More than one ipod in the family. Help please.

my daughter got an ipod touch for Christmas and I added her under my apple account.  Now MY ipod has everything she puts on hers. (I have over 800 photos- hunger games related lol)  When I try to sync my ipod on the computer, it shows up as her ipod name. How can I get my ipod back without losing her/my stuff?

Go to Settings>iCloud and turn off PhotoStream to prevent getting here photos
Got to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and turn off Automatic Downloads to prevent getting her purchases
For FaceTime and Messages see:

Go to Settings>General>About and change the Name of the iPod to yours. When you then sync make sue that yo only check the items that you want synced to your iPod.

    Why can't I setup more than one ipod with the same e-mail account?

    Not really sure what you are doing that this doesn't work...I have an iPhone, iPad and iPod all using the same email account without any conflicts.  Can you explain a littl about what you are trying to do that isn't being allowed?

  • 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

  • Can you have more than one ipod on the same computer?

    me and my sister live together and we would like to be able to have two seperate libraries on the same computer. one library is already there and when the second ipod is plugged in, it comes up as a sub-library that is unacessable.

    There are basically two ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
    a) Sharing a single iTunes library and or user account or
    b) Creating multiple user accounts.
    Note: When you are sharing an iTunes library, you don't have to set each iPod to update in the same manner, you can mix and match from the options below as each iPod has it's own update settings
    Sharing a Library and/or User Account
    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
    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
    Loading the iPod shuffle differs slightly but it can still be used with the others, for details have a look at this page: Loading songs onto iPod shuffle - Windows
    It's also possible to have multiple libraries in a single account. 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. This can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library:
    Using multiple iTunes libraries -Windows
    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
    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:

  • More than one iphone in the family

    Currently, I have an iphone, and of course iTunes and also mobileme.
    My wife now wants an iphone for herself. Can she share my itunes to sync her phone?? Or does she need a separate itunes?? What about mobile me?? Can she share my mobileme, or does she need a separate account with mobileme?

    If you are going to share mobileme contacts, everything will be fine. You can share mobileme calendars, but will by syncing both of your calendars to all devices, so this might not be desirable. You can sync the mobileme email to two phones, but if you each want a separate email address, you'll need to get a second mobileme account, or a family pack.

  • How do I sync more than one Ipod on Itumes (MS Version)

    Hi everyone.
    I have two different Ipods that I want to sync to the same computer, but with different music. I use one Ipod in the car and another at night to listen to relaxing music. Is there anyway to sync more than one Ipod on the same computer so that both have different files on them?
    Thanks for any suggestions!

    I used to have two computer, aech one with a diferent IPods. Both are now broken. I get two new computers, MacBook and IMac.
    *Question: Can I sync my two IPods in both computers without loosing my songs and how?* Remember, I lost all my info in the old computer, everything that I have is in those IPods.

  • 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:

  • 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.

  • More than one ipod - help

    Can more than one ipod device be managed from a single computer? More importantly, can separate music libraries be used? I want to keep my music separate from my child's music, for a number of reasons. Thank you all in advance for your help.

    I dont think you can make seperate libraries, but you can just make a seperate playlist for you and your child. When you want to add a song to either playlist, just click and drag from the main library.
