How do i synce two different ipods with one computer??

i recently purchased an ipod 5th generation for my other half which i have set up an account for and comes up when i plug in but the home page always comes up with my ipod stuff which is a 4th generation ipod. i have no problem with mine as it stores songs etc but when i plug the other one in it deletes whats on there and i have to manually tick all the songs again to sync back on to it. is this normal?? i am using a windows xp and have no issues with the computer and my ipod just the other one. i also have updated itunes to itunes 9 so the 5th generation ipod can download stuff. it seems to store songs and then when i go to download or update it takes them off and am back to square one!!!! please help!!

Is the following document of any help with that?

  • How do I sync two different ipods with new iTunes software?

    Up until I upgraded to the new software, I was able to quickly and easily sync both my iPods. One is an iPod touch; the other a classic. Now, I can't sync my classic. Any idea why or what I'm doing wrong? This new software, IMHO, is not that intuitive.

  • How do I run two Apple IDs with one computer and sync music content?

    I have a single PC which I have added all of the music to one my log in. My wife and I have Iphones and I want to run separate accounts for itunes, but sync music content from the single source to both phones. Whenever I have tried to do this in the past, it starts to sync all app to both phones. I tried to therefore have separate log ins on the pc itself, but when I have tried this, the music content does not update on my wifes itunes library, after I have added music to mine (ie imported a CD), even though I have linked my wife's music library for itunes purposes to my music folder (hopefully that makes sense!!). Can anyone help as this is driving me mad, otherwise I will just have to run from my account and delete all of my wifes apps etc whenever I sync my phone, and vice versa.
    Thanks!!!

  • How do you merge two different users on one computer?

    I created a user account on my computer, then when I used Migration Assistant to transfer some of the files off my old computer onto my new MacBook Air it transferred them into a new user account.  How do I merge the two different users? They are both me.

    You can't "merge" users, you have to transfer the files using intermediate steps to deal with Permissions issues.
    You found out first hand that you should use Setup Assistant, rather than Migration Assistant to perform the action that is now causing trouble, and time.
    1) Log in to the A account.
    2) Locate all the files you want to move. Move them to /Users/A/Public. Note: Don't move any System-created top-level folders, like Documents, Pictures, Music, Movies, etc. Just move their contents.
    3) Log in to the B account.
    4) Navigate with Finder to /Users/A/Public. Drag the files to the Desktop. This will make new copies of them that will have the correct permissions for User B.
    5) Put the new copies of the files away in the appropriate places in B's home folder.
    6) Delete the A user account if it is no longer needed.
    Doing it this way will ensure that there are no permissions headaches with the files after they are moved.
    Also, make sure that you BACK UP all of your data before starting.

  • HT3819 Can I set up two different IPODs on one computer with one iTunes library but keep them separate by user of the iPOD?

    I need to add my husband's iTunes library to my Apple comnputer that has iTunes and my library on it already - can I add his device and keep it separate from mine?

    You should create a new compuer login account for him (System prefs > Users & Accounts) and he will have all his own data including his own iTunes library.
    Also, you can have more than one device in iTunes and sync different content.

    Other options not covered in the article:
    1) You can plug both in under the same computer username and same iTunes Apple ID and give each device it's own name. You should be able to manage them as separate devices with different media, apps and screen layouts. All of your media would be in a common pool, though.
    2) Under one computer username, you can login and logout of two different iTunes Apple IDs. This option is cleaner with two computer usernames but it can be done with one.

  • How do I Sync my i-touch with my computer after I've restored my computer from a crash?

    How do I Sync my i-touch with my computer after I've restored my computer from a crash? I-tunes only wants to erase all my songs and sync to a blank slate

    If all your apps and music are in your iTunes library, try to make a backup of the iPod.  Right click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Backup.  Once you have a backup, restore the iPod from thatbackup.  If you can't make a backup (or get a backup from the computer backup) you must restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and sync as necessary.

  • Two 80GTB ipod's one computer

    Please help! My husband and I both got ipod's for our birthdays. I can't figure out how to download music to mine without getting all his stuff and visa versa. Please help.

    Here's my take.
    See these articles about using more than one iPod on one computer, and with either one or more iTunes libraries.
    Multiple iPod installations.
    How to use multiple iPods with one computer.
    If you have the latest iTunes, an easy way to create a new library is to hold down the 'alt' key whilst opening iTunes (for Macs), or hold down the 'shift' key (for Windows).
    This will give you the option of either using the current iTunes library or creating a new one.
    There are various methods of transferring different songs to different iPods with a single iTunes library.
    One is to manage the songs manually.
    With this setting, you can drag and drop songs/playlists etc onto the iPod from iTunes, and also delete and/or edit songs which are currently on the iPod without affecting the iTunes library.
    If you wish to keep the convenience of automatic sync, then you could set the iPods to sync with "selected playlists". This setting can be found in the iPod summary screen under the 'music' tab. With this setting, different playlists can be transferred and later deleted from each iPod without affecting any playlists stored in iTunes or the playlists on the other iPods.
    Also, on the 'summary' main page you will see the option to "only sync checked items". With this setting selected, if you remove the check marks from any songs in iTunes, they will not be transferred to the iPod. You can restore the check mark if you want to put the songs back on the iPod at a later date.
    Be aware that when playing songs in iTunes, any songs that do not have a check mark against them will be skipped over and will not be played.
