How do i put songs on my ipod from a different computer without having to sync it?

Question

How do i put songs on my ipod from a different computer without having to sync it?

Answer 1

itunes wont be able to do that, since it allows syncing just one way (pc to ipod). you need a 3rd party software to transfer from ipod to pc. i use imtoo ipod computer transfer, works real well. and i was able to salvage my ipod contents when my computer crashed! real lifesaver :) highly recommended.

hope this helps! goodluck. http://www.imtoo.com/ipod-computer-transfer.html

Answer 2

>> Sick of iTunes limitations?



>> I believe iTunes is a fantastic piece of software,but there are certain limitations that makes it slightly irritating.Just like the issue you encountered.



>> To avoid iTunes' annoying syncing and losing all my songs,【iPod Computer Transfer】http://is.gd/5U1jU allows me to transfer songs from other computers to my iPod,without iTunes running.



>> It's absolutely an awesome iTunes alternative.

Answer 3

no. whatever is in the itunes, would override the contents of your ipod. it's just one way, though i think you can "manually manage music"

though you could try another software, imtoo ipod computer transfer, works real well. i was able to salvage my ipod contents when my computer crashed! real lifesaver :) highly recommended.

hope this helps! goodluck.

Answer 5

Lol here's what Im copying and pasting to tons of people who have the exact same problem as you are.



*an iPod is just like a storage device - kinda like a USB. so all ur music/videos are in there but hidden -- all u need to do is unhide them



*before continuing-make sure u have iTunes ;)



*now just follow these steps:



1) connect ur iPod to ur PC/laptop

2) when iTunes opens up - DON'T CHOOSE THE "erase + sync" option. if iTunes didn't open don't worry



3) anyways go to My Computer > Apple iPod (disk) or whatever u named it (my iPod)



4) open it, and open the folder called "iPod_Control".

if its not their - then go to the Adress bar and type this:



iPod_Control



5) it will open and ull find folders called tones,gamestats, or whatever. now right-click in any space and un-check the HIDDEN option..

> "apply changes to this folder, subfoler, and files"



6) then ull see many more folders, including "MUSIC"

if its not there, then type in the Adress Bar:



Music



7) when u opened that folder, ull c other folders called "F-08"/"F-14"/etc.

if they're not there, then right-click in any space and un-check the "HIDDEN" option..



8) then there are all the folders with your music and videos! don't worry if the names are "DHSJ" or "FJDS"....



9) all u need to do know is copy eeeeeeeeeeverything into ANOTHER folder on ur desktop or anywhere u want in ur laptop/pc



10) open iTunes, and drag all ur songs/videos FROM THE FOLDER U CREATED ON UR DESKTOP OR ANYWHERE ELSE in the iTunes library. there names will come back!



11) then just sync ur iPod!



GOOD LUCK! E-MAIL ME IF U HAVE ANY QUESTIONS!

Answer 9

I dont think its possible. your songs will erase!

Answer 10

Yes, if you directly click sync, it will erase all music on the iPod and replace with the content of your iTunes library.

But here is a solution. All you need is to get all existing music/videos from the iPod onto your computer and iTunes. Simply use this popular program called Tansee iPod Transfer

http://www.gutensoft.com/Utilities/Tansee-iPod-Transfer.htm

The whole process is easy and safe.



With just a few simple clicks, it will help you copy all videos/songs from iPod back to your selected folder on your computer, and then you can easily add those songs back to iTunes. See detailed guide.

More importantly, this won't overwrite any original files on the iPod. And all song names are preserved.



In this case, all songs/videos (both new and old) are on your iTunes library that you can syn with whenever you wish to without deleting any files.

Here is step-by-step guide on the whole process:

Answer 11

You may try this ipod transfer, it's a nice iTunes alternative that can help you manage iPod files including delete, upload, play, copy, etc. It's much easier to use than iTunes. It can also help you manage multiple iPods on one computer or manage iPod on multiple computers, even copy music and video from iPod back to computer or iTunes. So you will not lose your iPod files even though you switch to a new iTunes library. My friends recommend it to me, it works pretty well.
