I have two different iPods.  How do I connect the new one to iTunes?

I now have two iPods - a 30GB iPod I purchased about a year and a half ago which plays music, Audible books, and has photos slide show capability plus color screen. Yesterday I collected enough credit card points to afford the new 5th Generation iPod. Yeah, I'm an iPod addict. I wanted the video capability. So now I have it. My question is:
Do I have to download iTunes again, or can I connect my new iPod to the iTunes that I have been using for my other iPod? I can't find the answer to this question anywhere. Also:
Can I connect the new iPod on the same computer as my old iPod is connected on without getting confusion on the iTunes site and on the iPod?

Ya, you can simply connect it to your current iTunes and go. More info here...

  • I have had to do a system recovery on my desktop computer.  In re-installing iTunes, I am told that I have two libraries.  How do I access the old one.

    I have had to do a system recovery on my desktop computer and it was 'wiped'.  iTunes had to be reinstalled.  However, I can't access my old library.  I am told that there are now two of them.  I need to get to the old one.

    I had to wipe my computer clean and I had backed up my I tunes on an external hard drive, but I also had all my music on my Ipod.  Now that I reinstalled Itunes, it can't locate all my music that I have on my ipod.  Did you find a way to do this?  Please help if you have a solution.
    Thanks

  • In my itunes library I have apps for the ipod.  All of the apps were together, and now I have two different sections to my apps. The first one says 44 apps and the second section says 143 apps.  When I connect my ipod only the first section goes on

    can anyone help me with my apps on my itunes.  They have separated for some reason.  I have one section of 44 apps and the other has 121 apps. Only the top section will sinc with my ipod because at the side where it says apps, it is only showing the 44 apps and not the section at the bottom

    Can you take a screen shot of the iTunes screen and post it? I do not really understand what you  mean by different sections.
    What model iPod and iOS do you have? Maybe the section that does not sync are not compatible with the iPod.
    Were all the apps purchased with one account?
    Do you have any Restrictions one that would prevent syncing? Settings>General>Restrictions.

  • I have chosen to fil migrate from old ibook to new MacBook Pro using Time Machine after establishing admin account. I now have two admin. accounts and wish to delete the later one and transfer files manually. I am worried I will loose both accounts. ??

    Use the Office for Mac and ignore using Parallels for that. If you have PC only apps you have to run that are MS Windows only then consider Parallels. Just transfer your main PC, using Migration Assistant.  If you don't know how then simply read over Pondini's article called Lion or Mountain Lion Setup Assistant tips and look for the section on migrating from a PC. Millions have done what you are about to, it's far from leading edge these days, if you go to an Apple Store to purchase they will offer this as a service, something you might be interested in.

    I can see and listen to all of my music from the ipod on my stereo or thru headphones but for some reason, itunes doesn't see this device.

    Hi sunsets123,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has some troubleshooting steps that may help if iTunes is not recognizing your iPod classic:

  • I have an iPod whose contents I want to transfer to a newer Ipod.  At some stage I lost the music files from my library.  Is there any way to get them back from the older iPod and put them onto the newer one again?  I stupidly synced the wrong one.

    I have an iPod whose contents I want to transfer to a newer Ipod.  At some stage when I thought I was syncing correctly I wasn't so I lost the music files from my library.  Is there any way to get them back from the older iPod and put them onto the newer one again? 

    Have you not got a backup of your content on, for example, external drives ? If not then you could have a look to see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work : https://discussions.apple.com/message/11014893?messageID=11014893#11014893

    One you start up the new one for the first time, Setup Assistant starts and offers you the option of migrating your old Mac to your new Mac with Time Machine, among other choices, as the source. You can also use Migration Assistant (in the Utilities Folder) to do the same thing.

    How do you connects the same iPad to iTunes which is already synced with another computer

    You can only use one iTunes library at a time when you sync your devices. If you want to sync to a new computer now, look at this.

  • I accidentally created an identical email acct, how to I delete the newer one and not the old one?

    entally created an identical email acct, how to I delete the newer one and not the old one? And I'm receiving e's just from the new one.

    Move the "e's" (email messages?) to the old account first. You can drag and drop.
    To remove an account in Thunderbird:
    '''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences_in_Windows,_Linux,_and_Mac Tools|Account Settings]|<select the unwanted account>|'''
    Down at the bottom of the left-hand pane, '''Account Actions''' then '''Remove Account'''.
    Are both accounts using POP? That could explain why new messages appear in the new account but not the old.
    It could help to post your Thunderbird settings data: '''Help|Troubleshooting Information'''. Clear the "Include account names" checkbox. Click on "Copy text to clipboard", then paste (ctrl+v) into your next posting here.

  • HT204053 Hi I've just purchased a iMac which is great, my problem is that I've a apple id account and also my wife has one, is there any way we can have two accounts i.e. separate accounts on the iMac with individual iTunes accounts, appreciate help pleas

    Hi ive just purchased an IMac and encountered an issue i didnt think of put hopefully someone can help? Ive a apple account and also the wife both with seperate itunes accounts etc. Is it possible to have two profiles with seperate accounts on our system, appreciate any help..

    I believe you can accomplish this by setting up separate user profiles for each of you on your Mac (System Preferences>Users & Groups (click the lock symbol if locked and provide the administrator name and password, then click the "+").  That should allow you to sign into separate iCloud accounts and maintain separate iTunes libraries within your respective user accounts.

  • My computer crashed. How do I authorize the new one for my iPod nano?

    My old computer crashed and I restored the music off the iPod back onto this new computer and into iTunes. But, it keeps saying I don't have priveleges to do something. I think it's because the iPod is only registered for the old computer?? I don't know, but could someone please help me out. It's so frustrating dealing with restoring everything and getting your iPod situation back to normal after a computer crash.... Please help me. Thanks.

    If not, you'll have to be more explicit in what you are trying to do and what messages you receive when trying to do it.
