How do I download music to a second i-pod on the same PC?

I'd like to copy specific genres only to a second i-pod - is this possible?
At the moment, I have to create playlists for the second i-pod (ie copy a genre as a playlist) which is a bit inconvenient.
When I go into "Music" when the i-pod is docked I only get options to "sync all music" or "sync playlists". I can't quite work out how to copy only some of the music rather than all.
Thanks

Unless you are going to add the specific genre to a playlist (a smart playlist is the simplest way to do that) then there is no other easy way to auto-sync a particular genre. You could check all the songs you want to sync and use the ""sync only checked songs and videos" option in the iPod Summary tab but that would be even harder to maintain.
Also using unchecking to manage an iPod is an option but only if you can live with the other things unchecking does:
Unchecked songs will be skipped when playing songs from the library or a selection. They will only play when individually clicked on.
Smart Playlists have an option that unchecked songs won't appear.
Unchecked songs will not be burned to CD.
Neither Genius nor iTunesDJ will use the songs that are unchecked.
Another alternative is to manage the iPod manually and simply drag and drop from your iTunes library whatever you want on it: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone

    Whether you can re-download them for free depends upon what country that you are in - tv shows can't be re-downloaded in all countries. If they show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes app on your other devices, or the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes then you can re-download them. Otherwise you can copy them from your iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases and then sync them to your other devices.

  • How do I stream music to Appletv and airplay speaker at the same time?

    Hello- new here.  I just set up my new airplay speaker.  I currently have appletv connected to my stereo receiver.  How do I stream music to both appletv and the airplay speaker?  I seem to only get the option to choose one or the other?

    That's normal - remember it's a limited portable device.
    You could Airplay from iTunes to both using multiple speaker mode (or download Remote app and control itunes and multiple speakers using that in teh palm of your hand).

  • How to auto download a link with MP3 every week on the same time?

    Hi all,
    i found this website where weekly the radiostation that i listen to,
    posts the jazz show in mp3 format.
    The name of the link stays the same, is there a possibility on a mac or iphone, to weekly automatically save the content of that link, in a folder on my desktop?
    iv'e tried automator, but i dont succeed.
    Here by an example of the link.
    http://download.streampower.be/vrt/radio1/11_11ctwo-snip_med.mp3
    Please can somebody help me?
    Kind Regards
    K

    Copy ALL of this into a plain text editor:
    #! /bin/bash
    #replace everthing after 'curl' and before '>' with the url you want to use
    curl http://download.streampower.be/vrt/radio1/11_11ctwo-snip_med.mp3 > ~/Desktop/"$(date)".mp3
    Save it on your desktop as 'MP3_weekly_download'.
    In terminal, paste
    chmod 755 ~/Desktop/MP3_weekly_download
    then press 'return' on your keyboard.
    Test the script by double clicking on it on the desktop. It should open a Terminal window with a progress meter, and you should see the file in the link appear on your desktop with a timestamp as part of the filename.
    ⦿ If it doesn't work, you either didn't do one of the steps above correctly or copying the text above introduced some invisible return characters. If that's the case, open the text editor again and delete all the space between the lines, then put them back in by hitting the return key.
    Once you've got the script running all you have to do now is schedule it. You can do that in Automator or iCal. If you're not sure how, consult step 4 in this post:
    http://mac.tutsplus.com/tutorials/automation/4-easy-ways-to-automate-your-macs-s chedule/
    ps. Don't forget to replace the URL in the script with the one that you actually want to use, if that's not it.

  • How can you use music from a different itunes account on the same iphone

    i bought my iphone 4s and had an apple id.  then changed my apple id, but lost my music on my phone. can i keep music on my phone from another apple id, itunes?

    Paid content purchased from the itunes store is always assigned to a single apple id. You will be unable to use the purchased content on another apple id.
    Next time you change your apple id instead of creating an entire new apple id just change the primary email address to the email you would like to use.
    e.g. current apple id is [email protected] but you want to change it. what you do is:
    - go to appleid.apple.com
    - select manage apple id
    - sign in
    From here what you want to do is change/edit your current primary email which in this case is [email protected] Simply select edit and enter the new email you would like as your apple id. Lastly you will be sent a verification email to verify the email addres and TADA your done.

  • Any ideas how to play iPad music via tv and use ipad at the same time?

    I am using ArkMC app to play music from my iPad on my sony bravia tv. But when I come out of the app to say use safari, the music stops streaming. I really want to play music and use my iPad together. Any ideas?.

    the app have to support background play or when one move on it will stop playing
    if you use an appletv you can use airplay but it will not just play the music it will play any sound your ipad would otherwise play so if you start the music and expect to be able to play a game on the ipad while the music play you will be disappointed

  • How can i download music from my computer to my i phone

    how can i download music from my computer to my i phone?

    If the music you are wanting to have on your iphone was purchased through itunes you can then go to your front display to settings>itunes and app store from there you have a toggled switch that allows you to automatically download music and apps by toggling the switch. You will need to toggle the switch below these switchs that allows for cellular data to be enabled if this has not already been enabled. This then will automatically download music and apps directly to your device with no additional charge to you.
    Good luck.

  • How do i download music from one ipod to another ipod

    how do i download music from one ipod to another ipod ?

    It needs to go through your computer's iTunes library.  If all the songs on the iPods are already in your computer's iTunes library, just sync each iPod as desired from your iTunes library. 
    If the songs on your iPods are not in your iTunes library, the approach here is to first off-load the song files from the iPods to your computer's hard drive.  Then, add the song files to your iTunes library, so that it is "consolidated" with ALL of your music.
    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.
    Once you have ALL of your music in one iTunes library on your computer, sync your iPods as desired.
