How can I use my Ipod nano on two of my own computers?

I have a notebook computer on which I registered(?) my Ipod nano.  It does not have a dvd drive so I can not load songs into I tunes on this
computer.  I have a desk top computer and have loaded my cd's onto itunes in it.  I have a "family share" account with Itunes and thought I
would be able to download the songs from my desk top computer to my Ipod.  It will only let after erasing the other contents on my Ipod.
Is there a way around this?  Thanks

    How can I use my iPod nano on more than one computer?

    Hi, China6450.
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I would recommend setting up Manually manage music.  This will only allow music to be synced from the computer to the iPod nano.  Here are some helpful articles that will walk you through the process.

  • How can I use an iPod nano to obtain music from iTunes without an email account?

    I recently gave my 9 year old grandson an iPod Nano for Xmas.  He does not have an email account and his parents don't want him to have one, which I think is a good idea.
    When I purchased the iPod the salesperson told me that it was possible to download music/set up an account, without a valid email account, but I don't remember the details.
    Some direction to address this issue would be great.

    If you are going to purchase music on a computer for him from the iTunes Store then it is necessary to set up an iTunes account which will require an email address. It does not have to be his, you can use the parents iTunes account if they have one.
    But you can use the Nano without music from the iTunes Store. Just rip music from CDs the parents own into iTunes and sync those to the Nano.
    Here is the manual for the Nano: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_nano_6thgen_User_Guide.pdf

  • How can I prevent my iPod nano from turning on by itself and running down the battery?

    I will arrive at my desk in the morning, stop the podcast I'm listening to, notice by the "play" button appearing on the screen and that absence of audio in my ears that the podcast has actually stopped, hold the big oval button down until the screen goes dark, and set my iPod down on the desk. Every now and again (maybe twice a week) I'll catch the iPod playing. It's usually off playing music (i.e. it's somehow navigated away from the podcast I've been listenting to and ended up in a music shuffle somewhere), and it will continue playing until the battery runs down or until I happen to notice it and turn it off. Doesn't only happen at work, happens anywhere...home, car. Result is that once or twice a week I go to use the iPod and the battery has completely run down.

    Unplug the headphones.

  • How can I use my iPod as source for reinstalled iTunes?

    Hello @ all.
    Unfortunately I had to completely reinstall my system (WinXP Pro PC) and lost my media library!
    How can I use my iPod as a source to copy all my songs and settings (incl. covers, aso) to iTunes?
    iPod: 30GBs Video iPod
    iTunes Version: 7.0.2.16
    can u guys help me with that?
    Thanks very much!

    The transfer of purchased content to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    iGadget Windows Only
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    PodPlayer Windows Only
    CopyPod Windows Only
    If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • How can i use my ipod mac address to find it?

    simply put, i left my ipod at work. they missplaced it, now i need to locate it... p.s. its only a 3rd gen 32 gig so its not ios 7 campatible ,icloud only works if you have the device and download cloud on to it(and icloud is turned on).....not looking for opinions just looking for options such as: how can i use my ipod mac address to find it?       i do have the mac address

    If you did not set up find my pod on the iPod itself, then it cannot be tracked.

    How is your iPod configured to sync content from your iTunes library? Any error messages during the sync process? 
    You may want to reset warnings on the device by right->clicking on it under Devices and choosing Reset Warnings.  Then resync the iPod to see if any alerts appear.
    Is this the same computer you normally sync the Nano with?

  • How can i connect my ipod nano 7th gen to my car?

    Hi, how can I connect my ipod nano 7th gen to my car with bluetooth? Since I only have onstar device on my car but no bluetooth device, do I need to buy extra device to connect my ipod ? And what kind of device I shall choose? Thank you!

    Check with the manufacturer of your radio and see if they have a compatible cable.

  • Can I use the iPod Nano cable and AC power supply with the iPhone?

    Just purchased my iPhone 3G. Phone was in my pocket and the AT&T clerk neglected to put the box with the computer cable in the bag with the other accessories.
    Until I can pick it up, can I use my iPod Nano cable? The plug seems the same size but I don't want to break anything.
    Also, there was no power supply in the box due to the recall. Can I use the iPod AC power supply I bought for the iPod? It is the white brick about 3" by 3" by 1" with a USB socket in the side.
    Thank you for helping me with my start-up glitches.

    Ps. When you do get the accessories, look for a green dot (on the side where the prongs of the plug come out). If there, fine; if not, your adapter is subject to the recently announced recall of ultracompact USB adapters.
