Ipod nano and ipod video

Hi,
this may be a lame question, but I have an ipod video and my daughter is investing in an ipod nano. Can we use the same itunes on the same computer? Or if I connect her nano to my itunes will it try to download the videos as well? Also in my itunes I have more songs than her nano will take (and songs she doesn't want)! can she download to hers manually as I just always sync mine

Hi fairyfootlight!
That's a very valid question to ask.
Yes, you can manage multiple iPods through one computer and iTunes library.
"Also in my itunes I have more songs than her nano will take (and songs she doesn't want)! can she download to hers manually as I just always sync mine"
Yes, you could manually manage her nano while syncing yours, although it might be easier to sync both of them.
You see, you can create separate playlists for each iPod, one for each iPod to sync from.
This kind of technique is described as Method 2 (which I find convenient to use) in this article, which also has good info on how to manage multiple iPods with one computer:
How to manage multiple iPods using one computer
"Or if I connect her nano to my itunes will it try to download the videos as well?"
Unless something is really wrong with your iTunes (which could happen, although not likely), iTunes should not start trying to transfering videos to the Nano, since nanos cannot play videos. And, since iTues can read what kind of iPod you have by it's serial number, it wouldn't attempt at doing that.

1G iPod Shuffle - can I connect iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle to same PC?

Please can someone help?! My husband has an iPod Nano and I have just bought my son an iPod Shuffle. Can they both be used on the same PC? I'm worried that every time I link one of the iPod's up it will overwrite the other iPod. Many thanks. JML1010

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.

Experience with iPod nano and iPod socks?

After discussing with the Apple Helpline about the scratches on my nano, they quickly proposed to send my some iPod socks for free in order to protect the nano (is this like implicitely admitting that something went wrong?).
My question: Does anybody have experience with iPod socks and the nano, i.e. do they scratch the nano as well (as somebody on another forum has posted)?

lol, good one James. + for you.
I remember this same thing with the iPod Mini. That was released in February 2004 and there were a huge number of cases by around April. But the mini was announced in January which ment the third party makers had a whole month to design and make cases.
The ironic thing....people didnt need a case for the mini. Its was scratch resistant to begin with, however the nano is damaged by finger acid!!!

PS: James, off topic, but do you use your iPods for different reasons, as im trying to think of ways to justify having three aswell?

IPod Nano and iPod Shuffle not recognized by my iMac

I'm new to Mac and just purchased a Nano and a Shuffle. I spent the weekend transferring music from iTunes to both devices without any issues. A few hours later I went to transfer additional songs and my Mac would not recognize either device. The screen on my Nano says"Connected - Eject before disconnecting". My shuffle blinks orange. That's it...I have reset the Nano and nothing changes. I'm hoping someone out there can help me.
Thanks!

I had this problem with my MacBook. What finally worked was, while connected, toggling the hold switch on/off/on and then holding down the menu and center buttons until the apple logo appeared and it truly reset itself.

Nike+ workoutt on iPod Nano and iPod?

I was wanting to put my workout on my iPod as well as my Nano. All the songs transfer however, the 40 min training session with the coach does not transfer along with the songs. Does anyone know why this is?

Because the Nano is the only iPod to use the Nike+ stuff.

Whats better the ipod nano or Ipod video??

What are your views on the ipod nano and ipod video??

I'm horrified that Apple have released a video iPod and stuck a tiny 4:3 ratio screen on it. I know that 16:9 widescreen has only just appeared in the good old US of A, but as one of the countries at the forefront of Hi-Def TV (which has 16;9 widescreen images as standard) I am quite bemused - what are you going to watch; black and white re-runs of 'I love Lucy' - again. Or perhaps just even smaller letterboxed films, (special 1 inch high presentation of Star Wars Episode 3 ?) TV shows and pop promos? ( most of which are now shot 16:9 widescreen especially if they are sourced HD)
I hate to say this but buy yourself a nano for your music (Apple's music players still beat every other one out there) and get a PSP for watching films/videos !

Can I download a free exercise video to my computer (not from Itunes)and then to my ipod nano, and then show it on my tv, and if so how?

Can I download a free exercie video (not from Itunes) to my computer, then to my ipod nano, and then show it on my tv?

If you have a compatible video file, you can add it to your iTunes library by dragging it to the iTunes window, or by using the command
iTunes menu bar -> File -> Add to Library...
If the video is in a format that iTunes can play, it should be imported and appear as a new item in the iTunes Movies library.
It may not be playable on the nano directly, because of its format. For example, if it's "HD," the resolution is too high for a nano's screen. If it plays in iTunes, but not on the nano, you can use the command to covert it. Select the item in a list and then
iTunes menu bar -> File -> Create New Version -> Create iPod or iPhone Version
That version should play on an iPod nano. NOTE: Some videos downloaded from the iTunes Store cannot be converted to a lower resolution format, because they have DRM (copy protection).

No audio on video on just iPod Nano and Clasic

Hi Folks,
I have recently ran into an issue that has me a bit confused. I have had a couple viewers of our video podcast complain that they are unable to hear the audio on thier devices, it plays fine in iTunes just not on their iPod. One is viewing on an 5th gen. iPod Nano and the other on a 2nd gen iPod Classic. The confusing part is that I have tested on an iPod Touch and iPad and I am not experiencing the issue on those devices.
The issue popped up when we changed over our encoding hardware from an Elgato to a Matrox MXO2LE using their MAX technology. However, the files are being encoded the same way, ACC LC at 128Kbps. The only noticeable difference was that the Elgato was encoding at 44.1kHz and the MAX at 48kHz. As far as I can tell both are supported on the iPods.
Any thoughts?
Mike

I'm afraid I have no experience of video on any iPod: could I suggest you ask in the iPod Forum where you could very possibly get someone to test the actual files.

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.

I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

You do not merge libraries.
iDevices sync to one and only one computer.
If you want a single library, you manually move the content from one library to another... all content will still be associated with the Apple ID it was acquired with.

I just got an ipod nano and i went to use itunes. I noticed that my boyfriend already had account on my computer. I was able to put in my email and purchase a few songs however it will not sync to my nano. I went to devices and it will not sync.

I just got an ipod nano and noticed i had Itunes on my computer. My boyfriend had downloaded it for him a while ago on the computer with his own music. I went on the account and downloaded some music but it will not let me sync it to my nano. I believe that must be because it is his account. I went to the control pannel to uninstall the program (with his permission hehe) and re downloaded it. All of his stuff came back up. I am not able to sync anything to my nano thanks for any input!

Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes has no affect on the media on the computer or the account it is linked to.
If the media was purchased under another iTunes account, then it is permanently tied to that account.
