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.

    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.

    Unless you have DRM still haunting your tunes ... Then you can only use those songs on 5 devices. Otherwise, connect as many as you like (as stated above).
    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 ipads can i sync to one iMac?

    I am a teacher and our ESL team is considering getting 4-5 iPads for our students and we are wondering how many iPads can we sync to one iMac?  I thought it could be potentially much easlier to sync all 5 iPads to one iMac and use this one iMac and its iTunes as our sync station since I am planning on having our team all use pretty much all the same apps with our students...is this possible?

    Hi mstaum,
    Yes, they can all sync to the same iTunes library. The key is the AppleID that you will be using. Are you planning on using the same AppleID and iCloud account for all users? If so, then you will want to be sure to set up the Restrictions on each iPad to require a Password for purchases immediately, so you can prevent the students from purchasing other apps on the credit card you are using for the iTunes account....
    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,

  • How many device can one sync with iPhone? I own a Mac Pro and an iMac desktop. Can I sync with both machines?

    How Many devices can I sync with my iPhone?  I own a Mac PRO and an iMAC.  Depends on where I am, I will plug my iPhone to either of the machines. I haven't sync with either machine yet.

    Please explain how one would accomplish that feat.
    There's not much to explain. When a device is connected, you see the row of different categories across the top: Summary, Info, Apps, Tones, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Books, and Photos. For example, it is perfectly safe to sync one iOS device to the Music category on Computer A and no other computer, and the same device to Photos on Computer B and no other computer.
    You might be confusing what I'm saying with one iOS device enabling sync to the Music library on multiple computers. That is a huge no-no and will result in the disaster being suggested. But I am not talking about that, I'm talking about the opposite arrangement. What I am describing preserves category exclusivity. It turns out that exclusivity at the category level, not the computer level, is what really matters.
    As long as a device is synced to a given category on only one computer, it doesn't matter which computer it is or whether that computer is different than the ones synced to on other categories. The instant a given category is enabled for syncing on more than on computer, that is where the trouble starts.

    Trying to do so is asking for trouble. Don't do it. Move the content you need to one machine and sync only with that machine. If you don't, you'll be back here asking how to fix the mess and recover all the stuff you lost...
    I will agree that it is something you should only do mindfully. But if you do make sure each category is syncing to only one device, there will be no data loss and no mess.

  • 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.
