How do I add a second ipod nano to itunes...

... but keep the two libraries and playlists separate ? does Itunes recognise which songs sync to which nano etc ? or do I start a new library for the second nano ?

*...... want to upload those songs back from the ipod (which I sync'd while attached to the original library) up into the new library*
If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod

  • How can I add a second Ipod to my account?

    I just bought my daughter a second hand Ipod touch and I can update the version nor can I download things on it.  How can I add a second Ipod to my existing account?

    Plug it in and upload your music.
    You don't need to have two separate accounts for iTunes on one computer, me and my 3 roomates all share the same computer and iTunes library. Separating them only causes headaches.
    If you really want to though, if your on a windows computer you can create another user for the computer by going to my computer and add a user, then once in the new user download iTunes and upload music. One thing to remember with this however the iPod and iTunes does not support fast user switching (meaning when switching users in windows instead of logging out, just going to switch profile.)
    Hope this helps,

  • How do I add my another Ipod to my Itunes?

    I currrently use Itunes with my Ipod Nano. I recently got another Nano for my daughter. She was initially set up on another computer/Itunes, but now we want to manage her Ipod using my Itunes.
    How can I manage her Ipod and only load a specific play list(s) on her Itunes? (I don't want my entire library loaded onto hers)
    Any help is appreciated.

    Simple way is to create playlist for her iPod the set her ipod to only sync that playlist.

  • 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 do i register a second ipod touch to my computer

    how can i add a second ipod touch to my computer and itunes account and why do i have to enter a card number to verify my itunes account

    Hello Orlosky,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Not sure as to how that happened, because there is no limit to how many devices you can sync to one computer. To sync to the 2nd iPod, simply hook it up, go through the registration and setup process, and then sync away.
    There are several ways of managing multiple iPods with one computer. I think your best option would be to check out this Apple support document. Hope it helps.

    I created a new Itunes account and then I got a new Ipod and I plugged my Ipod into my computer, but nothing came up on Itunes? How do I add my new Ipod to my Itunes account?

    iDevices are not added to accounts.
    Are you trying to say the iDevice is not being detected by iTunes?

  • How to erase pic on the ipod nano ?

    I just want to know how to erase pic on my ipod nano and to see see my pics on itunes ?

    Have a look at the tutorial: Transferring Pictures to Your iPod
    Once you've had a look at that here's a tip for managing the photos that go on to your iPod. Create a folder on your hard drive called called "iPod Photos" or something similar and drag the photos you want on your iPod to it.. Under the photo preferences for the iPod, point iTunes to "synchronize photos from" and choose to update from your new folder. If you keep a dedicated folder like this, you won't need to edit your normal pictures folder just for the iPod and you can add and remove picture from it whenever you need to.

  • My sons have shared an iPad but had just one iTunes account. How can we add a second iTunes account?

    My sons have shared an iPad but had just one iTunes account. How can we add a second iTunes account?

    There is no reason to add a second iTunes account to the iPad unless your sons want to use their own credit cards for purchases and somehow I don't think is the case here.
    Anyway.... Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap that ID and sign out. Then tap sign in and tap Create new Apple ID.
    If your sons sync with one iTunes library on a computer, it can get a little confusing with two IDs. If either of them has their own iPod and they have been sharing purchased content with the one Apple ID, it gets a little more complicated as well with two IDs.

  • HT1209 how to transfer music from old iPod nano to new iPod touch

    how to transfer music from old iPod nano to new iPod touch ?

    The 1st and 2nd gen iPod shuffle can only be used with one iTunes library (not "account") at a time.  Your Apple ID and password does not matter.  (Later shuffles can be used with more than one iTunes library, IF it is set to use the Manually manage music option.)
    So, if you sync it with a different iTunes library, the previous content will be replaced.  You need to offload the existing content to your new computer's drive as the first step.
    You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.  (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
    Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to the iTunes library.  After confirming all of your songs are there, sync your shuffle with that iTunes library.
