Hello Matty,
If you have iTunes already installed, then just forget about what's on the disc, your new iPod should connect to what's there. Is your iPod showing up in the iTunes source list at all? If you need a new version of iTunes it's simple enough to download from this link: iTunes Download. If your iPod shows up in iTunes and you haven't changed the update settings from the default "automatically update songs and playlists" or enabled the iPod for disk use then the "Do Not Disconnect" will stay on until iTunes has finished updating your iPod and then disappear. Eject your iPod from iTunes and try connecting your iPod to another USB port if it doesn't seem to updating. Check this article out as well: : How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer

  • Managing two Ipods off one itunes list

    i have an extensive library and have two Ipods (30g & 2nano) how could you manage most playlist on 30 and a couple playlist on the other - is it possible? how can you updae only a portion?

    Set your IPODs to "Auto Update Selected Playlists Only" or set them to "Manual Update"
    Question: Can I update more than one iPod with my computer?
    Answer: Yes. Each iPod communicates a unique device identification number to your computer, allowing you to take advantage of automatic music transfers to your iPod even if you share a computer with another iPod user. You can choose to automatically update your entire music collection on multiple iPod players or choose to update selected playlists, allowing you to transfer custom playlists to individual iPod players.

    how you you take an ipod off of one account and transfer it to another account?

    If you mean iTunes libraries, sync it with the desired iTunes library. If you mean iTunes Store accounts, an iPod can contain content from five of them at once with no special actions needed.

    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.

    I have not had any experience in getting any devices repaired so I'm not sure which store to resort to. An official Apple store should more than likely get you what you need, but I'm guessing it's probably more expensive. (if any cost for your situation)
    I hope you get your problem resolved.

  • How to best handle 2 ipods on one computer?

    Hi there,
    After having my "own" itunes set up on my PC (running XP), my son is now getting his own ipod.
    What's the best way to run 2 ipods off of a single computer? Create a separate Library for my son, or set up a wholly new instance of itunes under my son's login?
    TIA,
    Menop

    If your son has a seperate CPU account, all he has to do is log into his side of the CPU and open iTunes. That will take it to a blank iTunes screen, where he can put in his music, and not have to worry about your music (and vice versa).
    Different user accounts are the easiest way to manage 2 iPods on one CPU.

  • How do i synce two different ipods with one computer??

    i recently purchased an ipod 5th generation for my other half which i have set up an account for and comes up when i plug in but the home page always comes up with my ipod stuff which is a 4th generation ipod. i have no problem with mine as it stores songs etc but when i plug the other one in it deletes whats on there and i have to manually tick all the songs again to sync back on to it. is this normal?? i am using a windows xp and have no issues with the computer and my ipod just the other one. i also have updated itunes to itunes 9 so the 5th generation ipod can download stuff. it seems to store songs and then when i go to download or update it takes them off and am back to square one!!!! please help!!

  • Help needed! connecting 2 ipods to one pc

    does anyone have experience with hooking up 2 ipods to one pc? i have both a shuffle and a nano (which is new and needs to be installed) but i am worried that the pc will get confused if i hook up 2 different models with different stuff on them! can anybody tell me what might happen before i actually try it out myself??? appreciate any feedback on this!! thanks michael

    theres 2-3 main methods for doing this on Windows atleast.
    Method 1 is if you want both to have the same songs just connect them one at a time to the PC
    Methods 2 and 3 are based on if you want to use 2 user accounts in windows or not and are covered in more detail here on the apple site http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432
    PS if you do decide to use 2 user accounts in windows, make sure you turn off "Fast user switching" iTunes does not play well with this feature turned on in windows

  • Using more than one ipod on one computer and itunes

    I have a iPod mini but share a computer with my sister who just got the lastest nano. Can I add her ipod to my computer while my mini is already on there? Can we share the itunes and import the same songs to our ipods? How does it work? I use Windows XP but don't want to go through the hassel of have to Itunes running off one computer.
    Thanks so much for any help!!!!!!

    Don't know what an iPod mini is. To answer your question about sharing computer. You can use the same library if you want. THere are many ways to do that just make sure to not have them both plugged in at the same time.
    Te easiest way to share would be to use one user account. Both iPOds would get the same libary and music.
    The next way is to have two different user accounts. Have the music in a shared folder and you can both use the dame music files but can have different playlist and ratings.

  • I am running 3 ipods off my computer and now Only my touch will sync. Help!

    I am running 3 Ipods off my computer the oldest one was bought last September and now all of a sudden only the touch will sync? Why is this and how can i get them to all work again? Please help!

    It sounds as if this is a settings issue. At the moment I run 4 devices from the one machine. My iPod classic is the main device and I have it set to auto sync when attached, the others are set to only transfer the songs I want to transfer.
    When you connect the device on the settings tab (top of screen) you will have 3 parts to the screen: a) iPod - this will show you the device ID etc inc serial number; b) Version - whether you have the most update version of iTunes; and c) Options. This allows you to tick the options you want including the sync of the selected songs.
    If all else fails on the version section there is an option to restore the iPod to factory settings.
    Hope this helps
