Answers:

when your iPod is plugged into your computer, click on it%26#39;s "name" once iTunes is opened up. there should be an unchecked box saying "Manually Manage Music". Click it. :) First get it so that you can see the iPod on the left side of your screen. Then, click on that tab and look towards the bottom of the page and click the box where it says Manually Manage music. Then, you should be able to add your songs manually

How do i transfer song files that are only found on my ipod to my computer.?

Answers:

use a program called iDump it is very simple to use. Apple doesn%26#39;t support that but there%26#39;s third-party software you can buy to do it... I%26#39;ve never used it but I%26#39;ve seen it at Best Buy. sync with itunes...then you%26#39;ll have it on both. use your ipod as a disk

Using iPod as a drive

Connect iPod to your computer.

Open iTunes if it doesn%26#39;t automatically open.

Select the iPod icon in the Source pane.

Click the Summary tab.

For most iPod models (except iPod shuffle):

Select "Enable disk use" or "Manually manage songs and playlists". Either one will allow you to use iPod as a drive. If you select "Manually manage songs and playlists", iTunes won%26#39;t automatically update iPod with the iTunes library. If you want iTunes to automatically update your iPod, select "Enable disk use" instead

The iPod disk icon appears on the desktop and in Finder windows, and in My Computer/Computer in Windows. Double-click the icon and drag files to or from iPod%26#39;s window to copy them.

Make sure to eject iPod before disconnecting it from your computer. Tip: The iPod display will say "Do Not Disconnect" when disk use is enabled (iPod shuffle%26#39;s status light will continue to blink orange until after it is ejected). These are reminders for you to eject iPod first.

Copying songs from your iPod to your computer

The iTunes library on your computer holds all the media (music, videos, podcasts, etc.) you%26#39;ve encoded from your CD collection or purchased from the iTunes Store. With default settings, iTunes automatically copies the media in your library to your iPod. When you use your iPod as a hard disk, you can%26#39;t see the media iTunes copies to your iPod in the Finder or My Computer. This is normal. Using the Finder or My Computer, you can%26#39;t copy these media files from your iPod back to iTunes or to any other computer. The synchronization between your iPod and your computer is one way: from iTunes to iPod. The exception is the transfer Purchases feature, which allows you to restore purchased iTunes content to your computer from your iPod.

How do I transfer songs from limewire to itunes then to my ipod?

I have a ipod nano(4GB) and I want to transfer my songs on limewire to itunes so I can put it on my ipod. When I connect my ipod to my computer itunes comes up and then I see my limewire tunes there, but I can%26#39;t drag the songs into my music library on itunes, and suggestions?

Answers:

Make sure you have limewire and iTunes open

You click the song you want, from limewire to make it highlighted then you will click it again to "grasp%26#39; it

then you simply remain your grasp click on the song (you will see a symbol..the one that represents a circle with a diagonal line through it) then you will drag it to your itunes library there should..you will know it is going to work because the circle symbol will change to two boxes..touching each other (one sketched) then just release the mouse click and it should load into iTunes

..keep an eye on how many songs you have in your iTunes before you add the song, and then after to see if it increases.

also you can add more than one limewire songs by adding all your songs to the "Enqueue" in limewire

and then highlight them all by clicking "Ctrl" + "A" and draging them into iTunes like before try opening limewire and drag your song to itunes before you plug in your ipod it should work if its in an MP3 or 4 format you can e-mail me if you wish i could help you more There are 2 ways to do it

1. Open the limewire folder where the music is held (you know the library) and right click each music file and select open with- Itunes. That%26#39;ll do it.

2. In itunes to file and find the search or open with button... whatever it is and select the music files that way. I suggest moving the music files to a desktop folder first though.

The first way is better but kinda time consuming. Save the file in a specific folder, then in iTunes, import file or folder. The new audio track will appear in iTunes. After it is imported drop the song into playlist or iPod.

How do i transfer songs to my friends ipod without erasing it?

i want to add my songs to his ipod without erasing his ipod

Answers:

OK, what you are going to have to do is plug in your iPod into a computer, once the iPod is recognized, click on it in iTunes. Then you will get a resource page for the iPod. at the bottom there will be boxes you can check, check manually manage music.

This will allow you to choose what goes in and what comes out of your iPod.

Note: You will have to manually place what you want onto the iTunes bar. when ur friend%26#39;s ipod is connected, it should show up itunes and ask you if u want to delete everything, say NO

then when you go to the summary section

check the box that says "manually manage all songs" etc etc.

from then on, you should be able to put anything you want from your itunes to your friend%26#39;s ipod.

but ur friend%26#39;s ipod, everytime he wants to put something on it, he%26#39;ll have to drag and drop the item to his ipod, it won%26#39;t automatically update anymore.

How do i transfer songs to my iPod from another iTunes library?

Ok, so my Computer recently crashed. I am over at my friends house and i have downloaded a few songs to his iTunes that i want to put onto my iPod. How do i do this without erasing my iPod songs. When i plug in my iPod iTunes doesn%26#39;t do anything. It doesn%26#39;t start to sync them (and i don%26#39;t want it to sync them) but i do want these like 12 songs onto my iPod. .how do i do it?

Answers:

Go into the settings on the iTunes account you are transferring songs from (i.e. your friends computer). Make sure the settings are turned to manual settings instead of the automatically sync iPod option. That way it won%26#39;t sync the iPod with the iTunes library.. Then you can manually add or remove whatever songs you want. use idump its a program that allows you transfer song from an ipod to computer. There is another program called EphPod, that allows you to dump songs onto the computer from your iPod. I don%26#39;t know where to get it though, someone gave it to me off a jump drive. As long as His Itunes preferences is not set up to auto sync then you quite simply plug in your I-pod and copy over the music like you would on your own computer. If his is set up to autosync then you%26#39;ll lose all your music, but he can turn that feature off for you. I just came across a site that sends you an iPod for free! I%26#39;m ordering mine right now, going for the black one :)
