Ipod Nano and Shuffle on the same computer?

Hi guys,
I’m having a problem. I recently connected my 2nd gen nano to my friend’s computer (who has a shuffle) and it thinks I’m her. How do I create my own “account” on i-tunes?
The problem is that now she has tried to connect her shuffle to i-tunes and it’s rejecting her!
I tried a different computer and it came up with her ipod name. How do I make it all mine and reset her settings?
Thanks!!
Natalie.

"How do I create my own “account” on i-tunes?"
Create a separate Windows User account for each person on the PC. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists
I don't use Windows so I can't give you a step by step on that one, however I can point you to another web page which should help you out. You can read about Windows user accounts here:
Using Windows XP User Accounts
"I tried a different computer and it came up with her ipod name. How do I make it all mine and reset her settings?"
Have a look at this troubleshooting page, changing the drive letter for the iPod might solve the confusion: iTunes may exhibit strange behavior in relation to the iPod.

Can more than one Ipod Nano be used on the same computer

I want to give an Ipod Nano as a gift. The prospective recipient tells me that her daughter already uses the computer for her Ipod. Is it possible to use the same software without synchronizing both Ipods with the same songs and such?

Yes. Point her here:

I have an iPod Nano and I have a new computer. I want to sync my iPod with my new computer. It tells me all of my current music will be erased from my iPod. How do I prevent that from happening?

Obvious question, but have you got 'Find My iPhone' set on both devices? Settings>iCloud>Find My iPhone.

You can't merge Apple IDs. What you could do is set up your phone to use the same iCloud accout you are using on your Mac. To do this, go to Settings>iCloud and turn all synced data (Contacts, Calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted, choose to keep the data on the phone. When everything is off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Now add the iCloud account you set up on your Mac (with the same Apple ID) and turn syncing back on for Calendars, Contacts, etc. When prompted, you will probably want to choose merge, to merge the data on your phone with the existing data on this iCloud account.

How do you manage an Ipod and Iphone on the same computer

Hi how do you manage an Ipod and Iphone on the same computer?
I have my ihpone but for running and cycling i also have my ipod nano, every time i connect one or the other it wipes songs that i want to keep?

create a playlist for each device and sync only that playlist.
i'm syncing four mobile devices to iTunes and each has its own playlist. works like a charm.

How do I take pictures off my nano and place them on my computer?

How do I take pictures off my nano and place them on my computer?
I open the drive... and there are 4 folders, contacts, calendar, notes and photos (in photos there is a folder called thumbs and a file called photo database) Not to mention my music is nowhere to be found on the drive...
Is it even possible to take photos and songs off a ipod and place them on a computer?

If you only copied the photos as thumbnails (and it seems you did), you can't do this by enabling disk use and dragging the photos from iPod to computer so you'll need a program such as this one.
CopyPod Photo
Photos as thumbnails won't be of the original quality when copied back to your computer.

I deleted all of my music off of my old computer. The music is still on my IPOD nano and I have a new computer. Is there anyway I can get the music off of my IPOD on to Itunes on my new computer?

Try here:

or
