Syncing ipod with 2 i tunes accounts
Newby here, set up an itunes accounts ages ago, forgot username and password so set up a second, put credit on, purchased some songs and tried to sync but would not let me as itunes recognised my ipod as different name, i.e library. Only thing I could do was delete all the songs I had on my ipod and load the new ones I purchased. So now in a position where I have 2 accounts with itunes one with all my old stuff on which I want to reload and the new one with only the few new purchases on my ipod. How do I go about getting the stuff from my first library onto my ipod. Also have the other problem that my credit balance is now on my new account. Hopefully I'm being dumb and there a simple answer Hope someone can help!
One account for iTunes music/movies/TV show as well as App purchases means you can share any items purchased easily. Settings -> Store -> Apple ID (tap on your Apple ID to change it)
You can get a 2nd account for iCloud. Settings -> iCloud -> Account

Trying to sync ipod with itunes library, but I keep getting this message, " The ipod is synced with another itunes library. Do you want to erase this ipod and sync with this i tunes library?"
I do not want to erase my ipod!!! Any suggestions?? please help!Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) 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.)

Hey apples, how do I get my iPhone 4 sync'ed with my itunes account using my laptop?
Hey apples, how do I get my iPhone 4 sync'ed with my itunes account using my laptop = how do I add my existing itunes from my account from my laptop to my iPhone 4. Thanks.
Overview of syncing iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with your computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
Keep in mind that with the iPhone, you can sync all iTunes content with only one computer. Trying to sync iTunes content with a second computer will result in iTunes erasing the content from the first computer. However, non-itunes content such as contacts, calendars, mail settings, notes, etc. (anything in the Info pane) can be synced from another computer.
If you have songs on a different computer, copy them to the computer you use to sync:

I have recently purchased an Ipod with 2430 tunes stored on it and I wish to transfer these tunes to I tunes and then upload them to another Ipod I own. In plain speak how do I do this please?
On-The-Go Playlists, created on your iPod Classic, are added to your iTunes Library when you Sync the iPod to the same iTunes Library that you have been using up to now.
But note that On-The-Go Playlists, saved on the Classic, are named as New Playlist 1, New Playlist 2, etc. and are listed at the end of the Playlists. When you Sync your iPod with its iTunes Library, those saved Playlists are transferred to the Library, renamed as On-The-Go X (where X is the next available number) and then added back to your iPod with the new name. They will also be in correct alphabetical order, so they will be in the Playlists list under O for On-The-Go.
If you also have an On-The-Go Playlist on the iPod (which has not been saved), that too will be uploaded to iTunes in the same manner.
For some unknown reason, you will also probably see one extra, but empty, Playlist created in iTunes. This is a bug, which may get fixed one day! Until then, you simply have to delete in in iTunes. -
I have a new iPhone 5s. When I try to sync it with my iTunes account it is unable and advises to update iTunes to version 11.1. Whn I attempted this iTunes advised that the current version I have (10.6.3) is the most up to date!
If you're on a Mac, you need to upgrade it to Mac OS X 10.6.3 and then 10.6.8, which requires that it has an Intel CPU and at least 1GB of RAM.

Create another user for the PC with your name, and try syncing that way.
This way it wont conflic with the other user. -

Cannot sync ipod with itunes after setting up new computer with newest version of itunes
Cannot sync ipod with itunes after setting up on new computer, only songs which tansferred were songs bought on new computer after set up, tried to sync songs and it deleted old songs from ipod. How can I get them back on ipod?? They are showing in music library on itunes still.
If the iPod database gets corrupted, it will add files to "Other" instead of where they really belong.
Restoring the iPod will erase this database and recreate it.
And if I do this, won't I just have the same issue when my iPod is re-updated to the most recent version again?
No, it shouldn't. This is why you Restore the iPod. It erases the corrupt database. -
I share an iTunes account with my sister, though on two seperare computors. I want to create my own account. Will I be able to sync my iPod with my newly created account without losing anything?
as long as you make sure your iTunes is authorized for both Apple ID's, yes.

Syncing ipod with two different libraries, same account
I am trying to sync my ipod with all of the old songs from my itunes account i used on our old computer that are already on it, with my new computer's library that i just set up. I have turned on home sharing and it still won't let me sync it I keep getting a message that I have to erase all the songs from my ipod in order to put the 11 songs i just purchased on there? That seems weird and unnecessary! Please help! thanks!

So my family generally uses one Itunes account. I recently got my own credit card so I decided to open up my own Itunes account so I didn't have to ask one of my parents to put in the password every time I wanted to do something related to the itunes store. Now 99% of my songs/apps are linked to the old account, so from what I have read, all of the songs I purchased will be deleted. How do I transfer all of the songs on my ipod to my new computer with the new account? Without having to pay for 3rd party tools.
The way to keep the photos from downloading to your wife's phone would be for her to go to Settings > iCloud > Photos > and turn off iCloud Photo Library. If that isn't an option, the other option would be for her to have her own Apple ID ( and possibly explore the new family sharing options https://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/ )
Regarding the "related question" see the quotes below from iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
Deleting a photo or video from your Photos app will also remove the item from iCloud Photo Library and from your iCloud storage allocation. Photos and videos you remove can be recovered from the Recently Deleted album for 30 days. After 30 days, your content will be removed from the Recently Deleted album.
If you want to reduce the space used by photos on your phone, rather than deleting them see the following:
How does iCloud Photo Library save space on my device?
If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your iOS device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. iCloud Photo Library stores the original, high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and can keep lightweight, device-optimized versions on each of your devices. As long as you have enough storage, recent photos and videos that you access the most will stay on your device at full resolution.
You can turn on Optimize [device] Storage from Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera > iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You need an Internet connection to access an original photo or video that’s stored only in iCloud. -

Using 2 iPods with one iTunes account.
I share a computer with someone who also has a iPod and we have one version of iTunes downloaded. Although we have seperate user names iTunes seems to autosync what she's put in the library to my iPod and vise-versa. We would love to share some of the files that we pay for, but we certainly don't want to share everything. Is the best option for us to just sync our files manuelly instead of auto-syncing?
ThanksThere 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
