How can I register my Ipod on a second computer in order to sync

What you should do is copy everything currently on the iPod to your iTunes library first. Once you have successfully done that, you can go ahead and chose Erase and Sync.

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.

HT2688 can i sync my iPod to my home computer through home sharing or do I have to sync it every time to the home computer?

can i sync my iPod to my home computer through home sharing or do I have to sync it every time to the home computer?

There is no such thing as "home sharing sync".
iOS devices can be synced via the cable or if running iOS5 or later via Wi-Fi.
iPods (nano's, classics) must be synced via the cable.

I have just changed my computer as my old one died... but now cannot access my old itunes account so i have set up a new one with another email address. how can I sync my ipod to my new computer without wiping all my music ?

I have just tried to sync my ipod to a new computer as my old one died but as I cannot remember my previous log in I created a new itunes account. I now want to sync but it says it will wipe my music off my ipod. Does anyone know how I can do this now ?

If you have purchases on your iPod Shuffle that you want to sync back to iTunes, but are under the Apple ID you no longer have access to, you'll need to reset that account information. You can use this link to reset your password.
https://iforgot.apple.com/
If that doesn' work or help, you'll need to contact iTunes support and have them walk you through the process of resetting the older account information. Once you know the email and password again, you can authorize your new computer and transfer any purchases from this account back to iTunes.
For all non-iTunes purchased content, you'll need to the assistance of some sort of third party software that is not supported by Apple. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

My computer crashed. So does this mean I can not add any more music to my ipod from a different computer without all the songs being erased? Can I sync my ipod to a new computer if I allow all the songs to be erased?

My computer crashed. So does this mean I can not add any more music to my ipod from a different computer without all the songs being erased? The ipod works fine and now i got a new computer. So it seems like my only options are leaving my ipod in a state where i cant add anymore songs or erasing all my songs and trying to use my ipod from my new computer. Can someone please inform me on how to have my ipod work from a different computer, even if i have to erase my songs. Thanks.

Yes, if you choose the Erase and Sync option (or restore your iPod) you will be allowed to sync your iPod with the new computer.

How can i sync my ipod to my new computer without erasing itunes 11

Hi,
I formatted my computer, I then installed iTunes 11. I then found out that I can't manually sync music to it as I did in the beggining.
Question is how can I sync it without erasing my songs.
Thanks,
Computer600

I found this post from a long time ago:
iTunes will only give you the option to copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads etc) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
iTunes & iPod software
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod2PC Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
YamiPod Mac and Windows
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
Floola Mac & Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
The following does not apply to the iPod Touch:

Help! How can i sync my ipod with a new computer?

how do i sync my ipod touch with a new computer? the old computer it was synced with is completely broken. I don't want to loose any songs, especially the ones I didn't buy on itunes.

For music obtained from other than the iTunes Music Store, you need to browse the app store and purchase an app intended for that very purpose. I'm unable to recommend one because I've never had reason to use such an app. DO THIS FIRST!
For songs purchased from iTunes, simply do a sync to the new computer. A box will appear asking if you wish to transfer purchases. If, for whatever reason, that fails, this is "Plan B."

How can I sync my ipod to a new computer without having to wipe everything off it?

When I am connecting my ipod classic to my new computer it keeps coming up that I can only sync with one computer and in order to sync with this one I need to erase everything off the ipod. Is there anyway to sync without having to loose everything??

What you should do is copy everything currently on the iPod to your iTunes library first. Once you have successfully done that, you can go ahead and chose Erase and Sync.

HT1420 Can't sync my ipod with my new computer without it prompting me to erase files on my ipod

Everytime I try to connect my ipod to my new computer with the usb cable, it says this ipod is already synced to another computer and asks if I want to erase files already on my ipod or play songs authorized for this computer. I have a lot of music on my ipod that isn't in my itunes library, and I don't want to lose those songs. I there anyway to unsync my old computer without having to turn it back on? It crashed on me a while back and can't be used anymore..

Yes, it will. You need to move your iTunes folder from your old computer to the new computer. You will find it in the /Home/Music/ folder. Copy the entire iTunes folder to an external drive then restore it on the new computer to the same location (overwrite any existing iTunes folder there.) iTunes will now find your old library in the expected location.
If you migrate your old Home folder to the new computer then this will assure that everything continues working as it was on the old computer.
