Can you charge an ipod on a computer that isn't formatted for i tunes?

All data is on my daughter's computer. If i were to plug her ipod into my computer to try to charge it, is that doable or not doable?

Yes, that is possible.
When it is done charging, just make sure you eject it properly. Hit the Safely Remove Hardware icon by the clock in windows and go to stop iPod device. Then the main menu will appear and you can remove the iPod without damaging it. (This makes Do Not Disconnect go away)

Can i charge my ipod on any computer?

I need to charge my ipod, i dont have the charger with me and i am away from my computer. I do have the UBS cable, can i charge the ipod on any computer with a UBS port or does it need to be the one its registered on?

As long as the computer has the port that your iPod supports (USB and/or FireWire), and as long as the computer doesn't have iTunes (or if it has iTunes, when it detects your iPod, don't choose to automatically update it - otherwise, all the songs on your iPod will be replaced by whatever's in that computer's iTunes), you should be good.

How Can you reinstall Photoshop Elements12 to a computer that its was there but loss it after installing windows 8.1

Reinstalling Mavericks depends on several factors:
if you erased your recovery partition
what OS originally came on your Mac.
I'll assume you don't have a backup available that you made before your mishap, because you didn't mention it.
That's really the take home message here: have a backup!
If you still have your recovery partition:
boot into the recovery partition (command R at restart)
use the recovery partition to reinstall Mavericks. see: OS X: About OS X Recovery
if you do not still have your recovery partition, then it depends on whether your Mac originally came with installer disks or not.
If it originally came with installer disks, you would boot from the installer disks, erase your HD, and then reinstall the OS that is on the installer disks, and then upgrade as necessary until you get to Mavericks.
If your mac did not originally come with installer disks, but you managed to erase your recovery partition, then you can try to boot into internet recovery (option-command-R at restart), and use internet recovery to erase your HD and reinstall the OS that originally came with your computer, and then upgrade to Mavericks if you need to. See: Hands on with Mountain Lion's OS X Recovery and Internet Recovery | Macworld
(the reference refers to ML but it applies just as well to Mavericks).

HT1477 can you charge a ipod shuffle 1st generation by pluging it into a computer

I was wondering if you could charge a ipod shuffle 1st generation by pluging it into a computer

It's either that, or plugging it into a USB power adapter...

Can You charge an ipod shuffle with an electrical outlet?

Do you need to have your computer to charge an ipod shuffle???

No, you don't need a computer. You can charge it with an electrical outlet, in your home, or even in your car. Go to Target or Walmart and have a look at the different chargers available. You can get a package that has a standard home-outlet charger and a car charger, so you can do either. Saw something in Walmart for about $20 that would do the trick.

Can you charge your shuffle on another computer?

I know you cant download music of more than one computer...but are u able to charge it using another computer? Im going on a long trip and how will i charge it for my return trip?

Yes. All you need to charge the shuffle is a high-powered USB port. Apple sells a wall-wart adaptor. Third parties sell car adaptors.
If you plug the shuffle into another computer, just remember to stop iTunes from deleting your files
Also remember to unmount the iPod if it doesn't do so automatically. The shuffle can charge while mounted or unmounted but if you use the "safely eject USB device" thinggy in Windows, the iPod shuffle will not charge.

Can you have two ipods on one computer?

Ok I have a mac computer and an ipod nano and everything works great, but my mom is now getting an ipod nano. Is there a way to have two ipods on my computer, where each ipod has it's own library and account so we don't have to share all of our music?

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 - Mac
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
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
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 YOU RUN 2 IPODS ON ONE COMPUTER

HI. I HAVE JUST BOUGHT A SECOND IPOD NANO 2ND GENERATION. I ALREADY HAVE ITUNES SET UP WITH MUSIC FOR ANOTHER IPOD, BUT MY HUSBAND LIKES TOTALLY DIFFERENT MUSIC TO ME. CAN I HAVE TWO VERSIONS OF ITUNES - OR HOW DO I SEPERATE OUR MUSIC SO IT UPDATES TO THE RIGHT IPOD. TOTAL TECHNOPHOBE HERE - SO ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!!!

Hi Canning0508,
Yes, you can do this.
Probably the easiest method in separating your music to go onto each iPod specifically would be to manage the iPods with their own playlist to sync from in iTunes.
For more information on how to manage multiple iPods on one computer, see this article:

Can you have 2 Ipods on same computer and each have a different library

I am running two Ipods on one computer. I have it set for manually chaning the songs not automatic. My question is do we have to share a library? Is it possible for us to each have our own library and if so how do you do that.

How can you install FCS 3 on a computer that already has FCPX?

Ok so, I wiped my computer to install Lion, and then installed FCP X. I now want to install Final Cut Studio 3, but it won't let me install Final Cut, Motion, or Compressor (the other apps install fine). Presumably this is because I have downloaded the new versions of those respective apps from the app store.
I know you can install FCP X on a computer with FCS3 on it (and still be able to use both versions of FCP) but can you do the opposite? If so I haven't found out how (short of installing on a different disk/partition of course). I tried moving FCPX out of the applications folder (in hopes that it was as simple as the installer checks the apps folder first for another copy of Final Cut) but that simply moved an alias and as far as I can tell, FCPX cannot be moved out of the applications folder.
Anyone have any ideas or experienced something similar?
Thanks!

Hey Brad thanks, but the link you provided is the opposite of what I need. That link is for if you want to install FCPX on a system with FCS 3 already on it. I have FCP X already installed and need to install FCS 3 on the same drive.
I cannot move the FCPX, Motion 5, or Compressor 4 applications to a new folder, because when I do it only moves an alias over for some reason (not the actual application).
@Ronnie yes I know I can install another copy of OSX on another drive/partition and install FCS 3 on that, but I am trying to not have to do that. Clearly FCPX and FCS 3 can exist on the same partition if you install FCS 3 first, so why can't I do it if I already have FCPX installed? Seems silly. I also do not want to have to reboot each time I want to go into FCS3, not to mention all of the disk space I would lose by installing the OS on one of my other internal drive (which currently are all filled with Media drives, so I would have to repartition a sizable chunk of one of them just for FC Studio).

Can I put my ipod on a computer that already has another ipod on it without doing any damage?

My ipod got the message "iTunes has deteced an ipod that appears to be corrupted......"
I did everything suggested and nothing helped. My ipod was working perfectly prior to my attaching it to the computer, which itunes didn't recognize.
I reset everything, the ipod is now empty, and still the computer won't recognize it.
Can I connect this to another computer that already has an ipod associated with it without causing any problems to the owner's ipod or the music libarary?
If that computer recognizes the ipod, then my problem lies in my computer and not the ipod.
Thanks

It should work because I have 2 iPods connected to my iTunes and everything syncs perfect most of the time and with no corrupted sign, maybe it's your computer. iTunes is'nt the best either so it may also be iTunes that has the problem.

HT1206 can you have multiple itunes accounts one computer with seperate music library for multiple iphones?

is it possible to seperate multiple itunes store accounts and music libraries on 1 computer for 2 iphones ?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You just need to create a second iTunes account on your PC or Mac.
To do it, open iTunes while holding down the Option (Alt) key (on a Mac) or the Shift key, and press the option to create an iTunes option. You will have to open iTunes with that key when you want to switch libraries

Can you have 2 iPods on 1 computer?

I've had an iPod mini for almost 2 years and I'm out of room so I want to buy the 5th generation iPod but I don't know anything about hooking it up. I already have my mini's library and everything set up on my computer and someone told me I have to set my new one up on a separate computer. Is this true? Anything you can tell me about how to set up my new one would be greatly appreciated! Thank you =]

you can have two libraries on one computer.. bottom line, you dont need another computer if you want to own two different ipods.
