Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time.  If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
Before doing anything else,  authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account.  In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
iOS: How to back up
Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc.  For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases.  For all other nonpurchased iTunes content such as music, videos, and photos synced to the device, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different software available to assist you with this task.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier.  Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
If you do happen to lose any purchased content, you can always redownload it from the iTunes Store again at no cost via iCloud.  See this article for information.

    If you look at the feed, and look at the entry 'The end to an exciting field season in Aulavik National Park' you will see the line:
    <pubDateFri, 29 Jul 2011 04:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
    You have not closed the 'pubdate' tag - there should be a '>' as the 9th character. Because the tag has been left open, it invalidates everything which follows it, and thus the entire feed. iTunes therefore cannot read it, which is why the Store has not updated. Add the '>' and republish, and all should be well.
    It's always worth checking your feed by subscribing manually, from the 'Advanced' menu, or by clicking the 'subscribe free' button on the Store page (both do the same thing) - if you can subscribe to the feed it should be OK.

  • TS4062 My daughter's ipod touch 4th Gen cannot sync over wi-fi and cannot be seen in the devices section of itunes for windows.

    My daughter's ipod touch 4th Gen cannot sync over wi-fi and cannot be seen in the devices section of itunes for windows.  I have gone through all steps of the troubleshooting guide.  All of our other ios devices are wi-fi sync-ing fine.   Can anyone help?
    Not sure how long this has been a problem.  Kids are young and I manually manage most things but recently having music synced is an issue.  All software has been kept up to date.

    Hey Xxx_Dank_xxX,
    Have you ever been able to sync your iPod shuffle to iTunes on your computer, or has something recently occurred?  Are you working with a Mac or a PC?   Without knowing what has been recommended to you, I'm going to start here with the basics troubleshooting for this issue.

    the white screen on my ipod touch 4th gen is white with some skiny colored lines can someone help please

    - Try:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try again.
    - If still not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • IPod Touch 4th Generation wont sync with iTunes on Windows 7

    Ok. I am going to make this quick. I just bought a new ipod off amazon from Apple. its a 35Gb 4th Generation ipod touch. I am able to sync my itunes library sometimes. Only SOMETIMES. I have about 1200 song on it now. But evertime i plug my ipod into my PC. iTunes comes up, but freezes up. itunes works fine when the ipod is not connected, but when it is, it freezes up. I can leave it for about 5 minuets and it will unfreeze and i will be able to use itnes, but itunes wont show my ipod is connected. AT ALL. I did the diagnostic, but that freezes up to. Only sometimes will it sync. I updated to the latest version. I think this is either a issue with itunes or the ipod. because my brother has the new nano, and his syncs perfectly fine everytime. Only on my account on windows 7 with MY $300.00 ipod touch will it not work. Anyone help me out here.
    This is what i have done so far:
    Reset ipod via sleep wake and home key while connected < no fix
    Ended any process in the background of windows, that may affect itunes < No fix
    updated to latest itunes version and ipod version < No fix
    That's all i could think of. This evidently is sync issue.
    ANY HELP?

  • My IPod Touch 4th Gen easily syncs videos and photos, but not music

    I should mention that since my last sync I successfully transferred my ITunes Folder to a separate hard drive.
    This went smoothly and all the files made it.
    Since then I have been all through i-Tunes and everything was fine.
    When I synced, tv shows and videos that I added were synced.
    Also new apps from my i-pod were synced with ITunes.
    Then, it synced my photo album.
    The music that was originally on the i-Pod is still on my computer, and the sync check marks were still in place.
    I added a few extra albums too
    But when it synche, it only pulled down one song.
    The PLAYLISTS, ARTISTS, AND ALBUMS were all empty
    I did the process several times and each time it would tell me it's syncing photos, then it would be done.
    It didn't touch my music at all.
    Has anyone else had this experience?
    If so, please assist.
    regards and thanks in advance.

    Additionally, I took note that the ONE song that synced was checked within the LIBRARY list
    and NOT within the music list within the I-Pod Window.
    So, I have manually checked the songs that I want and it appears that the SYNC is happening correctly.
    So my actual question is:  How can I divert control back to the listing within the I-Pod Window (which I'd prefer to use) and let it be the default rather than the whole music Library?

  • IPod Touch (1st Gen) not syncing with iTunes 11.0.4

    I own an iPod touch 1st generation and for some reason it won't sync music properly with the latest version of iTunes. This problem has been going on for about 6 months. I have found some way around it but it involves wiping the iPod entirely and then syncing it with my iTunes. This, however, is a very long process and I want to know if there is a solution. I do understand that this is a very old iPod (c. 2005) but I've had it from new and other than this problem it works perfectly fine and has a decent battery life. I don't really care much for apps I just want to be able to listen to my music on the train without having to fork out for a new iPod or iPhone.

    I would try:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    or

  • A friend gave me his iPod touch 4th gen to update from 4.2.1 to ios6.0.1 I don't want this iPod associated with my account. Just want to have the latest software for him. What should I do?

    I want to update this iPod without losing all of my friends music and apps. What should I do?

    To update
    iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
    A 3G to 5.1.1  Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
    A 4G to 6  Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later
    Identifying iPod models
    Since you are stuck at 4.2.1 you may have a 2G iPod.
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
