If you have more music on the computer than nano can store...

If you have more music on the computer than nano can store, how does it choose what goes on the iPod? LIke, a normal synching just dumps everything, what happens when the iPod can't hold everything?

Hi Eric,
Your computer will pop up with a message that it failed to update any song to the Nano. You must creat a new playlist and copy the songs there, and make sure the size is not larger than Nano can hold

Can you have an ipad and the computer on the same apple id for facetime?

I want to have the same email for facetime on both devices... will this work.

Welcome to Apple Communities.
You can use the same Apple ID on an iPad and a computer but you cannot have both devices on the network at the same time.
I have a MacBook pro and an iPad and had the same Apple ID for both. When a Facetime call would come in, the iPad would conflict with the MacBook and the call would fail. Likewise, if I tried to place a call, Facetime would fail. If I shut off one of the devices, Facetime worked fine.
What I did to resolve the problem is create two email addresses for my account (one gmail and one yahoo). I asigned the primary one to my iPad and the other to the computer. Since most of my Facetime calls are on the iPad, people usually can reach me on my primary address.
Hope this helps.

HT4914 I have more music in my cloud than on my itunes library.

How can I get what is in the cloud into my library so that I can put it on my new ipod classic? I bought the classic because I needed more music than I could store on my phone. i subscribed to match but cant do that on the classic itself. Wehn i plug it into my laptop to sync all music it only takes the music from the library not the cloud.

Yes. Configure your Shuffle to sync only selected playlists from under its Music tab. This article should be able to assist you with this.

HT4759 Can you have more than one computer linked to the same icloud account?

Can you have more than one computer linked to the same icloud account? If so how do you add a computer?

Yes, of course - that's the whole point, to provide syncing of data such as calendars, contacts and email between computers and iOS devices. Having got iCloud up and running on one computer, simply sign all other devices in at System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud with the same login. (Lion 10.7.2 and iOS5 are the minimum requirements.)

HT2534 can you have more than one itunes account on the same computer?

can you have more than one itunes account on the same computer?

Yes. Either create and use separate Windows user accounts, or launch iTunes with the Shift key held down as desired.

HT1420 Can you have more than one device with a different Apple ID authourized to the same computer

Can you have more than one device with a different Apple ID authourized to the same computer

I think you are using the same Composition Class on both project. On the properties tab, you can change this number (e.g.: EDGE-1637270).

HT1420 I can't deauthorise my daughter's last computer from iTunes because it has crashed. We have three computers in the house but I can't authorise my new MacbookPro for iTunes or homesharing. So I can't even get my music from my old Macbook into my new

I can't deauthorise my daughter's last computer from iTunes because it has crashed. We have three computers in the house but I can't authorise my new MacbookPro for iTunes or homesharing because it says I have 5 computers authorised (I don't). I can't even get my music from the iTunes library on my old Macbook onto my new one, because it won't let me sync my iPhone 5 with my old Macbook, as I can't update the iTunes software. So I have a new MacbookPro and a new iPhone 5 and I can't get any of my music on either of them. I feel singularly depressed.

As you have more than 1 computer authorised then you should be able to log into your account on your computer's iTunes (Store > View My Account) and 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you can then authorise/reauthorise the computers that you still have and need : authorising and deauthorising.

I recently had to completely restore my laptop, so I lost the music on my itunes. It's still on my iphone, but how can I keep the music I already have and continue to add more music from the newly set up itunes again?

I recently had to completely restore my laptop, so I lost the music on my itunes. It's still on my iphone, but how can I keep the music I already have and continue to add more music from the newly set up itunes again? Is there actually a way to do this? I can't help but wonder what the stupid icloud is for if my music is still somewhere in the 'cloud' but it's zero help for restoring music when it's lost on a computer....any help even a site that get's around apple would be great!

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, not good, you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to your computer. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You can also redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

Home pc is under my husband's user id, I have an iPad and iPhone under my apple id. I have more music on my iPad then on pc or iPhone. If I set up synching over wifi for my devices... What do they sync to? Will the songs on iPad be added to phone/pc?

Home Sharing is designed to work on your local network not across the internet/cloud.
Stuff is accessed under the Computers column where your local iTunes library on a local computer would appear.
Home Sharing would share your iTunes content (i.e. stuff stored in itunes on the computer, not in the cloud) with AppleTV or an iPad etc on the SAME network.
AppleTV2 will not be able to see itunes content on the work computer over the internet. It's not designed to. if the work computer was on the home network it would.
iCloud is in it's infancy and is not a mature product - iTunes TV Show purchases appear on AppleTV, but currently music does not unless you are subscribed to iTunes Match. I find this rather odd to be honest, along with the inability to buy music on AppleTV2. Movies purchased in iTunes are not authorised for iCloud viewing currently either.
Maybe it has something to do with iTunes Match 'getting in the way' - i think they assume you'll use that whereas you really want to be able to access Purchased music from the cloud without subscribing to itunes Match which is overkill for some.

Possible to have more music in iPod than on computer?

So, I'm expecting my new iPod (160 GB) to arrive shortly. It dawned on me that my computer only has an 80 GB hard drive. Now, I don't have that much music at the moment, but I got to wondering if there is any way to have more music/movies on the iPod than on my computer, since the iPod is so much bigger?
And, how would I do that?

By setting your iPod to 'Manually manage music and videos', you can add music and videos to your iPod from your computer and delete it off afterwards. By doing this, the media stays on you iPod and doesn't take room in your iTune's library or hard drive.
However, if you need to restore your iPod in the future, you'll need to retrieve that data back onto your iPod as it'll delete everything off your iPod. Be sure to back up all your deleted media and data that you've added on your iPod if you're going to manually manage your music and videos.

We have itunes music on a computer, an ipod nano, and a new ipod touch under two different accounts. How can we combine the music from both accounts to one device?

We have itunes music on a computer, an ipod nano, and a new ipod touch under two different accounts. How can we combine the music from both accounts to one device?

There is no "adding" a device. Simply plug the iDevice into the computer. iTunes should automatically detect the device when it is connected.
iTunes can sync/manage as many iDevices as you want... there is no 1 device limit.

How do you have more than 1 ipod in your family and only 1 computer to be able to each have a separate account?

HOw do you have more than 1 ipod int he family and be able to have your own itunes on 1 computer?

Did you read the support document at the other end of the link? What additional information do you desire?
The Apple support document How to use multiple iPods with one computer (n.b. same link as above!) suggests a number of ways for managing the media content. I use method two (Sync with selected playlists) with a slight twist. Rather than regular playlists I set the grouping field to indicate which users should receive which tracks and create smart playlists based on the content of this field.
e.g.
"Alice's Tracks" is "Grouping contains Alice" + "Kind contains audio"
"Bob's Videos" is "Grouping contains Bob" + "Kind does not contain audio"
Tracks that both Alice & Bob want on their iPods have the grouping set to "Alice/Bob"
etc.
I currently manage our family's five iDevices using this system, each getting a different selection to suit their tastes and the capacity of their device. An advantage of using the grouping field is that it is stored in file tags (for non-wav audio files anyway) so that it is relatively easy to recreate the playlists should the iTunes library get trashed and need rebuilding. Also useful if you move files about manually as playlist membership is preserved when you delete & re-import the tracks.
