Can't get 2 ipods on same account to work anymore!

My partner and I both have an iPod touch and we've always used the same account since we got him one. Now, having both updated to v5.0, I can't get past the final step of the update process because when I try to update the apple id it tells me that this account is already in use. I've tried turning on home sharing but that hasn't worked. So my ipod is now just a very expensive paperweight. Any ideas on how I get both devices recognised on this account?

Just what are you trying to do?  I updated my iPad and iPod to iOS 5 and use the same iTunes account without any problem.  Are you doing something with iMessage? FacTime?

    How can I get my mac email account to work?

    That requires you to enter the configuration correctly.  You can find out the configuration for your email from your ISPs website in most cases. Or if you're using Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail you need only Google something like:
    "Gmail configuration for Apple Mail"  or  "Hotmail configuration for Apple Mail" (without the quotes). 
    That should get you started..

  • Can't get my nokia messaging email to work anymore

    It was working fine then yesterday all of a sudden it quit syncing to my email. I enter password and it  says verifying password please wait.....then it says login unsuccessful please try again.
    Well I have more than one email so I thought I just set up my other one. Then it says unable to connect to server please try again later. I even tried my daughters email like she suggested and it still doesn't work.
    I don't know what happen. It was working fine yesterday and then today it quit working.
    My phone is a nokia 6790

    Anyone have any answers? I just spent an hour or so on the phone with Nokia support with no luck. I don't even think the guy knows what to do. He kept asking me to hit forgot password at email.nokia.com and I kept telling the guy theres no such button. He acted like I didn't know what I was talking about. Then he had me to go into my access point and see if its set up correctly. Well obviously it is cause I can still surf the net on my phone just can't get this darn Nokia messaging to work anymore. Any help will be appreciated.

  • I have 2 ipods on same account( 2 different kids in household) how can I separate them into 2 different accounts?se

    I have 2 ipods on same account( 2 different kids in household) how can I separate them into 2 different accounts?

    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:
    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. If you've had no success with this you can have a look through the guide on this page: Loading songs onto iPod automatically
    Another option when using a single library is to set one or both of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod
    You can read about Windows user accounts here: Using Windows XP User Accounts

  • Can i get in my itunes account without  using my ipod as it is broken

    can i get in my itunes account without  using my ipod as it is broken

    You can re-download music from the store using iTunes on your computer. Music from other sources should already be on your computer in the iTunes library.
    As for photos, you will have to restore the last backup you made to another iOS device to get back what was in the camera roll.

  • Email--I can only get emails from one account

    I Can only get emails from one account on my iPad and iPhone 5

    Hi LinneaH,
    If you are having issues with getting emails on your iPhone or iPad, then take a look at the article below to give you some troubleshooting options to get it working again. Make sure that the settings and passwords are correct for your email and if you still have issues, then you may want to remove the email account from your device and then add it back in.

  • Can two Iphones have the same account/email address?

    Can two iphones have the same account/email address? I bought two phones-one for my wife and the other for myself. They are both under the same account /itunes account /email address-Would this cause a conflict with the two phones?

    No, as long as you want to share the same account for iCloud's services like Mail, Calendars, Contacts, Reminders, Notes, iCloud, Documents etc.
    I personally would create two accounts so that everyone could have and use  heir own mail account, address book, create meetings, reminders etc. without reading and deleting stuff of the other person.

    Take a look at Apple's document for authorizations -> iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization.
    You can deauthorize all computers from iTunes. All you have to do is click iTunes Store, click your account name in the upper right corner of iTunes, then deauthorize all.
