Ipod connecting to two accounts

Hi,
I have a PB with two accounts set-up. I have a nano and a 5th Gen 60Gb Ipod. What would be the best way of creating a library which can be accessed by both accounts? I could duplicate but I would start to run out of disk space as I have a lot of music!
I know I could just use one account but it's convenient for us to use our personal accounts as they have different settings.
thanks,
P.

  • I have a Disney Movie Rewards account that is connected to me iTunes account and the movies I have digital copies for aren't loading in my iTunes movie library.  How do I get them there if I've already connected the two accounts?

    I have a Disney Mvoie Rewards account that is connected to my iTunes account.  I have downloaded digital copies of movies I have purchased before such as Thor: The Dark World, but I recently purchased Saving Mr. Banks and it is not loading in my iTunes movie Library.  How do I get it to load there once I have redeemed the digital copy code and have confirmed the two accounts are connected?

    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time and make sure it is correct, including time zone.

  • Ipod synced to two accounts? Help!!

    In 2011 I believe, I recieved a 4th Generation Ipod touch. I connected it to the home computer which was signed into my mom's account. I made my own apple I.D. so it would let me purchase my own music. When I would plug it in to my computer all of my songs would sync and I could use music from both accounts. Now When I plug it into that computer it says my ipod is not authorized. I also just recently got a new laptop. I am trying to move my music form my account that I have purchased onto it but it says that I am not authorized. Agh! I need some serious help. I need to update my ipod and keep all of my music while doing so. What do I do?

    With your new computer you should be able to download iTunes on to it first. Then for all of the songs that you purchased with you own iTunes account you should be able to download those songs to the new computer as well. You may need to deauthorize you mother's computer from your account as well.
    To deauthorize a computer you:
    Sign in to iTunes with the appropriate Apple id on your mother’s computer
    Go to the iTunes store. Look in the Apple ID summary section of the Account information page you should see a section that says computer authorizations. This lets you know how many computers you are authorized to use your Apple ID.
    Below that in the 'iTunes in the cloud' section, look at the Manage devices section. This lets you know which devices you can use to download songs you have purchased.
    If you want to deauthorize you mother's computer click on music on the top left so you can see you music library. Then go to store in the drop down menu and choose deauthorize this computer
    Authorization is in the same place as deauhtorization; and you can authorize your new computer on the iTunes you downloaded to that computer. This would allow you to use two computers to download files and, if necessary make backups and or restore your device.
    If push comes to shove you can find the folder that has all of your music your mother’s computer and manually copy and paste them to an usb drive. Then copy and paste them to the iTunes music folder on your new computer.
    Hope this helps!

  • One purchase on iPad + iPod? With two accounts but same credit card?

    My daughter (10) recently decided that after years of saving her allowance money, she would buy an iPod Touch. I just ordered my first iPad. Now, this iPad is meant as a family iPad. She has her own iTunes account, but it is based on my credit card and only I know the password, so she needs me to make purchases. In fact, this is all a family affair, it is just that she must be able to sync her own music and stuff.
    Now, she bought (I bought her) Angry Birds. It is on her iPod. Do I need to buy it a second time to get it on the iPad?

    Do I need to buy it a second time to get it on the iPad?
    No, Angry Birds is compatible with iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad running iOS3.0 or later. If you made the purchase directly on the iPod you can connect it to iTunes and *Transfer Purchases* to bring it into the library, then connect the iPad to put it on that. Alternatively you can simply attempt to purchase it with the same account directly from the iPad. When you confirm the purchase you will be told that you have already bought it but can download it to the device. You won't be charged again.

  • Ipod connecting to two computers

    ok, my ipod was working just fine. Then i got a laptop with vista. I connected to that, and then when i tried to reconnect to my computer with xp, it said needs to be reformatted to work with windows. Now it's just corrupted and doesn't work at all. i tunes doens't even recognize it. I've tried all the R's and everything. WHAT DO I DO? help.

    I would try forcing the iPod into disk mode, and then seeing if you can restore.
    Ensure the HOLD switch is OFF so that there is NO orange color showing beneath the switch. Then, press and hold the MENU and the SELECT (center) buttons together for about 10 seconds, until you see an Apple logo. When you see the Apple, IMMEDIATELY press and hold the SELECT (center) and the PLAY/PAUSE buttons together until you see a check mark, and the iPod says "Disk Mode, OK to Disconnect."

  • 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.

  • Two accounts one one iPod Touch and Computer

    Here is the setup that i want and want to know if it is possiable and if so how. So my parents have the iTunes account password and the reason that they will not tell me is becuase there is a credit card tied to it and don't want to to spend more than i need (even though we only use gift cards), so i see where they are coming from, and i agree with them. So my idea is to have two accounts. The main account, which holds all of the media that we bought, like music movies and apps, and then make another iTunes account for the iPod Touch that i will know the password to and can get free apps and put my own gift cards on so i will have my own 'gift card money' and becuase i won't enter a credit card on this account i cannot overspend more than my gift card has. The only catch is when i sync it back to my iMac which has all the iPod's/iPad is connected to and the family accounted synced to it wilcan i authrize the computer to be with 'my' account so that it will show u[p as able to by synced and that teh free and paid apps that i buy with mu money wil be able to be authorized to be played or used with the family account so everyone can use the content i buy?

    Maybe they can let you know what you need.

  • My Apple ID is valid but My icloud account does recognize it. I've had iPod touch for two years

    I've had I iPod touch for two years and have find my iPhone on it. I've lost it and now when I try to look for it it says my Apple ID is valid but does not have an icloud  account. Like I said I set it all up when I first got it and use it a few times why won't it work now and is there some way to reassociate it with my ID. Is there somewhere my info is stored?

    Do you another Apple device that is eligible for an iCloud account and is using that iCloud account?

    I suspect not and that the iPod has been restored and thus your account removed for the iPod. Then you iCloud account was deleted since you not longer have a device using it.

  • 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
    Mandi

    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.

  • I have 2 iPhones - one for personal use and one for work. They are currently connected with the same Apple ID. I would like to separate the two accounts. Does anybody know how to do this?

    Just create a new AppleID for your work.
    As Allan suggested, items purchased on one iTunes account cannot be moved to the other account.
    However, you can put items purchased on on account onto the other iPhone.

  • I have an iphone 4 connected to my imac/itunes using a designated email address.  However, I also have an 80gb ipod classic which is connected to my general email account. How can I transfer my ipod to the same account as the iphone

    I have an iphone 4 connected to my imac/itunes account using its own designated email address. However, I also have an 80gb ipod classic which is connected to my general email address. How can I delete this and transfer the ipod to the same account as the iphone 4. Thankyou

    iPods, iPhones, and iPads aren't tied to one particular iTunes accout/Apple ID.  So there are no special instructions to follow to allow you to sync it with your newer account.  Simply sync it as you would your iPhone 4.

    Hello chlanli
    You would need to use one Apple ID for purchases in order to get them across all of your devices and computer. If you want you can use one Apple ID for purchases and the other one to sync personal data. The article below will explain further.

    This is all just a partial answer since details will depend upon how you want to do it.

    You'll need to get it all onto one iTunes collection on your Mac Pro, then sync the devices to that.  iTunes only lets you transfer purchases from a device, otherwise you have to use third party software.
    I guess you could also look into getting iTunes Match.

  • When I got my ipod I made an account with iTunes from my ipod.yesterday, I made a password lock to get into my ipod and I couldn't get into it even though I did the correct one. Now it says"connect to iTunes" BUT I can't because I never registered. HELP!!

    When I got my ipod I made an account with iTunes right from my ipod.Yesterday, I made a password lock to get into my ipod and I couldn't get into it even though I did the correct one. Now it says"connect to iTunes" BUT I can't because I never registered on the computer. I've tried holding the home and sleep/wake button for 10 sec and then only the home for 5sec and that might have reset it, but it didn't help. If any of you guys know what to do so I can unlock it I would appreciate it VERY much.

    If you haven't done so install iTunes on your computer. http://www.apple.com/itunes/
