Anyone Good with Ipods?

Ok.. I have 3 computers that I have music on..

I installed my ipod on computer one.. It sync'd up with all the songs that were in the library on that comptuer. Then I went to work, and I wanted to put all the music I had on that machine on my ipod, so I installed it on that system.. Well I found out that when I did that, it deleted all the music I previously had on the ipod, and uploaded all the music on the work computer.

How can I easily put all the music from all 3 computers on this ipod?

😀 thanks
 
There should be a setting somewhere in iTunes (might only be able to find it when the iPod is connected) that sets iTunes up to auto-load all music in the iTunes library upon connection. Which, of course, means deleting whatever is already on there and replacing it. Turning that preference off should solve your problem and allow you to connect to all three computers and put music from all three on the iPod.

To transfer the music back off the iPod onto a computer other than the one you originally got it from, however, gets trickier, and you'll need some third-party program to do it. There are a bunch out there, though I've never used one so can't recommend one for you.
 
Ya it just automatically does stuff. All Mac's do this, and All Apple software. Thats what I hate about it, its supposed to be all easy and do things for you. When all it does for people like me is drive us insane.

I remember when iTunes wanted to move all my music around into one giant folder. This would have wreaked havoc on my machine.

Windows Explorer does a good job at it. (Just turn on hidden folders.)
or ephpod (their website was hacked and is no longer working, but for download locations search google).

you realize you can turn all those options off right? RTFM ain't just an acronym.
