Ipod mini and ipod on same itunes?

I've had an ipod for a while and used it with my iTunes succesfully. I just got an ipod mini and for some reason the iTunes won't recognize it even though my computer does. It is up to date on updates but it just won't get recognized while my iPod is still being recognized. What do i do?

You may also want to try other usb ports, and also try resetting the iPod whilst it's connected.

IPod Mini and iTunes 7

I have an iPod Mini and I recently downloaded iTunes 7.0.1. For some reason, my podcasts won't import to the podcasts folder on my iPod. Is there any way to work around this, or will I just have to listen to them under songs instead?

First, I have to say that video potcast won't be synced to a iPod without the video feature. Okay,... If that isn't the problem then plug in your iPod and open iTunes. Click the iPod icon on your source list. Click the "Podcast" tab on the top and check sync all podcasts. If that is already selected, then you should select "selected podcasts" and check everyone of them.

I have an ipod mini and now a ipod video, how do I get my itunes to work wi

I just got my ipod video, and i have already a ipod mini and i want to keep it. How do I use the same itunes for both? Do i have to register both and how?

use the CD you got with your new ipod and register it etc.
then make sure you have itunes 6 with video, podcasts etc.
(free download at apple.ca)
your ipod mini will work on here too, it just wont be able to upload any of the videos/photos
and your new ipod should work too (once you have the new software)
you can share itunes with both of these and it'll work

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.

I have two iPads and one iPod Touch and they are using iTunes on the same computer.

I have two iPads and one iPod Touch and they are using iTunes on the same computer. I have not been able to backup the second iPad. Is there a reason this is happening? iPad one is an iPad 1 and the second is an iPad 2 not sure if this has something to do with it. I just tried to upgrade to IOS 5 and when it went to back up it gave me an error code (-5000). I tried to back up using iTunes and it told me that my backup was corrupted and to delete it and try to back up again. When I went into the device portion where I was instructed to go to delete the backup I found that there was no backup for my iPad just the iPad 1.
I have synced many times and all of the apps, podcasts, music, etc... show up in iTunes, and iTunes recognizes that is is the second iPad but there is not a backup for it.
Any Ideas?

My ipad (mini) and ipod are not being recognised by itunes?

When connecting both my ipad(mini) and ipod(7th gen) they are not being recognised by itunes. I last connected just over a month ago and everything was fine. When I last connected I also connected my old ipod(3rd gen) to add new playlists beforing giving to someone else. When I first plugged in I got a message saying that the cable was not Apple authorised - both my cables are cables supplied with my ipod/ipad so came from Apple? When I run diagnostics it says
"Most recent devices not currently connected, - iPod Nano (3rd Gen) and iPad Mini running firmware 6.1.3" This is the first time I have tried to connect since updated my iPad with IOS7? Please help I wanted to put Christmas playlists on both devices.....!

Sudden issue with ipod mini and itunes

Hi
Up until yesterday I have never had a problem with my iPod then I connected to iTunes (again never had any issue with this) and iTunes said that the iPod was in recovery state. After some messing about which didn't lead to the issue resolving itself I hit restore. The restore seemed to be fine and iTunes then recognised the iPod.
However everytime I now connect my iPod at the top of iTunes it says 'Updating iPod' for a few seconds and then switches to 'OK to disconnect'. I can't copy anything onto it using iTunes so am stuck with an empty iPod now.
Any ideas on how to resolve?
Thanks,

I'm not certain I understand the problem: have you re-installed iTunes 6 and now are unable to purchase iTunes Store music?
I have an iPod Mini and have used it flawlessly with iTunes 7 on both a G5 iMac and a G4 Cube under 10.4.7, so "incompatibility" is not the issue here.
iTunes 6.0.5 indeed does continue to allow iTunes Store music purchases...if your problem persists, get back to us here with more info!

Can I Use my Ipod Mini and Nano 2gen on same computer?

I have an Ipod mini and have just purchased an Ipod Nano 2gen. Can I just install the Nano without changing anything that is on my computer for my Mini?
Thanks for any help.

You may need to update iTunes to work with the second generation nano; updating iTunes will not erase anything from your library, and it will continue to work with the iPod mini.

Try downloading the Updater from apple.com. It's the same thing. Make sure you get the right one for your iPod

I just got a new Ipod mini and it won't stop reformatting!

I just got my Ipod mini, and put in the installation disc. I got to the screen where it says to connect your ipod (so i did) and to see if it needs reformatting. well, it did, so I am now waiting for it to stop reformatting so i can finished installing itunes and the rest. it has now been on the same screen for over an hour. is this normal? and if not, what should i do? should i "continue without connecting my ipod" as one checkbox asks?

If you are stuck in the formatting/Restore process, click on the little 'x' in the top corner. It may take you to the next stage in the process. Sometimes it gets hung up.
If this doesnt work:
- Shut down the computer
- Disconnect the iPod
- Restart the computer
- Run the updater again
- Connect the iPod when prompted.
Post back with results, or a bit more detail on where you are in the process.

IPod Mini doesn't appear in iTunes

It seems I'm having a similar problem (but not exact) as some other folks. My iPod Mini (4GB) suddenly stopped showing up on the finder and in iTunes. I checked the support Web Site, and followed the "5 R's". I followed all of the steps, including resetting the iPod, re-installed iTunes and the latest version of iPod Update software, and finally completely restored my iPod to the original settings (thus deleting all of the content on the iPod).
Now, the iPod shows up in the finder, but still doesn't automatically launch iTunes nor show up in iTunes when I launch the application myself. The support section then leads me to believe that I may need to archive and re-install my OS X (10.4) software. I wanted to check here before I took that step to see if anyone had any other ideas, or to see if I was heading down the right path.
For what it's worth, the iPod performs as expected when I hook it into my iMac, so I don't think there's anything wrong with the iPod itself. Finally, my Powerbook (1 GHz) and iMac (G4, 1 GHz) are both running OS X (10.4.3).
Any help or advice that any of you might have would be greatly appreciated. I hope all of you have a great New Year!

This is a little creepy. My daughter's iPod Mini is doing the same thing. We bought it for her a year ago, Christmas. Not only does it not appear, but when I tried to "Restore" it, I get an error message "No iPod Attached". We've had to shut down the iMac to disconnect it (just to be on the cautious side). Is there any way of saving songs before restoring? Thanks!

Ipod mini and ihome clock radio

I've been searching this forum for info on problems using my iHome with my ipod mini, and others seem to be having the same problems, but are assuming it's a glitch with the mini, not the iHome.
I used my mini with my iHome for a few days with no problems. Suddenly, when I docked my mini, it showed nothing but the apple icon, and was frozen. I checked the connection, tried using the mini by itself, still frozen. I followed the mini instructions for resetting, and got it working again. Docked it in the iHome, played 5 seconds of a song, and it froze up again. Reset again, and mini is working fine, but this happens every time I try it in the iHome. Computer recognizes mini just fine, iTunes working ok, battery fine.
Anyone else found a problem with the iHome? I think I've explored all the obvious causes, but let me know if I'm missing something. I'm going to return the iHome and try again with another one, but I'm afraid I might damage my mini! Any suggestions are much appreciated.

Having the exact same problem. Tried the iPod in another iHome, and it does the same thing. Therefore, problem is in the iPod, not the iHome!

Using an iPod Nano and iPod Mini with one PC

I have an iPod Mini which I bought last year and I'm thinking of buying a Nano for my wife. I only have one Laptop PC. Can I use both iPods with one Laptop and update both from the already installed iTunes ? I don't want to create a second PC user ID/account. Will I have to load the iPod Nano s/w onto my Laptop and will this affect my Mini s/w or is it totally separate ? Are there any problems with using to different iPods on a single PC ?
Regards
Simon

Hi Simon,
There is only one iPod updater (http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/):
iPod Updater 2006-01-10 includes iPod Software 1.1 for the new iPod, new iPod Software 1.1 for iPod nano, new iPod Software 1.2.1 for iPod with color display, new iPod Software 1.4.1 for iPod mini, and new iPod Software 3.1.1 for iPod with Click Wheel. iPod Updater 2006-01-10 contains the same software versions as iPod Updater 2005-11-17 for all other iPod models.
It recognises which iPod is plugged in when you attach it for update.
Regards,
Colin R.

2 Ipod minis and 1 XP PC is there anything I should know

Hi I already have Ipod mini (working fine at moment) my son has just purchased one and I will be connecting to pc shortly is there anything I should know to make like easier?

I just have joined since my wife and daughter have had two working well with an XP machine--until today. My daugther's is an iPOD mini and my wife's a 20GB iPod. Using method two on the link that was provided for the past three months. But today, it appears as though iTunes will now only recognize my Daughter's Mini and Displays her name--for both the Mini and my Wife's ;-(.
I'm trying to figure out what might have happened. That was with iTunes 4.8--I installed iTunes 5 now and retried it. Same. Then we reset my Wife's iPod and iTunes still detected her as my Daughter? Seems like there is a data file that is locked in iTunes that is causing the naming display to get confused.
The Music is OK on both and still partitioned by playlists and Updated that way.
Any thoughts?
