Purchased music on one iPod Touch gets attached to second iPod Touch.

I have one account and 6 devices.  iCloud has been disabled... and I do not want it enabled.  I particularly hate it!
The issue is:
We have two iPod Touches that are G1 and G2, two iPod Touches that are Gen 5 with the latest updates to iOS, and we also have two iPod Nanos.  There is no issues with the old iPod Touches nor the iPod Nanos. 
On my iTunes I have separate folders for each iPod, named accordingly.  In those folders are the music that those iPods are to be loaded with.  The issue comes with the 5th Generation iPod Touches where it will sync all of the music in our appropriate folders, however, there is also music that was purchased on one iPod Touch 5th Gen that automatically gets attached to the second iPod Touch 5th Gen.  No matter what I try it remains on both iPods and it is not wanted.
I took the iPod that doesn't want the music (my husband's) and restored factory settings on it and then when I set it up again... the unwanted music is still there. I did this after syncing the device 2 or 3 times with just syncing the selected folders.  It took me awhile to figure out that all of the music that is deemed "unwanted" is purchases that I made on my iPod Touch Gen 5 and automatically showed up on my husband's. 
What do I have to do to get rid of the music on his iPod?  Set up his own ID?  If so... that only affects purchases correct?  Meaning, he can still sync with our iTunes folders on our home computer but if he were to purchase a song on his iPod, he would have to submit credit card info etc, otherwise the same thing would happen and both iPods would have the purchased music. 
I may have answered my own question, but I would like it confirmed before I set up new ID's and delete anymore items from his iPod. 
Thank you

Illaass:  I didn't try this... is this on the iPod itself?  I'm just wondering though, where I've already put the device back to factory a couple of times and then tried syncing just his list and those songs still popped up.  If I delete everything and re-sync, wouldn't it do it again?  I'll try it tonight and let you know.
PS:  Chris CA:  Originally I did have the clouds, but I got rid of them.  It didn't change anything though.  Purchased music still there.  Funny thing... I can purchase off my old iPod and it does not automatically go to mine nor my husband's new iPods, but if I purchase on the new iPods, it'll go to both new ones but not to the old ones.  I'm assuming this has something to do with the iOS.  
I'll be back tomorrow to let you guys know how I made out with the deleting thing. Thank you so much for all of your help and suggestions.  At least the iPods work.  He's just cranky because he doesn't like some of my music choices so he doesn't want them on his iPod.  LOL

  • 2 computers, purchased music and one ipod

    I have authorized purchases of music from itunes on 2 different computers. I have one ipod. Can I hook my ipod up to the other computer to download just the purchased music since it is under my same account name even though my ipod is registered to my original computer that I still use?

    If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference to "Manually manage music and videos":
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing content manually on iPod

    Can I transfer music from one IPod Touch to a newer generation IPod Touch?

    - No directly.  You have to first get the music in your itunes library on your computer and then sync the music to the new computer.
    - You can/should restore you new iPod from the backup of your old iPod to get app date and other things on the new iPod.  You will have to reenter passwords since passwords only get restore to the same device. The backup does not contain music so that has to be synced.
    - You can transfer iTunes purchased from an iPod to your computer by:

  • How do i download music from one ipod to another ipod

    how do i download music from one ipod to another ipod ?

    It needs to go through your computer's iTunes library.  If all the songs on the iPods are already in your computer's iTunes library, just sync each iPod as desired from your iTunes library. 
    If the songs on your iPods are not in your iTunes library, the approach here is to first off-load the song files from the iPods to your computer's hard drive.  Then, add the song files to your iTunes library, so that it is "consolidated" with ALL of your music.
    You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once you have ALL of your music in one iTunes library on your computer, sync your iPods as desired.

  • Transfering music from one ipod to anoter

    Helloo, i was just wondering if anybody knows how to transfer music from one ipod to another ?? as i want to but a newer up to date nano but dont want to loose all my music ??

    Yes you can remove music from your iPod. When you plug in your iPod that has the music, you just need to select Transfer Purchases instead of Sync, this will transfer your purchases from your iPod with the music into iTunes and then you can sync the purchases from iTunes to your new iPod Touch.

    Hello, I need help transferring music from one ipod to another? I got a new laptop and now my itunes library does not contain a lot of my music!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    There is more than one way, but to get it all on all devices, connect the first device to iTunes and choose to transfer the music from the device from the file menu. Once everything is in iTunes connect the second device, select the device in the device list, navigate to the music tab and check the content you wish to sync, click apply/sync.

    how do i copy music from one ipod to another with 1 cord?

    You cannot copy content directly from one iPod to another. If the music was purchased from the iTunes Store, you have the following options:
    - sync the iPod to your computer, transfer the content to iTunes, and then connect the other iPod and sync from iTunes
    - use iCloud (which requires iOS 5).
    - download the music from from the iTunes Store to the second iPod. See:

  • Can you sync music from one iPod to another?

    Both are the same model of iPods, but they came from two different computers. They have different libraries. I was wondering if you could transfer songs from one iPod to the other iPod. None of the songs i want to transfer are in the computer's library. The songs are from seperate computers.
    I have a PC, in case that hepls any.

    No it isn't possible to transfer music from one iPod directly to another. The music needs to be in an iTunes library in order to transfer it to an iPod.
    You said the songs came from two different computers and they have different libraries. Then you said +"None of the songs i want to transfer are in the computer's library."+ which seems to contradict what you said originally.
    Care to elaborate?
