Will OS X see the iPod Touch as a storage device that I can just copy/paste the music over w/o going through iTunes?
Hello PluginMonster,
Will OS X see the iPod Touch as a storage device that I can just copy/paste the music over w/o going through iTunes?
No. For more information as to why, see this Apple support document.

How can I sync the ipod touch with windows 7 64 bit
How can I sync the ipod touch with Outlook on windows 7 64 bit?
I'm having the same problem with Windows 7, iTunes has been spotty about recognizing my iPod Touch. Now that I've updates Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 (June 2011), It won't complete a sync or a restore at all on either of my Windows 7 computers.
I have gone through every troubleshooter action recommended by Apple Support, and have not been able to improve the situation at all.
I took my Touch to the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store after trying and failing to complete a restore while troubleshooting, and it restored just fine from a Mac. Unfortunately, it now gives me an error meesage (Incompatible device) half way through an attempted sync, or iTunes simply freezes.
I even tried removing the Windows SP1, but that was a mess, as my display went all whacky and iTunes crashed immediately upon startup.
The Windows 7 OS ***** in general, particularly with compatibility issues, and not just for Apple products.
Does anyone know how to remedy this situation?
I'm so frustrated and have wasted so much time on this issue that I'm going to throw it all out the window!

The other responder gave you a program that will transfer stuff from your iPod to your new computer. You can transfer iTunes purchaces to your new computer by:

After you move your stuff to your new computer you will have to let iTunes erase your iPod and then sync with the stuff that is now in your iTunes library. You will loose app data though. -

Can I sync an iPod Touch that is using a different MobileMe email?
Howdy! I have a MacBook Laptop, with separate user accounts for each family member (ie, the list on the Login Window). We also have a family pack for MobileMe, with separate emails.
I'm getting an iPod touch, and want to set it up with my husband's MobileMe account.
Can I sync the iPod touch to the MacBook while I am logged on to my user account and iTunes? Or does he have to sync under his own log-in account?
I'd like to be able to share the apps that I have already purchased... I know they go to my iPhone and iPad within my MobileMe account just fine, but I wasn't sure if getting another iPod touch with a different email within our Family Pack would be allowed to share the apps.
Thanks for your help!That should work, just don't synch the email account with your account, set it up manually on the iPod Touch.

Can I sync my iPod Touch with my older iPod Nano without a computer?
Keep in mind that you can't drag and drop (transfer) songs from one iPod to another using iTunes either. The music you want to add from one iPod to the other, must be stored in your iTunes library first.

No. You can only sync to one iTunes library. You can however manage music and videos among different computers.

I have a MacBook Pro through my college, and I have all my iCal items on that computer, but I have all my music, apps, etc. on a PC desktop that is my personal home computer. I am wondering if I can sync my iPod touch with my MacBook for the iCal items and also with my PC for the music and such without loosing either of the two when trying to sync with the other computer?

How can I sync my iPod Touch to a new computer?
My Laptop's hard drive died: that's bad enough, but my data was backed up onto my iPod Touch, including some very rare tunes that I can't ever get again. I then installed iTunes onto my wife's desktop, but now I'm told that if I want to sync the iPod, I have to delete everything that's on it as the iPod is already synced to another computer - which now doesn't exist.
I thought that backing up my rare music to my iPod made it safe; it was on my hard drive and my iPod. Now I'm told that if I want to sync my iPod to another computer I have to delete its contents. I can't afford to lose the music, because I can't replace it. Surely this can't be right?
Incidentally, because I can't sync my iPod I have missed at least 2 appointments because my calendar isn't updated.
I understand that Apple are worried about data being copied from one computer to another, but surely there must be a way to register a new computer as one to which I should sync?.This program can rescue your rare music for only US$25: http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
