Ipod and iphone on one itunes? is it possible

i have an iphone and my wife an ipod and want to run them both on one itunes with different music, videos, photos. can i do that? and my boss doesnt want me using itunes at work and my wifes ipod has way different music than i like. any help please

No problems here, just connect them both and tell iTunes which songs/playlists to sync. To do this, just click on the device name and on the right you'll have music, videos, podcasts, etc.
Or you can manually manage, meaning just drag and drop it onto the iPod.
Hope this helps.

My wife and I each have iPads ipods and iPhones on one Apple account . Should we create a new account? What happens to our iTunes ,apps and iCloud? Can we share them? Will we lose any info?

MY wife and I share and Apple ID . We both have iPads, iPods, and iphones
all our purchases in iTunes , apps and iCloud are on this . If we create a new ID for one of us do we lose any of the data and purchased material or do we still share?

I would suggest that one of you retain the existing AppleID and use it for the iTunes Store, iCloud, and Messages on their iOS device and/or Mac accounts.
Then, the other one of you can create a new AppleID.
You then have two choices for how to share your existing store purchases:
1) You can try the new "Family Sharing" feature: http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/
2) Or you can simply continue to use the original AppleID as your "iTunes Store" login on all of your devices (yours and your wife's), yet use a different AppleID to login to iCloud and Messages.
Family Sharing is supposed to be the solution to the problem and does indeed have some interesting shared features. However, just using the same iTunes Store login has worked reliable for years.
The important this to realize is that in iOS and Mac OS, the logins for the Apple Store, Messages, and iCloud are all completely separate and can be independently configured. So, you can each use your own AppleID for login to each of those services. Just make sure to both login to the iTunes Store service using the same original AppleID.

I was thinking of buying my wife an ipad mini. I already have an ipad, ipod and iphone working on itunes on my PC. Will the ipad mini work along with all the others?

Hello,
I was thinking of getting my wife an ipad mini. I use a PC with Windows 7, latest version of itunes installed. From this I have an ipad, ipod and iphone, all of which work perfectly. My question is will the ipad mini also work and be recognised as another device?
Can I put some of my existing Apps onto the mini?
Thanks in advance.

Sure, but only if the new iGadget is "married" to the rest by virtue of having the same AppleID. You will be able to back up, update and upgrade its contents, apps and iOS on the iTunes application on the PC.
However, if it shares the same AppleID as the rest of your toys, she will be able to read your mail and see your messages, which could eventually lead to battles royal on who said what to whom. So beware, you have been warned.

IPod and iPhone on the same computer

This sounds like it's a frequent question, but I can't find the answer.
I have an iPod and an iPhone and I've had them synced to two different computers with iTunes. However, I started to think about it. It would be a lot easier if they were both synced to iTunes on one computer. Can this be done? How?

Yes you can use your iPod and iPhone with one iTunes library, I use two different iPods with mine. I have a friend who manages two iPods and and iPhone. iTunes will recognise each device and you can set them to sync in whatever manner you choose (or update manually): How to use multiple iPods with one computer

HT4527 Old pc crashed, only have existing music on ipod and iphones, need to re-establish itunes on new pc

Old pc crashed, only have existing music on ipod and iphones, need to re-establish itunes on new pc, how do you do it?

Hi ted846,
For any content on your iPod and iPhone purchased from iTunes, you can transfer it to your new computer's iTunes library via this article:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
For anything not purchased through iTunes, you will need to reimport that from the original source or otherwise bring over from the previous disk.
Take care!

How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer

I have two itunes accounts on two different computers, can i merge the accounts so i can then have the same music on both ipod and iphone?

i have two itunes accounts one for each of my two computers, can i merge them so that i can have the same music on my ipod and iphone,
it is all so confusing i need help!!!

You can't currently merge accounts and the content will remain tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it, though you can have more than one account authorised on the same computer's iTunes via Store > Authorise This Computer. As only one account can be actually logged in at a time (Store > Sign In / Sign Out) for purchasing or re-downloading/viewing past purchases, you may want to use just the one account for future purchases.

My wife and I share one itunes account with separate libraries. When I sync her iphone in her library, it adds all of my iphone contacts to her contact list. How can we void this?

How do I manage 2 Ipads and 2 iphones on one ITunes account.

How do I manage 2 Ipads and 2 iphones on one ITunes account. Each device has a different name. But every time I plug them into iTunes on my Pc all the apps get screwed up. apps disappear etc. I have "sync apps" selected without automatic updates. I'm thinking I should have this unselected, but that does make sense to me. Shouldn't I be able to have one iTunes account and manage each device independently. What settings to do I need to apply to itunes so that every time i plug the devices in they don't get all messed up? thanks in advance
Also, Iphone 4s is possible to rotate pictures without extra hassle of downloading software??

You can try contacting iTunes Support and ask them if they can remove the balance from your account so that you can change countries : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Hi jhyiesla,
Im not sure wether I got you right or not. But my advice/s would be as follows:
These steps help you get rid of old apps you downloaded years ago and you do not use anymore.(Also frees space on your mac after emptying the trash)
1) go to iTunes and delete all applications in it. Make sure to move them to trash! Do not empty your trash yet. Its your backup if step 3 doesnt appear.
2) connect both your devices(one after each other) and make a backup. !!!Dont press the Sync button, press the Back Up Now Button
3) Then it asks you if you want to backup applications as well. Confirm. (This is how apps get transferred manually)
4) Then Sync your devices... The first time it might be, that there are some additional apps loaded to your devices you dont want to.. delete them on your Device (not iTunes) and after that you should be good every time you sync again.
5) now you can empty your trash on your mac.
Further,
- You should regularly connect your devices with iTunes to make sure they are backed up. (Even if you have activated iCloud backup, the iTunes backup is more proper i.e.. Apps)
- If you hate scrolling through a list of apps in iTunes, you can re/install apps directly on iOS not via iTunes. I absolutely never go to the "Applications" section in iTunes. I install and delete apps directly on iOS.

I have 2 iphones on one itunes account. I just upgraded both to ios 8 and now the messages i receive come through to both phones when they used to be seperated. What is going on here?

I have 2 iphones on one itunes account. I just upgraded both to ios 8 and now the messages i receive come through to both phones when they used to be separated. What is going on here?

I noticed the same problem after upgrading a few iPhones to IOS 8, all use the same Apple ID. However, I now notice when I go into Message and instead of selecting a person from my contact list, I start typing their name which brings up a list of people, some of which are not in my contact list and are on one of the other iPhones. There's a circle/exclamation point next to the name which I click on, and one of the options is to "Remove from Recent". How did these names get from one phone to another and how do I remove all "recents"? They do not appear in my contact list. Anyone see this?

Yes. Use the option to sync with selected playlists on the music tab when your devices are connected.
