How do I sync an ipod to another itunes account without losing content on my ipod?

Question

How do I sync my ipod to my new laptop (on a new itunes)without completely erasing the music and videos that I have on it? Is there a way I can save all the music I have on the ipod now somewhere onto the computer, erase what's on the ipod, and later add the files back into the new itunes? Or is there an easier way of doing things? Please help, itunes sucks and I have no idea how to do this!

Answer 1

Just dont sync your ipod.



Connect your ipod to whatever computer you are using it with now and and click manually manage music.



Once it is manually managed you can use your ipod on a 100 diff computers if you want with as many diff itunes accounts as you want.



If you need to transfer your music and videos from your ipod to your new computer or vice versa just get a program called Music Rescue by kennettnet. You can get this for free at download.com. It will scan your itunes library and your ipod and tell you which songs are on your ipod but not in your itunes library. You can then choose which songs and videos you want to copy to your computer and add them to itunes. It is safe with no spyware or anything.





If you are going to use your ipod on several computers then just dont sync. You just drag and drop the songs and playlists you want onto your ipod from itunes. If you want to delete a song then you just right click that song in your ipod and delete it.

An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes account at a time. once you switched to a new iTunes account or a new computer. You have to authorize your iPod to it at first, then you can upload music and video from the new iTunes to your iPod. But this way will overwrite the original files on iPod with the new iTunes. You may try this iPod transfer, it can help you copy files from iPod to computer for backup, you can also use it as an iTunes alternative to upload music and video. It will not erase your original iPod files. It's safe and works pretty well for me.

Download a program called music rescue. It has saved my life. It will rip all the music and videos of your ipod and put them on your computer. After doing this I would suggest setting your ipod to manually manage so that you can decide what goes on your ipod and when. And if you have it set to manual you'll be able to plug your ipod into anyone's computer who has itunes and snag songs from their libraries without disrupting their library or your ipod.
