How do I use iTunes with new iPod

I have my own video iPod, and use iTunes without a problem.
However, I bought a refurbished iPod for a relative, and am now trying to download music onto this new iPod. When I go into my iTunes with the new iPod connected to my computer, I can't get the new iPod to show up on the task bar -- so I can't download music onto it.
Do I have to create a separate account for this new iPod, or somehow download iTunes again for this new iPod in order to get music onto it???
Thanks.

Using a second iPod is normally just a question of connecting it to your computer choosing how you want to update it and using your existing iTunes. You don't need a separate Windows account unless two users want to use the one computer and maintain separate libraries. You don't need two instances of iTunes for separate accounts. Have you had look at either of these troubleshooting pages?

Using iTunes For Multiple iPod's

Hey,
Anyone know how to use iTunes for two iPod's without the songs being erased and all that ...kind of like having two seperate library folders.
Thanks In Advance,

Well there are two way to go about this.
Number 1. Having seperate windows accounts, with iTunes on both, will give you seperate libraries.
Number 2. Set both iPods to update Automatically but to only the playlists you select. This will keep your playlists on it and whatever you don't want on there off. Same goes for the other iPod.
I myself use the number 2 option for my iPod Video and my Moms Nano. The only thind you got to remember, if you plan on updating or if you added new music and want it on your iPod, is to select the new playlist you made. This options works great

How can I use iTunes with my Moto Q?

Can I get QuickTime for my phone? I've downloaded a video for my son, but can't play it in Windows media player. What options do I have to use iTunes with my phone?

Video purchased through the iTunes store can be played on your computer, an iPod, through AppleTV. It can't however be transferred to a Motorola Q. Sorry.

How can I use TrueSequenceFactory with multiple sequences

In the post "How to use existing Oracle sequences using KODO" answered
by Marc Prud'hommeaux a "sample code" was given. But seems to me that
example will only work with a single Oracle sequence for the entire
system. Is this right?
How can I use TrueSequenceFactory with primary-keys and their
respective existing sequences? Can you (SolarMetric guys) provide me a
sample code?

The problem is that you are using application-identity. When you
specify an objectid-class, we treat is automatically as application
identity. To resolve this, I would recommend removing both the
objectid-class and identity-type atributes from your class. With
"objectid-class" in place, we asssume that you wil take care of identity.

Well, I'll show what I have...
This is the script of my table:
CREATE TABLE LINEUP_VOYAGE (
VOYAGEID NUMBER (10) NOT NULL,
VESSEL_NAME VARCHAR2 (1000) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT PK_LINEUP_VOYAGE
PRIMARY KEY ( VOYAGEID ) ) ;
This is an excerpt of my .jdo file:
<class name="LineupVoyage" objectid-class="LineupVoyageId"
identity-type="datastore">
<extension vendor-name="kodo" key="table" value="LINEUP_VOYAGE"/>
<extension vendor-name="kodo" key="sequence"
value="LINEUP_VOYAGEID_SEQ"/>
<extension vendor-name="kodo" key="pk-column" value="VOYAGEID"/>
<extension vendor-name="kodo" key="lock-column" value="none"/>
<extension vendor-name="kodo" key="class-column" value="none"/>
<field name="vesselName">
<extension vendor-name="kodo" key="data-column"
value="VESSEL_NAME"/>
</field>

</class>
As you can see, the "id" field is commented.
And this is my class:
package br.com.fertimport.entity;
import java.util.*;
public class LineupVoyage {
     private String vesselName;
//     private long id;
//     public LineupVoyage(long id) { this.id = id; }
//     public long getId() { return id; }
//     public void setId(long id) { this.id = id; }
     public String getVesselName() { return vesselName; }
     public void setVesselName (String vesselName) { this.vesselName =
vesselName; }
The "id" attribute is commented.
Now the questions...
To use ClassSequenceFactory must the identity-type of my entities be
application or datastore?
Is the "objectid-class" parameter required in this case?
As you see, all references to the "id" property are commented. Can I
use this property to represent my object id?
If not, how can I identify my object with something like a long?
The last question is related to my architecture: one VM with the EJBs
(entity and session) and another VM with the web classes and JSPs,
connected by a session facade. I don't want to use any Kodo or JDO stuff
in the web tier. Is this possible?

How can I use airplay with multiple speakers from my iPod?

I recently purchased a bluetooth wireless speaker in hopes that, while the ipod is docked on a speaker system, I can listen to my music from both set of speakers. Is there anyway to use multiple speakers with my ipod through the airplay system or an app that I can download to enhance my music listening experience?

Based on previous discussions, You can only AiPlay to one set of speakers.

What are the options to use itunes with multiple accounts on one computer

I am totally confused; apple phone support seems to have no clue at least the person I spoke to. I want to get two iTunes accounts on one computer, one exists already. I am not sure what apple allows in this case. I was told at a apple store that if you create another PC profile you should be able to get the second iTunes account on the same computer with the new windows profile. There seems to be no info on the discussions board to this issue.
I do not want to share an account and have a second library I think it would be too confusing for the other person. Is this possible?

You can purchase music using multiple accounts within the same Windows profile & using the same iTunes library. I think when you log into the store it remembers the last account name used, but provided you don't let it remember your password then you have the opportunity to enter the correct details for each purchase.
If you're going to place these purchases on your respective iPod's the following may help.
*How to use multiple iPods with one computer*
The Apple support document How to use multiple iPods with one computer suggests a number of ways. I use method two (Sync with selected playlists) with a slight twist. Rather than regular playlists I set the grouping field to indicate which users should receive which tracks and create smart playlists based on the content of this field.
e.g.
"Alice's Tracks" is "Grouping contains Alice" + "Kind contains audio"
"Bob's Videos" is "Grouping contains Bob" + "Kind does not contain audio"
Tracks that both Alice & Bob want on their iPods have the grouping set to "Alice/Bob"
etc.
I currently manage our family's five iPods using this system, each getting a different selection to suit their tastes and the capacity of their iPod. An advantage of using the grouping field is that it is stored in file tags (for non-wav audio files anyway) so that it is relatively easy to recreate the playlists should the iTunes library get trashed. Also useful if you move files about manually as playlist membership is preserved when you delete & re-import the tracks.

Using iTunes with multiple logins

Having just taken delivery of a new PC and set up user accounts for my g/f & I, I have hit a problem with iTunes. I installed it (and the latest update) under my login and copied the database from my old PC into the shared music folders, imported the library (after exporting it from my old PC) and in the advance tab re-directed iTunes to look at the shared music folders and also to share music. At this point all worked well, I plugged in my iPod to charge and it correctly worked out that no syncing was required.
I then swapped to the other login to continue setting up e-mails, etc. and it wanted me to install iTunes again, which I did and now every time my g/f logs in she gets iTunes auto-starting - but it doesn't list all the tunes despite being redirected to the shared directory. Though it doesn't auto-start for me, but I can still run it all properly from my login.
My idea was that we should both have an iTunes client in our logins that would share one iTunes database.
Has anyone else had this issue, or can anyone lead me in the right direction to resolve?
Many thanks in advance,
Nigel

Using iTunes on multiple ipods and PCs

I currently have an iPod mini (purchased 2005) which I use in conjunction with iTunes on my PC. My mini is now on its last legs, and so my partner and I are going to get some replacements: two iPod shuffles (one each) and a classic to put our combined music collections on.
There are a couple of things that I could use help with.
1.) How do I connect the three new iPods that we're going to buy to my existing iTunes library?
2.) Is it possible to create a combined iTunes library that is shared between my PC and my partner's PC, so that we can each share each other's music? (My partner is not currently on iTunes and would have to sign up first).
3.) Is it possible to use our shared iPod classic both on my PC and on my partner's? (My PC runs on windows xp and my partner's on windows 2000).
Thanks for your help!

If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer or with more than one library you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different. You can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library (iPod shuffles can only be used with one library by the way):

Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

Using iTunes with multiple macs

I have a MacBook Pro and a Mac mini. I use a portable hard drive to store my iTunes library. I was able to use the same library for both Macs before and I'm not sure when (maybe before iTunes 8) but I'm not able to anymore. I can run it just fine in my MBP and when I open the library up on the mini, nothing's there. I make sure I hold down Option when opening iTunes then I click choose library and go to my external hard drive and select the right library. I also have an iPhone with 2.1 installed, not that that should matter. Any suggestions?

I am currently storing my iTunes Library on a external hard drive attached to my MacMini (10.5.4). I have my iMac 3.06(10.5.5) and my MacMini linked to that library. I just tried this so not 100% percent sure all the bugs are out, but it looks like it's going to work. I tired it with one artist that I have purchased music and imported music for. The only problem I have now is how to keep them up-to-date. If I import on one machine I also have to import on the other. Not sure if this helps but it sounds like you are already doing what I am doing. NOTE: I am also using iTunes 8. How did you keep them up-to-date when buying or import new music. If anyone know please let me know. Thanks

Using Itunes with multiple hard drives

I'm a new mac user and have a 250GB external hard drive with two FAT partitions. They appear as two individual drives to my MAC. Each partition has a lot of music. Its more that one of the partitions can hold. I can access and play songs in itunes by accesing them through the file system on the hard drives.
I saw the option to point itunes to an external hard drive in the advanced general preferences tab, but it seems to have a limitation of one location/folder. I can't seem to find a way to make itunes aware of multiple folders which could exist on multiple disk. I'm using Itunes 7.02, on MAC 10.4.8. Is there a way to do this, or is it a limitaiton of itunes?
Joe

Jeveland,
Welcome to Discussions,
Although iTunes only has one 'iTunes Music folder location', the music can be stored at any location and added to the library.
The 'iTunes Music folder location' is the location where iTunes stores ripped CDs and purchased music. It does not tell iTunes where your music is stored.
The locations of your songs are stored in the 'iTunes Library' file.
Read more about the library files here.
Uncheck 'Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to the library' in Preferences>Advanced>General. Then add your music to the library.
Hope this helps.
