I have my friend's iPod and what I'm trying to do is to get all the music to sync to my iTunes without deleting is songs on his iPod. Any help please??
Can't you just hit "Cancel" when iTunes asks if you want to erase his music and sync it with your library? From there, you should be able to choose manually manage music and drag your music onto the iPod in addition to his.
You can't just drag music onto an iPod it has to be synced with either iTunes or something like gtk pod on linux. You could enable disc use but you might as well as kept the music on a usb thumb drive as you can't play it with out syncing with iTunes.
Long story short, I have several iPods (I repair them as a hobby) ranging from a 1st gen 5GB to a 160GB iPod classic and you can, in fact, drag music DIRECTLY to the iPod (within iTunes), AND PLAY it on the iPod. At least you can with a Windows formatted iPod, but I don't see how a Mac format would make it any different. You need to enable "Manually Manage Music" for the iPod in iTunes. The setting is right above Enable Disk Use. I have a folder of songs from a previous computer of about 750 songs (in addition to iTunes libraries on different PCs; this is more of an archive) and every iPod I have, I literally just drag the folder to the iPod in iTunes (doesn't need to be added to the iTunes library first or anything) and iTunes will sync it to the iPod. Now, with manually managing music, you will lose the auto-sync feature, but it's the only way to reasonably add music from PCs outside of the host PC.
you can't place the songs from your friend's iPod to your iTunes because iTunes doesn't work this way.
you will need to copy songs manually if you want to get them so much.
I think you misunderstood what the op wanted to do 'ait?
You can't just snatch music from anyones iPod to your iTunes just like that. Thats the whole idea with preventing people from stealing music ok?
