It is a good idea to go through the Apple iPod support guide made available online, before you begin using the software. To summarize, by selecting the option of manually managing music and stopping automatic sync, which is initiated by default, you can use any computer with an iTunes installation to transfer music to your iPod.
This way, you can selectively transfer music and videos from multiple libraries of iTunes. Once you are done, remove the device and disconnect it from the computer. Now, you can simply drag and drop the videos from this computer’s iTunes library to the device, to transfer them. With that, the automatic syncing will be effectively disabled.
Under the tab, select the check box at the very bottom, saying ‘ Manually Manage Music and Videos‘ and then click on the ‘Apply’ button. Step 3: Choose Manual Syncing of Music and VideosĬlick on your device icon, listed on the left hand side of the iTunes interface. Choose ‘Cancel’ option instead and then modify the iTunes settings as instructed further.
Selecting the second option would be folly, as it will erase all the data on the iPod and sync it with existing data on the computer. It will provide you with three possible future courses of action – ‘ Cancel‘, ‘ Erase and Sync‘ and ‘ Transfer Purchases‘. You are bound to get a message informing you that the iPod is synced with another library and content stored on it, doesn’t match with the iTunes library on this computer. Automatically, iTunes will detect the device and add it. Next, connect your iPod with the computer using the connection cable. If the existing version is old, get the latest updated version downloaded and installed. Switch on the second computer and open the iTunes application installed on it. I assume that your iPod has been synced with your home desktop or laptop computer and you are looking for instructions on how to sync it with another computer. In fact, you can sync your iPod with multiple computers, without getting your existing iPod data being erased due to automatic syncing. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t transfer stuff using another computer.
