How to have 2 different ipods on one itunes..

For the longest time i've been the only one with an ipod in my family, so I just imported through my main music library.
Now my sister has an ipod, and I need to know how to make it so we can have seperate song folders that won't sinc eachothers music onto our seperate ipods.
I plugged hers in, and now she has all my songs on her ipod.
She doesn't want my songs.
How do I make it so that we have seperate accounts on one itunes?

    My Wife and I both have 80 Gig iPods. We like different Music. How can we both use the same Windows XP computer and have different music lists?

  • Is it possible to have 2 different Ipods on one computer?

    I have a Ipod mini first generation and just got a new 30G Ipod.
    I downloaded all my music on to the new Ipod and when to Clean out the old one to download music for my mom on it.
    After I was done downloading the old Ipod with my mom music I went to put some new music on the New 30G. When I connected the Ipod to USB port I lost all the music I already had and it put my mom's music on it?
    Is there any way to have 2 i pod playlist on the same Itunes and not lose my music?

    We have 2 minis (my brother and me) , one computer two different tastes in music. The link to help with this is no longer available. I need a way to have one iTunes, but not mix music or have the downloads mix/delete etc. Is there an easy way? I understand about having different users under user accounts, which we do and have disabled fastswitching. I'm not the brightest iPod user so if you have simple instructions it will be very much appreciated!

  • How can I manage 2 ipods on one Itunes library?

    I'm sure this must have been answered elsewhere but I can't find a difinitive answer...
    I have an ipod which I want to keep at home and am thinking of buying a Nano for when I'm out. How do you manage the two devices when obviously one carries vastly fewer songs?
    I read somewhere that you need two itunes accounts but surely there are loads of people now with a large capacity device plus a smaller one - is it not easier than that having two seperate accounts now?

  • How to have three Windows laptops share one iTunes library stored on a networked external drive?

    We just replaced our one desktop PC with three laptops.  Each laptop wants to access the same iTunes library, which now resides on an external drive connected to the network via our router.  How can this be done, and if one laptop adds a file to the library, will the other two see it?

    I used the consolidate library feature and it moved all the music to the appropriate iTunes folder on the Share.
    Good!
    I have the Vista laptop pointing to the Share for the iTunes Media folder location.
    Good!
    The question is how do I add the files to her library?
    Go to your File menu and use the command Add Folder to Library. When the dialog comes up, point it to the Music folder in the Share area. But read on first...
    Also do I keep the boxes checked "Keep iTunes Media folder organized"
    You must turn off the "Keep..." option. Otherwise, when one of you changes a tag, iTunes will re-"organize" and the other person's iTunes will lose the link.
    The "Copy..." option should also be turned off. As you add new music, put it where you want it. Then you must "Add File to Library" from each iTunes.

  • HT1918 is it possible to have two different password within one iTunes account?  one to log in with and a different one to use when making a purchase?

    Is is possible to have two different passwords within itunes? one to log in with and a different one to make purchases with?

    The system is not setup to provide that kind of sservice.  If making certain purchases it does ask for an answer to one of your security questions, so that provides a little more security for some purchases, just not all.

  • How do i sync different ipods on same itunes/computer?

    I have an ipod classic and shuffle. Shuffle was purchased afterwards.
    I managed to create a separate library and added songfs into Shuffle's library. Now i'd like to sync, but forgot how
    to bring up each account, but can't open that library. Little help>???? Thanks.

    With iTunes, you can only run 1 library at a time. Libra allows you to create more than one library and switch between them. You will have to use something like Libra to import your other library, the one that you create for your shuffle and have libra switch to it. The problem that you will run into is that if you switch to your other library, when you plug in your ipod classic, iTunes will tell you that it was synced with another library and you will need to erase and sync. If you want to sync both ipods to the same library, 1 of the them will need to be erased and synced.

  • How do you share 2 iPods on one iTunes?

    Me and my brother have 1 iPod each. But the problem is that we only have 1 computer. How do you make it so that you can have 2 iPods but only 1 iTunes and we still have our own songs and stuff like that?

    Just make sure after plugging in your IPOD that you set both to manually update. Do you know how to do this? Unless of course you want the same exact playlist that he has. You'll have to create your own folders and drag your songs into your IPOD this this way. Same as using windows explorer. Someday the brilliant programmers at Apple might figure out how to build this feature into I-Tunes! After all, there are many multiply IPOD families in the world.

  • 2 Video Ipods Sharing One Itunes Library ?

    OK I have the 30 Gig 5th Gen Ipod and I love it. Now I want to swap my Zune for a friends 30 Gig 5th Gen Ipod. That would leave me with 2, 30 GB Ipods. My question is how do I use 2 Ipods with one Itunes Library & account? I'm probably going to want one Ipod to just Automatically update to the Library and the other I will just pick & choose manually, if I can. Is this possible ? I know I have to name the new Ipod a different name. I hate the Zune software so I'm giving up on it and having 2 Ipods instead. I also have the IM7 Altec Boom Box and an Ipod adaotor installed in my car. Thanks in advance.

    There are various methods of transferring different songs to different iPods with a single iTunes library.
    One is to manage the songs manually.
    With this setting, you can drag and drop songs/playlists etc onto the iPod from iTunes, and also delete and/or edit songs which are currently on the iPod without affecting the iTunes library.
    If you wish to keep the convenience of automatic sync, then you could set the iPods to sync with "selected playlists". This setting can be found in the iPod summary screen under the 'music' tab. With this setting, different playlists can be transferred and later deleted from each iPod without affecting any playlists stored in iTunes or the playlists on the other iPods.
    Also, on the 'summary' main page you will see the option to "only sync checked items". With this setting selected, if you remove the check marks from any songs in iTunes, they will not be transferred to the iPod. You can restore the check mark if you want to put the songs back on the iPod at a later date.
    Be aware that when playing songs in iTunes, any songs that do not have a check mark against them will be skipped over and will not be played.

  • Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?

    You can't do that.
    And before you decide to store any music that you own on a computer at work, talk to your IT department. Many organizations do not permit it for legal reasons. Standard policies are that anything stored on company owned computers is the property of the company. It could not be legally stored on their machines unless you transfer the licenses and all copies, physical and digital, to the company, meaning you no longer own the music. If they were to be audited and could not prove that they own the music, they would be subject to copyright violation penalties. Just use your iPod when you're at the office if you want to listen to music.

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

  • Can I use 2 ipods on one itunes account?  I have also used 2 computers.

    I'll try to make this clear.
    I had one computer and one ipod set up on itunes. The computer ran on Windows XP.
    I gave the computer to my niece and left the itunes account alone.
    I bought a new computer that runs Windows Vista. I installed a new itunes account.
    I bought a smaller ipod to record audio books. I wanted to keep the larger ipod for music.
    Now I have the smaller ipod on the new computer. If I decide to download music, I can't use the larger ipod that I want to use for music. How can I own two ipods and use itunes? I am not file sharing. I just wanted two devices for two purposes because I like to keep the audio books separate. Now if I go back to the original ipod (the larger video one)it is not recognized on my new computer. A lot of the music on the original Windows XP computer was from CDs that I owned, not just music I purchased. I probably should have just stuck with one ipod, but I didn't. I am so confused.
    Can I put the music on my old ipod, from the old computer, on the new itunes? I would then just use the new ipod. It probably has much more storage than I realized. Then what happens when it syncs? Would I lose everything? Is there a machine that can transfer music from one ipod to another, then I could just sync it all on the new ipod and new computer?

    Hi mverza
    Yes you can use as many ipods as you like on differnet itunes libarys. As long as you manually manage your ipods and don't sync. You can put your purchased music on as many ipods as you like (as long as you manually manage your music and you connect to the computer you bought it from). You can transfer purchased music to your ipod for a maximum of 5 computers (so you can play music purchased music on only 5 computers) although apple have changed the rules so there is no file protection)
    But see here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420 for more infomation.
