  • Can i use one ipod on two computers?

    Can anyone help me please?
    My son has ipod shuffle and has a separate itunes account, but before he got an ipad for his birthday, we set up itunes on my home computer, using my itunes account.
    His account has lots of credit whereas mine now doesn't as we have to use my account to purchase his music!
    We need to know if it's possible for him to purchase music from his itunes account either directly from his ipad or from my computer using his itunes a/c and ipod. A friend told him that he can't use his ipod on another account as it would wipe out his songs. Is this correct?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help.

    I think you need to manually update on at least the computer that has the smaller music selection.
    it may be best to turn off automatic updates on both machines and manually add and delete songs.
    or you could network both computers to share one music library

  • How can i use my iPod on two different computers?

    I recently bought a new laptop and i plugged in my ipod shuffle but i cant add any new music to it because it was originally set up on my old laptop. Unlike other ipods, when i plug it back into the old laptop, there is no box to check like "Manually manage" or whatver. Is there any way for me to set up my ipod on my new laptop without restoring it to its original settings and losing all the other music?

    If there is no Manually manage music setting, it must be a 1st or 2nd shuffle, not a 3rd or (current) 4th gen shuffle.  The older shuffles act like simple playlists.  You can only associate that shuffle with ONE iTunes library at a time (just as a regular playlist in iTunes belongs only to one iTunes library).
    So, the answer is no.  However, you can put the songs on the shuffle currently into the new computer's iTunes library, then sync the shuffle to that library.
    For songs that you purchased from the iTunes Store, you can re-download them on the iTunes Store Purchased screen.  You can also use iTunes to transfer songs you purchased from iPod to computer. 
    For other songs, you cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer.  But there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files are on your new computer, add them to the iTunes library by dragging the them (or the folder containing the song files) to the iTunes window.  After confirming everything is there, you can sync the shuffle to the new computer's iTunes library.

  • Can I use my iPod on two machines???

    I have an iPod that I have had for a long time... and I work on an iBook G4 at home, and have always used them together (both songs and as a storage device) and have never had any problems. I recently got a new job where I work on a PC (I know, I hate it...) and I would like to be able to get my songs off my iPod onto my PC without messing up anything, and ideally be able to use it on both my mac and pc... but I can't seem to figure out how! Help!!!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Since you have been using your iPod with a Mac, the iPod is in Mac format. Windows PCs will not be able to recognize Mac formatted iPods unless you install special third party software like Xplay or MacDrive on the PC. But I doubt whether you are permitted to do so.
    Another way is to install iTunes and the iPod software updater on your PC, and run the iPod software updater to restore your iPod to Windows format. This will erase the iPod but your Mac should be able to recognize it. Once again you may not be permitted to install software onto your work PC so this may not work for you also.
    Do you really need to do so?

  • How to use ONE IPod on TWO Computers

    I have an Desktop-PC using ITunes 5.0 and an IPod 20 GB. When I connect my IPod with my Laptop, the complete IPod is deleting by the ITunes on the Laptop. How can I use ONE IPod on TWO Computers without deleting the music hole time?!

  • HT1206 Can I use one iPod Touch with 2 accounts and download from both accounts?

    Can I use one iPod Touch with 2 accounts? Can I download onto the one iPod from each account?

    I havent seen anything confirming this but I suspect not. that would require you keep logging in and out of the two accounts since you can only sign in to one at once. In iTunes on your computer if you log into another iTunes account you can't log into another one for 90 days. As I say I've seen nothing confirming this on a mobile device, but I suspect it will be the same.

  • Using a ipod with two different computers...

    I just bought a new laptop and had to download itunes again but when i hook up my ipod it tells me that that ipod is already synced with another computer (my main desktop comp.). Is there a way to use my ipod with two different computers, or can you just use one computer at a time?
    thanks!

    You can use more than one computer, but you'll have to load your iPod MANUALLY if you do, otherwise it will keep erasing things to match the library it's hooked up to.

  • Can we use our ipods with other music services?

    I have not been able to get into the music store for close to 3 weeks now, I have been round and round with these discussion boards and articles and unanswered emails to Apple... I want to leave and go with rhapsody or someone else, BUT can I use my ipod with these sites or does it HAVE to be Itunes??

    a service like itunes is subscripiton based is it not?
    No, the iTunes Music Store is not a subscription. It's a single-time pay; once you buy a track, you own it forever. Subscription sites are ones where you pay every month (or whatever) to listen to the tracks they make available. If you stop paying, you lose access to all the tracks.
    And if you pay for a song, why wouldnt you be able to burn it onto a cd, or do they just let you put it on your pc?
    It depends on the site. Not all allow you to burn audio CDs, even if you pay outright for the track. None of the subscription services allow burning to audio CD.
    And do you mean napster or bearshare sites?
    Napster yes. Bearshare is a Gnutella client which is just another P2P network like Limewire, and similarly consists mostly of pirated tracks, viruses, worms and trojans.
    helful as eveyone has been, none of these solutions has fixed the problem!
    Again, sorry, but as I said, you didn't answer the most important questions. For instance, you said you were using a corporate network, but you never said whether or not you'd addressed the issue with your network administrators, something that Toonz asked you two or three times. If your company's firewall is blocking the addresses and ports needed to connect to the iTMS, there's nothing you nor Apple can do to fix the problem.

  • How can I use an iPad with two itunes accounts?

    How can I use an iPad with two itunes accounts?
    Hi there
    My partner has a works iPad, which has her works Apps on (ones that are specifically made by her company and are NOT available in the App store).
    What I want to be able to do is to ALSO have my itunes account on there so that I can put all the apps I have purchased previously from my iPhone on it.
    This is so I can put on VLC player (thats already in my itunes account) so I can add videos to the iPad.
    How do I do this please?
    I tried it before by connecting it to my mac, but it wiped everything off the iPad completely and also deleted the data settings for using 3G.
    So I want to avoid this happening again the future as it had to be sent back to her head office to be sorted again.
    Any advise please?
    Thanks

    You can't. The iPad is desgined to be a 'one user' device and only really works with one apple ID at a time.
    The only way would be if she, at work and with her work apple id, downloaded your apps (repurchasing them of course).
    It's not meant to be a multiple user/multiple ID device.

  • Can I use iCloud to sync two devices with different apples Ids?

    Can I use iCloud to sync two devices with different apple ID's

    What do you mean by "apple ID"?  There's an ID you can use at the iTunes store to buy songs, apps, etc.  there's an ID you can use for your iCloud account - the two can be different or the same. So which service are you referring to when you talk about an apple ID?

    The transfer of purchased content to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    iGadget Windows Only
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions

    If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.
