Q: manually upload movie on ipod touch 4& 5
HI, recently a frined asked me to put a movie on his ipod 4. I plugged it in to my macbook pro with itunes 11.0.1...and I was able to drag a movie to his ipod without, by selecting the ipod on the itunes left column, the movie tab, and simply drag a movie from a folder onto the itunes window/ipod/movie window, without Synching his ipod to my itunes library... (as it is already Synched with another itunes library).
Now I am trying to replicate what I did, but it does not work, neither with an ipod 4, or ipod 5..
Is it ipossible to copy a movie on the ipod 5, or an ipad for that matter, without having to Sync it to my itunes library?
I was reading another post that mentionned to look into the options of the ipod preferences... but could not find "options" in the prefs of ipod, or pref of itunes/ipod tab...
any idea on how to do this?

You can only sync to one iTunes library/computer. However, yu can manually manage music and videos among different computers/libraries.
Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
