Hi I have an iPod touch, and I recently got a new laptop. I have put all the music and films from my old computer onto my new laptop and imported it to iTunes. I want to use my laptop as the one I sync my iPod with, but it says it will erase everything on my iPod. I’m OK with it erasing my music and films, I can just put them back on, but will it erase my apps? If so how do I put them on my laptop?
Thanks.
If you directly click sync, it will erase all non-purchased music on your iPod and replace with the content of this new iTunes library.
But here is a solution. All you need is to get all existing music/videos from your iPod to this new computer and iTunes. Simply use this popular program called Tansee iPod Transfer

The whole process is easy and safe.
With just a few simple clicks, it will help you copy all videos/songs from iPod back to your selected folder on the new computer, and then you can easily add those songs back to iTunes.
More importantly, this won’t overwrite any original files on your iPod. And all song names are preserved.
In this case, all songs/videos (both new and old) are on your iTunes library that you can sync with whenever you wish to without deleting any files.
It even has step-by-step guide on the whole process:
