  • Using Multiple Ipods with 1 PC

    What do I need to do so that my daughter can also maintain a plat list on my PC.
    I have my play list for my ipod. She would like to have her own play list/ipod set up on my pc as well.
    Thanks,

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    See this...
    Using Multiple iPods With One Computer
    Also, you can have many different playlists set up in one iTunes library and have iPods just sync from one playlist.
    I am assuming you want two different libraries?
    Either way, see the link for more information.

  • How to use multiple iPods in iTunes??

    Had existing iPod touch and bought a second one, need to know how to setup in iTunes and have different libraries if possible

    Hello hog head,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    You can create a second library by holding down the Shift key upon opening iTunes. From there, choose to create a new library. For more and information regarding using this method and others for managing multiple iPods with one computer, see this Apple support document.

  • How do i sync multiple ipods to itunes

    Hi can anyone tell me how u can sync multiple ipod touch to i tunes. Have 2 i phones and 2 ipod touches in the house xx help

    The same way you sync just one. If y want different media on each iPod then only select the items you want synced to each iPod
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod       
    Try syncing using the manual method

    Also, I would go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says prevent iPods... for syncing automatically so that you can more easily check what you want syned

  • How do you use multiple displays with a MacBook Pro and iMac

    I have an iMac and a MacbookPro laptop both upgraded to OS X 10.9 (Mavericks).  I'd like to use multiple displays with them.  Can I do this without an Apple TV?  They are both on the same network.  If I can, can someone please give some instructions on how this can be done?
    Thanks!

    Both computers have ports for external monitors. Check your user manuals. Only one display can be added to the MBP, but newer iMacs have dual Thunderbolt ports.
    Do your own Google research to learn what to do, but reading your manuals should be all you really need. It' not rocket science yet.

  • HT4527 how do i sync my ipod with itunes on a new computer, when i don't have access to my old computer?

    how do i sync my ipod with i tunes on a new computer when i don't have access to my old computer?

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

    How do I use the cloud on iTunes?

    You can not setup a new iCloud account using a PC. You must use an Apple device (Mac or iPhone/iPad) to create the account, then sign into it using your PC.

  • How do I sync multiple ipods with nike plus

    My wife and I have seperate (6th gen) ipods, with seperate nike plus accounts, but one itunes intall and one library.  How do I prevent itunes from syncing the wrong ipod to the wrong nike plus account?  Currently both ipods are trying to sync to the same nike plus account, and I can't seem to unlink the one that is syncing to the wrong account.

  • I use multiple libraries with itunes - should I create a new library for a 2nd iphone

    I use multiple iTunes libraries to manage multiple devices from the same PC.  I'm purchasing an iPhone 6 and currently have a library for my iPhone 4.  Would I create a new library for this new device?  Also, to restore all content to my new phone, Will this restore be done from the existing iPhone 4 library?  Is this process documented?

    I can't address specific issues regarding iPhones, but in general you can manage multiple iDevices from a single iTunes library.  The test approach is to maintain one or more playlists for each iDevice you use, and configure the latter to sync only from the relevant playlists:

  • Using New ipod with itunes 6.5

    I just got a new 30gb ipod video and i do not want to install itunes 7.0 (due to all the problems and things its been having) and when i plug my ipod into my computer and open itunes i get the error message " The ipod can not be used because it requires itunes version 7.0 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of itunes" Is there any way i can make my ipod work with itunes version 6.0.5.20. and not updating to Itunes version 7.0

    No. If your MacBook has an Intel processor you can update to OSX 10.6.8 and then install the latest iTunes.
    A 5G iPod with iOS 7 requires that if you have a Mac you have OSX 10.6.8 or later.
    You can get 10.6.8 here:

  • Using Multiple Libraries With iTunes 7.5

    I recently updated to 7.5, using multiple libraries does not work anymore. The dialog to choose library if holding the option key while opening itunes will not appear anymore. anyone having a similar problem? Multiple libraries are a necessity for me.

    I am also having this problem. I tried to create a separate library, but when I followed the directions (hitting shift when I open iTunes) I did not get the option to do so. My regular account just opens. Have you resolved your problem yet?

  • How do I use two Ipods with my Itunes?

    I just bought an additional Ipod. How can I get songs just for this ipod? When I connect it, is it going to download my music to the new one? I want to have two separate files. Please help.

    When you are adding a second iPod for your own use, just connect the new iPod to your computer and follow the on screen instructions. It will update from your existing library. Depending on the size of your library and the type of iPod you choose you can have it update the whole library, selected playlists or you can manage it manually. With the first option it will update everything. With the second option only the tracks in the selected playlists (rather than the entire music library) are downloaded to iPod when you connect. With the manual update option, you manage what goes into your iPod by dragging and dropping selected songs or playlists into iPod:
    Loading songs onto iPod automatically
    Managing content manually on iPod
