My second ipod (here we go again)

Well I didn't think I would ever do it, but I bought another ipod. I posted on here several times about trouble with my first one not being recognized by windows (usb device not recognized) Finally took it to an apple store in Cincy (80 miles away). They said the port on the bottom of was broken, and for $120 they could send it out and have it fixed. Or I could turn it in to be recycled and get a whopping 10% off a new one. So what the heck, why pay that much to get it fixed, when I could just get a new one. So I bought a new U2 edition, worked great for a month, then it crashed. The screen said I need to restore it, so I tried, all I got was an eror message saying... "There was a problem downloading the ipod software for the ipod. The requested resource was not found." So I called tech support and talked to them for over 2 hours with no luck. I kept saying that it seems to be a problem on their end if the software is not available to download, but they had me try everything from making a new windows account to dancing around it chanting in some native language that I didn't even understand, and of course never got anywhere. So, I drove back to the apple store (80 miles) (total miles now 320). The guy restored it in 5 minutes and I was out of there. Great. Then 5 hours later it crashes again, same thing when I try to restore, ..."There was a problem downloading the ipod software for the ipod. The requested resource was not found." So what should I do drive another 160 miles round trip to get it restored again? Waste another 2 hours on the phone? Or go and get my money back and give up?

You could exchange it.
Before you do try a couple of things. 1st, check the settings on your firewall to be sure you aren't being blocked. 2nd, delete the iPod Photo Cache on your computer. 3rd, if that doesn't work, reformat your iPod in Windows (FAT32, not a quick format) then try to Restore in iTunes.
Also, be sure the Temp directory on your computer is empty and finally, try this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304309

Purchased music on one iPod Touch gets attached to second iPod Touch.

I have one account and 6 devices. iCloud has been disabled... and I do not want it enabled. I particularly hate it!
The issue is:
We have two iPod Touches that are G1 and G2, two iPod Touches that are Gen 5 with the latest updates to iOS, and we also have two iPod Nanos. There is no issues with the old iPod Touches nor the iPod Nanos.
On my iTunes I have separate folders for each iPod, named accordingly. In those folders are the music that those iPods are to be loaded with. The issue comes with the 5th Generation iPod Touches where it will sync all of the music in our appropriate folders, however, there is also music that was purchased on one iPod Touch 5th Gen that automatically gets attached to the second iPod Touch 5th Gen. No matter what I try it remains on both iPods and it is not wanted.
I took the iPod that doesn't want the music (my husband's) and restored factory settings on it and then when I set it up again... the unwanted music is still there. I did this after syncing the device 2 or 3 times with just syncing the selected folders. It took me awhile to figure out that all of the music that is deemed "unwanted" is purchases that I made on my iPod Touch Gen 5 and automatically showed up on my husband's.
What do I have to do to get rid of the music on his iPod? Set up his own ID? If so... that only affects purchases correct? Meaning, he can still sync with our iTunes folders on our home computer but if he were to purchase a song on his iPod, he would have to submit credit card info etc, otherwise the same thing would happen and both iPods would have the purchased music.
I may have answered my own question, but I would like it confirmed before I set up new ID's and delete anymore items from his iPod.
Thank you

Illaass: I didn't try this... is this on the iPod itself? I'm just wondering though, where I've already put the device back to factory a couple of times and then tried syncing just his list and those songs still popped up. If I delete everything and re-sync, wouldn't it do it again? I'll try it tonight and let you know.
PS: Chris CA: Originally I did have the clouds, but I got rid of them. It didn't change anything though. Purchased music still there. Funny thing... I can purchase off my old iPod and it does not automatically go to mine nor my husband's new iPods, but if I purchase on the new iPods, it'll go to both new ones but not to the old ones. I'm assuming this has something to do with the iOS.
I'll be back tomorrow to let you guys know how I made out with the deleting thing. Thank you so much for all of your help and suggestions. At least the iPods work. He's just cranky because he doesn't like some of my music choices so he doesn't want them on his iPod. LOL

I just purchased a new ipod touch so now I have two. I do not want the second ipod touch to sync the same as the old ipod touch - 2 people with 2 different music preferences. How do I keep them separate.

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

TS1399 My ipod will not booot up, it continues to blink the apple logo, and i dont know what to do. Also i have a second ipod touch 4th generation and it is llocked and needs to be connected to itunes, but wont even be reconized, i no longer have the orig

My second ipod touch wont connect to itunes/be recononized it is totally locked.. i looked at videos on the internet, and they say connect it to the FIRST computer that it was connected to,, the only thing is i no longer have that computer... so what do i do

For both
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. If you have IOS-7, read this.

My tween's ipod message is "ipod is disabled try again in 21,565,420 minutes" How do I fix this?
I"m far, far, far from a techy! Thanks!

Connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore via iTunes. If iTunes asks for the passcode and you can't enter the passcode or you dod not have the syncing computer, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
This is covered in the manual and you can get that here:

What is the best way to sync a second Ipod (7th generation nano) to itunes

What is the easiest way to sync a second Ipod (7th gerneration nano)? I want all my songs on both ipods.

iTunes treats each iPod separately, so you can set up each iPod's syncing as desired, without regard to the other one. You can connect them both at the same time, and set them up differently or identically.
Here is a convenient way to set up automatic syncing, and in your case, keep both iPods in sync with each other.
I want all my songs on both ipods.
First, if your entire iTunes music library ("all of my songs") fits on the iPod, it will be easy. Select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary). Click on Music there. Set it to Sync Music. Below that, chose to sync Entire music library. Apply the change. Your entire music library syncs to your iPod. Repeat for other iPod. Any changes you make to your iTunes music library going forward syncs automatically to your iPods, when you connect them (or click the Sync button).
Otherwise, if your music library does not fit (or you want to be more selective), you need to set up the Music tab, but choose to sync Select playlists, artists, albums, and genres. This is where you can keep it simple...
Create a new regular playlist in iTunes, and name it something like "iPod Songs." Add ALL of the songs you want on your iPod to that playlist. Back on the Music tab, find and select ONLY that new playlist under Playlists. Apply the change. The songs on that playlist sync to your iPod. Repeat for other iPod. Going forward, when you want to update songs on your iPods, just update that playlist (add and remove songs). Changes you make to that playlist sync automatically to your iPods, when you connect them (or click the Sync button).

Add a second ipod

i have two kids, one computer. each has an ipod. how do i set up a second ipod on the computer?
thanks for your help!

Plug the second iPod in to the computer and go through the iPod Setup Assistant; if that iPod is newer than the version of iTunes installed, updating iTunes may be necessary to get full functionality from that iPod. If you want to transfer different music to each iPod, see here for options.

My second ipod classic (120g) cannot draw in music

I have my first ipod classic (120),it work well.
Recently I boung my second ipod classic for my wife.
Both we want to use same itune library which build by my first ipod, but we want some different contents between these two ipod.
I found when my second ipod connecting with itunes, I cannot draw music in, from
itune library which make by first one.
After I upgraded itune software to 8.0.2, finally I found some musics can be drowed in, but some musics cannot.
But My first ipod always work normally.
I bring this second ipod to the two ipod shops which near my home, it shows ok, every music can be drawed in. So they told me they cannot help me.
Would you please give me some idea?

Here is so cold, nobody want to help me.
Any, I solved this issue by myself.
Some music can be draw to ipod, and some music cannot, just due to the link
betwwen musics and itune was destoried. So that if you want to draw the musics
which link destoried, it not allow you to do because it cannot link to the target music.
To solve it is quite simple, if your itune folder still keep all music fles.
If you had same issue, please follow the following step carefully.
1. Back up your itune folder to safety place, like other hard disk or folder.
* This is very important step, without it you may lost all you have.
2. Delete all music

HT1495 I have just purchased a second ipod and have 2 computers can i use one ipod on each computer with the same account. I have a different playlist on my second computer. Thanks,

I have just purchased a second ipod and have two computers w7 and xp, can i use one on each computer with the same account. I have a different playlist on my second computer. Thanks.

Sorry to ask, how do I do it please. I have my first ipod with the same account on both computers that have different libraries one of which I am building now. Do I have to de-authorise my original ipod on the computer that I want to use my new ipod on with the new library and then register my new ipod. I would rather do this than have 2 libraries on one itunes, but keep the same account details.

My second ipod (here we go again)
