Why Can't I Add Songs To My Ipod From Another Computer Without Erasing The Ones I Already Have?
I have an "Ipod Touch 4 generation" and I have two computers located in my home. I have authorized both computers for my ipod. Why is that when I go to a computer and authorize it, it will not let me download the songs on that computer, without erasing the ones I have already on my Ipod?
Hi
This is because your iPod can only be synced with one computer, not just one iTunes account.

i want to connect my ipod to a friends computer to get some of her songs on my ipod. every time i do this tho it deletes the songs i already had on my ipod from the original computer. how do i get this to work? please help
When you connect the ipod and are prompted to erase and sync....just click cancel. Then click the ipod name below devices in the itunes source pane. From the ipod summary screen you want to check manually manage music and videos under the options tab. Apply the changes and you are now set to manually sync. Which means you just drag and drop the music you want to sync to your ipod below devices in the itunes source pane. Refer to this for more detailed instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535

Why can't I add songs to my iPod Touch 8GB 4th Gen?
I had an issue with songs being present on my iPod, yet the artists would not appear under "Artists". So I turned off "Group by Album Artist" in Settings and the problem was solved. However, and I don't know of that's the cause of the issue, I can no longer add song to my iPod. I add them manually, and when I do, I see them in gray under "Music" on iTunes with the sync logo next to then as if they're still being updated to the iPod. Yet they never do.
What happens when you try to sync tracks to it via iTunes? Any error messages? Does the iPod still appear under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes when you connect it via USB?
How is your iPod configured to sync with your library? In other words, what options and settings do you have in place from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration tabs in iTunes?

No. iTunes will first erase everything from another computer. It is designed to work that way.

My iphone was synced to my old computer
How do i add content to my phone from my new computer. It says i can only be synced with one computer and it will delete everything on my phone to sync with the new computer.
This doesn't make much sense. What am i missing?It does make sense. The iPhone is a one-person device and just syncs to one computer.
The way it should work is as follows:
Old computer content ---> New computer
New computer <---> syncs to iPhone
But the way you are trying to operate sounds like:
Old computer content ---> iPhone
... and ...
New computer content <---> iPhone
So simply move your old stuff (either directly from iTunes, or from a computer backup) to the new computer, have it all there, then sync your iPhone to the new machine. -

Why can I no longer use an image for my signature on forms? The only option I have now is "use a certificate". It was never like this until today.
Hi,
I had never heard of someone using the iPhone Number as the ID in the iMessages account in the Mac version.
i.e without adding an Apple ID
iMessages does allow iPhone numbers and mine lists mine.
I would try this.
Sign Out of the iMessages account and Quit Messages
On the iPhone in Settings > Messages remove the Apple ID
Set the iPhone to Airplane mode for a few minutes (to break with the Server)
On starting the phone up again check the iPhone Number is ticked for iMessages.
If it is add the Apple ID
On the Mac restart Messages
Add the Apple ID
At this point you should get a pop up or two saying the iPhone is using the Number and Apple ID.
Accept these and they get added to the Receive At list and Send From drop down.
