IPod video, 3 Nano, and itunes...can they co-exist?
Please help me..my teens are breathing down my neck to use my iTunes account. What is the best way to get three nano devices for three children up and running with iTunes? Do I make different accounts, or share one very large library, or what? We have different tastes in music...
I don't know if Windows Vista does this, but in XP you can set up different user accounts and then each account can have its own iTunes library.
Go to the start menu, then control panel, then user accounts, then create new account.
I have a nano and my sister has a mini and that's how we keep ours seperate. We can't sync or charge them at the same time so it would help if you got a wall charger of three (if you don't already have one).

IPod Nano and iTunes - can't edit Library
I have an iPod Nano, and just downloaded iTunes 11.3 for Windows. I can see my iPod Library, but I can't edit it - i.e. delete songs to make room to add new. Can anyone help?
Hey there Bayvette,
You will want to use these instructions to help you sync music onto your iPod, keeping in mind that you can uncheck any music you want to remove from your iPod and it will be removed when you initialize the syncing process:

I downloaded the Vevo and Cityville apps, and iTunes says they're on my iPod, but I can't find them. Is there some place they go on the iPod?
Try using the Spotligh search feature on the iPod. To get there, swipe the Home screen fully to the right.
Also, if they are Games, they could be in the Game Center.folder -

If they were imported from CDs, and you had no other backup of them on your system or another drive, you'll need to reimport them from CDs again.
For music purchased from the iTunes, you can redownload each track at no cost via iCloud. See this article for more details.

My ipod screen is cracked and i can't sync my ipod to itunes because it is locked with a password and i can't enter the password because the heat sensor is messed up on the ipod becasue of the screen and i don't want to restore it and lose everything. What can i do?!
All you can do is to restore and thus erase the iPod unless you can get a data recovery company to preserve the data.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

I have just brought 2 mini's for my boys for xmas. 1. can I connect them both to my existing Itunes account or do I need to set up something different. and 2. can they be used on their dads account as well as mine, or only one?
You can set them up with your Apple ID if you want to. You can also set them up with their dad's Apple ID. Depending on how old the boys are, you can even let then have their own Apple ID's. The one thing that you don't want to do is have them use more than one Apple ID on their iPads.
If you want to be able to share purchased content, then setting them up with either your ID or your husband's (?) ID would be the way to go. If the boys share an ID with one of you, they can download content that you have already purchased without having to pay for it again.
If you and have the financial wherewithal to allow them to purchase their own individual content, I would recommend letting them have their own Apple ID. This way, as they grow older and eventually move on, they will have their own accounts, their own purchases .... No ties needed to your ID or to dad's ID. FaceTime and Messages will be a little easier to set up if they have their own ID's and they can have their own iCloud accounts as well. However, they must be 13 years old in order to have an Apple ID and iTunes account. If they are under 13, then it's a no brainer you will have to use yours or their father's ID.
Whatever you decide to do, just don't switch from one ID to another ID on the iPads. That gets confusing and they could end up locking themselves out of one of the ID's for 90 days if they download a past purchase using a different ID. -
I bought an iPod nano and Itunes does recognize the iPod but when I try to sync it will not let me. What now?
How do you know it will not let you? Are you getting an error message? What is the error message?

I connected my friends ipod to my laptop whilst I was playing some songs and closed whatever came up on the screen from itunes. Next thing I know his ipod has been wiped and we can't find his music. How do we get his music back? He hasn't got his laptop anymore so the only music he has was on his ipod.
Hasn't he got a backup of his content on external drives and/or CDs or DVDs ?

There's 90MB free on my Nano and iTunes says 15 pictures won't fit.
When is Apple going to fix this bug? I have 90MB free on my Nano and iTunes says it can't fit 15 pictures on it. If I remove all the songs and then add the pictures, they take up a WHOPPING 18k of space on the Nano. Why does iTunes think that 18 KILOBYTES won't fit into 90 MEGABYTES of space?
Please Apple FIX THIS!"What does the nano report in the settings/about menu?"
90MB free. I understand the 2GB doesn't equal 2GB thing.
iTunes reports 90MB free on the Nano. I can fill that space with MUSIC, and have done so all the way down to a mere 250-300k left empty. But iTunes can't seem to grasp that 20k of pictures will fit into 90MB of space.
It's a bug. -
Running 2 iPods from 1 PC and iTunes
Hi Can you run 2 iPods from 1 PC and iTunes ? If so is it as easy as docking the new iPod and letting iTunes work out that it's not the original iPod ?
Yes you can. If you are adding a second iPod for your own use, just connect the new iPod to your computer and follow the on screen instructions. It will be recognised as a different device and will update from your existing library. Depending on the size of your library and the type of iPod you choose you can have it update all songs and playlists, selected playlists only or you can manage it manually.
If the iPods belong to different people then there are basically two ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
a) Sharing a single iTunes library and user account.
b) Creating multiple user accounts and having separate libraries.
Sharing a Library
If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish):
Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Mac
Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Or you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
Separate User Accounts
Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. 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 -
Since upgrade ios and iTunes can't access homeshare on ipad
Since upgrade ios and iTunes can't access homeshare on ipad. I see 'share', when using music app on iPad. I click on it and then select my MacBook Pro. Circle starts goes half way the stops. My Apple TV works great. So iTunes on MacBook must be set up right. Videos app is similar, the circle just spins and spins. My wifi is an apple airport. I beginning to think I have invested badly. I have signed out and in again of home share on iPad and MacBook as advised. I have read and re-read. Is there a solution?
Hello Gary,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Home Sharing. It sounds like you are not able to access iTunes from your iPad using Home Sharing. I found an article with steps that I think would help with this issue.
I recommend reviewing the full article below, but I think steps 4-7 are specifically useful for what you described:

MY Ipod is showing cord and itunes logo and not responding
MY Ipod is showing cord and itunes logo and not responding
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
