How do i change the computer that my ipod touch is hosted by?
I recently bought a new laptop and i want to transfer my ipod to it form my old laptop. I transferred all of the media files and my itunes is in tact. How do i get the ipod to synch to the new computer?
Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.

Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
More data transferring info can also be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137

HT4436 how do i change the computer that my icloud photostream was syncing with
how do I change where my photostream pictures are going. I got a new computer and am trying to get everything from the old to the new?
On your PC, open the iCloud Control Panel for Windows and check the box for Photo Stream. You can adjust your Photo Stream settings by clicking Photo Stream Options.
Your photos download to the Photo Stream download folder. By default, this folder is located at C:\Users\Apple\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream. You can change this location by visiting Photo Stream Options in the iCloud Control Panel for Windows. -

How do I change the computer that my iPhone wifi syncs to?
I recently got a new computer and want to have my iPhone sync to it over wifi. I went on my old computer and unchecked the box that said 'sync with this iPhone over wifi" and then tried to apply it and sync my phone, but the old computer will not sync my phone. I then went to the new computer and checked the "sync with this iPhone over wifi" but it did nothing on the phone, and will not allow my to sync it.
See this migrate iTunes library post to make sure you've transferred the library properly to the new computer. Connect the iPhone to it with a cable, perform a wired sync, then set up the option to sync wirelessly again.

How do you change the drive that my Iphone backs-up to on my computer? My first attempt to back-up and i received a pop-up stating that I do not have sufficient memory/space, knowing that I have over 120GB of free space...any ideas? thanks
dave0915,
iTunes stores your iPhone backups in the Library folder in your Home folder.
iTunes places the backup files in these places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes
