Hi, for some reason I can't add more music to my iPod and it doesn't give me the choice of choosing iTunes to show my iPod. I want to add more music but all it gives me the option to do it put pictures my computer. I really need help and I have no clue what to do. Please help me

Try using RecBoot to kick it out of recovery mode. If that does not work, try a manual install, as outlined in link below. If it STILL keeps entering recovery mode, you most likely need a new logic board.

Assuming you have windows, try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall iTunes. You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful. Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.

If its never been synced to this particular computer then by default that is true.
iTunes will only let you sync to one library at a time, if you get this warning message, follow this:

HT1386 When I connect my iPod to my computer and try to sync Apps from my computer to the iPod, a warning comes up saying that I will lose all my existing Apps. Please help

I have got a new computer and i can no longer do a full sync. Apple always tells me I will lose all my exisiting Apps if I do a new sync. I prefer to purchase Apps on my computer over my iPod because of the smaller iPod. The new computer is recognized by Apple as an allowable new PC.
But this Sync warning is a pain. Plus, when i view my iPod's App icons on my copmputer, I can no longer drag and move them. I have the latest version of iTunes installed. Thank you for your help

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your device manually before syncing, you can restore it from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your iPod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your iPod for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

As for your second problem, see if restrictions for app installation and deleting apps are active in Settings/General/Restrictions. If yes, allow to install and delete app again.

When i connect my iPod to my computer it does not sync fully. Some songs in the library have an ! next to them. Apple have just replaced my original one as the battery was failing. Any suggestions?

When i connect my iPod to the computer it does not fully sync. Some of the songs in the library are marked with an ! and it says the songs cannot be found but when the iPod is not connected they are all there. Any ideas? Thanks

I had this problem before. What I did (which is good advice to anyone with electronic copies of music) is to back up all my music to an external hard drive. I then deleted all music from iTunes and copied back across from my external hard drive. Just make sure that under Preferences - Advanced in iTunes, you have iTunes Media folder location set as your C: drive, tick the boxes for "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organised" and "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library".
