Turn off iTunes Match.

Then backup your hard drive. If you attach an external drive, you can simply turn on Time Machine.

After it is backed up, turn on iTunes Match.

Currently, the original posted does not have music on any computer.

You cannot access the music on the iPod using those instructions.
