Can I connect my ipod to 2 computers?

Just bought my first ipod. First used it with my laptop but now that ive bought things from itunes on my PC at home, it won't sync them to my ipod because it says 'i'm not authorised to view it on this computer'.
I'm confused.
Does that mean i can only use it with my laptop because thats the one i originally set it up with?

To use it with multiple computers you need to set it to Manually Manage Your Music on the original computer you set it up on. If you are talking about purchased music, make sure your home computer is authorized on your iTunes Store account.

  • I can't connect my iPod nano 6th gen to iTunes 11.1.

    I can't connect my iPod nano 6th gen to iTunes 11.1. It keeps saying 'it could not be identified properly". I've tried all the steps on troubleshooting page but nothing's successful. Anybody got some help?

    I found I had the same problem so I uninstalled iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Apple Application Support and then redownloaded the latest version of iTunes which reinstalled everything I uninstalled and I was able to sync my 1st Gen iPad and my 3rd Generation Nano with iTunes 11.1

    Hi, I don't know which Apple ID I used to register my Ipod Nano. I had to restore my Computer and now I can't connect my iPod to iTunes again. I have my serial number and ECID. I'm using Windows, BTW, sorry!

    Search your email for the word Logic (and set the search to All) and you should find the receipt (so long as you didn't delete it)
    Other than that.. simply contact Apple directly and ask.. Make sure you have your transaction details ready for them as they will need it...

  • Can i connect my ipod classic to my car radio via bluetooth so that I can listen whilst driving?

    Can I connect my Ipod Classic to my car radio using bluetooth (or any other way) so that I can listen through my radio whilst driving?

    Yes, get an iFM transitter from eBay or Amazon.
    Search for Griffin or Monster or just iPod Classic FM transmitter and charger, they are inexpensive less than US$30.
    Get one with charger or else you iPod might run out of battery faster.

  • Can I connect n iPod Touch to powered speakers?

    I have an old pair of computer powered speakers. Can I connect an iPod Touch or Shuffle directly to the powered speakers? I would like to use the speakers in a garage with the iPod.

    The speakers just have the 3.5mm plug.
    If this is to plug into the back of a computer to get sound, then yes, just plug it into your touch headphone jack.

    hi
    how can i connect 2 ipod's to my pc? i have just purchased a mini for my wife and Itunes that is installed for my ipod will not recognise the mini. any help will be greatfully received.
    thanks

    Make sure you've got the latest version of iTunes. Other than that, you should be able to just connect both iPods at the same time, if you want.

  • Can I connect my iPod classic or universal dock with optical

    Can I connect my iPod classic or universal dock with optical?

    Well, no... not at least with the Apple docks.
    Optical Audio is also called S/PDIF. It is a purely digital signal designed for specific kinds of home theater and HIFI systems.
    The iPod classic does not have such a connection... that being said,  HOWEVER  
    There are some iPod docks that use S/PDIF out.

  • Can't connect my IPOD touch to WRT300n

    I just got a IPOD touch and I can not get it to connect to my WRT300n router. I have it set up for WEP 128bit security. My IPOD keeps finding my network but then asks for a password. I enter the password and it does not work. I am assuming this is because of my WEP security. Everything else in my house that is wireless (laptop, 2desktops, 6 gaming systems) all required me to enter in the WEP key to be able to connect them to the router. The IPOD does not ask for this key so I don't know what to do. I don't feel I really need the security setting. If I can not connect the IPOD with the WEP, how do I change my security setting from WEP to none? Any help with this would be appriciated. As I see it right now i just bought a $200 IPOD and if I can not even connect to my own home network for internet it is just a expesive peice of junk.

    Login to the Linksys Setup Page by typing 192.168.1.1 in the address bar..Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the Wireless tab...Here Wireless Network mode should be mixed. And Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz... Click on "Save Settings"...
    Click on Advanced Wireless SettingsChange the Beacon Interval to 75, Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304, Click on "Save Settings"...
    Also try to lower down the security to WEP 64-bit under wireless security.
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

  • Can't connect my iPod Touch! :(

    I can't connect my iPod touch to my iTunes. I updated to a newer version (10.0), but everytime I try to hook up my iPod it tells me I need version 8.0 or later. How do I get an older version? Or update my iPOd?

    been here for 2 and a half hours now trying all the crap that emanates from this support site and nothing works. I have re-installed itunes 3 times including 2 complete clean outs as per this sites directions. THe ipod touch with 4.0 software will not sync with itunes 10. THe windows system recognises the ipod but itunes doesnt. I get a message when I connect the ipod that it needs software re-installing which i have tried to no avail. The system worked fine till the last update of the itunes software. THere is no USB link showing on the computer to an ipod in the services stuff deep within windows and right now I would happily take this stuff and bin it were it not for my daughter wishing to have just one thing from apple that for once worked.

  • CAN I CONNECT MY IPOD CLASSIC TO ANY COMPUTER AND UPDATE ANY MUSIC THAT I HAVE PURCHASED FROM ITUNES ON MY IPAD?

    CAN I CONNECT MY IPOD CLASSIC TO ANY COMPUTER AND UPDATE ANY MUSIC THAT I HAVE PURCHASED FROM ITUNES ON MY IPAD?

    Plug the iPod into the new computer.  When it pops up on the left sidebar, right-click on the iPod and select "Transfer Purchases".  Make sure that you Authorize the computer to play content purchased with that account, or else the music will not play.
