2 ipods on 1 itunes program

I have a 20gb, 4G clickwheel and would like to add a nano. I've searched the archives with no luck for an answer.
Can I run the 4Gen and a nano on the same itunes? Can some songs purchased from itunes be on the 4gen and a nano?
TIA,
Mark

hi Mark!
I'm currently running two 4Gs out of the same itunes, and they have all the same songs on them (including Music Store purchases).
there's some tips on the "single itunes library multiple ipods" strategies in these documents:

Putting songs on ipod back to itunes program

I am trying to get the songs from my ipod playlists back onto itunes. can someone please help me with this as I can't get it to work.
Many thanks

As Juan-Carlos has already said there are some there are a number of third party utilities you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod. This is just a further selection.
YamiPod
PodPlayer
iPodAgent
iPodCopy
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive posted in this thread: iPod to iTunes
You may already be using the iPod in manual update mode but just for anyone who may be starting with one set to automatically update:
If your iPod was set for automatic update change it to manual update. While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (For anyone on a Mac, hold down Option and Command ⌥ and ⌘). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box.
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 again.
Another way is to connect your iPod and before it starts to sync, click the little X on the right hand side of the display beside the "Do Not Disconnect" message. The display is the little window to the right of the iTunes control buttons: iPod Interface
Or you could look at the method described in this link: How to keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod
Go with whichever method you feel most comfortable. If at any point you are asked if you want to link your iPod to a new library, click No.

TS1393 I cannot eject my iPod using either itunes or the eject button on bottom tool bar beacuse it says something is in use by another application or "The device 'generic volume' cannot be stopped because a program is still accessing it" Synced new iPad

How can I eject my ipod when neither itunes not the "safe to eject" button will allow it. Itunes says "...cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application." The safe to eject button says "The device 'generic volume' cannot be stopped because a program is still accessing it." The has never happened before. The only thing new is that I added an iPad yesterday. Thanks.

Go to your computer's System Tray and try ejecting. If you can't eject, there is an application that is trying to access your iPod.
Go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx and download ProcessExplorer.
Go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555665 and follow the instructions under Resolution.
Note that this is a good, general process any time you can't access any file.
In my case an update to RealPlayer installed a program called RecordingManager that was accessing my iPod.

I have music that is playing within the iTunes program, but not on my iPod. How can I fix this?

Skipping songs
The iPod seems to fail to play all of the occasional track that iTunes, and indeed other PMPs, are happy to play. There is probably some minor technical error in the internal structure of the file which is normally ignored by other playback software but causes the Classic to bail out.
If you use Windows you may like to try scanning the files with MP3Validator which can find & fix some internal MP3 errors.
Some users have also suggested that completely removing all id3 tags and then replacing the information can be a solution. This can be achieved in iTunes by selecting an affected track, right/control clicking and using the option Convert id3 tags> None. Since some files may mistakenly have more than one tag you may need to repeat this action. Once you have confirmed that no tag is present you can replace the tag information using Convert id3 tags > V2.3 (I believe it is recommended to avoid using V2.4).
Personally I have found files for which these solutions don't work. In this case the workaround is either to re-rip the tracks or get iTunes to re-encode the file, e.g.convert AAC to MP3 or vice versa and sync the newly encoded file to the iPod instead. Because transcoding will cause a loss of fidelity you should keep your original file so that if a future iPod firmware resolves this issue you can put your original files back onto the iPod.

HT201413 I am receiving a message saying the iPod "TRACER's iPod" can not be synched. The required file can not be found. I ran the iTunes program repair and restarted both the computer and the iPod. Any suggestions on what else to try?

That can sometimes be caused by a damaged ipod photo cache.
If you remove the current ipod photo cache, does that get you past the error?
For instructions on where to find it, see the following document:

Where did you get the audio books? Audio books from the iTunes store and Audio.com go into the Books section of your iTunes library.

Any error messages when you sync the iPod? Do all of these tracks play okay in iTunes?
How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library? In other words, what options and configurations do you have in place from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration tabs?

I have the latest version of Itunes downloaded and installed to my computer. I have a music library already created for my replaced Ipod Nano. I've just purchased a new Nano. When I try to access the Itunes store from the Itunes program, it gets hung u

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Itunes, but it still gets hung up when trying to access the Itunes Store from the Itunes program.
I've been unable to register the new Nano or sync it with my library.

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

TS4062 stuck on step 4 of 7 every time i try to sync my ipod touch to itunes. then the program seems to freeze? im stuck

cant sync my ipod touch to itunes for the life of me! everytime it gets to step 4 of 7 finding purchased items it just freezes then itunes seems to crash.
i must have tried five times now
any help greatly appreciated

Can you check the health of your iPod Hardisk, by doing the iPod Disk Diagnostics as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
Have a nice day!
