Can/how do i use a 2nd ipod with same itunes account? please help

I dont use itunes/ipod. My husband is in Afghanistan and he would like me to buy him a 2nd ipod perhaps a nano so i can download his music and send that 2nd one to him.
I dont know much of this but when i connect the new ipod nano to his itunes, wont it erase all his itunes? i somehow remember something about the itunes synchs to what is on the ipod (which would be nothing on this new one).
any direction will help as i only have a small window to do/send this to him within the next days.

There are a bunch of ways to pick what you want to sync to his nano. When you plug in the nano, if you make sure the device on the left panel in iTunes, on the main panel you'll see a bunch of tabs in which you can select what is synced. Click on the "Music" tab and you'll see that you can pick playlists, artists, or genres.
The first option, playlists, is a very common technique. You create a playlist in iTunes ("File" - "New playlist") and then drag-and-drop music that you want to put on the nano into that playlist (and make sure you select this new playlist in that "Music" tab described in the previous paragraph).

How do I place a 2nd iPod on my iTunes account so that....

...neither iPod loses its particular apps, games, music, etc when it synchs? Yes, I know this is supposed to be simple, simple, simple. But it wasn't, wasn't, wasn't EVER with the 2nd iPod's predecessor.
Brief history: I have an iPod. Yay. All very fine and well. Synched it with my computer and it worked and we lived happily ever after -- until my 10-year-old an iPod last Christmas and I tried to create an account for it on the same computer, using Apple's directions. Hah! Upshot: The two iPods then lived happily never after together and much cursing rained from my mouth when "Method Three" resulted in the erasure of my own iPod's library at iTunes.
I managed to restore that using my own iPod -- though my library was renamed "Previous iTunes Libraries" and I never have managed to successfully rename it. It remains "Previous iTunes Libraries."
Meanwhile, that awful burp was enough to get the second iPod working and thereafter we never could get the thing to synch without destroying my own iPod's library -- even though it was recognized as a second iPod and there was a second account and everything. Consequently, we stopped synching the stupid thing which was OK since the 10-year-old could charge it without connecting to the computer and he was using it mostly for games and a few songs which we downloaded wirelessly.
Then his iPod screen cracked -- apparently, it's not the best idea to let them slide between sofa cushions and then sit on them. Luckily, its one-year protection plan was still active and we just got a brand-new replacement. Stupidly, I tried to synch the thing again last night in an attempt to download the games and history that he had so it could go on the new iPod. Sigh. You know: Big mistake. My own iPod's library is now full of swiss-cheese holes and I've lost things that I'd taken off my iPod so I guess they can't be replaced. I decided to forget trying to save his iPod's history and we're starting over, from scratch, with the new iPod. He'll have to get apps, etc, and start over again with his games, etc. And I pray to God that we can set up the iTunes account so it actually works this time. Please! Help! Me! Do! This!
I've been told that Method Two (second iPod is just a different playlist) is best but what about apps? If both iPods have, say, Angry Birds, does Method Two save two separate sets of Angry Birds, each with its own history? I figure my lost songs/apps are gone forever as is everything that was on his iPod even though it was purchased with my user ID and all that. I figure this is a bad, bad dream but I am hoping you will help me wake up from it into a nice, shiny, smoothly working iPod world.
Thanks for your time and I appreciate all help! The new iPod is not going to be used at all until I'm somewhat confident/hopeful that I can pull off this allegedly simple and easy operation.

9850,
you can do it by creating sub-folders within the folder that is selected to be synced.
e.g. Folder "Photo" has been selected to be synced to your iPad.
Create two sub-folders e.g. "Family" and "Vacation" within "Photo" folder and put photos in both sub-folders instead of "Photo" folder.
Now sync your photos and in photo's tab, after you have selected "Photo" folder to be synced, make sure you select all Folders as example below:
Once completed you will find both folders "Family" and "Vacations" are in your iPad's album including Camera Roll. e.g. below:

Can you install apps on multiple iphones/ipods from same itunes account?

Hello, My first post so please be gentle. I will be picking up my 3g in an hour or 2 and have a few apps lined up including super monkeyball. My wife has an 8g touch. We have seperate pc's each with their own library and installation of itunes although both signed in to my account. Itunes has let me download super monkeyball on both pc's ( same account ). Will it let me install the game to my iphone and my wifes touch? I'm pretty new to itunes and have never even purchased music through it yet but I understand purchased music can be downloaded to 5 seperate pc's and unlimmited ipods? is that correct? I would be surprised if this was the same for applications.

Your answer is yes although you were going to attempt it in a few hours anyway so why bother asking? Oh that's right you're excited

Yes, you can have as many devices - iPhones, iPods, iPads - as you like using the same iTunes account.

Try the following changes to the JS file
Lines 103 and 104 change the values
this.showDelay = 100; // was 250
this.hideDelay = 200; // was 600
Comment out line 286
Spry.Widget.MenuBar.prototype.bubbledTextEvent = function()
// return Spry.is.safari && (event.target == event.relatedTarget.parentNode || (event.eventPhase == 3 && event.target.parentNode == event.relatedTarget));
Comment out line 366 and add new lines 366 and 367
var self = this;
this.addEventListener(listitem, 'click', function(e){self.Click(listitem, e);}, false);
this.addEventListener(listitem, 'click', function(e){self.mouseOver(listitem, e);}, false);
// this.addEventListener(listitem, 'mouseover', function(e){self.mouseOver(listitem, e);}, false);
this.addEventListener(listitem, 'mouseout', function(e){if (self.enableKeyboardNavigation) self.clearSelection(); self.mouseOut(listitem, e);}, false);
I have not tested the above changes ontouch screens; they do seem to work Ok on desktops.
NOTE: Line numbers could be different because of the difference in our versions.

A friend gave me a 1st generation Apple TV. Can I set it up on my TV with my iTunes account or is it forever linked to his account?

In Setting>Computers on AppleTV remove any Computers (known iTunes libraries) listed - the top one is the 'sync' library and will let you sync your iTunes stuff (720pHD max @ 24fps) to it - deleting the existing entry will delete all media on AppleTV. Other libraries are 'streaming only' requiring iTunes to be running on the LAN. When you choose Add Library/Computer (I forget the exact text) you will be asked to enter a code in iTunes to 'pair' them.

HT4527 How do I transfer songs from ipod to computer / itunes account?

I have a bunch of music on an old external HDD so I can get away from all those CDs, but recently I have changed computers and now a bunch of my songs show up as 'unable to locate'. I want to manually manage my ipod and get the songs I have on it now in my new computer / itunes account.
HELP!

I have exactly the same problem and have no idea how to do it. I am too scared to try random things in case I lose all 800 of my songs on my iPod!!!
I don't really know how these posts work so I'm assuming that someone will (hopefully) post the answer on here so that I can find out how to transfer my iPod songs to the library.
Please help,
Kate

Can I use 2 iPhones with the same iTunes account? help...

At the moment I have an iPhone 3G but my wife doesn't. I have a Windows Vista machine at home that has all our music in iTunes and all the apps I have downloaded from the app store. We only have 1 login to our windows vista PC that we share, we don't have individual signons.
On Friday I will be upgrading to the 3Gs and my wife will also be getting one.
My question is can we sync both iPhones with the same PC using the same Windows login and the same iTunes account, i.e. share all music and apps with both iPhones?
Thanks

2 Ipod with different Itunes accounts...can't get music from other ipod

I tried finding a similar thread but no luck....
My boyfriend has an Ipod and an Itunes account w/his old computer, which he no longer has. I have an Ipod shuffle that I have an Itunes account on my own pc. Whenever I plug in his Ipod to my pc to read/upload music it says his ipod is already linked to another Itunes account. If I chose to sync his ipod he will lose all his music? Is this true? Also whenever I plug in his ipod it recognizes it but does not show any of his music? Is this normal? I just want to be able to access his music on my pc?? Any advice will help?

There is a chance everything will go. If nothing is seen from his iPod on your iTunes then I don't believe anything is on it anyway. Usually you can still see the files, but are unable to play them.
