Will I loose all the stuff on my iPod if I sync it to a new computer?
You will lose some but not all infor/media. To not lose anything:

Im trying to add music to my iphone on a different computer. If I sync my phone to the new computer will it delete my old music?!
Yes, it will. Try using TouchCopy (http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php) (automatic transfer), or iExplorer (manual transfer of files).

My computer crashed. So does this mean I can not add any more music to my ipod from a different computer without all the songs being erased? The ipod works fine and now i got a new computer. So it seems like my only options are leaving my ipod in a state where i cant add anymore songs or erasing all my songs and trying to use my ipod from my new computer. Can someone please inform me on how to have my ipod work from a different computer, even if i have to erase my songs. Thanks.
Yes, if you choose the Erase and Sync option (or restore your iPod) you will be allowed to sync your iPod with the new computer.
If you would like to save the content that's currently on your iPod, see this older thread from another forum member Zevoneer discussing the different ways to copy the content on an iPod back to your PC.

My old computer with itunes no longer works. If I hook my ipod to my new computer will I lose the songs that are on it now?
Yes, you will.
Do you have the songs still?
You could add them to your new library if you do. -
i just synced to a new computer and accidently erased all my songs that were not purchased. Is there any way I can get them back?
If they are still in your iTunes library, the answer is "yes", you can resynch to get them back.
If they are not in your iTunes library, and no longer on the iPod, I do not believe they cannot be gotten back easily. You might be able to have someone see if they are still on the disk, but that can be $$$. This is why the ITunes library should be viewed as the primary repository of music, even if you need to purchase an external hard drive or two to have the music and a backup. -
If I sync my ipod to a new computer will any saved progress on my ipod be safe?
Hello! So, I have a new laptop, and was able to transfer everything from my old computer to my new one. And now I want to sync up my ipod to this one. My only worry is, if I sync up with my new laptop will any game progress be lost? I.E. I beat a few levels on Angry Birds, would syncing up to my new laptop force me to redo all the levels again?
The best way to get all app data transfered is to connect the iPod to the new computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up. Then restore from that backup. Not that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.
As david said, some game data/progress is stored on servers wheil other is stored in the iPod and balso contained in the iPod backup. -
If I sync my iPod to a new computer, will it erase the pictures on the camera roll?
I just got a new laptop and I wanted to sycn my iPod with it. My iPod is currently in sync with my desktop at home. I added all the information on my iPod to my new computer (i.e. music, podcasts, general pictures, contacts, etc.) but I don't know how to save the photos on the camera roll. If I sync with my new computer, will it delete the photos on the camera roll?
go to "COMPUTER" look for your ipod. open the folder. look for you pictures. highlight them. and drag them to your computer....

HT1202 old ipod on my new computer, will I lose my old music
as the title says for some god awful reason I seem to not have transfered some of my old purchases to my new computer and vice versa so before I lose my music I want to make sure it is safe to sync.
Hello there outpost_2,
First here is some information about what the Transferring Purchases function does:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848.
Essentially you can transfer the purchases you have on your iPod to the New computer. If you have songs on there that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, then they will not transfer.
If that will be an issue then I recommend copying the library from the original computer the iPod used to sync with to the new one. Use this article for assistance with that:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
All the very best,

If i sync my iphone with my new laptop will i loose all my stuff

My computer crash and i got a new Hard Drive. I synced my Ipod to my Itunes and then lost all my photos that were on my ipod. I do not know if my cloud backed it up. Is there any way i can get my pictures back??????
- If the photos were synced to the iPod they are gone
- If they were taken by or saved to the iPod gp to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and look at the date/time of the iPod backup. If it is when you synced then restoring from backup should get the photos back.
- If you had turned on Settings>iCloud>PhotoStream, then set up PhotoStream on the computer and get the last 30 days of photos from PhotoStream. You should also be able to get them back by simply turning one Photostream on the restored iPod. -

If i sync my iphone to my new computer will i loose everything?
if i backup my phone to the new macbook, will my iphone loose everything or just the music?
Ah...Apps are iTunes content...photos synced to your phone are considered iTunes content, so yes, they will be erased.
By design, iPhone syncs or manually manages iTunes content with ONE computer at a time. Each time you switch computers, all iTunes content is first erased from your phone, to be replaced with the content from the new computer. -
