Setting Up 2 iPods
I recently purchased an iPod Touch, 4th generation. I have an old iPod Mini that I would like to set up for my wife. How do I register 2 iPods in iTunes?
Thanks.
Hello efromroanoke,
Simply connect each device and configure each one to sync whatever you content you desire to. You might want to take a look at this article for more recommendations on syncing more than one iPod, iPhone, and iPad with one computer.

As mentioned - I was trying to set up an iPod Touch, and it kept telling me "open iTunes," so it dawned on me that I probably needed to update it. So I updated it, and now it just doesn't open (it bounces once, and that's it).
For added info:
I have a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X version 10.6.8.
Technically I keep all my music on an external hard drive, but I don't think anything is corrupted (because it was working fine just before I updated it).
Thank you.Hi, JEvansIII.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Try resetting your System Management Controller or SMC then launch iTunes after processing these steps. If the issue persists, try downloading a fresh copy of iTunes by accessing the second link below.

As far as I know you need third party software unless you bought the music from iTunes, then it's easy.
Good luck. -

I accidentally changed a setting on my ipod touch and now it won't change back. I have had my ipod for more than two years and i dont know what to do. If i go to the apple store, would they fix it, or would i need to get a new one? If it could be fixed, how much would it cost?
If it is still under warranty you can call the 800 number to apple and enter the serial number and it will tell you if it is under warranty or not if not its like $30 basically for them to help or something like that it said today when i called...
Or take it to a genius bar if you have one near?
Or further explain what setting you are needing fixed back and im sure someone here can help you for free! -

Help setting up an ipod for a gift
i'm purchasing either a nano or an ipod for a friend for christmas and sending it to her in another state. i'd like to set up an itunes account for her with her info originating on my pc, set up the ipod on my pc, add files to the ipod's library and then send it. is this possible? any help would be much appreciated.
nano, or 30gGo ahead and put the movies on the iPad. However, when the person receiving the gift sets up the iPad in their name, the movies will be erased. So, you could put the movies on a USB flash drive and they could reinstall using the camera connection kit.
How to use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Can't leave "Set Up Your iPod"
This is over week 3 with these issues. First it was "corrupt and unreadable" now I finally got though to the restore button and have restored it about 5 times. I have also changed the drive name to try to fix this.
Any change I make, adding tracks, it prompts me to restore again. I restore, then it goes to "Set Up Your iPod" and I can't get past this screen, can't sync, nothing. I can keep music tracks and browse with EphPod but there are a few drawbacks to only using this program, one of them being I have no video access.
My last questions have had no response HELP ME I AM GOING CRAZY.can't get passed 'set up your ipod' page cause screen is too small!!.
Make it larger.
Set your screen resolution to at least 1024x768.
Ont he desktop, right click - Properties then Settings. -

my ex set up my ipod on his laptop, i have locked it as i couldnt remember the password, how can i unlock it without losing everything on it???
You can't. You will have to place the iPod in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
