Nano and mini ipod both in itunes?

Hi I have a previous thread running on itunes not recognising my daughters nano. which is still ongoing. Im about to unstall i-tunes and reinstall all all other tips given have not worked. however one daughter has a mini ipod the other a nano and both were storing and using the same i-tunes.
is this the cause of may problems they have been working okay together for some time. i have noticed also that i have 5 i-pod updaters in my programs would this cause a problem
any advise would be apprecaited
regards
DD

Hi Dennis
the problem with the nano has resulted in many hours spent unistalling and re-installing both i-tunes and nano. the result of which is the nano is going back to apple as there tech support could not solve the issue.
i thought that have both in might be the problems but from what you say this is not the case.
thanks for your input, much appreciated
regards
Graham

IPod nano and mini connectors

Are the nano and mini connectors interchangeable?

I'm not sure I understand your question. Do you mean to ask if the iPod nano and the iPod mini use the same type of connector? Then, yes, they do use the same type of connector.
However, there are a couple of differences between the two iPod models. For example, if you have a FireWire cable connected to your dock or an iPod cable with a FireWire connection, you will only be able to charge your iPod nano. The iPod nano requires a USB connection to sync songs or pictures.

Have Ipon Nano and Mini, Mini is not recognized when pluged into USB.

I have a Ipod Nano and Mini. The Nano works correctly. But when I plug the Mini in I dont get anything, not even a battery charging icon. But, when I plug it into the USB on the back of the computer in stead of the front the computer just beeps.

Yes that is correct
Okay. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

2 Ipods nano and 2 Ipods shuffle broken running

I have 2 Ipods nano and 2 Ipods shuffle and all of them stopped working. These Ipods were bought to running and two of them I bought 3 months ago. What can Apple do to help me? Because I won't buy from you anymore if this keeps happening, its ridiculous. The Ipods are proper for running, they had to have some protection to humidity, I didn't throw water on them. They stopped working on the day after the running. I don't know what to do. Its to delicate. I spent 500 USD because here in Brazil is expensive and it doesn't work anymore!

by guess a format of C: will work, but is there any other way something got corrupt in XP that prevents the mounting of external media. iPod, Flash, Ext HD, all fail. Its the PC or something with the PC.
Thanks

Need info on 2 ipods on one computer...2nd gen nano and mini

We have one computer but 2 ipods...2nd gen nano and a mini.
I have a few questions about how to make sure the playlists are separate...just general information.
where can I find this information?
Thanks,
Cbaire

Not sure who penned this solution, but it definitely DOES NOT work. At least for me. I had an Ipod Nano on my account, then bought my wife one. When she initially tried to use it, it read my itunes, and wanted to burn all my songs onto her ipod. I read this and she already had a user account set up, but when you use (or try to use) the ipod under her account, it does nothing when plugged in. You cannot download a version of itunes either, as if there is any version of itunes recognized on the computer (anywhere), it will not allow a 2nd download, even if you want to store it elsewhere. Not sure why this is such an issue, as I am sure there are thousands of families out there with more than one ipod on a single computer. Seems pretty basic.

Can i use ipod nano and mini on same computer?

we have an ipod nano. works great. daughter is trying to use an ipod mini and we get a message that itunes cannot communicate with device and that we need to reinstall itunes. Is there a compatibility problem here? Can we use a nano and a mini on the same computer?
THANKS!

You may need to update iTunes to work with the second generation nano; updating iTunes will not erase anything from your library, and it will continue to work with the iPod mini.

I just got an ipod nano and i went to use itunes. I noticed that my boyfriend already had account on my computer. I was able to put in my email and purchase a few songs however it will not sync to my nano. I went to devices and it will not sync.

I just got an ipod nano and noticed i had Itunes on my computer. My boyfriend had downloaded it for him a while ago on the computer with his own music. I went on the account and downloaded some music but it will not let me sync it to my nano. I believe that must be because it is his account. I went to the control pannel to uninstall the program (with his permission hehe) and re downloaded it. All of his stuff came back up. I am not able to sync anything to my nano thanks for any input!

Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes has no affect on the media on the computer or the account it is linked to.
If the media was purchased under another iTunes account, then it is permanently tied to that account.

Tried to restore iPod nano and keep getting connect to iTunes

Have not used my nano in some time. connected it to computer and at first it was recognized, but when I went to restore to factory settings i got an error message and now a message on the iPods screen says to connect to iTunes to restore. My computer is no longer seeing this iPod and i have tried everything to shut it off by holding power button down and it appears frozen. My warranty and support has been expired for some time. Is it trash? or does anyone know what I could do. I don't want to pay the 29.00 incident fee if I don't have to.

Try putting it in Disk Mode

If it goes into Disk Mode, run iTunes on the computer and connect iPod. iTunes should prompt you to do a Restore. Hopefully, the iPod will function properly after this Restore.

How to connect multiple nanos and minis to one computer and share content

I have 3 iPod nano's and 1 iPod mini in my house and would like to make a central repository of music on one computer that can be shared across nanos where users can select all or some of the available tunes. How can I do this?

You could use the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" would allow you to create a playlist specifically for each 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 by the other iPods. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod ( for example, around 3700MB for a 4GB or 1800MB for a 2GB Mini or Nano). You can read more about playlists at these links:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
To select the update option.
iTunes 6
Connect your iPod to your computer and when it appears in the Source list go to Edit>iTunes>Music Tab (iTunes>Preferences>Music tab on a Mac).
Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
iTunes 7
Connect your iPod to your computer and when it appears in the Source list click on it to show the preference tabs in the main pane. Choose the following option and click "Apply".
Sync Music - Selected playlists. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer. You'll find this in the Music Tab.

Nano and Mini on the same computer

Can Nano and a mini co-exist on the same computer? My son got a Nano for christmas and installed it under his ID on the computer (XP). Now my i-Tunes doesn't recognize my i-Pod mini. Anyone have a solution?

I just got a new Iphone 4. My husband already has an iphone 4 and an Ipod touch, with itunes set up on 2 different computers. How can I access the songs on either of his itunes accounts?

How do I get access to Itunes if my husband has already downloaded itunes on our 2 computers and his iphone 4 is the device for one computer and the ipod touch is the device for the second? I have already set up my own itunes account, but it doesn't recognize my phone on either of the computers. Do I need to down load a second itunes software on the computer just for my new device. That would seem ridiculous considering we are married and share all of the music together. Please help

There is no "adding" a device. Simply plug the iDevice into the computer. iTunes should automatically detect the device when it is connected.
iTunes can sync/manage as many iDevices as you want... there is no 1 device limit.

How can I import my playlist from a nano and an iphone 3 into itunes?

HT204074 I have an iPod nano and I had purchased from iTunes random songs and downloaded lots of my personal albums and now they are gone from my iTunes account and they are in SyncUp. I never meant for that to happen. How do I get them back to my iTune

I have an iPod nano. Somehow an update for SyncUp appeared and I updated it. Now all the music from my iTunes account including songs I purchased and my own personal albums are all on SyncUp. I definitely did not want that to happen. How do I get my music back to my iTunes account? Thank you.

iTunes and Apple's devices work as an ecosystem. iTunes is designed to sync with Apple's products, not anyone else's. You'll need your songs in a format compatable with the Samsung phone and to use the software transfer program supplied/recommended. It is essentially not an Apple/iTunes problem. You may have better luck finding the information you need on Samsung's forums.
