ITunes created a second podcast section in my library, but my iPod can only sync with one

Hi,
I've tried searching for something related to this, so apologies if this has been covered already.
Under "Library" on the lefthand side of iTunes I have
Music
Movies
Podcasts
Podcasts
Itunes U
Books
Note that there are now two listings for podcasts. I have no idea how this happened. I've been using iTunes on this Mac, subscribing to podcasts, for just short of five years. Yesterday I was downloading some new items as podcasts from Librivox.org -- something I have done before, including in recent days -- and the new items unexpectedly went into the (just then created) second podcast section under "library". Not surprisingly, my iPod will only recognize one podcast section (happens to be the newer one).
Again, though this happened while at librivox.org, I have downloaded stuff from them clicking on the same things before, including just a day or two ago, and this never happened before.
1) How do I get all podcasts into one folder so I can choose from my whole library of podcasts when syncing with my iPod?
2) If item 1 above is not possible, at least how can I prevent this from happening again?
Many thanks!

I bought a MAC for the first time and plugged my Itouch into it to download my music on it, but is says The iPod "Rick's IPOD" is synced with another iTunes library. An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. What should I do?

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.

I just bought a new computer, now itunes tells me I can only sync with one computer. It only offers me the choice to erase and sync. I do not want to erase my ipod, I just want my music on the new computer. Can't I just transfer the songs from the ipod

I just bought a new computer. Itunes only offers me the option of erase and sync, as I can only have it sync'd with one computer. I want to move my music to this computer from my ipod. Is this possible, or do I have to go back to my cds and upload everything from there? I just want to be able to move my music from my ipod to the new computer.

You need to transfer your iTunes Library from the old computer to the new one - then you can carry on syncing as normal. You can't move non-purchased music from an iPod to iTunes using iTunes. For purchased music, choose iTunes > File > Transfer purchases...

Ipod can.t sync with new itunes

My itunes software got some problem so i remove it,then download a new one,but can't sync,screen show that one ipod just can sync with one itunes only,so what can i do;reset or what??HELP!

"Screen show that one ipod just can sync with one itunes only"
The message you are getting is due to your iPod being set to automatically update from iTunes (sync), an iPod can only sync with one library. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc. If your new iTunes has the same music as your iPod then pressing "Erase and Sync" will link your iPod to the library and update it with the songs you have on there.
However if your new library is empty choose "Cancel", your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

You can only sync with one iTunes library/computer. To switch:

Yes. I have no personal experience with this, but it is possible to recover your music from an iPod. See this link: http://guides.macrumors.com/Recovering_Songs_from_an_iPod
