2 devices/1 iTunes

Device 1: iPod 1st Generation, using iOS 3.1 (yeah, I know!)
Have had since new but in recent years that operating system has limited what apps could be loaded. Hence, many apps on this iPod simply have not been updated for years.
I just purchased (used)
Device 2: iPhone 4s, loaded with iOS 7.0.4
I'd love to be able to utilize the updated functions and services of the updated versions of apps I already have, but I don't want to disable those same apps currently loaded on the iPod (I plan to continue to use that device).
I suppose I could create a second Apple/iTunes account, keeping the old stuff on one, the updated apps on another, but is there another way to have different versions of the same iOS apps on iTunes; an older one that only works with iOS 3.1 and a new one that can be updated for iOS 7?
Not sure if the fact I can sync the iPhone via iCloud while the iPod needs a USB cable makes any difference but right now I'm keeping my iTunes software and Library on a MacBook Pro 4,1 and manage everything from there.
- thanks

Use your own computer logins and AppleIDs.

Ipod touch no longer showing up as a device in itunes

My ipod touch (4th gen) is no longer visible as a device in iTunes. This is a new development (it was fine the last time I connected my iPod to my PC about three weeks ago). When I plug it into the PC (directly into a PC USB port) the PC beeps (confirming connection) and the device shows up in Windows explorer. But the device is no longer recognized in iTunes (I have version 11.3.0.54). Any help/suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:

My iPhone 3Gs is now no longer a recognised device on iTunes after I downloaded the new iTunes with iCloud software, but it does recognise my iPad2??

My iPhone 3Gs is now no longer a recognised device on iTunes after I downloaded the new iTunes with iCloud software, but it does recognise my iPad2??
I run both Mac and a PC and have iTunes on both, which has previously recognised my iPhone. I had updated my Mac with the new iTunes software with iCloud and updated my iPad2 just yesterday. I then wanted to do the same with my iPhone today, but my Mac wouldn't recognise the device so I tried it on my PC, which recognised the phone but told me I needed to update my iTunes and this in turn wanted to update my iPhone software. After completing all this and restarting, my iPhone now shows the iTunes icon with the USB plug pointing towards it, obviously wanting me to plug it in to my computer to re-connect with iTunes, but now neither of my computers recognise my iPhone and my PC states an 'Unknown Device'. My Mac doesn't even see it. Can anyone help as I really need to get my phone working?? Thanks

Hold down the Home and Power button for 20 seconds. And try to update again.

Howdy nzh50,
It sounds like you have a device associated in iTunes with your Apple ID that you would like to remove from your account. This article should help you out there:
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
Removing an associated device or computer from an Apple ID
To remove a device or computer from your Apple ID:
Open iTunes.
Sign in to your Apple ID by choosing Store > Sign In from the iTunes menu.
Choose Store > View My Account from the iTunes menu.
From the Account Information screen, click Manage Devices.
Click the Remove button next to the device name you would like to unassociate.
Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90-day timer. You must wait 90 days from the day the device was first associated with your Apple ID before it can be associated with another Apple ID.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

TS4062 I can't sync music on my computer to my ipod touch; the ipod shows up under Devices in itunes but does not show buttons (Summary etc.) when I click on it. Suggestions?

I can't sync music already on my computer to my ipod touch; the ipod shows up under Devices in itunes but does not show buttons (Summary etc.) when I click on it. I've read through all the Help tutorials but none of them say what to do if the sync options don't pop up when you highlight the device. I've already spent way too much time trying to figure this out and it's driving me crazy! Thanks for any help you can offer.

This is correct. It will not show in finder. It is not an external storage device.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases. Open itunes connect ipod, do not sync, click File>Transfer Purchases

How do I make an iPhone 3G an authorized device on iTunes?

My kids were handed down an old iPhone 3G with no phone service so they could use it like an iPod.
I signed out of the previous owner's AppleID account and signed in with my AppleID on the phone, but I can't get to any of my iTunes songs. When I go to Manage Devices in iTunes on my computer, the phone doesn't show up there.
Some directions said to enable automatic downloading, but I can't find where to do that on the iPhone 3.

Sorry, but you can't. If the iPhone has Find My iPhone set up on it and you had the Apple ID and password used, you could lock or erase the iPhone, but there's no way you can monitor the iPhone other than iMessages (for which, again, you would need the Apple ID and password being used). Nor can you turn off any feature without your son or ex-wife knowing about it since you would need physical access to the phone to set up the restrictions.
This is an issue you will need to negotiate with your ex-wife, I'm afraid.
Regards.

Have the oldest ipod touch. . daughter forgot password to enable it. It's now been disabled for 22K minutes. I'm trying to reset as a new device, but iTunes is telling me it can't do anything w/it b/c it's "disabled". Does anyone know a way around this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can't doing anything abouty this, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

IPhone 4s won't sync to iMac, isn't recognized as a device in iTunes or iPhoto.

my iPhone 4s is not recognized as a device in iTunes or on my iMac. Doesn't show up in Wifi cloud sync as a device either. It's charging now via my iMac so the USB cord is good. I am on iTunes v.11.1.1 and Mac OS X v. 10.8.5. All other SW updates complete on iPhone and iMac. Also, when connected to iMac, iPhoto doesn't pop up asking to import the photos, which I need to do because I have so many on my iPhone and my memory is almost all used up.
Also, I think the iPhone is the issue NOT needing to uninstall and reinstall iTunes because of the memory issue and I have had the issue of the sound not working when playing back video and the sound has had weird issues which I've read about and think about a month or 2 ago I triggered where ther is a shut off safety precaution for when moisture might be in the iphone after I ran with it one night and wondering if the connector where the USB is plugged in is the problem. However, that wouldn't explain why it doesn't show up as a device in my iTunes when used as WiFi and not via a USB cable right?
I am afraid if I go back into the Apple store even though this one was replaced in March they will charge me to replace it again and then the next time I can upgrade to get an iPhone 5 will be extended (again).
Next I'll go checkon the support and whether I bought the extended warranty. Since this is the 1st replacement from my first iPhone 4s, would a 2nd one keep the same Apple warranty on the device or is it the same length?
I cannot afford to replace it now if they will change me for it, but I also but wish they'd allow me upgrade since I was due to be upgraded in Oct. 2013 and now it's not until March of 2014! So, if i have to replace it with this a 2nd time, would my upgrade be pushed to OCTOBER of 2014? I don't recall their terms since I haven't had to replace mine so many times before, so haven't paid attention.
Going to research T's and C's of Apple Care/warranty and extended Apple care now.

Another thank you here ... I was ready to go to the dark side!!

My ipads and iphone are listed and included in my 5 devices in iTunes. But it should only be computers (my desktop and laptop). If I deauthorize them, so that I can add another laptop, how to I keep the music/purchases from itunes on them?

I would like to add another laptop to my authorized devices in iTunes store. But it says I have 5 devices already. 4 of these devices are actually iphones, ipads or itouch. I am afraid to deauthorize them so I can add a laptop. It will take the music/apps away, won't it? How do you include an itouch/ipad/iphone in your iTunes account without listing it as an authorized device? And where is the '10 devices' coming from? vs. 5? Very confused
We need to use the following devices with the same iTunes id:
2 laptops (soon to be three)
1 desktop
2 ipads
2 iphones
2 itouches
Is this possible?
To make things more complicated, a few of these devices will also use a DIFFERENT apple id for the cloud/mobile me.
But we all use the same iTUNES id for apps/ music in the family.
Thanks so much for your help!

There is no list of authorized computers. Where do you see a list?
You must be talking about something other than authorization. Please clarify.
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization

How do I sync multiple devices on iTunes without apps that are only on an iPad Air not sync on other devices?

How do I sync multiple devices on iTunes (iPad Air & iPhone 5) without apps that are only on an iPad Air not syncing on my iPhone 5? I have apps on the iPad that I do not want on the iPhone, but when I sync my iPhone I have apps that are on the iPad sync to it also. How do I fix this so only the apps/data on each device sync to it?

Settings
iTUnes and app store
turn off automatic downloads for apps
Then what you buy on one device only goes onto another if you want it to

Everything is updated!! iPhone, iPad, iTunes and MacBook Pro... All I am trying to do is drag content from my iTunes Library to the devices. iTunes gets stuck EVERY single time! What usually triggers the Non-Sense is when I am adding a 2nd file!

Everything is updated!! iPhone, iPad, iTunes and MacBook Pro... All I am trying to do is drag content from my iTunes Library to the devices. iTunes gets stuck EVERY single time! What usually triggers the Non-Sense is when I am adding a 2nd file!
Why does iTunes SUCK??
1) Many items greyed out in the menu bar, for well over 2 years, maybe more!
2) I Can't drag more than one piece of content from your iTunes library to any device (iPhone, iPad)
If you do it gets stuck for HOURS and HOURS in "Preparing To Update" and the little activity circle never completes, ever!!
I used to be able to drag over 1000 tunes, movies, etc. go have breakfast come back and it would all be on my device!!
Can't do it anymore, one song at a time, maybe an album at a time, or one movie, and that is it!!
If you do a 2nd item the other items stop loading and never continue!!
This is so BAD, I don't understand how they don't have this fixed yet!!
Please tell me I am not the only one!!
...and If I am tell me how to fix it!
Very appreciated,
Joe

With the limit of 5 devices per itunes account, I am wondering if I can have 2 itune accounts on the same computer? We have many idevices and I am not sure how to manage them all.

With the limit of 5 devices per itunes account, I am wondering if I can have more than 1 itunes account on my computer?

The limit of five applies only to computers, not to iOS devices, if that's what you're concerned with. But yes, you can have content from up to five different iTunes Store accounts on any given computer or iOS device.

Often, when I connect my iPod Touch to the PC, instead of it showing up as a device in iTunes, a window pops up that says I have connected a camera, and asks what to do. It is really annoying when this happens, because sometimes I cannot update my iPod

Often, when I connect my iPod Touch 2G to the PC, instead of showing up as a device on iTunes, a pop-up appears that says I have connected a camera and asks what I want to do. This device doesn't have a camera in it. When this happens, (not always)I can't update my iPod, no matter how many times I try to connect it. I have an old Nano that has never had this problem at all. Can anyone tell me what to do about this?

Apple tv not in devices in itunes

This seems to be a common theme and I've been scouring forum posts and have found similar problems but thought I'd ask here as well:
We have a 2nd gen ATV that has worked fine for almost a year, with the occasional hiccup that was usually solved by resetting or unplugging power source and plugging back in. In the last week, we have not even been able to use it for most things....here's are the problems:
-Netflix streaming and iTunes all work fine on our iMac and MacBooks
-we can access all of our iTunes music on ATV
-home sharing is ON
-no access to any of the general or network settings on Apple TV
-no access to "sign out" of netflix on ATV
-we can stream Netflix shows and movies for exactly 2 minutes, then it shuts off, back to menu where you push play on ATV
-we can watch previews of Itunes movies, but we can't access the rent feauture
-we can watch previously purchased Itunes shows
& probably the source of out problem - Apple TV is not showing up as a device in Itunes on the main iMac.
When we try to connect it in Itunes we get the error 15006, which I've searched on here and found no solutions.
I'm at the end of my rope - we are not techies by any means, we have an all Apple household and shut off cable and now we literally can't watch any TV at all....I know Apple will try and tell me to buy Extended care if I call Support, which is ridiculous when this stupid thing only cost $99 to begin with....should I jjst buy a Roku? Is this a fixable problem? Do we need more bandwidth? Why can't the computer connect to the ATV??
Please help!!

If you can't get into the settings on ATV then I would suggest disconnecting it and restoring in iTunes
