New iTunes for old iPod. HELP?

so my sister got an iPod mini 2nd generation and put her songs on there through her iTunes on her computer. She gave the iPod mini to me. Now I want to put my songs from my iTunes on the iPod but every time I try to "sync iPod" it keeps her songs on there. it does not put my songs on there. is there any way that I can put my songs on there by using a new iTunes on a different computer than the original??
PLEASE HELP!!!
Dell Windows XP

That is correct, a simple Restore will fix the problem.
Also, I think your sister might have an iPod nano.

I hope this helps!

I have a new computer, and I downloaded a new iTunes for my iPod, but it only transferred my Purchased Songs to my Library, not the other mp3s. Now when I go to add more mp3s and sync, it will add it to my Library, but not my iPod itself... What happened?

I want to add more songs, but I cannot figure out how to sync my iPod to actually transfer my mp3s. I had done it before, which is how I have most of my songs, but I don't know what I can do without totally erasing everyhing and starting over... Which I don't want to do, because I have a new computer and no old files. I'll have to do that if worst comes to worst, I guess. Hoping there's some other way around it.

You can only synce an iPod to one iTunes Library/one computer. However, you can manage music among different computer . see:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
If you want to transfer non-iTunes purchased music from an iPod to a computer other than the one you synced the music from you need to use a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

It has the error range of 3000's which states
Errors 3000-3999 (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an old version of iTunes is installed, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see error 1004 above), or because of your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues. Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again. Error 3194 most likely indicates you do not have the latest version of iTunes installed Update to the latest version of iTunes.

Hi Becki ..
You need to "authorize" the Mac.
Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.

By "charger," do you mean a USB power adapter that plugs into the wall outlet (used to "charge" the iPod), or are you asking about the USB docking cable that connect the iPod to the computer?

I would recommend taking a look at the information found in the articles below. The first two articles have the same content, but are geared towards either OS X or Windows.

Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Then try restoring on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

X Mavericks iTunes makes old iPod die

I have an old ipod that is awesome becuase it has no built in redundancies and always works. Since the exact time I downloaded the new Mavericks system two weeks ago and connected my ipod to the new itunes for update my ipod now regularly (a few times daily) dies - stops working in the middle of a song - just turns off. I have to manually restart my ipod in the dock. Anyone else having this issue? So evil I think they may have thrown in a redundancy in my ipod to force me to buy a new one..

Using iTunes For Multiple iPod's

Hey,
Anyone know how to use iTunes for two iPod's without the songs being erased and all that ...kind of like having two seperate library folders.
Thanks In Advance,

Well there are two way to go about this.
Number 1. Having seperate windows accounts, with iTunes on both, will give you seperate libraries.
Number 2. Set both iPods to update Automatically but to only the playlists you select. This will keep your playlists on it and whatever you don't want on there off. Same goes for the other iPod.
I myself use the number 2 option for my iPod Video and my Moms Nano. The only thind you got to remember, if you plan on updating or if you added new music and want it on your iPod, is to select the new playlist you made. This options works great

Hello!
If you refer to an App. and it doesn't appears on Springboard, you can reboot your iPod. If it not solve the problem, Reboot your iPod from Hardware (Press and keep presing Sleep/Wake button and Home button for about ten seconds until Apple logo appears). It might solve the problem. If not, Sync your iPod on iTunes, it may appears.
You can redownload your App on "purchased" section from iTunes App, it should say "Installed"
Hope this solves your problem

If I purchased music on itunes for my ipod do I have to purchase them again for my iphone?

I have purchased itunes for my ipod and I wanted to download them on my iphone. I was able to download them but it charged me again for the same ones. Can download them on iphone without being charged agiab?

Hi,
Firstly make sure you have iOS 5.0 or above on your iPhone.
Then make sure the iPhone is using that same account that you have purchased those song with.
To do this go to Settings > Store and check the email address at the bottom of the screen.
If you have all these ok, then just open the iTunes app and select the "purchased" category at the bottom of the screen and you will be given the fully list of all your purchased music ready for you to redownload without being charged.
(when a song is selected you are given an option to "download the full album" if you have purchased it already)
Hope this helps.

I have bought music on itunes for my ipod can i copy them to my ipod nano

How can you copy music bought on itunes for my ipod onto a new ipod nano that i have bought

Open iTunes and plug in your iPod. On the left sidebar there should be your iPod name (If you can't find the sidebar, go to iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar), go to your iTunes playlist and drag the songs you want to your iPod. For all of the songs, go to your iPod music library, even if you don't have songs, and on the bottom there should be a blue-ish bar. There might be a box saying "Autofill from iTunes library" click that ONLY if you want ALL songs from your iTunes to your iPod.
