Syncing a previous iPod connected to Mac now with Windows 7 PC

I have been using my iPod with my Mac ongoing....
now I am traveling and will be taking a netbook/Windows 7. I'll be downloading iTunes into the netbook PC and then putting selected music folders from the Mac into the netbook iTunes.
My question is:
when I plug the iPod into the now-loaded netbookPC iTunes, will it cause problems of syncing the two together(not work properly, losing existing iPod music, reading song files properly,re-writing music files, etc.).
When it asks me the 1st time if I want to Sync with the netbook iTunes, how do I handle this with the least amount of potential problems ?
Thanks

So you have stuff on your iPod that right now does not also exist on the computer? If so, you need a way to move the stuff off the iPod onto the computer, correct?
If so...

Sounds like your really restored her iPod on your computer/iTunes library. She needs to restore her iPod from backup on her computer
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

I have a new computer now with windows 8. Old one was windows 7. The itunes library contains all I expect on new computer. Ipod will not sync with content. It says it is syncing but only picks up 1 tune. Solution please. I am on itunes 64 but it makes no difference from 32 bit.

See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

How do I download only selected audiobooks from iTunes to my iPod.? I don't want to download the whole library..i have an iPod classic and Mac laptop with the latest ios.

If you check songs, simply sync the entire library.
But I highly recommend (and it is far simpler) to create a playlist (or multiple playlists) and select only that playlist to sync.
Leave everything checked.
Then simply add/remove from these playlists and sync away.

Connecting a Mac to a Window's 2008 small business server

I'm looking to purchase an iMac to use at work. Everyone else in the office uses a PC and are connected to our current Window's 2008 server. I would be the only person using a Mac. Is there any way to connect a Mac to the server?

There should be no problems connecting the Mac to a Windows server for file sharing. I do it every day. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1568
If there are Windows-based programs that you will need to use, you may need to run Windows on the Mac for those programs, but there are several very practical ways to accomplish that.

I need to connect my mac air with my mac mini home computer?

I cannot find out what is needed to connect my mac air with my home computer, a mac mint

If you have a WiFi network at home, the MBA should easily connect to the Mac mini or vice-versa for anything from file sharing, oprical disc sharing, or even screen sharing. Start in System Preferences > Sharing and turn on the desired services. In that same panel you can choose whether that access is for all users or for specific user accounts on the particular system.
Then go to the other computer and open Finder then look under "shared" and select the computer you want to share. If you have activated screen sharing as well as file sharing you will actually have logon to both shares using the user account and password for the user you specified on the other machine.

HT1386 I recently purchased an album from itunes. When I subsequently sync'ed my ipod touch I ended up with all tracks of that album doubled on my ipod and I lost all my playlists. Subsequent syncing has not fixed it. Any ideas what to try?

I recently purchased an album from itunes. When I subsequently sync'ed my ipod touch I ended up with all tracks of that album doubled on my ipod and I lost all my playlists. Subsequent syncing has not fixed it. Any ideas what to try?

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.
- 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.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
You said:
No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this.
That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

Connecting mac mini with windows

I am trying to connect my mac mini with a windows laptop, to share a printer and some files. My mac mini works fine with my macbook, but when I try to connect to the laptop, or viceversa, I can get it to work. I am ussing the mini a the server so I want the laptop to share the printer, but I can find a way to make it work. How do I make my mini to recognize the windows laptop? I tried connecting both directly with a ethernet cable, but nothing. I will like them to work throgh my wireless network, but I do not know how. HELP!!!

Firstly, confirm both the Mac mini and the Windows laptop are in the same Windows Workgroup. The Windows Workgroup is set using the Directory Access utility (Applications > Utilities) under SMB/CIFS. Also, make sure Windows File Sharing is turned on and your Firewall is set correctly.
