How to Sync Your iPod With Another PC Without Losing Your Music?
So, my computer crashed and is completely unusable and now it is time to update my ipod touch and I would like to download new music but when I try to connect it with a new computer, it says my ipod is needing an update and to go to itunes.com to download the latest version. I click OK and go to itunes.com and it has me download itunes, not update my ipod. Any ideas on how to update my ipod???
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

i want to connect my ipod to a friends computer to get some of her songs on my ipod. every time i do this tho it deletes the songs i already had on my ipod from the original computer. how do i get this to work? please help
When you connect the ipod and are prompted to erase and sync....just click cancel. Then click the ipod name below devices in the itunes source pane. From the ipod summary screen you want to check manually manage music and videos under the options tab. Apply the changes and you are now set to manually sync. Which means you just drag and drop the music you want to sync to your ipod below devices in the itunes source pane. Refer to this for more detailed instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535

Can anyone help me figure out how to sync my ipod with my purchased music? I have used several computer and at one point synced my ipod with a computer that only had about half of my music. My other computers are no longer working. Not sure how to get my purchased music back onto my ipod?
Hi kimcinma!
Your previous purchases are saved on iCloud even if you bought them on another computer. If you can't find them on your current computer, you might need to unhide them. Go to iTunes preferences, and click on Store Preferences. Then click the box for "show iTunes in the Cloud purchases". Then click on OK, and everything you've ever bought from iTunes on that Apple ID will show up in your library. You will need to download them from iCloud first before you can synch them to your iPod Classic. To do this, click on the little cloud with the arrow in it next to your song, and it will download to your computer. When you have the music that you want downloaded, plug in your iPod and synch away. Hope this helps!

Stick the disk in, reboot holding c.
Disk Utility is a menu option about the 2 or 3rd screen in the installer. (don't install OS X!)
Because your booted form the installer disk, you can repair the disk.
Quit and exit the installer and reboot.
If your drive is not repaired, make a note of all what it says, for Apple to use.

I'm overseas and need to sync my iphone with itunes but I don't have my computer. How can I sync it to my friends computer without losing my music and data?
Why do you need to sync your iPhone with iTunes - for what purpose?
You can transfer iTunes content and photos from one computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first with a warning message provided beforehand indicating this will occur. -

You can try pausing the download by tapping on the Pages icon, but you may not be able to use Pages until the update completes. I don't know that for sure, but I wouldn't want to take the chance on corrupting the app and maybe the files.
