I put my iTunes software on the computer at my parent's house, and now I can't figure out how to add songs on my iPod on my computer at university. It always deletes all of the songs that I used to have on! Is there any way to add songs on from both computers without losing the songs put on from the other computer? Thanks for your help!

In iTunes, there is an option that asks if you want to automatically synch your iPod. You must UNCHECK this option on both computers. If you leave it checked, it means that you are telling your home computer to re-write the hard drive on your iPod, and make an exact copy of its music library onto your iPod. Then when you take it to your parent's computer, THAT computer thinks IT is supposed to make an exact duplicate of ITS library onto your iPod, so it erases the files that came from your home computer and puts the music library from your parent's computer there instead. As you switch back and forth, you keep erasing everything on your iPod each time. By unchecking the synch option on both computers, you will be able to copy whatever files you want from either computer onto your iPod.

copy the originial iTunes library to a CD. take the cd to the other computer and replace the iTunes library folder that is on that computer. it should allow you to use the iPod on your other computer without deleting it.
