How many iPods can listen to iTunes Content?

If I have 1 instance of iTunes running on my PC, how many iPods can I connect to the PC and pull playlists from? (i.e. - I have 1 pc running iTunes, and I have 3 different iPods... will they all be able to work and listen to the music I have purchased?)

There is no limit to the number of iPods you can dock to 1 computer. I use both my video iPod & shuffle on 1 computer. You are confusing the limit of 5 authorized computers to play purchased content from the iTunes store which has nothing to do with the # of iPods.

    No, you can sync your DRM tracks to an unlimited number of iPods (but only authorized to play on 5 different computers/user accounts)

    So I can sync two iPods to my iTunes account and sync the same digital copy movies that come with some o' my DVDs to both ipods? Do movies make a difference really, DRM-Wise? Thanks in advance.

  • How many iPods can sync with One iTunes account?

    How many iPods can one sync with an iTunes account ? I have searched the net and there are many different posts but none conclusive. So was wondering if anyone here had a clear idea on that.

    But how many ipod can I sync with only one iunes store account?
    None.
    iPod don't sync with an iTunes account.
    iPods sync with iTunes on a computer.
    You can have 5 computers authorized to play songs/movies from one iTunes account.
    Each computer can have 5 iTunes accounts authorized.
    An iPod can have music/movies from 5 different iTunes accounts.
    Note that this only applies to iTunes purchases with DRM, which is movies, tv shows and older iTunes music. All music now purcahsed is DRM free.

  • HT3819 How many Ipods can I sync to a single computer?

    how many Ipods can I sync to a single computer?

    iTunes is limited to authorizing only five computers with each iTunes account. This means that you can only authorize five separate Mac or PC computers or user accounts to playback protected iTunes content or use Home Sharing using a single iTunes Account. 
    For example, if you have created five different user accounts on the same computer, and have authorized iTunes for each user account on that one computer with the same iTunes Account, then you have reached your maximum number of authorizations.  This is also true if you have used that one iTunes Account on the same user account on five different computers. Basically, each iTunes Account can authorize up to a maximum of five instances of iTunes.
    You can deauthorize computers or accounts at any time following the instructions found at Apple’s support website. Once you have iTunes configured with a single  iTunes Account, there is not no limit to the number of iPods, iPhones, and iPads one can sync to a single iTunes library.

  • How many iPODS can you download your music library to?

    I've purchased 3 iPODS over time and have downloaded from my iMAC to each.
    Is there a limit to how many iPODS I can download to? On the last one I got a message saying I only had one more left. These are all legal purchases. Why is there a limit?

    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/authorization/
    "* iTunes DRM-protected music includes audio with a bit rate of 128 kbps and allows users to transfer songs and videos to up to five computers, burn seven copies of the same playlist to CD, and sync to an unlimited number of iPods.
    iTunes Plus music refers to songs and music videos available in our highest-quality 256 kbps AAC encoding (twice the current bit rate of 128 kbps), and without digital rights management (DRM). There are no burn limits and iTunes Plus music will play on all iPods, Mac or Windows computers, Apple TVs, and many other digital music players."

  • How many times can you transfer itunes to ipod?

    After I accidentally erased my itunes from my ipod i tried to re-transfer them from itunes library. Can I do this more than 1 time or is one time the limit on songs purchased from itunes?

    Songs purchased on the iTunes Music Store can be copied to an unlimited number of computers. However, only five computers at a time can play your purchased music. There is no limit on how many times a song is transferred to your iPod as you do not need to authorise your iPod just the computer that it links to.

  • How many iPods can be registered to iTunes?

    Currently two shuffles and one iPod are registered to iTunes. I'm about to acquire two Nanos.
    Somewhere I recall reading that iTunes would allow only so many iPods/Shuffles/Nanos to be registered. Is there a limit to the number of units that can be registered?
    If there is a limit how does one deauthorize one of the units? The iPod is NG, so it is the one that will be deauthorize. The two Nanos have not been registed. Can someone please explain the procedures?

    No limit.
    You do not authorize iPods, only computers.

  • I already have an iTunes account but need to open a new one as I have many apple products but am limited to how many I can use my iTunes account on. How do I open a new one please. Thanks

    Hi I already have an itunes account registered to my address and email address.
    The problem is, I have many apple products but i'm limited to how many products I can use one itunes account for.
    How do I open a new itunes account for the same address please.
    Thanks for your help.
    Sam

    Well, you can probably do it, but then you also have to buy the products again to use them from the other account since they cannot be transferred or shared between accounts.  So if you have 7 computers and want the same movie authorized on all of them, you'll have to buy the movie twice and then authorize some devices on one account and others on the other.
    Do you really have >5 devices, or is it just that you have a lot of devices authorized that no longer exist but are tying up authorization slots?  If that's the case, you can deauthorize things.

    I have no idea how to do multiple accounts but you may need to create a new e-mail address (plenty of free ones out there).

  • How many iPods can I link on my laptop?

    I'm thinking of buying a second iPod and wondered if anyone knew if I'll be able to have two separate music libraries on my laptop?
    Thanks in advance.
    Thomas

    You can have as many iPods as you want.
    You can have separate libraries for each of them, but there is no reason to do so.
    A single iTunes library can sync to multiple iPOds with no trouble at all.
    If you want different songs on each iPod, then you can simply make separate playlists for each iPod and tell your iPod to only sync specific playlists. Much easier than having multiple libraries.

  • How many iPods can sync to one iTunes acct.?

    I have a single iTunes account with a 7,000 song library. I want to sync additional iPods to this account. Can this be done or am I limited to sync one iPod to each iTunes account?

    Well, I'm currently syncing three regularly. If there is a limit, I don't know what it is.

  • How many users can access networked itunes at one time?

    So we've got an Apple Extreme router and I've plugged a hard-drive in the back which has both our itunes & iphoto libraries on it. The idea being that all 3 of our mac laptops can use one networked library.
    However we are finding that only one mac can access each library at any one time - if another mac attempts to access the program simultaneously, it receives a message that the program is locked.
    Is it possible for more than one mac to access each program at any one time? If so, how?
    Thanks,
    James

  • TS4006 How many ipods can be on find my iphone app or in the list

    My daughter lost her ipod touch.  I had it listed on Find My iPhone.  So, I had my iPhone, and two iPod Touches listed.  It was showing offline and we cannot locate it.  I had an extra iPod touch not being used.  So, I registered it to my iTunes account and added it.  If I go under my Apple Support Profile, it does show that I have 1 iPhone and 3 iPod Touches now.  However, it no longer shows the one that is lost on my Find My iPod app or when I log onto iCloud.  It is almost like the one I added over wrote the one that was lost.  If I go onto My Support Profile page, I can see all of the iPod Touches registered under my account.  I just wanted to keep that on on my Find My iPod, because it is lost.  I am hoping it turns up, but if anyone tries to use it now, I cannot track it's location.  Can someone please give me any feed back on this?  Thank you!! 

    See:
    iCloud: Troubleshooting Find My iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac
    Likely that either:
    - The iPod is not connected to the internet. That could be due to the iPod not being within range of of a wifi network that the iPod has connected to before. Because of this fact the Find feature is not that useful for an iPod since it does not have a cellular connection like iPhones. Or the battery could be dead too.
    - The iPod has been erased/restore for use or to be resold
