Can I have 2 different IPods on the same itunes account and computer?

I have a nano gen. 4 and a new nano 7.
Can I have them both on my itunes account and computer?
thanks

Yes. You can easily have multiple iPods on the same iTunes account on the same computer. Each iPod will show up with its name when plugged in, and each iPod can have its own set of preferences (i.e., what music, videos, photos, audiobooks, etc. to sync).
What you can't do easily is use the same iPod on multiple computers with different instances of iTunes. One instance of iTunes has to be "in charge" of an iPod.

HT1766 can you have multiple iPhones in the same iTunes account without overwriting each phones content?

Can you have multiple iPhones in the same iTunes account without overwriting each phones content?

Hi sandexpress,
As Ocean20 indicates, you want to make sure that you have automatic syncing turned off. In iTunes Preferences under Devices, make sure you have "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" checked. Then connect each iPhone, and make sure that "Manually Manage Music and Videos" is checked on the Info page for each of them. Then go into each page for each device, and select what you want to sync to that particular device. (you would do this one device at a time - complete the steps for one of the phones, then connect the next one and do the same thing).
With this kind of setup, you can modify what will sync at any given time for a particular device once you have connected it to iTunes, but before you click on the Sync button at the bottom of the screen. If you want to change some sync options on a particular device, you would just go into the page you wanted to change (Music, Photos, Apps, etc.), make your changes, and then Sync.
If you do not have any changes, you can just hook up the phone and click on Sync.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
GB

Can you have 2 iPods on the same iTunes?

I currently own a 30GB iPod and we purchased an iPod nano for our son for his birthday. We are not sure if we can run both iPods through the same iTunes, or do they need to be on seperate computers?
Please help...I cannot find any info about this.
Thank you.

There are actually a number 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. Method two is to set your preferences so each iPod is updated with only certain playlists within one library: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
If you choose the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" you can 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. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod (For example if using a Mini or Nano that's around 3700MB for a 4G). You can read more about playlists at these links:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Or of course you could set one or both iPods to "manually manage songs and playlists" and drag whatever you like to them.
For info:
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.

HT204053 2 iPhone 5's one Apple ID - Can I have 2 linked to the same itunes account?

My partner and I use the same itunes account. We have both just upgraded to iPhone 5 and have had the odd problem using the same Apple ID. Can anyone tell me if I can or how to get 2 Apple ID's linked to the same itunes account. If we have two have 2 itunes accounts my partner won't have access to all my music etc.
Can anyone give me the best course of action?

You can have as many iPhone and other iDevices as you want associated with your iTunes account.

When i send an imessage to another person with imessage, my husband also receives the message, even though it was not sent to him. We have always been on the same itunes account and not had this problem, however, when i added the ipad, this started.

When I send an imessage on my ipad to someone, my husband also gets the message, even though he was not selected as a receipient. This just started when I got my ipad and sent a message for the first time. As a side note, my daughter received an itouch and both my husband and i were getting all messages she sent, no matter which one of us they were sent to. I turned her imessage off. We have all of our devices under the same itunes account so that we can share all music and apps. How can we get around this? I do not want him receiving all imessages that I send, this will get very annoying to him.

You can have a separate AppleID only for iMessage and keep using the other one for iTunes.
Just change the AppleID used for iMessage in Settings > Messages > Receive At

Can I have two iPhones on the same iTunes account under the new apple terms?

I have two iPhones (4 & 3GS). Is it possible to have them using the one iTunes account or do they have to have separate accounts? I had heard that there may be a change in the apple terms so that you cannot do this, but not sure if it's true?

Ipod touch & ipod shuffle on same itunes account and computer

I have an ipod touch which works fine with my itunes account. I purchased an ipod shuffle for my sister for xmas. I need to synce a playlist of songs for her on the ipod shuffle using my computer. I have purchased songs for her from itunes which are on my computer. When I plug her ipod shuffle into my computer it shows up as my ipod in itunes. How do I get music on her shuffle? She will eventually learn how to open her own itunes account and do it from her computer, but I don't whan to mess up my ipod trying to get her started on her ipod shuffle. I need help. Thanks for any help. Donna

You are simply setting yourself and your sister up for issues.
iDevices are designed to sync to one and only one computer.
If you load content on the device from your computer and then she tries to sync with her computer, the only option will be to wipe the device and it's content, then load content from the "new" computer.
Set up the iTunes account on her computer.
Put the content on her computer (either downloading past purchases or simply moving via a USB flash drive).
Sync the device to her computer.

Can I have two iPads on the same iTunes account?

You can have up to 10 Apple devices.
Use the same Apple ID in Settings > iTunes & App Stores to share purchases.
For all other services, use a different Apple ID eg. FaceTime, iMessage, iCloud, Game Center, etc.

Can I have two ipads use the same itunes account on 2 computers?

I just purchased a new iPad for my wife. I currently have an iPad 2 with a ton of apps. I;d like to be able to have her use the apps that I've already purchased, but still allow her the ability to sync the new iPad to her computer. Can i do this?

Problem. You can't share apps or purchased content between two different iTunes accounts. The iPad(s) will be completely resynched (removing apps not associated with the current account) each time you synch, depending on how you synch. IMHO, not worth the effort.

HT1589 Can I use more than 1 device ie iPod and iPhone on the same iTunes account and have different music on them

Yes. Use the option to sync with selected playlists on the music tab when your devices are connected.

Download them to the computer to which the iPod is synced, re-sync.
