How to have 2 computers and 1 ipod

how do i have two seperate librarys both transfer music to my ipod and not have to share the files between eachother while the ipod is a summed library of the two PC's

Locke de Bretteville,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
When you connect the iPod to the other computer it will ask if you want to link it with this computer. Click "No" and the content on your iPod will not be erased.
(at least on Mac it works this way)
From there you can get things to work as mentioned in the earlier posts.

  • I have changed computers and my Ipod wants to esase contend and sinc.  I don't have the music on the new computer thats on the ipod. How do i get the music off the ipod onto the computer. Tried a few things no joy. Help

    I have changed computer and my ipos wants to erase and sync to an empty list on the new computer.  i don't have the music thats currently on the ipod on the computer.  How do I get it across?  Tried through drive directory but it does not recognise all the music. My old lap top is dead, cant even boot it up.  Itunes was one of the things I didnt rescue..  Any suggestions?

    You'll need the help of some sort of third party software such as CopyTrans or Phone to PC.
    Google for other possibilities.

  • HT1349 I only have two computers and an ipod. says I have 5 accounts already

    I have had my itunes on old laptops that I no longer have. How can I get my icloud on my pc?

    You can resolve this by logging onto one of the computers that you do have access to the Apple Store in iTunes on and logging into the Account section. You can then remove all or just some of the computers that you are not usign anymore. Let me know if this works or not and I can send some screen shots.

  • I have multiple computers and iPhones and now iTunes will not allow my wife to load applications or use her own iTunes playlists.  How can I setup each device for each user correctly?

    We have multiple computers and iPhone devices which I have passed on to other family members, such as my wife.  Now she is not able to load apps to her devices, eventhough it appear she is logged into her own iTunes account.  How can I setup iTunes correctly on each device?  Currently, there is one PC and one Mac laptop and we each have iPhones, with one other family member not able to use his 'passed-down' device for iTunes, also.

    Hello dal1820
    Check out the article below on how to use multiple devices with one computer. The main idea that I want to point out is to have different users for each person as it is the easy way to make sure that no issue happen when syncing.

  • I have three iPads and one iPod and one iPhone.  How can I message between them without sending the message to all of them.  You send the message to your email address but all of them are set up und one account.

    You can have a different receiving email in the Messages app on each device : Settings > Messages > Receive At . I'm not sure that there is a different way to have the message only go to one device.

    If you no longer have the old computer this will be very helpful and If you have other content - apps, books, movies, that you want to transfer to the iTunes library - you need to transfer your purchases from the iPod to the computer as well.
    Take a look.

    This works the same way whether you have a Mac or a PC.

    That's because you're using the same Apple ID on both devices. On your phone: Settings>FaceTime>You Can Be Reached at>Remove your Apple ID.

    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    or
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

    When iTunes say that try to find the file you want iTunes to play in your iTunes > Media folder.  If iTunes offers to find others, let it. If it does not find them all you will have to find them yourself or re-add the files from your drive to iTunes (use Automatically Add to iTunes folder).

  • Technofool with two computers and two ipods!!!

    Ok, its similar to the thread about two ipods and one pc, but I have a pc and a laptop, an old 20g ipod with about 4,500 song on it and now I got a Touch for xmas.
    The question is: I want to put my library (4,500 songs) onto the laptop. How can I transfer music from the pc/20g onto the laptops library so I can then transfer some of the music to the new Touch. Confused? That makes two of us!
    Alls I want is all my stuff on both computers and both ipods.
    Please reply as if you are speaking to a child, nice and simple! Thanks.

    Probably the most straightforward way to get iTunes onto your new computer is to network it with the old one and copy your iTunes folder across. This works fine if you have been using iTunes to completely manage your music and all your songs are in iTunes Music not in different folders. You can also use this method with an external hard drive, you drag the folder from the old computer to the external drive and then from the drive to the new computer. If the songs in your library are not all in the iTunes Music folder you can consolidate them. When you consolidate, any songs in the iTunes Library that are not in the iTunes Music Folder are copied to the Music Folder and the Library is updated to point to those new files. Files already in the iTunes Music Folder have no changes made to them: Copying all your iTunes files to one location - Windows
    Copying the whole folder brings with it the iTunes Music folder and also the iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl in Windows) database file which holds all the information about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?
    When you copy the iTunes folder make sure you put it into the same location on the new computer. This has to be the exact same place, on a PC this is \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\. When you open iTunes on the new computer it will be the same as on the original one Songs, Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings etc. When I moved iTunes a while ago for my daughter I was also using the same version of iTunes, not sure how important that is but it's probably worth keeping them the same.
    Your older iPod can also be used as an external drive and you can move the iTunes folder onto it: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    If you have any iTunes purchases in your library don't forget that you'll need to authorise your new computer to play them: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and

  • I have an iPhone and an iPod with the same iCloud/Apple ID but I don't want have the same stuff on them?

    Ok so I have an iPhone and an iPod which share the same iCloud/appleID. I did this today when I got my new iPhone I put in my iCloud details which put everything I had on my iPod onto my iPhone(I was unaware this happened). I'm happy with all the apps added straight on and my contacts added but I don't want to have all my photos from my iPod on my iPhone. I want to keep the photos from my iPod on my iPod and when I take pictures on my iPhone they stay just on my iPhone. I'm wondering if this is possible as it's with the iCloud? I have previous synced my iPod on my laptop when adding music ect but I don't know if that effects iCloud I don't really know but I'm worried if I delete all the pictures off of my iPhone then sync that then sync my iPod into the same laptop will it wipe those pictures since there off my iPhone? I don't really get how all this works so help is very much appreciated!!  And I hope what I've wrote makes sense to someone!

    Welcome to the Apple Community lizzie.
    If you don't want photo stream to sync your photos between devices go settings > iCloud and uncheck photos, do this on each device.
