Updating iPOD with a song without using iTunes

Hi all,
I was wondering if it was possible to:-
1) Connect an iPOD to a computer
2) Automatically add a song to the iPOD from the computer
3) Disconnect the iPOD once the song has been added and synced.
This system must work with multiple iPODs, hence the need to bypass iTunes.
Is it possible?
iPod Windows XP Pro

Hi,
The machine the iPods connect to will be owned by different people.
The goal is to add a chosen MP3 to each iPOD as it is docked with the computer and then, once disconnected, the MP3 will be shown on the iPOD.
Thanks for getting back to me,
John

How to reset ipod touch 5th generation without using itunes

I am locked out of my IPod touch 5th generation because my password was changed on me. It says my ipod is disabled and I need to connect to itunes. However, I can not get itunes where I am so I need to know how to reset my ipod without itunes.

Only if:
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
otherise with a computer with iTunes and an interent connection
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Cannot update ipod with music from Music Store (iTunes 5.0)

Since I upgrade to 5.0 (34) the music I have bought and that I can play on my computer cannot be transfered to my ipod.
I can transfer music from cd's, but not from the Store.
Anyone has got the same problem?

You are not alone! I have exactly the same problem ... I even tried importing previously transferred protected purchased tracks from my iPod & send them back again but NOPE! (using a natty piece of software called Podworks)
It seems iTunes 5 will not the transfer of ANY protected files to my iPod!
What a breakthrough! We can buy songs from iTunes store but not transfer them to our iPods!
Wake up guys! Get an update ready NOW!

Is there any way I can update my iPad to ios5 without using iTunes?

My home PC crashed, and I haven't gotten a new one yet, and it's my understanding that if I can upgrade to ios5, I can use the Cloud instead. Also, what about all of my music in iTunes that is stores on my external hard drive?
Thanks.

Ok, one more, and I promise I'll be done ....
It looks like what I'm going to have to do is get a new laptop/pc - I'm fine with that.
However, presuming I get a new PC, install iTunes, all of my current stuff on my iPad and iPhone is backed up, I install the new os, and everything is good .... then I plug in my external hard drive with all of my music. Some of the iTunes music and movies on my external drive were purchased years ago with a now defunct Apple account and Yahoo email address. How can I access these items? I remember getting an error last time I tried to sync, and these items wouldn't sync.
Thanks again! This discussion group has given me more information in 10 minutes than 2 days searching the net.

You need to update your phone before you can restore the backup of his phone to it. Update your phone to iOS 8.0.2 and then you will see both backups as options.
You can restore a backup created with an older version of iOS to a phone running a newer version but cannot go the other way.

Is there a way to copy or back up contacts from my Ipod touch without using Itunes?

Is there a way to copy or back up contacts from my Ipod touch without using Itunes?

Are you sure that you can transfer contacts from the iPod to Skydrive?
I would try the links that I previusly provided and try to get iTunes to see the iPOd so you can do everthing right.
If you find a computer that can see the iPOd yu can update the iPod on that computer. See:
iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5
Yu can make that your suncing computer by -
- Transfering iTunes purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Connect the iPod and make a backup by right clicking on the iPOd under Dvices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore from that backup. That will also update the iPod.

How do I load music on a new ipod without using itunes?

I am having tons of problems with getting itunes to pull up on my computer. I believe that my computer has a pretty nasty virus in it and it is causing problems with many of my programs (internet explorer, norton, and other programs). I am having my computer worked on later this week so I hope to get the virus taken care of. In the meantime I would like to load some music that I already have on my computer on to my ipod without using itunes.
When I connect my ipod via the USB cable and pull up that drive I see the files: Calendars, Contacts, and Notes. I am assuming that I need to create a "Music" file that I will then drag-and-drop the MP3 copies from my computer to the newly created file. Is this correct? If not....then what do I need to do?
Thanks for the much needed help.

HT204088 Why can't you print a cd jewel case listing of songs using iTunes. Is there some other way of doing this without using iTunes?

Why can't you print a cd jewel case listing of songs using iTunes. Is there some other way to do this without using iTunes?

Hi spider1950,
As long as you have the most recent update of iTunes (11.0.4), you should be able to print a jewel case insert directly from iTunes. You may find the following page useful:

HT1414 How can I reset or unlock my Ipod Touch without using itunes?

I cant connect to my iTunes cause my Ipod Touch is locked and now i cant unlock it. I would like to reset or unlock it without using iTunes? Is there anyway i can do this?

No. You need iTunes on a computer.
Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod inRecovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Without using iTunes, I want to browse to an Apple website that shows me the list of devices associated with my Apple Id

My primary goal: I want to browse to some Apple website where I have already logged in using my Apple Id and password, and I then want to click a link that will bring me to a page that will show me the Apple Devices that I "own", that are associated with either "me" (whatever that entity Id should be) or with my Apple Id. Most importantly, I want to do this without using iTunes. I have seen my list of devices before on an Apple web page, and it even shows the MAC addresses of the devices. I did not reach this list by using iTunes.
I know for an absolute fact that an Apple Customer Service rep on the phone showed me some trick for viewing all the devices that I had purchased. There was even a device that another person had purchased and then had sold to me, and this Apple rep showed him how to "disown" the device and she then walked me through how I could take over ownership of the same device).
The procedure that she walked me through might not have anything to do with my Apple Id. It might have had to do with some other unique way of identifying myself. I simply cannot remember, and I cannot imagine what that Id would have been. I have searched and searched via Google and every result returned by Google always talks about using iTunes to associate an Apple device with my Apple Id.
My secondary goal: If this is not the appropriate community to which I should have sent this question, all I can say is that it was the closest match that I could find. If no one here can help me achieve my primary goal, can you please suggest another community to which I should post my question?
Thanks!

After hours and hours of failed searches, I must have used a different keyword in my Google search, and here is the website that I was looking for:
https://supportprofile.apple.com
And here is the guy whose website I found that helped me solve my problem:
http://www.marcomc.com/2011/01/how-to-find-the-list-of-my-apple-registered-produ cts/
I was going to rant here about how badly Apple designed their "Apple Id" stuff, how they strongly distinguish between using your Apple Id at the online Apple Store vs. using it at the App Store (which you have to get to via iTunes ... quite ridiculous) ... but I won't. :-)
Anyway, I hope that the two previously mentioned websites will be of help to others.

When my hard drive died I lost my itunes library and now I'm being told that I can't synch my ipod with new songs unless I delete all existing because I can only have one library at a time

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.

I tried to update my itune with the latest update and now i can't use itune at all . I have tried reinstalling it . all get is MSVCR80.dll and then I get Error 7 (windows erreor 126) . Need help please .

Similar problem here. iTunes11 notified me it was available. However, auto-update failed. So, I downloaded for manual update. That failed with "permission" message. I am administrator on this machine (WIN7). I tried uninstalling old version, but it failed with same permission issue. I now can't start iTunes... throws permission message. So, I'm completely dead in the water. Does this stuff get tested before it's shipped?
