Is it possible to have 2 different Ipods on one computer?

I have a Ipod mini first generation and just got a new 30G Ipod.
I downloaded all my music on to the new Ipod and when to Clean out the old one to download music for my mom on it.
After I was done downloading the old Ipod with my mom music I went to put some new music on the New 30G. When I connected the Ipod to USB port I lost all the music I already had and it put my mom's music on it?
Is there any way to have 2 i pod playlist on the same Itunes and not lose my music?

We have 2 minis (my brother and me) , one computer two different tastes in music. The link to help with this is no longer available. I need a way to have one iTunes, but not mix music or have the downloads mix/delete etc. Is there an easy way? I understand about having different users under user accounts, which we do and have disabled fastswitching. I'm not the brightest iPod user so if you have simple instructions it will be very much appreciated!

    Is is possible to have two different passwords within itunes? one to log in with and a different one to make purchases with?

    The system is not setup to provide that kind of sservice.  If making certain purchases it does ask for an answer to one of your security questions, so that provides a little more security for some purchases, just not all.

  • Is it possible to have two address books on one computer?

    I would like to create two address books on my computer.  One for my wife and one for me.  Therefore we can each sync our iphones to address books.

    You can do that by have two separate user accounts on the computer - one for you and one for your wife. This also lets you each have separate Apple IDs so that your iPhone data are separately synced.
    Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
    This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
    On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library
    Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data.  Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
    Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
    Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.

  • Using 2 different ipods on one computer

    Can someone please help, i have a color ipod set up on my computer, and my friend brought over a original ipod (the same as mine but with no color) and we are trying to put songs on her ipod and mine but for some reason the computer will not recognize the one with no color....HELP....what am i doning wrong???

    Apple don't like this.
    The simplet method would be to:
    1) Make both iPods "enable disk use"
    2) Plug in her iPod
    3) iTunes will probably ask if she wants to delete all of her songs and replace them with your library, select NO.
    4) Open the iPod in Windows Explorer
    5) Simply drag & drop the chosen songs from your library onto the iPod in Explorer.
    Hope all goes well. Click the relevant box above to let other users know if this post is "Helpful" or has "Solved" the problem.

  • Can i have two separate ipods on one computer?

    My husband has an ipod shuffle and I do too.  His computer is fried - can I download his tunes off his ipod onto my computer and keep them separate?

    Hello, cinruss. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Multiple users can authorize the same computer.  However, the media libraries will be combined.  The best option may be to create a new user account on the computer specific to him.  The articles below will help you with this process.
