Adding an ipod touch to existing account (with multiple ipods)

Hello. My current itunes account syncs completely to my Ipod classic (much music and many playlists). I also have a ipod shuffle which I have set up to sync ONLY to its own designated playlist in the same account. I have just aquired an ipod touch which I plan to use primarily for apps, games, videos and internet. I do NOT want any of my current itunes music/playlists to load onto it (at least not initially). How can I set up this new ipod touch in my existing account and have it sync ONLY to apps that I will download for it? Thanks for your help. Cheers!

Sync configuration.

Setting up two iPod Touches on one account with gift cards for app and in-app purchases

I have multiple devices on one account - 2 iPod classics, one iPhone 3G and two recently acquired iPod Touches for my 8 year old boys. They want to make in-app purchases (for Dragonville). They each have their own gamecenter ID. I want to set up each of them with gift cards for their purchases. Is this possible?
If not, what is the recommended approach to manage all devices in one place while allowing individual devices to have a seperate payment mechanism?
Thanks.

I recommend that you

Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.
To make sure you only sync the media yoo want, configure iTunes syncing so that only checked media is synced to the idevices.

New ipod touch 4th gen, trouble with playing ipod in 06 Ford Focus?

Ive recently gotten a 4th gen Ipod Touch brand new and everything. I tried to plug it into my 06 Ford Focus which has the HD Radio Simple brand, and for some reason it shows what song im playing yet won't play it over the car stereo. Its rediculous and all it says on my Ipod was that "this accessory is not supported by Ipod Touch" even though that is exactly what is advertised in the "Simple" radio system!! In the manuel it says that I need to download the latest firmware?? I checked the Apple website and could'nt find it, i have no clue what to do.

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
You need iTunes 10.7

Why does my Windows Vista computer say the wrong iPod Touch name? I have multiple iPod Touches and after updating one of them, Windows Explorer says they are all the same name now.

Sorry for the exceedingly long title...
I have multiple iPod touches, and I just updated one of them to the newest iOS (5.0.1). Now whenever I plug in any of the others, the name of the one I updated appears in Windows explorer. How can I make Windows able to determine which iPod is which again?

iPod Classic are high drain USB devices, I hope you are not trying to connnect them simultaneously to iTunes, which will definitely hang your USB Host controller, thereby freeze iTunes.
But here is an Apple Support Article on using multiple iPods for iTunes.

When I got my ipod I made an account with iTunes from my ipod.yesterday, I made a password lock to get into my ipod and I couldn't get into it even though I did the correct one. Now it says"connect to iTunes" BUT I can't because I never registered. HELP!!

When I got my ipod I made an account with iTunes right from my ipod.Yesterday, I made a password lock to get into my ipod and I couldn't get into it even though I did the correct one. Now it says"connect to iTunes" BUT I can't because I never registered on the computer. I've tried holding the home and sleep/wake button for 10 sec and then only the home for 5sec and that might have reset it, but it didn't help. If any of you guys know what to do so I can unlock it I would appreciate it VERY much.

If you haven't done so install iTunes on your computer. http://www.apple.com/itunes/

Sharing two iPod Touches on one account

I have a 5th gen Touch, and I gave my 4th gen to my son. The Apple IDs are the same for both. The reason is that I have games I've purchased that he plays, so he doesn't want to lose them if we give him his own account. My question also has to do with music.
Is there a way to plug his iPod in (still with my Apple ID) and sync only the apps and games and music that he wants? The first time we tried to do this, it put everything that was on my iPod onto his. In a sense, we would like two different "profiles" under the same account. Will this work?
Thanks.

Using two ipod touches on one account, playlist being deleted.

I have an iPod Touch 1stGen 8GB, and just recently, my roommate purchased a iPod touch 2ndGen 8GB. The Account is registered to me, but whenever he plugs his in to put new music on or take music off, it deletes his "On The Go" playlists. My iPod doesn't lose anything whenever I put it in, but just in case, I've selected to "Manually" sync music with both the iPods, and it still happens to his iPod. Is there anything I can do to stop it?

HT1694 I did that, still can't send email, Ipod touch STILL says account information is incorrect (it's not) what now then???

I followed the steps detailed on the help page for resolving email issues with Hotmail (Live.com) did everything listed, followed all the steps, still can't send email, Ipod touch STILL says account information is incorrect (it's not) what now then???

Can you access the account on another device?
Have you tried when connected to another network?
Have you tried deleting the account from the iPod and reentering the settings since it is easy to make an error.

IPOD Touch does not sync with Address Book

Hello,
I recently purchased a 16GB iPOD Touch. I synced with itunes on my Mac successfully (10.5.1), however i am unable to get my Address Book to sync with the iPOD
Any ideas - i have enabled iTunes/iPOD to sync with my Address Book when i connect my iPOD, but no joy.
Ideas?
Thanks

I can no longer sync my iPod Touch with my Address Book. I'm not sure if this started after I updated iTunes (now at 7.6.2), but the two no longer sync. I tried clicking the advanced option (Info tab in iTunes) to copy over all contacts to my iPod, but nothing changed. I tried the advice to check only a few groups, and it did remove the other groups. So I tried reducing the # of groups I was using.... Then when I checked sync all contacts again, all the old groups showed up again on my iPod, that no longer existed in my Address Book. Strange! Also frustrating and time-consuming.
I don't think this question is "answered" yet. Has anyone found a solution? How do you notify Apple of this type of problem?

I want to use Mac Mail for my work email address, which containts multiple outbound options (i.e. hr@, me@ etc). Is there a way to set up Mac Mail to have an account with multiple outbound addresses rather than adding in multiple accounts?

This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)
http://apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

Can you have 2 ipods on the same accounts with different play list?

Can I have 2 ipods on the same accounts with different plalists?

Sure. Each iPod is identified in iTunes with its own name and you configure each one as you wish:

My question is, when i bought my sons ipod I created the account with my email, the I purchased an ipod as well and used to same account. I want him to have his own account so he can't access my itunes money.

My question is, when I bought my sons ipod I created the account with my emai, then I purchased an ipod as well, so we share an account. I want him off of my account. How do you do that, he has his own computer.

His own password for what? You can only have one password for one account.
He can use your account for items and he can also use his own account. To purchase items with a different account you go to Settings>Store and sign out and sign into the other account.
To update apps you have to sign into the account the purchased them.
