2 Ipods (video and nano) on one computer.  HOW?

I have a video ipod and a nano. I am trying to get them to share the same library, but am not having any luck. Can anyone let me know how to do this. The video ipod was originally set up on a different library (windows). I de-authorized it, but it won't sync. Will I lose all existing purchased music/videos in the process?

Each of you should create a separate playlist, with only the music you want.
Then open iTunes prefs -> iPod and set it to Automatically update only selected playlists.

  • Using iPOD video and Nano on one PC

    Need help. I just got a 60 gb iPOD video and have been using iTunes on my PC for my Nano. If I download videos from the iTunes Music Store for my iPOD Video, will it cause a problem when I later plug in my Nano to update? I.E., is there a way for me to use my same iTunes library for both the iPOD Video and iPOD Nano without the Nano crashing because of the video content? Sorry, I'm new to this. I appreciate anyone's help. Thanks.

    If you are adding a second iPod for your own use, just connect the new iPod to your computer and follow the on screen instructions. It will update from your existing library and in the case of the Nano you will not have a problem with videos as it is not designed to use them. Depending on the size of your library and the type of iPod you choose you can have it update the whole library, selected playlists or you can manage it manually. With the first option it will update everything. With the second option only the tracks in the selected playlists (rather than the entire music library) are downloaded to iPod when you connect. With the manual update option, you manage what goes into your iPod by dragging and dropping selected songs or playlists into iPod:
    Loading songs onto iPod automatically
    Managing content manually on iPod

  • Multiple iPods/libraries and syncing from one computer

    I recently got an 80G Classic, since my 4G Nano was way too small. I now have 22G formy classic, but I have thought I might let my wife use the Nano. Is there any way to create a new user and library? I want to take a couple of the folders and playlists (the JOni, Norah, Emmylou etc. ) so when I sync the Nano it just syncs certain folders/playlists, but when I plug in my Classic, I want it to sync everything. I have Copytrans too, if that is a help.
    Is this possible? Really complicated? How can I do it?
    Thanks in advance for everyone's great support!

  • How can I transfer my iTunes library and playlists from one computer to another?

    How can I transfer my iTunes library and playlists from one computer to another?

    Copy the iTunes folder (Mac: Home\Music or PC: My Music) to the same location on the new computer. If an iTunes folder already exists on the new computer (it will on a Mac) replace it with one you copied.

  • My husband and I share one computer.  We want to be able to share the same music on our iPhones, but we don't want to share the same contacts and applications.  How can I set this up so we still share music, but everything else is separate on our iPhones?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    iTunes and iCloud are different accounts. You can both use the same ID for the store login and share your music etc., and use different ID's to log in to iCloud, thereby keeping your calendars etc separate.

    If the old laptop was a mac also, then use your Time Machine backup to restore you user settings and files.

  • If you lose your ipod touch and you have a warranty how much would you have to pay to get a new one?

    if you lose your ipod touch and you have a warranty how much would you have to pay to get a new one?

    Full price. Warranty covers only manufacturing defects, not you losing the iPod.
    Perhaps homeowners insurance of your credit card plan, if you used a credit card to purchase the original iPod, might cover all or part of the cost.
    Regards.

  • If I have lion installed on one computer, how do I transfer it to another without having to download it? My net is to slow to redownload it. I searched for lion os x.app in finder and couldn't find it.

    If I have lion installed on one computer, how do I transfer it to another without having to download it? My net is to slow to redownload it. I searched for lion os x.app in finder and couldn't find it.

    Downloading Lion from the Mac App Store didn't put the Lion OS on your computer. It put an application package called Install Mac OS X Lion on your computer; specifically, in your Applications folder.
    If you install from the Install Mac OS X Lion application package inside your Applications folder, the application package (the installer) will be deleted once the installation is complete. You must copy the installer to another location or to another drive/media before you run it to upgrade to Lion - if you didn't do that, then you have to download it again.
    If you did copy the installer, then you can just copy it over to any other Mac you own which meets Lion's minimum system requirements and run it again to upgrade those other Macs to Lion.
