How do i register a second ipod touch to my computer

how can i add a second ipod touch to my computer and itunes account and why do i have to enter a card number to verify my itunes account

Hello Orlosky,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Not sure as to how that happened, because there is no limit to how many devices you can sync to one computer. To sync to the 2nd iPod, simply hook it up, go through the registration and setup process, and then sync away.
There are several ways of managing multiple iPods with one computer. I think your best option would be to check out this Apple support document. Hope it helps.

TS2446 How do I unlock my daughters iPod touch with no computer? Please help!

HOw do I unlock my daughters iPod touch with no computer? Please help me!

If she set up Find My iPod on it before this happened, follow the instructions listed under "If you don't have access to a computer" here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212. Otherwise, you would have to use a computer to restore it by following one of the other two solutions listed at the bottom of the article.

HT1212 how do i change my "diabled" ipod touch to another computer?

I have an ipod touch that I couldn't remember the password, so after several attempts it is now disabled. I can't plug it in to the computer that I started it up on because I don't have access to that computer anymore. How do I start over this ipod to my new computer and itunes?

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

How to transfer ratings from the iPod touch to the computer?

Hi. I've rated a bunch of songs (star rating) on the iPod touch. How can I transfer these ratings onto the library that is on my computer?
Thanks

I don't sync at all because I use multiple computers, so syncing is not convenient. I just hate how you can only stick to one computer and not switch to manual without losing all your songs.
I don't sync to any playlist or checked songs. Wouldn't it be easier to have your iPod sync to a playlist on your computer specifically for iPod only songs, instead of unchecking all the songs you don't want?

How do I get internet for iPod Touch 4G through Computer/Laptop?

Ok well i heard that its possible to connect an iPod Touch 4G to a Computer or laptop with Internet and then have internet on the iPod so is that possible?

If the desktop or laptop is running Windows 7 then the native hosted network functionality built-in to Windows 7 Ultimate/Enterprise/Pro/Home Premium that turns a wireless (WiFi) equiped machine into a wireless router maybe an option.
Look at using either Connectify or Virtual Router (both free) that provide a nice GUI to configre the function. Note this only supports WPA2 encryption (very very important) by design.
http://www.connectify.me/

There is also mhotspot which does something similar.

IMHO though a wireless router is your best bet if its in your budget. That way all of your wireless devices can access the internet wirelessly and not dependent on any other computer on your network.

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.

How can i tell if my ipod touch is second or third generation?

How can I tell if my iPod Touch is third generation or second generation? I thought it was third, but now not sure. The model number is PB531LL if that helps.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353
If it is 8gb then it is not a third gen.
Look at the link above to identify your ipod.

TS1591 I just bought a second iPod touch (4th gen), but when I connect the second iPod to my computer it is not recognizing it. How can I have two iPod's set up????

So I had an iPod touch and everything with it is fine. I just bought a second one for my daughter...exactly the same as my iPod. This second one was bought used, but was reset completely before I plugged it into my computer. My problem is... my iTunes does not recognize the second touch as a device! I can't get it to sync, so I can't get any music or anything onto the device. How can I have two iPod touches on my computer? Is there something special that I have to do to get my computer to recognize this second touch as a different device?? PLEASE HELP!!!

- If you are using the same USB port and the same cable and have iTunes version 10.7 or later on the computer there is something wrong with the iPod.
- Does the second iPod work?
- Does it charge?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

How do I set up a second iPod Touch account on my computer?

How do I set up a second iPod Touch account on my computer? Am having trouble.

You seem to know alot, so I am contacting you regarding my query
I bought a second iPod touch for my daughter. My problem is that this second iPod is not being recognized as a device... therefore I cannot sync it or add any content to it. Do you know how I can add a second iPod to my iTunes so that I am able to sync it?
I have gone through all of the troubleshooting (restarting iPod, restarting computer, reseting iPod to factory default...etc). Can you please help me?

Purchased music on one iPod Touch gets attached to second iPod Touch.

I have one account and 6 devices. iCloud has been disabled... and I do not want it enabled. I particularly hate it!
The issue is:
We have two iPod Touches that are G1 and G2, two iPod Touches that are Gen 5 with the latest updates to iOS, and we also have two iPod Nanos. There is no issues with the old iPod Touches nor the iPod Nanos.
On my iTunes I have separate folders for each iPod, named accordingly. In those folders are the music that those iPods are to be loaded with. The issue comes with the 5th Generation iPod Touches where it will sync all of the music in our appropriate folders, however, there is also music that was purchased on one iPod Touch 5th Gen that automatically gets attached to the second iPod Touch 5th Gen. No matter what I try it remains on both iPods and it is not wanted.
I took the iPod that doesn't want the music (my husband's) and restored factory settings on it and then when I set it up again... the unwanted music is still there. I did this after syncing the device 2 or 3 times with just syncing the selected folders. It took me awhile to figure out that all of the music that is deemed "unwanted" is purchases that I made on my iPod Touch Gen 5 and automatically showed up on my husband's.
What do I have to do to get rid of the music on his iPod? Set up his own ID? If so... that only affects purchases correct? Meaning, he can still sync with our iTunes folders on our home computer but if he were to purchase a song on his iPod, he would have to submit credit card info etc, otherwise the same thing would happen and both iPods would have the purchased music.
I may have answered my own question, but I would like it confirmed before I set up new ID's and delete anymore items from his iPod.
Thank you

Illaass: I didn't try this... is this on the iPod itself? I'm just wondering though, where I've already put the device back to factory a couple of times and then tried syncing just his list and those songs still popped up. If I delete everything and re-sync, wouldn't it do it again? I'll try it tonight and let you know.
PS: Chris CA: Originally I did have the clouds, but I got rid of them. It didn't change anything though. Purchased music still there. Funny thing... I can purchase off my old iPod and it does not automatically go to mine nor my husband's new iPods, but if I purchase on the new iPods, it'll go to both new ones but not to the old ones. I'm assuming this has something to do with the iOS.
I'll be back tomorrow to let you guys know how I made out with the deleting thing. Thank you so much for all of your help and suggestions. At least the iPods work. He's just cranky because he doesn't like some of my music choices so he doesn't want them on his iPod. LOL

Ok, when i try to sync my new ipod touch to my computer, it says unable to connect for unknown reasons, and as a benefit, it shows the songs as faded in the list and therefore unplayable. how do i fix this problem?

as stated in the title, i when i try to sync my new ipod touch to my computer it says its unable to connect due to unkown reasons. the music is listed on my touch as there, but faded (minus a selected few songs) and therefore are unplayable. i have no idea where to start, i figured downloading the newest itunes update, however, it no longer shows up when i start it up. confused.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
