2 ipods now, don't know how to manage itunes

Hi all,
This is my first post and I've browsed the archives but really haven't found an answer to this question.
I have an older ipod (no clue what generation) and my daughter just bought a nano. I'm used to using itunes with 1 ipod but now the second one is throwing me off.
I know there's the settings tab where you can copy just select playlists to an ipod. So I've created a playlist for my daughter and copy just her songs into that playlist and update the nano that way.
But now my question is if I import a CD let's say into itunes and I want the CD on my ipod it seems that if I click the option to share entire library just to get the CD on my ipod then I end up with all her music.
Do I have to drag and drop each song from the CD into a playlist I create for myself? Now we have 2 playlists, 1 for me and 1 for her. I've been updating the ipods that way but I'm wondering if there's a better way.
Any help would be appreciated.

There are two options:
Restore the new device using a backup from the old device.
Setup as new device and sync the content desired from iTunes on the computer to the device.

    If your iPhone is disabled, then you must use iTunes on your computer to restore iOS. You don't have to be an expert using iTunes, just follow the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414

  • Lost my iPod and don't know how to get back my photos

    I lost my iPod touch 5th generation and don't know how to get back my photos.  It is running iOS 8.1.
    Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Get them back from where?
    They will only be where you put them.
    If you used photo stream, then look for them there.
    If you imported them to your computer, then they will be there.
    If you did not put them anywhere but your iPhone, then they are gone.
    Sorry

  • I don't know how to watch iTunes Trailers in iTunes on the iPad?!

    Hi there!
    I'm trying to watch the iTunes movie trailers directly in iTunes on the iPad2...
    Is it even possible? And if it is, how do I watch them??

    Sorry, that's not the issue. My bad!
    First of all, I don't have a TV of MOVIE icon in the lower bar (landscape mode).
    Yes you do. I am in landscape view. You tap on the icon of the movie (or on the word View) - from list of movies and this window pops up. You do know how to navigate through iTunes on the iPad right? These trailers will look just like they do in a web browser.
    I want to have a view like the website version, is that possible?
    And no - you can't watch them in a browser - unless you watch a YouTube site - because the those trailers require Flash and Flash is not supported on the iPad.
    Look at this.

  • Had mail problem where losing mail after typed and moving cursor made it disappear. Did a reset of Firefox and now don't know how to set up my favorite websites

    that were located in toolbar. Don't remember which toolbar but had all sites I might visit with icons and name. Can't remember how I did that to do over again. 70 y/o now. Hope that fixed my having to retype emails.
    Thanks

    First, are you looking for the Bookmarks Toolbar? If you right-click a blank area to the right of your tabs, you can make sure the Bookmarks Toolbar is turned on.
    Hopefully that's it, but if it was an add-on toolbar, some more digging will be required...
    After a reset, you should have a new folder on your desktop with a name simlar to Old Firefox Settings. Inside that folder, there is another folder named extensions which contains a file or folder for each extension you had before the reset. One of these extensions most likely was responsible for your toolbar. Can you find that folder?
    Unfortunately, many extensions and extension folders are named using long gibberish-like numbers. If the one you're looking for isn't in English, you or a volunteer will need to look up what those are. Once we identify the toolbar, we can figure out what happened to its data (for example, if it's stored on the web, you probably just need to reinstall the extension, but if it's stored locally only on your computer, we probably need to identify and copy its data file to a new location).
    Any luck in your research? How can we help?

  • Don't know how to install iTunes on Windows 8

    nevermind i got it now!

    I also just bought a Windows 8 computer (64 bit) with IE 10 and I am also unable to download itunes. Once I click the "download" button, it automatically generates the "thanks for downloading" without runing any application or software to officially install itunes.
    And as it was said earlier........ for me, a google search for itunes for windows 8 generates this thread, on bing with the same search- i found this article (which is elusive and officially gives no answers- going nowhere)
    http://www.maclife.com/article/news/microsoft_wants_itunes_app_windows_8
    and finally a search in apple has not pulled up any results, to include this thread.
    So it looks like we get those people who had it successfully download to explain how, i.e.they had to change certian internet options or something to that effect to get it to work, where it downloaded, etc---- cause the rest of us are STUCK without itunes. My next step tomorrow will be to call apple for support and if I succeed I will re-post the thread and/or answers.
    thanks guys

  • I used to see a monthly "Feb 2014" photo stream category in my library for each month.  Now all of my photo stream photos (from my iPhone) are under "iCloud" under "Sharing" and I don't know how to get my pix out of there and separate them into libraries

    My computer has changed how it accepts photos from my phone.  They used to post into a library by the month and year, e.g., "Feb 2014 photo stream," but now all of the photos from my phone for the past year or so are lumped together into the "Shared" section under "photo stream." I did not put them there (that I know of) and now don't know how to get them out and into a library where I can categorize them. 

    The monthly events "Feb2014" will show you all photos that have been imported from "My Photo STream", if you have enabled "Automatic Import" in the "Preferences > iCloud" tab.
    The albums you are seeing under "iCloud" are the "Shared Photo Streams" and "My Photo Stream". To import from your "Shared Streams" drag the photos frommthe Shared Streams album to the Projects in the library panel.

    Does anyone have any ideas? I was told that it might be conflicting IP addresses., but I don't know if that's right.
    Thanks
    Is it a 2Wire modem/router? If it is your only option may be placing the 2Wire in the bridge mode , and letting the WRT54G2 router do the Ppoe login for you.

  • In updating my iPod to 6.1.2, I received an error during the update.  Now, ipod is not rebooting.  Has screen showing usb to Itunes picture.   Turning off and back on it goes back to this picture.  I don't know how to reset so that I can restore my backup

    A similar thing happened when I updated the ios on my ipad.  But, I was able to reboot, and then restore from backup.   How can I get my ipod to reboot and allow restore when it is not even recognized as I reconnect to my computer?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
