How can I use a new computer without deleting everything on iPod?

Hey Guys
I need a bit of help.
My old computer died, it was running Windows XP. I've got myself a new computer running Windows 7.
I have a copy of my iTunes folders from my old computer (taken 2 days before it died)
How can I use a new computer without deleting everything on iPod touch?
I've imported all the folders (music, apps etc) into the new computer's iTunes, but when I sync my iPod
I receive a window asking if i want to sync i need to erase and replace with the iTunes library on the computer.
I particularly don't want to do this.
My wife also uses my iTunes for her iPhone.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Backup. Then restore the iPod from that backup and sync as necessary.

If I connect my iPhone to a computer without iTunes and install iTunes then, will I lose anything?

If I connect my iPhone to a computer without iTunes and then install iTunes once my phone is connected, will it wipe my phone clean or can I then backup on to new computer?

If you do not have access to the iTunes Library on your Old computer... or its Backup...

Can You Reset or Restore iPhone without iTunes?

Phone is seriously frozen, Can You Reset or Restore iPhone without iTunes?

I recently had a similar problem, turn the phone off, once off, hold down the home button, until you see a icon of a white usb wire with the words, connect to iTunes.
connect the phone to a usb port on your computer, iTunes will boot up, and the restore process will begin, make certain you are connected to the internet, since, once the process is completed, the phone will require activation, as well as need to download the restore software....

Shuffle not recognized by computer nor itunes

Hello obks1984
Check out the article below to troubleshoot issues with your iPod shuffle not showing up in iTunes. Also make sure that you have the cable plugged in completely to your iPod Shuffle and not just slightly pushed in.

Ipod Shuffle not recognized by computer and iTunes and does not charge

I connected my iPod to my computer but for some reason, it is not recognized at all by the computer nor iTunes. It doesn't charge either. I have tried all the USB ports and since I have Windows Vista, I cannot use the Restore Utility thingy. I purchased my iPod about 2 years ago so a warranty replacement is out of the question. Since any choices have been kicked off, can anyone find a solution to my problem? TYVM pl0x

Time to replace it: $49 2nd Gen shuffle at online Apple Store...

How can I charge Nano 4th Generation without a computer?

I don't have a laptop and when I travel I don't have access to a computer a lot of the time. How can I charge a Nano 4th Generation iPod using an electical outlet. Is there an accessory I need to buy or must I travel with my 3rd Generation iPod? HELP!!!!

Hello stormonyc,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Yes, if no USB ports are availabe you will have to purchase an Apple branded or third party wall charger for it.
Here is a third party one.

Can I connect iPod touch 4 to computer without iTunes or software?

I need to back up a couple videos that are nearly 6 mins and over 6 mins. My own comp needs to be fixed, in the meantime I've tried looking into an online storage solution, but none will let me upload the videos. I was wondering if I could connect my iPod touch 4g to any computer, like I would a digital camera or my Kindle, and be able to access the camera roll for backup purposes, without iTunes or any special software being installed. If not, any suggestions on a website that will allow me to upload the videos (not You Tube) from mobile safari?

Thanks for the link, it enabled me to view the camera roll and copy over some things.
But now I have another problem, the computer I was using froze up and the program was ended. Then the computer was detecting the iPod but said there was no pictures??!!
But on my iPod itself, I have the camera roll opened and am able to play the videos and view pics. I'm now afraid to close the photos app because my vids and pics will be gone! I don't know what to do and am feeling sick to my stomach because the vids that I really wanted were not copied over yet, as that's when the computer froze.
Do you know if that means they're gone from my iPod with no way to get them (as I haven't been able to do a proper backup since my laptop needs fixed)??

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

Connecting to computer without iTunes

My desktop (the one with iTunes) recently got a bad virus. My iPod Classic desperately needs recharging.
So, stupid question: can I connect to my laptop without deleting my music or downloading iTunes to it?

Hello Zar'roc and Thorn,
There should be no problems hooking your iPod up to your laptop to let it charge. iTunes may tell you that you will need to "Erase and Sync", "Transfer Purchases", or Cancel. So go ahead and hit Cancel and everything should be Ok and your iPod should charge.
Hope this helps.

I can't sync iPhone with computer because iTunes won't display the device menu option anymore

The device menu won't appear across the top of iTunes - its as if my iPhone 5 is invisible. This is a sudden surprise after syncing my iPad yesterday. Help?!

You can only sync to one computer at a time.
Before attempting to sync-are you logged in as the same user as the old iTunes, can you select transfer purchases when right click on iPhone icon?

Can't import songs from computer to itunes!

I am unable to add music files to my itunes library. If I click the 'add file to folder', i get the message that the file is not in the wma format and will be converted by itunes. but nothing happens, and the file isn't added. i've alternatively tried dragging files into itunes, but i just cannot seem to add music to my itunes library unless by importing using audio cds.
Most of the songs are ones I have saved in my music folder, or else burned from a cd onto a different computer and i've saved them onto this computer. but itunes wont recognize them. thanks for your help!

On the new laptop, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.
