Need Help Managing 2 iPods.

Hello everyone, I have had an iPod nano for a while now, ive collected a large library of movies/songs on it, well recently my little sister got one as well, my parents have asked me to use her iTunes card and put the songs she wants on her iPod. So i registered her nano and for some reason all my songs popped up in her library, good thing i didnt use sync automatically. So my question is how do I remove my songs from her library but keep them on there so when mine resyncs they dont dissappear?

Are both iPods on manual sync versus automatic sync? for me, i use the manual sync, and can just drag whichever songs i want from my library onto my nano, and none of my songs (that are not on my nano) disappear from my iTunes library. I would think you could select whichever songs you wanted to copy to nano, if it is on the manual mode versus automatic sync . . .

Your Touch is working correctly. Currently, without unsupported third party hacks, the Touch has NO disc mode. It will only show up in iTunes.
how do i put programes and games in my ipod touch
Right now, you don't. The SDK is scheduled to be released in Feburary. Then developers will be able to write programs that will be loadable.

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
Error 1600, 1601, 1602
Error 1603
Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.

Need help reformating Ipod! Driving us crazy! TRIED EVERYTHING!

Hey everyone well my friend has an Ipod and it recently just stopped working, and it would have the sad Ipod icon or the folder with an exclamation point. He lost the USB cord but does have the FireWire cord, and his laptop did not have the FireWire port so mine does so that is why I'm trying to fix it. But when I plug it into my firewire windows seems to recognized it, then it disappears. I switched between the ports. The one it worked and the one as I said it would work the dissapear. The one that did work, I would try using that ipod updater software and when I started using it it would say "Can't mount" or whatever.
We've tried getting it into disk mode, which has failed and so we're baisctly stuck
Anyone have any help?
Its a 20GB Ipod Photo

Hi,
There are couples of problems here, you must deal with the "can't mount iPod" first.
Plug your iPod with your PC via the firewire cable, open my computer folder, and check the iPod drive no. If possible change it to something larger i.e. "M", "N" or "Y". Reboot your PC, open the iPod updater and plug the iPod back, and wait for few minutes, hope it will allow you to do the Restore.
If does not work, then read the following for the Sad iPod
Hello,
If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
Intermediate Level
A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“Partition Magic”.
C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iPod updater.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

Advance Level
A. Diagnostic mode solution
If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
B. Format your iPod with a start disk
I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk
http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
Just in case that you are at the following situation
Your iPod warranty is expired
You don’t want to pay any service charges
You are prepared to buy a new one
You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
Last Resort Level
1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)
http://eshop.macsales.com/tech_center/index.cfm?page=Video/directory.html
2.Press the reset button on the Hard Drive inside the iPod – Suggestion from Kill8joy
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2438774#2438774
Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.
2. Do a search on Google and some topics on this discussion forum about “Sad iPod”
What should I do with my iPod? Send it or keep it?

Need help managing two iphones, two iTunes accounts, and one music library

We have digitized all our music and it's successfully set up on an external hard drive. This is all great for me, as my iphone is synced to my iTunes account, so everything is set.
Problem is my husband set up his own iTunes account with his iphone and now he wants to access the music on our home computer/iTunes account.
So what we have is:
USER A =
computer + digital hard drive w/music (managed by iTunes account A)
iTunes account A
iphone A (synced with iTunes account A)
USER B =
iTunes account B
iphone B (synced with iTunes account B)
iTunes account B = very few music files + lots of Aps
What we want is for USER B to be able to access the computer + digital hard drive w/music (managed by iTunes account A), but retain his Aps that he's purchased for his iphone.
I hope this is clear. Can someone tell us the best way to accomplish getting USER B access to our home music collection?
Thanks!

My problem is similar, except for 3 different devices: IPod Nano, Old style Shuffle, and Iphone 3Gs.
To answer one post as to "why" different accounts... 1 pre-teen user; wife/husband have (maybe) a 10 song overlap in the library, and I have tons of apps.
Ok, all I want to do is play the same stuff on my home computer as on my work computer. There are 3 I-tunes accounts on my home computer (mine is one). My apps/movies and music don't show up on this computer, even though it has been authorized. I have synced the phone, but no changes, even after adjusting the prefs. Oh, and this is a side note, my Outlook calendars are not playing well together either. My home Outlook is "stand alone" while my work calendar is accessed by others all the time and both appts and email are "pushed" to my phone. (This is not a big deal, however)
All I want is to be able to use my home computer to get MY movies and songs onto my I-phone (from the home computer)-- and download new stuff, that once I put on my phone will transfer to my work computer when I plug sync my phone and work computer together.
Honestly, I don't need my wife's stuff or my kid's stuff, nor do I need for them to have my stuff. I don't care if we do share, I just don't want to chew up the memory on my phone with "Kidz Bop Vol 1-99", etc.
My work computer is my primary for my Itunes. If you are still with me, please help. Thanks!

Need Help with iPod Version

I want to put Linux in my iPod but I need to "unUpdate" it to v 1.0 (its updated to 1.2 right now). I tried alot of stuff but never works...
I got the 20gb iPod photo (the generation just before Video iPod)
When I use "restore", my iPod stay at V1.2
Could someone help me please?
Is there any way to unUpdate an iPod?
Thanks for your help.

See you can have an older version iPod updater here
http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
By the way, I suggest you do not put Linux on you iPod, as you will loss the warranty immediately. Also when your iPod get into trouble, it is not easy to revert back

NEED HELP WITH IPOD

Hello all!! Need some help here. When I plug my ipod into the computer...my Ipod no longer shows up in the "source" window on itunes. A "do not disconnect screen" will flash on my Ipod for hours on end.
I have already reset my Ipod. Dont know what to do next.
Thanks friends!

How to I go through the warranty service process.
If you purchased from a non Apple store recently (~ a few weeks), I'd take it back and get another.
You can take it to an Apple retail store or request service here -> iPod Service Request
I mean i know you can request service, but you have to pay for that.
If it is within 180 days of purchase, you do not have to pay for anything. If it is after 180 days but before the one year warranty is up, it's ~$29 for shipping.

Need help with Ipod demensions

I had a 15gb 3rd gen. I need to replace it with an ipod of the same exact size. If I have to get another 15gb that is fine. I also have a 30gb 3rd gen and it is thicker. I read somewhere that the 3rd gen 40gb is the same size as the 15gb?? Can I get a 4th gen? It can be a little thinner but the outside dimensions need to be the same. Any help would be appreciated.

why do you need an ipod the exact same size as an old ipod...? HuH?...xXxmartinxXx
