Hi Craig
Unfortunately, in your case, there isn't really a way to separate them as far as I can think.
You could try restoring from a backup, and choosing an older backup perhaps

Multiple ipods, one computer: HELP!!

We have bought two ipod nanos for our family. I had used the CD to download one, and then used the 2nd CD that came with the 2nd ipod to download the 2nd nano. before installing the 2nd ipod, the computer required me to uninstall the first one. Did I even need to install the software for the 2nd ipod if I had already installed the software for the first one? How do you get two ipods set up on one computer?!?!

ITunes can handle many iPods! The only downside of sharing the same iTunes music library, is if both persons have dramatically different musical tastes, they may become frustrated when they have to listen to the other person's music.
This is one of the reasons to use playlists, you can configure each person's iPod nano to sync up to specific playlists of music that each specific person likes to listen to, this way two people get dramatically different content on their iPods without having to manually move music back and forth to their iPods!
To configure the iPods, attach an iPod to the computer, select preferences and select the iPod tab. In the music subtab, select the specific playlists you want the iPod to draw its music from. Repeat for the second iPod and choose the appropriate playlists for that person's taste.
If you are also going to display photos on your nano, realize that the iPod loads music first, photos second. If the music playlists exceed the capacity of the nano, it will only load music. To help control this, you can put size limits on your larger playlists to make sure that there is still room on your nano for photos...
welcome to the power of iTunes & iPod!

HT3819 Isn't the five computer limit for home sharing restrictive given the many devices one household may have?

Isn't the five computer limit for home sharing restrictive given the many devices one household may have?

It is only restrictive if you have more than 5 computers.
Otherwise it is not restrictive at all.
devices do not count, only computers.
You have more than 5 computers on the same home network.

2 Ipods, 1 computer with one user account

To put my question very simple. I have 2 Ipods, one called Andy's Ipod, which is installed and shows up in the Source window when I plug it in, and another Ipod which I can't get to work.
Is it possible for the other one to also show up in the Source window when I plug it in without having to shut down Itunes or create different user accounts??
All I want is to plug either one in and have it show up in Source.
possible???
I've tried reading everywhere but the info on this aint very good.

Can iTunes share purchased content across Apple IDs within one household, OR

QUESTION ONE
Will iTunes share purchased content using TWOApple IDs, across different devices within one household?
QUESTION TWO
Should each device with a separate user have its own iCloud ID? CONCURRENTLY, should each device belonging to the SAME user use the SAME cloud ID?
QUESTION THREE
I think I "can" use one Apple ID, and just usedifferent iCloud IDs for EACH device. Am I fundamentally wrong? Am I legallywrong?
UNDERSTOOD FACTS:
1) Apple states, each person should have their own AppleID: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37
2) iCloud servicesare: mail, contacts,calendar etc...
3) iTunes servicesare: music, videos, Apps, etc...
You can sync iTunes across up to5 different computers using your Apple ID: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420, however there does not seem to be alimit of how many Apple devices youcan sync within using a single iTunes account (Apple ID). *NOTE: beware automaticsynchronization of new apps..
4) iTunesin the Cloud is a different animal altogether! This should allow sharing of all iTunes content across all “your” devices, aslong as it was purchased thru iTunes (If not, you need to shell out an additional $25/yr for iTunes Match)
SCENARIO: I got a new iPhone, and am giving theold iPhone to my spouse. ALL iTunes content has been managed and purchased using oneApple ID that matches one iCloud ID. Ideally, just like anyother family using multiple Apple products and usingiCloud; we would like to SHARE songs & Apps, but NOT share calendars, mail etc...(sharing contacts would be nice).
QUESTION FOUR
Under the above scenario, must I have a “.me email” account?
I have been reading threadsabout managing content across multiple devices, using different IDs, both AppleIDs and Cloud IDs, and there is a LOT of confusion. I'm visual, so I've attached the graphic illustrating how I "think" I should proceed. **I have not set up the new iPhone yet.
We do not have a Mac or a".me email" account, and we use Gmail.
Any help is appreciated!

I have the computer authorized to use the Apple ID content (been using iTunes since 2007).
My issue is I cannot create sperate iCloud IDs for each device. I get prompted/directed to create a new Apple ID, which is what I want to avoid. I want to use one "FAMILY" AppleID as it is, and use iCloud IDs for each device.
My logic is: ALL my purchases are tied to an AppleID, and I just want to share on devices that leave the house, like another iPhone.
So- what to do? How to get a seperate iCloud ID without a seperate AppleID? I have an iPhone & iPad, husband has an iTouch & iPhone. How to share selectively? All devices were originally setup using one Cloud ID and one Apple ID. Now I need new IDs to represent the new user on the iTouch & iPhone.

Hi, I lost my ipod one day ago, and I had all my pictures saved on my icloud. Is it possible for me to rescue them? If so, how? Regards

If you were signed into iCloud and had Photo Stream enabled then yes.
You can retrieve the last 30 days of photos from your computer or another iOS device.
Photo Stream only holds 30 days of photos on the server. Anything older than that will be lost unless you transfered them to your computer or you backed them up.
On a PC with Windows Vista, 7 or 8 install iCloud COntrol Panel: iCloud Control Panel
On a OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later: System Preferences > iCloud

Two ipods one problem

I have two ipods, one first and one second generation. The first generation model has been reset but now itunes won't see it but windows will. My second gen ipod works just fine. I have tried all the steps I could to get itunes to recognize the first gen. Any ideas. Thanks,

First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
Then try with the iPod in forced disk mode.
Putting iPod into disk mode.
Still no joy, see these.
iTunes 7 doesn't recognize the iPod.
iPod appears in Windows Explorer but does not appear in iTunes.
iPod does not appear in iTunes.
Fast user switching in Windows XP is not supported.
Windows confuses iPod with network drive

How do i create 4 different itunes id's in one household?

How can I create 4 different iTunes id's in one household so that when backing up to icloud, we can each have separate back ups?

The same way you create one, but do it four times!

I have two iPods, one from the fourth generation and another one that must be from the first generation iPod nano. Can I trade them both in?

I have two iPods, one IPod touch from the fourth generation and another one that must be from the first generation iPod nano. Can I trade them both in?
The Fourth generation- 16GB
First generation-4GB

Apple does not have a "trade in" program for iPods, other than the recycling program that gives you a 10% discount on a new iPod (at an Apple Retail Store).

There are some third-party (non-Apple) companies that provide compensation for old iPods. You can also sell them yourself on eBay.

Sick Ipod one minute, starting normally the next, plus gray scratches

Okay I am not sure which ipod I have. I do know it was the ipod which does not play full length movies and does not have the widescreen. About a month ago I noticed what appeared to be a scratch in the picture of the ipod screen, not a regular scratch and no surface scratch which could have inflicted it. For lack of better explanation it looked like it had been scratched from the inside. When I moved the click wheel the screen would light up as usual except for the spaces where it appeared to be scratched. They would appear gray/multicolored marks. At first I was freaking out since the scratching was pronounced and plugged my ipod into a wall charger hoping it would fix it to see some of the scratches fade but come back again off and on. Just today I was driving in my car about to listen to my ipod when it was working normally. I believe I left my car to run into a store and when I tried to turn the ipod on I saw an image of an ipod with x's for eyes and a sick look. I just tried again so I could accurately describe it and my ipod started up normally and I havent' charged it again or plugged it into any power source. Any ideas guys? I have a feeling I'll take it into APPLE anyway because this is too weird.

I would try:
- Another cable
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- on another computer to help deptermine if yo have an iPod or computer problem
- If a computer problem then:
- You can either backup your data and do a fresh install of Windows
- Restore your Windows to an earlier point i in before the problem started
- Wait for an update to iTunes
Yes yo can use a program like iFunBox to manually copy music and some other things to and from the iPod and computer.
Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple

Photos from an Ipod to computer harddrive

Hi Everyone,
First time on here, I have an IPOD 5 gen,
My IPOD and ITUNES were on another computer which has crashed.
I have uploaded ITUNES on my new computer but having problems transfereing the songs and photo's from IPOD to new ITUNES libary,
Can some one advise me if I can transfer whats on my ipod TO NEW itunes and can I transfer my photo's from IPOD to computer,
any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

You can use 3rd party software, such as Yamipod, to move non-iTunes purchased music to your computer.
Try this link for your photos: http://www.ehow.com/how4451862photos-ipod-pc-pc-ipod.html
Just remember if you synced your photos to your iPod they are going to be thumbnails and look pretty poor on your computer.

Connecting ipod causes computer to freeze

Hello, I'm not sure which ipod I have (a 20 gig purchased around Dec. 2004). I just got a new computer with Windows Vista because my old one (which my ipod was configured to) died. That computer had Windows XP. I installed the latest version of iTunes on the new computer and tried to connect my iPod to the new computer and it causes iTunes as well as my entire computer to freeze when the iPod is connected via USB. However, when I disconnect the iPod the computer unfreezes. I would like to synch my ipod with the new computer so I can add everything from the ipod onto the new computer. Does anyone know what's going on and how to fix it?

I am having a similar problem. My whole computer doesn't freeze just "my computer" and itunes. But both windows and itunes don't recognize my ipod. I restored my ipod using a mac (erasing all my songs) and re-restored it on my pc. (It did recognize my ipod once I had formatted it on a mac first and asked for a reformat to windows) But it would not sync once I had finished with the restore. Please help?

NOT ABLE TO IMPORT MUSIC AND VIDEO FILES FROM IPOD TO COMPUTER/ITUNES LIBRARY !!!!

Hi.... I am having IPod Nano 5th Generation. I can access music and video files (that are stored in Ipod memory) in Ipod. But when I connect the ipod to computer, I am not able to access/import these music and video files through computer. Also, I am not able to see any folders like DCIM, Contacts, etc... in the memory of IPod. Can any body help me out... ?

Search it up on google.com. There's a lot of apps that will help you do this. Check out this one:
http://www.imtoo.com/ipod-computer-transfer.html
You can also check out this video:

I tried the import software (trial version) and it was fine but I didn't want to pay for software. You can authorize up to 5 computers in the house to access your iTunes music and other iTunes purchases. Open iTunes, you can go under Store and select Authoize this computer.
Good luck!
