i-pod help!

My itunes library is on my old laptop, which is pretty much dead. I can plug it in and it woeks very slowly.

I got a new laptop and an itunes gift card, so i installed itunes on my new computer last night, plugged in my ipod and it told me that since my ipod was already "synched" with another computer, I would have to erase it and start from scratch, except for the songs purchased through i-tunes.

Any advice? What can I do? I have so many songs on my i-pod!

I'm not positive, but I think all you have to do is "authorize" your new computer. That's all that I did when I got my new laptop.

Once in your itunes music menu, open the "store" drop down window. Then click on "authorize computer."
