Can i sync my ipod on two different laptops?

My old lap died and I want to sync ipod to a different laptop that I use this a different ipod, ipad and iphone. I don't want to delete the contents of this ipod to do this. Any advice appreciated.

If you have a backup of your dead laptop's data, copy the contents of its iTunes Library into the iTunes Library of your "different" laptop.
Otherwise, you can take a look at tools like Senuti to transfer your media from your ipod to the "different" laptop. There are many other useful tools like Senuti; some work just as well and are even free.

You can sync with onee at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

I want to buy some songs from a HK Apple ID and a JP Apple ID.
I just hope the songs of two Apple ID can appear in one iPhone.

Are you currently in Japan or Hong Kong ? You have to be in a country (and have a billing address in that country on your account) to buy or download from its store, that is included in the store's terms.
You can sync content from different accounts from your computer's iTunes library.

Can I sync my iPod to a different computer WITHOUT losing all of my music?

Can I sync my iPod to a different computer WITHOUT losing all of my music?

Yes. Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time, meaning that when you try to sync it with a new library, it will erase everything that is currently on the iPod and replace it with what is in the new library.
So the first thing you are going to want to do is copy everything from your iPod back to your PC first using one of the methods described in this older post from another forum member Zevoneer.

How can I sync my Ipod on 2 different computers, one a macbook the other a PC laptop

Ive been syncing my ipod with my Macbook. I would like to be able to sync it with my new Laptop PC (windows 7) also. At the moment, there is a wifi network in my home. This will change eventually as I will be moving. How can I sync with both without losing my data?

iPods and other iOS devices can only sync to one iTunes library at a time. It is not possible to sync to two.
Hope that helps.

How can i use my iPod on two different computers?

I recently bought a new laptop and i plugged in my ipod shuffle but i cant add any new music to it because it was originally set up on my old laptop. Unlike other ipods, when i plug it back into the old laptop, there is no box to check like "Manually manage" or whatver. Is there any way for me to set up my ipod on my new laptop without restoring it to its original settings and losing all the other music?

If there is no Manually manage music setting, it must be a 1st or 2nd shuffle, not a 3rd or (current) 4th gen shuffle. The older shuffles act like simple playlists. You can only associate that shuffle with ONE iTunes library at a time (just as a regular playlist in iTunes belongs only to one iTunes library).
So, the answer is no. However, you can put the songs on the shuffle currently into the new computer's iTunes library, then sync the shuffle to that library.
For songs that you purchased from the iTunes Store, you can re-download them on the iTunes Store Purchased screen. You can also use iTunes to transfer songs you purchased from iPod to computer.
For other songs, you cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer. But there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your new computer, add them to the iTunes library by dragging the them (or the folder containing the song files) to the iTunes window. After confirming everything is there, you can sync the shuffle to the new computer's iTunes library.

Can i sync my ipod to a different itunes account?

I have an approximately 7 year old ipod with lots of tunes. Originally it was synced to an old desktop which has been scrapped. I now have an ipad 2 and my husband has ordered the iphone4S. We want to get the tunes from our old ipod and have them on the ipad and iphone. Any advice on how to do this? I have a Windows laptop.
Cheers,

Can I Sync My iPod on Two Computers?

I have two computers (Windows) with my account. My main one has a USB issue, so I upgraded to iOS5 on the other. Is there still a way to wirelessly sync to my main computer? My iPod is looking for the secondary computer and thus is not seeing my main one. Thanks!

Is there at least a way to change which computer it syncs with without a USB cable. I figured with iOS 5 and iCloud I could sync to my laptop wirelessly, but I guess it doesn't work if the music I have isn't from iTunes. (Most of mine is, so that's good, but not all.)

Can I sync my Q10 to two different pc's?

I have successfully synced my Q10 to my home PC using "Blackberry Link". I now want to sync it with my new work PC, to move the contacts from phone to the PC.
Both PC's are running MS Outlook.
How can I do this?
NB, when I try to connect the Q10 to the work PC, it knocks out the wireless internet connection and corporate messenger (Microsoft Lync), not sure if this is related.

Try changing the setting on the second PC to one-way. Sync.
And then revert the settings back to two way.

I have no clue what you're talking about. Perhaps you can rephrase with correct spelling and real sentences that include initial caps and periods and other grammatical niceties.

Can I sync my iPod to new Vista laptop without loosing all my tunes?

When I attached my i-pod to my new laptop, I got the "sync'ed to another computer message. Is there a way to import my tunes library (drag & drop?) Import from an external drive? I have tried both and the new iTunes does not seem to find the old music files.
Thanks in advance for any advice,
DELL XPS M1210 Windows Vista

Yes, it can be done. Vista is set up differently. XP was set up as "Administrator" and "My Music". Vista has taken away the "My" and uses "Owner", etc. Anyway, if by connecting your iPod to the new computer it completely synced it and your iPod is empty...there really is no easy way to get it back other than starting over. If iTunes lists your music but says it can't be found...all you need to do is reassociate every song with the new path. For example: C:/Users/Owner/Music and then whatever folder you may have it in.
Hope this helps some?
