I have an ipod nano and I want to change the apple id on it. Can I do that if so how?

When I was younger I got an iPod Nano, I didn't have an apple id so my cousin installed her apple id on my ipod. Now I have an ipod touch so I have another apple id that I want to use on my old iPod nano. Can I change my apple id on my nano so that I can add more music on it?

Your iPods aren't tied to Apple IDs, but iTunes libraries.
Are you trying to sync the Nano to a new PC or Mac and iTunes library? If so, your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC or Mac as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC or Mac first.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Well, I have an old ipod Nano, and I wanted to transfer the music to my new computer. The library isn't synced up, so is there a way to do it?

I have an old Ipod nano...3rd gen, and I have alot of songs that are on my ipod, not in my library, and I was wondering if there was a way to get those songs on my computer without them being erased. Trying to get them on my iPod touch,

I am giving my old macbook pro to my mother as a present, and i want to change the itunes account to hers, with none of my music there. how can i do this?

how can i change accounts to make it like completely empty for her?

Follow these instructions step by step to prepare a Mac for sale:
Step One - Back up your data:
       A. If you have any Virtual PCs shut them down. They cannot be in their "fast saved" state. They must be shut down from inside Windows.
       B. Clone to an external drive using using Carbon Copy Cloner.
          1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
          2. Select the Source volume from the Select a source drop down menu on the left side.
          3. Select the Destination volume from the Select a destination drop down menu on the right
              side.
          4. Click on the Clone button. If you are prompted about creating a clone of the Recovery HD be
              sure to opt for that.
               Destination means a freshly erased external backup drive. Source means the internal
               startup drive.
Step Two - Prepare the machine for the new buyer:
          1. De-authorize the computer in iTunes! De-authorize both iTunes and Audible accounts.
          2, Remove any Open Firmware passwords or Firmware passwords.
          3. Turn the brightness full up and volume nearly so.
          4. Turn off File Vault, if enabled.
          5. Disable iCloud, if enabled: See What to do with iCloud before selling your computer.
Step Three - Install a fresh OS:
     A. Snow Leopard and earlier versions of OS X
          1. Insert the original OS X install CD/DVD that came with your computer.
          2. Restart the computer while holding down the C key to boot from the CD/DVD.
          3. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu; repartition and reformat the internal hard drive.
              Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
          4. Install OS X.
          5. Upon completion DO NOT restart the computer.
          6. Shutdown the computer.
     B. Lion and Mountain Lion (if pre-installed on the computer at purchase*)
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because
                   it is three times faster than wireless.
          1. Restart the computer while holding down the COMMAND and R keys until the Mac OS X
              Utilities window appears.
          2. Select Disk Utility from the Mac OS X Utilities window and click on the Continue button.
          3. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click
              on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
          4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
              and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
          5. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
          6. Quit DU and return to the Mac OS X Utilities window.
          7. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
          8. Upon completion shutdown the computer.
*If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store then you cannot transfer your license to another party. In the case of the latter you should install the original version of OS X that came with your computer. You need to repartition the hard drive as well as reformat it; this will assure that the Recovery HD partition is removed. See Step Three above. You may verify these requirements by reviewing your OS X Software License.

I have a 17" Mac Book Pro and a 13" Mac Book Pro...both use the same Apple ID. My wife now wants to change the Apple ID on the 13" to her Apple ID. How do I do this and not loose the information on that computer?

Hello Teddy53149 and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
Follow this procedure:
Change your OS X account name and home directory name - Apple Support
As they recommend and as always when you're messing with administrator accounts back everything up first.

I have an iPod Nano and I have a new computer. I want to sync my iPod with my new computer. It tells me all of my current music will be erased from my iPod. How do I prevent that from happening?

i have an ipod nano and i am giving a friend an ipod shuffle as a gift. i want to put selective tunes on the ipod shuffle from the 2000 songs i have on my ipod nano list. how do i accomplish that?

Syncing is from iTunes library to iPod. You cannot directly transfer songs from one iPod to another iPod.
Also, since your friend does not own those song, you are describing a form of music piracy. That topic is not appropriate for a discussion forum that Apple operates and maintains.

What do you mean it isn't' compatible? What isn't compatible?
There is no limit to the number of iPods you can sync to one computer, iTunes library, or iTunes account. Simply connect each separate iPod/iPhone to your computer and configure each to sync whatever content you wish to.

I have an ipod video and I want to get a shuffle too on same pc....

I have an ipod video, and i want to get an ipod shuffle, but do not know if that will cause some type of confusion with itunes. I tried hooking up my girlfriend's ipod to my laptop and I couldn't drag any songs to her ipod. Will I have this same issue with the shuffle?

- Do you have to right boxes checked in the Tones pane of iTunes for the iPod to get them synced to the iPod:
- Were the tones purchased with the same account as all the other media on the iPod?

I have a ipod nano, and I bought a Bose portable sound system, when I put my ipod in the unit and play my songs in shuffle mode, it plays the same song over and over, how do I get it to play in shuffle mode?

I have a ipod nano, and I purchased a Bose portable sound system to play my ipod on
but it will not shuffle the music, it will play the same song over and over, until I hit the
next song on the remote or do it manually. Does anybody have a solution?????

Sounds like the repeat setting has been enabled. See your iPod's User Guide for information on how to turn it off.

I have an ipod nano and use one click digital to download books from my library. My nano says I have 2449 songs which is 65 books. I have deleted all my playlists after I listen to the audiobook.

I have an ipod nano and use one click digital to download books from my library. My nano says I have 2449 songs which is about 65 books. I have deleted all my playlists after I listen to the audiobook. Now I get a message saying I don't have enough room on my nano to transfer new books to it. My nano is 16 GB and my operating system is Windows 7.

iTunes and Apple's devices work as an ecosystem. iTunes is designed to sync with Apple's products, not anyone else's. You'll need your songs in a format compatable with the Samsung phone and to use the software transfer program supplied/recommended. It is essentially not an Apple/iTunes problem. You may have better luck finding the information you need on Samsung's forums.

See:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
Basically you will have to transfer its contents to the new computer and then restore the iPod and then resync. An iPod can only sync to one iTunes library.
BTW you posted in the iPod touch forum.
