  • Can 2 Ipods have the exact same Itunes files?

    I have 2 30GB Video Ipods (5th gen I think). I would like to sync them to the same Itunes account on the same computer (including all the same folders). I have read the tutorial, but it sounds like they assume each Ipod would have different folders. Can 2 Ipods contain the exact same files? (I'm asking because my teenage son wants the same music I have.) Thank you.

    You can sync as many ipods you like to the same library/computer.
    You can select whatever you like ( including the same items) to sync to each device.
    Plug the ipod in, select what you want to sync and sync.

  • Can I get a virus on my iPod touch?

    my family has a Mac and my sister has an apple laptop and we just found out that we have a virus some how coming through to our wifi box. no one knows that I am using the wifi on my iPod touch but I wanted to know if I can get a virus on my iPod/ if it came from my iPod? and how can I prevent and if so get rid of it? please help ASAP!

    I have not heard of an virus that can infect an unjailbroken iPod. However, if you get an infected item on your iPod and transfer that to your computer that may infect the computer if opens or something similar on the computer.

  • How can I create a playlist that syncs with my ipod touch 5 that plays both podcasts and music? Before updating to itunes 11 I was able to do it and now it seems that the power is gone. (I do not have the podcast app on my ipod touch 5)

    When apple first introduced the podcast app for my iphone I discovered that installing it took away the option to have a playlist (smart playlist or regular) that mixed music, audiobooks and podcasts. I therefore quickly uninstalled it and was happy to have my iOS devices happily mixing music and podcasts.
    With the push to itunes 11.1 and iOS 7 on my ipod Touch and ipad mini I no longer have mixed playlists. I do see (according to itunes) that the podcasts are copied to my devices but there doesn't seem any way to play them. Nor do my mixed format playlists contain them.
    When combined with the change to the podcast tab in itunes that shows all available by default and doesn't seem to offer any way to Turn it OFF so I can easily see what new unlistened to podcasts exist it seems that the way I got used to using my itunes since my ipod nano first generation has been eliminated. I haven't read why so if someone could point me to their logic on how come I would want the changes they keep trying to force on me I would at least understand their motives.
    If no one has a better fix I have discovered that I can declare the podcasts to be audiobooks and get them to play that way. One downside to that approach is that it doesn't clear them out of the podcast folder thanks to the change to the iCloud friendly format or whatever they were hoping for.

    And what is the wording of the error message?

  • I have over 5000 songs on my ipod and can not see a way of keeping them if I want to set up a new itunes libary. I want to add my tunes from my ipod to a new itunes libary without it saying it will wipe what I already have. please help

    Hi everyone.
    I had an itunes account for my classic and a few months ago wanted to add my daughters ipod to it. it told me when i pluged hers in 2 ipods could not use the same account and asked me if i wanted it to link her ipod and delete the current libary. like a fool i said yes. now i have a party comming up and cant plug my classic in without it saying if i sync it will wipe my 6000 songs and leave me with the new blank itunes that i have just set up.
    what i want to do is add my 6000 songs to a new apple id libary/itunes without it wiping all my songs. does anyone know how to do this.
    help thanks

    Since all of your music came from your computer in the first place, then it should still be there and should be included in your backup copy of your computer.
    " it told me when i pluged hers in 2 ipods could not use the same account"
    This is not true.  You have misunderstood.
    You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like to one one library.

  • My iPod was made on Windows, now I have a Mac and can't access the music on the iPod to carry over to new iTunes. What to do?

    I am unsure whether it can be reformatted? On the summary when I plug in the ipod (pretty sure it's a nano 4th gen) it shows the format as Windows. However now I have a Mac, I can't access the music library on the ipod, and I'm not game to try 'export' as I don't know what it will do, and I won't sync as I will lose that music library. I am thinking of making an appointment to see the Apple staff at the shop but I'm not sure if I will need to get a new ipod in the end??

  • How can i get my daughter's imessage on my iphone and still have it show up on her ipod as an unread message

    I have my iPhone setup so I can also get all of the iMessages that my daughter sends and receives on her iPod. The problem is that if I read the message first then it doesn't show up as a new message on her iPod and therefore she doesn't know that a message was sent. Is there a way that I can get my daughter's iMessage on my iPhone and still have it show up on her iPod as an unread message? Any ideas from anyone will help. I can't figure it out

    HI,
    I am not sure that I can really add anything to to this.
    Apple used the phrase "sync" when saying what Messages on the Mac would do in regards to showing iMessages that were going to iOS devices.
    It took to OS X 10.8.2 and iOS 6 to get as close as we have right now.
    At best it looks like "Sync" means "Display on all Devices" and not much more.
    The Mac version implies it will do more as there is a setting to notify people by return that you have read the iMessage.
    The iOS devices have a similar "Send Receipts" item in the settings.
    However actually reading an iMessage on one device seems to bear very little resemblance to anything that happens or can be seen on another device.
    It seems for most people reading an  iMessage on one device shows nothing at all on another device (the presumption being it arrives all places at the same time)
    Your post is the closest I have seen to someone suggesting that it can be different on different devices.
    You also seem to be implying that there is almost a time difference it the time your iPhone gets the iMessage and the time the iPod touch gets it.
    I have certainly seen the "silent arrival" of iMessages on both my iPhone (when my computer and Messages is On) and on the iPhone if the conversation started on the Mac.
    The Mac end will show both "Sent" and Received sides as it "Syncs" the conversation and beeps the alert sound for the Received part and the iPhone will remain silent.
    Even "talking it through" like this in this post I am not coming to any real conclusions about what to try.
    I am not even sure what to suggest to test for things to look out for.

  • I have two itunes accounts on two different computers, can i merge the accounts so i can then have the same music on both ipod and iphone?

    i have two itunes accounts one for each of my two computers, can i merge them so that i can have the same music on my ipod and iphone,
    it is all so confusing i need help!!!

    You can't currently merge accounts and the content will remain tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it, though you can have more than one account authorised on the same computer's iTunes via Store > Authorise This Computer. As only one account can be actually logged in at a time (Store > Sign In / Sign Out) for purchasing or re-downloading/viewing past purchases, you may want to use just the one account for future purchases.

  • 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?

    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.

  • I have been given a second hand ipod from a friend for my 3 year old but I am unable to sync it to my itunes account. Can anyone help?

    I have been given an old ipod classic from a friend at work for my 3 year old to have to listen to her Disney songs on. I have tried but I can't get it to sync to my iTunes at all. The computer recognises that there is a device there but it won't link up. I have changed cables as I wasn't using an apple one but I managed to find one. I have tried factory resets and still not further forward. Can anyone help me?

    Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
    From what I understand is that the device will show up in iTunes but it will not allow you to synchronize media over to the device even after you reset the device. When you say you reset the device, do you mean you restored the device in iTunes? What error message you are getting when attempting to synchronize media?

  • Can you give me some reasons about why I need to buy an iPod touch 5.Although I have the iPhone ,iPod nano, iPad ,MacBook pro,I think the iPod touch 5 is so attractive that I can't help buying it at once.If I have it,what I can do with it,can you tell me?

    All I can say is that I REALLY like my Touch 4th gen because I have all sorts of capabilities in a small form: e-mail, web browsing, news, weather, books, magazines, etc. etc.  Plus lots and lots of apps out there, including so many free ones.  I use the Cloud a lot so it's great to have everything sync'd to my MacBookPro (e-mail, Evernote, Pocket, etc.)
    It would be easier, though, to do some of this, especially magazines, on the iPad mini, but, again, I love the small size of the Touch. 
    As for the 5th gen instead of the 4th, the fifth has Siri and the 3D feature in maps, which are great.  And I'm sure it's a lot faster in iOS 6 than the 4th gen.  And cool colors! 
    Don't know if this helps . . .

  • HT4914 I have all my music on my ipod touch.  I no longer have the pc that had my music on it.  Can I activate icloud Match with the touch and not connect to my pc?  Otherwise how do I get my music to that pc?

    I have all my music on my ipod touch.  I no longer hav ethe pc that stored my music.  Can I get my music to cloud by activating it with my ipod?  If not how do I get my music back on my pc?

    iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
    The content should have been copied from the old computer to the new computer or at the very least from the backup of the old computer.

  • TS1702 My iPod Touch 4th generation just won't download apps. I have tried everything I can think of. Please help!

    My iPod Touch 4th generation just won't download apps. I have tried everything I can think of. Please help!

    Hi, when you say you have tried everything... I presume you have gone into Settings > Store and logged out and back in with your account details?
    You could try purchasing an app via iTunes to see if its an issue with the device or the account you're using.
    Hope this helps.
