Tell me if I am understanding correctly:

1st you synced your ipod with computer 1
2nd you are trying to sync your ipod with computer 2 and it will not let you

If I understand your situation correctly then what you are trying to do cannot be done with itunes unless you associate your ipod with computer 2 (and loose all of your music currently on the ipod).

If I got this totally wrong give me more information so can better help you.

If you don't care about the music I would try to restore to factory settings.

Be careful if you decide to restore your ipod. I just did a restore on my ipod (due to syncing problems caused by 7.7 upgrade) and while it did restore my ipod to factory settings, it also deleted almost all of my songs from my +itunes library+. Out of 111 songs -- 12 purchased songs and 12 uploaded from cd's songs synced to my ipod. The remaining songs are nowhere to be found on my desktop. They show up in my library w/a '!' before the song and when I click on the song it comes up w/'original file could not be located. would you like to locate?' No matter where I look I cannot find my songs.

Why would syncing my ipod delete my songs from my library?
