Ipod Nano and Shuffle on the same computer?

Hi guys,
I’m having a problem. I recently connected my 2nd gen nano to my friend’s computer (who has a shuffle) and it thinks I’m her. How do I create my own “account” on i-tunes?
The problem is that now she has tried to connect her shuffle to i-tunes and it’s rejecting her!
I tried a different computer and it came up with her ipod name. How do I make it all mine and reset her settings?
Thanks!!
Natalie.

"How do I create my own “account” on i-tunes?"
Create a separate Windows User account for each person on the PC. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists
I don't use Windows so I can't give you a step by step on that one, however I can point you to another web page which should help you out. You can read about Windows user accounts here:

"I tried a different computer and it came up with her ipod name. How do I make it all mine and reset her settings?"
Have a look at this troubleshooting page, changing the drive letter for the iPod might solve the confusion: iTunes may exhibit strange behavior in relation to the iPod.

  • Having trouble Syncing my nano and shuffle using the same libary

    I have only one libary but I have a iPod nano and a iPod shuffle. When I connect to itunes to sync my shuffle, everything goes well. Then I try to sync my nano but it does not sync. Yesterday I bought a album from the iTune store and I was able to sync the new songs into my Shuffle. I can not do that with my nano? Can someone help me understand what needs to be done? Both are carbon copys with the same songs. One my husband uses and I use the shuffle. I would appreciate any help

    I get no error message. I first plug in my shuffle - everything syncs. Then I plug in the Nano, it just sits there. I go to the top and try to click on "sync ipod" but it is light gray and will not allow me to click on it.

  • Using a 5gen iPod and Shuffle on the same computer

    Before I go and install my wife's new shuffle on my computer I wanted to make sure that this won't screw up my existing iTunes and 5Gen iPod setup. I run Windows XP.
    I would like for us to use the same library--can I do this? What would be the easiest way to do so?
    Thanks!!

    In fact, when you first connect the shuffle, you will get the option - something to the effect of "Your library is larger than this iPod will hold. Do you want to create a playlist from this library and associate the iPod with it?"
    If you say yes, it will randomly choose a full list of songs from your libary and put them in that playlist. Of course, then you can pick and choose to remove and add songs from that list, but it's really a great way to start (assuming you and your wife share music tastes!)

  • Can more than one Ipod Nano be used on the same computer

    I want to give an Ipod Nano as a gift. The prospective recipient tells me that her daughter already uses the computer for her Ipod. Is it possible to use the same software without synchronizing both Ipods with the same songs and such?

    Yes. Point her here:

  • How do you manage an Ipod and Iphone on the same computer

    Hi how do you manage an Ipod and Iphone on the same computer?
    I have my ihpone but for running and cycling i also have my ipod nano, every time i connect one or the other it wipes songs that i want to keep?

    create a playlist for each device and sync only that playlist.
    i'm syncing four mobile devices to iTunes and each has its own playlist. works like a charm.

  • Using both 1st and 2nd Generation Shuffle on the same computer

    After owning a 1st Gen Shuffle for a number of years, today I decided to upgrade to a 2nd Gen.
    What I would like to know is, can I use both shuffles on the same computer, through the same iTunes program, using the same music library?
    There's nothing wrong with the 1st Gen unit, but I still want to use it as a back-up/secondary unit to the 2nd Gen one.
    I have yet to connect the 2nd Gen unit to my computer. Before I do I would like to know whether or not I can use both the old and the new units. Also is there anything special I need to do to allow this to happen.
    thank you.

    Nothing special to do. Connect new iPod and let it sync. Make sure only one is connected at a time.

  • My sister and I each have an ipod touch. We use the same computer and itunes but each have our own apple id. Everytime I want to update an app on my ipod it asks for my sisters apple id login!? help!

    My sister and I each have an ipod touch. We use the same computer and itunes but each have our own apple id. Everytime I want to update an app on my ipod it asks for my sisters apple id login!? help!

    When it asks for another ID on an App Update, it means that the application was purchased under your sister's ID but downloaded to your device from the iTunes library that you share. Even though you both have your own Apple IDs, since you are syncing on the same computer, you are using the same iTunes library.
    Whoever purchased the app is forever tied to it, and you can only have one version of a particular app in a single library....
    Does that make sense?

  • The same itunes Library and playlists on the same computer with two systems

    I want to have the same itunes library and playlists on the same computer with the two different Os 10.3.9 and 10.4.9 each one on the different disk. without copy this in the itunes folder (because my library its 30Gb)
    I have the same user name on the Os. I use the same version of itunes in both systems
    I use my ipod to play the library but its not the best solution (i lost my library in ipod twice because I confused from what os was synchronized)

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    Amalgamate the two iTunes libraries. Then load iTunes and hold down the Option/Alt ⌥ key and then choose "Choose Library" and then point both copies of iTunes to use the combined iTunes library.

  • Can i sync an ipad and iphone on the same computer

    I've got an iPhone 3GS and am thinking of getting an iPad 2 as well.  How does syncing the 2 devices on the same computer work?  Also, can I share Apps that I have purchased across the 2 devices, or do you have to pay for them twice?

    I am syncing my iPad and my iPod Touch using iTunes on the same computer.
    It's even possible to connect both devices at the same time to iTunes.
    Yes, apps are shared between devices, but only if those apps are actually able to run on both devices.
    You therefore only need to buy a certain app once and use it on your two devices.
    Your devices are in fact administratively attached to your Apple ID.
