Does anyone know if it is possible to have 2 ipod's on the same computer? I want to have a different library for each one.

Answer 1

I received the following info from Apple Support because we have a mini and the new 5th generation that we sync to our Mac. Hope this helps.
How to use multiple iPods with one computer Do you want to use more than one iPod with the same computer? You can! In fact there are a couple of different ways you can do it.
Method One
If you share your computer with other people, the simplest way is to maintain separate user accounts on the computer for each person and his or her iPod. This is useful if everyone has different musical tastes; each person gets to maintain his or her own personalized iTunes music library, and can customize the iPod with his or her music.
Mac OS X users:
See " Mac OS X: How to Share a Computer with Other Users" to learn how to set up additional user accounts.
Windows users:
Look in your computer's Help documentation to learn how to set up additional user accounts. To locate this information, do the following:
1. Click the Start Menu, and then point to Help or Help and Support.
2. Enter new user in the Search field.
3. Press Return.
If you create multiple user accounts on one computer but want the same music to be available in iTunes for all users, see "iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer ."
Method Two
If one person wants to use multiple iPods on a computer, or you don't want to create multiple user accounts to support multiple iPods, you can set iTunes to update each iPod with only certain playlists. This way, you can put all your music on, say, your iPod photo and keep just your workout music on your iPod mini. Here's how to do this:
1. First, create a new iTunes playlist for each iPod that contains all the music that you want to send to that particular iPod. Learn more about how to create playlists here .
2. Then configure the iPod Options in iTunes so that each iPod gets updated with only your selected playlists. Learn more about how to send certain playlists to different iPods here .
