Can I put my ipod on a computer that already has another ipod on it without doing any damage?

My ipod got the message "iTunes has deteced an ipod that appears to be corrupted......"
I did everything suggested and nothing helped. My ipod was working perfectly prior to my attaching it to the computer, which itunes didn't recognize.
I reset everything, the ipod is now empty, and still the computer won't recognize it.
Can I connect this to another computer that already has an ipod associated with it without causing any problems to the owner's ipod or the music libarary?
If that computer recognizes the ipod, then my problem lies in my computer and not the ipod.
Thanks

It should work because I have 2 iPods connected to my iTunes and everything syncs perfect most of the time and with no corrupted sign, maybe it's your computer. iTunes is'nt the best either so it may also be iTunes that has the problem.

How do i put a shuffle on a computer that already has an ipod

i have plugged the shuffle in. the taskbar recognizes there is new hardware but i tunes hasnt recognized it yet.
also, how do i put a playlist i have created for the shuffle on it?

Keith. I'm sorry to say this but you need to search. This question has been asked a million times before.
You CANNOT DIRECTLY put a dvd on your computer. you need a software that will "rip" the DVD (DVD Decrypter) to your computer, and then the ripped file will need to be encoded (Videora IPOD Converter) so that you can then add it to the itunes library and then to your IPOD.
There are already several threads on how to use those programs already in this forums. If you have any more questions though, please go to their respective sites.

Do you mean you do not have a backup of your stolen computer?

Putting music library on a computer that already has an itune library on it

Hello...I have a problem that I can't get an answer to. I have a 60gb video ipod with about 22gb of music on it. My old computer went down and my son installed his ipod on muy new one. I can't get it to recognize my library and to allow me to import and manage my music onto my new computer. Anyone who can help? thanks!

There are a few different ways to use two iPods with one computer, have a look at this help page for suggestions: How to use multiple iPods with one computer
Once you've decided on how you are going to use the iPods (single library, multiple library, different Windows accounts etc.) there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
iRepo Mac and Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
One last thing, if your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7 installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes 7.3 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that way you can continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed above your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Whichever retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc. Then depending on how you plan to use the two iPod on the one PC you may want to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

How Do I Get Music From Another Computer That Already Has ITunes/Ipod insta

Here's the story - I have a Video Ipod. I have music on it from my ITunes that I installed on my computer (PC). My sister has her own computer with her own itunes and her own ipod installed on it (same model Ipod and same version Itunes and also a PC). I want her music. I want it on my Ipod. How do I do this?
When I connected my ipod to her computer it said that another user was using Ipod software and that they had to log off before it would recognize my ipod. How do I do this without affecting her Itunes/Ipod settings? Help? Thank you....

what you are asking is illegal.. sharing music is illegal.

How can you install FCS 3 on a computer that already has FCPX?

Ok so, I wiped my computer to install Lion, and then installed FCP X. I now want to install Final Cut Studio 3, but it won't let me install Final Cut, Motion, or Compressor (the other apps install fine). Presumably this is because I have downloaded the new versions of those respective apps from the app store.
I know you can install FCP X on a computer with FCS3 on it (and still be able to use both versions of FCP) but can you do the opposite? If so I haven't found out how (short of installing on a different disk/partition of course). I tried moving FCPX out of the applications folder (in hopes that it was as simple as the installer checks the apps folder first for another copy of Final Cut) but that simply moved an alias and as far as I can tell, FCPX cannot be moved out of the applications folder.
Anyone have any ideas or experienced something similar?
Thanks!

Hey Brad thanks, but the link you provided is the opposite of what I need. That link is for if you want to install FCPX on a system with FCS 3 already on it. I have FCP X already installed and need to install FCS 3 on the same drive.
I cannot move the FCPX, Motion 5, or Compressor 4 applications to a new folder, because when I do it only moves an alias over for some reason (not the actual application).
@Ronnie yes I know I can install another copy of OSX on another drive/partition and install FCS 3 on that, but I am trying to not have to do that. Clearly FCPX and FCS 3 can exist on the same partition if you install FCS 3 first, so why can't I do it if I already have FCPX installed? Seems silly. I also do not want to have to reboot each time I want to go into FCS3, not to mention all of the disk space I would lose by installing the OS on one of my other internal drive (which currently are all filled with Media drives, so I would have to repartition a sizable chunk of one of them just for FC Studio).

Can Adobe CC be installed on a computer that already has Adobe CS6 installed?

I have Adobe CS6 installed on my laptop and desktop. I have recently acquired a subscription to Adobe CC. Can both of these be installed on the same computer without interfering with one another?

Hi.
If you have already activated CS6 products, installed on your computer, you can have issue on activating your subscription of Creative Cloud.
For your information if you have the Creative Cloud subscription, you can install also the CS6 version.
Creative Cloud Help | Install, update, or uninstall apps
The issue is verified only between CS6 products and Creative Cloud.

Have done both suggestions, still not working. Could it have somehting to do with my local network? I am using a wireless Internet provided by my apartment building so not sure if apple tv and my computer are not technically on the same "local network?"
apple tv and main computer are connecting to Internet fine. Just cannot see my itunes on apple tv.
any other advice? My itunes is turned on to home sharing. i entered the same apple itunes account into aple tv. but appletv keeps saying my computer's home sharing is not turned on...but it is.

Adding another iPhone to a computer that already has one registered

My iphone was recently stolen, and I am getting another one to replace the stolen one. Since I will be registering another phone to a computer that has an iPhone registered to it that no longer exists, will I be able to register another one? Also, I am on a family plan with my parents and siblings, so will I be able to keep the same account and number? Currently, I have suspended service from the stolen ipod.

An iPhone is not registered to a particular computer. You can activate an iPhone with one computer, and sync it with another. You can sync iTunes content and transfer photos from one computer, but you can sync contact information, calendar events, and bookmarks with multiple computers - with two Windows PCs, with two Macs, or with a Mac and a Windows PC.
You will be able to activate and sync your replacement iPhone with at&t with iTunes on the same computer that you activated and synced your iPhone with that was stolen. You will be able to activate your iPhone with the same account and phone number, but if you contacted at&t to report that your iPhone was stolen, you need to contact at&t to inform them that you purchased a new iPhone and you want to activate your new iPhone with the same number before you do the activation process with at&t.
iTunes creates and maintains a backup for each iPhone that is synced with iTunes on the same computer. After activating your iPhone, select Restore instead of syncing, and select from the backup for your iPhone that was stolen. Your settings from your iPhone that was stolen will be restored to your new iPhone before the sync process.

How can I put CS5 on a new computer that is replacing my desktop?

My 9-year old desktop was destroyed by a virus. I now have a Windows 8 laptop as a replacement. How do I go about installing my CS5 program on it? I have the disk and its serial number.

You will want to deactivate the software if it is no longer being used on your old computer. You can do this by going to Help>Deactivate in an application like Photoshop for example. You can then install the software on your new computer.
Please be aware that only Creative Suite 5.5 and 6 have been tested with Windows 8.

Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. If you try to sync it with a new or different iTunes library, it will erase what is currently on the iPod and replace it with what is in the new library.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
