger. But, is this a Windows problem? I am going to assume that this is a Mac OSX problem. Although, I own several Mac's, I have not run into that problem, But perhaps you could find the help on the iTunes for Mac forum:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=789
    I'm not sure really why you are getting that problem. That's kinda odd. But, Good Luck, I hope someone over there can help you out.

  • Request help for synching iPod with iTunes after Windows re-install

    I recently reformatted my hard-drive. I have installed iTunes. When I plug in my iPod (old Nano), I get a message asking me to "Erase and Sync" or "Transfer Purchases". My iPod has some purchased songs, and many songs ripped from my CD collection (mp3 format). I would like to have the entire iPod contents populate the new (empty) iTunes library. I am guessing that the Transfer option is the best of the two, but am worried about losing songs, since it would be a lot of work to re-rip the non-purchased songs. Will "Transfer Purchases" transfer all music?
    I would appreciate any suggestions, before I proceed. Thanks in advance to any replies.

    *Will "Transfer Purchases" transfer all music?*
    No it won't, it will only do what it says which is to transfer purchases, it won't transfer non-purchased items.
    *When I plug in my iPod (old Nano), I get a message asking me to "Erase and Sync" or "Transfer Purchases".*
    Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod.
    The transfer of content sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    As for your purchased songs, the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article but the utilities above will copy both purchased and non purchased songs anyway: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • Trouble synching ipod with itunes

    Laptop had a virus which ate its way through most things including itunes (everything was gone). PC World have fixed it but after downloading itunes again and synching in my ipod, the only songs/albums that have been synched have been those purchased from the itunes store itself. Songs purchased via a CD or downloaded from Amazon have not been synched back in. Is there any way of getting itunes to take these songs back on board as it is a bit off it only accepts songs purchased from its own store only.
    Many thanks in advance

    itunes/ipods were deliberately designed that way - only purchases can easily be restored from the ipod. And even that is a fairly recent development; itunes v4,v5,v6 couldn't even transfer purchases easily. It's all about the record companies....it doesn't really stop music theives, just makes it harder for honest folks to recover from a hard drive disaster.
    Your best bet is page 3 from this iLounge article:

  • Need help re-synching iPods with new computer and getting iTunes to...

    Need help re-synching iPods with new computer and getting iTunes to recognize our iPods (it doesn't even recognize them when they're plugged in).
    Hubby wiped my harddrive for me, so now I need to get everything back in proper places. I'm using windows XP and installed iTunes once again (I believe it's version 8). I also installed all of my iTunes songs. Now I need to know where to go from here. We have 3 iPods and I need to get them all synched once again. I know how to create different libraries for each of us, but I can't figure out how to get our songs back into our iTunes libraries. When I open iTunes and plug in an iPod, iTunes doesn't even show that an iPod is plugged in.
    What do I do now to get each of our iPods synched with our own libraries?
    TIA
    Brandy

    Thanks Zevoneer. The "Restart ipod service" worked and itunes is now recognizing my ipod! Hooray!
    Okay, now how do I synch all of our ipods with our individual libraries (I don't want all of my kids' songs and vice versa)? We each have hundreds of songs on our ipods that we don't want to lose.
    Thanks again!

  • Synching Ipod with External Hard Drive

    Hey there,
    I have a Powerbook G4 and a 5G video ipod with itunes 7. Now, my computer hard drive space is rapidly approaching full capacity, so its getting to the stage where I will need to transfer the 30 odd gigs of music to my external hard drive. But i was wondering what this action will mean when it comes to running itunes 7, and synching my ipod, as i'm sure there are a number of complications involved with locating the itunes library etc etc etc
    Is there a way to transfer my entire music library to my external hard drive, yet still be able to easily update my ipod whenever I add new stuff???
    Or alternatively, are there other alternatives
    Cheers,
    Mike

  • Each time i try syncing my ipod with itunes, it freezes itunes and i end up having to shut down my computer.  This happened after the latest download, any suggestions?

    each time i try syncing my ipod with itunes, it freezes itunes and i end up having to shut down my computer.  This started happening after the latest download and my latest purchase.  The latest purchase doesn't show up on my iPod and itunes freezes at synching step 2 on 2.  Any suggestions?

    You should Reset your iPod, by
    1. Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 Secs till the Apple Logo comes ON.
    2. Disconnect the sync cable.
    3. Check the iPod Welcome screen, select language, go to menu (if you are lucky, your music are still on the iPod.)
    if your iPod doesn't show the Welcome screen, bring it to Apple Store.
    If the above is okay, (can see Menu but no Music)
    4. Close iTunes and Reboot your PC.
    5. Start iTunes
    6. Connect the iPod to the Sync cable.
    7. if iTunes ask to Restore, please do so.
    8. Sync your iPod. ( I would advise you to disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus program when doing this.)
    Good Luck.

  • Hi how do i delete voice memos from my iPhone 4 after I have synched them with iTunes?

    Hi how do i delete voice memos from my iPhone 4 after I have synched them with iTunes?

    Hi James thanks so much for your reply
    What I was trying to do though was to mass delete the voice memos from the phone, and I was told that one can do that via iTunes. Problem is that when I do open iTunes, I am not able to locate a TAB thats says ON THIS IPHONE
    I was told that one could click on this and then select multiple Voice Memos and delete this way.
    Thanks again for your assistance

    When I try to sync my iPod with iTunes I can't because it says it's over capacity. It's not. It's a 16 GB iPod, it's only 105 songs on there. No movies or pictures or such. Anybody got a word of advise? I've tried resetting the iPod but get the message that it's not possible cause i'm not connected to internet. I am though. Tried managing music manually. I've tried all the usual stuff.

    Go to Settings > General > Usage and see how much is shown available and how much is in "Other".

    Yup,
    Me too...this is stupid, stupid, stupid. Just purchased my 200 (ish) mac and now I am told that my new Mac Book pro is not "authorized".
    Which if my 200 macs are authorized. Can someone please tell me???
    I "deauthorized" my old MBP and still told I cannot use my iPhone with iTunes.
    Interesting that my old $2500 MBP, my new $3000 MBP and my $500 iPhone all cannot work cuz of some pinhead's decision to use this assorization process.
    Yes I am very, very, very mad.

  • I deleted all my playlists provided. However, they are still on my Ipod Touch. Now, when I sync my Ipod with Itunes then the lists are copied back into Itunes?

    I deleted all my playlists provided. However, they are still on my Ipod Touch. Now, when I sync my Ipod with Itunes then the lists are copied back into Itunes?

    A playlist takes up almost no room. A few kB at most.
    It is simply a list of songs in the library
    Do you want the playlists or not?
    Now, when I sync my Ipod with Itunes then the lists are copied backinto iTunes?
    Do you want them copied back into iTunes?

    I have continuously over the last 6 months struggled with syncing my iphone and ipod with itunes  The app continually crashes during the picture import.  AND by the way it takes 10-15 minutes before it even attempts to import photos.  The screen says importing photoes but doesnt try to optimize or anything for 10 minutes.  I have a 3gs with 16Gb so its not a cheap phone.  I have 10Gb free.  I have 6600 photoes.  This is very frustrating and undermines my confidence in your products.  My ipod is an ipod 4 with 16Gb also.  It does the exact same thing to it.  The last time, I had to import photoes a few at the time and with it taking 10-15 minutes each time for 6600 photos it is a long frustrating process.  But it will import every photo a few at a time.  The error message is just that itunes has stopped working.  no hint as to why. AND of course, my phone is out of use for the entire time.  You guys must not want to believe ur phones are a necessary tool...or maybe you dont want the consumer to believe it is.  I have tried to find solutions on your website as well as through other 3rd party communities.  Ultimately they were of no use.  I stumbled onto my solution by accident since Im a bit of a computer geek...a semi-geek.

    I have this issue too, I went into my Windows event viewer. (should have looked at this a year ago when this started)

    basically whenever I try to sync my ipod touch 4G 64GB it crashes iTunes when it begins the pictures. if im lucky ill get 4-5 on there before it stops responding. its not my system or anything im running win7x64 8GB DDR3 ram (Corsair XMS3) AMD FX Eight core processor.
    It is silly that iTunes cannot add pictures to apple devices. it shatters whatever incline I may have to buy apple products. knda like the Airport Extreem router my dad bought the new firmware, caused my router to not function... why release firmware that breaks a product. -_- <-- off topic but still

    Already for 40 minutes.
    I closed down iTunes.
    Now, when I turn on my iPod, there is the icon of iTunes with an usb cable towards it.
    When I attach it to my computer and turn on iTunes, the message is there that a iPod was stuck in recovery mode and I should retry it.
    And then I get the same story. Unpacking, installing, checking... blocked!

    Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.
