Yes, you can do this.
I'd only have one iPod hooked into the PC at one time, though.

Be sure to use "Manually manage music and videos " (when ipod shows in itunes) to not lose all your media

Two iTunes set up for two different iPods both with one library......

Okay I have had an iPod mini for about two years I already have my library set up yada yada yada...
Today my brother got an iPod Nano. I went through the setup process because I thought that you needed to have two seperate libraries if you had two seperate iPods, but after it had setup I realized that both of the iTunes accounts had my library on each....
What do I do? Can he upload my music onto his Nano or yeah I am not sure...Thanks for all of your help.

the music in a single library can be downloaded to two different ipods. (mauve and attractive beast both connect to the same library.)

Can i load two different itunes on the same computer for two different ipods?

Can I load two different itunes on my computer for two different ipods? Or how can I get it so that when I click on itunes, only my songs come up and not my wifes? And the same for her.

Yes. The simplest way is to have separate Windows accounts for each user. When either user runs iTunes, he/she will have a separate library with distinct content, playlists, etc., and can sync individual iDevices as needed.

Is it a problem having two different Ipod accounts on the same computer?

I have just bought an Ipod Nano for my wife. I have a 30 Gb Ipod my self.
My question is:
Is it a problem, having two different Ipod accounts on the same computer?
Are there something I should be aware of before connecting the second Ipod?

Can I run two different ipods from the same laptop?

Hi, I am very new to all this. Is it possible to have two different ipods running from itunes on the same computer. If it is how do I separate them so when I connect and ipod it doesn't sync both lots of music.
Please Help me
Thanks

I'm currently syncing three iPods to the same library. iTunes will recognize each iPod as a unique device. My preferred method of managing my iPods is "Sync Selected Playlists". This allows me the convinience of syncing (and all my ratings, playcounts and last played sync) while still being able to control what goes on each iPod. You can set your preferences for each iPod. You could managage one manually and sync the other. Whatever works best for you.

I am trying to store music for two different iPods on the same computer, against two different Apple IDs. When I try and download content from the Cloud I get an error message?

I am trying to store music for two different iPods on the same Windows 8 computer, and when I try and download content from the Cloud I get an error message. Is it possible to have two different Apple IDs on the same computer?

Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value). You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these). Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above. As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.

Synch bombs WinXP Pro SP2 on two different iPods

OK, here's my issue and I haven't seen anyone report anything quite like it.
I have two different iPods: a 60GB and a very new 160 GB Classic.
Both "fail" synch test in iTunes but the test output is not helpful in explaining "why."
I have about 40 GB of mp3 and audiobook files in iTunes.
If I "restore" either machine and put them on autosynch they will gl through importing all 6,000+ items (as indicated by the iTunes progress window) and then, suddenly, you end up looking at a blank black screen (not the GUI) with flat cursor blinking at upper left...computer hung up stone cold dead.
If you power down the computer, the iPod will recognize it has been disconnected. Examining it (both) then gives you your various playlists, mostly without content, and a few (like 8 or 10) mp3s and audiobooks at max.
If I load the playlists manually, one-by-one, I can upload all the content and the iPods work OK (but still fail synch tests).
After uploading the bulk of the material, I can put them on autosynch and make minor changes such as adding a song or two and they will synch to completion. But neither will execute a complete upload without crashing on autosynch although placing the same amount of content manually works OK.
Anyone ever see this behavior?

Pull your OS X drive.
XP and Vista 32-bit only give you 1.9GB of RAM.
If you don't need native access or 3D you might just want to later use it with Fusion, VirtualBox or Parallels.
Apple uses GPT (GUID) which creates those small 200MB and 128MB partitions you see that are essential.
For me, I would just format the drive as MBR, and FAT/MSDOS or if you have NTFS from MacFUSE or Paragon, format as NTFS (preferable), and pull OS X and then install.

One computer, two different ipods, one shared library?

Is there a way to setup two different ipods on one computer. I currently have my ipod library setup on an external drive. I setup a separate user profile for my husband. I pointed the library to my external drive, but no music files show up on his account. I also tried setting up home sharing....don't see library files under home sharing.....help please!

*How to use multiple iPods with one computer*
The Apple support document How to use multiple iPods with one computer suggests a number of ways. I use method two (Sync with selected playlists) with a slight twist. Rather than regular playlists I set the grouping field to indicate which users should receive which tracks and create smart playlists based on the content of this field.
e.g.
"Alice's Tracks" is "Grouping contains Alice" + "Kind contains audio"
"Bob's Videos" is "Grouping contains Bob" + "Kind does not contain audio"
Tracks that both Alice & Bob want on their iPods have the grouping set to "Alice/Bob"
etc.
I currently manage our family's five iPods using this system, each getting a different selection to suit their tastes and the capacity of their iPod. An advantage of using the grouping field is that it is stored in file tags (for non-wav audio files anyway) so that it is relatively easy to recreate the playlists should the iTunes library get trashed. Also useful if you move files about manually as playlist membership is preserved when you delete & re-import the tracks.

Can I have two different libraries for iTunes?

I would like to have two different libraries for iTunes. How can I do it?
Regards.

To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key (or Shift key in Windows) when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library: Using multiple iTunes libraries -Mac
Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one.

Why can't two different users use Itunes on the same computer with different log ins

Why can't two different users use Itunes on the same computer with different log ins

They can, but not at the same time.
If one user left iTunes running, and another user tries to use iTunes from a different Windows user ID, that second user will get an error message. If they really want to use iTunes, they either have to beg the first user to log in and close iTunes, or else they have to restart the computer.
If you are asking the technical reason why, it is something about context switching.

I attempted to perform the itunes update on two different PCs and itunes will no longer open and I received a message to reinstall itunes. The reinstall did not work and I now receive a Runtime error message (R6034) re: library loading incorrectly. Help?

I attempted to perform the itunes update on two different PCs. Itunes will no longer open and prompted me to reinstall itunes. The reinstall did not work after several attempts and I received an error: "Runtime error R6034. An application has made an attempt to load the C Runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the application's support team for more information." Has anyone else had this issue? How can I resolve it?

I've been having the same exact problem this morning, and from the looks of it a lot of other people are posting about this issue, so I don't know if it's maybe something wrong with the download but I'm just relieved that it seems to be that instead of a corruption issue with my windows installation. I'm just wondering how long this will take to be resolved.

How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer

I have two different iPods. How do I connect the new one to iTunes?

I now have two iPods - a 30GB iPod I purchased about a year and a half ago which plays music, Audible books, and has photos slide show capability plus color screen. Yesterday I collected enough credit card points to afford the new 5th Generation iPod. Yeah, I'm an iPod addict. I wanted the video capability. So now I have it. My question is:
Do I have to download iTunes again, or can I connect my new iPod to the iTunes that I have been using for my other iPod? I can't find the answer to this question anywhere. Also:
Can I connect the new iPod on the same computer as my old iPod is connected on without getting confusion on the iTunes site and on the iPod?

Ya, you can simply connect it to your current iTunes and go. More info here...

HT204053 Two different ipods connected to one itunes account

I have two ipods (for two members of the family) on one account, how can I switch and have two ipods on two different accounts on one same computer?

Hello Philgeorge1,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that you want to create a new Apple ID for your wife, and disassociate your Apple ID from her devices. To first create an Apple ID please see the article below.
iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes
Next, to disassociate an Apple ID from a device see the following article.
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
Once everything is created, she will just need to sign out of your Apple ID on both the computer and iPhone, and then log in with her new Apple ID.
Cheers,
Alex H.
