Transferring an old library on my iPod touch to new iTunes library

Hi - please help me!
My laptop broke last year, I think I managed to turn it back on to deauthorize the iTunes account on it but I can't quite remember.
A few months ago I bought a new laptop (windows vista). I have all my old downloaded iTunes music and playlists on my iPod touch, but when I connect it to my new laptop I cannot add any new music that I am downloading. I need some help with transferring all my old library onto my new laptop to integrate my old and new music- until then I can't add any new music to my iPod!
I love my old music - refuse to part with it so any advice would be GREAT thank you!

1st try logging into your account and go to the option, check for avaible downloads. If that dosn't work try plugging your ipod in and it should come up with an option saying transfers songs from perd16 iPod or whatever the name of your iPod is. If none of these helps. Try emailing me at [email protected] and I will help you more there.

HT1386 trouble syncing music on ipod touch with new itunes library

I can't seem to get my ipod touch (2nd Gen) to sync with my itunes library. Had Trouble installing itunes 10.6.1 and abandoned the effort on main computer for now (out of FRUSTRATION!!!) and instead tried to sync with my sons computer. It wiped the ipod (expected that) but now when I try to sync for music it only downloads a few songs. HELP!!!! Please??? Get the message that sync could not be completed because sync failed to start. I really can't afford to pay these guys to help with a product that should work so any help would be appreciated.

Tried to sync iPod Touch, noted "new" iTunes. iPod won't sync ("iTunes is unable to load data class information from Sync Services"). Tried the fix, but iTunes hangs when I try to open Preferences.

Just tried to download new audiobooks to my iPod Touch 3, and noted new iTunes. iPod won't sync ("iTunes is unable to load data class information from Sync Services"). Tried to Reset Sync History per Support Article, but it didn't work. My purchased audiobooks are also gone from my iTunes Library. Any fix, or is my best bet to uninstall new iTunes and reload earlier version??

How to sync ipod touch to new computer itunes library after old itunes library computer crash without wiping out "library" on ipod touch

how to sync ipod touch to new computer itunes library after old itunes library lost in computer crash, without erasing ipod touch

Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

How do I sync my old ipod to my "new" iTunes library without losing the music I already have loaded onto my iPod?

Hi, so I got my new computer loaded up with iTunes and I want to be able to move my music from my old iPod to my new iTunes library without losing any of the music I already have placed on the iPod. How would I do this? And please I'm not too savvy with the new iTunes layout and such so if you could make this easy in layman's terms that would be great.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you purchased all songs in the iTunes Store, plug your iPod to your Mac or PC and iTunes will ask you to transfer purchases.
If you didn't purchase any song or you have non-purchased songs from the iTunes Store, you have to use an application to transfer the songs to iTunes. Here is a list of applications you can use for that > https://discussions.apple.com/message/11319208#11319208
