  • 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    Just to summarise what's in the link above which is a little out of date: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.

    Another option when using a single library is to set any or all of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod

  • 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.

    Yes. iTunes treats each device as a separate unit, and you can have different preferences for each.

  • How can I use two Ipods on one computer.

    I was wondering if it is possible to use 2 Ipods on one computer without having to reload all of the music to the new library.

    If you are adding a second iPod for your own use, just connect the new iPod to your computer and follow the on screen instructions. It will update from your existing library. Depending on the size of your library and the type of iPod you choose you can have it update all songs and playlists, selected playlists only or you can manage it manually

  • 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 we have two itunes on one computer?!

    Hello.
    My dad has just got an ipod shuffle for xmas, and was wondering if we can set up two itunes on our computer so we dont get songs mixed up etc - I cant seem to do this and his ipod has been registered on mine and so his music goes into my library - help

    It's possible to have multiple libraries in a single Windows user account. To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Shift key in Windows when launching iTunes. 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. The new library will be empty until you add content to it. To get back to your original library you need to close iTunes and open it again while holding down the shift key, this time choose to open an existing library and navigate to its location. Multiple libraries 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
    Another option is to create a separate Windows User account for each person on your PC. 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: Create A New User Account In Vista

  • 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 we have 3 ipods on one computer

    I have an older model (2GB)ipod nano. I just got my 2 children an 8GB each. I am having a hard time creating them their own library and syncing them. How do I go about doing this. It will show hers connecting but it switchs to connect and disconnect. And my sons doesn't even do that much. I don't know whats wrong.

  • Can I have Two iPods on one iTunes???Help Me!

    Hey There,
    I'm just wondering if I can have 2 ipods on the same iTunes (can i put my library on a friends new ipod?????)
    Help me! Last time i tried something with i tunes i lost my music.
    Thx

    Khiemke,
    Theres two ways to use One computer with 2 iPods and have each iPod have its own music, one is to creat 2 playlist, another is to create 2 user accounts in windows. This is all explained at the link below, personally I think the 2 user accounts in Windows is Best. If you go this route make sure "Fast User Switching" is OFF in windows, iTunes doesn't like this feature on.

  • Can I have two ipods on one account temporarily

    Hello All,
    My daughter has an old (extrememly worn out) ipod touch.  We are giving her a new ipod touch for Christmas. My question is this. I would like to give it to her all charged and ready to go with all of her apps, songs and everything set.  Can I do this while she still has her current ipod and not have her know about it.  She is savy enough to do it on her own, but I'd just like to have it all setup when she gets it!
    Thanks much!
    Pat

    Yes, you can add as many ipods as you like. It doesn't even have to be temporary.
    Just plug it in and sync it. iTunes will recognize it's a new device by its serial number.

  • Can I Have two Ipods on one itunes?

    Hello I need help.I have a nano 2G but I'm going to get an ipod classic.Can I just plug the new ipod to my current iTunes and use both ipods with it?.

    Yes, I have a 3G and a shuffle and it works fine with one, the other, or both connected. Has for some time.

  • Can i use two ipods on one computer

    im using a 30GB

    Well, obviously, you can't fit as much on the Nano as you can on the 30 gig. Beyond that, you can do pretty much as you please. iTunes will recognize each device. My solution is to set each iPod to "Sync Only Selected Playlists". I then have playlists which are specific to each iPod as well as playlists that get synced to all of them.

  • Can you synch two ipods on one computer?
