Connecting Another iPod to an Already Existing iTunes Library

I have the 60GB iPod with all of my music/movies, etc.
My niece has the 2GB iPod Nano and wanted me to add some music to it so I've connected it to my PC.
1.) Can I add music to her Nano without disrupting my exisiting Library/iPod?
2.) She appears to have music on the Nano if I connect it to my PC and go into My Computer but on the iPod Nano itself it only displays ONE ALBUM (It's B5...how tragic!).
Help us!!!

Sharing your music, etc. with your Niece's iPod should not alter your playlists on your computer or your iPod at all. To manually select the songs to sync with her iPod, select the "manually manage music" option if you are using iTunes 7.0.X. If you are using an earlier version of iTunes, select the option to "enable disk usage" or something similar (I can't remember exactly how it's worded since I have upgraded to version 7). If you are using an earlier version of iTunes, you might connect your iPod to your computer first and select the "reset ignored warnings" button under iPod prefrences in iTunes before connecting your Niece's iPod so that her existing songs and playlists will not be overwritten by yours. I hope this helps.

  • How do I add another iPhone to my already existing iTunes account?

    HOw do I add another iPhone to my existing iPhone account??

    What do you mean "add another iphone to my itunes account"?
    If you want to use your account then go to settings and sign in.
    If you want to sync another iphone to your computer/library, then do so.  You can sync as many as you like.

  • ITunes crashes when I connect my iPod to the PC when iTunes is running....

    I have written about this problem before, but there have not been any successful solutions as of this date. I will explain my situation a little further and maybe someone can help.
    Most of the time, when I connect my iPod to my pc while iTunes is running, the instance the iPod shows up on the library site, and whenever I move the cursor, iTunes crashes, so I have to close iTunes right away and try to disconnect my iPod. Most of the time, a message comes up that says info is being transferred to the ipod and that I shouldn't disconnet it at that time, but I usually go ahead because I know it isn't transferring at that time, since itunes has crashed.
    Sometimes, after I have clicked on the first message to go ahead and disconnect my ipod, another messages comes up that says something to the effect of, "You can't disconnect because it is being used by another server at this time." So I click "OK" and then iTunes stays on for a few moments which gives me time to transfer a song or two, but then itunes crashes as soon as it finished transferring or before it finishes.
    As anyone can imagine, this has really become a hugh problem. Having an iPod and not being able to use iTunes makes it very unhandy. I'm not able to add any new music or any of the playlists which i have been working on. Does anyone have a solution, or any suggestions as to what may be going on? It would be deeply appreciated.
    I plan to restore my iPod in a day or two if I don't get a solution to this, but I don't have all of the music, videos, etc. that I have on the iPod since I removed much of it from iTunes to help the computer run faster. I had over 2000 items in the library, so it was pulling the pc down and it was taking forever to use the computer.
    I am unable to use any of the software to transfer everything from my iPod to the iTunes library because of the problem with iTunes crashing when I connect the iPod, so this isn't a solution at this time.
    Someone, please help!

    I suspect a hardware problem.  But do the following to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset.  Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
    - Resore the iPid to factoery defaults/new iPod.
    In the latter part of you post, I thin you ar sayng that you do not have a syning computer and the music is not on the computer. If so, do the following so you will not lose anthing (or very little) when you restore.
    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Best iPod to PC
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and right click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Backup. This will make a backup so you can restore to the backup

  • I would like to erase my ipod touch and then resync it with my existing itunes library, is this possible?

    I have a ipod touch that has a different library on it from an old (no longer usable) computer. I have another itunes library on my laptop that is very similiar but not exactly the same as the one on the ipod. Can I erase the ipod and sync it to the existing itunes library on this computer?
    And once I do that can I also load my itunes library from my ipod to my new mac??
    thanks

    You can restore (via iTunes on your computer) your iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and sync it to any library you want.
    You can transfer iTunes purchases from an iPod to any computer w/iTunes by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    You can use one of the third-party programs discussion this previous discussion to transfer non-iTunes purchases to a computer:
    Best iPod to PC

  • I lost my ipod. Bought a used one to replace it. When I plug it into the computer, the computer doesn't even seem to realize it's plugged in. How do I put my existing itunes library onto the new (used) ipod?

    How do I clear out a used ipod classic and put my existing itunes library on it? I lost my previous ipod and bought a used one to replace it.

    Do one or more of the following
    > Restart your computer
    > Uninstall & Reinstall iTunes
    > Reset iDevice (won't erase everything)
    > Go to My Computer (windows xp) or Computer (windows vista & 7) and see if iDevice shows
    > Restore the iDevice completely (will erase everything)
    > Make sure the iTunes and/or iOS firmware is up-to-date.
    The ones I cross over is the ones you don't have to do. This should help

    Try force rebooting it, hold down the power and home button for 10 seconds until the apple boot logo comes up. If that doesn't work, try rebooting your computer.

    Don't know why you would.
    You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like.
