Hello Zach,
There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Have a look at the article linked below. Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Method two is to set your preferences so each iPod is updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look anyway and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer

Help wanted - step by step process on how to use two ipods on one computer

I'm just in the process of getting an ipod (waiting on delivery!) and want to know how it is possible to have two ipods using the same computer but synchronizing differently. I don't want to risk losing my partners music (he'll be very upset!) and I don't want to end up with his music on my ipod. I'd appreciate it if someone could give me a step by step guide or tell me where the best place to look for the answer is. Is it possible somehow to have two different libraries on one computer? Is that how it works?

Pay attention to the links in blue to the right of the screen after reading the text in the article.

How can I use two Ipods on one computer.

I was wondering if it is possible to use 2 Ipods on one computer without having to reload all of the music to the new library.

If you are adding a second iPod for your own use, just connect the new iPod to your computer and follow the on screen instructions. It will update from your existing library. Depending on the size of your library and the type of iPod you choose you can have it update all songs and playlists, selected playlists only or you can manage it manually
If the iPods belong to different users then there are actually a few methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
Just to summarise what's in the link above which is a little out of date:
Method one is to have individual Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you completely separate iTunes Music folders and libraries.
Method two is to set your preferences so that any or all of iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library:
Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. You can read more about playlists at these links:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Another option when using a single library is to set any or all of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod

Can someone tell me how to use 2 ipods on one computer

well when anyone can ill be waiting for the answer i want to know cuz since im buying the ipod video i want to see if i can use the same computer that im uploading stuff to my ipod mini

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.

Set up the second exactly the same way as you set up the first. If iTunes is already installed, it doesn't need to be installed again.

Can I use two ipods on one PC?

Hi, I have my own ipod, but would like to get another for my boyfriend but he doesn't have a PC, therefore everything would have to be done from mine, including different albums etc. I am sure I can do this but how does it work?
Cheers

When using restart firefox you get a folder on the desktop called old firefox data i need to know how to use this folder to get my old firefox preferences back

i've recently reformatted my computer and i've taken the old firefox folder from before the reformat and put it on the new one but i dont know how to use it to restore my old settings
by the way im not using a different operating system im running windows 7 like i was previously

Here's my suggested profile resurrection procedure using the old profile folder that's inside the Old Firefox Data folder.
'''Overview'''
These are the steps:
# Create a new Firefox profile
# Remove everything from that new profile folder
# Copy in everything from the old profile folder
'''Create a new Firefox profile (Windows)'''
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
firefox.exe -P
''Note: Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.''
Click the Create Profile button and skip the option to change the folder location. Then select that new profile in the dialog and start Firefox.
'''Open the New Profile folder in Windows Explorer'''
Firefox in the new profile should look like a factory fresh installation. Open the Troubleshooting Information page using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* Help menu > Troubleshooting Information
In the first table, click the "Show Folder" button. Firefox will launch your brand new profile folder in Windows Explorer.
Leaving this folder open, switch back to Firefox, and Exit. This will leave that profile folder open in Windows Explorer.
'''Copy Old Data in Place of New'''
In that new profile folder, select all the contents and delete.
Leaving that window open, open or switch over to your Old Firefox Data folder. Drill down into your old profile folder. At this level you should see a folder named bookmarkbackups among other things.
Select everything (Ctrl+a) and Copy (either right-click > Copy or Ctrl+c).
Switch to the empty new profile folder in other window and Paste (either right-click > Paste or Ctrl+v). This may take a minute since some of the files are large.
'''Start Firefox'''
Firefox should start up in that new profile with the resurrected old profile data. Success?

How to use two harddrives on one Macbook Pro to store Itunes music

I have 2 harddrives in my macbook pro and have more music than can be on one drive. I Know that I can get Itunes to point to either drive but not to both at the same time. Does anyone know how to accomplish using both drives "seamlessly" with one copy of Itunes on one Macbook Pro, please? I do not intend to swap drives. Both would be on at all times.

I keep mine on multiple internal drives by completely disabling iTunes automatically managing music for me, but if you do that you are also responsible for keeping things organized yourself. There's various other advantages and disadvantages to doing it that way but it isn't for people who don't like tinkering with how things work but just want it to do it for them.
You can tell iTunes to change where to store media and it will put new media in that location from that point on unless you do a consolidate/organize in which case you're in trouble if it can't put it all together in one place.

How to use two harddrives on one PC to store Itunes music

I have 13,000 songs in Itunes, all in Apple lossless format. The main harddrive is full. I have a 400Gb external drive also. I can get Itunes to point to either drive but not to both at the same time. Does anyone know how to accomplish using both drives "seamlessly" with one copy of Itunes on one PC, please? I do not intend to swap drives. Both would be on at all times.
Sincerely, Bo Andersen

You might find a search for "Junctions" useful - only for Windows 2000 / XP and NTFS partitions.
Junctions are 'transparant' shortcuts which can make other folders/drives appear as if they are on the one you are viewing. So you can make drive K: look like a folder in the My Music/iTunes folder...
You can even make drive K: be your iTunes folder - handy if you have multiple users - see another post re this.
