Need help syncing 2 ipods

I hope I'm not too confusing, but I have an old Ipod Nano and then went out and bought a newer version of the Ipod Nano. The 1st Nano, I put songs for my mom on there and the 2nd one I put songs for myself. Here is my problem. I can not add more songs because my library sees songs for BOTH ipods. Both Ipods are listed under 1 account.
Can I put the 1st ipod on a separate account with 1 library and have the 2nd ipod with a different library even though they are already set up in 1 account?
Also, if I were able to set up 2 different accounts, would it cause a problem between the 2 ipods? Meaning, my mom has Xmas, country and oldies songs on hers and mine has rock songs on mine.
I want to add more songs to the 2nd ipod, but ALL the songs end up on the 1st ipod and then I have to manually move them. But, the 1st ipod ends up using ALL the disk space while the 2nd ipod still has a LOT of space for songs.
I don't want to delete songs but I had to do that already in order to add songs. I just want to know if there is a way where I can add songs STRAIGHT to my 2nd ipod instead of going on the 1st ipod and using up ALL the space?
Thanks and again sorry for it sounding confusing.

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 . . .

Well I want to put all of my music on my Mac, But everytime I plug it in and ask it to sync all music it tells me that I have to erase my Ipod and sync in with the music on my Mac... Gosh its so confusing.

    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.

  • I am setting up a new iMac and need help syncing files to Dropbox.  On my old computer I had it set where when I saved a document, it was saved on my hard drive, as well as to a folder in Dropbox.  I can't remember how I set this up.  Any help?

    The way that Dropbox works is that it keeps a copy of all your files in your local Dropbox folder on your hard drive (which is, by default, directly under your home folder). Adding files to that folder will sync them to the Dropbox server.
    You do of course have to download the Dropbox application to enable this (download link at the top right of http://dropbox.com ).

  • I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I followed the steps given and ended up with just email addresses showing in my contacts even though I have phone numbers and snail mail in my Outlook Contacts. Using  Windows 7

    I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I used the knowldge document and set it up to transfer my Outlook contacts to the iphone using itunes.
    In contacts on the iphone I only see the email addresses.
    Yet in Outlook I have email, snail mail and phone numbers.
    I followed the knowledge document from iphone.
    I did it once, didn't work so deleted all the contacts from the phone and tried again. Same result. I have a PC using Windows 7 64 bit.

    You can't access an Exchange account via ActiveSync with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac.
    You can access a MM account with Outlook on your PC at work and keep your MM email account server stored mailboxes synced between your PC at work, your iPhone, and the MM "cloud". Not sure about syncing MM contact info and calendar events with Outlook at the same time with an Exchange account.
    This will not provide for syncing your Exchange account contact info and calendar events with the Addresss Book and iCal on your Mac because the accounts are separate.
    You can access an Exchange account and a MM account at the same time with the iPhone's mail client, and sync contact info and calendar events over the air with both accounts at the same time. You can view combined contact info or separately for each account, and the same for calendar events.

  • HT2480 I need help syncing my computer outlook email (through Yahoo) with my Iphone. when I delete an email on my computer is it still in my inbox on my phone.  Any help is appreciated.

    I need help syncing my computer outlook email (through Yahoo) with my iphone.  When I delete an email on my computer it is still in my inbox on my phone. Please help.

    Your computer is probably set up to access your Yahoo mail using POP3. POP3 does not synchronize with the server. For full synchronization, you will need to use IMAP instead. See the Yahoo mail help pages for instructions on how to configure your mail client.

    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.

    - Try here to get iTunes to see the iPod:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    - Yu can also try another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem
    - Try manually placing the iPod in recovery mode. For that see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • NEED HELP! Ipod immediately ejected from pc

    I've been having trouble with my ipod for the last few months. Whenever I connect it to my computer it immediately ejects. I have tried resetting my ipod and restoring it and nothing worked. Finally I replaced my ipod and got a brand new one and the problem is stll happening. I have an 80GB Ipod classic and I'm using an emachine computer. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I've had this same problem lately, same iPod, but i bought mine about 1-2 years ago so can't replace, but that's off the point, i have tried the 5 R's i've tried switching my USB input, i've tried restarting it and just today it's now frozen in the restart menu after putting it in Disk Mode, i keep trying to restart so it will go to my menus, but it stays on then says connect to power, i've also tried restoring it to factory with my sister's computer and even still the iPod won't play, skips, or slows down when i try to play a song, it was working fine days ago but now nothing... won't even recognize on the computer, NEED HELP FROM SOMEONE, maybe even APPLE if they decide to start customer service for the first time.

  • Need help syncing photos to ipad through iTunes

    I have tried to troubleshoot an issue I seem to have with syncing photos to my ipad through iTunes.  I have done it many times before successfully.  Now all the usual tabs seem to be missing and there is no reference to photos anywhere I can see on iTunes.  This article seems to be about my issue iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support  However, I don't seem to have the buttons/tabs they refer to.  I am running iTunes 12 which seems to be the latest version.  Is this article still relevant?

    Hello rayver,
    There is a slight difference between how you sync in iTunes 11 vs iTunes 12. Take a look at the article below to look for your iPad in iTunes and then select the Photos tab to then sync your photos over.
