Sharing libraries between 2 IPod touches

I have 2 children, 2 IPod Touches, so that means 2 accounts. Is there any way to share the purchases between their two accounts? This is frustrating as we had to set up each IPod Touch as each user but it seems we can't sync one IPod to another account. Am very confused -- any help would be appreciated.

well, i can tell you this. i have two Macs in my network. each has its own iTunes library and its own iTMS account. both Macs are cross-authorized. if i purchase content on Mac A, Mac B automatically pulls the new content via *Home Sharing*.
obviously, my setup is different so you might want to experiment a bit. i have seen users report that _*Home Sharing*_ works in a "1-Mac-2-Accounts" environment.
happy computing !

    The iPhone is not user servicable. You can get an out of warranty replacement from Apple for $149. If you open the phone yourself, you forfeit the ability to do this.

    What is the difference between the iPod Touch and the iPod Touch MP3 ?

    There is no iPod touch designated as the "iPod Touch MP3". If you've seen that listed somewhere, it's just a rather misleading title given by the dealer or web site, not an Apple product name.

  • Confused about sharing music between two ipods

    I have a 30GB ipod video, and I bought my husband an 8GB nano for Christmas. I have been searching the threads trying to figure out how we can share music, but I seem to get conflicting information. I understand how to create separate libraries and I think I understand how to allow him access to my library (move itunes music folder into public folder?) but am still unclear about sharing music between ipods. Because in some of the posts, I have read that while you can share music and listen to it via multiple itunes libraries, you can ONLY listen to it on the computer--you cannot get it onto another ipod due to anti-piracy measures.
    I know I could create a playlist for him in my library, but I like to autosync my ipod and I don't really want his music on mine, because the songs we BOTH like I've already imported into my itunes library. I was hoping to set up a separate library for him, import my music files into it, then let him delete the artists he's not interested in and add the music he wants that I don't. But I don't want to go through all that if he won't be able to play the shared songs on his own ipod.
    I hope all this makes sense. Can someone who shares songs in this way give me some advice? Again, I would like for us to maintain separate libraries but I would like to make mine available to him so he doesn't have to reimport all the CDs I've already imported (and I don't want to waste computer space by having multiple copies of the same songs).
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Ver easy to accomplish.
    I have one library, two 4GB iPods and ~20GB of music.
    Rather than duplicating libraries or creating separate user accounts/sharing music you can't load, etc. which simply takes up space on the disk drive, use the same library and use sync only what you want.
    Create playlist(s) of your own music from the library.
    Add/remove from those playlists as you want.
    Connect your iPod, select it in iTunes and select the Music tab.
    Select Sync music, Sync selected playlists and choose what you want.
    The way I do it is I create a main playlist (Chris's Music) of music in the library that I like.
    I also create a smart playlist (Not Chris's Music) and set it to Match Rule - Playlist is not Chris's Music.
    This helps to manage my music by showing all music not in main playlist so I can browse for music I may have missed or now want to add.
    I do the same for my daughters iPod except she gets to pick her own stuff.
    This way whenever any music is added by either of us, it is available to the other with no problems.

  • Internet sharing from MBP to iPod Touch?

    I have a MacBook Pro connected to the Internet through my company's ethernet network. Since there is no WiFi connection available here, I am attempting to use "Internet sharing" between my ethernet / Internet connection on the MBP to my iPod Touch. There is no proxy server or special settings I have on my MBP to access the Internet through the ethernet connection so I thought it would be as simply as turning the "Internet Sharing" on, creating an "ad-hoc" wireless network, and connecting to it with my iPod Touch.
    I can see and connect to the wireless connection that my MBP has created for Internet Sharing, but I can't access any Internet content from the iPod Touch. I changed the settings on the iPod Touch WiFi connection from DHCP assigned, static IP, and I've even tried using my MBP's wireless IP as well as ethernet IP addresses as the router on the iPod Touch with no luck. I also tried setting the subnet mask on the iPod Touch to 255.255.0.0 and using the MBP's ethernet gateway IP address as the router IP on the iPod Touch (still no luck).
    Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

    If new events added to your Mac do not appear on your calendar on icloud.com when you check from your computer, make sure you are adding the events to calendars that belong to your "iCloud" account and not an "On My Mac" or another non-iCloud account.  You can check by clicking Calendars on the top left of the Calendars application. 
    If you are and they still don't appear on icloud.com, add any missing events from your Mac calendar to your calendar on icloud.com, then go to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Calendars, choose Delete from Mac when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), restart your Mac, then go back and check Calendars again.  Then add a new event on your Mac calendar and see if it appears on icloud.com and your iPod now.

  • How do I sync iMessage between my iPod touch and my MacBook Pro on Mountain Lion?

    I have just recently downloaded Mountain Lion and I also have an iPod touch that I use iMessage on. I was wondering if there was any way to sync the messages between the two devices.

    "I just got a new laptop and downloaded itunes, but the itunes library doesn't have any songs."
    Probably because you didn't put any music on your new computer. It doesn't magically appear.
    "Does this mean that if I sync my ipod on my laptop all the songs on my ipod will get erased?"
    Yes.
    Move all of the music ( and all of your other info/pics/docs/etc) from your old computer to your new one.
    As provided you can just use your backup copy for this. It is one of the many reasons that ALWAYS maintaining a backup copy is basic.

  • I Can't Decide between a iPod Touch (5th Generation) or a iPad Mini 2

    I'm looking for an apple product from Christmas. Originally the iPad Mini came to mind then I saw the Mini 2 and I also a iPod Touch. So I can't decide between a 32GB iPod Touch 5th Gen or a 32GB iPad Mini 2.
    You see one of the reasons I liked the Mini was the size factor for games and music but them I said to myself that's too big for listening to music on my daily commute. So I really don't know. If it helps I already have an iPod Touch 4th Gen but it's 16GB and the charging socket only works sometimes.

    I would get the Mini because the design of the 5G iPod is over two years old. It will max out iOS updates before the the Mini will.
    But the desire for a smaller device may be more important.

  • Difference between initial ipod touch 5g and newest ipod touch 5g

    I've noticed some differences between the packaging of the initial ipod touch 5g (with the iOS 6 sticker on the front) vs the newest ipod touch 5g (with the iOS 7 sticker on the front) I was wondering whether there was any internal or external differences in the ipod touch 5gs.  I am considering buying one of the old ipod touch 5gs with the iOS 6 packaging.  So, do I just update it to iOS 7 (or latest version) and it's identical to the newest ipod touch?  I was wondering whether any factory changes were updated to it.  Thanks.

    The hardware of the device didnt change. The new update just gives a new look. Ios 6 on the left and ios7 on the right.

  • How do you share information between two iPod Touches?

    My girlfriend and I are considering iTouches to replace our old Palm Z22s. We beam a LOT of data between our Palms — grocery lists, contacts, events, notes, tasks, expenses, odometer/milage entries on cars — almost every day.
    How does one instantly transfer data between two iTouches?

    So there's no easy way to do this? Can't say I'm surprised, the way Apple has become a "my way or the highway" brand.
    It's simple: I've added 10 items to my grocery list. She's added 5 items to hers. We're at the grocery store, where I'm about to shop while she runs other errands.
    How do I get her shopping list from her iTouch to mine while standing there in front of the store?
    With our Palm Z22s, using 10-year-old technology, she can beam me her list in about 2 seconds.
    With the iPod Touch, apparently she can't send me her list at all, unless, what? She copies down each item into an email, finds free wifi, sends the email to me, I receive it, then copy the items in the email back into my copy of our shopping list app?
    REALLY?!?

  • I just wanna buy a new iOS device and I'm confused between the iPod touch 5th generation, iPhone 4s 8GB, iPad 4th generation 16GB and iPad mini with the retina display 16GB model. Please help me figure out.

    I have an iPhone 4s 16GB Model and I've been using it for about more than an year now. The reason I wanna get a new iOS device is because my 4s has got lots of scratches now and it's ambient light sensor seems not to work properly. Apparently, another reason is that the iLife and iWork suit are not free for me as my device is older and new devices get those softwares for free.
    I thought to go with a new iPhone 4s again but the problem is that new 4s come with only 8GB of storage and they don't support AirDrop. So next, I thought to go with an iPod touch 5th gen because of its jaw-dropping design, bigger screen, more storage and AirDrop support. Because iPod touch is phone-less iPhone and they come at affordable price, I can also buy any cheap cell phone like moto e to replace my current iPhone 4S.
    Another options that I thought a little bit on, is iPad 4th Gen and iPad mini with Retina display 16GB.
    Now, should I just stick with my current 16GB iPhone 4s, or get a new one.
    Or should I buy an iPod touch 5th gen and moto e (since iPod can't make phone calls)
    Or should I go with one of the two iPad models that I aforementioned.
    Awaiting your valuable suggestions.
    Thank you!

    They're a lot more expensive, but Griffin has some of their 'survivor' cases with sealed ports, so you could cover up the ones you don't need.
    If best buy isn't an option for you, at least there's a manufacturer to look for.
