Re: [Apple iPod] How do you sync on different computers, without erasing all fil

I had always thought you could not sync a iPod against different libraries.
If you plug a iPod into a library it's not registered against then it will
offer to clear the iPod load that library.

I believe what you will need to do is add the files from the 2nd PC to the
iTunes library on the first PC and then sync.
