Can you run two Ipods, one older, one newer, on the same version of Itunes?

I have a second generation Ipod Shuffle, and I have a fourth generation 40gb Ipod. When I installed the Shuffle, I had to upgrade my Itunes. Now it won't recognize my older Ipod at all. I plug it in, and it doesn't do anything. The shuffle works fine, but nothing doing on the larger, older Ipod. Is there anything I can do?

Start with these articles and see if that gets you anywhere...

Also you might try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

  • Can you have two "ipod" functions on one phone?

    I listen to self help audio (John Maxwell/Zig Ziglar type stuff) and sometimes I'd like to hop over to regular music and then be able to come back to my audio content without having to start over. Is there any way to have two ipod functions on the same phone? Any settings or apps from the app store that might let me have two ipod functions run on the same phone?

    Try to tag the self help audio in iTunes as an Audiobook instead. Then sync it as an audiobook.
    Audiobooks in the iPod player can remember last position so you don't have to start over.

  • Can you run Lion os and Lion Server os on the same Mac mini?

    I'm a windows convert to Mac and I'm interested in running a standard Lion Client, but at the same time running Lion Server on the same Mac Mini (Server Edition).  My needs for the Lion Server OS is to handle e-mail, a Web Site, and file sharing between the server to a secondary PC, iPad, and iPhone.  But at the same time I wish to dive into the Mac (Apple) experience.  I just wish to be able to do this on the same machine.
    As a secondary question, is it possible to merge two different iTune Accounts into one?  Is it possible to share items purchased on one iTunes account with an iPad that is tied to a different iTunes Account?

    1. Yes, but you'll need separate partitions for each OS, or run the client OS in emulation.
    2. It isn't possible to combine the accounts, but a single iTunes library can contain content from multiple iTunes Store accounts.

  • Can I run two midi controllers (keyboard  and pad) at the same time?

    ie.....can I play keyboard and use a pad for an effect of some sort - creating two instraments at the same time. I want to play say, piano on one instrament w/ a keyboard and at the same time play a synth effect on a trigger pad with another instrament (es 2)????????

    Yes.
    set 2 instruments to different midi channels.set the keyboard and pad to match.
    record enable both tracks in arrange.
    check: file/song settings/recording/auto demix by channel if multi-track recording
    this will allow you to record them both.

  • Can you run logic 6 pro and logic 7 on the same PPC?

    I was wondering if you could run logic 6 and logic 7 on the same computer.

    Until I moved up to my overqualified quad G5, I would use Logic 7 and 6 under 10.3 and I used to run the old 6 under OS9 on occasions where I needed to use a couple of plugins that didn't seem to make the port from VST to AU. It seemed that everytime you updated 6, it created a new version and you were able to keep older versions if you liked ( and I did ) for whatever reason...my thinking was that if the newer upgrade didn't work, I could always go back a step. This is no longer an option though, is it! Progress?

  • Can you run two iphones on one account

    Can you ? Two phones sync on one account .

    I have two iPhones and daughters basic cell on a family plan here in US (AT&T). Each iPhone requires it's own data plan (charge) to be applied to the one account (bill).
    But I would say call the cell provider as they are the ones that provide service for the phone, while Apple is about the hardware. We all here are users and can tell you what we think or heard or experienced but only fact can come from the provider.

  • Can you have two apple ids on one mac?

    Can you have two apple ids on one mac? We each have iPhones and want to utilize iCloud.  Is this possible?

    No, in this case the 2 user accounts with its own Apple IDs would be completely seperated.
    If you want to share this things like music and app purchases you will have to to something else.
    1. Create two user accounts on your Mac (user A and user B).
    2. Create two iCloud accounts just for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Photos, etc. (one for user A and one for user B):
    On your Mac (with Mac OS X Lion or Mountan Lion):
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > iCloud > Create an Apple ID (button in left corner)
    On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (iOS 5 or later):
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > iCloud > Get a free @me.com address and create a new Apple ID
    3. It is not recommended because you shouldn't share your Apple ID account information with other people but you could set up your old Apple ID as an account just for store purchases (Apps, Music, ...) so that everyone of you can manage the purchases in their own library (Access is limited to 10 devices). Therefore you have to setup this "old" ID in Settings of your iOS devices (Settings > iTunes & App Store) and in iTunes on your Mac.

  • Can you have two Apple IDs on one IPAD? One for school and one for home?

    Can you have two Apple IDs on one IPAD? One for school and one for home?
    If so do you know how to do it?

    It depends on what you want to do.
    You could, for example, have one AppleID for iCloud backup [and therefore message syncing, notes syncing, etc] and a second one for iTunes [music, iBooks, etc].
    But if you are looking for a way to flip everything between different appleIDs, then no.

  • Can you sync two 4S iPhones to one PC and iTunes account?

    Can you sync two 4S iPhones to one PC and iTunes account?

    No you don't. You log into iTunes with your Apple ID but you can use one Apple ID for iTunes and a different Apple ID for iCloud. On your device go:
    Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and sign in with a new Apple ID
    This will only change the Apple ID for iCloud and both devices will continue to download apps and backup to the shared iTunes account.

  • Can you run two separate vi's in parallel

    Can you run two seperate Vi's in parallel? Will this make response considerably slower?

    Hi, what more detail is needed? They are two entirely seperate independent vi's with no shared sub vis.
    I just wanted to know if you can run two independent vi's at the same time, as in just have two seperate programs and run them.
    Separate isn't the same as independent.  That's why they wanted more information. 
    Your second question asked about slowed response.  That's another place you didn't offer anywhere near enough information for a true answer.  How many loops are you running in each of these independent VIs?  How many cores does your processor have?  Are you including a 0ms wait in your loops to avoid railing your processor?
    It's possible you'll see such a negligible change in processing that you won't notice.  It's also possible you'll feel like you're draining your system.  It's generally best to err on the side of too many details rather than too few when you're asking questions.  If you don't know the answer, you likely don't know how each piece plays a part in the answer.  More information allows others to pick out the relevant pieces and give you a better answer.
