How do I add a new ipod to my iTunes library without loosing the original ipod connection, how do I add a new ipod to my iTunes library without loosing the original ipod connection

I have a new iPod touch, that I want to sync with my existing iTunes Library. However, I want to keep my old classic ipod (for use in the house); can I have two registered to one library without loosing or wiping my library?

It has everything to do with it.
The OP wants both iPods to carry the contents of the library but was afraid that syncing the second iPod would somehow mess up either the library or the first iPod - not, of course, the case since no information from the iPod is transferred to the library.
Your suggestion is applicable for people who want a second iPod to carry a different selection of songs.

  • How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme? My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured" and my AirPort tool on my PC will not permit me to add my new Airport Extreme network (no network names to choose from)

    How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme?
    I have a PC running with Win7 and just replaced my Jensen With a brand New Airport Extreme.
    I have set up the Airport Extreme to the internet, Iphones and Ipads and it work as it should.
    I have downloaded latest Version of Airport tool on my PC. In addition i have downloaded the airport tool for Ipad.
    I have reset one of my airport Express and it now shows up both on the Ipad and on the PC airport tool.
    My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured."
    I have wired the airport Express to my Ethernet to be able to "see it" on my Airport tool.
    My AirPort tool on the PC will not permit me to add the airport Express to my new Airport Extreme network (no network names on the drop-down list to choose from). I wished for an easy set-up, but nothing seems to be plug and play as the Commercial says.. can you please help me?

    Hi
    Thanks for Swift reply.
    Yep - I in fact have two A1088 and one A1264
    I actually bought the new router because the Jensen
    router always lost connection to the Airport Express after some hours or days. I
    always needed to restart my Jensen to play music and that was driving my wife
    mad. The hope was that the Extreme should fix this. Both A1088 have been set up
    to only stream music to two of my stereo amplifiers from my PC’s Itunes library.
    Are the A1088 now useless?
    The A1264 has been set up to feed internet into a Denon Reciever that needed Ethernet cable.
    Please advise
    Regards
    Sigve

  • HT201210 I am trying to update a 4th gen ipod touch to version 6.0 but keep getting "connection cannot be made" errors. I am connected to internet. It is the first time i have updated/synced with my new laptop since getting it for xmas.  my iphone has wor

    HELP
    Help needed to update a 4th gen ipod touch running version 4.3.5 (8L1) to the latest 6.0 version.  When I connect and try to update i keep getting a box which states that a connection error occured and I cannot update.
    I have been given a new laptop for xmas which runs on windows 8, and the new itunes version (which is in itself a hurdle as I am a technophobe!) and this is all becoming a bit fustrating. 
    I have connected, updated and synced my iphone successfully, but just hit a brick wall on the ipod.  (which incidentally maybe where this laptop will end up!!)
    Help if you can, but in laymans terms.......

    Thank you for you input so far.....
    I think we are getting nearer to the solution sort of!
    Let me get this straight...... I have paid for content on itunes, bought the apple devicds in order to play said content, now I have to subscribe $25 for the privilage of playing MY library content on MY other devices. Which wasn't such an issue to do before the new and improved itunes version!!
    Have I got that correct.  I think I cannot associate my other iOS devices with my library because I am unwilling to pay further through the nose!!!???  or am I missing something?
    Thanks
    Frustrated even more now!!

  • I getting no sound out of the USB connection in my car from my new iPod Classic. Has anyone encountered this problem?

    I getting no sound out of the USB connection in my cars from my new iPod classic. The song name artist display on the console in the car but no audio. This is happening on 2 cars - Nissan Rogue and Acura TL. My older iPod classic played fine in these cars. Has anyone encountered this issue?  

    I have a similar problem with a 160 gb Classic, about 5 years old - if I move the plug one channel may be heard and tehn the other. The interface works but not the sound. Different ipods eg nano work perfectly.
    The two cars I have are an Audi and a BMW and both have manufacturer connectors

  • Old iPhone 4 I would like to use as an iPod. Lost Internet connection when I up graded to new 6. How can I get the old one on the Internet?

    I Would like to re-purpose my iPhone 4 and use it as an iPod. I cannot hook it to the Internet. Any suggestions?

    You won't be able to use cell data anymore you will have to connect it to WiFi. If it is not working at all leave the SIM in the phone and Restore it in iTunes.

  • Ipod Classic 160GB connects but does not sync to new itunes

    I'm having a lot of trouble after installing the latest itunes. My iTunes picks up the ipod as a device but will not sync with it. I've tried to just sync it, ive shut down itunes and turned the ipod off and tried, i've ticked the box that says "convert higher bit rate songs to 128kps AAC" and tried to sync and unticked the box and tried as well. I have also tried going to File ->Devices->sync, and the sync button is shaded so i can't click on it. I have also reset it to factory settings and tried. I'm out of ideas, does anyone else have any?

    Hello DeclanConky
    Check out the article below to troubleshoot if it is software or hardware. Try starting up in Safe Mode or try it out in another user. Also when you removed iTunes, did you remove the other associated files Apple in the specific order indicated in the second article?  Let me know if this works out or need to continue troubleshooting.

  • I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos". How can I do that without losing some of the features

    I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos".  How can I do that without losing some of the features of those two?   I just want to add a feature.  Thanks

    Settings>Store (or iTunes & App Stores if you are running iOS6)>Apple ID. Tap your son's ID and sign out. Sign in with your ID and password.
    You shouldn't lose the music, but if you try to update any apps that you bought with the family ID, you will have to use that password that is linked with that ID in order to update.
    Avoid downloading past purchased content with the old ID if you can since you will associate the iPad with the old ID for 90 days and you will lock yourself out of your own, new ID for that period of time. Read more about associated devices in iTunes here.

  • I can no longer see or manage my music when my ipod is connected to itunes.  The "on this ipod" button is no longer an option in my toolbar.  How do I fix this?

    After my last itunes update there is no longer a button in the tool bar for me to view what is on my ipod.  I can see screens that allow me to sync but I can't see any of the content, which means I can't add or delete anything without doing a full sync.  I have always had my ipod set to manually manage my music because I don't want my entire library on my ipod (I also don't think it would fit).  I don't want to have to restore my ipod as I have spent a lot of time setting up playlists that I use for work that aren't in my main library.  What happened to the "on this ipod" button that was in the tool bar a week and a half ago?  Is there a new route to get to view my ipod content?  I have spent a lot of time trying to figure this out and now I'm just getting angry.  I buy apple products because they are supposed to be straight forward and easy to use... is this changing?

    Go to the View menu and turn on the Status Bar. If you don't see the menus, go to the small icon with the arrow at the extreme upper left and select "Show Menu Bar":

  • I installed the new iTunes 11.1.4 with windows and when I plog in my new iPod, I get a warning notice telling me to install the 64-bit version, how do I fix this problem?

    Please Help I don't know what to do
    I just installed the new iTunes 11.1.4 and when I plug in my iPod touch, it sends me a warning note
    telling me that the requested software is not installed, to uninstall iTues and install it again with the 64 bit version
    I've already tried it but the same thing happens

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now?

  • Can I connect 2 iPods to the same computer? How does this work?

    I have an iPod mini connected to iTunes. I just bought a Nano and I want to create a new library/playlist for it. When I plug it up it begins copying all of my files from my mini onto my nano. How do I separate the two? I need to have this accomplished before Xmas Eve. PLEASE HELP!!!!

    with your ipod plugged in to the computer, go to itunes, preferences and then the ipod tab then under the music tab, select manually manage songs and playlists......
    that way you can plug it into any computer, and it wont automatically wipe everything....
    and you can put music on from any computer..

    Most Windows users don't.
    Purchase an external hard drive and use the backup software that comes with it to backup files from your computer.
    Buy TouchCopy and install it on your new computer, connect your old iPod and transfer your songs to your computer.

    Hi mshields1162,
    Great question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    First, you may want to choose to have the sidebar displayed for familiarity:
    iTunes 11: Frequently used features
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
    Afterwards, your device should be displayed if connected:
    We'll want to click on it, and choose the Music tab at the top. Let's make sure "Sync Music" is checked:
    Afterwards, you'll have the option to sync either the entire music library (for your first iPod), or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" (for the secondary device). Upon selecting this option, four larger option boxes will appear allowing you to pick and choose what content will be synced. For audiobooks, you may need to do the above in the "Books" section. For a visual instruction on how to do this, see the following:

  • I'm getting a new iPod touch 4G to replace my old 1st gen. pod.  How do I get iTunes to get rid of my old iPod and recognize the new iPod and can I sych the new pod and get all of the content on it from my old pod?

    Hi-
    Oops. looks like I hasked the whole question in the headline, but... How does this work?  When I connect my new pod to iTunes how do I get iTunes to recognize the new pod, disregard the old pod and transfer my content to my new pod?  Also, I have a G5 that runs 10.4.11 OS.  Will the new pod synch to this computer running this old software yet.  Apparently, I have to "climb the mountain" to find a copy of Leopard for G5 and I apparently cannot run Snow Leopard.  What are the needs or restrictions for synching a 4th Gen iPod touch?
    Thanks-
    DMitz

    The 4G iPod needs at least OSX 10.5.8 on a Mac. You are right that the G5 can't use OSX 10.6 or later. Apple will sell you a 10.5.8 disk but you have to call them since it is not listed in their on-line store.  Price is $129.
    For 4G specs:
    System requirements
    USB 2.0
    iTunes 10.1 or later6
    Mac: Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional (SP3) or later
    Broadband Internet access required; fees may apply.

  • ITunes was on a drive destroyed by virus; how can i sync my iPod with new iTunes on new computer without losing my old library? There is no backup iTunes/iPod files available.

    how can i sync my iPod with new iTunes on new computer without losing my old library? There is no backup iTunes/iPod files available.

    If you connect your ipod to your computer then look in the hidden folder labeled "iPod_Control" . (This is on a Mac version, but i think it's the same for Windows) and in "Music" is all your music mixed up in different folders. Just drag the MUSIC folder onto itunes then BAM! It's done ;D
