How do I share Itunes between two ipods useing same account?

My mom and I want to share my itunes. I have an Ipod shuffle and she have an Ipod nano. My mom just got her first Ipod. I'v had mine years before her. So I already have my itunes account and everything. I know how to share the music and create playlist and libraries. The only problem I have is that the itunes and computer don't recognise my mom's ipod. If they don't recognise my mom's ipod she can't download music. So how do I get the itunes and computer to  recoginses my mom's ipod and my ipod on the same account?

  • How do i share iTunes between two users on same iMac

    Hi,
    i had 1 account with Admin privileges on our iMac from which the kids listened to iTines. I just created a separate user account for my kids with standard privileges and moved the iTunes directory from under my /users/ area to the /Users/Shared directory area. however, when i invoke iTunes from within my kids user account, the Library is unpopulated, even though under iTunes - Preferences, Advanced, the location of the iTunes shows up correctly as....Users:Shared:Music:iTunes:iTunesMusic. what am i missing?
    thanks

  • How do you share information between two iPod Touches?

    My girlfriend and I are considering iTouches to replace our old Palm Z22s. We beam a LOT of data between our Palms — grocery lists, contacts, events, notes, tasks, expenses, odometer/milage entries on cars — almost every day.
    How does one instantly transfer data between two iTouches?

    So there's no easy way to do this? Can't say I'm surprised, the way Apple has become a "my way or the highway" brand.
    It's simple: I've added 10 items to my grocery list. She's added 5 items to hers. We're at the grocery store, where I'm about to shop while she runs other errands.
    How do I get her shopping list from her iTouch to mine while standing there in front of the store?
    With our Palm Z22s, using 10-year-old technology, she can beam me her list in about 2 seconds.
    With the iPod Touch, apparently she can't send me her list at all, unless, what? She copies down each item into an email, finds free wifi, sends the email to me, I receive it, then copy the items in the email back into my copy of our shopping list app?
    REALLY?!?

  • How do i share files between two computers using the ethernet?

    i have bought a cord that is ethernet to ethernet. i do not understand how or where to go after the two computers are seemingly connected. i have a bunch of photos on iphoto id like to transfer. thank you.

    Out of curiosity do you already have a home network? If so do both computers connect to the network? In this case just use File Sharing which is enabled in the Sharing preferences.

  • How do I share files between two Macs using ethernet?

    I have two Macs, both running OS X 10.4.11. How can I connect them using ethernet in order to transfer files back and forth?
    Pete

    I have an ethernet hub with both computers connected to it. You may be able to just connect the two computers with a cable, but it might have to be a "Crossover cable"
    Go to your system preferences>>Sharing and turn of file sharing for each or both computers.
    Then go to the Finder>>Go>>Network and the other computer should show up there. Click to connect.
    You will have a choice to connect under a password or as a guest. If you want security, set up passwords, otherwise just use guest.

  • How do I share files between two Macs on my wireless network?

    I have an iMac G4 and an ibook G3 on a wireless network. I have "file sharing" activated on both computers. (Also Appletalk, which may or may not be a misguided move, but I got the idea from OSX "Help.")
    When I try to get from either computer onto the other, my computer is recognized by name (another alternative is to log on as a "guest"). I'm prompted for a password. None of the passwords I use works. I've tried the administrative passwords for both computers.
    How do I get beyond this hurdle to share files? I've posted elsewhere to no avail. This must be an easy one. How do you share files between two macs on one network?

    Do your accounts on the machines have the same short name? It's an issue I've seen a few names.. one machine with bsmith, the other with bobsmith, but the long names for both being "Bob Smith". The login windows would confuse users because it showed their names, but because the short names didn't match, it wouldn't work.
    The password you should use is the administrative one, so I don't know why you're not having luck.

  • How can I share data between two forms on different lists

    Using a custom content type, I created two lists that I want to share the same data - one is a calendar.  Our employees complete a form from the "Out of Office Request" list that has workflow functionality that sends an email to that person's
    manager.  If the manager approves the request, the item automatically populates the "Out of Office Calendar."  The problem is that the only information from the request list that populates the calendar is the Title field and date/time fields. 
    I need the manager name in order to create a view for each manager.  
    How can I connect the other information in the request list to the calendar list.  It seems to me that if the title and date fields carry over the information, there should be a way to connect the other information.  I'm using Designer.
    I've tried to connect the two lists' webparts with the wizard, but when I get to the page that maps the two lists, there are no column names and the "Next >" button is grayed out.  This seems like the logical place to connect the two lists,
    but it isn't working.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted share data between two forms on different lists.
    To show external  information on the calendar event, there are two methods: Calculated column, workflow. You can refer to:
    A Simple Guide to Show More Information on a Calendar Event
    I recommend to use workflow to achieve what you want. But you need to create a people column to display the manager.
    You can create a workflow associated to the "Out of Office Request" list, add action to Start Approve Process. If the manager approves the request, you can create a item in the calendar, and then update the people column and the title column.
    Then the calendar will display the Title, date/time and the manager.
    To create a view for each manager, you need to modify the Filter. You can use the people column is equal to the manager name or the Title contains the manager name.
    Thank you for your understanding.

  • How do i share music between two iphone 4s , but not downloaded apps ?

    i am trying to sync mine & my partners phones so that we can share itunes between both phones, i have set up 1 itunes account (using my apple id) & we each have a icloud account, i have managed to get the music to appear on both phones but it also brought all of my apps onto my partners phone, i think this must be because the itune account is in my apple id, is there a way to share music only ?
    Also to play all the music that is on itunes library on the computer, on my partners phone, you have to change his shared music library setting everytime you wish to see all that is on the itunes account, is this correct?
    hope you can help,

    make 2 user accounts on the computer
    move the music to a folder shared between the 2 accounts
    add the music to itunes on each user account
    sync
    and thats it

  • How to transfer app data between two different game center accounts?

    Hello, I really need some help.
    I have looked all over the web for ways to transfer apps between two different game center accounts and different devices. Several weeks ago I started playing Campus Life on my relative's Ipad 2, therefore spending many long hours to get to this point in the game.
    The problem is I just got an Iphone 5 and I really would like to transfer the data onto it, so that I would not need to start all over again.
    My grandma has an account (Game Center) onto which the data has been saved and I would like to have it stored onto mine. On some forum someone said to sign into the account which has the data on both devices and to then open up the game on the new device. It worked. Then I signed out and logged in with my own account- the game started from scratch. I panicked. I went back on the other account, and the data reappeared. I have been going back and forth, the game changing as many times. I thought it would ask to back up my grandma's data on mine but I was wrong. I can not seem to save the game onto my new account, and I have even tried to back it up to Itunes and then copy it onto my phone after having signed into my own account. And I don't know how to properly use Icloud. I am a mess. I am completely lost and have found no help on the web. (All people seem to have to deal with is sharing Apple IDs with different Game Center Accounts for the kids and transferring apps from one of their devices to another.)
    I am so worried I am going to mess up and will lose the whole thing completely.
    I have just started another game with my own account but since I am using my grandma's, the data is erased. It's one or the other but I definitely prefer saving Campus Life. I do not like the idea of having to only pick one.
    I do not know any technical terms, so if you understand or even have the slightest clue about what I am talking about, I applaud you.
    This seems like mission impossible, so if anyone can help in any way, I would be really grateful. 
    Thanks in advance for your time and thoughts!

    I meant to press on "This solved my question"... Sorry if you needed the points.
    Thank-you and I will just go back and forth between the accounts.
