I orginally sync my Ipad with another computer, now I want to sync with another computer
I originally synced my Ipad with another computer, now I want to sync with anohter computer, I don't want to erase my Ipad and sync with my Ipod.
This is an extract from one of our senior participant; hope he doesn't mind me reproducing it here
Syncing with new computer
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.

All iTunes content on your iPhone - all music, movies, tv shows, ringtones, audio and print books, and 3rd party apps should be in your iTunes library - on the computer that you have been using to sync your iPhone.
Transfer your iTunes library from the computer you have been using to the new or different computer per the instructions included with this link.

-Transfer iTunes purchases to the compuer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discusssed here:
Copy music
- Connect the Ipd to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not contain synced media like apps and music. -
My husband got a new ipad and set up his own apple id without looking into the implications of that. Now I want to sync this ipad with our itunes so we can access it on here, but our itunes has a different apple id. Any way to do this?
You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

I have an IPOD Classic with purchased music and I want to sync it with a different PC but I get the message your device is synced with another PC. How do I resolve this issue? I don't have the previous PC.

On that PC, launch iTunes. From the menu bar top of your screen click Store / Authorize This Computer. -
Cannot sync my iPad to my new iMac even though I deauthorized my old computer.
Cannot sync my iPad to my new iMac even though I deauthorized my old computer.
Only purchases transfer over.
That is how it is designed to be.
Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

I have replaced my laptop and installed iTunes. When iffy to sync my iPad or iPhone it says they are already linked to another iTunes library and will only let me transfer purchased items. How do I get back to my original library.
Check out the solution found here.
If you do a restore you will lose everything. Some things will be backed up in iCloud but not everything. -

There is no way to stop iTunes from doing exactly what it is designed to do.
The iPhone is designed to sync with one and only one computer.
If you have moved/copied your iTunes library from your old computer to your new one, then iTunes wiping your device is no problem. You would simply sync and iTunes will put all the content back. -
Today I deleted a gmail account using my computer. I also added a new work gmail address. Now I want to sync my phone and tablet with the new email address. I've looked all over and can't find out how to do it.
PegHi there T&P63385!
Look no further! I have the answer for you! You can add a new email account to your android device by following these steps: http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=31401
Now I do want to let you know that your phone has a "main" gmail account. If this "main" gmail account was the one you deleted it may be best that you reset your phone and activate it to your new gmail address.
The reason I recommend doing this is all of your purchased application information is also tied to your gmail.
Ensure your personal information is backed up (contacts, pictures, etc) and follow these steps to Hard Reset your phone:http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=31308
Let me know if you have any other questions!
Thanks,

Change from pc to mac computer and I want to sync with my new equipment
I change my old computer, but I bought some songs directly from my apple tv, now I want to sync my new computer but I dont want to lost that songs, how can I do it?
Do you not have a backup of the songs on AppleTV, did the old computer drive fail?
If you still have the old computer I'd sync the song back to iTunes on that, then copy them to the new computer from the iTunes folder on there.
If this isn't possible, you may well lose the song on AppleTV by setting up a new sync library - previously synced content will definitely delete, and the direct purchased stuff may too.
You may have to contact your iTunes store from the support pages and ask if they'll re-enable the downloads of the music on the new computer. No guarantees, but they may do so. -
I bought some music on my iphone and now i want to sync my music into my new macbook that i bought but i don't want to loss the music that i bought on itunes.
Hi there,
You can re-download purchased content from the iTunes store directly to your iTunes library or your iOS devices. Take a look at the article below for more information.

I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account and will sync, but delete everything from my phone. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?
Iphone will sync with one and only one cpomptuer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer. This is the design of the iphone.
It will erase the content when you sync.
Why not update from the comptuer with which you normally sync?
