Multiple users with different Ipods on same computer

My household has one general computer that is used by myself and my two teenage daughters. We don't use separate logins because it is used mostly to just go online, check our email, and use Itunes along with updating our Ipods. This works fine for us except that we have different Ipods. My girls have the Ipod Mini's and I have the Ipod (with video screen).
My question is this: Can one computer (running WinXPProSp2)authorize two different Ipods under the same user name? Also, can two (or three) different Ipods be "authorized" on the same computer?

Yes, your not really authorizing ipods, you just authorize a PC to play songs you buy from iTUnes. Once its authorized all ipods can play the song that connect to it.
You can separate the music that is loaded to each iPod (Like your music only added to your ipod and your girls ipods only updating there music to there ipods) By creating your own playlist and setting the ipod to update them.

Plug the new iPod into your computer and go through the iPod Setup Assistant when prompted. If you want to transfer different music to each iPod, try the options in this article.

How to work 2 different ipods on same computer

I am trying to use both my daughter's mini and my nano on the same computer. I can get my library (nano), but not her library (mini) even thought the mini does show up. How can I get her library and not my library?

Hello Nancy,
I'm not sure if I'm interpreting your post correctly and whether you are having difficulty connecting the mini or in creating a library. However there are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Have a look at this article and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer Hopefully this answers your question.

Need help to see if I can use 2 different Ipods on same computer....

I recently updated from my Ipod shuffel to a Nano. The software automatically updated my computer when I pluged in the new one, but I have given my son my shuffle and have not been able to get it to work on my home computer, can I update his on my computer that I use for my nano?

The ca-55 was the only adaptor to convert a car-k91 to pop port, you can not change it to another type of connector, you will have to buy a new kit.

i will soon have two different ipods syncing to the same computer. how can i keep libraries separate so that my brother's music doesn't show up on my ipod and my music doesn't get synced to his?

There are basically two methods for managing multiple iPods on one computer. See here:
Method 1 - Create different Windows users accounts for each iPod on this computer.
Method 2 - Create a playlist in iTunes for each iPod.
To make Method 2 work, connect one of your iPods, and click on it in the left-source panel.
Under the "Music" tab, and set your option for a specific playlist(s) under the "Sync Music" option.
Do the same with your other iPod; not connected at the same time as the other one, though.
For more details on this matter, check out Apple's Support article about it:

Can two users have ipods on same computer?

2 people in my family now have the ipod shuffle, and we both want to use the 1 family computer for storing our "different" musical tastes. Can we both have the ipod experience, using the same computer? Before I start loading up all her songs, I want to know if it's possible for us both to have different music on 2 differnt ipods...both are shuffles... Any ideas?

Simple.
Just create a new account for each "iPod User" and from there they can do what they want under their own iTunes Account.

More than one ipod on same computer

Can I use an ipod video and nano on the same computer?

Yes; see here for options on transferring different content to each iPod. The version of iTunes installed shouldn't be older than either iPod.

2 different iTunes on same computer

recently my sister bought and iPod. we have only 1 good computer, but i don't want all of her songs to go on my smaller iPod. is there a way to have 2 different iTunes programs on the same computer so she can control what goes into her ipod??
we have already tried downloading for the web and the cd that came with her iPod, but it only updated my existing iTunes. please help

There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Have a look at the article linked below. Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Method two is to set your preferences so each iPod is updated with only certain playlists within one library. Method two is a good way to go if you have a smaller iPod, you can create a playlist especially for it and just add and remove songs from it as you like without removing them from the iTunes library. You can even have each iPod set differently, one updating the whole library and the other just a selected play;ist: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer

Syncing two ipods on same computer

When my son synced his ipod (20GB, no video) to our computer my daughter lost her ability to synce her ipod (30GB w/video). Is it possible to have two different itunes libraries and sync both ipods on the same computer? If so, what changes do I need to make?

There are basically two ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
a) Sharing a single iTunes library and user account.
b) Creating multiple user accounts and having separate libraries.
Sharing a Library
If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish):
Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Or you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
Separate User Accounts
Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists

Two ipods on same computer - same device name

When installing my new nano, it took on the same device name as my wife's. How can I change the device name so that the computer recognizes it as a different ipod and will therefore only sync with the playlists I want on mine, as well as when she syncs?

When only one iPod is connected, select it in the iTunes source list, click on its name, and type a new name. You may then need to follow the instructions in this article.
