Can I sync more than one of my own ipods to my own itunes library? Same computer.

Hi,
I lost my 6th generation ipod nano a few months ago. Bought a 4th generation, synced to my itunes library, and now found my old 6th gen nano. The 6th gen nano has my old music on it, but I'm actually more interested in just being able to sync it with my current itunes library. I've since added songs and changed a few playlists. Note - I've been using the same computer all along. If memory serves, I may have had to reinstall itunes software when I purchased the 4th gen ipod for syncing - but I'm pretty sure all my music was still on my computer. Any advice welcome. Many thanks!

Thanks so much for the link stedman1  - and it's likely the third option since I'm the only one on the computer. However, when I connect my newly re0discovered gen 6 ipod, a dialogue box appears stating An Ipod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the ipod. Then try again. If the problem persists, please uninstall Itunes. Then install Itunes again.
I would think the all my apples devices would just be able to plug into my library. The gen 6 was mine - so even though i lost it for a while, I would assume, it's still would read as mine. And I'm not tech savvy enough to really trust that all my music on my computer will be reinstated in to the library. (Not to mention the window on the ipod itself is asking me to reset or cancel - which means I lose all that other music. I'm worried if I reset my Ipod gen 6 to get it to try and sync with my existing library, I 'll lose both the music on my Ipod (which is ok) AND not be able to recover and then sync the music in my library. (which is not OK). Any suggestions or advice for the technically challenged?
Many thanks!

    I think you are using the same Composition Class on both project. On the properties tab, you can change this number (e.g.: EDGE-1637270).

    Can not sync more than one photo folder at a time from my computer to mu iPhone. How do I get the drop down box to choose my photos, so I can manually pick photo folders???? Lost all my photo folders on phone.

    Create a parent folder on your computer to contain the folders of photos you want transferred to your iPhone. Select the parent folder under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. To add an additional folder of photos to your iPhone, place the folder of photos in the parent folder followed by a sync.

  • Can I sync more than one iPad with one iTunes account?

    I lost my iPad and bought another and when I sync it erased all my apps and movies from my iPad

    I am confused by your statement. You said you lost your iPad and bought another. They you said when you synced it erased all you apps and movies from your iPad. If you lost your iPad all the info is gone too. Did the new Ipad have apps and movies on it that were obtained on a different syncing computer?
    If you had a backup of your original iPad and bought a new one when you connected your new iPad to the computer used to sync the original iPad iTunes should have given you the option to restore to the new iPad the backup of the original iPad.
    If an iPad is synced to one computer and you they sync it to another computer you will get a message that says if you continue the contents of the iPad will be erased and replaced with those of the new syncing computer.

  • Syncing more than one Calender to .mac

    is it possible to sync more than one calendar to .mac so they both appear on the same URL?

    VictoriaSueno,
    Yes it is possible.
    Publishing calendars to .Mac says: If you're using iCal 2.0 or later, you can create Calendar groups and publish them to .Mac. If you publish a Calendar group, all the events and To Do information from the calendars in the group is merged and published in one calendar. You can also choose to publish individual calendars in the group.iCal Help in Organizing your calendars says: Choose File > New Calendar Group, and name the calendar grouping. Then drag any calendars that you want to add to the group.
    Tip: You can also create a new calendar group by pressing the Shift key on your keyboard and clicking the Add button in the lower-left corner of the window.
