Do I need 2 iTunes accts for 2 iPods?

I have 2 iPods, one for me and one for my son. Do I need 2 itunes accounts?

*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 the same itunes acct for two ipods (one nano and one shuffle)? the shuffle is new and i want to duplicate the music. how do i do this?

I have a nano that's a couple years old with an itunes acct. Just got a shuffle and want to duplicate the playlist on the shuffle. When I plug in the shuffle to the existing acct nothing happens. How do I copy that music onto my shuffle. thanks.

Yes.
You can sync as many ipods/iphone/ipads as you like to one computer/library. This has nothing to do with your issue.

Hi alexanderfrommilton,
First try reinstalling itunes.

I have an itunes account. However, I need to copy music onto a different iPod than my own. How do I do that? Do I need to create a separate iTunes account for that iPod?

An account means an iTunes Store account which is an online service. Do you mean that, or do you mean a library on a computer?
iOS devices can only be synced to one iTunes library at a time. You can sync that iPod to your account but it will wipe everything currently on it.
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod - http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201253 - detailed example: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18860187#18860187
If you use manual syncing, you can sync items from more than one iTunes library to your iPod. (You can sync iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad with only one iTunes library.) When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12113 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202
I could post another 2 pages of stuff trying to cover every possible scenario. It would help if you let us know exactly what you want to do. Are you trying to sync just a few songs (like giving them to a friend which is something iTunes is deliberately set up not to do)?

I have 7 iPhones, do I need an iTunes accounts for all of them

I have 7 iPhones, do I need an iTunes accounts for all of them

In that case, here is the applicable section from the iTunes Store agreement...
If you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, you may download and sync an App Store Product for use by either (a) a single individual on one or more iOS Devices used by that individual that you own or control or (b) multiple individuals, on a single shared iOS Device you own or control.
So the way we have interpreted this is that each user( in a business) requires a separate iTunes account, though if the user had multiple devices that only he or she used, they need just one account for those devices. If you are an educational institution you can check out the iOS 5 Education Deployment Guide. Educational organizations have some different options.

I want to amend the Itunes name for each IPOD we own. How is this done?

Do you mean the name of the iPod? For example "John's iPod touch"
If you have iOS 5 or later, you can change the name from "Settings --> General --> About. Tap on "Name" and enter a new name.
With iOS 4, connect the iPod to iTunes, and click the name for the iPod in iTunes in order to change it.

is there a way to have my cc and her grandma cc refunded these charges. I thought my acct was set up to not keep our CC # on file.
Please help.

There are no refunds.
You can set restirctions so that it does not allow in app purchases.
You can try asking itunes support for an exception and see how it goes.
Click "Support" at the top of this page, then click the link under "Contact Us"

My wife and I share an iTunes account amongst my iphone, and her iphone and ipad. Since we added her iphone, all devices receive Txt Msgs intended for her, and when others FaceTime me, her iphone and ipad ring.

You can continue to share a common Apple ID for purchases in iTunes, but many use separate Apple ID for iCloud to prevent this. You can still use the same on if you want. We have 4 devices, 3 phones and an iPad mini that share an Apple ID for iCloud. You just go into the settings area for iMessage and FaceTime for the devices and set the Send and Receive. For the phones, just set the actual phone number for the device, and for the iPad you can set the email address. The alternative is to set up new Apple IDs for iCloud for each device.
