Ipod touch not syncing as already synced with another library

I Pod Touch just purchased 4th one in family. Whilst away i set up itunes in another win computer and synced new ipod touch to this one. Now i,m home trying to sync with my mac at home but getting error;
"This Ipod is synced with another library" The other library(on win) is just still mine in itunes.
How do i fix this without losing all new app's etc on daughters computer that were purchased whilst away. Do i have to lose all the new app's & songs
help !!

I think that, for some reason, none of the backups that were being made are listed any longer. The only ones listed are four that have timestamps after I erased, one with the earliest timestamp that's the encrypted backup, and another without a time stamp that I'm also assuming is later. I might give that one a try, but I'm not sure that it will work...

TS4062 iPod Touch not showing content after sync

iTunes says it is transferring over podcasts, but the latest podcasts don't show up on my iTouch. This just started this past week, and my iTouch is not full. I saw there was an operating system update yesterday (7.1.1), so I did that, hoping that would help, but no such luck. iTunes told me it was transferring another podcast over this morning, but still nothing new is showing up in my podcast area on my iTouch.

I am having a similar issue. I have a 1st-generation iPod touch, and a MacBook running Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.3) and iTunes 9.1.1. It's a bit old now and the WiFi isn't very good, but my iPod touch still works perfectly, except that it doesn't show up in iTunes, which I discovered yesterday when I tried to sync some new music. I got my iTouch G1 the first week they came out and it worked perfectly with my iBook G4 running Tiger, and also worked perfectly with my new MacBook running Leopard which replaced the iBook when its logic board bit the dust. I recently updated to Snow Leopard (about a month ago now), and now my iTouch doesn't show up in my iTunes sidebar, but a volume shows up in Disk Utility that could only be this iPod and things do happen when I plug in the iPod (the first time I connected it since I added some Snow to my Leopard, iPhoto opened and prompted a download of a screenshot I'd taken with the iPod). I'm mostly writing this right now because the support page pertinent to this issue is down due to some sort of Apple web maintenance and I'm tired of getting the same error message. I actually have everything on my Mac backed up, and when I installed Snow Leopard I just did a basic installation but have been thinking of going back and doing a clean wipe and install and then getting the iTunes and iPhoto libraries et cetera off of my external HD. Would this fix my problem? I figure that since my iPod touch's files and system have been constant throughout this, it must be some issue with Snow Leopard, however before I wipe everything and have to set my system up again from scratch, I would like to know if this problem would be fixed by doing that or if there is some problem inherent in Snow Leopard that needs to be manually fixed.

HT1386 i want to sync from my ipod to a new library but ipod recognises that content is already held in another library (on an external drive, now broken which i cannot access). Help?

help needed please. I haven't used my ipod for some time - my library content is stored on an external hard drive, which i also haven't used for some time. now that i have an ipad i wanted to sync everything but the external drive is broken. i have uploaded and updated all software for ipod/itunes onto my laptop but the programme is recognising that i have a library elsewhere and will only allow me to update from laptop to ipod (which would delete all my music). Can anyone suggest a way around this? many thanks!

Probably because you did not tell the iPod to sync the calendar in iTunes.

IPod Touch "already synced with another library", Corrupt Backup?

I plugged my iPod into the only PC it's ever been plugged into today, and it came up with "This Ipod is already synced with another library" when I tried to sync it. I tried a variety of solutions I found on the internet, but none seemed to work.
So, I decided to give in and do "Erase and Sync". Before I did that, however, I created a new encrypted backup of the iPod using the option in the iPod summary window. I erased the iPod and re-synced, so it has all of my music and apps on it now.
However, whenever I try to restore from the backup, I get a message akin to "The restore cannot complete due to an error" (with no identification of the error. Immediately following this, the iPod begins to say "This iPod is already synced with another library" again, and I'm forced to start over.
The iPod is in a workable condition - all of my music and apps were saved, after all. However, none of my settings are in place, and I would really like to avoid having to set everything up again. Is there a way to un-corrupt the backup (or undo whatever has happened to it) so that I can get my settings back? Or am I out of luck?

I think that, for some reason, none of the backups that were being made are listed any longer. The only ones listed are four that have timestamps after I erased, one with the earliest timestamp that's the encrypted backup, and another without a time stamp that I'm also assuming is later.

How do I sync "On My iPod touch" notes with and IMAP account?

I wrote a number of notes in the Notes app before I configured it to sync with an IMAP account. I have added an IMAP acct. to the device and configured that acct. to sync notes. Notes now has an accounts section, and that section lists "On My iPod touch" and the IMAP acct. How do I get the "On My iPod touch" notes sync'd with my IMAP?

Have you tried restoring the ipod?

If this fails, then it is likely a hardware problem.

2nd generation iPod touch not syncing with computer

When I plug in my 2nd generation 8g iPod touch, it doesn't say "syncing" and it doesn't show up as a device on my computer. I tested the cord with a wall charger, and it's not the cord's problem. Is it because my iPod is an older system? My iTunes updated by itself so it's the newest version. Help!!!

I have unfortuantly had the exact same problem following my update to iTunes 11.
Incase someone explains the problem for me and not you, here is the link to my post. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4755057
Best of luck getting it to work!

I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library. However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library.

I don't see anything in Help that shows when you already have transfered all the files over. Why would it want to erase and sync when I already have all the music folder copied over? I didn't have an issue when I had another technician copy from one laptop to another. Home sharing is also on but not being recognized.

I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Hi, my iPod touch has been unable to sync since downloading the new cloud software. It says: An error occurred while restoring this iPod (-34) So my music is not on it. it doesn't have 3G so the cloud is pointless anyway. Music is all I use on it.

It doesn't have 3G so the cloud is pointless anyway. It just said it was a software update, I should have avoided it. Music is all I use on it so help me please!

A playlist takes up almost no room. A few kB at most.
It is simply a list of songs in the library
Do you want the playlists or not?
