Updating your iPod won't erase the files in a computer.  If you have your iPod set to automatically update or sync with the computer you connect it to then you will erase the music on you iPod and replace it with the music from the new computer.\n\nYou need to change the settings for how you update your ipod.  Connect you iPod to the computer that has all your current music.\nIn iTunes click on edit and chose preferences from the drop down menu click on the iPod tab. There should be an option to manually update your iPod.  You want to select that option.\n\nThis will prevent any music being erase from your iPod when you connect it to another computer.

If your music is already on your new computer, you need to "Authorize" it in iTunes.\nIf you are looking for the quickest and cheapest ways to copy things between 2 computers, just use a "Crossover" Ethernet cable to connect them and make a local network.

i just started using an iPod, but from what i saw you can name the iPod, you should be able to select the ipod you want and drag and drop all the music you want from your music folder to the iPod.

There are various online music stores such as the iTunes music store or Yahoo! music. You can get legal music from there and use their programs to manage your music on your computer, like iTunes. From without that program you can buy music and transfer it to various devices, such as an iPod.

when your ipod is connected, open the folder of your ipod in "my computer". then, on top, click tools > folder options > View > Hidden files and folders > show hidden file and folders. you will see a new folder named iPod_Control. open it and your music is in the Music folder. be careful not to modify the other folders. take note that your music in the Music folder is not organized and is scattered over a number of folders.  You should be able to drag and drop from there.

Actually, it's not illegal if it's music that you paid for, or if it's music that came from your own CD collection.  It simply is not a function that is supported by Apple.\n\nThere are a number of third party software programs that will allow you to "rescue" your music from your ipod and put it back on your computer.  Do a google search on "transfer music ipod", and you should find the link you are looking for within the first page of results.  Good luck!

The other computer has to have iTunes installed on it and set to manual in order to do this. If the other computer has set to automatic then it will add every song that is on the other computer automatically and delete songs that is already on the Ipod when you connect the iPod. \nIf the other computer dosen't have Itunes installed simply burn a Data cd of the tunes that you want and install them on your computer later and you will be good to go.

Just make sure that when you plug your iPod into the 2nd computer, do NOT let iTunes run an automatic update.  BE sure to cancel it, then, right click your iPod in the bar on the left and select "iPod Options...".  Then click "Manually Update Songs and Playlists" until your computer is fixed.  In this mode, you add songs by dragging them from your library to the iPod in the bar on the left, and delete songs by highlighting them in the iPod on the bar on the left and clicking the delete button.

If you have a Windows machine, simply plug in your IPod, find it listed in Windows Explorer, and make sure your machine can view hidden files.\n\nOpen the 'IPod_Control' folder and copy the 'My_Music' folder to your PC. Import those tracks into ITunes and put them in order there. Select Edit, Preferences, and choose the Advanced tab. Select a location for your music library by clicking the Change button, and then check Keep iTunes Music folder organized.\n\nUtilities such as the $15 IPodRip--available for PCs and Macs from The Little App Factory--can help automate this process.\n\nLittle App Factory: http://www.thelittleappfactory.com/

dont listen to the poster who said the ipods are copyrighted. that is wrong.\n\nbasically, i got a new laptop recently, and transferred my music this way:\n\nattach ipod via usb to old laptop. open ipod settings. click box for 'use ipod as a disc drive'.\n\nyou can then click on 'my computer', and will be able to drag and drop your music files onto the ipod, then attach it to the new laptop and drag and drop them into a file of your choice on there.\n\nits easier to transfer all music files if you empty the actual ipod of your current music first, as it frees up the space to transfer most of them at once - if not, you have to do it a few times over as the music already stored is taking up the room.\n\ni hope this has helped.

Cnet has an article on how to do just that:\n\nLet's say you have one computer and two iPods. It's easy enough to synchronize both iPods with just one computer, as long as both iPod users are happy accessing the same music library or the same set of playlists. But that can get hard to manage, especially if you're manually updating the iPod or adding new music that you'd like to keep separate.\n\nIn most cases, the easiest way to keep discrete libraries for syncing both iPods is to create a separate user account for each person who uses an iPod with the computer. The Insider Secrets video shows the steps for doing this using Mac OS X; here's how to create a separate user and share music under Windows XP.\n\nFirst, click Start > Control Panel > User Accounts (Start > Settings > Control Panel if you use the Classic view). Click "Create a new account," and follow the instructions.\n\nWindows XP kindly provides a shared folder that already includes a directory called Shared Music (find it under C:&#92;Documents and Settings&#92;All Users&#92;Documents). The easiest thing to do is to copy all the music on your computer into this folder so that all users can access it. Then the lucky owner of the new iPod can pick and choose what music to include in his or her iTunes Library. From the new account, in iTunes, click File > Add Folder To Library, and copy over whatever music you want (make sure to check the box next to "Copy files to iTunes music folder" when adding to library, under Advanced in the Preferences dialog box, so that iTunes doesn't consolidate the files for the music library).\n\nNow both users can share all or part of the same library, add new music whenever necessary, and automatically update their iPods without the hassle of manually sifting through a large shared library.\n\nMore at Cnet, http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-10165_7-5503617-1.html

Well, first, is your song library in iTunes already? If it is, then hook up your iPod and when it loads and appears in the column on the left hand side of the screen, drag the item called Library (also in the left hand column of iTunes) onto the icon labeled your iPod. (whatever name it has). If your library is in another program, then install iTunes. When you load it up, it will ask you if you want to search your computer for other music you already have. Click yes, then the option that will say My Computer or My Music or something like that. (its been a long time since i did that, so please excuse any mistake.) it will automatically search for music and add it to your iTunes library. then repeat what i told you first to get it to your iPod.
