Can I avoid re-syncing my iPod once synced with an old Mac to a new Mac ?

So, I recently bought a new Mac, the problem is that I had my iPod synced with iTunes on my old Mac. I would like to know if there is a way to transfer the let's say ownership of iTunes (of my iPod) to my new Mac. Instead of having to sync my iPod with my new Mac. Because, as you know an iPhone, an iPod or even an iPad can only be synced with a computer at a time. I mean is there a way to avoid to have to re-sync my iPod with my new Mac.


Thank you!

Use Migration Assistant to copy all your user data (including iTunes Library) from old computer to new computer.

Then the iPod will sync as if connected to old computer.

Never plug it into new Mac.

However, that's not really what you want.

You don't want to erase and reinstall everything.

See my first paragraph.
