How do I set up my second Ipod and itunes library (same computer)?

I recently filled up my first Ipod, and want to load my second Ipod's software on the same computer without causing interference and problems with my first ipod and library. How do I load my second ipod's software and create a library just for it, without the libraries becoming confused, or not recognizing ipods, or double copying songs?
Thanks in advance,
Doug

  • How do I set up a second iPod Touch account on my computer?

    How do I set up a second iPod Touch account on my computer? Am having trouble.

    You seem to know alot, so I am contacting you regarding my query
    I bought a second iPod touch for my daughter. My problem is that this second iPod is not being recognized as a device... therefore I cannot sync it or add any content to it. Do you know how I can add a second iPod to my iTunes so that I am able to sync it?
    I have gone through all of the troubleshooting (restarting iPod, restarting computer, reseting iPod to factory default...etc). Can you please help me?

  • How do I set up 2 different IPOD's on the same computer without having all the songs and games from the first one copy onto the second one?

    how do I set up 2 different IPOD's on the same computer without all the songs and games from 1 copying to the other?

    - Disable autosyncing: go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods ...syncing">
    - Connect the iPod and go to the music, apps and other panes for the iPod and check the boxes that say only sync the checked items.

    Hi all. Never had any problems with iTunes over the past 6 or 7 years but suddenly (in last week or two) I can't play any songs with 10.6.1. I can select songs and get the speaker symbol, but the song does not play and the indicator stays at 0, while the play button is replaced by the pause button, as it normally does when a song is playing. I am using a one year old PC with Windows 7 and have had no other issues. Tried starting iTunes in safe mode...same result.Thoughts? Thanks.

  • ITunes will not open in Windows 7 for one User. All I get is the Licence Agreement pane and when I click YES nothing further happens. I have set up a second user and iTunes opens without problem in that User window.

    Clearly something is blocking the main user(administrator) from opening the iTunes programme and I cannot find a solution.

    Many thanks for your reply. Yes I carried out the suggested procedure in safe mode , which did not resolve the issue and so this is what led me to set up a second User account. iTunes opened without problem in this second account and so I looked at the User-specific troubleshooting but I just could not locate the iTunes Preference files no matter how much searching I did.
    I also tried uninstalling and re-installing but the problem persists. Would be very grateful for any further advice.

  • How do I transfer songs from an IPOD to ITUNES on a computer?

    I had to restore my computer to its original factory settings, which deleted ITUNES from the computer.  I downloaded the current version of ITUNES.  How do I transfer songs from a 160gb IPOD to ITUNES on a computer?  The OS is Windows 7. 

    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 a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files are on your computer, you can add them to the iTunes library.
    NOTE:  Songs previously purchased from the iTunes Store can be re-downloaded at no cost, from the iTunes Store Purchased screen.  The link to Purchased is on the iTunes Store Home screen, under QUICK LINKS.

  • Moving Ipod and Itunes to another computer - purchased items will not load

    I recently moved my music and video from one computer to another. All music that I loaded from CD moved fine. The items that I purchase from the iTunes store, was erased from my iPod but remains in my library. Additionaly, when I purchased more music on the new computer, it goes into the library, but not onto the iPod. I have not deauthorized the first computer, but I need to somehow "authorize" the new computer, but I don't know how.
    Please help

  • Transferring ipod and itunes to new computer

    I just got a new computer and downloaded itunes. When I plugged my ipod in, my library showed up but the screen was gray and I couldn't select anything. Any suggestions on how to transfer?

    Well... if you want to take all your music with you... to a new computer, you can enable your iPod to support Disk Use (support files) and then locate the "iTunes Music" folder that has all your music (under My Docs) and just Copy the file, or drag the file onto your iPod then plug your iPod into your new pc, and open the iPod in My Computer and drag the file off your iPod to My Docs again (on your new pc) or wherever you want it stored.

  • Problem syncing ipod and itunes on new computer

    I just got a MacBook Pro from my dad. I plugged my iPod into the new computer and replaced his library on the computer with mine. Now, every time I purchase new songs on iTunes on the computer and then sync my iPod, the purchased songs don't sync on the iPod. It says it's syncing, but the new songs aren't on the ipod. I also have my entire iTunes library still on my old PC (which I still have). What do I need to do to ensure my library is up to date on my MacBook and that the newly purchased songs (on the mac) will sync to my iPod?

    Hi!
    It sounds like the songs might have been purchased under your dad's account and therefore won't sync to your library. The iTunes application itself can have many different users, each having their own account. If you have your own home drive and set up your library there, but opened iTunes with your Dad's account set up, the application would not have known to change users on its own.
    I would double check to see under whose account the songs were purchased.

  • Connecting iPod and iPhone on same computer

    Hi all !
    I have an iPhone which I sync with iTunes on my notebook.
    My son has an iPod Touch, and he sync it on his own computer.
    I want to upgrade his iPod to OS 3.1 but I'm not nuts, I didn't put my payment informations in his iTune.
    How can I buy the update with my Apple ID (on my notebook), and give him for installation on his computer ?
    I know, I can't compare, but in the past I had big troubles connecting 2 blackberries on the same computer at work. All the data were mixed on both devices, so I prefer not to connect a 2nd device on my notebook.
    Thank you for help

    The answer was simple :
    I connected to my son's iTune with my AppleID and bought the update...
    For information : Apple told me not to update but "restore and update" to reorganize the iPod

  • Music plays on iPad but not iPod and iTunes library

    I have recently purchased music off of iTunes and some of the songs won't play on my iPod or in my iTunes library but they will play on my iPad. I am not sure how to fix this. I've downloaded the most recent version of iTunes and deauthorized and reauthorized my computer, but nothing so far has helped. Has anyone had this problem and knows how to fix it?

    Actually, now they won't play on my iPad either.
