2 ipod touches with 1 itunes library??

My girlfriend and I were wondering how we can set up 2 playlists on itunes with 1 computer. We want to have 1 shared itunes but have different songs on eachother's ipods. Any help with this please?

Set up different playlists and sync only the playlist(s) you want.
Add/delete from these playlists to change what you have on your iPod.
Select the iPod in iTunes.
Click the Music tab.
Tick *Sync music* and choose *Selected playlists* then tick the playlist(s) you want on your iPod.

HT1386 trouble syncing music on ipod touch with new itunes library

I can't seem to get my ipod touch (2nd Gen) to sync with my itunes library. Had Trouble installing itunes 10.6.1 and abandoned the effort on main computer for now (out of FRUSTRATION!!!) and instead tried to sync with my sons computer. It wiped the ipod (expected that) but now when I try to sync for music it only downloads a few songs. HELP!!!! Please??? Get the message that sync could not be completed because sync failed to start. I really can't afford to pay these guys to help with a product that should work so any help would be appreciated.

How do i use 2 ipod touches with 1 itunes account?

how do i use 2 ipod touches with 1 itunes account? can they share apps and music etc. I'm not very good at any tech so advise would be much appreciated.

Yes. You can sync an unlimited number of iDvies that you control to one iTunes library/account. If using the same iTunes library on the same comutr just make sure that yu go to the ap. music and other pane for the iPod in iTunes and select sycn selected items. Not the the whole library. That way each iPod can have it own contents.

How can you transfer data from an ipod touch to the itunes library without having all your data deleted?

I have a laptop and the hard drive had to be replaced because it WILL NOT work (This broken hard drive will be refered to as "HD1" from now on). So I had no choice but to have HD1 replaced with a better hard drive (the new one will be refered to as "HD2" from now on). I had HD1 for about 5 years, but what is stuck on HD1 is my itunes library will all of my music, like I said before HD1 will not work so I cannot retrieve any of my itunes data, or any data to be exact. But also, my data that was synced in HD1's itunes library is also on my ipod touch, which is still functional for the time being. HD2 has been installed and working perfectly and I installed itunes on it as well. If I synced my ipod touch to HD2's itunes library, all of my music on the ipod touch will get deleted. What I'm trying to do is have all of my music on my ipod touch transfered to HD2's itunes library without having anything deleted.
Key things to remember:
-"HD1" is my broken hard drive
-"HD2" is my new and awesome hard drive
-I can't access HD1 at all because it doesn't work
-I have an ipod touch with all of HD1's music on it
-HD2 has an empty itunes library on it
-I need a way to transfer all the data on my ipod touch to HD2's itunes library without having anything deleted
Is there someone, anyone who can help me out with this?

I think so when you sign in your itunes library with your apple id which you were using on HD1 the data will be transfered or simply use icloud.

I cant sync my ipod touch with my itune

After i connect my ipod to my laptop, i am unable to sync it.
Before that, i used energizer cable to charge my ipod touch.
My itune said that "This ipod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. run the itune installers to remove itune , then install itune again"
But the problem is i install tons of time it still dont work

Try downloading new version of itouch & if you cant, disable all antivirus, spyware, fierwall etc. Then try it. Another thing is open up itunes & on the top left corner, go to File & look for where it says, sync "----" iPod. Or try to go to File & click on Transfer purchases from "----" iPod.

Ipod touch connecting to itunes library issues

I updated my ipod touch 4th generation through my settings on my ipod but now it will not connect to my itunes library. It says I need itunes 10.6.3 or higher but my roommate has the same ipod and a mac aswell as I do and she didn't have any troubles.My itunes says I dont have any new upgrades so I downloaded itunes 10.7 from apple.com but then it said I needed the newest mac 0s x and to get that I have to buy snow leopard and I dont have the money for that right now. I have an aluminum macbook from 2009. It has all its most recent updates that it can without purchase. How do I get my music on my ipod???

iOS 6 requires
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.7 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)

Hard Drive Failed - iPod synced with previous iTunes Library - HELP!

The hard drive on our Dell laptop recently failed. We had to replace it and completely reinstall the operating system, which wiped out everything, including iTunes. All of our music currently resides on our iPod (thousands of songs!). After reinstalling iTunes on the new hard drive, iTunes will not sync up because it says the iPod is already synced to another iTunes library.
That library was deleted when we wiped out our hard drive.
HOW can we rescue the songs on our iPod and download them to our new iTunes? It's telling us that if we sync, all music on the iPod will be erased!
Help!

Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. The transfer of content sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows

Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
Floola Mac & Windows
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Can I transfer my music from my iPod Touch to my iTunes library?

So my computer (and my backup external hard drive) was stolen. With it went all my music. Most of this music was ripped from CD, and I don't have the CDs anymore, so the music is just gone. I still have my whole library on my iPod Touch 4G, so I was hoping there is a good way to transfer my music from the iPod to the new iTunes. The iPod is jailbroken, but I would prefer to use a "legit" method instead of some jailbreak hack. Does anyone know of a good way to transfer my library?
Thanks!

Oh, never mind...figured out what I needed to know elsewhere. Should have done more research first!

Transferring an old library on my iPod touch to new iTunes library

Hi - please help me!
My laptop broke last year, I think I managed to turn it back on to deauthorize the iTunes account on it but I can't quite remember.
A few months ago I bought a new laptop (windows vista). I have all my old downloaded iTunes music and playlists on my iPod touch, but when I connect it to my new laptop I cannot add any new music that I am downloading. I need some help with transferring all my old library onto my new laptop to integrate my old and new music- until then I can't add any new music to my iPod!
I love my old music - refuse to part with it so any advice would be GREAT thank you!

1st try logging into your account and go to the option, check for avaible downloads. If that dosn't work try plugging your ipod in and it should come up with an option saying transfers songs from perd16 iPod or whatever the name of your iPod is. If none of these helps. Try emailing me at [email protected] and I will help you more there.

How can I sync my ipod touch my old itunes library?

I had orginially synched my itunes library on my work laptop(macbook pro). Now I have changed jobs I would like to synch my ipod touch onto my home laptop (Dell Windows). However, I have already got an itunes library on my home machine (only ten or so songs). I don't want this library anymore, I want to synch the tunes I have got on my ipod touch. I have some purchased tunes but mostly they are from my own CD collection. I also have loads of apps and photos/videos on my itouch. As well as this I need to upgrade my ipod touch to iOS 5.
So...I don't think I can transfer my tunes, apps, photos/videos from my ipod touch to my home computer's itunes library and therefore cannot upgrade my ipod touch to iOS5.
Can anybody help me find a way to transfer my ipod content onto my home laptop? All my content is purchsed from CDs, Appstore, itunes or my own photo video collection.
Hope someone can help!
Cheers

How do I sync a friends iPod Touch with my iTunes?

Hiya
I am borrowing a friend's iPod Touch and want to sync it with my iTunes to copy some music onto it for her. When I try to sync iTune says that Touch can only be synced with 1 iTunes at a time and gives me the choice of Erase & Sync or Transfer Purchases.... neither of which I can do really! Can anyone help?

to prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod - hold down the option and the command (on a PC that would be the shift and ctrl ) keys when plugging in the iPod - keep pressing the keys until the iPod is listed under the devices list in iTunes.
