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.

  • Can you run iTunes twice on one computer?  Run two libraries on one compute

    My roommate and I both have iPods and share a computer but we have vastly different tastes in music. How can we both have our own iTunes libraries on one computer?

    There are a couple of ways you can do this, have a look at this guide: "How to use multiple iPods with one computer" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432

  • Can you have two iPods for one computer?

    I know nothing about iPods so please excuse me for this question that probably has an obvious answer. My sister has an iPod nano that she has been using with our computer for a long time. I just bought an iPod and was trying to set it up. So can I use her i tunes to put music on my ipod or how does it work? I am aware you are not supposed to steal music though. So what am I supposed to do?

    Yes, you can use 2 iPod with 1 computer quite easily.

  • 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    Just to summarise what's in the link above which is a little out of date: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:

    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 multiple iPods on same computer?

    I have a "regular" ipod and have successfully loaded iTunes (dated 10-12-2005) on my pc. My husband just bought a shuffle but we cannot seem to run them on the same pc. Why not? iTunes just will NOT recognize the shuffle. I have successfully loaded the shuffle on our kids' pc; but all 2,000 songs are on my pc. I DON'T want to reload all of them. ANY suggestions? Comments?
    I did try to update the iTunes. Ran into other problem - iTunes wouldn't even start - had to uninstall/reinstall.
    Dell   Windows XP  

    I had the same problem with iTunes not recognizing my
    iPod Shuffle. What I did to fix the problem was to
    download the latest version of the iPod updater and
    select the restore option. It should reset the
    factory settings and flash the device with the latest
    software. I recommend trying to get iTunes to
    recognize the shuffle on its own, and then connecting
    the additional unit.
    Sounds great - but every time I load updater I cannot even start iTunes. VERY frustrated.

  • 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

  • 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:

  • 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
