The message indicates you are trying to automatically sync to other than the one syncing computer/iTunes library you can have. If you did not switch computer/iTunes libary then there was a problem with the computer. You have to choices:

- Synce using the manual method

iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod

Note yo can only sync music and videos.

- Make this computer/iTunes library your sysincing computer/itunes library

It looks like many people have had this problem FOR A LONG TIME...I also lost all of my ringtones when I D/L ONE ringtone.

There must be a way to do it without losing everything.

I DON'T SEE A SINGE SOLUTION TO THS PROBLEM.

Why would you want to lose all others at anytime?

I see things like "this helped me". WHAT HELPED YOU???

I thought Windows had problems, but they are microscopic compared to this inane thing.

I've spent days trying to D/L a ringtone and now I don't have any...

VERY FRUSTRATED.

WHERE ARE TH ANSWERS??

WARNING - DO NOT install SharePod unless you have the time to spend the entire next day trying to remove it and repair the damage. That link is only for a TRIAL session - so it's not free. It completely removed my home page and the only way I could fix that was to Uninstall and Reinstall my Norton - Twice. Their software may work - but I refuse to do business with any company that operates like this. In hindsight, I should have just paid Apple the $20 they wanted to help me with my IPod to begin with.
