Just got a new ipod...upgraded from nano..will library transfer?

Any tips to make this a smooth transaction? Does it matter if the I-pod is named the same as thye old one? Will I be able to transfer my old library to the new ipod ?
Thanks for the help?

As Jediboy already pointed out (give him a star gosh darn it!) iTunes keeps track of individual iPods by type and serial number. So not only will the new iPod sync just fine with your existing library, but you can also set different updating preferences for each iPod. For example, on a 5th Gen 80GB iPod, you might simply choose to auto update everything if your library contains 50GB of stuff. But for a Nano, you might want to update that one with specific playlists since not everything will fit on it at once.

Try this... launch iTunes on your computer. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.
Then try transferring iTunes purchases (only) from the iPod.

If it is plugged into a USB hub (or the spare keyboard port), try connecting it to a direct USB port.
Also, try doing this Reset procedure, while it is connect to power.

iPods and other iDevices are not backup or storage devices.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder (and all other desired data) from the old computer to the new computer.

Email itunes support! Or you could just transfer your purchases. Either w/ external drive, or w/ you iphone/ipod/ipad!

HT4314 I have just got a new ipod touch but my game centre games are on the old one and i don't want to start them again, can I transfer the stage i'm at or anything?

The progress for some games will transfer since some games synce progress to a cental server. For other games you will have to have the backup of the old iPod.
You can restore from backup or access the backup. See:
How to transfer game saves between iOS devices, without iTunes, and without jailbreaking | TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog
If you have acces to the old iPod yu can make a backup by connecting the iPod to the computer and right click on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up. Then restore from that backup.
