Ipod is synced with another iTunes library...

im trying to add new songs to my ipod but this message pops up and dont let me. The only way to do it is to Erase and Sync but that means that all the songs currently on my ipod are gonna go away i think. Can i do anything about this?

I have a similiar problem. I was importing songs off of CDs I bought when I lost my VPN connection. Once I restored it I notice that I could only see the songs that I recently imported on my iTunes screen. When I connected my iPod, I get the message:
The iPod "telj's iPod" is synced with another iTunes library. An iPod can be syned with only one iTunes library at a time. What would you like to do?
"Erase and Sync" replaces the contents of this iPod with the contents of this iTunes library.
"Transfer Purchases' copies iTunes Store purchases this computer is authorized to play form this iPod to this iTunes library.
I want my old library, it has 17GB of songs and photos on it.HOW DO I GET IT BACK?
I have not done a thing at this point. I still have the iTunes DB on my iPod, I can see it since I've enabled disk use for my iPod. Please help.
Thanks

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

    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.

  • The ipod is synced with another itunes library

    "the ipod is synced with another itunes library" and they gave me two choices...
    1. to delete all my ipod data.
    2. cancel..
    Guys before you reply please please read why i have turned to the support/community as this is my last resort before you reply with the most general answers which i would have already tried and did not work.
    Ok, so my old computer died on me a month ago and i had not backed up my ipod touch for a few months already.. so when my com died on me i was with quite an outdated OS. when i got my com back a few days ago, i straight away told myself to backup my ipod touch, so i did. when i synced with this new itunes and clicked cancel for "the ipod is synced with another itunes library" question. it loaded like a normal syncing would do. i left it alone..
    a few mins later i checked my itunes and noticed the word "DELETING ------" and i'm like WTH!?! and straight away unplugged the cable. nearly 80% of my games were deleted! all save data and stuffs gone.. i dont know what happened so i searched online.
    to cut it short i found out about authorizing accounts so i deauthorized "all itunes" things and authorized this current one..
    it still shows me "the ipod is synced with another itunes library" and it tried to delete my games despite that.
    someone help me please. i have like 3 games left that still has my high scores from my 50+ games i had previously.
    oh and one more this. i have never jailbroked my itouch before and all games are legit-ly downloaded so thats about it. anything else you need to know please feel free to ask!
    I sincerely thank you for helping me.

    I would move the backups to a safe place and let iTunes erase and restore the iPods.  Then move the other backup to the correct location and then restore from the old backups.  It may not work but you are no worse off.  The backups are located here:
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

  • My iPod is synced with another iTunes library?!?!

    We got a new computer a couple of months ago and I'm trying to download more tunes from iTunes. It's saying my iPod is synced with another iTunes library. It's asking if I want to erase this iPod and sync with this iTunes library. NO! I don't want to lose all of my songs! I just want to add the new ones! We don't have our old computer anymore so I can't access the old library. Am I screwed at this point?
    Thanks for any help!!!

  • ITunes Msg re "iPod is synced with another iTunes Library"

    We have two computers, two iPod shuffle (2nd Gen). We had a HD failure and lost the iTunes Library that was synced with One of the shuffles. The other shuffle is ok with iTunes. My question is that I don't want to lose the loaded songs already on the shuffle that is not recognized by iTunes (iTunes asks my to erase that iPod and sync it with the iTunes Library that is available). So how do I save those songs and how to I get iTunes to recognize that Library so I can add to the Library??

    I am having the same problem. I cant see any replies to this, but indicates there was one...can someone post solution again?
