Ive currently go a problem with my iTunes software and when trying to add new songs to my iPod.

Ive got songs on my iPod and when i want to add new songs and i connect my iPod a message appeared that all songs will be erased from library to add new ones. I clicked on cancel but i cant then add new songs.

I connected my iPod again and i thought i would restore it and then add the songs, but when i connect the iPod and try to click on restore in iTunes, the iPod gets disconnected from iTunes and the message on the iPod comes up as disconnecting and it isnt then connected to the comp or iTunes.

Why am i not able to connect and restore my iPod or even add new songs to my iPod without having to erase the ones on my iPod, it doesn't matter if their not ion the liabray or not! Or do they have to be in the liabrary when i add new songs too?

Im confused someone help me solve this problem!

If you connect an iPOD to a new computer, the library goes out of sync. Did this happen to you?

If not, you could do the following (only if you have all the songs on iPOD on disk as well):

a) Start iTunes
b) Delete the existing library
c) Build a new library
d) Connect the iPOD
e) When it gives a warning about current songs being lost, click OK.
f) New library will be loaded to iPOD and all songs will be restored.

You can try reseting the iPOD. Sometimes that may work.

Also try uninstall and re-install of iTunes software.

When syncing i-pod and i-tunes the songs that are not in your i tunes but are present in your ipods may be erased

ok i tried unsuccessfully to simulate the problem on mine ...... But try this

-->Unplug your Pod

-->Like Jay said uninstall and reinstall itunes


Carefully follow the next 2 steps

-->Plug your pod now . It ll ask u whether u want to erase and sync ... click Erase and Sync

--> As it is erasing and syncing, immediately go to the Music tab of the iPod and uncheck Sync Music. Then go to the Summary tab and check Enable disk use. Click Apply. What this will do is keep your iPod connected to the PC to use as disk storage. You must use the Safely Remove Hardware utility found on the System Tray to eject your iPod now. Advantage is that you can sync what you want onto the iPod.
