How to sync from ipod touch

how do i sync my ipod touch with music on it from a diferent computer without deleteing the music on it.

You need to move your music from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computers files/docs/pics/music/etc for this very reason.
What's more,you can refer this article about how to transfer or copy music from iPod to computer, which included an easy guide to work out that.
Cheers.

That is because you cannot sync the iPod Touch to the iPad. It's not possible to connect the two devices in any way at all for any reason whatsoever.
if you want to download the same music that is on the iPod to the iPad, you can do that in iTunes in the purchased tab. If you want to have the same apps on the iPad, go to the purchased tab of the App Store and download the apps again. You can do the same with books in the iBooks app.
If you want to sync, Notes, Contacts, calendars, you can so that in Settings>iCloud - as long as you set up an icloud email account and turn those features on in the settings.
Perhaps, if you were to explain exactly what you want to do, we might be able to offer specific instructions.

Same basic way as if you connect it to your syncing computer. However, you ned to restore to factory defaults/new iPod since there is not backup on the foreign computer.
In both cases you have to place the iPod in recovery mode to bypass (an erase) the iPod. For recovery mode see:

Sync from ipod touch to PC, after my PC is formatted!

I had earlier synced my ipod with the PC(Windows 7). Later due to system crash, I had to format all my data from my computer, and it was restored to factory settings.
However, the ipodTouch has all the data (songs, apps, etc). I installed iTunes again on my PC, but I didnt sync my PC with iTouch since this will delete all the data from iTouch.
Now I wish to sync my iTouch with my PC because there are few apps which I purchased and are on my PC. How can I sync my iTouch with PC without losing the data from ipod touch?
Thanks for your help in advance.

This previous discussion may help. However, you will likely loose on data you have in apps.

If you sync your iPod with a different/empty library iTunes will only give you the option to copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from the iPod to the computer and everything else on it will be erased. You'll find details on transferring purchases in this article: iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
Purchased applications can be downloaded over again, see this article for details: How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store
If you want to recover the music from CDs etc that is on the iPod and transfer it to your new computer there are a few things you can do. music from CDs etc.) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod Touch or iPhone. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer data (such as playcounts and ratings), movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well.

I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
One last thing, you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. Open iTunes first and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box "Prevent iPods and iPhones from syncing automatically" and choose Ok before connecting your device.
Once you have recovered everything from the iPod and your iTunes library has been rebuilt it will be safe to sync again.

How to sync new iPod Touch to replaced Hard Drive?

Okay, so I dropped my MB Pro and had to replace the hard drive... tragically, at the moment when my newest Time Machine backup is June 6 (long story, but I kept having the "Time Machine Drive is full" problem and never figured out how to get around it without buying lots of new drives).
So... here I am with a new drive that, after I go buy a Torx 6 screwdriver, I'll have to reload with a fresh install of 10.6... and then piece together with what files I could salvage from the damaged drive... but then I just realized I'll have another problem.
I have an iPad that I bought before the backup date, but which has changed content considerably since... and I have an iPod Touch that's only about two weeks old, but loaded with all my old songs, etc. and several new apps.
HOW do I sync up the iPad and iPod Touch to the computer once the new but "June 6" drive is up and running? Is there a way to have all the changes on the iPad and iPod added back to the Mac, rather than forcing those two units to also go back to my June 6 backup profile?

Google "Pod to Mac". It is available as both a freeware and paid software. It will copy the content of your iPod touch and most likely your iPad as well back to your Mac. Somethings, like photos, may not get copied back.
As another potential backup, try Carbon Copy Cloner. You can use it to clone your hard drive making a restore much easier.

How to sync an iPod Touch after replacing the hard drive

Hello,
The hard drive on my second MacBook Pro failed, so we had a new one fitted.
I recovered most of the data using Data Rescue, so I can grab the music files, photos, Pages files, etc.
However I can't get the User data from the damaged drive, nor any of the software programs and serial numbers so I'm effectively starting again with just the software that comes with a 'new' Mac.
The Apple ID on the iPod Touch is very similar to [email protected]
When I launched iTunes for the first time on the MacBook Pro I entered that email address, but it seemed like a new account was started (?).
I connected the iPod Touch to the MacBook Pro.
The message I got was...
"The iPod "Toby's iPod Touch" is synced with another itUnes library. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this iTunes library?"
I clicked Cancel.
What do I need to do to get iTunes to recognise this iPod Touch so it finds all the apps we bought for it?
I have a funny feeling that we are logged in as [email protected] in iTunes, but this isn't the same account as the Apple ID of [email protected] on the iPod Touch. Or have I misunderstood something?
Extra info: I think this computer was working with a User name of Chris Payne, but since it's had a new internal drive we've only set up an account called Toby Payne.
I'd appreciate your help! Thank you!

""The iPod "Toby's iPod Touch" is synced with another itUnes library. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this iTunes library?""
This is correct. There is no way around this. The ipod touch will sync with one and only one computer/library at a time. If you sync to another, it will indeed erase the current content and replace with the content from the new drive/library.
You can transfer itunes purchases ( including apps) from the ipod. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases

Problem syncing from iPod Touch - iTunes with apps

I recently reformatted me computer in order to move Windows to a different harddrive. I plugged in my iPod Touch. I authorized my computer and transferred all my apps from my iPod Touch to my iTunes. All apps appear; works great.
I want to add a new application that is in my iTunes library. If I check "Sync Apps" I get a popup saying "Are you sure you want to sync apps? All existing apps and their data on the iPod ... will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library". I do not want to lose app of my application data.
Is there a solution to this? I work for a company that creates iPhone applications (I do not make them myself), and I am trying to install one for testing purposes...so I cannot just download the app from iTunes.
Thanks.

The ipod touch will sync itunes content from one and only one computer/library.
When you reformatted, it became a new library.
Your itunes content will be erased and replaced with content from the new library.
I don't believe that the data will be lost ( if the apps are in itunes), but I am not sure.

Itunes library disappeared, how to sync from ipod?

I have had my 30gb ipod video for a few months now with no problems. Last night I sync up my ipod and everything was fine. This morning I open itunes and my library is completely empty, and all of my playlists are gone.
I checked my music folder and everything was still there, including the library xml file. Unfortunately I did not back up the xml file, and while trying to remedy the situation itunes overwrote the file with an empty library, so now I have lost all of that data.
I started going through the process of re-importing my music and re-creating all of my playlists when I realized that all of the play count, ratings and other information is now completely lost.
Since my ipod has all of the most current information, is there some way to sync the information from the ipod to my computer?
Thanks

How to sync from iPod to another IPod Shuffle

Can I sync playlist from an older model iPod shuffle to a new 4th generation iPod shuffle without losing the playlist on the original iPod shuffle?

If the songs on the old shuffle are in your iTunes music library, you'll need to sync the same songs to the new shuffle from your iTunes library. You can't sync from one iPod to another iPod.
If the songs on the old shuffle are not in your current iTunes library, you first need to off-load the song files from the old shuffle, add them to your iTunes library, then sync those songs to the new shuffle.
You can't transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
