How do you authorize an ipod?

My computer and Itunes account is under my name.  My wife has an ipod, and simply wants to copy over some of the music, but I tunes says her Ipod isn't "authorized".  I see how to authorize a computer for itunes, and in fact de-authorized, then reauthorized the computer, but it didn't work.   How do I get the Itunes to allow her Ipod to copy the tracks?  Note: It isn't the entire library, but just songs that were purchased.  Is this a DRM issue?  The strange thing is that I don't think this was a problem on her previous Ipod, which would have copied over the tracks.  Any suggestions?  thanks

"So there is a way I can have two Ipods have access one Itunes account? "
Yes.  You can sync as many ipods as you like to one library.  Open itunes, connect ipod, select what you want to sync, sync.
" If so, how does she get access to the music library under my account?"

  • How can I authorize an iPod Classic with my own Apple ID?

    How can I authorize an iPod Classic with my own Apple ID? It belonged to someone else so presumably it has been authorized with another id. Your help and answers are much appreciated.

    To make sure the file system is closed properly iPod classics should be ejected from the iTunes interface, or if iTunes isn't running, using the "Safely remove hardware" tool. That message is a standard warning. If the device shows up in iTunes you can configure the selection of media content that you want to sync to it and press the sync button to start the process. iTunes may spend quite a long time "thinking" before any tracks are copied over.
    If you think there might be something wrong with the device itself see Corrupt iPod classic for some troubleshooting tips.

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.

    How do you fix an ipod that has a black screen and it turns on but when it turns on the screen gets a lighter black but you still can't see the apps or anything?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

    To restore from backup see:

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

    If you set up the find my ipod feature that is built into your ipod and the ipod is on and it is connected to wi-fi and it has not been restored, then you may be able to get an approximate street address using icloud.
