Can i hav 2 ipods on 1 computer?

i hav an ipod (1st gen) and used it on our computer and evrythings kwl, bt my mum got an ipod 4 her bday can(2nd gen) can she hav hers on the same computer? she pluggd hers in nd uploaded itunes 7 and all of my music is now on her ipod is ther anyway she can hav like a seperate bit? cheers

There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Your Mum's iPod was at the default setting of automatic update which is why she got all your songs when she connected to your iTunes. If you set up a separate Windows account then she can have her own iTunes library and auto-update from it if that's the option she chooses.
Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look at this article and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
Another option when using a single library is to set one or both of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod

  • Can you have two ipods on one computer?

    Ok I have a mac computer and an ipod nano and everything works great, but my mom is now getting an ipod nano. Is there a way to have two ipods on my computer, where each ipod has it's own library and account so we don't have to share all of our music?

    There are actually a few methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
    Just to summarise what's in the link above which is a little out of date:
    Method one is to have individual Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you completely separate iTunes Music folders and libraries.
    Method two is to set your preferences so that any or all of iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library:
    Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Mac
    Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. You can read more about playlists at these links:

  • Can u have multiple Ipods on one Computer?

    I have a iPod and would like to get my husband one but I want to make sure that we can have two ipods connected to the same computer. We use the same computer at home. I have my ipod dock connected now, would I need to add a dock for his or can he use mine? Do I have to change any settings to allow more then one ipod to use the same library?
    Thanks

  • Can I have two Ipods on 1 computer

    Hi
    I am buying a new 5g Ipod and will be giving my old 5g ipod to my partner. As a windows user can we both have Itunes on the same PC. Also, we have similar taste in music. Can I transfer some of my music/videos to his Ipod, whilst maintaining seperate Itunes accounts. Finally, when I receive my new Ipod will I have to restore the old one so that he can create a new account on it? Thanks for helping.

    See these articles about using more than one iPod on one computer, and with either one or more iTunes libraries.

    "when I receive my new Ipod will I have to restore the old one so that he can create a new account on it?"
    No. You can restore it if you want to (to erase whatever's on it), but it isn't necessary. You don't create "accounts" on an iPod, your partner can go ahead and use the iPod as is.

  • Can you have 2 iPods on 1 computer?

    I've had an iPod mini for almost 2 years and I'm out of room so I want to buy the 5th generation iPod but I don't know anything about hooking it up. I already have my mini's library and everything set up on my computer and someone told me I have to set my new one up on a separate computer. Is this true? Anything you can tell me about how to set up my new one would be greatly appreciated! Thank you =]

    you can have two libraries on one computer.. bottom line, you dont need another computer if you want to own two different ipods.

  • Can you have 2 Ipods on same computer and each have a different library

    I am running two Ipods on one computer. I have it set for manually chaning the songs not automatic. My question is do we have to share a library? Is it possible for us to each have our own library and if so how do you do that.

  • Can you have two iPods for one computer?

    I know nothing about iPods so please excuse me for this question that probably has an obvious answer. My sister has an iPod nano that she has been using with our computer for a long time. I just bought an iPod and was trying to set it up. So can I use her i tunes to put music on my ipod or how does it work? I am aware you are not supposed to steal music though. So what am I supposed to do?

    Yes, you can use 2 iPod with 1 computer quite easily.

  • TS1591 I just bought a second iPod touch (4th gen), but when I connect the second iPod to my computer it is not recognizing it. How can I have two iPod's set up????

    So I had an iPod touch and everything with it is fine. I just bought a second one for my daughter...exactly the same as my iPod. This second one was bought used, but was reset completely before I plugged it into my computer. My problem is... my iTunes does not recognize the second touch as a device! I can't get it to sync, so I can't get any music or anything onto the device. How can I have two iPod touches on my computer? Is there something special that I have to do to get my computer to recognize this second touch as a different device?? PLEASE HELP!!!  

    - If you are using the same USB port and the same cable and have iTunes version 10.7 or later on the computer there is something wrong with the iPod.
    - Does the second iPod work?
    - Does it charge?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Can i charge my ipod on any computer?

    I need to charge my ipod, i dont have the charger with me and i am away from my computer. I do have the UBS cable, can i charge the ipod on any computer with a UBS port or does it need to be the one its registered on?

    As long as the computer has the port that your iPod supports (USB and/or FireWire), and as long as the computer doesn't have iTunes (or if it has iTunes, when it detects your iPod, don't choose to automatically update it - otherwise, all the songs on your iPod will be replaced by whatever's in that computer's iTunes), you should be good.

  • I have 3 i phones.  Can I have multiple accounts on one computer where it keeps the contacta and calendar for each?

    I have 3 i phones.  Can I have multiple accounts on one computer where it keeps the contacta and calendar for each?

    My daughter and I both have iphones. I created an account (not separate itunes) for her on my computer so she could sync her phone/itunes but not have it interfere with mine since we have WAY different taste in music. Creating a different computer profile should work if you have separate itunes accounts, too.
    If you all use the same itunes account, you can turn on Home Sharing. That way you can all download the same content without having to pay for it again. Not sure how or if that works with separate itunes accounts.
    Hope that helps!
