See:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
Basically you will have to transfer its contents to the new computer and then restore the iPod and then resync. An iPod can only sync to one iTunes library.
BTW you posted in the iPod touch forum.

    There is no "adding" a device.  Simply plug the iDevice into the computer.  iTunes should automatically detect the device when it is connected.
    iTunes can sync/manage as many iDevices as you want... there is no 1 device limit.

    When connecting ipad to itunes, in the Summary tab (in itunes for your device), look in the Backups section and choose to back up to itunes.

  • How does one copy songs from an iPod nano to a new computer?

    How does one copy songs from an iPod nano to a new computer?

    You can't add any iOS to a Nano since it doesn't run iOS.
    For iTunes purchased music connect to your computer and in iTunes go to File > Transfer purchases.
    For non-iTunes music you will need 3rd party software. Assuming you have a Windows computer try Yamipod.

  • What is the Best Way to Sync iPod nano to a new Computer and User?

    what is the best way to sync ipod to a new computer and user?
    moving from old mac to new mac - same ipod
    - currently won't add music etc. i guess because it is not associated with this new computer
    - i don't care if I dump all old contents - if necessary...
    BTW: what if it's the same username?

    No problem.
    What about when I have the same user name on both old and new computers - and right now the new computer sees/syncs the ipod just fine .... but it seems that on another day it might not allow the sync
    If it's syncing okay already, then you have nothing to worry about. Anyways, why would it change? It doesn't decide when to. It either syncs or it doesn't depending on the situations circumstances, in which your case, you have nothing to worry about because it's already syncing without issues.

  • How do I transfer or sync music from a Ipod Nano to a new computer?

    I have a new computer and have installed ITunes on it.  An existing Ipod Nano has my music files.  How do I sync or transfer the music from the Nano, so I can use those files on my Iphone?

    If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
    1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
    2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
    3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
    If you didn't purchase them through Itunes, then you'll have to download software that will strip the songs from your iPod Nano. And here is a guide about how to sync music from iPod nano back to computer. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • Sync ipod nano with a new computer

    My hard drive in my MacBook crashed and I now have a new computer. I am trying to sync my ipod nano with iTunes but i get a message stating that the content on my ipod will be replaced with the songs and playlists from my iTunes library (which is nothing). I want to get all my songs, playlists, from my ipod onto my computer. Help!!!

    See if there are instructions for what you want to do in the iPod nano (5th generation) - User Guide, check Knowledge Base, iPod Nano Support or call U.S. iPod and Mac technical support: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273).

  • 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

  • Transferring iPod Nano to a new computer

    I own an iPod Nano (2d Generation). I was recently given a more recent Nano, so I want to give my old one to my adult daughter who does not live in the same city I do, much less have access to my computer. What steps do I have to take to enable her to use it on her iTunes account, on her computer (she has a full-size iPod, but wants to have the Nano for some uses)?

    Hi GirlsNanny,
    you can copy over your songs to her computer and authorise her computer to play them. if she has a PC, then tell her to:
    1. double click on the 'iPod' in 'My Computer' and click folder options in the 'view' menu
    2. click on 'show hidden files'.
    3. open the folder called 'iPod_Control'.
    4. copy the folder 'music' that was inside the folder 'iPod_Control' into 'my documents' or wherever.
    5. open 'iTunes', eject the 'iPod'.
    6. go into the file 'menu' and select 'import'.
    7. click on the 'music' folder that you copied off the 'iPod' and hit enter. it should import all the songs that were on the 'iPod'.
    8. give your friend your iTunes account details to let her play them on her computer.
    Hope this helped!
