Connecting iPod and iPhone on same computer

Hi all !
I have an iPhone which I sync with iTunes on my notebook.
My son has an iPod Touch, and he sync it on his own computer.
I want to upgrade his iPod to OS 3.1 but I'm not nuts, I didn't put my payment informations in his iTune.
How can I buy the update with my Apple ID (on my notebook), and give him for installation on his computer ?
I know, I can't compare, but in the past I had big troubles connecting 2 blackberries on the same computer at work. All the data were mixed on both devices, so I prefer not to connect a 2nd device on my notebook.
Thank you for help

The answer was simple :
I connected to my son's iTune with my AppleID and bought the update...
For information : Apple told me not to update but "restore and update" to reorganize the iPod

TS1398 I have an ipod and iphone on same computer-is that an issue?

I have an ipod & an iphone. The iphone is mine though and my daughter has the ipod of course for just games and music. I am having issues when I hook up to Itunes, it wanted at first to add all my apps to her ipod & add all her games on mine. So I figured out a solution instead of her using my email address, I set her up one of her own. I also set her up an apple ID & password. Now, my only problem is that it won't let her update her apps without asking for MY email address, even though on her itunes store, it shoes her apple ID as her email address and not mine. So I having hard time dealing with this, it's awful. She has 7 updates ready and cannot download them. Im really upset.
Now on my Iphone, my email address is the same, but, it says my security code on my account is invalid. I've had the same credit card on the account every since I had the phone, never had any problems with it till now. I add another card, and still says any number I add is invalid. So I really do NEED HELP! I have sent out an email to the App store itself to see if they could help me, but of course that takes 48 hours! I have 6 updates and I can't update mine bec of a security code & hers won't bec of email issues. Any help would be very appreciated! THANKS.

- Apps are permanently locked to the account that purchased them. You have to log into that account to update the apps. If you have apps that need update from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased form one account. Apps can't be moved form one account to another.
- For the CC issue, see if this helps:
iTunes Store: My credit card's security code or zip code does not match my bank's records

Sync iPod and iPhone to same MacBook

i currently have an ipod touch with OS 3.1.2 that sync's calendar & contacts via mobile me, and everything else via USB to itunes on my MacBook Pro.
in two weeks i'll take delivery of an iphone & would then like to keep both this and the ipod touch up to date with contacts, calendar etc.
will there be any problem with synching both the ipod and iphone with itunes on the same laptop ?
and also - would i be correct to assume that i will need to download / buy any apps i want on the new iphone again & that if i sync with itunes it won't transfer everything over from the ipod ?
btw - this is probably irrelevant to these questions, but i also have an MacBook Air synchronised via mobile me but don't connect that MBA to the ipod.
thanks,
mark

You can sync as many ipods and iphones as you like to one computer.
Each is a different device and you can put whatever yo like on each.
You can share the same apps between the two devices - no need to repurchase.

How do I set up my second Ipod and itunes library (same computer)?

I recently filled up my first Ipod, and want to load my second Ipod's software on the same computer without causing interference and problems with my first ipod and library. How do I load my second ipod's software and create a library just for it, without the libraries becoming confused, or not recognizing ipods, or double copying songs?
Thanks in advance,
Doug

There are numerous ways to do what you want. Check this out: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432

Syncing iPod and iPhone to same library

When I purchased my iPhone it connected to the iTunes library I already had for my iPod, however when I tried to connect my iPod to this library it said it was synced to another library. I cut my losses and erased and synced the iPod to the phone library. Ive just purchased some albums from iTunes and synced them to my iPod but now the iPhone keeps saying it is synced to another library and is giving me the option to erase and sync, why is this? I have songs on the phone that I have purchased on iTunes before i had the phone that synced to it but I will lose them if I erase and sync.

You can sync as many iphones and/or ipods as you like to one library.
We have two iphones and three ipods synced to our one library/computer.
The iphone will sync with ONE library/computer at a time. If you sync to a different computer, it will first erase the content from the iphone, then replace with content from the new computer.

Synching with Ipod and Iphone on same account?

I own both an Iphone and an Ipod. Can I connect both to Itunes under my account? Will connecting one affect the other when it is connected?

Hello, I have both an iPhone and an iPod. I wiped out my iTunes library, I believe when I synced my iPhone as I had downloaded new apps for the iPhone. How can I avoid doing this again? I would think that since the device connected to my pc is distinguished for such, the iPhone or iPod, this shouldn't have been a problem. Your advice would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

How do you manage an Ipod and Iphone on the same computer

Hi how do you manage an Ipod and Iphone on the same computer?
I have my ihpone but for running and cycling i also have my ipod nano, every time i connect one or the other it wipes songs that i want to keep?

create a playlist for each device and sync only that playlist.
i'm syncing four mobile devices to iTunes and each has its own playlist. works like a charm.

HT4235 Ipod and iphone won't connect to computer. Computer says that it is receiving wrong information, Can there be another way to connect?

Ipod and iphone say that they cannot connect when trying to sync with itunes through my computer. Only answer is that the computer says that it is receiving an invalid response from the phone and ipad. Is there an answer?

Try downloading the current iTunes installation and reinstall it over the existing.
Even though it worked previously with your iPhone, connecting via a USB hub is not recommended.

Will iTunes support an iPod and iPhone that uses the same computer?

I'm curious to know if Apple has/will take into consideration that many people who will purchase the iPhone, will make the purchase as an addition to their Apple perepherals and not a substitution. Meaning, the iPhone will not replace the iPod as their portable music player. As I understand, Apple has set copyright guidelines to how many iPods one can assign to an individual player, and how many iPods one could transfer files to, to only 1 player. My question is, is Apple going to allow file transfers to both the iPod and iPhone when the user syncs from their computer? I want to purchase the iPhone upon release, but I would reconsider if I was unable to listen to music on both my iPod and iPhone.

Nobody knows how it will interact. Probably just like an iPod does now. You can have multiple iPods for syncing to one computer, each receiving different content. So there shouldn't be any issue there.
By the way, the authorization limit is number of computers not iPods. There has been cases here of whole families with each person having one sometimes two iPods.

IPod and iPhone on the same computer

This sounds like it's a frequent question, but I can't find the answer.
I have an iPod and an iPhone and I've had them synced to two different computers with iTunes. However, I started to think about it. It would be a lot easier if they were both synced to iTunes on one computer. Can this be done? How?

Yes you can use your iPod and iPhone with one iTunes library, I use two different iPods with mine. I have a friend who manages two iPods and and iPhone. iTunes will recognise each device and you can set them to sync in whatever manner you choose (or update manually): How to use multiple iPods with one computer

HT1589 Can I use more than 1 device ie iPod and iPhone on the same iTunes account and have different music on them

Can I use more than 1 device ie iPod and iPhone on the same iTunes account and have different music on them

Yes. Use the option to sync with selected playlists on the music tab when your devices are connected.

I have two itunes accounts on two different computers, can i merge the accounts so i can then have the same music on both ipod and iphone?

i have two itunes accounts one for each of my two computers, can i merge them so that i can have the same music on my ipod and iphone,
it is all so confusing i need help!!!

You can't currently merge accounts and the content will remain tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it, though you can have more than one account authorised on the same computer's iTunes via Store > Authorise This Computer. As only one account can be actually logged in at a time (Store > Sign In / Sign Out) for purchasing or re-downloading/viewing past purchases, you may want to use just the one account for future purchases.

If you are running Lion then all drivers are distributed through Software Update. You do not need to install anything, other than to install the printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan. If you already added the printer while it was connected using USB, you might want to delete it and set it up again wirelessly to avoid confusion. Or, give them two distinct names e.g. "Photosmart D110 (USB)" and "Photosmart D110 (wireless)".
All scanning functions are now performed using Preview, but you can also access the scanner through the same Print & Scan preference pane, or with Image Capture.
This HP document may help explain how driver software is distributed now:

How do I set up 2 different IPOD's on the same computer without having all the songs and games from the first one copy onto the second one?

how do I set up 2 different IPOD's on the same computer without all the songs and games from 1 copying to the other?

- Disable autosyncing: go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods ...syncing">
- Connect the iPod and go to the music, apps and other panes for the iPod and check the boxes that say only sync the checked items.

Help. My daughter backed up her iPod but copied all the info from my iPhone. So now the iPod and iPhone have exactly the same things. How do I get all her stuff back on her iPod?
