2 iPod touches, one computer. How to keep music separate?

My daughter and I both have a ipod touch. When I sync I get her kid stuff on mine and I have to remove it, and she gets my adult stuff on hers and I have to remove it.
Can I create a profile for her and one for me so I can put kids stuff in her profile, adult stuff in mine, and some stuff in both?
If not is there an easier way to sync them?

  • HT201272 iTunes has taken my money but no song has been downloaded onto my ipod touch or computer, How do I get my song or money back?

    iTunes has taken my money but no song has been downloaded onto my ipod touch or computer, How do I get my song or money back?
    I cannot seem to trace where the purchase went but it money is gone from account and I have no song.
    Please help!

    Starting at the end:
    - When the movie or tv show does transfer onto your iphone/ipod touch you will be able to see it in the expanded view of your device in the "DEVICES" section.
    - If the files are not on your device, then:
         -- confirm you have SD or HD-SD video. HD-only content will not play and probably will not even sync. iTunes seems to reliably have SD versions with their HD distributions so this should not be an issue
         -- confirm you are synch-ing the content to the ipod device by browsing the DEVICE view's Movie or TV Show tabs to confirm the movie or episode is 'checked'
    - If the files are on the iPod and you cannot find them, check your Settings: General for Restrictions.  If you restrict, for example the movies to "G" rating. PG and higher movies will sync but you will not be able to find them on the iPod!

  • #1: Hundreds of non-itunes songs no longer play on laptop or iPod Touch! #2: How to recover music from a broken laptop to put it on my new one?

    Old problem that has never been figured out: I had hundreds of songs on my old laptop before itunes, some of them downloads from years ago and some of them ripped from CDs. After getting an ipod touch a few years ago, I put all 900 and some of the old songs plus new ones purchased from itunes on the ipod and played them for a long time (year or 2 probably?). Now, all of the sudden the non-itunes songs are grey on my computer AND ipod, and I am not able to click on them or play them. Why is this?
    New problem that I will be severely p1ssed off about if it can't be resolved: Previously mentioned laptop with all of the music on it stopped working, so I purchased a new laptop and now, the only songs that show up in my newly downloaded itunes are the purchased ones. No music from old downloads, no music from CD's, and no playlists created on my old computer. Only a list of the songs that I purchased directly from itunes. I no longer have all the CD's that funded my 950+ song collection and have no way of getting that music (or the downloaded music) back if I can't access the broken laptop. What do I do now?!

  • Running two iPods on one computer - how?

    I have an 80Gb iPod, but have increased my drive capacity to start also with a 160Gb iPod. I know I cannot have two iTunes apps running on the same drive, so how best to go about using two separate iPods on one iTunes app?
    I will have music on the 80 and collected speeches on the 160, and so I need to keep them separately synching.
    The whole point of the 500Gb outboard drive was to give me the iTunes capacity I need.My MacBook has just 160Gb, I don't want to change anything on that. i cloned it onto the LaCie drive.
    Any suggestions, please? Am I overlooking something simple here?

    Each iPod maintains its own sync settings. When the iPod is connected, adjust your sync settings to what you need and resync.

  • 2 iPads in one house how to keep them separate?

    Currently I have an iPad 3 wifi.  We have a refurbished iPad 3 with 3G being delivered Monday.  I need to know how to keep these two iPads separate and keep them from syncing with the wrong account information with the computer.  The reason I ask this is because my husband and I both have iPhone 4s and even though he has his own iTunes account, somehow after syncing his phone with the computer to transfer music onto his phone, every so often during an app update my email will show up on his phone and ask for the password associated with it.  But sometimes it show up with his email, it's never consistent.  I don't know how to correct this and don't want this same mess to happen with the iPads.  The iPad I currently have will be my husbands when the new one gets here.  I need to be able to get rid of some things he doesn't want and make sure the things I want to keep I can put on the new one.  Anyone know how I can make all this a smooth transition??

    One iTunes on one account on one computer can support multiple iPads (and other IOS devices).  The sync characteristcs (that YOU configure) can be completely different for each device.  iTunes keeps track of which is which by serial number.  You keep track of them by the names that you give to them.
    Similarly, one iTunes on one account on one computer can support multiple Apple IDs and, of course, your ID is identified (no pun intended) by your email address.  HOWEVER, if you are using multiple IDs, there is a minor PIA when you need to update apps.  If you're logged in to the "wrong" ID, it's necessary to log out and back in again.  This problem does not exist if you update the apps from the iPad as the iPad handles that for you.  You must, of course, enter the correct password.
    ALL purchases are permanently associated with whatever Apple ID was used to originally obtain them.  Apps can not be updated without knowledge of that ID and, more importantly, its password.  Apple IDs can not be merged and purchases can not be transferred from one ID to another.

    There is no limit to how many iPods can run on a single PC. Or how many PCs a single iPod can connect to. Either by Apple design or by any legal issues.

  • 2 ipod minis, one computer

    My husband and I each have an ipod mini and only one computer, do we both need to download the software that comes with them or does only one of us need to download the cd?

    You only need one iteration of the Updater software and iTunes on the PC.

  • I just purchased a new ipod touch so now I have two. I do not want the second ipod touch to sync the same as the old ipod touch - 2 people with 2 different music preferences. How do I keep them separate.

    I just purchased a new ipod touch so now I have two. I do not want the second ipod touch to sync the same as the old ipod touch - 2 people with 2 different music preferences. How do I keep them separate.

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program lke one of those discussed here:

    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right-clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
    - Restore the iPod from that backup. That should also get you the update.
    - If in the USA, you can also redownload most iTunes purchases by:

    - Unless you also have the originals of the  music (CDs), you do not have right to the music.
    - If they were purchased in iTunes and you can transfer them by the following.  You must know and have control of  the iTunes account and password.
