How to Transfer Music from PC Mac Computer to iPod touch

This happens some times the computer has lost the record that the ipod was synced with this computer.

Because the ipod can only be synced with one computer at a time your are getting this message.

if you look in your itunes music library and all the muisc is still there then choose the "erase and sync option" this will erase the ipod and re- sync with this computer -

if your muisc is gone you have a much larger problem you need to search your computer for your missing music then add it back to itune when you find it by :

In itunes you go to the upper left to : File > add Folder to Library > and choose the folder the music is in this will re- add your music to the libray then you can " "erase and sync"

If all you music is gone off your computer a only on your ipod your going to have to download a free ipod rip program to remove all you muisc and put it back into your library. there are free ones you can downalod but they are hard to find I have used www.ipodrescue.com and it worked for me

good luck !

download the latest version of itunes . after the installation of itunes connect your ipod touch using the usb dongle that comes with it. itunes will try to sync on your ipod touch. now click on itunes store then login using your existing account. if you still dont have an account you need to create one first.

once logged in on itunes store you can now select any apps that you want to download on your ipod touch (free/non free)

on your ipod touch you can also click on the app store icon and download. just make sure you that you are connected to the internet.

hope this helps . . .

The first thing that you should do is download itunes from the apple website at www.apple.com/itunes once installed open up itunes and then plug in the supplied usb cable into the ipod and the other end into your computer. From itunes you can then go onto the apple store and buy music from the store or if you have music on CDs you can use itunes to pull the CDs onto your computer and from itunes and clicking on the devices section you can transfer the music onto your ipod. Hope this helps.

When you plug it in to your computer, you should see an option in iTunes to synchronize it with your current library. Press "Yes" and the existing music will be erased.
You should be able to turn it off by holding down the "Play" button and turn it on by pressing the "Play" button.
If this fails, you can restart the device by holding the "Menu" and "Select" buttons for 6-10 seconds until it restarts.

You should install iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Then plug in the MP3 player, and once iTunes finds the device, add music to it from the library you already have, or by purchasing music from the Itunes Music Store.

Download, install and use the program Itunes.

You can download it from here:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/

Follow the instructions and you will be fine

Good luck

Go to itunes and click on a song that you want to delete and press the delete button on your keyboard and it will ask you if you are sure you want to delete this song from all playlists and off the ipod and click yes and it will delete. Unfortunately, it will not let you delete it from the ipod menu without connecting it to a computer.

Connect your ipod, refuse the delete and sync. Make sure you get rid of all the sync options and check 'Manually manage music and videos'. Click on music, search for what you want and drag and drop onto iPod icon.
