my 2 children have an ipod touch each, do i need 2 seperate itunes accounts
No. but you need another mail address if they what to keep their FaceTinme and Messages separate. See:
MacMost Now 653: Setting Up Multiple iOS Devices For Messages and FaceTime
However,without different account there Contacts and Calendar would be shared. You have to create different/another ID to separate them. However, you can still use one ID for the iTunes and App stores so they can share music and apps. Just make sure that in Settings>iTunes and App stores the some account is used. If you tap on the Apple ID you can sign signout and sign into another account.

I have an ipod touch but i don't have enough memory and 0I get an upgrade soon for my phone and i want the iphone but the thing is, can i have an ipod touch and an iphone on the same itunes account like can i use my money on my ipod account for my iphone
Your iPhone and iPod can share the same iTunes account. Apps can be freely shared and used by one or both devices. You can't use money in your iTunes account to pay for your phone, but purchased apps can be used by both the iPod and iPhone.

I have just got a 5s from work to replace my Crapberry at last. I have an exsisting Itunes account for my personal Iphone 5. which I will keep. Is it OK to have both on the single Itunes account or should I set up a seperate Itunes for the work phone?
That's up to you, unless your employer requires differently. You can sync as many devices as you want to the same iTunes account. You can have the same content on each device or different content, again the choice is yours.
If you decide to setup a separate Apple ID/iTunes account for this phone, I recommend you also setup a different user account on your computer & use that account/iTunes for the phone. Do that, & there's no way the data can get mingled. -
I have 3 iphones, an ipod touch and an Ipad on the same itunes account. should I have a different account for each device? If so how do I get all my purchases, like music on all the devices?
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, including separate backups. I'd suggest giving each device a unique name, to make things easier.

i have an ipod touch 5th gen and when connected to itunes i get a message saying itunes was unable to load data class information from sync services. reconnect or try again later. anyone got any ideas? i've tried most things on most forums but still no joy
Try here:
iTunes for Windows: "Unable to load data class" or "Unable to load provider data" sync services alert
If not successful see the previous discussion on the right side of this page with the green checkmark. -
I have an iPod touch and an iPad on the same apple account. If I purchase the same album on both devices without syncing to my computer will I be charged twice?
Yes. You're supposed to move it to the second device from the computer and not redownload it from the iTunes Store.

I have an iPod Touch version iOS 4.2.1, 8 G capacity, and whenever iTunes tries to sync my iPod, I get an error message saying "Mobile Backup has encountered a problem and needs to close", and the sync fails. I have tried deleting and reinstalling iTunes, and the same thing happens. What can I do to fix this problem?

I purchased an Ipod Nano from someone yesterday. How do I register it in my name and unregister the previous owner. I have a 4th gen Ipod touch and was told I could add songs from my library to the nano but we can't seem to do anything with it. HELP please!!
Connect it to your computer and restore it as a new device. Then chose what music you want to sync with it and do so just like your Touch does.

The left side of my screen quit working any idea what the price on a replacement costs?
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

I recently got a new computer and a new iTunes account. How do I transfer all of the content from my iPod Touch to my new library without it syncing and deleting everything? Thanks!
The sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases
You need to copy everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
The ipod is ot a backup device. It simply irrors the selected content of your computer. -

Can 2 users have the same email login with different passwords for seperate itunes accounts
My daughter is currently using the home email address for her account and i have just purchased an ipad. I would like a seperate account. Is it possible to use the same email address as the login and have two accounts.
Thanks
Tracey (a mum who is trying to catch up with technology)It is possible to have two different Apple ID accounts and have a common contact email address, if that is what you are asking. The potential problem is that the Apple ID is in the form of an email address so it can cause some confusion. It would probably be best to actually own the email addresses that match the account IDs.
