Adding an iPod video to my computer that has iTunes + iPod shuffle on it

Question

Recently purchased an iPod (with video) and would like to add it to the iTunes that was loaded with an iPod shuffle software on my computer. Can the iTunes support two different iPod devices? If so, how do I do this without losing or deleting the iPod shuffle playlist?

Answer 1

Just connect your iPod and follow the on screen instructions, it will connect to your existing iTunes and update: This article is more about two people managing their iPods on a single computer but you can check it out for additional information: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
For info: iPod 101
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.
