Installing a new iPod on a computer with another iPod already authorized

I already have one iPod authorized for this computer. My wife has a new ipod that is not getting recognized. Should I deauthize the computer to get her ipod recognized? Thanks!

No that shouldn't make a difference. Read this info from Apple. Using multiple iPods on one computer. I normally use four different iPods off my computer and only had to authorize the computer itself once.

  • How can I restore the music that was on my iPod to my computer or another iPod?

    My iPod classic has failed with an HDD error. I've tried recover mode and everything, it's goosed. Half my music was only on the iPod, a collection over the years from my various computers, it was backed up using itunes however. How can i restore the music that was on my iPod to my computer or another iPod? (dont have another classic, only shuffle and iphone) I'm guessing itunes holds some kind of virtual image of the ipod classic somewhere. THanks in advance for any info, google didn't produce anything I could use.

    That is stealing. Your friend does not have the right to give her music away. Delete them and purchase your own music.

  • How do I sync in my new itouch to a computer with existing ipod account?

    Hello!
    How do I set up my new itouch to the same computer (PC) that has an existing ipod account. I would like to set it up as a different account for the reason this itouch is for my son. I would like to use 1 computer for 2 ipod & itouch systems. Is there "step by step" information that anyone could guide me to? I've looked a little, but haven't found anything useful. I've tried to do this myself, but when I hook up the new itouch, it takes me to "my" ipod account vs. taking me to "set up a new product".
    Thanks!

  • New iPod to new computer with another iPod already in iTunes

    My iPod Video was originally loaded to my laptop and I backed up everything to an external hard drive. That iPod was stolen. I just purchased an iTouch and want to keep the iTunes on my desktop computer and the laptop. However, my husband also has an iPod in the desktop's iTunes. I created a Playlist Folder with my name to distinguish between the music settings. How do I move the music from my hard drive to my new playlist without erasing my husband's music?

    I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Help, New itunes on different computer with old ipod.

    Hi
    My old computers hard drive crashed completely ,and all my music was from CD's that i have sold now. So is there anyway off getting my music off my ipod touch 2gn on to my new netbook and without my ipod being wiped clean?

    Where is your backup copy of all important info/music/pics/docs? This is basic.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, then you could try ( at your risk) a 3rd party program to get the music off of the ipod ( Apple does not support this).

  • Transferring itunes to another computer with another account already on it

    Hi all,
    So I know this has probably been asked hundreds of times but I thought that I wanted to get a personal response to my situation.
    Basically, the current setup for my wife and I is that we both have separate windows laptops, with itunes and separate itunes accounts on. However, we are getting rid of my wifes laptop and she is getting an iPad for what little 'work' she uses the laptop for, and then we have always got the one laptop anyway. However, we waqnt to keep separate Itunes accounts as her taste in music is not like mine, and I don't want namby pamby pop music on my account at the risk of accidently loading it on my iPod!
    Therefore, what I want to know is:
    1) How can I remove all of the music from the wifes laptop and transfer it on to my laptop, but wanting to keep it in a separate iTunes Music folder,
    and
    2) Is it possible to have one iTunes on the computer but have different accounts on it?
    I am hoping that it is possible for this so that if I open up itunes and access my account it ony shows my music, and visa versa.
    Many thanks in advance for any responses and help that you can give,
    Regards,
    Richard

  • I Had A Computer with my ipod software on it....

    I had a computer with my ipod 5th Gen software (music, videos, podcasts, playlists, etc)and got a new computer (but still have the old one still working) and tried to install iTunes on my new one, and it installed. Then I plugged in my ipod into the USB chord. It has a section for my ipod underneath the Music Store section like it always does. I'm wondering how can I get song from my ipod's section into the iTunes Library? Thank you!

    Just how did you " I downloaded the songs"?
    Did yo do this:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • HT1727 All of the music on my ipod touch was synced with another computer that I no longer have. Will I be able to transfer songs and videos that I didn't purchase?

    My ipod touch was synced with another computer that I no longer have. Will I be able to tranfer my music and videos to my new conputer without losing the items I didn't purchase from itunes.

    Move or copy all the media from the old computer or the backup of the old computer to the new computer.
    iDevices are not backup devices.

  • I cant connect to my computer with my ipod and itunes wont connect to it either. also i have forgotten my ipod passcode

    i cant connect to my computer with my ipod and itunes wont connect to it either. also i have forgotten my ipod passcode

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

  • I had to format my HD, now iTunes says my iPOD is sync'd with another computer.  How do I get my iPOD's music back in to the library and sync it with the computer again?

    I had to format my computers hard drive.  Now the iTunes thinks my iPOD is sync'd with another computer.  How do I get re-sync the iPOD and computer and get my songs on the iPOD back in to the iTunes library.  Thanks!

    Can't tell you exactly, as it can be used to facilitate piracy and Apple blocks this sort of thing from occuring (except for itunes purchased music)
    But you can find out what your looking for at iLounge, i'd suggest that method for "mixed" music from different sources, that way you get it all back.
    Next time, hit the iTunes menu and backup your library to disks, only takes a few minutes and a few DVD-R's.
    Good Luck

  • How can I install my Adobe Photoshop on my computer with Windows XP Service Pack 3?

    How can I install my Adobe Photoshop on my computer with Windows XP Service Pack 3?  Seriously frustrated.  I put the disc in the drive and nothing happens.  I open up add/remove programs and I get an error message stating it can't find a disc.  I chatted with Adobe support, and they decided to send me here. Probably because they knew I wanted to spend all day online trying to figure this out. 

    Download from Adobe's website, install then enter your serial number.

    The hard drive is not formatted, and it must be formatted in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" in order to install OS X.
    Close the OS X installer, and go to Utilities menu (on the menu bar) > Disk Utility. Then, format your hard drive in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" as Format > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html Finally, close Disk Utility and install OS X
