Can I put two Itunes libraries on one ipod

Wondering if I can put my husband's itunes library onto my ipod, so that we won't need two ipods.

to do this you need one itunes library. I understand you have two iPods are they both syncing with hte same itunes library. If so just sync the all content onto one iPod if you have enough space. Some peope have a lot of music and video.
If you have two itunes libraries that you sync each ipod with then you need to merge them these are your options if itunes are on separate computers

If they are on the same computer but different logons then copy the music foler from one account to the other.
Once everything is in the same iTunes you may also need to Authorise the computer with the other persons Apple ID
Then you should be good to go

    Is it possible to put two iTunes libraries on the same computer?  What is the best way to do it so the two libraries are not connected?

    give them distinct names. launch iTunes while holding the option (⌥) key, click on choose library when prompted, and select the iTunes folder of the desired library.
    FWIW, there are 3rd party apps that help with managing multiple libraries, notably:
    PowerTunes
    iTunes Library Manager

  • How can I consolidate two iTunes libraries onto one disc?

    OK... here's the deal...
    I am permanently in a nursing home and was only available to bring my MacBook Pro to my new "home"... however, I had a back-up of my Intel iMac's iTunes library on a small 250GB portable drive so what I would like to do is:
    1) re-direct my iTunes folder to my 'old' large 'main' iTunes library, and;
    2) somehow consolidate the 'new' library on my MBP to that library (about 12 gigs) without having to open each track to add it to the 'newest' library.
    I don't think that this is what "Consolidate Library,,," does, is it? I'm afraid to try as that "This cannot be undone." is rather daunting.
    Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated. Fortunately, this won't affect my iPod as there's no way (yet) to put 120GB on a 60GB iPod!

    Hey,
    I've been doing a similar thing recently. Have you tried importing either through home sharing on itunes or just transferring what you need by accessing the other MacBook if you mount it in your shared places? Takes a while wirelessly but should get it done..... I think!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes but you may run into issues if you want them both to run iTunes Match or automatic downloads.

  • How can I combine two itunes accounts into one?

    How can I combine two itunes accounts into one?

    Items purchased from the iTunes Store are permanently associated with the account from which they were originally purchased.  Apple provides no way to change this.
    However, if you wish to put content from two accounts into a single iTunes library, you can easily do so.  Use the command File > Add File (or Folder) to Library.

    Not sure what you mean.
    An account is a user name and password.
    Sign into whichever account you want to use for purchasing.
    Authorize the computer for both account to listen to the content.

    can i have two itunes accounts on one computer

    Hello Barry
    It is a yes and no answer. Yes you can but you cannot have them in the same iTunes library or one of the accounts cannot be associated for 90 days. You would need to have either a separate user or separate iTunes library to have both Apple ID’s on the same computer.

  • HT202213 Two Itunes libraries on one computer.  Any way to share content between the two libraries?

    We have 2 ITunes libraries on one computer.  Is there a way to share movies, music, etc. between the two libraries?

    To your second question, probably the easiest way is to set up another user account on your machine. Then when that user opens iTunes, it will be a new library (empty) that they can put anything they want into, and not corrupt your library.
    With another user account, they can also customize their own desktop photo, desktop icons, etc. so lots of benefits doing it that way. Works out great for me and my 13 year old daughter so I don't have to see the latest Emo band hearthrob's face on my desktop.

  • Combine two itunes libraries thatare one on computer

    I have two iTunes libraries that are on my computer (I use the shift button when opening to choose which one I want to open).  So since I have two (one for iPhone and one for iPod) the music in them is mismatched because I use my iPhone more often and downloaded songs get placed into that library.  My question is do I have to manually go through and find out which songs aren't in both libraries and import them or can I do this automatically? I don't want to merge them, I just want them to have the same music in them so I can just uncheck which ones I don't want to sync.  Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    Drag the larger library to the external drive normally, launch iTunes with the Option key held down, choose it, drag the media files from the second library into the open iTunes application window, and then import the playlists.

  • HT1451 If I have two iTunes libraries on one computer, how do I know which one is opening when I click on the iTunes icon on the desktop?

    If I have two or more iTunes Libraries on one computer, how do I know which one is opening when I click on the iTunes icon on my desktop?

    You cannot.
    When you sync to a new library, it will erase the current content.
    Use your backup copy of the old computer to copy everything to the new one.

  • Can we have two iTune accounts on one computer

    Hi everyone,
    Just wanted to know if I can create two iTune accounts on one computer.
    My teen and I right now share one account and the problem gets confusing
    when we both want to use Itune gift cards (it's hard to keep track separately).
    I have a 2nd gen Touch and my teen has a 2nd gen Nano but might be getting the newer nano. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    You can. Log in and out as needed, or create a new Windows XP user account.
