Trying to sync my ipod music to my new laptop and it won't let me?

if you have no music or anything in your itunes library and sync your ipod, it will erase everything you had. but if you have music on your itunes library and sync it, it will erase everything on your ipod and replace it with the new music/pictures/videos you have in your itunes library now

Do you have the old computer with the music on it? If so you can use an external hard-drive or flash-drive to transfer from there. If not, there is an option under the File menu that should say "Transfer Purchases From iPod." Click that after connecting your iPod to the computer WITHOUT syncing it. That will transfer any music that you purchased through iTunes. If you don't have the original computer, then there is no other way I know of to transfer any music not purchased through iTunes.
