How to use multiple iPods in iTunes??

Had existing iPod touch and bought a second one, need to know how to setup in iTunes and have different libraries if possible

Hello hog head,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
You can create a second library by holding down the Shift key upon opening iTunes. From there, choose to create a new library. For more and information regarding using this method and others for managing multiple iPods with one computer, see this Apple support document.

How to use multiple ipods with one computer

My 2 kids have an ipod touch each. How do I create their own files so that they do not have to have eachothers choices and games on eachothers device? As well, we have 2 iphones that are connected as well.

Yo should read the manual.
Open itunes, connect device, select what you want to sync, sync, disconnect device
Connect other device, select what you want to sync, sync, disconnect device
Connect other device, select what you want to sync, sync, disconnect device
Connect other device, select what you want to sync, sync, disconnect device

Using multiple ipods on itunes...

Currently, my husband and I both have classic iPods and iPhones. We each have our own iTunes accounts on our laptops and run them separately. We have a very large CD collection which we have been backing up on an external hard drive. What would be the best way for us to both be able to use the same external hard drive but also have our own iTunes accounts? We have different tastes in music so there are some CDs that I do not want on my iPod, and vice versa. Any suggestions will be very appreciated! Thanks!

There are a couple of recommended methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Method one is to have individual Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. Each iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists.
Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or all iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look at this article and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
Another option when using a single library is to set the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod
Choosing the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" (called Sync Music - Selected playlists in iTunes 7) allows you to create a playlist specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPods. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod ( for example, around 3700MB for a 4GB or 1800MB for a 2GB Mini or Nano). You can read more about playlists at these links:

Can someone tell me how to use 2 ipods on one computer

well when anyone can ill be waiting for the answer i want to know cuz since im buying the ipod video i want to see if i can use the same computer that im uploading stuff to my ipod mini

There is no limit to how many iPods can run on a single PC. Or how many PCs a single iPod can connect to. Either by Apple design or by any legal issues.

Multiple iPods, same iTunes

I have itunes on my PC. I have an iPod, and my son does as well. He doesn't have a computer so I have to put music on his iPod using my iTunes. There is some stuff in my iTunes that I don't want on his iPod (explicit lyrics, etc.) how do I synch up his iPod but only have it transfer songs I select?

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?

Method two as Chris has already described above is to set your preferences so each iPod is updated with only certain playlists within one library.

I connected another iPod to my computer but can only access my original Music Library. Is there a way to edit the Music Library on the additional iPod?

Are you asking if you can extract what's on the iPod into your music library? Please expand on your question.
