How do you add your ipod & itunes to a 2nd computer?

I've downloaded the itunes software, but when I hook my ipod to the computer, I get a message saying my ipod is already synched to another library and my library won't show up on my new computer. Any thoughts on this? Much obliged!

You should be able to get the purchases off your iPhone - just authorize the new mac first

No direct email that I know of, lots of pages with "contact us" links, though.
Or this main page

Your new MacBook is hardware, though, and you should be able to use some support calls for that. Just google "Apple phone number"

    You can sync with one and only one computer at a time.  Sycning to another will indeed erase the content from the ipod and replace with content from the new computer.
    You should copy everything from the old computer to the new one.
