Why cant i sync music from more then one computer without having to erase the music already on my ipod??

I have music on my ipod and i want to add more music from a diffrent computer but everytime i try it tells me i have to erase all the music already on my ipod. ihave tried to do multiple things and it does not seem to work.

Yes, you can use the one that's not broken. It just doesn't have the same stuff as your iPod. So when you sync the content will be erased. If you have a backup, then you can save your iPod content. Anyway, those songs, apps and books you purchased from iTunes can be re-download free of charge.

    My sister and I both have ipod minis and is there a way for me to download some of her music from her to computer to my ipod mini as well as from my own?

    Set the iPod mini to manage music manually, and you can then transfer music to it from multiple computers.

  • How do I sync my iPhone to a new computer without having to erase and sync?

    Hi, i have an iPhone 4s that i have been syncing with my old windows computer. I now have a macbook air and obviously i want to start syncing my iPhone on my mac instead of windows.
    I DO have a backup of my iPhone on my windows if that makes a difference. I want to be able to use the mac iTunes for syncing and putting music from mac to iPhone but i don't want to loose any of the music, data, apps, notes, photos, contacts, messages etc...
    what would be the steps in doing this? do i have to move all my music from my old comp to mac or is there a way to address my problem by moving the library file to mac? 
    Ps i know this has been asked heaps but i dont understand the answers according to my specific situation, and btw i would like to do this without other apps or programs if possible, definetly no jailbreaking please

    Move your Entire iTunes Library from the PC to the Mac.

  • Manage music and videos manually from more than one computer

    Hello,
    I'm triying to transfer music from two computers (work computer and home computer) to my iPhone. The problem is that when I select the Manage music and videos manually on my iTunes and then apply it keep saying that the iPhone is already synchronized with another computer and if I accept I lose all the media (video and music) on my iPhone. I just want to add new videos and new music manually without losing the existing ones, is it possible?.
    I'm using the iPhone 3G with iTunes 7.7 (last version) and Windows Vista.
    Thank you

    Then it is not possible to add new music files or video files to my iPhone from more that one computer without losing the ones I already transfered from another computer. This is a pitty
    Thank you very much

    iTunes Match is not sharable across Apple IDs. The best way to get the music on her iPad is to leave hers signed into her Apple ID on the iTunes Store and sync via USB.

  • Sync to more then one computer

    Hello,
    this may sound like a silly question, but I was wondering if you can sync the iPhone to more then one computer.
    I have a laptop, and a iMac, both are synced to keep each others content merged and up to date.
    I want to get some of the music which is on both locations on my iPhone. in the photos and music areas .
    can this be done?

    No, not for music. The phone can only be synced to ONE music library, but contacts, calendars, and ohotos can be synced to multiple computers easily (Windows, Mac, or both, doesn't matter).
    I think it's possible to copy the files form one of your computers to the other (almost like you would do if you got a new computer and were transfering your music library to the new one) to consolidate your library all on one machine.

  • How do you use more then one computer for your Ipod??

    One of my computers died and I want to still use iTunes to get more music but I don’t want to erase what I have on my iPod now. I need to use a different computer with out erasing all the music I have now?? HELP

    If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to a different iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7.3 or later installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
    When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual. If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different. You can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing content manually on iPod
    Syncing Music to iPod
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • Using remote with more then one computer.

    Can i use remote with different computers? It works fine on mine but if i try to use it with another computer in the house it doesn't show up in itunes.

    If you want to connect and use an iPod (other than a shuffle) on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply.
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing content manually on iPod
    Note: When changing from automatic to manual, check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. "Don't" uncheck Sync Music in the Music tab, it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting, if you uncheck it without setting the iPod to manual first you'll erase all the songs from your iPod
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • Can I pair and use more than one set of bluetooth speakers at the same time on my ipod touch 4.0

    can I pair and use more than one set of bluetooth speakers at the same time on my ipod touch 4.0 or Iphone 4s or Ipad 2?

    You can only connect to one device at a time using Bluetooth, See article below for more information.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1664
    While your iOS device can maintain multiple pairing records, it can only connect to one headset or hands-free device at a time. This prevents your iOS device from sending your data to the wrong Bluetooth accessory.
