I bought a song on the wifi music store and when I plugged in my iPod touch, it didn't sync it over to my iTunes account. I am using "manually manage music" so how do I get that song over to my iTunes without deleting all my music on my iPod?
 
There is an option under File I believe called Retrieved Purchased Music From 'Insert Name's iPod.

It took me a while to figure it out too.

Thanks! I can't believe I didn't check there! Also, after the song transfered over to my iTunes, it randomly started downloading an episode of Ugly Betty...weird..I've never searched for that in my life...:D
 
Really? That's bizzare...

I would check your bill just incase. It's somewhere in your user info section. Just to save you some surprise if you accidently bought that ep by mistake :p

Nope, I checked my purchase history and it does show "Ugly Betty video clip" but I guess it was free...Weird because I didn't authorize the download..Oh well, no harm, no foul..
 
I know this post is old, but why isn't this an automated feature? It would really suck to lose your Touch or iPhone and then not have the music...

Just seems like it would be in the standard sync.

It is. The only reason it doesn't do it here, is because the OP did not have iTunes set to automatically sync upon connection to iPod.
