How can a sync my iPod touch with a different computer?
Hi I have an iPod touch, and I recently got a new laptop. I have put all the music and films from my old computer onto my new laptop and imported it to iTunes. I want to use my laptop as the one I sync my iPod with, but it says it will erase everything on my iPod. I’m OK with it erasing my music and films, I can just put them back on, but will it erase my apps? If so how do I put them on my laptop?
Thanks.

If you directly click sync, it will erase all non-purchased music on your iPod and replace with the content of this new iTunes library.
But here is a solution. All you need is to get all existing music/videos from your iPod to this new computer and iTunes. Simply use this popular program called Tansee iPod Transfer

The whole process is easy and safe.
With just a few simple clicks, it will help you copy all videos/songs from iPod back to your selected folder on the new computer, and then you can easily add those songs back to iTunes.
More importantly, this won’t overwrite any original files on your iPod. And all song names are preserved.
In this case, all songs/videos (both new and old) are on your iTunes library that you can sync with whenever you wish to without deleting any files.
It even has step-by-step guide on the whole process:

hey luke,
if you are jailbroken i believe there is an app on cydia called swaptunes, you can sync with another pc if you have this downloaded. hope this helps =)
An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. once you got a new iTunes library or a new computer. You have to authorize your iPod to it at first, then you can upload music and video from the new iTunes to your iPod. But this way will overwrite the originial files on iPod with the new iTunes. You may try this iPod transfer, it can help you copy files from iPod to computer for backup, you can also use it as an iTunes alternative to upload music and video. It will not erase your original iPod files. It’s safe and works pretty well for me. Hope it helps. Contact me if you have any other question.
