One library / account -  two iPods with differenct muzic

Can iTunes manage two different iPods in a single account / library - without making their contents the same? One synchronzing playlist A, the other synching playlist B ?
Or ist the only way to handle 2 iPods by 2 different user accounts?
Thanks a lot

    Very simple.
    Each user creates their own playlists.
    Plug in your iPod, open the iPod preferences in iTunes and select Automatically Update Selected Playlists.
    Have the other user do the same.

  • One iTunes account - two iPod Touch...

    Here's my problem:
    My sons have an iPod Touch each. Occasionally I let them buy apps for their iPods from the Appstore, using my iTunes account. So they each have different apps on their iPods. Now every time I connect one of their iPods to my Mac to update the iPod OS or add pics or music, it also syncs all the apps. This means both of them get all the apps the other one has bought or downloaded. This fills up their iPods and there is no more free space on their iPods. When I unselect the Sync Apps in iTunes it warns me that all existing apps on the connected iPod will be removed.
    What can I do??? I basically want iTunes to stop syncing apps, but I don't want my sons to loose all the apps they have on their iPods. Anyone, please?

    Each device can have its own sync preferences with iTunes that the user controls. The same apps can be installed on both devices or different apps on each device, which is selected under the Apps tab for each device.
    First disable automatic syncing when each iPod is connected. Under the Apps tab for the first device, deselect automatically sync new apps. Deselect the apps that you don't want installed on the device. Select Apply followed by a sync.
    Repeat for the 2nd device.

  • One itunes account two phones with mixed up apps

    I have an iphone 3Gs (Hers)and my boyf 4 (His), and i used my itunes on my computer to put music on his phone before- no problems.
    I had upgraded my phone to iOS 5.1 and a few days later did his. iTunes recognised the phone id as "His" and proceeded to say upgrade available blah blah blah, and backed it up, and asked that there were purchases on "his" that werent in my iTunes libruary, etc, all went fine so we thought.
    Now he has all my contacts in with his contacts and he's missing all his apps! and when we go across to Apps tab on summary it won't let us apply the selected apps to sync back to his phone. We tried manually deleating the contacts AND UNWANTED APPS (Ab workout & Period Tracker!) only to find them back on there when we went to put the music back on.(which is not going back on either btw)
    He cant access App Store as my id ([email protected]) is coming up constantly on his phone and its asking for my password. He downloaded Facebook and some soccer apps this morning directly to his iphone using my ID as he cant get his to come back or get back his stuff that are in the itunes libruary. THe newest problem is that half hour ago i went into App store on my iphone, which is still accepting my ID, and downloaded FM104 ( he has this already) - the downlad commenced and up poppped the three soccer apps and downloaded too onto my iphone.
    My boyf is a carpenter and has alot of contacts in his phone, and doesnt want mine, he's like his music back as he's on the road alot, and doesnt need a 7pm reminder to take his contraceptive pill going off!!!  PLEASE HELP !!!

  • How do I sync two ipods with two different IDs on the same computer?

    How do I sync two ipods with two different IDs on the same computer?

    Simply connect them.  One computer with one iTunes can manage multiple devices.  They're tracked by S/N but you might wish to assign them unique names so that you can track them yourself.
    The only minor issue is app updating and purchases while on the computer.  It's necessary to log out and back in to the "correct" ID.  Much easier to do these things from the iPods.

  • Can two ipods with the same email address face time independantly?

    Can two ipods with the same email address face time independantly?

    Hey Bumblebee, To each other, no-- would be like trying to call yourself on the same phone. To different persons on other devices??? Not sure you'll have to try, I'm guessing if both are online you may well dial up on both, (once had the same address on the my computer and iPod, both would ring when called, this stopped when I changed the iPod's address). If you change one of the iPod's e-mail address you should be fine. You'll have to do a little experimenting. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.

    Can anyone help me figure out how to sync my ipod with my purchased music?  I have used several computer and at one point synced my ipod with a computer that only had about half of my music.  My other computers are no longer working.  Not sure how to get my purchased music back onto my ipod?

    Hi kimcinma!
    Your previous purchases are saved on iCloud even if you bought them on another computer. If you can't find them on your current computer, you might need to unhide them. Go to iTunes preferences, and click on Store Preferences. Then click the box for "show iTunes in the Cloud purchases". Then click on OK, and everything you've ever bought from iTunes on that Apple ID will show up in your library. You will need to download them from iCloud first before you can synch them to your iPod Classic. To do this, click on the little cloud with the arrow in it next to your song, and it will download to your computer. When you have the music that you want downloaded, plug in your iPod and synch away. Hope this helps!

  • One laptop and two Ipods

    Is it permissable/possible to download itunes files from one laptop to two Ipods without experiencing problems?

    Hello Keith,
    Is it permissable/possible to download itunes files from one laptop to two Ipods without experiencing problems?
    Yes. There is no limit to the number of iPods you can sync to one computer or iTunes library. I sync my iTunes content to 3 different devices.

    As quicksilver8 says, that's difficult.

  • One computer - windowsxp - two ipods. Can both share itunes library?

    I have a 5th gen ipod with 3300 tracks loaded. My wife has now bought a second hand 4th gen with click wheel which I would like to share with my itunes library.
    Problem is - can this be done and if so how do I go about it?
    Was about to restore the 4th gen ipod but I am terrified that this will corrupt my current set up in some way. This is the last thing I want to do.
    Can someone please give me an idiots guide to the steps that I will need to take to getting the two ipods linked to the same library.

    There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look at this article and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
    Another option when using a single library is to set one or both of the iPods to manual update: Managing Your Songs Manually

  • Shared music from one computer and library to two ipod touches

    so here is my issue. i once had an ipod nano and was full\ of music. christmas last year, my bf got us both the new ipod touch, and so we shared his laptop. i was able to transfer the old music from the nano to the computer and it shows up. however, since we live together and share the media library, i want to know how to get the info for both ipods into my ipad. i tried everything, and long story short, the two ipods both contain our shared library, but the library says the files from the nano and cannot be located. the music i needed is on one of the new ones. so question is, how to i get my entire media library from icloud accounts, devices, and what not transferred to my ipad. can someone help me?

    Apparently, nobody is doing something similar...
    As an FYI, Podcasts are still automatically updated even when you check the "Manually Manage Music and Videos" checkbox.
    I plan to see if I can indeed sync my music with the Mac over the weekend...
