2 Separate iPod Users, but 1 iTunes account - how to separate downloads?

New users here. One computer; one iTunes. My daughter has her iPod; I have my iPod. I don't want her music on my iPod, and vice versa. How do we download or sync and get only the music we have each chosen in iTunes? Thanks for any help you can give me.

There are basically two methods for organizing multiple iPods' content on one computer; create separate user acounts, or separate playlists to sync for each iPod (I find the playlists to be convenient).
This article explains the details:

    If have separate iCloud accounts and want to keep your all your iCloud data separate, you can create separate user accounts for each of you, then sign into your individual iCloud account within your user account.
    If you want to just add both iCloud calendars on your Mac, you can sign into one iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud, then add the second account in System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud and only check Calendars with this second account.

  • How can i switch an ipod from my itunes account to my sisters?

    i am giving my ipod to my sister but i don't know how to remove the ipod from my itunes account and add it to my sisters new itunes account

    The easiest way to change the account you are using on your mobile device is to scroll down to the bottom of the iTunes Store or App Store on the device and tap the Apple ID button. Then:
    - To sign out, or to sign in to a different account, tap the Sign Out button.
    - To sign back in, tap the Sign In button, then tap either Use Existing Apple ID or Create New Apple ID, and follow the on-screen instructions from there.

    No. You can sync as many ipods as you like.

    I want to dl music from 2 different itunes accounts how do i do this or can I!I could with my old apple ipod but when I try do it wit this one the only option is to erase and sync or cancel?

    That's not true. It's one computer at a time, has nothing to do with accounts. If the computer is authorized for both accounts & the music is in the same iTunes library, it will sync just fine to an iPhone.

  • I have an ipod and Itunes account, how do I add my daughters new Sony mp3 player so we can purchase music?

    I have and ipod and itunes account, how do I add my daughter's new sony mp3 player so we can purchase music?

    Home sharing only allows you to stream content from a computer's iTunes to an iOS device or another computer (and to copy from the computer to another computer), you can't use it to copy items to an iOS device.
    If the apps are still in your country's store then you should be able to redownload them on your iPad via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it, and for music (if you are in a country where music purchases can be redownloaded and they are still in the store) then you can redownload them via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad. Or you can copy them from your iPod to your computer's iTunes library by connecting it and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option and then sync them to your iPad.

  • A friend of mine put music on my ipod from her itunes account. now i cant put my music up there from my itunes account without erasing the other songs. how can i fix this ?

    A friend of mine put music on my ipod from her itunes account. Now i can't put my music up there from my itunes account without erasing the other songs. How can i fix this?

    "A friend of mine put music on my ipod from her itunes account. "
    This is not legal.  You have no legal right to that music.
    " Now i can't put my music up there from my itunes account without erasing the other songs. "
    That is correct.
    How can i fix this?
    There is nothing to fix.  The ipod is designed to stop you from being able to steal music as you are doing.
    Erase the music you got illegally and sync your own music to your own ipod.

  • SEPARATION of Itunes Accounts, libraries, and separate iclouds...HELP!

    my wife and I have separate itunes accounts.we have separate music on our ipods, and iphones...every time we sync to the cloud something somewhere gets screwed up...contacts, music, apps etc. How do we set up separate accounts to keep things separate?
    I am sorry if this isnt clear...
    We just bought another ipad 2 for her birthday. Will the Cloud only sync one user?  Is there a way to either combine it all, or just make it simple for her to have her own stuff?  She doesn't want or need all of the apps I have...and certainly the music is different...
    HELP!!!

    See if this link helps.

  • TS3367 We have 2 iPad2s on the same iTunes account how do we face time ach other?

    We have 2 iPad2s on the same iTunes account how do we face time ach other?

    Some users create another Apple ID just to use for FaceTime and Messages, but I have 4 devices using both apps and I use one Apple ID on all four. I added another email address on the other devices as the contact at email address and kept the Apple ID email address on my iPad as the contact at email address.
    Settings>FaceTime>You can be reached for FaceTime at>Add another email address. Add the email address, Apple will verify it. Go to the InBox of that email account, read the email from Apple, follow the instructions to complete the verification. Go back to Settings>FaceTime and uncheck the Apple email address and check the address that you just added. You can also tap on the blue arrow next to the Apple ID email address and remove it in the next window if you like.
    Do the same thing in Messages and ...obviously you need another working email address. You can use your wife's own email address on her iPad as the contact at address.

  • HT4436 we have 5 devices on one itunes account how do I give them each their own icloud account and still share the itunes account?

    we have 5 devices on one itunes account how do I give them each their own icloud account and still share the itunes account?

    You need a unique AppleID for each iCloud account.  So grab some free gmail, hotmail, aol, yahoo or whatever email addresses to make five new AppleIDs.  Now, everybody make an iCloud account for themselves, and keep the existing shared AppleID and password just for use in the iTunes and App Stores.  You can also each use your own unique AppleIDs to make iMessage accounts and keep those separate as well.

  • My daughter and i share an itunes account. how do i delete her and set her up with her own?

    my daughter and i share an itunes account. how do i delete her and set her up with her own?

    You need to make an iTunes Store account in her name and with her unique Apple ID. Note that everything she has purchased and downloaded under your Apple ID will not transfer to hers. She will need (or you will) to repurchase all of her iTunes Store items.
    She will also need her own user account on the computer if you share the same computer.
