Syncing a new iPod Touch in a different iTunes library

I just bought an iPod Touch (4g) this afternoon and now I'm ready to set it up on my Macbook.
I already have an iphone 3g synced up to my itunes library. But now I want to create a new library for the ipod so i don't have to keep checking and unchecking songs, apps, etc... when i go to sync either one.
In other words, I want to keep them separated! So, I successfully created and named a new itunes library by pressing the OPTION button and opening itunes.
Now, the library is blank...so how do I get the songs from my ORIGINAL library into the ipod touch library???
Is it as simple as copying and pasting the music folders from the ORIGINAL into the new ipod touch libraries' folder??? Or do I have to redownload everything and insert all my cds again an rip away?
I doubt that I have to do this since I'm using the same account and username. Just want to make sure before I set up the Touch that this is the proper procedure and save me the agony of screwing it up
If anyone knows how to do this, I would appreciate the tip. Thank You!

Good idea. How would I deal with Apps though? If I wanted different Apps on my Touch, won't I have to check mark and then uncheck mark for each device??
I only want certain Apps on the Touch. Can I make playlists for Apps too? Anyway, thanks for your help roaminggnome. I appreciate it.

    We have itunes music on a computer, an ipod nano, and a new ipod touch under two different accounts. How can we combine the music from both accounts to one device?

    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.

  • How can i sync my new ipod touch to a mac ibook

    I have an i new ipod touch and have a mac ibook g4 with an operating system of 10.4.11 and for some reason it won't let me sync my new ipod touch to my itunes. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Yo need to upgrade OSX to 10.5.8. The system requirements for the new 4G iPod Tough are:
    System requirements
    USB 2.0
    iTunes 10.1 or later6
    Mac: Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional (SP3) or later
    Broadband Internet access required; fees may apply.
    You can get it on eBay, maybe Craig's list and from the Apple store. However, it is not offered in the on-line Apple store so you will have to call. The price is $129.

  • Ok, when i try to sync my new ipod touch to my computer, it says unable to connect for unknown reasons, and as a benefit, it shows the songs as faded in the list and therefore unplayable. how do i fix this problem?

    as stated in the title, i when i try to sync my new ipod touch to my computer it says its unable to connect due to unkown reasons. the music is listed on my touch as there, but faded (minus a selected few songs) and therefore are unplayable. i have no idea where to start, i figured downloading the newest itunes update, however, it no longer shows up when i start it up. confused.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reboot the computer
    - Try another cable and USB port
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    -  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Windows 8.1, iOS 8.1.3, Itunes 12.1 64 bit, constantly get 'waiting for changes to apply' when trying to sync my new ipod touch

    Windows 8.1, iOS 8.1.3, Itunes 12.1 64 bit, constantly get 'waiting for changes to apply' when trying to sync my new ipod touch. Downloaded latest version f itunes, and ipod software up to date. Really frustrated I can't sync my music! Please can someone help me

    Im having huge issues after updating to 12.1 on Win 8.1  x64. Choppy playback and so on.
    Try this since it helps in most situtation :
    Remove itunes but keep library files. Then download it again and install it.
    Also most likely you will have to restore ipod touch. I restored my iPhone 5 to remove waiting for changes to apply and Error 54.
    my iPad air still isnt restored (cant do it now) and it sometimes does same like iPhone waiting for changes to apply. And gives error 54 but sync DOES GET COMPLETED.
    Also may sound stupid but try to use USB 2.0 Ports. Not 3.0. I have troubles when using 3.0

  • HT2905 Many (most) of my songs in my library have multiplied. I now have doubles and triples of my music. I don't know why it has done this or how to fix this problem. This is a new problem since I synced a new ipod touch this week.

    Many(most) of my songs in my library have multiplied. I now have doubles and triples of my music. This is a new problem that started this week when I synced my new ipod touch. Why did this happen and how do I get rid of it. I have around 1400 duplicates in my library now.

    I suspect in this case the problem is caused by your library and device having downloaded independent copies of the media, so that when the library connects to the device it copies over your purchases not realizing they are already in the library.
    When deduping use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)

  • Has anyone tried syncing the new iPod Touch 4 with OS 10.4.11?

    I know the "official" Apple spec's state the new iPod Touch 4 are
    for it to sync with OS 10.5.8 and use iTunes 10 .... but has anyone been
    successful in using the new iPod Touch 4 with OS 10.4.11 and iTunes 9.2.1?

    Does iTunes see the iPod? If not
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    or
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    You need iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer
    The iPod touch uses different drivers than the Nano
