Is it possible to use a bought iPod game on more than one iPod?

My dad bought a game for his iPod and I don't know if or how I can use it on mine, too. Is it possible? If so, how?

I have an iPod nano (3rd gen) and he has iPod video (5th gen). He and I use the same computer, and iTunes, for our iPods.

Games on more than one iPod???

Can the new iPod games be put on more than one 5th Generation iPod?
P4 Windows XP iPod 5th Gen 60GB

Hi Duckyspawn!
All you need to do, when your iPod has the game synced to it, is to disconnect it from your computer, then plug in your wife's iPod. (It's not usually a good idea to connect iPods simultaneously if they are both auto-syncing).
Then, just click on her iPod in the Source List of iTunes, and go to the "Games" tab, to set up the syncing options.
Also, this article might help with instructions on syncing iTunes Store games to an iPod.

I am soon going to be purchasing a new ipod, so i was wondering if i can use my previous apple ID for my new ipod or if i have to create new apple ID and make a new itunes on my computer? (using windows)

Yes you can use the same AppleID for up to 10Devices. You can share all the purchases among all your devices.

How can I use my iPod nano on more than one computer?

How can I use my iPod nano on more than one computer?

Hi, China6450.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would recommend setting up Manually manage music. This will only allow music to be synced from the computer to the iPod nano. Here are some helpful articles that will walk you through the process.

Using More Than One iPod On One Computer

Hi everyone,
I am sure my question will be an easy one to answer for the right person - who will no doubt have more experience than Apple's helpline which I just tried.
I have a 60gb iPod with Colour display, which syncs with my iTunes (version 7.0) (currently at about 45gb) on a Windows XP machine. I have seen the new range of iPods and am very keen on getting one of the new Shuffles. My question is: can I use both iPods with the same iTunes, same music library, and on the same computer.
Any responses would be very gratefully received. If anyone happens to know what the student discount (as in how many %) is on the Apple Store then I'd also like to know.
Many thanks in advance,
Edd

Yes, you can use more than one iPod on the same computer.
If you don't want the same music on both, this article discusses two methods of setting it up:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432
My wife and I use Method Two in that article, and include the Recently Added smart playlist so that if either of us adds a song, it will be on both iPods for a few weeks.
The one thing to keep in mind is you will want to avoid having them both connected simultaneously. This article has more information:

Using Ipod Nano on more than one Comp

Can you use IPOD Nano on more than one computer? I tried but on my computer at work, I cannot transfer from IPOD to computer, only computer to IPOD
Please Help!!

I should be able to play it where ever I want
And you can. Just burn it to a data CD, or transfer it to the other computer using a thumb drive, or use networking to transfer it, or even use the Hard Drive feature of the iPod to transfer it. Nothing stops you from doing any of those, and then when it's on the other computer you can play it there just fine.

Use of same iTune for more than one iPod

I need to find out whether I can use the same itune in one computer for more than one iPod nano and one iPod video?

I looked at the article, but it doesn't help me know how once I have downloaded onto a nano, for example, the itunes knows that the next thing I connect is something different. My son hooked up his 20GB ipod last night after updating his sister's nano and now the itunes thinks his ipod is a nano. How do I get the itunes to recognize his ipod as the 20GB it is?

Using more than one IPOD with ITUNES?

A simple question but can i connect more than one IPOD to my ITUNES on my laptop? I am considering buying a IPOD for my gf (i already have a video IPOD) and we only have the one laptop in the house. I think i read somewhere that you cannot connect 2 IPODs but wanted to check before i buy it.

More than one Ipod on a single computer.

I just wanted to ask before I bought a Classic 80 gig if it is possible to have 2 seperate Ipods connected to a single computer with totally different music? The reason I ask is I have a 16 year old daughter and lets just say I really don't want to have to listen to her "choice" of music. Can I have 2 differnt lists of music so I can sync one with my music and she can keep hers syning with her choice? Also if it can be done how hard is it? I don't want anything that will be a total brain strain everytime I want to add a song or even to set up. Thanks in advance

Yes, you can connect more than one iPod to the same computer & iTunes library. You can manage what goes on to each iPod using simple playlists, one for you, one for your daughter. Just drag & drop items from the main menu to the relevant playlist and choose to sync selected playlists on each iPod.

How Can I Update More Than One Ipod on the Same Computer?

I've had my 30G Ipod since April 2006. For Christmas 2006, I bought my sister a 2G Ipod. I cannot figure out how to put songs on her Ipod as we both share the same computer and Itunes Library. I've already asked Ipod Corporate for help via their FAQ section regarding more than one Ipod operating with the same computer, but their advice (which told me to create a playlist small enough for her Ipod and checked as a shared playlist) did not work for me. I'd really appreciate any help with my problem. Owning an Ipod but being unable to listen to it, as I'm sure many people would agree, is quite annoying.

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 - 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
However since you seem to have a problem with that method 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
If you are unfamiliar with setting up Windows user accounts you can read more here: Using Windows XP User Accounts

More than one ipod to sync

I have two kids using one computer, both have an ipod with two different song lists...
Is it possible to sync separately and maintain their own stuff?

There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look at this article and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
Another option when using a single library is to set one or both of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod
Choosing the update option "Automatically update selected playlists only" in iTunes 6 or "Sync Music - Selected playlists" in iTunes 7 allows you to create a playlist specifically for each 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 by the other iPod. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod ( for example, around 3700MB for a 4GB or 1800MB for a 2GB Mini or Nano).

Can I have more than one ipod with more than music library on one computer

I was just wondering if i could have 2 different ipods (one a 5th generation and the other ipod touch) with 2 different music libraries on the same computer and itunes? because right now im using my parents computer and my fiance is using my laptop and we're moving so we'll only have one computer in the next few weeks. So if anyone could try to give me an answer or have a solution that would be fantastic lol!

See these articles about using more than one iPod on one computer, and with either one or more iTunes libraries.
Multiple iPod installations.
How to use multiple iPods with one computer.
If you have the latest iTunes, an easy way to create a new library is to hold down the 'alt' key whilst opening iTunes (for Macs), or hold down the 'shift' key (for Windows).
This will give you the option of either using the current iTunes library or creating a new one.
There are various methods of transferring different songs to different iPods with a single iTunes library.
One is to manage the songs manually.
With this setting, you can drag and drop songs/playlists etc onto the iPod from iTunes, and also delete and/or edit songs which are currently on the iPod without affecting the iTunes library.
If you wish to keep the convenience of automatic sync, then you could set the iPods to sync with "selected playlists". This setting can be found in the iPod summary screen under the 'music' tab. With this setting, different playlists can be transferred and later deleted from each iPod without affecting any playlists stored in iTunes or the playlists on the other iPods.
Also, on the 'summary' main page you will see the option to "only sync checked items". With this setting selected, if you remove the check marks from any songs in iTunes, they will not be transferred to the iPod. You can restore the check mark if you want to put the songs back on the iPod at a later date.
Be aware that when playing songs in iTunes, any songs that do not have a check mark against them will be skipped over and will not be played.
