My sister wants to connect her new ipod to the computer that my nano is on.
K my sister just got a new ipod shuffle and wants to connect it to the computer. my nano is already connected to the same computer she wants to use.
How do i put it on the computer without messing up my itunes?
Please help if you can
iTunes will recognize that it is a different device. However, if you're worried that your sister is going to rate songs differently than you would like, well that's different. See if this article offers any guidance:

When I connect my new Ipod to the computer it freezes and I must wait a long time. What should I do?
My Ipod freezes when I connect it to the laptop. Then I cannot do anything with it for a long time. Can you help me with this?
Check your iPod with Diagnostics Mode
It's possible that your iPod's hard drive has started to fail. Take your iPod and place your right thumb on the centre SELECT button and your left on the top MENU button. Press down both thumbs for about 6 seconds until your iPod reboots. Immediately move your left thumb around to the rewind button |<< on the left and hold this down together with SELECT for a further 6 seconds. Your iPod should now switch into Diagnostic Boot mode. Press MENU for Manual Test, then select IO > HardDrive > HDSMARTData to reveal your stats. For comparison here are mine taken when my 6th Generation Classic was about 2 years old:
Retracts: 889
Reallocs: 12
Pending Sectors: 0
PowerOn Hours: 2202
Start/Stops: 894
Temp: Current 24c
Temp: Min 10c
Temp: Max 50c
Take a note of your results. When finished press SELECT & MENU for 6 seconds to reset the iPod again.
With modern disc drives sectors are no longer marked bad by a disc scan, if the SMART firmware detects a sector it has trouble accessing it will attempt to invisibly reallocate it to a spare area of the disc.
Note that I've only 12 remapped sectors and none pending. To help explain what the numbers mean here is an extract from the Wikipedia S.M.A.R.T. article:
Reallocated Sectors Count
Count of reallocated sectors. When the hard drive finds a read/write/verification error, it marks this sector as "reallocated" and transfers data to a special reserved area (spare area). This process is also known as remapping, and "reallocated" sectors are called remaps. This is why, on modern hard disks, "bad blocks" cannot be found while testing the surface – all bad blocks are hidden in reallocated sectors. However, as the number of reallocated sectors increases, the read/write speed tends to decrease. The raw value normally represents a count of the number of bad sectors that have been found and remapped. Thus, the higher the attribute value, the more sectors the drive has had to reallocate.
Pending sector count
Number of "unstable" sectors (waiting to be remapped, because of read errors). If an unstable sector is subsequently written or read successfully, this value is decreased and the sector is not remapped. Read errors on a sector will not remap the sector (since it might be readable later); instead, the drive firmware remembers that the sector needs to be remapped, and remaps it the next time it's written.
Large numbers of Reallocs or Pending Sectors would suggest your drive is failing and that you may need to repair or replace your iPod. Check your stats after another attempt to update your iPod. If the numbers increase that again points to hard drive failure. While it won't be good news at least you'll know it isn't some random software problem and you can decide what to do next.

Connecting a new ipod to my computer- Getting error message
Hope someone can help me with this one...I am trying to download music from my computer to my new ipod (have another one too) and am getting the following error message:
"The IPOD "SHABNAMS" can not be used because it requires itunes Version 7.0 or later. Go to itunes.com to download the latest version of itunes or install itunes from the cd that came with your ipod."
I have version 7.0 downloaded already and was even able to sync the ipod with my laptop, but I keep getting the message above with my desktop computer.
Any ideas onw hat to do?
Thanks!1. Is there anything I need to do before I connect this new iPod to my iBook and do an update?
No. Simply plug it in.
2. Will my iTunes library freakout if it sees a new iPod connected?
No. It will ask if you want to link the iTunes Library to this new iPod. Just say Yes.
3. Will I be able to name this iPod anything I want and not create a conflict when I plug my own iPod later?[/b
Yes, no problem.
4. Would I be better off creating a new user in my PB, then connect/update the new iPod?
Not if you are only gonna connect the iPod one or two times. -
Is there anybody out there who can tell me what I`m doing wrong? I`ve just bought this Ipad1, mostly for the kids to play with, but I still want it to work properly.
I first got the message that apple mobile device wasn`t activated. I did activate, and now I get the message that I have to download a never version of iTunes. The version on the computer is the newest, but what`s on my Ipad? No clue. But it`s updatet to the newest IOS 5, so i guess iTunes is updated too?? Or?
Anything I can do to fix this? It`s pretty annoying if I can say so...!
RegardsThere's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them: -
Connecting an new ipod to a new macbook
My friend just bought a macbook a wants to connect his new ipod which he used on a windows computer until now. It appears on the desktop, he can open it but it wont show his music files. Tried to consolidate the files to the library but it doesnt happen.
Any suggestions
AlThen I suggest that your first priority before you do anything else is to try and get the songs off the iPod and into iTunes. As the iPod is showing up on the desktop one of these methods may work. There's a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to your Mac at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
If you prefer something more automated there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others as well, they are generally quite straightforward.

If you can get the songs backed up, try connecting the iPod back to a Windows PC and restoring it. Restoring will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings and with a fresh installation you may have more success getting the iPod to connect to iTunes on the Mac: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings with iTunes 7 -
Connecting my new ipod to my old ipods itunes
i have just bought a new ipod nano, how can i connect it to my old ipods itunes making sure that all my songs wont be deleted? i recently tried to move my itunes from my PC to my laptop and all my songs disappeared!!! how can i make sure this doesnt happen again? i was not happy last time!! what did i do wrong?
If you are adding a second iPod for your own use, just connect your new iPod to your computer and follow the on screen instructions to register and name it. It will connect to iTunes and prompt you to automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like. You can leave it at manual update or choose to sync music - selected playlists.
By the way, I presume that your profile is wrong and that you are not really using Windows Me, neither iTunes or the Nano will work with this operating system. -
Transferring from my new ipod to another computer
Is it possible to transfer all of my music from my new ipod to another computer that I have? I copied all of my CD's on my home computer & now I am connected to my other computer which has my old music library on it.....is it posssible to have your library on two computers?

Connecting a 2nd iPod to my computer
I have the iPod Nano already connected to my computer. I bought my husband the same one. Can we have both iPod's connected to the same computer?
Like I said before, you can connect 2 iPods to one computer. However, there are multiple options. If you don't care whether some of his songs are on your iPod, and vice versa, you can use the same user on the computer. Now... If you each want your own library, there's two ways you can set this up: #1 - Create a new user on the computer, and install iTunes 7 there. Then, one of you use one user, and the other can use the created one. The songs can be different on in iTunes on either user, it'w a whole new library. #2 - If you don't want to create a new user on the computer, you can set your iPods to "manually update songs" so that iTunes doesn't automatically put all the songs in the library on the iPod. With this method, you have to manually drag songs you want from iTunes to your iPod icon in iTunes. That way, you can selectively put your songs on your ipod and he can put his on his iPod using the same library.
Hope this helps -
my daughter wants to move some of her music she bought on itunes for her shuffle to her new ipod touch. how do i get this going?
The music should still be in her iTunes Library - the one she uses to put music on the Shuffle. Simply connect the new iPod to that iTunes library, make the choices she wants for syncing the music to the iPod (which I guess, may now include putting all her music onto the iPod, since it has more storage capacity) and press Sync.
Future Syncs with that Library will cause any changes of the Library to be copied to the iPod. Note that music is (or should be) copied to the iPod, not moved. There are two reasons for having the music in the Library:
makes it easier to put the music onto a newer iPod, such as now;
if or when the iPod needs a Restore, which will delete everything from the iPod, you will need to copy "the Library" back onto the same iPod. -

We recently purchased a new ipod nano for our daughter. She has downloaded songs on my computer under my itunes account that she wishes to load onto her ipod. How do I proceed?
Hi, not sure whether this will work and you may have tried it already. Also could do with more details to help you.
If you want to use the same itunes library with more than one ipod you can choose to manually sync them in itunes. This allows you to copy only the songs you want to each ipod. To do this, click on the ipod name in itunes when you connect it and choose the "manually sync" option towards the bottom of the screen. You don't have to manually sync both of them.
The problem with purchased songs is that they have to be authorized to play on a PC. When you purchase and download with your account the song can be played in your itunes but not in another itunes unless you enter your itunes account password when attempting to play the song. You can do that for up to 5 computers. iPods don't count as computers though.
If you also use an ipod and it is synced with your itunes you will be able to play anything downloaded into your itunes that is authorized to play with in your itunes on your ipod (you probably have to have purchased it with your account though). If you connect your daughters ipod, itunes will recognise that it is not synced with itunes and ask you if you want to do that. If you say yes her ipod will be completely over written with your itunes library at this point. So if she has music on it from somewhere else you should say no.
If you select no, you can choose to manually update her ipod which will allow her to create playlists or copy over only songs she wants on her ipod.
That will be ok for anything you have converted to mp3 from a CD. For purchased songs I would think that if there is already an ipod synced with itunes she will probably not be able to play them but I don't know for certain.
As an ipod doesn't count as one of the 5 machines that you are permitted to authorize to play a purchased song you probably won't be given the opportunity to enter your password to say it's ok to play those songs on her ipod. For them to just play anyway would defeat the object of the authorization.
However, if you do not already have an ipod synced with itunes then there should be no reason why the purchased songs wont play on your daughters ipod. She could sync her ipod automatically with your itunes but if she does she will have to put up with your music as well on her ipod!
The problem with doing it that way would be that if you later purchased your own ipod yours would then not be able to play songs you bought for yourself as your daughters ipod would be the one recognised as connected to that account. (I am not completely certain that purchased songs wont play on more than one ipod, so you could try it and see anyway if you do have your own).
Perhaps a better way to proceed in future would be to create a user id/account on your pc/mac for your daughter. This will create a separate itunes library for her. I believe that it would be possible for you to purchase songs for her using your itunes store account that would then be downloaded into her itunes library and which should therefore play on her ipod when it is synced with her itunes library. To do that you would log on to the itunes store from her itunes and enter your itunes store id to authorize payment for downloaded stuff. I believe there is an option to require password authorization every time a purchase is made or to allow purchases without a password so you would be able to control expenditure with the former!!
Of course if your daughter has her own pc you could do exactly the same with her itunes on her pc i.e. pay for songs for her with your itunes store account.
Hope that helps! Let me know how it goes!

Its taken me ages to get where i am in some of those games!!
Yes. Connect your current iPod to your computer and perform a back up of it via iTunes. Then connect your new iPod Touch and you should be asked whether or not you want to restore from a backup of it or not. See this article for more information.

Replaced old ipod want existing music on new ipod
Can anyone please tell me how I get my existing library onto my new I-Pod? Thanks
Is the music in iTunes? If it is just connect the new iPod to your computer and follow the on screen instructions to register and name it. It will update from your existing library. Depending on the size of your library and the type of iPod you choose you can have it update all songs and playlists, selected playlists only or you can manage it manually.
If you only have the songs on the old iPod you need to return them to your computer. Connect your iPod to your computer. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
