Connecting two iPods

I am trying to connect an iPod touch (4th Gen; ios6.1.6) with an iPod touch (5th Gen; ios8.2) but they are not detecting each other. I have re-started both devices and reset the network settings. In both cases the result was the same and neither device could detect the other. Is there an incompatibility between Bluetooth 2.1 and 4.0? If not, what other options do I have to get them to detect each other?

Hi Barry,
My son has a game (that has a "local play" feature) that he wanted me to play with him. He's got the iPod 5th gen and I was going to commandeer his older brother's older iPod to play along. If it isn't supported, I might have to try my wife's iPad and see if that will work. Or, maybe just get myself an iToy of sorts!
Thanks for you quick response!

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.

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.

Connecting two ipod nanos

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.

Zwei iPod touch via bluetooth verbinden/Connecting two iPod touch via Bluetooth

Hallo,

so the only was is to use the cable to connnect it from my notebook to Ipod touch??
depends. for syncing and software updates: yes.
for putting e.g. MS Office files or .pdf files on it: check out e.g. _*Flash Drive*_ or _*Documents To Go*_. both require a wi-fi connection, though.
what about if I download any bluetooth program from the App Store ( For Example: iBlueNova ).
searching the app store for iBlueNova did not bring up anything for me. instead, search for +bluetooth fileshare+. maybe that app is for you ...

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.

Connecting two ipods to the same PC

Hello everyone, this is my first visit to the forum. I apologise if this question has already been answered, but I have had a look around and can't see it having been covered anywhere else. We are about to introduce a second ipod into our home but only have one computer/itunes application in the household and need to understand the implications (if any) in doing this. For example, are we likely to run into problems with content being wiped from the library or transferred between each device or will itunes recognise each ipod in its own right. Also, due to individual tastes we will want to duplicate some of the itunes content onto both pods but not all of it. Is this possible?
I really dont want to risk conecting another device until I understand the implications. We have spent a lot of money on downloads from the itunes store and dont want to risk losing any of it. Thanks for reading - looking forward to any replies/feedback.

Hello Nick,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
There really will be no harm done once you connect the second iPod to your computer. You will just have to simply register it, go through the set up process and sync away. There is no limit to the number of iPods you can have synced to one computer.
When it comes to managing several iPods with one computer, there are several different methods for accomplishing the task including creating a new library or setting up individual playlists that contain all the content you wish to sync to each iPod. For more information and instructions regarding these methods, I would take a look at this Apple support document. It should be able to answer many of your questions.

Can you connect two iPods to the same iTunes library?

This might sound dumb but I honestly have no idea - I want to purchase a second iPod but don't know if I can run them both from the same iTunes library? The new one I want is a shuffle so a much small capacity then my other iPod. Help.

you can use a virtually unlimited number of mobile devices with a single iTunes library. in fact, Apple wants you to buy as many of them as possible
