"I have just transferred my itunes account to a new computer and when i try to sync , I get a 'this ipod is synced with another itunes library ,do you want to erase this ipod and sync with this itunes library"
Correct.
"will answering 'yes' erase what i currently have on my ipod"
Yes.
If you copied everything from your old computer to your new one, as you should always do, then the content will be put right back when you sync.
"i'd like to get an ipad 3, if i cant sort out my account ,I'll get the galaxy note 10.1 !"
OK. We are all itunes users like you. You threat of buying a different device means nothing here.

I am concerned about the health of my current computer but have not yet made the commitment to a new one, but:
1) How can I transfer my iTunes account to a new computer when I get one...
and
2) What can I do if my current computer suddenly implodes and I have not yet 'copied/'saved'/otherwise protected my account, as is? -- I have already had my computer crash once and had one of your people help me restore all of the paid for songs (none of the uploaded from my own collection of CD songs, of course, so I had to spend a long time rebuilding that) -- and I believe I was told you could only help me recover that material one or two times altogether, no?
WithOUT purchasing a Mach or iCloud (I actually think I have one of the later, but rarely have checked it) account, is there anything I can do to responsibly protect my account?
Thanks for any time taken on this!!!

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

The iPod is linked to another iTunes music library

My daughter just purchased an iTunes Shuffle with her birthday money. We imported several CDs into the iTunes Library and successfully loaded the iPod Shuffle with about 120 songs. We then turned off the computer. The next time we attached the iPod Shuffle to the USB port, iTunes opened up and gave the following message:
The iPod is linked to another iTunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this iTunes music library and replace all existing songs on this iPod with those from this library?
Wow, that's a confusing question. I answered "no" to it initially, and the message went away, leaving my library empty. I disconnected the iPod Shuffle and then reconnected it and got the same question. This time I answered "yes" and our library is still empty. I can see all the CDs we imported in the iTunes folder and the individual songs are there as well. But for some reason, the library is not displaying them. iTunes also doesn't show the icon for the iPod when it's connected. Any ideas on how to fix this situation?

We are using this iPod on only 1 PC with 1 user with WinXP. I have been able to "file/add folder to library" to retrieve my daughter's songs. I also 'restored' the iPod to factory settings and updated it with the latest software and I did the same for the iTunes software. Everything is updated now. When I click on the button to "autofill" her iPod, I can get a few of the 118 songs in our library to download, but then I get an error messages that states, "Attempting to copy to the disk failed. An unknown error occurred. (-69)" Any ideas on what's happening here? Another I noticed that's strange is when I try to autofill the iPod, my 3.5" floppy light starts blinking. Perhaps this iPod software thinks the floppy is the iPod???

Ipad 4 won't turn on at all, and is recognized by itunes as being in recovery mode- when I try to restore it stalls on the portion stating "preparing device for restore" and on the page it says "itunes is restoring the software." Been like this for a day. I read the restore notes on apple, but this seems to be a little more unique than the standard recovery issues. Any ideas as to why I seem to keep stalling during the restore process?

Couple of things I can think of before going to the Apple store.
First, if you can, power off the iPad. Then connect it to the charger that came with the iPad and plug that into a known good wall outlet. Leave it there at least an hour then try to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
Also, you mentioned you have the latest iTunes. But it would be good to check the actual version. If the iPad is running iOS 7 you need iTunes 11.1 or later.

How do I get my iTunes library onto my new computer when my old computer died?

How can I upload my iTunes library onto my new computer from my iPod or iPad? our old computer died and now I cannot move my iTundes library from my iPod or iPhone onto the new iTunes. Anyone have a workaround for this?

It depends on what you mean by "died".
If the old computer is a Mac, you can try starting it up in "Target Disk Mode" - it doesn't attempt to start up like a computer, it pretends to be an external hard drive so it might work even if your old computer still has power (even if it's otherwise unusable). You then use a firewire cable (or or firewire to thunderbolt adapter) to plug the old computer into the new one, and can copy the music off the old hard drive.
OS X Mountain Lion: Transfer files between two computers using target disk mode
Or, if you're handy with a screwdriver, open up the old computer and take the old hard drive out. How easy that is depends on what model computer it is. You can then pop the hard drive into an "external enclosure" (about $20 from any computer parts store), plug that into your new computer's USB port and copy away - and you even get to keep using the old hard drive as an external hard drive. But that's assuming it really is the computer that "died" and not the hard drive itself.
Finally, if it's the hard drive in the old computer that died, but the computer itself is still good, you can try using a utility like DiskWarrior or TechTools Pro to try to recover the old hard drive, then use one of the above methods.

How do i transfer my itunes library onto my new computer, when on the old computer I have all the songs saved onto an external hard drive, which I still wish to use?

At the moment on my old latop I have an external hard drive with all my songs on. I need to attach the hard drive before the songs will play. Any new songs are downloaded onto the external hard drive.
How can I get the same set up on my new laptop?

When I have held the shift key down & clicked on the iTunes library that was shown on the external hard drive, it has loaded most of the older albums, however there are several albums which have not appeared on iTunes on the new laptop, but if you go into explorer and look at the folders/files on the hard drive, they do appear on the external hard drive.
I have also noticed my play lists and genres have not shown as they were on the old laptop.
Is there any way of getting a complete copy of all songs, play lists, etc. so that is does not require to hold files in two difference places, I would prefer if all the files were on the external hard drive, so I do not fill the internal hard drive with songs?

Activate account on a new computer when its impossible to deactivate the old account

Hello! I have purchased and activated Adobe Photoshop Elements on my old computer, which is now broken. This means that I can not use Photoshop on my new computer because I first have to disable the old version, which I can not do this when my old computer is broken. How do I do to use photoshop again?

Normally the software will allow you to activate on up to two computers. If you've already done so and cannot activate again you'll need to contact customer support.

Installed lion on iMac. Now our three iPhones and iPod can browse app store. But when we try to install we get an error that says cannot connect to iTunes. Same on wifi and AT

I updated my iMac to lion and set up iCloud and icloud email so I could use pages app on my 4s as well as my Mac to work on documents.I was only able to log into my new iCloud mail account once. And never again. Even with security questions. Purchased pages for Mac and 4s. After I set up I cloud/ work everything went crazy. My apple Id quit working. My security questions would not accept my answers. So I set up a new apple account. The system allowed me to set it up using the same i.d.since then I have updated everything. The systems on a 4s, two 3gs's and an iPod touch I can browse the app store and iTunes but when I try to download or update anything it accepts my password and then says " Cannot connect to store" this happens all the time on the 3gs's and iPod and about 90 percent of the time on the 4s. It happens using wifi and or 3G data network. Also my Mac and the 3gs's are now super sluggish.

HT5622 I have changed my appleID and password through my laptop. I have then changed it on my iPod Touch in settings. When I try to update my apps on the ipod touch it keeps throwing up the old appleID. How can I get the iPod Touch to use the new ID?

I have changed my appleID and password through my laptop. I have then changed them in my iPod touch settings in "iTunes & App stores" When I try to update my apps it fails because it wishes to continue to use the previous ID. What do I have to do to make it accept the new ID?

Also
If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
