Can i have 2 ipods connected to the same computer and itunes

if i have 2 ipods how do i get all of my music to both of them and can u even connect 2 ipods to the same computer????

If you want all your music on both ipods, just plug them both in and iTunes should automatically sync them. If you want different music on each, then read this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432 or set them both for manual update in the iPod preferences.

    If so, how? Thanks.

    See these articles about using more than one iPod on one computer, and with either one or more iTunes libraries.
    Multiple iPod installations.
    How to use multiple iPods with one computer.
    If you have the latest iTunes, an easy way to create a new library is to hold down the 'alt' key whilst opening iTunes (for Macs), or hold down the 'shift' key (for Windows).
    This will give you the option of either using the current iTunes library or creating a new one.
    There are various methods of transferring different songs to different iPods with a single iTunes library.
    One is to manage the songs manually.
    With this setting, you can drag and drop songs/playlists etc onto the iPod from iTunes, and also delete and/or edit songs which are currently on the iPod without affecting the iTunes library.
    If you wish to keep the convenience of automatic sync, then you could set the iPods to sync with "selected playlists". This setting can be found in the iPod summary screen under the 'music' tab. With this setting, different playlists can be transferred and later deleted from each iPod without affecting any playlists stored in iTunes or the playlists on the other iPods.
    Also, on the 'summary' main page you will see the option to "only sync checked items". With this setting selected, if you remove the check marks from any songs in iTunes, they will not be transferred to the iPod. You can restore the check mark if you want to put the songs back on the iPod at a later date.
    Be aware that when playing songs in iTunes, any songs that do not have a check mark against them will be skipped over and will not be played.

    I have  anew computer and my ipod was attached to the old one, how can i have my music download to the new computer and sincronize it.

    If you no longer have the old computer this will be very helpful and If you have other content - apps, books, movies, that you want to transfer to the iTunes library - you need to transfer your purchases from the iPod to the computer as well.
    Take a look.

    This works the same way whether you have a Mac or a PC.

  • My sister and I each have an ipod touch. We use the same computer and itunes but each have our own apple id. Everytime I want to update an app on my ipod it asks for my sisters apple id login!? help!

    My sister and I each have an ipod touch. We use the same computer and itunes but each have our own apple id. Everytime I want to update an app on my ipod it asks for my sisters apple id login!? help!

    When it asks for another ID on an App Update, it means that the application was purchased under your sister's ID but downloaded to your device from the iTunes library that you share. Even though you both have your own Apple IDs, since you are syncing on the same computer, you are using the same iTunes library.
    Whoever purchased the app is forever tied to it, and you can only have one version of a particular app in a single library....
    Does that make sense?

  • Multiple Ipods connected to the same computer

    Is it possible to have two Ipds connected to the same computer, synchronizing with two separate Itunes libraries ?

    Yes, here is an article that lists 3 methods. I prefer method 2, but it's a personal preference.

  • Can two people with their own iPhones use the same computer and iTunes?

    Can two people with their own iPhones use the same computer and iTunes?

    Yes. My wife and I each have our own Apple ID and used the same computer to sync our phones with iTunes. The best way to do this is set up separate user accounts on the computer. If you are logged in to your account on the computer and your wife wants to sync here phone, you would log out and she would log in. These keeps all your stuff separate and avoids a ton of confusion.

  • Can you use two iPod's on the same computer?

    I currently have an iPod Video, and my mother wants to get a shuffle or nano. The problem is, we only have one computer that will let iTunes run. Is it possible to use two iPods on the same computer, or even with the same iTunes?

  • Can I have multiple activation​s on the same computer?

    I have an Lookout Integrator package activated and running. Question is, I
    also have a 50 I/O Dev. System. Can I have both the 50 I/O and the
    Integrator package activated at the same time, and which one would come up
    when I start Lookout?

    I would think, lookout starts and uses the "best"/most featured license.

  • We have two iphone 4s on the same computer and after we did the ios6 upgrade the text messages are being sent to both phones. How do we stop this?

    My wife and I's iphone 4s' are both on the same computer.  When we did the new upgrade to ios6 it started sending text messages to both of us from each other.  For example I sent my wife a text "Hey" and then my phone received a message from Me "Hey."  Another example is that a friend sent my wife a text and both of us received it from that friend, but not in a group message. We both deleted our icloud account and the problem still happened.  Then we checked that we were both signed in to our own personal accounts for imessage and we were.  After turning off imessage the problem went away.  Any ideas on how to make imessage work without having it send messages to both of us?  

    I also have the same problem and changed the send & receive addresses . But it always seems to revert back to 2 addresses/numbers on the second , my wifes phone . Which isn't the best .

    No, I believe this is normal behavior, and you should NOT be able to connect both at the same time...

  • Can I have 2 music libraries on the same computer?

    I have an iPod and my wife would like to purchase one aswell. All of my music resides on my desktop. Our tastes in music differ a bit so she would like her own library and I would like mine. If we purchase a new iPod can we have two libraries?
    Thanks.

    When the iPods belong to different people, there are basically three ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
    a) Sharing a single iTunes library
    b) Creating Multiple Libraries in a single user account
    c) Creating multiple user accounts.
    Note: When you are sharing an iTunes library, you don't have to set each iPod to update in the same manner, you can mix and match from the options below as each iPod has it's own update settings
    Sharing a Library and/or User Account
    If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish): Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
    Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the 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 some other time if you choose. 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 you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
    Loading the iPod shuffle differs slightly but it can still be used with the others, for details have a look at this page: Loading songs onto iPod shuffle - Windows
    Multiple Libraries
    It's also possible to have multiple libraries in a single account. To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key (or Shift key in Windows) when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
    Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one. This can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library: Using multiple iTunes libraries -Windows
    Separate User Accounts
    Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists
    I don't use Windows so I can't give you a step by step on that one, however I can point you to another web page which should help you out. You can read about Windows user accounts here: Using Windows XP User Accounts

  • Can I have 2 HD DVRs in the same room, and control them separately?

    New FIOS TV being installed in two weeks, making the switch from Dish Network. 
    If I have two DVRs in the ame room, and two remotes, can the remotes be set up to work with each DVR separately, or will one remote cause both DVRs to respond?  WIth my Dish Network DVRs, I can set a remote code for each - can I do the same with the two DVRs I'll be receiving?
    Thanks!

    The TiVo doesn't do Video-on-Demand, but you would still have the Verizon DVR for that.
    Since you can control multiple TiVos from a single remote in the same room, you could add a second TiVo if you needed three DVRs.
    Message Edited by DallasTX on 12-06-2008 06:39 AM
    As it seems that all the shows I want to watch are on at the same time, having two DVRs (4 tuners) would resolve the "what to record" problem I keep running into.  The fact that you can control two TiVo DVRs with one remote is a great plus.  However, how did you hook both of your DVRs to one set?
