Yes, they certainly can. There is no limit to the number of iPods you can have synced with one iTunes library or account.
2. Can each touch select certain items to sync or is it all of the apps?
Yes, you can set each of the iPods up to sync only certain apps. For more help on managing multiple iPods with one computer, I would check out this Apple support document. [How to use multiple iPods with one computer|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495]
3. If each had a separate account can each snyc to the other's touch?
Yes it is possible.

Multiple users under one itunes account

I have multiple mac's (both desktops and laptops) as well as multiple iphones and ipads at home. I am limited in itunes to only 5 devices - what should i do? set-up a different itunes account for my kids (but then they will not be able to access the music and movies that have already been purchased).
Unsure how to best set-up 4 people (with each having an iphone, ipad and mac) itunes.
Any suggestions?

Ideally, each will have their own iTunes account.
I am limited in itunes to only 5 devices
Each iTunes account is limited to 5 computers but 10 devices.
So you can have content from one iTunes account on 5 computers and also 5 iDevices.
set-up a different itunes account for my kids (but then they will not be able to access the music and movies that have already been purchased).
Yes, they will. Just authorize each computer for the other iTunes accounts.
Make sure you go to iTunes prefs > Store and disable Automatic downloads.
Also disable it on the iDevices in Settings > iTunes and App stores.
You can share content between users/libraries by using Home Sharing.
See this -> Understanding Home Sharing

Trouble loading multiple iPads with one iTunes account

I am trying to load the same exact information from ONE iTunes account to multiple iPads (4-6). I was able to sync the app and information I needed to ONE but when I try plugging any of the other iPads into my computer NOTHING happens. The computer doesn't recognize that I have plugged in the iPad nor does the iPad recognize it is plugged into the computer. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to use the same Apple ID for all of them. One has been synced and I am logged into the same Apple ID but the other 2 have been reset so they are like "new" iPads but my computer won't detect them.

Multiple computer users, one iTunes account

One computer, multiple users (each logon), one iTunes account. All songs are downloaded to D:. I want all songs downloaded by any user to show in everyones library. If I purchase a song how do I make it also show in other user's libraries?

Hudgie's advice is correct. But if you want more detailled instructions read this Apple document:

How to use multiple devices on one itunes account

I have one itunes account, three iphones and one itouch. How do we use the same itunes account be not share data, pictures, contacts etc?

Connect the iOS device, select it from the left column under "devices" and just don't check those items in iTunes:
Un-check the appropriate boxes for Contacts, etc. You can set these individual preferences for each iPhone and iPod Touch.

Multiple ATVs for one Itunes account

Trying to find out if I can use, say, 4 ATVs to stream the exact song or show from one computer (one itunes account) to multiple locations? Thanks!

It's not clear from your question whether you are asking about playing the same songs or videos on all the Apple TV's in sync or just being able to access the files to play.
The current situation is.
You can use home sharing to access files from one iTunes account on multiple Apple TV's. The only restriction here is your network speed.
In addition, using Airplay you can currently play a song and use multiple Apple TV's as remote speakers. This works very well in my experience and the synchronisation is very good. I don't see any problem with doing this on 4 Apple TVs unless you have a very slow network.
It is expected that Airplay will soon work with video as well. It seems that this will require an update to the Apple TV firmware and it's fairly likely that this will happen soon. Obviously due to video using more bandwidth, you are more likely to run into problems with the network speed if you are trying to involve 4 Apple TV's than you would with music.

Help needed with iMessage on multiple devices on one iTunes account

Hi, please can someone help. I have an iPhone 4S and my wife has an iPhone 4, we are using iMessage with one Apple ID with no problems (I presume as the messages are sent to the phone number), however I have purchased both my daughters an iPod Touch each for Christmas and want to set up iMessage for them so we can all message eachother. We will all be sharing one iTunes account so can share music / movie / app purchases. How do I set this up? Thanks in advance. Richard

However, when I connected my "fresh" iPad, it immediately started to sync (set to automatic sync), and started to put all my 100 or so iPod Touch apps to my iPad....They were all checked.
It's been a while since I connected a fresh iPad, but I believe that doing a full sync is the default. Stopping the sync and changing what apps you wanted was the correct procedure.
So, next time I connect the iPad, it "knows" which apps need to synced, and does not try to sync "all" apps?
Correct. I do that all the time with my two iPads, each of which have a different set of apps, music, videos, etc.
Regards.

Can i sync more than 1 ipod touch with one itunes account?

I have two ipod touches, one for each of my kids, and i would like to know if i can use one itunes account for both of their ipods. Do I need 1 account per device? Also, as they don't have an email account, do i need to create an email account for the itunes account to work?

mate, just use one account for both, and create a playlist each, so that they have the songs that they specifically want, or they could probably both just have all of the music, it doesnt take much space up. And yeah, just have one E-mail account for the one itunes account, you could probably just use yours, or if not, your going to have to create another one. My whole family uses the one acoount, and it doesnt bother us, it also doesnt send me any emails, so its fine to use my account

Multiple cloud with one iTunes account

My wife and I share an iTunes account so our iPhones just show up as separate devices. Can we set up two iCloud accounts withing this one iTunes account so that we can back up our iPhones to the cloud independent of each other?

Yes, there is a way to use the new apple id with iMessage. First, go into your settings on your iOS device and click on Messages. Then, click on recieve at in the messages settings. You can then click on your apple id at the top and signout. After, log into your new account. Your other option is to click add another email and enter your new email for iCloud.

Settings > iCloud > Sign in with the desired Apple ID.
Settings > iTunes & App Store > Sign in with the desired Apple ID.
The two above can be different Apple IDs, mine are.

TS1474 Syncing multiple iphones from one itunes account

My wife and I each have our own iphones. We use just one itunes account on our main computer at home. We each have our own apple ID's.
My question is this: Whenever we try to sync our phones to itunes, this screen appears
I have NO IDEA whaich of these to choose, because I have no idea, what's on each of these backups!!! Invariably, I end up syncing to something I don't want, and having to totally redo all my apps, contacts etc... My Wife's facebook contacts seem to always wind up on my phone! Help!!
How do you keep backups up to date and organized?

If you want to continue using one computer, you should at least give each iPhone a name.
Settings > General > About > Name: give each iPhone a unique name.

Syncing multiple Iphone to one Itunes account

I would like to know up to how many Iphones can we sync with just one Itunes account ?
I need to update 13 to 14 Iphones periodically

You can sync as many devices as you want to the same iTunes account, there is no limit. You can have the same content on each device or different content, the choice is yours. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, upon subsequent syncs.

Setting Up Multiple iPhones On One iTunes Account

Our business supplies iPhones to our technicians out in the field and I've set each phone up under the same iTunes account.
Can someone please help me out on the below things that I need to be able to manage?
I need to be able to back up each iPhone to the work iTunes account on a regular basis, so that I can restore the data if needed. (Windows pc)Is this just a matter of plugging the phones in and setting up as a new iPhone and giving each one a individual name (tech 1, tech 2 etc)? I know it will mean that they'll loose all data and I'll have to set each one up again.
I would like it if each of the phones can share any apps purchased (music is not used but some productivity apps have and will be purchased)
I need to ensure that none of the phones share any user sensitive data (messages etc)
I had a massive issue with all the phones recently - They were duplicating iMessages accross all the technicians phones.
I've rectified this by disabling iMessages, but is there some way i can allow them to have iMessage without all the phones (which are on the same work iTunes account) duplicating messages or any other user sensitive data?
Thanks in advance!

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.
Note: The essence of the above was created by user, randers. I have made substantial changes to improve readability and syntax.

Apps per "playlist"? Using multiple devices to one itunes account.

Hi,
Perhaps it's a silly question...but I run into a sync issue.
we have itunes running on one PC, and have two ipod touches and one ipad, all under the same apple account.
When I synced my new ipad, itunes tried to sync all my 100+ ipod apps on my pc to my ipad....That was not the idea, so I cancelled and put the apps I wanted (10 or so) on my ipad "by hand"
Is there a way to create lists (playlists?) with apps PER device? So that you can only sync that specific list to that specific ipod or ipad?
Thx, FF

However, when I connected my "fresh" iPad, it immediately started to sync (set to automatic sync), and started to put all my 100 or so iPod Touch apps to my iPad....They were all checked.
It's been a while since I connected a fresh iPad, but I believe that doing a full sync is the default. Stopping the sync and changing what apps you wanted was the correct procedure.
