Second Ipod with iTunes

I have a regular IPod I've been using with iTunes through Firewire. I bought a nano as a second player but can't get iTunes to recognize it. It's connected through USB. What am I doing wrong?
Bill

Are you connecting both iPods to the computer simultaneously, or one at a time?
If you've been connecting the iPods simultaneously, disconnect both iPods, restart your computer, then connect the nano only, not with the other iPod.
If that's not the case, then this may be a case of Windows drive letter confusion. Re-assign your previous iPod's drive letter, disconnect it, then connect your nano to your computer.
For directions, see this article, and scroll down to the "Change the Drive letter" section:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive

  • Hello. I'm already registered in iTunes and want to have a second iPod (with a separate email-adress) being capable of iMessage. What do I have to do?

    Hello. I'm already registered in iTunes and want to have a second iPod (with a separate email-adress) being capable of iMessage. What do I have to do?

    You can use the same iTunes account on both iPod.  To allow Messags betwen the two, one one iPod go to Settings>Messages>Receive At and add another email address and delete the iTunes account email address.
    If that is not what you want plase explain better what you want to obtain.

  • How or can you sync older ipods with Itunes Match?

    How or can I sync my second generation IPod with ITunes Match?

    For iPods, iTunes Match only works with iPod touch, because it is an iOS device (like iPhone and iPad).  Even for iPod touch, it must be 3rd or 4th gen (running iOS 5 or later). 

  • When I try to sync my iPod with iTunes I can't because it says it's over capacity. It's not. It's a 16 GB iPod, it's only 105 songs on there. No movies or pictures or such. Anybody got a word of advise?

Anybody got a word of advise? I've tried resetting the iPod but get the message that it's not possible cause i'm not connected to internet. I am though. Tried managing music manually. I've tried all the usual stuff.

    Go to Settings > General > Usage and see how much is shown available and how much is in "Other".

  • Cannot sync my ipod with itunes

    when you connect your ipod to your computer, click on your ipod in itunes and go through all the tabs, making sure that your ipod is set to automaticly sync your playlists.

    I just installed Lion yesterday, and am running iTunes 10.4.   First attempt to sync since upgrade.
    Thanks

    Yup,
    Me too...this is stupid, stupid, stupid. Just purchased my 200 (ish) mac and now I am told that my new Mac Book pro is not "authorized".
    Which if my 200 macs are authorized. Can someone please tell me???
    I "deauthorized" my old MBP and still told I cannot use my iPhone with iTunes.
    Interesting that my old $2500 MBP, my new $3000 MBP and my $500 iPhone all cannot work cuz of some pinhead's decision to use this assorization process.
    Yes I am very, very, very mad.

  • I deleted all my playlists provided. However, they are still on my Ipod Touch. Now, when I sync my Ipod with Itunes then the lists are copied back into Itunes?

    I deleted all my playlists provided. However, they are still on my Ipod Touch. Now, when I sync my Ipod with Itunes then the lists are copied back into Itunes?

    A playlist takes up almost no room. A few kB at most.
    It is simply a list of songs in the library
    Do you want the playlists or not?
    Now, when I sync my Ipod with Itunes then the lists are copied backinto iTunes?
    Do you want them copied back into iTunes?

    I have continuously over the last 6 months struggled with syncing my iphone and ipod with itunes  The app continually crashes during the picture import.  AND by the way it takes 10-15 minutes before it even attempts to import photos.  The screen says importing photoes but doesnt try to optimize or anything for 10 minutes.  I have a 3gs with 16Gb so its not a cheap phone.  I have 10Gb free.  I have 6600 photoes.  This is very frustrating and undermines my confidence in your products.  My ipod is an ipod 4 with 16Gb also.  It does the exact same thing to it.  The last time, I had to import photoes a few at the time and with it taking 10-15 minutes each time for 6600 photos it is a long frustrating process.  But it will import every photo a few at a time.  The error message is just that itunes has stopped working.  no hint as to why. AND of course, my phone is out of use for the entire time.  You guys must not want to believe ur phones are a necessary tool...or maybe you dont want the consumer to believe it is.  I have tried to find solutions on your website as well as through other 3rd party communities.  Ultimately they were of no use.  I stumbled onto my solution by accident since Im a bit of a computer geek...a semi-geek.

    I have this issue too, I went into my Windows event viewer. (should have looked at this a year ago when this started)
    it said this

    basically whenever I try to sync my ipod touch 4G 64GB it crashes iTunes when it begins the pictures. if im lucky ill get 4-5 on there before it stops responding. its not my system or anything im running win7x64 8GB DDR3 ram (Corsair XMS3) AMD FX Eight core processor.
    It is silly that iTunes cannot add pictures to apple devices. it shatters whatever incline I may have to buy apple products. knda like the Airport Extreem router my dad bought the new firmware, caused my router to not function... why release firmware that breaks a product. -_- <-- off topic but still

    I chose to restore it to factory defaults, but that never succeeded.

    Littery it says:

    Already for 40 minutes.
    I closed down iTunes.
    Now, when I turn on my iPod, there is the icon of iTunes with an usb cable towards it.
    When I attach it to my computer and turn on iTunes, the message is there that a iPod was stuck in recovery mode and I should retry it.
    And then I get the same story. Unpacking, installing, checking... blocked!

  • MY hard drive crashed and I had to replace it. Now when I try to sync my iPod with iTunes it says that I have to replace the old library (that is lost forever) with the new library to sync. I do not want to lose all the songs on my iPod! What can I do?

    Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • Syncing iPod with iTunes fails with error (-69) appears

    When syncing my iPod with iTunes an error appears saying syn has failed to "my" iPod due to unknown error (-69). Is there a solution for this problem?

    Perhaps a corrupted iPod? Why not try a restore (warning: will erase and then resync everything) and see if that clears it up?

  • Problem with album picture on iPod with iTunes 10.2.2.14

    I'm using iTunes 10.2.2.14 on windows xp (service pack3) with iPod classic 80Gb.
    In iTunes I have 14.000 songs. Most of them with album illustration.
    In iTunes these illustrations are available.
    On my iPod I can se the covers
    On my iPod Classic in [music] [cover flow] view, I see the album pictures
    On my iPod Classic in [music] [[Albums] view, no picture is show at all.
    When playing the indivualnumber for each album,
    I will NOT see the album cover for the first song in that album
    However, I do see the albumcovers for the subsequent numbers.
    Missing the album for the first song, I can understand the view-per-album does not show any picture
    Mostlikely because it will take the album picture from the first song.
    But why is is missing with (all) first songs ?
    I checked Itunes; the album cover is there.
    I have de-installed en installed iTunes.
    I have emptied the iPod.
    I have reload all the songs in iTunes.
    All without result.
    An so strange; the same effect for all albums.
    Somebody suggestions what the cause is ?
    Or how I can overcome / repair this ?

    If your iPod is set to update automatically then try this:
    1. Connect your iPod
    2. Disable "Show Album art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
    3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes. (Disconnecting and then reconnecting your iPod will do the trick)
    4. Re-enable "Show Album Art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
    5. Syncronise the iPod again.

  • Each time i try syncing my ipod with itunes, it freezes itunes and i end up having to shut down my computer.  This happened after the latest download, any suggestions?

    each time i try syncing my ipod with itunes, it freezes itunes and i end up having to shut down my computer.  This started happening after the latest download and my latest purchase.  The latest purchase doesn't show up on my iPod and itunes freezes at synching step 2 on 2.  Any suggestions?

    You should Reset your iPod, by
    1. Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 Secs till the Apple Logo comes ON.
    2. Disconnect the sync cable.
    3. Check the iPod Welcome screen, select language, go to menu (if you are lucky, your music are still on the iPod.)
    if your iPod doesn't show the Welcome screen, bring it to Apple Store.
    If the above is okay, (can see Menu but no Music)
    4. Close iTunes and Reboot your PC.
    5. Start iTunes
    6. Connect the iPod to the Sync cable.
    7. if iTunes ask to Restore, please do so.
    8. Sync your iPod. ( I would advise you to disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus program when doing this.)
    Good Luck.
