Can I sync an iPod touch and an iPhone on one account?
I have an iPod touch and my dad has an iPhone. I have an iTunes account on my computer and he has his own account on his laptop. He wants some music on his iPhone that is currently in my library. Can I connect his iPhone to my iTunes account to put the music on? Will that mess anything up? Thanks!
No.
Iphone will sync with one and only one computer at a time. If you sync to another, then it will first erase the current content from the iphone and replace with content from the new computer.

I have problems to sync, my Ipod touch and my Iphone 6 in a port USB 3.0. I renewed my Lap top and when I connect any of those devices they stuck on the itunes screen, but when I return to my old lap…
Hello jose mariofromsan luis potosi,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are saying that your iOS devices are not showing up in iTunes on your Windows computer, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
On the other hand, if you are saying that your devices are only showing a Connect To iTunes icon screen, then this article may be more useful:

I have an ipod touch but i don't have enough memory and 0I get an upgrade soon for my phone and i want the iphone but the thing is, can i have an ipod touch and an iphone on the same itunes account like can i use my money on my ipod account for my iphone
Your iPhone and iPod can share the same iTunes account. Apps can be freely shared and used by one or both devices. You can't use money in your iTunes account to pay for your phone, but purchased apps can be used by both the iPod and iPhone.

Can I sync an ipod touch and an ipad separately to the same laptop
I have an ipod touch and an ipad. Can I sync them to my computer so that each remains independant of the other. When I first attached the ipad to my computer the option to start as a new ipad or sync from my ipod's content were available. I did neither and just ejected the ipad. I guess my question is: if I choose to start as a new ipad will it wipe out the data from my ipod touch or will it create a new backup?
I have three iDevices that I sync to one iTunes library and each device has its own unique content.
If you are Windows - launch iTunes and go to Edit>Prefernces>Devices. Check the box at the bottom that says - Prevent iPods, iPhones, etc. ... From syncing automatically, click ok. Quit iTunes.
Connect either of your devices to your computer and launch iTunes again. Click on the device name on the left side under the devices heading, now go into each and every tab of iTunes and select the content that you want to sync to that particular device. When you are done, click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes. iTunes will remember what you selected for that device the next time that you sync,
Eject your device, connect the other one and do the same thing. If you want -- turn auto sync back on using the procedure outlined above. -
my pc crashed...and i purchased a new one and installed itunes...how can i sync my ipod touch 2 my pc? when i connect it 2 itunes on my new pc..by defualt it will rerase everthing on my ipod
The other responder gave you a program that will transfer stuff from your iPod to your new computer. You can transfer iTunes purchaces to your new computer by:

After you move your stuff to your new computer you will have to let iTunes erase your iPod and then sync with the stuff that is now in your iTunes library. You will loose app data though. -

How can I sync the ipod touch with windows 7 64 bit
How can I sync the ipod touch with Outlook on windows 7 64 bit?
I'm having the same problem with Windows 7, iTunes has been spotty about recognizing my iPod Touch. Now that I've updates Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 (June 2011), It won't complete a sync or a restore at all on either of my Windows 7 computers.
I have gone through every troubleshooter action recommended by Apple Support, and have not been able to improve the situation at all.
I took my Touch to the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store after trying and failing to complete a restore while troubleshooting, and it restored just fine from a Mac. Unfortunately, it now gives me an error meesage (Incompatible device) half way through an attempted sync, or iTunes simply freezes.
I even tried removing the Windows SP1, but that was a mess, as my display went all whacky and iTunes crashed immediately upon startup.
The Windows 7 OS ***** in general, particularly with compatibility issues, and not just for Apple products.
Does anyone know how to remedy this situation?
I'm so frustrated and have wasted so much time on this issue that I'm going to throw it all out the window!

I own a iPod touch and I have an iTunes account but all i can download is podcasts no games or music.when I try to download games it says "request cannot be completed " could there be a problem with it ?
Please helpHonestly, these are WAGs but they're all that I can think of.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again. -
I synced my ipod touch and the library opened up with some songs missing. These songs remain on my ipod, I thought that by syncing they would return to my itunes library. But they won't. Has anyone seen this before?
You should be able to copy iTunes purchases back to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. For music purchased from other sites or copied from your own CDs then are they not already on your computer and/or on a backup ? If not then you will need to find a third-party program that can copy them off the iPod.

Can I sync an iPod Touch that is using a different MobileMe email?
Howdy! I have a MacBook Laptop, with separate user accounts for each family member (ie, the list on the Login Window). We also have a family pack for MobileMe, with separate emails.
I'm getting an iPod touch, and want to set it up with my husband's MobileMe account.
Can I sync the iPod touch to the MacBook while I am logged on to my user account and iTunes? Or does he have to sync under his own log-in account?
I'd like to be able to share the apps that I have already purchased... I know they go to my iPhone and iPad within my MobileMe account just fine, but I wasn't sure if getting another iPod touch with a different email within our Family Pack would be allowed to share the apps.
Thanks for your help!That should work, just don't synch the email account with your account, set it up manually on the iPod Touch.

Can I sync my iPod Touch with my older iPod Nano without a computer?
Keep in mind that you can't drag and drop (transfer) songs from one iPod to another using iTunes either. The music you want to add from one iPod to the other, must be stored in your iTunes library first.
