Can't get ipod touch to sync manually!

I have a new 16 gig ipod touch, which I'd like to sync with content on both my home and work computers. I have an iMac G5 at home (running 10.5) and a Macbook at work (running 10.4.10). I also have the latest version of itunes on both machines.
I've synced with all of my music from my HOME computer, but when I try to sync with just the video content from my WORK computer (I have 2 season's worth of The Office that I bought from the itunes store on it!), I get a message that "All existing songs, movies and TV shows will be removed from your ipod and replaced with TV shows from your iTunes library." I can't seem to get it to manually update any content, even with the "Manually Manage Music and Videos" box checked!
What gives? Thanks in advance for any help...

Someone correct me if I am wrong... But I believe you can only have one computer as the "Home" for an iPod (touch or otherwise).
If you want to get the videos off of your work computer, I would burn them on a CD (or if you have a portable HDD.. copy them there) then copy them to your home computer add them to your library on your home computer iTunes and sync.

  • Can't get iPod touch to appear in iTunes 10.1.1 ?

    We have followed the trouble shooting pages suggestions - uninstalling & reinstalling iTunes 10.1.1 but still no joy getting new iPod touch 64GB version to appear in iTunes ? If you can help with any advice please

    Try this, go to your devices and printers, and see if the ipod is showing there, right click on it and go to prefences or wherever you can see if the driver has been installed correctly. I had the same problem and when i looked and re installed the driver, my computer made a click and it was working perfectly. Hope this helps.

  • Wifi Problem - can't get iPod Touch to connect to Internet

    I've seen lots of posts and discussions around this issue but cannot seem to nail down a solution. I have no security or encryption whatsoever with my wireless router & network. Other devices can connect wirelessly with no problem but my iPod Touch, although it shows that it is connected to my wireless network with all the proper DNS settings, it cannot access the internet. Of course, none of the wifi-based apps will work as a result.
    Based on what I've deduced so far, I think the issue is that my brand new iPod Touch does not like my older Linksys WRK54G wireless router. That said, my brother's newer iPhone picked up my wireless network fine recently??
    Does anyone have any advice? Thanks.

    I have read all the posts and did all the numerous solutions/suggestions for 2 days now and what worked for me is this:
    I went to Dlink online and went to Wireless connection settings to change the SSID name as if I am using my router for the first time, then changed it to WPA 20 characters! then saved the settings. Do this on the original PC (in my case, a desktop linked to the router via Ethernet cable as I have 2 laptops running
    from that router as well. Note, before doing the "Save the settings"
    above, I reset the Dlink router (by putting a pin at the back of the unit,
    then turning it off and on including my separate Netcomm modem.
    You then go back to your Ipod touch/ Settings and Choose the new Network Name.GOOD LUCK.

  • Help?? Can't get iPod Touch to play in my 2013 Nissan Sentra

    I have a 16GB iPod Touch, model MB531LL, and I cannot get it to play in my new 2013 Nissan Sentra.  All of the iPod Touch contents show up on the dashboard display, but no sound comes through the stereo.  When I plug my iPhone into the car it plays (although strange things happen sometimes, like podcasts initially playing at double chipmunk-sounding speed), but not the iPod Touch.  Has anybody experienced a similar situation & found a way to fix it??  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    Yes, I know that I could go down the mail order route, but I just know that if I do this there will be loads in the shops.

    hmv bluewater and chelmsford
    virgin bluewater
    JL bluewater
    all out of stock;-(
    BUT....
    phoned comet on 0870 542 5425 to see if the chelmsford branch have any. they don't but if you press the option on the phone to get thru to home delivery they have 16 16GB left (didnt ask about 8's) , siiting in their warehouse and will guarantee delivery on tuesday before midday for £7.99. so mine is on its way. Horray!

    If you are in a country where re-downloading is possible (iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085), delete the track (and the original file) and download again (Downloading [using iOS or computer] past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).  See tips on downloading in https://discussions.apple.com/message/19097773, especially unchecking the "Allow Simultaneous Downloads" box in the downloads tab of iTunes.
    Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
    You can re-download your available previous purchases.

  • Recently switched from windows to Mac-can't get ipod nano to sync

    After reading help pages, I believe I need to reset my ipod. HOwever, all the directions are asking me to select ipod from device list and mine won't even show up on the device page of itunes. At this point I just want to erase everything on it and start over. Any help would be appreciated!

    I have read that page before. My problem is that as I try to restore and follow the directions, it says to plug in ipod and wait for it to appear in the itunes page. Well it does not show up, so I cannot find the restore button in the settings. I really think its a software problem as the ipod just says do not disconnect whenever it is plugged into my computer-whether it's charged or not. Thanks for trying to help.
