How can I use two Ipods on one computer.

I was wondering if it is possible to use 2 Ipods on one computer without having to reload all of the music to the new library.

If you are adding a second iPod for your own use, just connect the new iPod to your computer and follow the on screen instructions. It will update from your existing library. Depending on the size of your library and the type of iPod you choose you can have it update all songs and playlists, selected playlists only or you can manage it manually
If the iPods belong to different users then there are actually a few methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
Just to summarise what's in the link above which is a little out of date:
Method one is to have individual Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you completely separate iTunes Music folders and libraries.
Method two is to set your preferences so that any or all of iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library:
Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. You can read more about playlists at these links:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs

Another option when using a single library is to set any or all of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod

Can I use 2 iPods in one computer?

I have an iPod Nano and my brother has an iPod Mini. We only have one computer in the house. Can we plug and use both iPods in one computer without affecting the contents of each of our iPods? Because it might delete my songs when he plugs in his iPod and vice versa.

There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look at this article and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
Method two, "automatically update selected playlists only" would allow you to create a playlist specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod Mini or Nano (around 3700MB for a 4GB or 1800MB for a 2GB). You can read more about playlists at these links:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
A third option is to set one or both iPods to "manually manage songs and playlists" and drag whatever you like to them.

Can u have multiple Ipods on one Computer?

I have a iPod and would like to get my husband one but I want to make sure that we can have two ipods connected to the same computer. We use the same computer at home. I have my ipod dock connected now, would I need to add a dock for his or can he use mine? Do I have to change any settings to allow more then one ipod to use the same library?
Thanks

We are using it for our department and it would be great to see who created what form instead of it being all one name.

Each person should have their own account. You can easily share the forms with other people in your department. You will be able to see who the author of the form is.

Using multiple ipods on one installation if itunes

Please help - Is it possible to use multiple ipods with one itunes install with Win XP? background - we have one pc in our family with itunes, I am the only one with an ipod (a nano) my mum and sister want to get ipods too and we have been told all the music would be transferred from the main itunes library to each ipod. We each want our own music area. Is it possible for us each to have a library (or music folder) that won't write over each others ipod? hope this makes sense...I can't find anything clear in the itunes or ipod manual..Jake, aged 9.

I have the exact same problem..
Please please email me when you get an answer

Can I use two ipods on one PC?

Hi, I have my own ipod, but would like to get another for my boyfriend but he doesn't have a PC, therefore everything would have to be done from mine, including different albums etc. I am sure I can do this but how does it work?
Cheers
Sue

Hello Soo,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Yes you can. And there are several different methods for how to handle syncing two iPods to one computer. For the information and steps on how to handle these methods, I would check out this Apple support document.

Can you use multiple plugins on one piece of media?

can you use multiple plugins on one piece of media?
...so for example have one plugin for a UI control bar, another for tracking, and another for advertising?
If this is possible how? What types of plugin would each plugin be and what sort of media element would be required?
Or is this not the correct approach? If not what would the correct approach be?
Thanks in advance for support.

I have got this plugin to set it's proxiedElement.
To do so, I needed to follow David_RealEyes advice too.
But I still can not acheive what I set out to find out, all I was trying to do was trace the current time of the videoElement, to begin to understand how plugins work. Can anyone advise please? Thanks in advance for support.
I thought to acheive this I would just need to add a listener for like this:
dispatcher.addEventListener(TimeEvent.CURRENT_TIME_CHANGE, onTimeChange);
Then write the function like this:
private function onTimeChange(e:TimeEvent):void
             trace('**********onTimeChange: '+ e.time)
...But this doesn't work.
What am I doing wrong?

Can we use multiple queries on one template

Can we use multiple queries on one template

Hi,
if you're using data templates for your data set, you
can put multiple queries in the XML data template.
The queries may then be linked (or not) by the "link

Grtz.Following you answer here...do you know eventually how/if possible to preview a report (with XMLP Desktop) that is using data templates for the data set?
Thanks,

Friend has new iPod touch but no computer - can you have multiple devices under one account number? If so how do I do it?

I have an iPod and have an account set up already with iTunes. My friend has brand new iPod touch but no computer. She only wants to download CDs onto iPod but I couldn't seem to do this without being prompted to set up an account or it overriding the information for my iPod - any help would be appreciated.

How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer

Can I use 2 ipods on one PC?

Hello, I've just got my first Ipod - a shuffle. However my boyf' has already created an account using our PC. When I attach my shuffle it opens up his itunes.
Any music I download goes onto his itunes.
Is this normal and is there anything I can do to set up my own itunes?
Thanks
Sam

If the iPods belong to different people, there are basically two ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
a) Sharing a single iTunes library and user account.
b) Creating multiple user accounts and having separate libraries.
Sharing a Library
If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish):
Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
Loading the iPod shuffle differs slightly but it can still be used with the others, for details have a look at this page:
Loading songs onto iPod shuffle - Windows
Or you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
It's also possible to have multiple libraries in a single account. To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key (or Shift key in Windows) when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one. This can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library:
Using multiple iTunes libraries -Windows
Separate User Accounts
Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists
I don't use Windows so I can't give you a step by step on that one, however I can point you to another web page which should help you out. You can read about Windows user accounts here:
Setting up new user accounts in Windows 2000

Can I use 2 ipods on one itunes account? I have also used 2 computers.

I'll try to make this clear.
I had one computer and one ipod set up on itunes. The computer ran on Windows XP.
I gave the computer to my niece and left the itunes account alone.
I bought a new computer that runs Windows Vista. I installed a new itunes account.
I bought a smaller ipod to record audio books. I wanted to keep the larger ipod for music.
Now I have the smaller ipod on the new computer. If I decide to download music, I can't use the larger ipod that I want to use for music. How can I own two ipods and use itunes? I am not file sharing. I just wanted two devices for two purposes because I like to keep the audio books separate. Now if I go back to the original ipod (the larger video one)it is not recognized on my new computer. A lot of the music on the original Windows XP computer was from CDs that I owned, not just music I purchased. I probably should have just stuck with one ipod, but I didn't. I am so confused.
Can I put the music on my old ipod, from the old computer, on the new itunes? I would then just use the new ipod. It probably has much more storage than I realized. Then what happens when it syncs? Would I lose everything? Is there a machine that can transfer music from one ipod to another, then I could just sync it all on the new ipod and new computer?

Hi mverza
Yes you can use as many ipods as you like on differnet itunes libarys. As long as you manually manage your ipods and don't sync. You can put your purchased music on as many ipods as you like (as long as you manually manage your music and you connect to the computer you bought it from). You can transfer purchased music to your ipod for a maximum of 5 computers (so you can play music purchased music on only 5 computers) although apple have changed the rules so there is no file protection)
But see here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420 for more infomation.
