Syncing 2 ipods onto one computer

Hi there. I got the new iTouch awhile ago, and it's only 16 GB. I also have a 80 GB video iPod. Now I'm using the video one more than the iTouch. I want to put the number of times I played a song onto my computer. What I used to do was manually put music onto the iTouch because it was much smaller than the video iPod. So for me to get the play count from the iTouch to my computer, how do I do that? If it involves me placing the iTouch into the computer and making it automatically syncing songs it's ok, I just want the play counts to go onto my computer. Can anyone help me please?

iTunes will ask you if you want it to make a playlist to use to sync the Touch with, & then it will randomly fill the list with songs. If you want to have a little more control over how the Touch syncs, I would suggest making a couple of playlists to use to sync the Touch with, go to your Preferences when the Touch is docked & change the sync preferences to sync those specific playlists only.

  • If you sync your ipod to one computer, then u sync it to another can you get the music from your ipod onto the new computer?

    i had my ipod synced to one computer. Then that computer died. i want to add more music from another computer, but i dont want to lose my music now. how can i do this?

    No. Music only syncs one way - computer to iPod. You would need to use a third-party utility to transfer music from the iPod to the iTunes Library such as Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac

  • How do I sync multiple ipods to one computer?

    How do I sync multipleipods through one computer?  I know it must be pretty basic but I cannot get it.  I have my Itunes store account up, but my wifes ipod info is up on the left side of the screen.  I do not want to sync to her info and the messages acknowledge that it is my ipod connected.

    Connect each one separately. Sync it with your desired info using iTunes. Then do the same with each device. You may configure the desired info separately for each device as long as each device has a different name. You can change the name from the sidebar listing in iTunes.

  • Need help syncing 4 ipods on one computer

    Currently we have an Ipod touch, and three ipod nanos' (various generations). The touch is synced on a laptop, two of the nanos are synced on the kids' computer and a new nano is on its way to us now via the apple online store. What I want to do is put all of the ipods on our PC. Not everyone has the same music interest but some songs will be the same in each library. What is the best way to do this. ALSO, my husband and I use one Itunes account while the kids use another.
    I have heard I should create user accounts on our PC for everyone and manage each Ipod through each account but I do not want duplicates of songs taking up space so I was told to create a shared library (just not sure how to do that)
    I have also heard I should use one account and use playlists within that account to sync each ipod. This seems to be the easiest thing to do but wonder if it will work if we have two different itunes accounts.
    Also will I be able to move my apps for my itouch over to the PC (they are on the laptop now) Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Click here for options. The number of iTunes Store accounts doesn't matter unless it's more than five, but the number of libraries does. To transfer the applications, hook up the iPod touch and choose to transfer them from the dialog box which appears or the File menu in iTunes.

  • Is there a way to un-sync my iPod from one computer and then sync it to another computer with iTunes without losing all my data or downloading software?

    Hi, I'm selling my current computer that my iPod is synced to and want to un-sync (I think the correct term of phase is) my iPod from my current computer, so i can then sync it to my new computer without downloading any software or deleting all my data. Is this possible? If so, please tell me how. As usual, any help would be helpful.

    Do this:
    - iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
    - Then import into your new computer
    - Copy any synced photos to the new computer
    - Backup the ipd to the new computer
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup. The link directly above says how.

  • Can't get 2 Ipods onto one computer system-one Ipod frozen

    I got 2 Ipods for my kids for xmas. I can only get one Ipod to connect to the computer. I went to the Apple store and spoke directly to an associate that said, there is no problem it will be fine. I connected the Ipod to charge the battery and it said do not disconnect. However, my computer sends a message that said, USB port not recognized, please disconnet immediately. I did and know my daughters Ipod is frozen with do not disconnect on it. We have the 30GB Ipods and they have not been able to do anything with it since they got it for xmas. Any help would be very greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,

    Hey, I went and called Apple Support and actualy got a person!!! He talked me through some opening and adding information on my computer and both my girls can have their Ipods connect now. Not at the same time, just the computer recognizes both Ipods and they can do their downloads.
    The number is: 1-800-275-2273
    I hope this helps others.

    Hi kimcinma!
    Your previous purchases are saved on iCloud even if you bought them on another computer. If you can't find them on your current computer, you might need to unhide them. Go to iTunes preferences, and click on Store Preferences. Then click the box for "show iTunes in the Cloud purchases". Then click on OK, and everything you've ever bought from iTunes on that Apple ID will show up in your library. You will need to download them from iCloud first before you can synch them to your iPod Classic. To do this, click on the little cloud with the arrow in it next to your song, and it will download to your computer. When you have the music that you want downloaded, plug in your iPod and synch away. Hope this helps!

  • How do I sync my iPod onto a new computer?

    I want to sync my iPod onto my new computer with my new music and new pictures. But I dont want any of my apps and videos taken with the iPod to be deleted. What can I do to ensure that I dont loose any of my data, but get all the new data I want to sync?

    Ipod will sync pics and itunes content with one and only one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    Copy everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • Auto sync iPod on one computer, manually manage on other?

    I would like to be able to auto-sync my playlists to my iPod on one computer, but manually manage them on another.
    I have my iPod set to auto-update with my music library at home, but when I use it on my G5 at work, all my songs are grayed out and I can't play them. I don't have any songs on the work computer itself; I just want to be able to use iTunes to play what's on my iPod.
    It seems that the preference to auto vs manual update is for the iPod itself, not for iTunes on each computer.
    Is there any way short of changing the preferences each time to do what I want to do? Am I missing something totally obvious?
    Cheers!

    It may be that both systems think they "own" your iPod. I don't know if this will help, but give this a try:
    First, make sure that your home system is set to auto-sync and that it's synchronizing to your iPod correctly.
    Then, on your work system:
    1) locate the iTunes Library file (it normally will be in your users Home -> Music -> iTunes folder) and delete the folder.
    2) While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Command and Option keys. This should stop the iPod from auto synching with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
    3) Set the iPod preferences to manual synchronization. You should then, of course, be able to play tracks from your iPod.
    Take the iPod home and connect it to your home system. If luck holds, it will then not switch it to manual.
    Again, I don't know if this will help, but it's worth a try. Let us know if it works.
    Good luck.

  • How can I use two Ipods on one computer.

    I was wondering if it is possible to use 2 Ipods on one computer without having to reload all of the music to the new library.

    If you are adding a second iPod for your own use, just connect the new iPod to your computer and follow the on screen instructions. It will update from your existing library. Depending on the size of your library and the type of iPod you choose you can have it update all songs and playlists, selected playlists only or you can manage it manually
    If the iPods belong to different users then there are actually a few methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
    Just to summarise what's in the link above which is a little out of date:
    Method one is to have individual Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you completely separate iTunes Music folders and libraries.
    Method two is to set your preferences so that any or all of iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library:
    Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
    Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. You can read more about playlists at these links:
    iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    Another option when using a single library is to set any or all of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod
