How to syn two iPods on iTunes

I have a new iPod Nano (7) that is syned to my iTunes (12.1.0.50).  I would like to also syn an iPod Suffle (2).  Can it be done?  If so how?

Yes, just create one or more playlists that contain the media you want to be on each iPod, and configure each of them to sync to these playlists, as in this example:
With each iPod connected, make sure this option is selected ... you see this screen when you select the iPod and then the Music entry from the list on the left side of the screen.
Select the playlist(s) to be associated with this iPod - you'll see here that I have separate playlists defined for each of three iPods (8Gb 2nd gen, 4Gb 3rd gen, 16Gb 7th gen).
Then click Apply at the bottom of the screen.  Once you've set this up you can then manage the contents of these playlists in iTunes and the iPods will be correctly updated when you connect and sync them.  If you have other media types (audiobooks, podcasts, etc.) you'll need to repeat these configuration steps having selected the appropriate entry from the list on the left of the iTunes screen.

    Set up the second exactly the same way as you set up the first. If iTunes is already installed, it doesn't need to be installed again.

  • Copyright Question - two ipods with iTunes Music

    I apologize if this was answered in an FAQ or some other obvious place. I have googled around and can't seem to find the answer.
    I have just purchased my wife an iPod for Christmas, making us a two iPod household (including mine). Until this point my wife and I have shared music CDs. She would keep one for a bit in the car or at the house and after a bit I would take it and listen to it in my car, at the gym etc.
    How do we do this with iTunes? If I purchase an Album on iTunes, can I listen to it for a while on my iPod and then somehow transfer it to her account for her to then listen to for a while on her iPod? Does the copyright regulations of iTunes allow for sharing music around on different iPods?
    Thanks in advance for any assistance. We do try our best to stay legal on all fronts in the digital age!

    Thanks for the speedy answer to a newb! So far the wife and I are LOVING our iPODs, and due to the quality of the nano Gen4 (they are SOLID) are considering our first MAC purchase (heck I have wanted to go MAC since Windows Me )
    Just so I understand, if I copied the iTunes my wife purchased onto a thumb drive, then put the drive in my PC and opened itunes and did Add to Library, I could then select that drive and import them in? And I could then sync those iTunes to my iPod?
    Thanks again!!

    Hello Zach,
    There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Have a look at the article linked below. Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Method two is to set your preferences so each iPod is updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look anyway and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer

  • Help wanted - step by step process on how to use two ipods on one computer

    I'm just in the process of getting an ipod (waiting on delivery!) and want to know how it is possible to have two ipods using the same computer but synchronizing differently. I don't want to risk losing my partners music (he'll be very upset!) and I don't want to end up with his music on my ipod. I'd appreciate it if someone could give me a step by step guide or tell me where the best place to look for the answer is. Is it possible somehow to have two different libraries on one computer? Is that how it works?

  • How do  connect two iPods at once.

    Hello, I have two iPods that I connect to one computer (1 a 5th gen ipod, and 1 a 4th gen ipod).
    I can only ever connect one of the two iPod's. When ever I try and connect a 2nd iPod, iTunes disconnects the 1st iPod, and only shows the 2nd iPod, and this then gives a windows error on the 1st iPod.
    Has anyone ever been able to connect two iPods at once in itunes for Windows?

    i have the same problem. With one ipod and another ipod nano, the itunes doesnt works, and need to restart it.
