Iphone, Ipod touch and a new computer
Hi all, lengthy post so here goes...
I had an older computer that I had synced with my Ipod touch and newly purchased Iphone. Some how the old computer decided to pack it in and I can't access the internet on it. I purchased a new computer, installed itunes 8.2 onto it and synced the ipod touch to it. then tried to sync the iphone. Now, on itunes, the library has all my songs and movies on it, when I sync my ipod touch where my movies are they show up, however when I sync the iphone in the "device" section where the iphone shows up, all the songs are printed in light grey and in the library section they are printed black. When I try to move anything to the iphone from the library it won't let me. From my research it seems that I can only link my iphone to one computer, which happens to be the computer no longer working to access the internet to deauthorize the iphone on that computer, so what do I do. I only want it for the one computer but I can't fix this other computer to allow access to the internet on THAT computer.
Anyone with SIMPLE solutions please help

I would like to transfer the music that is already on my iPod touch to a new computer. At present, my iPod touch is not recognised on the new computer. How do I resolve that so I can literally connect it to my new computer and transfer all my music? Any help is much appreciated.

It doesn't quite work that way. Transfer your music from the old computer to the new one. Then, sync the iPod.

I need to synch my iphone, ipod touch and classic to a Mac that I have and 2 I am about to buy. I have legally paid for all my music. If I use migration on my new Macs and clone the original, can I use my iAppliances on all 3 Macs?
Yes.
You can authorize up to 5 computers to play itunes music ( pre-itunes plus). There is no limit on itunes plus ( all itunes music for the past several years) and imported music.
You can sync as many ipods/ipads/iphones as you like to each of your computers. -
I got a new computer and backed up my iTunes library to an external hard drive. The external hard drive is not allowing me to access the drive. I no longer have access to the old computer. Is there a way to transfer the songs from my iPod touch to my new computer?
That's a bummer, didn't realize the exHD files were corrupt, esp if you have tried from another PC and not just this new computer.
You can get purchases from the itunes store transferred from an iPod using these directions:

If you want everything (meaning non-itunes songs, app data, photos, etc) you need to buy a 3rd-party ipod manager that support iTouch. Here is an iLounge article to start your research:
