Ipod Nano and really old 20 gb Ipod, will they conflict with each other?

Hi. I guess I'm pretty lucky as I won a new Ipod Nano, 8gb. I'm very happy with my old 20 gb first edition Ipod. No issues ever with the old one. I'd like to use the new Nano working out, etc. How will Itunes know I have a new Nano and will it conflict w/my old one? Can I set playlists for just the Nano? Can I watch videos on a Nano? Any help would be great on features, do's/don'ts, etc. Thank you for the time.

Hello Litodeck,
Since there is no limit to the number of iPods you can have synced to one library and iTunes account, you should have no problems hooking up the new nano. As to how you want to manage each iPod depends. There are number of different possibilities here. I think for the best help and information regarding these methods, I would check out this Apple support document.
[How to use multiple iPods with one computer|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495]
As to watching movies on your iPod, yes, you can. You will either have to import videos of your own or purchase them from the iTunes store. On top of that, you will also have to set your iPod up to sync videos from under the Videos tab for your iPod in iTunes.
Hope this helps.

My husband and I each have iphones, how can we share the contact and calender info we have have in our iclouds with each other?

My husband and I each have an iphone 4S, how can we share the contact and calender info we have in our iclouds with each other?

You can make one or more calendars of one iphone sharable and the other user will be able to have those sharable calanders synced. Unfortunately, you can't do that with contacts. But you could go to the computer account used by you or your husband, perform a backup of the contacts (see the file menu), copy the file to the other account used to sync the other iphone, and restore. It's a manual process that has to be performed periodically, but doable.
The other method is for each of you to use the same iCloud ID and have both iphones synced to be identical. But I don't recommend that otherwise you'll each get the same text messages and who knows what else.

OS X and OS 9.2.2 aren't playing nicely with each other

Hi! Im'm having a problem with OS X and OS 9.2.2 cohabitating on my computer. Here's what I've done so far:
I have 5 drives on my computer: 1) Dedicated to OS 9.2.2; 2) Backup for OS 9.2.2 (cannot boot from this drive; it has replaced the Zip drive on ATA bus 0); 3) Dedicated to audio; 4) Dedicated to audio backup; 5) Dedicated to document archive (on SCSI card, cannot boot).
I initialized the audio backup drive (120 gb) and made two partitions: 110 gb for audio backup and 10 gb for OS X. I then installed OS X on the partition successfully.
Since I had problems before, I restarted and booted from my Norton Utilities disk and checked all the other disks. EACH DISK had this error message:
"There is a major error in the Alternate Volume Header Block. The last mounted version is invalid. The Volume Header Block and Alternate store important information about your HFS+ disk, such as the number of files and folders on the disk (6, 2, 36)".
I then repeated the process. Same thing.
What do I do now? Most of my software is older and not written for OS X, and I can't afford updates. Plus, I like OS 9.2.2, particularly for its stability with audio. Help!
Thanks.

Hi Stanley:
Many is the user who has watched Norton wreak havok on their OS X systems. Although Norton is a great tool for OS 9, and I've never had any cause to question its usefullness with OS 9, NEVER use Norton Utilities on any partition with OS X, not even version 8, which was supposedly compatible with OS X.
You don't mention which version of OS X you are installing. There were reports of problems with external OS 9-formatted drives and Jaguar (10.2.6) came out. Are you trying to install Jaguar?

You can only sync with one iTunes library/computer. To switch:

HT1364 I got a new computer and my IPOD will not sync with the new computer? what am I doing wrong....thanks

I got a new computer and my IPOD will not sync with the new computer.....I have a ITUNES account on the new computer and is downloading music just fine but it will not sync to the IPOD....What should I do to sync my IPOD? thanks

Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
Attempts to sync an iDevice to a new computer will remove all content from the device and replace it with content from the new, empty library.

IPod as a conduit to sync iCal and Outlook 2003 with each other?

I am able to synchronize my work Outlook 2003 calendar and home Mac iCal with the iPod in two separate files on the iPod. I can see them both if I select "All". My questions are:
1. What should I do to sync the PC and the Mac with the same file on the iPod?
2. Is it possible to snychronize the iCal and Outlook with each other via the iPod?
Thanks,

If you mount your iPod on your Mac, navgate to the iPod Calendars folder and double-click on an ics file it will import the calendar into iCal. So you can sync from the PC to the iPod to iCal uni-directionally. If Outlook 2003 can import an ics file then you should be able to sync the other way as well. However, in both cases you will essentially be copying over one calendar with another, not really synchronizing.

I have moved my itunes to a new computer and now my ipod will lnot sync with new line up

i have moved mu itunes to a new computer and my ipod will not sync with new music.

If you are using automatic syncing, you may need to set up the iPod's Music tab in iTunes.
Select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary). Select Music there. This is the Music tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync the iPod with songs. Sync Music is checkmarked for automatic syncing.
If your entire iTunes music library can fit on the nano, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Then, create your selection of songs below. For example, if you want to keep it simple, create a new playlist in iTunes. Put ALL songs you want on the iPod on that playlist, including songs from the newly added music. Back on the Music tab, find and checkmark that new playlist under Playlists.
When you click Apply, your selection of songs on the Music tab syncs to the iPod, replacing its current content. Going forward, any changes that are related to the Music tab settings sync automatically when you connect the iPod, or when you click Sync. So, if there is a playlist with your "iPod songs," you can just update that playlist (add and remove songs) whenever you want; iTunes updates the iPod with the same changes at the next opportunity.

HT1386 My husband and I traded ipod with each other. Now, I am unable to put my entire library on the ipod. Only some songs imported. HELP

My husband and I exchanged ipods with each other. I attempted to import my whole music library to this current ipod. only certain songs imported. Not all. How do I get the WHOLE library to this ipod?

if I sign in my iTunes on my husband's computer, will it delete his iTunes library?
LOL! If Home Sharing deleted the other person's library, then Home Sharing wouldn't have too many users, would it?
Seriously, Home Sharing sounds like a fine solution to the need you express.
However, your question suggests that your library is not backed up, right? You and your husband should each make a backup of your libraries.

You'll need to connect the iPod Touch to your iTunes library in recovery mode and restore it factory settings. There is no other way.

IPod will not sync with new laptop

Alright everybody, got a tough one here I can't seem to figure out. I have a 3rd generation iPod touch. I had it synced with my now secondary desktop that has my library and everything on it. I am now trying to get my iPod switched over fully to my new primary laptop. I am running iTunes 10.5 and iOS5. The iPod will sync fine with the desktop but when I try and sync and erase with my laptop absolutely no music will transfer over. I can click the device tab on the left and look at music and they are all grayed out as if they are ghost files. Does anybody have any suggestions? For the record I have tried to restore the iPod and set it up as a new iPod on the laptop but the music files still will not sync. I can go back and plug it in to my desktop and everything syncs fine. Thanks in advance.

Is your new computer authorized with the same account? About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
Did you try to transfer purchases and back up manually before your sync?
Connecting to a new computer will erase your device during the first sync. But you can use the manual backup to restore from afterwards. Make sure to have at least onwe contact and event listed on that computer as well, syncing to an empty address book will delete contacts and calendars on the ipod.
Also check your restrictions, to make sure app installation is allowed.

Ever since I updated iTunes my iPods will not sync with my cars

Ever since I updated iTunes my iPods will not sync with my cars.I have a 30g and 60g 5th gen iPods that I use in my two car. In my cars I have a dealer installed integration module so that I can navigate my I pods play list artist and song titles using the radio itself. Ever since that last iTunes update 7.3.1. I no longer am able to use this feature. I used my sister’s 30g iPod that she did has not updated and the system works fine. Can someone help me with this problem.

I have had an Alpine head unit in my car with the ipod connection for about a year and it has worked fine until recently. Now I get an error message on the ipod that reads, "The currently attached accessory is not supported by this ipod." I have tried connecting a buddy's ipod to my car stereo, and his still works fine with it. I've done the 5 R's, tried going back to an older version of itunes as Alpine suggested. My next step will be going to the Apple store with an appointment, seeing what they say.

Ipod Nano and really old 20 gb Ipod, will they conflict with each other?
