Two computer - 1 ipod

I read the information for having two computers and one ipod. My question is I sync'd my ipod with my main computer and used it for a few weeks. I wanted to sync it to another computer but when I did I accidently made that one the home computer and lost everything that was previously on there. What should I do when I hook it back up to the main computer to make sure this doesn't happen again?

Connect it to the computer you do not want it to update with.
iTunes prefs -> iPod.
Select Manually update songs.
I'd like to stop using my laptop for the itunes, but my laptop is the one where I bought stuff through, now how to I get those into my desktop so I don't loose them?
Get them onto the desktop somehow (network, burn cd, whatever).
Get them into iTunes. Log into the iTMS.
Play the song and it will now be authorized to work on that computer.

We have itunes music on a computer, an ipod nano, and a new ipod touch under two different accounts. How can we combine the music from both accounts to one device?

There is no "adding" a device. Simply plug the iDevice into the computer. iTunes should automatically detect the device when it is connected.
iTunes can sync/manage as many iDevices as you want... there is no 1 device limit.

Sync problem - earlier today I updated both iTunes and my iPod Touch. Since then, I have tried syncing the two. The iPod Touch claims that there is no music on the iPod, however, when I connect it to my computer it says my full library is on there.

Thanks for any help!

- Have you reset your iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next would be to backup your iPod and then restore you iPod from backup via iTunes.

Two Different Generation IPod Nanos and one Computer

Okay so my boyfriend and I have two different geneeration IPod Nanos and one computer.. does it affect either device's performance ? and is it possible to have itunes setup so that he can have he's music sync to he's Ipod and vice ver sa without having any hassle? .. does this make any sence?

In your case it is most likely a drive letter confusion issue. Take a look at the following article and see if the steps help fix your issue:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

The Same Album is Split Into Two On My iPod

Okay this may be hard to explain but here it goes...
I bought a CD, and imported it onto my iTunes library. No big deal. It imported fine. Then I tried importing it onto my 4th Generation iPod Touch (32GB). The album has 10 tracks, and it was split into two on my iPod. One album has all tracks 1-10, while the other has tracks 2-10. But when I search up the song on my iPod (on the songs list), it only comes up as one. I tried deleted the album that has tracks 2-10, but when I do, the tracks 2-10 on the other album get deleted, so I'm only left with Track 1.
This is starting to get really confusing for me and I don't know what to do. In my iTunes library it comes up as one album, on iTunes when I look at my songs list it comes up as one album, and even on my actual iPod on the songs list, there's only 1 version of each song, but on the albums list, there's 2 versions of the same album.
Please help! Thanks so much !!

In iTunes on your computer right click on the songs and select Get Info and look at the sorting. From iTunes Help
Tips for using song and CD info to organize your music
You can edit information in the Info window to make it easier to find and sort items in your library. For example, you can:
Group individual movements on a classical CD into one work by indicating the name of the work (for example, “Piano concerto in A Minor, Op. 54”) in the Grouping field.
Group songs that are part of a compilation together in your library by clicking Details and selecting the checkbox next to “Album is a compilation of songs by various artists”.
Identify the individual artists on a tribute album in the Artist field, and type “various” in the Album Artist field.
Create your own genre category by clicking Details and typing the category in the Genre field.
Change the order in which tracks on a CD play by changing the numbers in the Track fields.
Create a Smart Playlist that includes only songs that are just the right speed for your workout by typing the number of beats per minute in the BPM field. For instructions, see Create a Smart Playlist.
Identify a movie as a music video (click the Options button, and choose Music Video from the Media Kind pop-up menu).
Identify an item that you imported from a CD as an audiobook, so it appears under Audiobooks instead of Music (click the Options button and choose Audiobook from the Media Kind pop-up menu). If you do this, iTunes also remembers your place in the audiobook.
Enter custom sorting criteria for an item. Select the item, choose File > Get Info, click Sorting, and enter the custom text.

Two computer??

hi, excuse my ignorance!!!
but i have an itunes account on a desktop computer and an account on a laptop, my question is can i plug my ipod into both computers without losing any of my music???
so can i retrieve songs from both accounts without losing anything???
thanks in advance

If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer or with more than one library you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different. You can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library. One exception to this is the iPod shuffle which is designed to be used with a single computer:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod
Syncing Music to iPod
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

Two Questions, 2 ipods one comp, and video organization.

Two questings That I have. One, my wife might be getting another IPOD and just wondering how it all works with hooking up two ipods to one computer. My friend tried hookin his up to mine and it just said something about erasing all he has and putting my library on his. So is it possible to have two different libraries, for two different ipods, on one comp? SECOND question. Is there anyway I can organize the Video area a little better. maybe make another folder or section, you know one for podcast, one for movie trailers, one for featurettes instead of having them all in one spot?

I think you have to go into itunes settings and select update only checked songs or manual update only. Sharing the same computer while managing different music lists between two or more ipods is do-able but a pain. I recommend keeping a seperate computer for each ipod whenever possible. And never delete the music on your computer as that's your first line of backing up defense.
This link might help your folders question but I haven't checked it out yet:

How do I give a separate task ID to two compute waveform sub vi's running sumiltaneously in one vi?

I'm running two compute waveform sub vi's in one main vi. The idea is to output two signals that I can vary independently to each other but when I hook LabVIEW up to a Oscilloscope, I only get one output and the other is just a flat line. I noticed that I'm unable to modify the subvi's independently ie: I change the duty cycle on one and its changed on both of them. Do I need to assign a separate task ID? If so, how do I do this?

Hello;
In case you are outputing two waveforms to two analog output channels, you don't need to have two task IDs to accomplish that.
In case you want to vary one of the two waveforms and keep the other one stable, you can juct modify the buffer array of data points that will be output. Once you configure a analog output channels for two channels of the same DAQ device, you first setup a buffer of data, and such buffer is formed in a way that first data point goes to channel 0, second data poing goes to channel 1, third data point to channel 0 again, fourth data point to channel 1, and so on. That means you can alter only the data points that correspond to one of the channels, while keeping the other ones fixed. That will make only one analog output channel t
o change.
Hope this helps.

You did install the latest iTunes (10.5) right? If the problem was that iTunes does not see the iPod try:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
