Cant load my sons Ipod with my exsisting one

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Just to summarise what's in the link above which is a little out of date: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
Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
Another option when using a single library is to set any or all of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod

  • Cant load photos to Ipod----Vista issue?

    I've searched tons of threads and forums with no answer to my problem.
    Got a new Ipod(30 gig w/video) and HAD to buy a new computer to even use the Ipod.(even though old machine met min specs)
    No problems with music but I cant load photos I've managed to get one or two to load after 20+ tries , but they've been corrupted and of those attempts that did work(sorta) only 3 or 4 of about 20 pics transfered?
    so my questions are
    1- do I HAVE to use Adobe photoshop? other App.s work?
    2-I'm not getting the "optimizing" message,is there a box I need to tick for this?
    3- do photos have to be sized down or at a certain res. to trasnsfer clean?
    4- Is this a Vista problem or Itunes 7.2 or what?
    and the rhetorical question-how can either of these companies put this stuff on the market with all these problems people are having? I see tons of people having real problems its not all idiots that dont know how to read instructions! GRRRR this stuff makes me mad.

  • Can I use iPod with more than one computer?

    I have a 60gb iPod w/ color (4th Gen). On my laptop which is my home computer I also have all my music as well as on my iPod. I would like to know if I can put all my music on a second or even third computer so that I can access the music. Also, my girlfriend has a iPod nano. Would she be able to access my music if I put the music on her computer?

  • Can I sync my iPOD with more than one PC?

    Hi evebody !!
    Anyone in here can tell me if I can sync my iPOD with more than one PC?
    A friend told me that his Fourth generation iPOD can sync only with one machine, so I wanna know if the Fifth generation can do that with more machines.

    I don't care if I lose my songs tomorrow morning when I'll connect the iPOD with my job machine. My doubt is, it doesn't matter if I install the iTunes in my home machine and then, tomorrow wanna copy the songs in my job machine to the iPOD???

  • Ating system and Ipod doesnt recognise my pc so I cant sync the same ipod with the same pc?

    I have recently upgraded my os to windows 7 and had to uninstall my Itunes in order to do so.  Now that it is installed Itunes doesn't recognise my laptop and thinks it is a different computer and won't sync my Ipod with it.  I'm using the same computer with the same Ipod but can't download to my Ipod unless I wipe everything from it and sync it with a new library that doesn't have as much music as my Ipod. 
    How do I sort this ? 

    Try restarting your iPod. Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Tap the App Store app. See if you can download apps.

  • Loading my NEW ipod with audio, vidio, and games after disguarding the OLD

    More to the point I would like to know if there is any way for me to compare what is allready on my ipod with whats on in pc's iTunes library short of leting it auto sinc?
    I know I can open two windows in iTunes, one my library and one my ipod but im thinking there must be an easier way, including third party software?
    Thanks

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Can i use my ipod with more than one computer?

    i synched my ipod with one computer, hooked it up to another and it says i can't sync with more than one library? it says i have to restore it but i dont want to delete my music off of my ipod, i just want to add the music from this other library

    I have two different iPods and two computers. I regularly use either iPod on either computer.
    First set the preferences so itunes will not automatically sync when ipod is connected.
    Then connect the ipod and set itunes to manually manage music.
    Drag and drop whatever content you want to the device showing on the left.
    If this was the default setup, there wouldn't be all these posts about people losing all their music when they connect their ipod.

  • TS1474 I changed my computer, now i want to sync mi iPod with the new one, it says that it cannot be used unlees I have the password but I dont, what should I do?

    I have my iPod since about a year, now I changed my computer, I already have all my documents in the new one, but when I try to sync my iPod with new computer its says that I need a password to use my iPod in Tunes, but it doesnt show a box to fill in or anything, I dont have the password, What should I do? I also dont want my apps to be erased.

    -Transfer iTunes purchases to the compuer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discusssed here:
    Copy music
    - Connect the Ipd to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not contain synced media like apps and music.

  • Cant find my sons ipod!

    i have my three kids ipods linked to my iphone and have the find my iphone app and 2 weeks ago my son left his ipod at a friends house. find my iphone app didnt show the last location whilst it was still online, now flat and offline is there any other way i can find it?? i have sent the sound and lost mode text.

    Here's what you do, you need to go to Helen Hunt. You can find anything that way! ; )  All bad jokes aside, you're going to need to do some detective work, start with were you last knew where it was, ask around, and hope someone honest finds it. Sorry, Good Luck!

  • Cant load music from ipod to library

    my computer received a virus but we reformatted the computer so I had to download itunes again. so i lost my music from the library. I tried to do these instructions:
    - Start with the iPod disconnected from the computer - DON'T CONNECT IPOD YET
    - open iTunes
    - open iTunes Preferences - this blocks iTunes from seeing an iPod connection; leave the preferences window up and running
    - connect the iPod to the computer, wait about 15 seconds before continuing
    - open 'My Computer'
    - Tools menu, Folder Options, View tab, enable 'show hidden files /folders'
    - open iPod icon in My Computer
    - open iPod_Control folder
    - you should see a folder named Music
    - drag this folder to somewhere on your computer hard drive
    - after the copy completes, right-click the new Music folder on your hard drive and select 'Properties'
    - clear the checkmark next to 'Hidden'
    - Close that explorer window
    - eject iPod from System tray "Safely Remove Hardware" icon. there's more!!
    but when i open my ipod icon on my computer it doesnt have a music folder. It has calendar, notes, and contacts. What do i do??

    Unless you subscribe to Match, you will have to transfer your non-iTunes stuff from your old computer:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    If you want to copy non-iTunes music off of your iPod (eg, if your old computer doesn't exist), you'll need to use a third party program.  I don't know of any free ones anymore, but if you google, you can find several in the $19 range.

  • My library only shows barely half of the songs that are on my ipod. i had to do a recovery on my computer and reinstall itunes. 90% of the songs on my ipod were purchased through itunes. Now i cant load new songs without erasing all the ones on my ipod.

    I downloaded new songs and now it wont let me put them on my ipod unless i erase all of the songs and just put the ones in my library. I think there are something like 140 or less songs in the library and there are almost 300 on my ipod. What gives?

    Hook up your iPod, there should be a selection somewhere that allows you to sync the iTunes purchased content ONLY back into your iTunes from the iPod.
    Non-iTunes purchased content needs a third party utility, look at iLounge or elsewhere for it.
    As always maintan a backup of your content on external medium, cd/dvd/external drive as Apple will not redownload content.
    You bought it, your responsible for it's preservation.
