Set your iPod to manually manage music;
But the good way is to transfer all existing songs/videos from your iPod back to your new computer and iTunes. Simply use this handy transfer program called Tansee iPod Transfer http://www.gutensoft.com/Utilities/Tansee-iPod-Transfer.htm
Many of my friends are using it for its easy and safe transfer.
With just a few simple clicks, it will help you copy all videos/songs from iPod back to your selected folder on your new computer, and then you can easily add those files back to iTunes.
More importantly, this won’t overwrite any original files on your iPod. And all song titles are preserved.
The SAME thing happened to me, and I did some searching and found that by pressing control and shift right after you plug it in hold it down until the ipod is recognized and VOILAA. It doesn’t sync :]
