Shuffle and photo ipod on same computer?

I have a photo ipod installed on my G5. I just got a new shuffle. Can I use both seperatly, or will my computer only support one of them? Can I have different playlist for each? Any help will be appreciated. I have not run the ipod installer for the shuffle yet until i know if it will cause any problems.
Thanks,
Bill

Hi,
It is possible to use multiple iPods in the same computer and use the same itunes with different playlist or the same list.
There is no need to install the software that came along with the iPod shuffle.
Check this article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432
The simplest step would be to follow the section under "Method Two"
Post back if you have any questions.

  • Can I use a Mini and a Ipod on same computer

    I won a mini at a conference ! So now I want to use both my new mini and my regular 40 meg iPod from the same computer. I don't want to wreak any havoc with my existing iTunes.

  • Using a shuffle and nano on the same computer

    I want to get a shuffle and already have a nano on my iBook. Will the shuffle automatically use the nano software already installed. Or do I have to install the shuffle software as well. All of the frustration I've been reading about iTunes not recognizing shuffle is making me nervous. I'm afraid if I have software for both nano and shuffle installed I'll get into a confusing mess and fortunately, right now, my nano is working perfectly. I'm a new Mac user and an even newer ipod user and so this question is very basic.

    If you are already using a recent version of iTunes and the iPod updater, yes. Installing the iPod shuffle software is only necessary if it is newer than the versions of iTunes and the iPod updater already on your computer.

  • How do you manage an Ipod and Iphone on the same computer

    Hi how do you manage an Ipod and Iphone on the same computer?
    I have my ihpone but for running and cycling i also have my ipod nano, every time i connect one or the other it wipes songs that i want to keep?

    create a playlist for each device and sync only that playlist.
    i'm syncing four mobile devices to iTunes and each has its own playlist. works like a charm.

  • The same itunes Library and playlists on the same computer with two systems

    I want to have the same itunes library and playlists on the same computer with the two different Os 10.3.9 and 10.4.9 each one on the different disk. without copy this in the itunes folder (because my library its 30Gb)
    I have the same user name on the Os. I use the same version of itunes in both systems
    I use my ipod to play the library but its not the best solution (i lost my library in ipod twice because I confused from what os was synchronized)

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    Amalgamate the two iTunes libraries. Then load iTunes and hold down the Option/Alt ⌥ key and then choose "Choose Library" and then point both copies of iTunes to use the combined iTunes library.

  • More than one ipod on same computer

    Can I use an ipod video and nano on the same computer?

    Yes; see here for options on transferring different content to each iPod. The version of iTunes installed shouldn't be older than either iPod.

  • 2 iPods on Same Computer

    My wife has an iPod Touch. I want to purchase one and install on the same computer. Can this be done with separate songs and apps?

    Manual sync can work, but auto synching is usually easier.
    You have quite a few option dependant on how you have everything set up.
    Do you use or will you use the same Apple ID/iTunes login for both of you?
    If so just go ahead and connect/sync the new iPod to iTunes create two playlists one yours and one your wifes and just sync each to the appropriate device, done.(this also allows you to share apps betweeen the two of you)
    If you are using seperate Apple ID's you have two options you can just simply make sure that whenever either of you signs in you make sure to log in and out of iTunes using each of your Apple ID's once again having a single playlist each OR If you use seperate logins for the computer you can just have a copy of iTunes set up for each of you on each Windows login kinda like having two seperate computers.

  • How to sync 4 ipods on same computer

    I'm trying to sync 4 ipods using same computer and same apple id.

    Hello SuzyQ5253,
    It sounds like you have two iPhones you want to sync them with one computer.  I found an article with three ways you can go about doing this.  I recommend picking the method that works best for you and following those steps:

  • How do you share photos on the same computer between users???

    Hello,
    I would like to know how to share photos on the same computer between users...
    My wife and I have different user accounts on our iMac and I can't figure out how to share photos.
    I tried everything as told by Apple but it seems you can only share photos on your iMac with a network. If that is what I understand...
    I just want to have all the photos on my user account and when my wife is on her user account I want her to be able to view the photos.
    Again, we are only using one iMac.
    Thank you for your help in advance...

    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
    (You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

    How do I combine text and photos on the same page in iPhoto using photobook?

    You mean while creating a book in iPhoto?  Click on the layout button while viewing a page and select the layout that includes both text and photos.  Most themes will have those options.
