An account means an iTunes Store account which is an online service. Do you mean that, or do you mean a library on a computer?
iOS devices can only be synced to one iTunes library at a time. You can sync that iPod to your account but it will wipe everything currently on it.
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod - http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201253 - detailed example: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18860187#18860187
If you use manual syncing, you can sync items from more than one iTunes library to your iPod. (You can sync iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad with only one iTunes library.) When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12113 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202
I could post another 2 pages of stuff trying to cover every possible scenario. It would help if you let us know exactly what you want to do. Are you trying to sync just a few songs (like giving them to a friend which is something iTunes is deliberately set up not to do)?

I'm trying to set birthday reminders in iCal based on the birthday field in Contacts. But in order to create separate birthday entries for individuals in the same family, you have to set up a separate card for each person. Anyway around that?
Thank you to johnbeardy, Anthony.Ralph and Rob for your replies. The OP (I guess that's me, Maps Man) has been happy with CS since CS2. I have upgraded etc and used it successfully. Unfortunately, I have recently up graded my camera as well but CS5 would not read the new RAW files. My natural inclination was to look at a CS upgrade but Adobe effectively priced me out. It obviously is not interested in amateur hobbyists anymore perhaps because they don't produce enough cash for Adobe. Even the new "Cheap" offer they are offering is still very pricey as well as being ongoing for life. I looked at a variety of alternatives including Elements, Lightroom and DxO Pro 8. In the meantime I used a combination of Nikon's ViewNX2 to judge my uploads off camera then Adobe DNG Converter to change them to DNG and back to CS5 for the fun bit. Rightly or wrongly, I decided that Lightroom was the least objectionable both for cost and user friendliness. And I do like the results I get using it. I can now go back to coming straight out of camera, do a substantial amount of edit work and go directly to CS5 for final touches such as size and frame (perhaps Lightroom does that also but I have not yet found how! Time will tell.) It is just that I find the first part so annoying. I do not mind organisations giving us suggestions (e.g. Catalogues) I just find it a nuisance that I cannot say "Thanks, but no thanks it is too complicated for what I want." As for using it "properly" it is debatable whether Adobe's engineers have done it "properly" if they don't give that choice. After all, CS5 etc does not need catalogues to work well so why should Lightroom's catalogues be "proper?"
Obviously I will be sticking with Lightroom and I will try to find my way round the problem. I had hoped that there may have been some way to customize it for my needs but there does not seem to be.
Thank you again for your comments. -
My touch screen isnt working. There is definitly something wrong thats out of my power. Its a ipod 3g 8gb. How much will it cost to get it fix at a local itunes store. i really need to know
First if your iPod is 8gb it is not a 3g. It's probably a 2g.
Apple will replace your iPod for $99. This is a complete replacement not a repair. This won't be done at an Apple store.
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipod
There are third party repair shops that might be able to do a repair. Google search for them. -
can I create a separate icloud account for my husband but still use the same itunes account? I want our contacts, photos and storage capacity to be separate but be able to share music and apps we purchase.
Welcome to the Apple community Pammy.
Yes, that's exactly what I'd suggest for the vast majority of users. -
iTunes will not show my purchases before October 18, when I had a different username. How do I get the older purchases (more than 5,000) listed when my password is rejected and it won't issue a new one for that username?
Wow that was really quick, thank you so much. Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it. I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names. isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

I've done all of these recommended steps. My problem is that I have a new laptop that I am trying to sync my iPhone (and iPad for that matter) via Wi-Fi but both devices are looking for the old laptop to sync. My iTunes is version 11.0..3.42, iPhone is 6.1.4, and iPad 6.1.3. Any suggestions?
All I had to do was complain. I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store. I have no idea why.

I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion. I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air. iTunes Help says File >Library >Export playlist and choose XML, or to save a copy of all your playlists, File > Library > Export Library, "the Exported info is saved in XML format." Then it says, "to import an iTunes playlist, File > Library > Import Playlist". Now I am assuming I do that import part on the Air, but when I try it doesn't recognize anything that can be imported - what am I missing??? Aside from a clue...
Thanks, Jim, for taking the time, but the reply is unfortunately vague in the exact area of my confusion! "you need to copy that file to your new computer..." Well, the Import/Export instructions make it seem as if the two computers should be able to communicate this file thru wifi, but that's the linkage I can't seem tocreate with Import/Export. Should I instead email a copy to myself (thats what applecare suggested)? Copy it to and from a thumb drive? But then place the file where? And the article was helpful, but should I be trying to move the Library file or the Library.xml file (as iTunes Help suggests)? Sorry to be so clueless about it...I suppose I buy Apple in the hopes of not having to think about this stuff, which approach seems not to be serving me well. Thanks again for your time!

NelsonThis is done through iTunes on a computer. You plug it in and under the Summary tab, you can chose what type of video quality you prefer.
You'll choose "Prefer Standard Definition Videos" from the bottom half of the Summary page -
Can someone provide direction on sharing an Apple ID for Itunes, but creating a separate Apple ID for Icloud?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
I'm not sure what there is to tell. Just use the Apple ID you wish to share to log into the iTunes store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) and the seperate Apple ID's you want to use for iCloud (Settings > iCloud) -

HT4890 how do i view photos from icloud on my PC, there is no icon for that purpose
how do i view photos from icloud on my PC, there is no icon for that purpose
If you have Outlook 2007 or higher on your PC, you can print your iCloud calendar from within Outlook. If you don't, and are accessing it on icloud.com, about all you can do is take a screenshot using your print screen key and print the image.

Is there a way I can upgrade my Lightroom 3.6 to 4.1 and pay just for that? Or I must upgrade to 5 and pay for that. Thanks.

No, you can upgrade to the latest version of Lightroom from any version I think - certainly you can from LR3. -
Not sure if this means I created a separate iCloud account. Please help.
When I first upgraded my iPad to iOS5 I turned on icloud but little else. I assume this means that the iCloud account was created under the primary Apple ID. My wife received a new iPad 2 for your b'day and I set her up with my primary Apple ID for purchases but with her own iCloud id. My research indicates that for our needs - one Apple ID for purchases and separate iCloud IDs would be the way to go. Yesterday I attempted to turn on syncing for Notes and it was indicated on my iPad that I needed an @me e-mail to do this and so I requested one and got it. When I did so I was never asked to setup a password nor had I been asked the questions I was asked when setting up my wife's. So now - did I create a separate iCloud account when obtaining the @me address or do I have to do something else? I'd like to attach my syncing to a separate iCloud account as well rather than the master Apple account (thinking this is what I should do).
Thank you.anyone?
