Ipod Nano & Iphone on same Mac

How can I create a 2nd library on itunes for my wife's new ipod nano that will conflict with my iphone account? She wants different music and selections than mine.

To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key (or Shift key in Windows) when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one: Using multiple iTunes libraries -Mac

Can I synch an ipod nano 6th generation with Mac OSX 10.4.11 with Itunes 8.02?

No. You need at least Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later as well as iTunes version 10.1 or later. Sorry.

Syncing iPhone and ipod nano toi the same iTunes

I have an iPhone (16GB) and and Ipod nano (4GB) and about 9GB of content in my iTUnes. IS it possible to sync both these to the same iTunes library on the same pc. All the iTunes content is on the iPhone but it is too much for iPod nano. I use the two for different things for eg: the nano has nike Plus on it and I also use it for gym etc
in Effect, can you have 2 different libraries to sync with different ipods on the same PC and iTunes

Yes, you can use multiple devices with one library, I use 2 regular iPods and a shuffle (I have a friend who syncs both an iPhone and a Nano, she syncs each with it's own separate playlist). You can for instance have one sync the entire library and another sync a selected playlist or playlists. iTunes recognises each device that is connected and they can each have their own individual settings: There are several different ways to use multiple devices with one computer, you can read more heres: How to use multiple iPods with one computer

IPod Nano not recognized by Mac (latest software upd), but nano charges

iPod Nano has worked great for the past year and has downloaded music files from the mac with no problems in the past. However, since loading the latest ipod update on my Powerbook G4, which has the latest OS X software, the mac does not recognize the nano. When plugged into the USB port, it charges the nano, but when I go to the iTunes Preferences and click on the ipod icon, it says that no iPod is connected. Is this a wire or hardware problem or a software problem?

No, but this is one of the thoughts I had relative to the problem. The local Apple store does not have any extra cables for the nano and the closest other Apple store is an hour away -- if they have an extra cable!! My guess is that it is a cable problem since I tried it on a PC with iTunes and had the same problem.
Thank you for yuour thoughts.

1 iPod Touch, 2 Users, Same Mac, Connect/Sync??

Is it possible to connect and sync an iPod Touch to both user accounts on the same Mac?

If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer or with more than one library you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. You can't auto-sync music and videos from multiple locations.

Can iPod nano playback on same song after sync?

Hello,
Everytime when I add new music to my playlist on my ipod nano, I disconnect and go back to continue to play same song on where i left off, it randomly goes to a new song after syncing?! I always keep my playlist on shuffle, could that be the problem? It does not happen to my podcasts, which continue on where i left off whenever I sync. I'm confused, please help

How do I run 2 ipod nanos on the same itunes on the same computer?

Hi We now have 2 ipod nanos in the house, one 2nd generation and the other 3rd generation. How do we use the same computer with itunes set up for each nano's music? Many Thanks

No need to re-import CDs again. As long as the files are on computer in a directory accessible to logged in user then they can be added to library.
Files added in one library are not automatically added to any other library. Each library is independent of the others except in the case of deleted files. If one library deletes a file from library and disc then the other library will still have entry in iTunes but will have "!" next to it because the file itself is gone.

TS1398 I have an ipod and iphone on same computer-is that an issue?

I have an ipod & an iphone. The iphone is mine though and my daughter has the ipod of course for just games and music. I am having issues when I hook up to Itunes, it wanted at first to add all my apps to her ipod & add all her games on mine. So I figured out a solution instead of her using my email address, I set her up one of her own. I also set her up an apple ID & password. Now, my only problem is that it won't let her update her apps without asking for MY email address, even though on her itunes store, it shoes her apple ID as her email address and not mine. So I having hard time dealing with this, it's awful. She has 7 updates ready and cannot download them. Im really upset.
Now on my Iphone, my email address is the same, but, it says my security code on my account is invalid. I've had the same credit card on the account every since I had the phone, never had any problems with it till now. I add another card, and still says any number I add is invalid. So I really do NEED HELP! I have sent out an email to the App store itself to see if they could help me, but of course that takes 48 hours! I have 6 updates and I can't update mine bec of a security code & hers won't bec of email issues. Any help would be very appreciated! THANKS.

- Apps are permanently locked to the account that purchased them. You have to log into that account to update the apps. If you have apps that need update from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased form one account. Apps can't be moved form one account to another.
- For the CC issue, see if this helps:

IPod Nano not recognized by Mac OS 10.3.9

I was given a lovely iPod Nano for Xmas & to my dismay my 4 year old iBook, running OS 10.3.9, popped a message up the screen informing me that I needed OS 10.4.8 or higher. Apart from my displeaure at Apple for this, I have a practical technical problem to solve. I don't suppose there is a shareware solution to this, so I will pass to discussing solutions built around the OS. My iBook G4 dates from November 2003, has 933 GHz of processor power & 640 MB of RAM, the maximum possible. I have been told by a very knowledgeable Mac technician in the UK that OS 10.4 would run faster on my iBook than my present OS 10.3.9, but that Leopard would probably be too taxing, especially since the hard drive is a measly 37 GB with 4 for a maintenance partition, presently leaving only some 8 GB free on the HD. Unfortunately OS 10.4 is no longer on sale in Apple stores or resellers. I could buy it on eBay, but aren't OS's that are bundled with specific models designed to work only on those models, or can I purchase any original OS 10.4 whose owner has passed to Leopard? I'd be grateful for any help you can offer me on this.

Thank you for your input, Catboy, but I fear Leopard will be too taxing for my processor & I know that Tiger is leaner in all respects. I have solved my problem on an immediate basis by going to a friend who has a PC with XP, who inserted my 3 gigs of music onto his iTunes for Microsoft & then downloaded it onto my iPod. So, in this case an Apple product (iPod) could be activated for the benfit of another Apple product (iBook) only by way of a PC running Microsoft XP. That is ironic, but also a bit disgraceful on the part of Apple. It's not as if I were running Puma or Jaguar, which are years out of date. I'm afraid this still sticks in my craw despite Steve Jobs'masterful showmanship at MacWorld Expo.
No one yet has been able to tell me whether versions of Mac OS bundled with a machine are specific to that model of Mac or can be used promiscuously with any Mac with compatible specs. I am very interested in this question, because I plan to pick up a copy of Tiger. I know Apple has pulled Tiger from all their stores & from all dealers, w2hich is going to complicate things for me.
Since I live in Europe, I will see if I can get a copy locally or failing that through eBay in the UK. But I still do need to know the answer to the above question to be sure of compatibility. Thanks to anyone who can help me.

Does the 7th generation ipod nano have the same storage capacity as the 4th generation ipod nano

Just bought a ipod nano 7th generation to replace my 16gb 4th generation nano as its battery life is getting shorter
Went to load my library on to my new ipod and it could not take all the songs, wheras my 4th generarion had room to spare
so i have had to uncheck a lot of songs to get my new ipod to accept loading
my guess would be around 300 mb
Is this difference right when they are both rated as 16gb and showing on itunes at keast the same storage capacity?

Need to add I have restored the ipod twice with no change to storage capacity
'others' is showing
4th gen 119 mb
7th gen 136 mb

IPod Nano - Shuffle plays same songs over and over

I have several playlists on my iPod Nano with varying numbers of songs. But it seems that every time I use my iPod, no matter which playlist I'm using, I get some songs over and over. I'll hear the same couple songs multiple times in a day/week. I turn it off when we aren't using it. So it seems like it's resetting the shuffle every time I turn it on. Is there some setting I need to change to make it shuffle the songs more? I don't remember having this problem with my iPod Shuffle. I'm considering making multiple playlists (like a several workout ones with different songs in each so I get more variety) but wondering if there's a simpler fix
Thanks

That is probably the Repeat setting. It can be set to repeat ONE (repeats current song), ALL (repeats current list), or OFF (does not repeat).
Which iPod nano model do you have? Does it have a touch screen interface, or the (older) click wheel interface?

Sync iPod and iPhone to same MacBook

i currently have an ipod touch with OS 3.1.2 that sync's calendar & contacts via mobile me, and everything else via USB to itunes on my MacBook Pro.
in two weeks i'll take delivery of an iphone & would then like to keep both this and the ipod touch up to date with contacts, calendar etc.
will there be any problem with synching both the ipod and iphone with itunes on the same laptop ?
and also - would i be correct to assume that i will need to download / buy any apps i want on the new iphone again & that if i sync with itunes it won't transfer everything over from the ipod ?
btw - this is probably irrelevant to these questions, but i also have an MacBook Air synchronised via mobile me but don't connect that MBA to the ipod.
thanks,
mark

You can sync as many ipods and iphones as you like to one computer.
Each is a different device and you can put whatever yo like on each.
You can share the same apps between the two devices - no need to repurchase.

Does anyone know how to pull songs off my iPod nano formatted for a Mac to a PC?

I Have an old iPod nano that was originally formatted for a Mac that is no longer around. I am trying to import the songs onto my pc but cannot because re formatting will erase everything. Any suggestions?
