Yes.  There is no limit to the number of iPods, iPads, or iPhones, you can sync to one computer, iTunes library, or account.  How you sync one iPod will not affect how you sync any other iPods you connect to it.
It may be a good idea to see this article on managing multiple iPods with one computer.

  • How can I sync my iPhone/iPad to a new computer without losing data on the devices?

    I have the itunes home sharing set up. I have 2 different laptops, each with it's own iTunes on it, and each has it's own library. I have my iPad and iPhone synced to Laptop #1, but this laptop is old and I want to sync my devices to Laptop #2. I've used the home sharing to transfer the songs, videos, etc to move everything from the iTunes on Laptop #1 to the iTunes on Laptop #2. But when I connected my devices to Laptop #2, I got the message saying that my devices were synced to a different iTunes and they can only be synced with 1 iTunes at a time. It warned me if I synced to Laptop #2, I would lose the data on my device, and the data on the iTunes of Laptop #2 would be transferred.
    I don't want to lose any of the data on my devices, but I want to sync to Laptop #2. How can I do this? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

    Hello again and sorry to bother you. I was hoping you could help me with iTunes 10.5. This update has been a pain. When I first installed it, my entire library was gone. Luckily, I saved the "iTunes Library" file before updating and copied it in place and my library appeared. But now the problem I'm having is that the iTunes can't find any of the "original" files, even though my iTunes Media file location has not changed (it's on an external network drive". When I click on the "Do you want to find the original file" I can find it in the appropriate folder. I checked the "Preferences" and under "Advanced" I re-mapped it to the appropriate location and already had the 2 boxes for iTunes organizing files checked. Then went to "File" and "Organize Library" and clicked the first check box and then got the "Copying Files" bar. When this was completed, I thought it would be able to find the original files. But I'm still getting the same error message about not being able to find the "original" files. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks again for your help.

  • I have all my music on an external hard drive. I just transferred all my files to a new hard drive . How do I sync all my files with my itunes library without losing all my playlists etc and keep everything intact?

    I have all my music on an external hard drive. I just transferred all my files to a new hard drive . How do I sync all my files with my itunes library without losing all my playlists etc and keep everything intact?

    Launch iTunes with the Option key held down, click on Choose Library, and specify it. If the external drive doesn't contain the iTunes database files, create a new library there and import that music.
    If the library contains any rented movies, they won't play on a different computer.

  • Can I sync my iPhone with my new MacBook Pro without losing my data & apps?

    I was hoping to sync my iPhone (which is currently registered with my PC) with my new MacBook Pro. Is it possible to transfer my apps to my new MacBook or alternatively, sync my iPhone to my MacBook without losing all the apps?
    I'm a little wary after syncing an iPod to a new laptop and losing all of my data, so thought I should check this before making any drastic changes...
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the discussions,
    A manual backup will do what you want. Here's how to:
    Make sure your iTunes account is set up on your new Mac. Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
    iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases (Apps and bought media) by choosing File->transfer purchases in the iTunes menu.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

  • Can't re-install system without losing everything on the HD

    I am trying to save 3 Final Cut Projects on my Dual 1.8 ghz G5. Here's what happened. The unit has been working fine until yesterday when I turned it on and got an Apple screen with a turning gear and nothing else. I have another system on my second internal drive so I booted from there. Here's what I tried :
    disk utility said disk OK but would not repair permissions gave a exit error.
    disk warrior rebuilt it same problem with disk utility and Apple Screen
    I reloaded the system OS X 10.5 big mistake, It created a previous folder but failed to install. Now if I run install it wants to erase the disk, there is no archive option. I can see the data on the damaged main drive but do not know how to copy it to a clean install. Or put a new system on the damaged disk.
    My rescue plan is to clone the damaged main drive and then using the clone, try to move the applications and data from the clone to the clean drive. Will this work? What system folders need to be moved too?
    Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Naturally the back up I have with time machine is so old it does not have the 3 projects I need to save.

    From the OS on the second HD, copy the FCP projects to it. If it's a complete clone of the borked one, then after doing that, erase the borked one, and restore the good one to it.

  • Cannot sync a family members ipad to my itunes without losing everything?

    I have my ipod touch and ipad mini synced with my settings but i am trying to transfer some of my movies to my dads i pad. When i plug his into my computer it says if i sync it will lose all of his settings. Is there any way to do this without losing them?

    Sorry to say that there is not.  Each device is associated with an iTunes library that it has already synced with.  This prevents illegal file sharing. 

  • How can I sync my iPhone to a new (empty) iTunes without replacing everything on my phone with the new library?

    I recently had my MacBook stolen.  I have an iPhone which had selected playlists, photos, ringtones, and apps from my old iTunes.  Now I have purchased a new MacBook Pro and would like to sync my iPhone with my laptop, which has a whole new (empty) iTunes library. However, when I choose "sync" my phone with the new iTunes, it says it will erase all items on my iPhone and replace it with my new iTunes library(which is empty).  Can someone please help me??  I really would like to keep these photos and playlists!!

    You can transfer items on your iPhone to iPhoto, iTunes, etc. the software merely transfer the data, it does not store it. Very handy software to have around.
