Same as you would if you bought a pc; copy everything from your old computer to your new one. Then you can just sync everything from the new computer, as you did with the old one.

I want to sync the songs on my Mac to my iPod, but it says An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPod with the contents of this iTunes library.' Will this reset my iPod completely?

Was your iPod associated with a different mac or pc previously is all. And was it backed up or sync'd on this mac with iTunes previously.

My daughter and I both have an iPod;can we each have our own music library

My daughter recently got a new iPod and I inherited her old nano. I'd like to clear her music files from the nano and place music files of my choosing on it with out effecting her itunes library. We have one desktop computer; Is there any way for each of us to have our own library to use with our own iPods?

When the iPods belong to different people, there are basically two ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
a) Sharing a single iTunes library and or user account or
b) Creating multiple user accounts.
Note: When you are sharing an iTunes library, you don't have to set each iPod to update in the same manner, you can mix and match from the options below as each iPod has it's own update settings
Sharing a Library and/or User Account
If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish):
Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Or you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
It's also possible to have multiple libraries in a single account. To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key (or Shift key in Windows) when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one. This can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library:
Using multiple iTunes libraries -Windows
Separate User Accounts
Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists
I don't use Windows so I can't give you a step by step on that one, however I can point you to another web page which should help you out. You can read about Windows user accounts here:

How do I get my ipod items to go back into my itunes library? When i sync it says if you sync you will erase the contents of my ipod.

My Ipod 60gb has 2600+ Items on it. For some reason my Itunes Library only has 1500+. When I try to sync my Ipod to add new songs it says
if you sync you will erase the contants of your Ipod. Help

Your iPod can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time. If you try to sync it with another library, it will erase the current contents of the iPod and replace them with the contents from the new library.
If you have content you need to copy from your iPod back to your iTunes library, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer discussing the different ways to do this.

I am using a Mac and an iPod Nano (the old longer one)

Double-click the name in the device summary screen to get a cursor, and edit the name. In previous versions of iTunes, you could change the name by clicking it once.

HT3965 Rename an ipod

With the new itunes format I can not figure out how to rename my ipod. Please help.

If you'd like to return to the old iTunes format, you can follow these steps:
1. Look for the Menu Bar (File, Edit, View, Controls, Store, Help)
2. If you see it, great! Head to step 4.
3. Press Ctrl + B on the keyboard
4. Go to View > Show Sidebar
And voila! You should now be seeing a familiar interface.
You can also rename the iPod without a computer.
Navigate to Settings > General > About > Name and proceed to change the name directly from the iPod itself.

Everytime i eject my ipod and reconnect it all my music is gone. and sometimes while i try adding music to it. itunes completely freezes. please help. and sometimes when i plug it back into my PC i have to rename my ipod and such

Everytime i eject my ipod and reconnect it all my music is gone. and sometimes while i try adding music to it. itunes completely freezes. please help. and sometimes when i plug it back into my PC i have to rename my ipod and such

Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
My suggestion.
Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your Ipod to the PC
When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well, since you got such a huge library.
When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
If this doesn't resolve your problem, then let me know.
Good Luck!

HT1789 how to rename my ipod in the latest version of iTunes as this support answer is about an old version of iTunes!?

How can I rename my iPod in the most recent versionof iTunes 11.0.2?? This support answer is with regard to an old version of iTunes. I'd really like to rename it.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Thank you. I don't understand why Apple insists on leaving the old support info up there and every query seems to point to it. Yours was the only useful answer I've found.

Renaming an iPod

Hoping someone can clear this up for me. When you rename your iPod i.e. select the iPod in iTunes under the devices section on the right and change it's name, and resync the iPod. Should the new name show up on the title area of the iPod?
I can see it's new name obviously in iTunes, windows explorer, and on the iPod itself under Settings -> About. However, the name isn't being shown in the title area at all, is it supposed to? Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. I have no trouble at all giving the iPod a new name.
As I said, the new name I give it does show up on the iPod when going into the About screen from the Settings menu. It also does display the new name properly in iTunes, but it doesn't show the new name at the top of the iPod screen. It only shows the time and the original name "iPod".
Shouldn't the new name also be displayed at the very top of the screen on my iPod?
