HT204053 Two different ipods connected to one itunes account

I have two ipods (for two members of the family) on one account, how can I switch and have two ipods on two different accounts on one same computer?

Hello Philgeorge1,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that you want to create a new Apple ID for your wife, and disassociate your Apple ID from her devices. To first create an Apple ID please see the article below.
iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes
Next, to disassociate an Apple ID from a device see the following article.
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
Once everything is created, she will just need to sign out of your Apple ID on both the computer and iPhone, and then log in with her new Apple ID.
Cheers,
Alex H.

This would be a violation of the terms of use of the itunes store and could result in the loss of your account.

You can use the same apple id for two separate phoones to share apps/music, however you would need a separate apple id for both phone for imessage/facetime/icloud.

How many devices can I have connected to one iTunes account?

How many devices can I have connected to one iTunes account?

If you mean authorized computers, five.
If you mean devices associated with iTunes Match or automatic downloads, ten.
If you mean devices synced with a single iTunes library, there’s no limit.

However, I'm not aware of any way to limit access - aside from Parental Controls.

As a clarification, you can have up to 5 devices with iTunes.
Sorry, this is incorrect. The limit of 5 relates to the number of computers you can authorize to use iTunes, NOT the number of iOS devices you can sync with a single iTunes library. You can sync as many iOS devices as you like to iTunes. See whitewater2's post below... he is syncing at least 6 iOS devices with the same iTunes library.

Two iTunes set up for two different iPods both with one library......

Okay I have had an iPod mini for about two years I already have my library set up yada yada yada...
Today my brother got an iPod Nano. I went through the setup process because I thought that you needed to have two seperate libraries if you had two seperate iPods, but after it had setup I realized that both of the iTunes accounts had my library on each....
What do I do? Can he upload my music onto his Nano or yeah I am not sure...Thanks for all of your help.

the music in a single library can be downloaded to two different ipods. (mauve and attractive beast both connect to the same library.)

Can i sync more than 1 ipod touch with one itunes account?

I have two ipod touches, one for each of my kids, and i would like to know if i can use one itunes account for both of their ipods. Do I need 1 account per device? Also, as they don't have an email account, do i need to create an email account for the itunes account to work?

mate, just use one account for both, and create a playlist each, so that they have the songs that they specifically want, or they could probably both just have all of the music, it doesnt take much space up. And yeah, just have one E-mail account for the one itunes account, you could probably just use yours, or if not, your going to have to create another one. My whole family uses the one acoount, and it doesnt bother us, it also doesnt send me any emails, so its fine to use my account

Can I have 2 different IPods on the same itunes account and computer?

I have a nano gen. 4 and a new nano 7.
Can I have them both on my itunes account and computer?
thanks

Yes. You can easily have multiple iPods on the same iTunes account on the same computer. Each iPod will show up with its name when plugged in, and each iPod can have its own set of preferences (i.e., what music, videos, photos, audiobooks, etc. to sync).
What you can't do easily is use the same iPod on multiple computers with different instances of iTunes. One instance of iTunes has to be "in charge" of an iPod.

HT204053 The entire family has used one itunes account for years. How do we all set up separate iCloud accounts now?

The entire family has used one itunes account for years. How do we all set up separate iCloud accounts now? Or should we? 5 macbooks, 2 ipads, 4 iphones, 2 itouch, 2 imacs. How does one decide what to sync, share and what not to? Green Jeans.

You need to start by understanding the distinction between iTunes and iCloud - Apple confuse the issue by referring to 'iTunes Match' as part of iCloud. It isn't.
You don't have to have the same login (Apple ID) for iTunes and iCloud; many people don't and there's no problem about it.
Your iCloud ID gets you email, calendars, contacts, iWork documents and PhotoStream syncing between devices.
Your iTunes ID gets you the iTunes Store, the App Store for iOS, the Mac App Store for OSX,, 'iTunes in the Cloud' (downloading of purchased items to any logged-in device) and 'iTunes Match' (uploading of songs not purchased in the iTunes Store).
Your family members can easily each get their own iCloud account to keep email etc. separate - in each case they will need a different non-Apple email address (a free one from Yahoo etc. would do) to set up the ID. If they are sharing a Mac they need to be using a separate user account.
They can have their own iCloud accounts and still all sign into the same iTunes account: or they can open their own iTunes accounts using their new iCloud Apple IDs.
BUT they cannot transfer items purchased under the present iTunes ID to different iTunes IDs.

Two Different iPod's and One Computer

My sister and i both have iPods and i need to know how to keep our songs separate so we dont end up with all of eachothers songs. it would be helpful!!! is there any way to have two iTunes accounts on 1 computer or am i screwed!!

Well, get this - our family has 3 iPods (all different models, too) and we have a way of keeping unwanted songs out of our iPods. If you have Windows XP, create a new section for every iPod user. If you use one log-in for non-iPod/iTunes business, you can still use it, but keep the others for the iPods only. After, upload your library onto each log-in and just delete the songs that are not yours. Don't worry - your iPod's songs won't be erased because someone deleted them from their iTunes library.
Or Try This...
Create Playlists for each other. When you go to plug in your iPod, got to "Edit", "Preferences", then "Update." click on the box that says to update selected playlists. Every time you update, just change the selected list.
Hope this helps

Itunes 7- can two different ipods run on same itunes?

i have a 30gb ipod video and my husband has a nano. i have itunes on my computer twice in different user accounts for our ipods but since installing the new itunes 7 my husbands itunes will not open it gives me an error message. i uninstalled his itunes and reinstalled but then i couldnt open my itunes. i reinstalled itunes 7 and now i am back to my original problem.
Can i have my ipod and my husbands nano run from the same itunes? will my library be added to his nano and will his nano library be added to my itunes? please help this is frustrating me.

tean5289,
This article addresses using multiple iPods on the same computer.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432
Method Two in the article is the method my wife and I have used in the past. I had mine set up to sync my playlists, plus the recently added playlist. That way if she added any music, I had 2 weeks that it would show up on my iPod, and give me time to move the song to one of my own playlists.
i have turned the fast switch for the user accounts
off. when i log into my husbands user account and
open his itunes it still tells me that it cannot be
opened an unknown error has occured.
anyone know a soloution? hence my original question
can ipod video and nano run from one itunes library?

Keeping two separate Ipod lists in one ITunes program on one computer

Each of us has a separate Ipod, but share a computer. We like mostly the same tunes -- so have one ITunes library on the computer, but have some different tastes, so she has some tunes on her Ipod I don't like, and I have some on mine she doesn't like (so both of us use most but not all tunes in the library). We both want to keep separate track of our two Ipod lists in our computer in case (as has happened) an Ipod glitches and has to be reloaded. I can't get ITunes on the computer to accept the list of songs on my Ipod as a separate, permanent file. How can I accomplish this?

Two iPod Touch and One iTunes Account

I have two iPod Touches. I sync one of them to my Mac, for which I have downloaded and installed the 1.1.3 update on one of them and purchased the new applications for it. Now I would like to download and install the same to the other iPod Touch, which I sync to a Windows machine.
The problem arises when I want to download the update again from the iTunes Store. I get a message that informs me I have already purchased the update and would not give me the option to buy it again.
What is the deal here? I have only one account with which to log in to the iTunes Store. I don't need another one. Or do you have to have an account for every iPod you own?
Anyone got any ideas on how to resolve this issue? Thanks

You don't register iPods to an iTunes account.
