First of all, you should download floola. MUCH less hassle than iTunes.

As for the automatic syncing, its in the settings on iTunes. Unfortunately, your ipod has to be plugged in in order to change the settings. Which means you will lose your music once again. Sorry. But it if you do get itunes to read your ipod. On the left side click on your ipod. You know under library and games and that good stuff. Settings for you ipod will come up on the main screen and you can choose to manually manage your music, pictures, etc.

good luck! i`ve been through the same thing when i got a new computer.
