Help
I have two computers with iTunes. All the music from Computer 1 has been downloaded to my iPod. I would like to download all that music onto Computer 2. However, Computer 2 has newer music on it that is not on my iPod/Computer 1. I can't figure out how to get the music from my iPod onto Computer 2 without erasing the new music. Suggestions? Thanks.
PS: Both of computers are on Mac OS.

Well due to Apple's security they don't like friends to share music so either use one computer or the other you sadly cannot use both at this time without jail breaking your iPod but I'm not going to tell you how to do that to avoid you from breaking your iPod and being mad at me so use one computer or the other...

If your music was purchased from the iTunes store, simply re-download all your purchases onto computer 2, for free. Log in to the iTunes store, click on "Purchased" in the Quick Links section, click on "All Songs" and then on "Download All" cloud icon at the bottom right of your screen.
If not, see: Copy songs/Playlists between two Macs over wireless network
Another alternative is to turn on "Home Sharing". That way all music from computers with Home Sharing activated is available to all Apple devices AS LONG AS THEY ARE CONNECTED TO THE NETWORK. This does not transfer the music between devices.
