I have ITunes loaded on two computers and want to sync my IPod with some music and movies from both computers. Not having much success. Any suggestions?

If the iTunes Libraries on each computer are identical, then simply authorize each computer being sure to use the same Apple ID. You can then sync the Touch with each computer, after which you need to be sure each computer has an identical library. If you sync only on one computer, then you should copy the updated library to the other computer.

In case Kappy's message isn't clear you need the same set of database files on both computers, not just the same media files. The way I manage this is with SyncToy 2.1. In my case I'm using a computer at home, another at work and a portable drive moving between them. SyncToy helps me keep the three copies updated and working as mutual backups to each other. I can sync my devices from any copy of the library. I could even hook up the portable version to any computer running the same build of iTunes and update devices if I wanted.
