Welcome to Apple Discussions!
There are two methods of managing multiple iPods on one computer.
Method 1 - Create different user accounts for each iPod on your computer.
Method 2 - Create different playlists in iTunes for each iPod.
To make method two work for you, first make the playlist. Then go to "Edit -> Preferences -> iPod". Make your setting to "automatically update selected songs". Select the playlist name that you want to make for that iPod, and do the same for both iPods on there.
For more details on how to manage this, see this Apple Support link below:

I hope this helps!

Help with two Ipods on Same Computer

I have several questions in this one thread...
I have two Ipods (Mine and my wifes). We each have seperate user names on the PC. I have all my music in the Public Folder, Music, Itunes. I have both Itunes preferences setup to share libraries, I have both setup to use that as one library, and I have considated the libraries. So the problems:
1. How can I insert a new CD we own and have it be in the library and both Ipods sync it? I placed a new CD we own and it is syncing to my ipod, but not my wifes. I confirmed it is in the shared folder.
2. Can you both use the songs you purchase on Itunes? It is saying no when I am syncing hers for songs I purchased on my acct. But I thought it could be on 5 different devices.
Thank you for any help. I have searched high and low and I am sure the solution is here somewhere, but I keep doing what I find with no success.

If the old iPod works, the new iPod will work.
Simply plug it in.
Create a new playlisy with the songs you want.
Open iTunes orefs -> iPOd.
Select Automatically update only selected playlists.
Select the playlist you just created.
That is all.

Seperate libraries for two ipods on same computer

how can i set up seperate libraries for two ipods on same computer . running xp . after installing software for second ipod , i only have one version of itunes ,with only one library .tried setting up seperate playlists but that didnt help . thanks for help!

The only way I know to have two entirely separate iTunes libraries on one computer is to have two Windows or Mac user accounts: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer

I have two iPods under same account information and lost one but when I try and track it only the one that isnt lost shows up, is there somewhere I can go to fix this?

They cannot be tracked unless connected to WiFi.

Why two of the same folder?

I'm getting two of the same folders somehow and I don't know how to fix it.
Take a look:

What you are seeing is two of the same folder showing up in LR, but their files within each are different. How can I combine these folders so that they correctly show the architecture of my hard drive as one folder?
Additionally, how do I prevent this in the future?
Thank you,
J

Beat,
I'm doing something wrong and I don't know what it could possibly be as I seem to be following your instructions very closely. Here are your instructions with my questions in Red:
How to consolidate:
"Add Parent Folder" on all the folders to be consolidated, so you end up with as few top level folders as possible So, on both sets of "2010" I right click and hit Add Parent Folder so now they both have "Lightroom" as the parent folder
On all of the top level folders under a "non strategic" drive, choose "Update Folder Location ..."
Navigate to the folder on the network share through the path which you want to use in the future (one of the three described above) After I right click, I only have one option... to navigate in my Mac Finder to where the "Lightroom" (Parent) folder is
Now LR will (rightly so) tell you that the selected folder already exists in LR and asks you whether you want to combine the two folders
After I do all of the above things don't go exactly as planned. Do you know if your method only works for PC's? Does anyone know of a Mac solution that will work without disturbing the metdata and image changes?

Help with two ipods, one computer please!

Right, my sister had an ipod mini already connected to the computer. I got an ipod mini for my birthday, the updated version, and wanted to use it. I read that it was okay to have two ipods on the same computer so i installed mine how it said. However, noe both ipods are on the same itunes which means sharing all our music. I now want to move my ipod to another user account on windows XP without damaging either ipod or the music.

Automatic Synchronize two IPODS from same owner?

Hi there,
I own appr. 3000 CD's. I have two ipods 60 GB. 1 is for classical music, 1 is for Pop, Jazz, Worldmusic. In this way i can keep a certain "system", much easier to find. In the car or my holidayhome (and my office) i want to have all my music with me. So i do not want any playlists. Also it is not easy to write down all you import in Itunes and then transfer it to the ipod concerned. I will never know whether i missed a cd once in a while. That's why i like the synchronization so much. I asked the applestore in my city how i could synchronize each of the ipods with "their own music". They didn't know. It was suggested (but not confirmed) to install another version of itunes on a different drive (f.i. D)and transfer "classical" to that version of itunes. Further, delete in the first itunes the classical music,leaving "the rest of the music". In my view it is much to complicated so i didnot try it yet. Who has another idea? Or can anyone confirm what was suggested by the apple store?

Hi,
Thanks for trying to help me out. Making different playlists for each category does not help (i think), since i would like to be able to make extra playlists within a certain category and could i make a playlist within a playlist? Found a other solution "for the time being", but only in my situation (and for all others having more pc's) install on the other pc a "different" itunes, use a external hard disk to save the music data. Then make different directories in which to save the categories concerned. Since i would only use 1 ipod on 1 pc everything should work out fine. Still not happy with these "workarounds" it should be more simple. Maybe i try the two different profiles as mentioned in the first reply on my question.

You've got it right, Chirs, except that it's actually Edit->>preferences->>iPod instead of "File"... Just trying to prevent a confusion.

Two ipods on same computer?

there are two ipods as well as seperate itunes on my computer.
i recently had trouble with this, as it deleted all my songs off my itunes.
the other itunes on the other file is fine.
how can i stop this from happening again?

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.

Two iPods on Same Account--Need to Remove One!!

I added a second iPod to my account in December 2007. The new iPod is my son's. At first iTunes maintained separate purchases and libraries for our individual iPods, but now it will recognize all of our combined purchases, but only his library. I have purchased songs on my account that I do not want him to have access to so we need separate accounts, libraries, etc.
I have tried restoring both iPods and have even set up a completely separate account now for his iPod. The remaining problem, though, is that I can't get his iPod off of my original account so his library continues to "override" mine.
Please help!!!!

iPods are not tied to specific accounts. Only iTunes libraries are. You can hook up any iPod to your account and sync your library onto it. You can then move the iPod to a different library and sync it to that library instead.
Sounds like your issue is with iTunes libraries and authorization. First off, are you trying to use the same iTunes library? Or do you both have different user accounts on the same computer? Or do you have two computers?

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

Help with two ipod users on one computer???

Ok heres a quick rundown of the problem. My girlfriend and i both have ipod minis and i am having difficulty getting I tunes to work for me. Her I tunes works fine for her I pod, but when i try to add music files to my ipod using her I tunes, it keeps telling me that my ipod is attached to another music library, then it asks me if i want to erase the music on the ipod and download her music. I thought that maybe i was doing something wrong so i decided to install my copy of itunes to remedy the problem. I tried to install my ipods i tune disc onto the computer, everything looks like it installs well but for some reason its seems as though you can't have two versions of itunes on one computer. Can someone help me? Is there an easy way to fix this?

OH good lord! Go into your start up menu and find Tour Windows XP and it will show you how. OR GO into your Control Panel, click on USER ACCOUNTS and go from there...its not rocket science, trust me

Using two iPods on same computer

Our daughter has loaded her iPod onto our family computer and created an account. I now have my own iPod for which i want my own library, which will include photo's. How can I use my iPod and sync to my library without syncing to my daughter's.
I also need to download the library on my iPod onto my own library. I somehow had a library but it has been wiped clean due to a restore. Is there a way of reverse backing up from my iPod to my computer.

See this Apple KnowledgeBase article; it should help:
How to use multiple iPods with one computer
Is there a way of reverse backing up from my iPod to my computer.
Transferring tracks from an iPod back to iTunes has been covered here a number of times already, but again:
First, you need to prevent automatic synchronzation with a blank copy of iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift and Ctrl keys in Windows. This should stop the iPod from auto synching with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
Then if you're using iTunes 7, you can then copy music that you purchased from the iTunes Store back to iTunes directly (use the Transfer Purchases From iPod command under the iTunes File menu).
If you're not using iTunes 7 or want to copy back other tracks, the easiest way will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:
MacMuse: Computer crashed
Hope this helps.
Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Discussions page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums, in the User Tips Library and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.
