New iPod To Share Library

I recently acquired a new iPod. I have an iPod 30G that works great and I want to share the same library. I have gone through the information on creating a new entry for the new iPod but all my music didn't transfer. Are there comprehensive instructions posted somewhere that I missed to get this to work?
Thanks in advance.

Just plug the iPod in and open iTunes. It will the iPod will show in the devices section of the iTunes sidebar. Click on the iPod go to the summary tab and set you syncing options. You can do this for as many iPods/iPhones/iPads as you like.

Brand new Ipod touch old library

So I got a new ipod touch and a new macbook. I was able to import my itunes library for my old ipod to the new macbook easily. Now, how do I get my library onto the new ipod touch? If I just plug it in will it sync? I kept the account info the same and authorized the new computer on the account. Can I have two ipods using the same itunes library? TIA

*Can I have two ipods using the same itunes library?*
Yes you can, at the moment I use three different model iPods with the same library. 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: How to use multiple iPods with one computer</a

Synching new Ipod to existing library

Sorry if this is really basic.... I have a new Ipod classic (used to have a mini) and I want to start using it and synch it to my existing library. I have no idea where to start. I have got the most up to dtae version of itunes, but the synch option seems greyed out in the file menu. Do I have to de-install my old Ipod or is it possible to have 2 synched to the same library???
Thanks in advance.

When you first connect the iPod, you see the set up assistant/licensing agreement and of course you must click "agree" in order to proceed.
Then you'll be prompted to name the iPod and choose a method of auto syncing your iPod. If you want to manually mange the content of your iPod, remove the check mark from the auto sync option. (It may be already set to manual and that's why the sync option is greyed out). Click "done" and that takes you to the registration screen. Then your done, and you can begin transferring music from your iTunes library.
You can have as many iPods as you like synced to one iTunes library.

I am unable to access previously purchased music to sync to my new ipod from my library.

Also, i have tried using the purchased tab but only the 2 newest purchases are there, which i have already synced. All of my previously purchased music from earlier this year is no where to be found. Anyone please help!

All of your music should be on your computer. Sync whatever you like to your new ipod.

New iPod touch, adding library music and got duplicates of some albums?

I was wondering if anyone could offer me some help. I got a new iPod touch today in replacement of my old 8G one, and i transferred all my music okay, but when i went onto my albums option on my ipod, it listed several of the same albums with same songs on them, eg. my Watchmen soundtrack appears at least 7 times, all with the same songs. why is this? and i was it only with some of my music? can anybody help me please?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. 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, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Upgrading new iPod to another library

I am giving my video iPod to my brother to replace his mini iPod. Do I need to remove all of my music, photos, and videos from the iPod before connecting it to his library or will it merely synch it and put all of his files on there? I want to ensure that he only gets the files in his library, not the ones on the iPod. Thank you for the help in advance.

If he knows what he's about, he could turn off automatic synchronization and end up with all of your tracks. The best way to prevent that is to restoring your iPod to it's factory settings. That will erase everything you have on it and give me a clean iPod.
Hope this helps.

Using a new ipod with old library

I recently switched from a 2nd generation to a video...When i tried to importmy library, some of the songs did not transfer and said I was not authorized to listen. I also recently purchased a video from itunes that will not add to my ipod when I drag it, also saying that i am not authorized. A majority of the songs transfered, but what is with the others not working?

It won't even play a few seconds of it. It says the file cannot befound when i try to play it through itunes. When it asks if I want to find it, nothing is found...

How do I transfer new ipod music to library?

So I bought music at my work computer. I want to transfer it and save it onto my home comupter's itune library. But I don't want to sync my entire itune library to my ipod. What do I do? Anyone?

If you have your ipod set to manually manage music, then you can just drag it off the ipod. You can also enable the ipod for disk use and it will be just like a USB.
Hope this helps.

What will happen when I plug my new iPod in?

I got a new iPod video and I had an iPod mini before, if I plug in my new iPod, will it erase my library on my computer? If it does erase my library, how can I transfer my music from my old ipod to my new one?

No, it won't erase your library on your computer if you connect a new iPod. Rather, it will ask you if you want to associate the new iPod with this library. Click 'yes' and it will load your iPod with that music.
CHeers!

I cannot download my old itunes library to my new ipod - please help!!!!

Unfortunately in August 2006 someone nicked my Ipod mini - thanks! So my insurance co. replaced it with an ipod nano. I've installed the new software disk that came with my ipod nano and hooked up with the old itunes library to my new ipod nano. Simple huh? Not likely. It says I have too many tunes in my itunes library to download to my new ipod. However the mini and nano are both the same size -4G so why now is it telling my I have too many songs to download to my ipod nano? I have even deselected some from the library but no luck. My old ipod mini was not full to capacity anyway? any ideas?
It could be that my current pc is not logged to the internet - AOL fault currently being sorted but surely that should not stop me updating my ipod? The tunes are in the library the new 4g ipod (allbeit a nano and not a mini as was) is connected yet the **** thing says I have too many tunes selcted to download WHEN I KNOW I DONT! Help......... please does anyone have a clue where i'm going wrong its driving my nuts!

Hi Divine Inspiration,
You wouldn't connect the iPod to the iPad for data transfers. Music is stored and shared either through a computer or iCloud.
This article gives an overview of moving music and data off the iPad.

I have bought a new ipod touch and when i went to sync my music library on to it only a few songs went over, the ones that didnt had a ! next to them. I had no problem when using my last ipod touch but i was using a pc at the time not a mac though.

Hi there,
This usually meas that iTunes can't find the original files. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for some tips on locating that lost media.

Save all the photos from your Droid into a folder on your computer.
Connect your device to your computer. On iTunes left Pane, select iPhone under 'Devices'; then on the right Pane, select PHOTO tab. Make sure Sync Photo box is checked, and "from" box selected the folder that has Droid's photos. Then click the SYNC or APPLY button on the lower right window.

HT1351 I have a new iPod Touch......I was able to successfully set up a new account, but I want it to be separate from the 800 songs I already have in my iTunes library. How do I set up a separate library on the same computer?

I have a new iPod touch; I have an iTunes library of music for an older iPod shuffle. I'd like to set up the iPod touch for my wife with a separate library of music - I was successful in setting up a separte account, but it seems my 800 songs are still there in the library. How do a set up a new account on the same computer without bringing along all the music that will clog up her iPod touch?

There's a few ways of doing it. The following document may be of some help:
