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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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 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.

  • HT5621 Hi, we have three iPhones and iPods which are currently linked to one apple ID.  I have now set up an apple id for each phone/iPod.  How do I go about re-directing the two accounts to the relevant one that has now been set up please?

    Hi, we have three iPhones and iPods which are currently linked to one apple ID.  I have now set up an apple id for each phone/iPod.  How do I go about re-directing the two accounts to the relevant one that has now been set up please?  I could do with a step by step guide to follow as am worried about loosing aps, music, photo's etc which are on the individual phones.
    Thanks

    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.

    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.

  • HT1386 How do I create one Apple ID and iTunes user name and password for all of my Apple products: iPad, iPhone, and iPod plus iTunes on my PC?

    How do I create one Apple ID and iTunes user name and password for all of my Apple products: iPad, iPhone, and iPod plus iTunes on my PC?

    Yes, I do have multiple devices and it appeared to me that every time I tried to sync or log onto iTunes, the password was incorrect.  Consequently, I was and am constantly changing it.  Wouldn't it be nice if Apple would simply say that you only need one Apple ID and one password regardless of the number of Apple devices you intend to sync via iTunes. 
    Barring the above, how about a way to merge all of the Apple IDs and passwords into one.

  • TS3276 An email sent from my iMac has a button linked to a clip hosted on Vimeo. When received, the link functions on iMac and iPad, but opens a window of app icons on iPhone and iPod touch. Any ideas what's wrong?

    For anyone else reading this thread, it is worth knowing that sometimes an email is, or can be, corrupted thereby jamming the works. The solution above is good, but I just wanted to suggest another one.
    If the problem arises, go to an online mail access service, such as Mail2Web.com and login to you mail account there and delete the offending message.
    Problem solved.
    And George, as this is all entirely voluntary, whinging about no takers may not endear people to you. Besides which, a few minutes of searching on Google would have found you a number of solutions.

  • 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.

    Copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the music folder) from your old computer to your new one, using one of the methods outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.

  • Can I use Iphone and Ipod at the same time?

    I use an Ipod now. If I bought an iPhone and sync it with my iTunes... will it no longer allow syncs with my regular iPod? Or can I have both my purchases on both devices?

    ok so it I can still use both, like movies (including rentals) on my video ipod, and my music on my iPhone. (storage is the reason for the two devices.)?
    Yes, but the Fifth Generation iPod cannot play rented movies; it only works with purchased ones out of those from the iTunes Store. The iPod classic, third generation iPod nano, iPhone, and iPod touch will play rented movies.

  • HI!  I have a new macbook air but having difficulty connecting to a router if I am about 10 meters away.  My iMac, iPad, iPhones and iPods can connect easily.  Is there something that I need to configure?  I have no issues if I am close to it.  Thank you!

    Hello, If you are dealing with one of the really thin iMac's that have no superdrive, then the superdrive icon should not appear on the desktop when you plug it in, but when you put in a disk (CD, DVD, etc.) that should appear. If you go into disk utility, and look at superdrive, that should be clickable and not grayed out when you have it plugged in. If this does not show up in disk utility, go to Apple, and ask to speak to their supervisor, speaking to a customer service agent is like talking to a potato, nothing gets done. Good Luck!
