IPhone and iPod on one account (issue not answered from archive search)

I have searched previous forum posts for this topic, but I haven't found an appropriate answer to my specific query.
A few weeks ago I bought an iPod nano 8G Gen5 and today I have picked up a 16G 3G iPhone (new). I am new to these products and have heard itunes doing weird things with erasing files etc.
Before I do too much syncing and regret what I do and cause no end of hassles, I just want to get this clarified.
So.... the music I have copied to the computer is synced and stored on my ipod. Can I sync that same music to the iPhone without it affecting the iPod?
Basically, can you sync the same content on itunes to both an ipod and an iphone connected on the same account? (obviously iphone applications can't be synced on iPod, but music and photos can be played and viewed on both of course)
I hope I've explained my issue well enough?
Thanks

Yes. I have multiple iPods on multiple computers all synced to the same account. Enjoy.

  • Question on iCloud accts:  I have my iPhone and iPad on one account, but my Mac is set up on my old mobile me acct.  Can't figure out how to change an iCloud account number on my Mac so I can sync all three.

    Question on iCloud accounts:  I have my iPhone and iPad on one iCloud account, but my Mac is on my old Mobile me account.  Can't figure out how to change my iCloud account on my MacBook Pro so all 3 are synced.

    First, open System Preferences > MobileMe and log out. Then, open  > About this Mac and see Version. If you see 10.5.x or 10.6.x, see > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs If your Mac is compatible, upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and purchase OS X Mountain Lion.
    When you have upgraded, go to System Preferences > iCloud and follow its steps

  • Running iphone and ipod form one itune programme. How

    I have had an Ipod for a number of years 20gb. My son has just passed on to me a 3gb iphone. How do I run both the iphone and Ipod from the same itune's programme. I want to take off a number of songs from the Iphone and download some of my own as he has two many on the Iphone

    That's what we thought too:
    But the iPod (which we have always used only for music) now contains 18.5 GB of audio, 37.3 GB of "Other", according to the capacity reading when we hook up the iPod to iTunes.  It is 0.28 GB over capacity, and we can't complete a sync anymore.
    We're assuming that the "Other" content must be some sort of material from the iPhone, which we started syncing using iTunes last October.  To be honest, we have not been able to figure out what "Other" is:  nothing on the iPod tells us what's used up by that 37 GB, and nothing on iTunes tells us when the iPod is synched.
    Ideas much appreciated

  • IPhone AND iPod on one machine

    Hi! I've searched around, but can't find the answer to this. I already have an 80 gb iPod, and I was going to get an iPhone today. Will I be able to sync my iPhone and keep using my iPod on the same machine (same iTunes account)?
    I have 40gbs of music and stuff, and would prefer to only sync my pictures to my iPhone (and of course contacts, calendar, mail), but ALL my ipod stuff to the ipod...
    Thanks

    the iPhone and iPod appear as separate devices on iTunes.
    You choose what to sync your iPhone with on iTunes (music, pics, podcasts, videos). When you run iPhone on Itunes, it runs completely independent from the iPod.
    Right now, I have both connected to my PB.

  • Iphone and ipod on one mac-pro.

    I ordered my iphone today, it should be here within 10-21 days, I hope.....my question is this. My wife has all of her songs in itunes on our mac-pro, I am planning on using this same computer for my iphone. I don't want all of her music on my iphone, and she will not want my music on her ipod. We have completely different musical tastes. I this going to pose a problem for us? Should I have her move her music onto her laptop or on to the other hard-drive I have on this mac-pro with windows set up for her. I would appreciate any help on this one, I want to be prepared when my iphone gets here.

    You won't have to move any of her music onto a different hard drive or even on to a windows PC. If you go into System Preferences, you can click on accounts and will be able to add a new user in the left pane. This way it's like having two separate Macs, none of your music will mix with hers and vice versa. Hope this helps.

  • IPhone and IPod on one windows machine

    I have the IPhone and now my son has an older IPod. So my question is, can I run both under one ITunes account, he is 9 and I really dont want to have to give him an account.

    Yes you can, iTunes will recognise each iPhone or iPod that you connect as a unique device and they will have each their own individual settings. You can add content to both of them from the same library.

  • Two Palm PDAs and iSync on one account - Synchronization not complete

    I have set up two Palm devices with iSync on one account on my computer. It was my understanding that if I do a HotSync on each device with the Mac, all three devices should have the same information. I am finding that this is partially true. If I add information to a card in my contacts database on any device, that flows through. However, if I remove a card from the computer or either device, it does not flow through to the other devices or computer after I do a HotSync on each device.
    What can be done to keep all devices fully synchronized?
    iMac (20in, Late 2006)   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Changes are pulled from and pushed to various devices in your pool according to a 'plan' maintained by the truth database, and not all changes are necessarily passed around completely in a single session.
    You can read this document to get an idea of how the Sync Services framework operates:
    http://developer.apple.com/macosx/syncservices.html
    If a second and subsequent synchronization does not transfer the record modifications or deletions, you can reset the truth database by launching iSync, opening the Preferences… dialog, and pressing the Reset Sync History button, then following the instructions which appear and synchronizing once again.

  • My music won't download from my past iPhones  and iPods on same account.

    Just got an iPhone 5s and I tried downloading my past music purchases from the store and it says cannot download "song" at this time

    Make sure you are signed in with the Apple ID used to purchase the music in Settings>iTunes & App Store, then download it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.

  • Iphone and ipod not recognized in itunes

    I have been trying to get help here for a week and no luck. I have followed every step in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363?viewlocale=en_US, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125 and others and am still stuck. Both my iphone and ipod (classic) charge, but will not appear in itunes. They both charge and my iphone can be viewed in another computer. I cannot even view anything in this iphone on this computer any longer.
    PLEASE! This is driving me insane here. I have no idea what else to try here.
    Both the ipod and iphone otherwise work normally.

    I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
    It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.

    connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.

    On each of the phones you're gonna use a new Apple ID for iCloud: turn off Contacts, Calendars, etc. for iCloud. You'll be prompted to keep the data or delete it from the phone, then turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account...Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then, setup iCloud using the new Apple ID, turn on iMessage & Facetime.
    This will have no affect on the ID you share for iTunes content, & you can continue to do so.

  • My Ipad 2 external speakers does not work and headphones has popping sound. This all occured at the same time as my Iphone and Ipod headphones only played mono (no, the "mono" option is not on). How can there be audio issue for all these devices?

    My IPad 2 external speaker does not work and the original headphones have popping sound when used. This all occurred at the same time as my IPhone and IPod headphones only plays mono (and no, the "mono" option is not on) with the original headphones, as well as, other headphones tested.  How can there be audio issue for all these devices at the same time?
    As you may have noted from the list of Apple devices I own, I believed in the Apple and the products it was producing; but it is hard to believe from my experience and the other voices within the Apple Community that we are all experiencing the same hardware issues. Especially since I recently, I upgraded to an IPhone 4g (no, my faith in IPhone 5 series is very little) and is experiencing the same audio problem as described above. So now, I am off to the Apple store again to be told that it’s a hardware problem on new IPhone. Really? Apple, what happen to the pride in the product you were producing?

    Everyone does things a little differently. I love to "jam " along with iTunes ( or old Lp's) . Always have. That's where/how I've learned to play .
    I'm sure leonieDF is giving a proper way to jam along on a keyboard with an iTune. He blows my mind all the time with what he knows. Nuff respects to him !
    What I do is make a GB project I call "Jam With". I'll make several new tracks that are blank. Just has a few instruments named in the blank tracks. You can change those per song ...
    Because I'm not concerned about changing the pitch / key.... of the iTune or the tempo ... I can simply play along with it.
    Peace,

  • How can I back up my iPhone and iPod to a new iCloud account without losing any data?

    Hello
    Before Mountain Lion comes out I want to create a new iCloud account because I don't want to use the @me.com email that I created with my current iCloud account. I want to create an entirely new account with a new @me.com email address. I use iCloud to back up my iPhone, iPod and am signed into it on my mac. Basically I want to back up my iPhone and iPod to a new iCloud account and not lose any data. Is there any way to do this?
    Thanks so much for any help.

    Before you connect to a new PC, make sure that autosync is disabled in Edit/Preferences/Devices, otherwise your phone will be wiped during the following sync.
    Then back up manually:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to the new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
    Transfer the purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

  • IPhones and iPods ALL drop wireless at same time-but not iPad??

    In my family, we have mutliple Apple devices online at the same time.
    iPhone 3s
    iPhone 4s
    two iPods
    iPad 2
    I also have two work laptops and a personal laptop, all running Windows 7. Plus, I also have an XBOX 360 on a Linksys wireless gaming router (older one...can't run WPA2 security, only WPA)
    They are connected to internet with Netgear WNR2000 wireless router, running WPA security, up to 54 GB/s (I believe on 2.4 GHz).
    HERE'S MY ISSUE:
    About once every day or two, all of my iPhones and iPods will drop off of the wireless network - at the SAME TIME.  However, every other device in my house is running perfectly smoothly on the network.  Including the iPad 2, which never has any network issues.   The "fix" is, going over to the router and cycling it off and on again.  But that is not a real fix. 
    The dropping is kind of random, sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the evening.  But usually after several hours after a recycle.
    I have tried all kinds of router channels,1 -11, I have tried WEP and both kinds of WPA security (AES and TKIP).  I cannot do WPA2 because of my older Linksys access point.
    The problem started happening when I added security to the router.  But I do not want to have the router without security any longer, so removing it is not an option.
    Does anyone have any idea why all of my iPhones and iPods would drop the wireless network at the exact same time, however, my iPad 2 and every other device in my household NEVER drops?
    I have already tried renaming the network, and that doesn't help, and I have tried moving the channel around - no better.  I am trying reserved IP addressing for my i-devices...but am not optimistic. (I read about trying this somewhere...)
    Please help!  If someone could at least help explain what is common between my iPhones and iPods but not common with the iPad it might help me figure this out.

    @wjosten
    I agree that network interference can cause problems. I have surveyed the other close networks and tried multiple channels, same result.
    But if it were bad channels, I don't know how that would explain why only the same set of iDevices would all be thrown off network at same time (and it's always the same ones),  while my other devices all work fine. 
    My router is only single channel, so everything is on the 2.4ghz band.
