Are you sure you want to remove existing music, movies, and TV shows from this iPod and sync with this iTunes library?

I have the same problem. Being a satisfied Apple user for over twenty yearsm I can now say that I am completely disillusioned with the company. I spend hours and hours trying to figure out what used to be dead simple.

Now that I have iPads, iPods and iPhones, things are increasingly complicated. I use separate libraries for each device, but all music is stored in th main media folder. The devices work fine, until I try to update contents. I keep having to delete everything and start again. So, if I add one new item I seem to have to delete everything and then re-load, which takes forever.

The devices are capable of syncing with only one iTunes library at a time. So choosing to sync with a library will require removing associations from other librarys. If it is the only computer you have ever conducted a sync with, it may be due to an update to the itunes software that it thinks it is a new library.

Prior to syncing, just transfer your purchases (menu selection), to copy any purchased content from the device to the new iTunes library.

Have you ever synced the iPod with this library before?

I have had the iPad for over a year and have only used this computer with which to sync. A friend pf mine has an identical problem.

Now a new problem!

I have just deleted some songs and added a few more. i Have plugged in the iPad. The sync goes up to step 3 then finishes. It does not make the changes to the music.

I have now unchecked "sync only checked songs & videos" and it works. However, all my songs were checked. Go figure!
