2 Ipods.....Same PC

Is there any way you can connect 2 ipods using seperate versions of itunes? (so the 2 ipods have their own songs and don't have to share!)

Multiple iPods, same computer....HELP

I know this question has probably been answered, but I have tried other things and nothing works.
I have Windows XP, and I have my own account on it and my own iPod(4th gen, click wheel) and my sister has her own account and her own mini iPod. Our music is shared in the shared music folder on the computer.
Problem is, how do we use multiple iPods on the same computer. I am having trouble because whenever I/we plug in our iPod to the computer, it does not load to iTunes and instead just shows up as something in the E drive. How can I make it recognize each iPod individually without hassle?
Also, is there a way to not have everyone log out to update my iPod? I get a prompt that says everyone must log out before accessing iTunes. Any help would be great...thanks!

There are basically two methods for managing multiple iPods on one computer. See here:
Method 1 - Create different Windows users accounts for each iPod on this computer.
Method 2 - Create a playlist in iTunes for each iPod.
To make Method 2 work, connect one of your iPods, and click on it in the left-source panel.
Under the "Music" tab, and set your option for a specific playlist(s) under the "Sync Music" option.
Do the same with your other iPod; not connected at the same time as the other one, though.
For more details on this matter, check out Apple's Support article about it:
How to manage multiple iPods using one computer
I hope that helps you.

Replacement iPod, Same Problem.

I just got my replacement photo ipod and paid thirty dollars for S+H. Now, the new iPod has the exact same problem. What route should I take? Will I be able to get another replacement? What will Apple do to ensure it doesn't happen again?
I'm very upset and would like to hear what I should do.
Thanks.
-Lake.

What email address did you use? Apple does not have email support.
See if anything here can help;

If not, your iPod will need to be sent in for service. You can either take it to an Apple store, or request service online here;

Good luck.

MULTIPLE ALBUMS ON IPOD, SAME MUSIC.

I have been having this problem for a long time now and have finally decided to ask for some help.. The problem is that when i put an album on my iPod touch from itunes sometimes it may show 2 or even 3 albums of the same album. Though all of the albums have the exact same songs. here's an example -
this is quite annoying. also when creating a "smart playlist" for "recently added" on my iPod touch it works in itunes but completely messes up on my ipod.
just thought i would ask everything i need help with, hopefully someone can help!

iTunes and iPod have slightly different rules for ordering and grouping content. In particular the iPod does not observe Album Artist, each may have different settings for how to treat compilations, and inconsistencies in certain fields can have unexpected results, such as generating multiple covers for the same album.
See Grouping tracks into albums for more information.

2 ipods same computer

how do have separate library's for different ipods on the same computer

See these articles about using more than one iPod on one computer, and with either one or more iTunes libraries.
Multiple iPod installations.
How to use multiple iPods with one computer.

2+iPods-same comp

How do I use more than one iPods on the same computer?

It's actually quite simple and easy.
I have two 2ndGen Shuffles and manage them on one Comp; the Mac recognizes them as distinct and different (I gave them diff. names), and sometimes I even have them both connected at the same time, no prob. I load one w/ music and the other w/ audiobooks/podcasts.
I don't really understand your question about how to use more than one - they appear separately in iTunes.
What probs do you have or anticipate? What are your plans for using them that you expect probs?

2 iPods same Library different syncronizing results

My partner and I have 2 iPod 30Gb w/video that we syncronize with the same iTunes on the same computer. All of our settings are the same. He just plugged his in to rpdate and charge his iPod and it has deleted ALL of the 39 music videos and over 100 songs that we have purchased from iTunes. How does he get all of this back and is it safe for me to plug mine in, or will the same thing happen to me? All of the music and videos still show up in the Library!

This didn't work.
It is coming back with an error that says that there are 68 files that could not be copied because you are not authorized to play them on this computer. They are all files that we purchased from iTunes as well.

Why do I even bother??? New iPod; Same Nonsense

Sorry for venting, but I'm so da*n tired of Apple. I finally gave up on older iPod classic as it was unstable for about a year before finally giving up.
I just bought the new iPod Classic 80 gb. Every time I connect it to iTunes, I get a message that says "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes."
So I go through the whole process of restoring it - and it seems to be doing it - only to come up with the same message as above. This has happened at least 10 times.
As background: NO, I haven't otherwise handled the iPod; it's new in the box. YES, I completely wiped the old iTunes off my computer; and downloaded the latest version of it. In other words, it's a clean version of iTunes.
HELP; PLEASE. I'm totally on my last legs with Apple. Their BS about being stable, dependable, etc., is nothing but a bunch of BS marketing cr*p.
Thanks

i bought two ipod touch 4th gen. for my daughter and son they are both attached to the same apple id and are on one computer. However when either one of them downloads something it goes to the others ipod also which then takes memory space from the others ipod. Is there anyway to fix this?

Turn off automatic downloads.

I have had the same problem - Shared Photo Streams (evidently) do not update dynamically. To be fair, Apple's own website descriptions of Shared Photo Streams don't explicitly state that they should either.
On your iPad (or any device not showing the photos) go into Settings > Photos & Camera and switching off "Shared Photo Streams". Go into your Photo app and check that they have been removed.
Now go back into the same Settings sub-menu and re-enable "Shared Photo Streams". Back in the Photo app, you will see the shared stream update with the correct photos.
I have the exact same problem with any shared photo streams I create on my iPhone - they do not appear on my iPad unless I do the above. The same goes for iPhoto/Aperture on my Mac.

Charge connectors for 5th Gen iPod same as 3G iPod Touch?

Is the AC charger and the USB cable from the iPod Touch 3G the same as the ones for the iPod 5th Generation? The connectors look the same but I'm just making sure there are no incompatibilities / voltage, etc.

Hello opto,
Is the AC charger and the USB cable from the iPod Touch 3G the same as the ones for the iPod 5th Generation? The connectors look the same but I'm just making sure there are no incompatibilities / voltage, etc.
Yes. It should work just fine.

Four different IPODS same computer

How do I update my tunes on four ipods (for four different people) on the same computer without losing what is already stored on them.

There are basically two ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
a) Sharing a single iTunes library and user account.
b) Creating multiple user accounts and having separate libraries.
Sharing a Library
If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish):
Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Or you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
Loading the iPod shuffle differs slightly but if you have one it can still be used with the others, for details have a look at this page:
Loading songs onto iPod shuffle - Windows
Separate User Accounts
Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists

2 brand new mini ipods, same problem!

Me and my brother each bought a mini ipod today, and we both have the same problem. the ipods are skipping parts of songs and getting stuck, like a cd player does when the cd is scratched. please help!

Mine had a similar problem after I plugged it into my computer's speakers to play. I sent it in for repair and they sent me a new one...still don't know what the problem was though.
