ipod touch & itunes onto new computer

Please help.

I have installed itunes onto my new laptop but my library is on my old laptop which I have backed up on an external hard drive.

If I plugged in my ipod touch into the new laptop itunes when it syncs will it wipe all that is on the ipod touch since my libabry is empty on the new laptop ?

I have it set to manually manage music etc.

Do I just need to copy the HardDrive itunes library to the new itunes or is there an alternative ?

Do I just have to use the old laptop for itunes ?

Thanks

If it's set up manually then it won't wipe everything off the Ipod Touch. I recently had the same thing, new laptop and therefore new and empty Itunes. I just transferred everything into the new library via the external hardrive (simply copy and pasted my previous Itunes library onto it) & then just synced it when I added new music and everything was the same . Even all the App data which was worried about losing.

Hi, this didn't work out for me
I copied my whole library (iTunes folder) manually to my new pc, activated the iTunes library and adjusted the itunes media folder location. Nevertheless I ended up with hundreds of exclamation marks and iTunes deleted some of my songs from my iPhone. But, I finally managed my itunes library transfer using a software called Tuneswift.

Hope its helpful for other people experiencing the same difficulties.
