I have two computers with iTunes. All the music from Computer 1 has been downloaded to my iPod. I would like to download all that music onto Computer 2. However, Computer 2 has newer music on it that is not on my iPod/Computer 1. I can't figure out how to get the music from my iPod onto Computer 2 without erasing the new music. Suggestions? Thanks.

PS: Both of computers are on Mac OS.

The music on computer 2 won't be erased but the music on the iPod will be erased. If this music was purchased through iTunes and all through the same Apple ID then they can be downloaded onto the computer through the iTunes store. For non-protected music on computer 1 you can just make a back up copy cd then load that cd onto computer 2. For any protected music you would need to make certain it was purchased through the same Apple ID and that computer 2 is an authorized computer under that Apple ID.
Know more about how to transfer or backup music from iPod to Mac, which included the detailed tutorials of how to transfer or backup your music from iPod to Mac.
Best wishes.

Go into your itunes folder where your music is stored, copy it to a flash drive, and plug it into computer 2. Then copy the music from the flash drive into the itunes folder with your music in it. Then go to itunes and go to the top left and click on the apple symbol and go to add folder. Pick the folder with all the music in it and it will import all of it and convert it if it needs converting.5.
Can a flash player be installed at IPAD2? Where can I buy original applications for my IPAD without jail breaking my IPAD.
