Connect two ipods at same time?

I have a fortunate problem/question. My son got a nano ipod and I got a 30MB ipod. We both would like to charge them and get running. Can you connect both at the same time? I have two USB ports and could physically do it. I know that you can use multiple units with a single computer, but there is nothing about charging them at the same time in the documentation.
Thanks

I've had 3 ipods connected at the same time. They all show up under Devices.

RV042 VPN Client Access not able to connect two users at same time

I have a RV042 and have set it up for VPN Client access using the QuickVPN client to connect my remote users. I discovered today that I cannot have two users connect in at the same time. Both users are in the same remote office. They can connect individually with no problem but if one is connected and the other tries connect also the second user gets a message the gateway is not responding. They are both running WinXPPRo SP3. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Were your QuickVPN clients behind a firewall router of some sort? For multiple QuickVPN clients to be able to connect to the remote RV042 at the same time, the local firewall router must have VPN Passthrough correctly implemented. You could try using a RV042 as the firewall router for your QuickVPN clients and you should be able to maintain 2 tunnels at the same time to the remote RV042.

Connecting two iPods to computer at same time

Question: Am I able to connect two iPods (Nano and Shuffle)to my computer at same time? I would want to do this to mainly charge the batteries to these units. My computer has a four high-speed USB connections and I would like to know if this is possible and/or advisable. Thanks very much.

I'm not sure if you're able to use both at the same time (for data transfer)... You should, however, be able to use both for charging.
If you eject the iPods it shouldn't be a problem to use more than one at the same time. To eject the iPod in iTunes you would go to the iPod in the source list (on the left, under library, podcasts, etc.) then click on the little eject button, it'll stop being recognized by the computer so it should work.
I hope this works for you, if not, just update and I'll try to help more.
Good Luck,
Joey.

They cannot be tracked unless connected to WiFi.

How do connect two iPods at once.

Hello, I have two iPods that I connect to one computer (1 a 5th gen ipod, and 1 a 4th gen ipod).
I can only ever connect one of the two iPod's. When ever I try and connect a 2nd iPod, iTunes disconnects the 1st iPod, and only shows the 2nd iPod, and this then gives a windows error on the 1st iPod.
Has anyone ever been able to connect two iPods at once in itunes for Windows?

i have the same problem. With one ipod and another ipod nano, the itunes doesnt works, and need to restart it.

How many pcs can connect to hub at same time

how many pcs can connect to hub at same time, I have looked everywhere and if you know where did u find the answer, many thanks

Most routers specs I've seen have a theoretical maximum of 256, but obviously due to practical performance issues would likely limited to less than 20.
As said, usually more than a home user would need.

Connecting two ipod nanos

it is possible to connect two ipod nanos to the PC to transfer music or videos from one to one???
i have ipod nano 4G
and my friend has ipod nano 3G
waiting your reply.

You can connect two iPods to the one computer, yes. However, you can't take files from an iPod and put it on another computer or iPod normally. There are some programs that allow you to take the files off an iPod and put them on a computer, but I don't think you can transfer directly from iPod to iPod.
To connect the two iPods to the one PC, you need the connector cable for both of them - one cable will not do. The cable is white, and it has a USB and an iPod connector. It's the cable you use to connect the iPod to your PC normally. Put both of the cables in a different USB slot, and you're set.
If one of the iPods is not 'registered' to the correct computer, you can click the 'Cancel' button and keep the iPod plugged in. I hope you understand what I mean.
I've never used a program to get files from the iPod to a PC, but I know of a couple. Here's a list of a few names I know :
Xilisoft iPod Rip
iPodCopy
4Media iPod to PC
You can find those three on Cnet's Download website (http://www.download.com). They're all for Windows - I never checked if you have a Mac. I don't think any of them are free, but I didn't check.

Do Apple not have an online help service? It seems a little strange for a company so large.

Connect to two routers at same time?

I connect to internet throught router #1
Set up time capsule as stand alone (i.e. did not join network on router #1). Let's call time capsule router #2
When I look at my wifi, I have to join router #1 and get internet access, and no access to files on time capsule OR join router #2 with access to files, but no internet access.
Any way to join both networks (routers) at the same time?
I know, I could set up time capsule to join the netwrk on router #1, but as stand alone, file transfer is faster.
Thanks.

It is not possible for the AirPort networking feature of your Mac to be connected to two wifi networks simultaneously.
If you're going to use the Time Capsule for backup only, you're probably better off buying a FireWire hard drive since that will be much faster than any wifi-based backup device.
Alternatively, connect your Time Capsule to "router #1" with an ethernet cable and then you can use it both for your wifi connection and backups.
If you don't need to use "router #1" then just use the Time Capsule - it's a very good router and wifi hub.

Multiple ResultSets from the same connection occuring at the same time

Is it possible to have the following code? The issue is that you are iterating through two result sets created from the same connection at the same time.
try {
Connection conn=createConnection();
Statement s=conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs=s.executeQuery(someSQL);
while (rs.next()) {
     Statement s2=conn.createStatement();
      ResultSet rs2=s2.executeQuery(someOtherSQL);
      while (rs2.next()) {
           //do something
} catch (SQLException sqle) {
} finally {
freeConnection(conn);

Joel,
The code compiles, but I have not tried running it. It is a question I need to know, designing a program.
The question is whether some error would come up or the first ResultSet would be corrupted because a second were created before the first one was closed.

Using two iPods on same computer

Our daughter has loaded her iPod onto our family computer and created an account. I now have my own iPod for which i want my own library, which will include photo's. How can I use my iPod and sync to my library without syncing to my daughter's.
I also need to download the library on my iPod onto my own library. I somehow had a library but it has been wiped clean due to a restore. Is there a way of reverse backing up from my iPod to my computer.

See this Apple KnowledgeBase article; it should help:
How to use multiple iPods with one computer
Is there a way of reverse backing up from my iPod to my computer.
Transferring tracks from an iPod back to iTunes has been covered here a number of times already, but again:
First, you need to prevent automatic synchronzation with a blank copy of iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift and Ctrl keys in Windows. This should stop the iPod from auto synching with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
Then if you're using iTunes 7, you can then copy music that you purchased from the iTunes Store back to iTunes directly (use the Transfer Purchases From iPod command under the iTunes File menu).
If you're not using iTunes 7 or want to copy back other tracks, the easiest way will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:
MacMuse: Computer crashed
Hope this helps.

Can I update both itunes & ipod at same time?

I have noticed that a lot of the cover art is wrong. I seem to be able to find either correct cover art or more appropriate pictures on the web. I have been doing a cut & paste into the cover art tab which is under the get info tab.
This updates the picture in iTunes but not whats on my ipod. Is it possible what when I update iTunes I get my ipod updated at the same time? Note I do not want to go to a full synchronization where that both iTunes & my ipod are identical. I only want to get both locations updated at the same time when I'm connected to the web & updating itunes cover art. Please advise.

You can't. Just delete the offending songs off your ipod, then resync.
