Ipod & Ipod Mini on the same comp

I have a 4th gen ipod clickwheel & my girlfriend has just bought an Ipod mini.
How can we use them on the same computer, without messing up my ipod & it's current library.
Please help.

When you connect the mini you will name it so each time you connect a different pod you can select it by name on screen hope that helps

  • Two ipod minis on the same network

    I am trying to sync my ipod mini but it keeps taking me to my brother's library and online setup. We are on the same network. How do I get back to mine?

    No. It seems like when I upgraded to the new iPod software it erased my library. He took off sharing so I don't go to his library anymore, but now all my songs are gone. I am on a PC...

  • Can I use an iPad, iPad mini and iPod touch on the same apple account?

    Can I use an iPad, iPad Mini and iPod touch on the same account?  Is there a limit to how many devices I can use?

    When you turn on your iDevice for the first time just sign in with the same Apple ID and you can download any apps you have purchased in the past! There shouldn't be a limit to how many devices you can use.

  • 2 Ipod's on the same  Computer ?

    Does anyone know if it is possible to have 2 ipod's on the same computer? I want to have a different library for each one.

    I received the following info from Apple Support because we have a mini and the new 5th generation that we sync to our Mac. Hope this helps.
    How to use multiple iPods with one computer Do you want to use more than one iPod with the same computer? You can! In fact there are a couple of different ways you can do it.
    Method One
    If you share your computer with other people, the simplest way is to maintain separate user accounts on the computer for each person and his or her iPod. This is useful if everyone has different musical tastes; each person gets to maintain his or her own personalized iTunes music library, and can customize the iPod with his or her music.
    Mac OS X users:
    See " Mac OS X: How to Share a Computer with Other Users" to learn how to set up additional user accounts.
    Windows users:
    Look in your computer's Help documentation to learn how to set up additional user accounts. To locate this information, do the following:
    1. Click the Start Menu, and then point to Help or Help and Support.
    2. Enter new user in the Search field.
    3. Press Return.
    If you create multiple user accounts on one computer but want the same music to be available in iTunes for all users, see "iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer ."
    Method Two
    If one person wants to use multiple iPods on a computer, or you don't want to create multiple user accounts to support multiple iPods, you can set iTunes to update each iPod with only certain playlists. This way, you can put all your music on, say, your iPod photo and keep just your workout music on your iPod mini. Here's how to do this:
    1. First, create a new iTunes playlist for each iPod that contains all the music that you want to send to that particular iPod. Learn more about how to create playlists here .
    2. Then configure the iPod Options in iTunes so that each iPod gets updated with only your selected playlists. Learn more about how to send certain playlists to different iPods here .

  • Using a iPod and a iPod shuffle on the same computer

    I was given an iPod shuffle for Christmas and my son has a iPod. He has down loaded the iPod program on my laptop with his songs. If I down load my shuffle on to the same computer will it delete his program and songs or can I use his itunes for my shuffle? Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi. I've just added a shuffle to my iTunes for my wife's use. I have an existing mini. I have attempted to follow the advice you gave in answer to the previous message. I now have two differing playlists but I am unable to follow the steps shown in Method 2 where you use 'Sync music' & then 'Select playlist'. I cannot find these 2 in any of the iTunes menus or by right clicking. I have also referred to my original iPod Mini user guide & am unable to follow the advice in there either, where it says select iPod mini in the Source list. There is nowhere in my iTunes menus where it says 'Source list'. I would be grateful for some help. thanks

  • Can someone please tell me why when I order an Itunes app. , do I always get charged twice for the same thing.  It has happened on two different occasions.  Does it have anything to do with having 2 different ipods linked to the same account?

    Can someone please tell me why when  i order an app on my sons ipod, do I get charged twice for it?   When I tried do report a problem with the charge, it said that I can not get a refund on that item.   This is the second time this has happened to me.   Does it have anything to do with having more then one ipod linked to the same account?   Thanks for any help you can give me!!!

    It has nothing to do with have more than one device using that account.
    After you purchase it once, you redownload it on other devices by the following, not like purchasing a new app.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    If you really got charged twice for purchases the same app twice with the same account contact iTunes again by:
    Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us
    Make sure that they are really the same app first.

  • I have my iphone 4 and an ipod touch on the same apple ID.  My daughter tried to change the settings on the ipod so that she could facetime on both her ipod and iphone which is on a separate Apple ID.  I no longer have a 3G connection.

    I have an iphone 4 and an ipod touch on the same apple ID.  My daughter who uses the ipod tried to change the apple ID on the ipod to be the same with her apple ID on her own Iphone so that she can use facetime on both devices.  Not sure what she did but my 3G connection is no longer working.

    Changing Facetime settings on an iPod will have no affect on cellular settings on an iPhone. Something else is going on there. If she did not change any settings on the phone, then nothing she did could affect your celluar 3G.

  • Can i have more than one ipod touch on the same account, or must they both be set up with different id's.

      Can I have more than one ipod touch on the same account, or must they each have their own ID.

    If you use the same account see the following to separate Messages and FaceTime between the two iPod see:
    MacMost Now 653: Setting Up Multiple iOS Devices For Messages and FaceTime

  • I have 2 ipod touches on the same apple id account.  Can I set facertime up on both with different access emails?

    I have 2 ipod touches on the same apple ID/account.  My daughter uses one, and I use the other.  Can I set facetime up on each with different access email addresses (so that we don't get each others calls?)?

    I recommend that you
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.    
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

  • Can the 4th gen iPod Touch run the same apps as iPhone 4?

    I am sorry, I'm not much informed about stuff like this, so I'm pretty much a noob.
    I got my eye on the new iPod Touch, especially because it is (from what I've read) an iPhone 4 without the phone and the GPS and a somewhat slightly inferior camera and display. I like the iPhone, too, of course, but the price is something that is really important to me, so it's iPod Touch for me.
    I read about all the new features for the new iPod, such as games and other apps, but I'm wondering - can it run the same games apps as the iPhone?
    From the fact they operate on the same OS and that they're very similar hardware wise (same processor) I concluded that they can run the same apps, but as I never seen it officially and as there only "iPhone apps" on iTunes store (not iPod Touch apps) I got the impression that might not be true.
    So I am asking here now, does the latest iPod Touch run the same apps (games etc.) as the latest iPhone? And can I run the iPhone apps I buy from the appstore on the iPod Touch 4th gen?
    I am sorry for my uninformativeness and I thank you in advance.

    Most of the iPhone apps will work the same way on the 4G iPod as they do on the phone. However, other that rely on the specific feature unique to the phone may install but will not work well if at all. The App Store should identify the system/device requirements.

  • I can't get my ipod touch 2nd generation to sync with itunes, at the end of the sync the message ''the ipod cannot be synced, an unknown error occurred (13019)'' my sister who has the same ipod also has the same problem.

  • How do I get the volume on my ipod classic to the same level for all songs?  Some are louder than others.

    How do I get the volume on my ipod classic to the same level for all songs?  Some songs are a lot lower than others.

    Coverflow in iTunes is sorted by Album Artist whereas coverflow on the iPod classic is sorted by Artist. Unfortunately, there is no way to set this on your iPod. This is such a fumble on Apple's part that I'm beginning to think they're becoming another Microsloth with buggy firmware and products.

  • How do I set up 2 different IPOD's on the same computer without having all the songs and games from the first one copy onto the second one?

    how do I set up 2 different IPOD's on the same computer without all the songs and games from 1 copying to the other?

    - Disable autosyncing: go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods ...syncing">
    - Connect the iPod and go to the music, apps and other panes for the iPod and check the boxes that say only sync the checked items.

    hi can anyone help please ? i have had apple products now for apron 7 years BUT have never been able to make the bluetooth work , not even when 2 products i.e. : phone and iPod are in the same room. So i stopped trying but would like to set it up between my iMac and iphone / ipad but can't get it to work, they say discoverable but just will not connect to one another. I also tried the connection code and tried without one ... NO JOY ... Is this common or am i a twit ?

    You can't connect an iPhone or iPad to a Mac via Bluetooth, except for Internet tethering.
    You're not doing anything wrong - it just isn't a feature of iOS devices.
    What were you hoping a Bluetooth connection would allow you to do?
