Two iPod Mini's

I purchase a Mini for for two daughters. I installed the software and formatted the first one without any problems. Now, how do I set and format the second iPod Mini? I looked at instruction manual and there isn't a single topic on this issue.
Any help will be greatly appreciated

.
I tried that updater thing, but it's not letting me do anything. I have different accounts. I tried downloading the iPod software, but it gets stuck and gives me this error...

In the link above using two iPods, it just says to make another user account. If I just plug the iPod Mini in, the comp recognizes it as another drive, but not an iPod on the iTunes.
I'm a bit ignorant...

Two Ipod minis on one computer???

I just installed a second Ipod mini on my computer for my husband and I was able to download all his music onto it. But when I went to update my Ipod, iTunes doesn't recogize my Ipod now. What do I need to do to be able to have two iTune programs that work with two different Ipods?? I created the 2nd iTunes under a different user name. I thought I did everything right. HELP!!

Just resetting your iPod may cure the fact that iTunes doesn't recognize your iPod. Hold down the menu/select buttons until you see the Apple logo. Do this whilst it's connected.

Two ipod minis on the same network

I am trying to sync my ipod mini but it keeps taking me to my brother's library and online setup. We are on the same network. How do I get back to mine?

No. It seems like when I upgraded to the new iPod software it erased my library. He took off sharing so I don't go to his library anymore, but now all my songs are gone. I am on a PC...

Need help -- iTunes won't recognize two ipod minis

Suddenly our iMac has stopped recognizing both of my kids iPod minis. When connected to a firewire port, the screens on both minis show the animation for "battery charging" -- but neither one appears in iTunes. This problems had never occurred before. This is what I have tried to do so far without success: tried each mini in different firewire ports; repaired permissions; restarted computer; tried a different cable.
As you can imagine, both of my kids consider this an urgent issue . . . .

have you read this before?

Help with two Ipods on Same Computer

I have several questions in this one thread...
I have two Ipods (Mine and my wifes). We each have seperate user names on the PC. I have all my music in the Public Folder, Music, Itunes. I have both Itunes preferences setup to share libraries, I have both setup to use that as one library, and I have considated the libraries. So the problems:
1. How can I insert a new CD we own and have it be in the library and both Ipods sync it? I placed a new CD we own and it is syncing to my ipod, but not my wifes. I confirmed it is in the shared folder.
2. Can you both use the songs you purchase on Itunes? It is saying no when I am syncing hers for songs I purchased on my acct. But I thought it could be on 5 different devices.
Thank you for any help. I have searched high and low and I am sure the solution is here somewhere, but I keep doing what I find with no success.

If the old iPod works, the new iPod will work.
Simply plug it in.
Create a new playlisy with the songs you want.
Open iTunes orefs -> iPOd.
Select Automatically update only selected playlists.
Select the playlist you just created.
That is all.

IPod mini wake up despite hold

I press the "play" button to turn off the ipod mini and its screen.
Then I move the "hold" button to disable all buttons.
After a day or two, ipod mini will suddenly wake up (its screen is on) and music can be played.

You most likely have an alarm set.
To check go to extras/clock/alarm and set it to off. Check the calendar also, extras/calendar/alarm.

Having TWO problems with my iPod mini.

I've had my ipod mini for a year and a half. I only ever use it 2-3 times a week for 30 mins at a time at the gym, and sometimes in the car. Already I'm having two problems.
Problem #1- Battery. I've noticed alot of other people on here seem to be having this problem aswell. I'll charge it fully and leave it in the charger over night. I disconnect it, Start playing it, and 1 or 2 songs later I get the message saying "battery low, please connect to power source" It just came OFF a power source. I have 2 different ways that I charge my ipod. I use the computer. And I have a clock radio that it sits in to play the ipod and charges it at the same time. It dosen't matter which I use.. I have the problem either way.
Problem #2- When the battery actually is working(which is rare) sometimes the music sounds like it's under water. Basically, The music plays, but with very low bass. I usually either listen to it through my car adapter, or through my headphones and I get the same problem either way. This isn't all the time though.
I've never dropped it, gotten it wet or left it in the sun. It's had no physical damage at all.
Does anyone know what may me going on? I've followed the steps and tips from other posts on the battery issue but nothing has worked for me. The only thing I can think of (and probably the only thing anyone can recommend) is that I send it in to get it repaired. However, I refuse to do that. I don't think I should have to pay to repair apple's 1.5 year old products especially since I paid close to $300 for it in the first place. I also don't want to receive a refurbished one, I want MINE fixed or a brand new one(which I know won't happen).
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

1. Place 1 drop of rubbing alcohol on the home button.
2. Press the button repeatedly with pencil eraser making sure to get liquid into area surrounding button.
3. Dry off area with paper towel.
4. Press home button until it works again.

I have two iPod touch games trying to connect on mine craft. the one trying to join the game just keeps "searching for wifi games", we are in the same house, wifi working. HELP

I have two ipod touch. When trying to join game the second keeps "searching wifi games", we have connected with a friend before here. can't seem to connect HELP

Thanks, Bob! You are correct. And, we learned this as we spoke with APPLE TECH SUPPORT by phone on Christmas day (800-APL-CARE). One of their reps spent the time to help us troubleshoot this, but the boiled down conclusion is your answer, and to repeat for the benefit of others, here is what worked:
1. With our Belkin router set to "out-of-the-box" WEP 64 bit security, we could not get wireless access of any kind. Only with the Security Mode set to DISABLED, could we gain access.
2. Changing the router's security mode setting to "WPA/WPA-2...." and entering a new min. 8 char passphrase, and then entering that same passphrase into the IPOD Touch, and restarting the router, did the trick!
Based on this, and some info found in another posting, I can only conclude that the IPODs and IPHONES do not support WEP security mode in many generic routers used by thousands of consumers. Hopefully, those same consumers can figure out how to change their wireless router setttings to WPA/WPA-2 security mode and ALSO get all their other wireless devices (PCs, laptops, WII boxes, ROKU boxes) all reconfigured to WPA mode, too.
I THINK THE BOTTOM LINE HERE IS THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE THAT APPLE NEEDS TO ADDRESS WITH WEP COMPATIBILITY and it may also be the case that MOST CONSUMERS ARE USING WEP 64 BIT security on their home wireless routers?
In any case, it's working now, so anyone who is having problems should try changing to WPA mode and post back here if it worked for them!

What do the beeps of an iPod Mini mean? Two pairs of two to be specific.

Hi everyone. I have my iPod Mini connected to my Macbook. Everything was normal, but then the screen flashed and it started to beep in two pairs of two. Does anybody knows what do these beeps mean?
Hola a todos. Tengo mi iPod Mini conectado a mi Macbook. Todo iba bien, pero luego la pantalla se prendió por un momento y comenzaron a sonar dos pares de dos bips. ¿Alguién sabe qué significan estos bips?

Hi Lakshmi,
Thankyou for responding. So here's what happened. This procedure passes a pl/sql table of records as one of its output parameters which I pick up and pass to another service that accepts this pl/sql table as input. Now, we decided to change the structure of the pl/sql table of records - basically just added few more parameters to it. So after this was done I went ahead and regenerated both of my pl/sql procedure adapters based services using the "Edit with Adapter Configuration Wizard' . After this I started facing the above mentioned problem.

Copyright Question - two ipods with iTunes Music

I apologize if this was answered in an FAQ or some other obvious place. I have googled around and can't seem to find the answer.
I have just purchased my wife an iPod for Christmas, making us a two iPod household (including mine). Until this point my wife and I have shared music CDs. She would keep one for a bit in the car or at the house and after a bit I would take it and listen to it in my car, at the gym etc.
How do we do this with iTunes? If I purchase an Album on iTunes, can I listen to it for a while on my iPod and then somehow transfer it to her account for her to then listen to for a while on her iPod? Does the copyright regulations of iTunes allow for sharing music around on different iPods?
Thanks in advance for any assistance. We do try our best to stay legal on all fronts in the digital age!

Thanks for the speedy answer to a newb! So far the wife and I are LOVING our iPODs, and due to the quality of the nano Gen4 (they are SOLID) are considering our first MAC purchase (heck I have wanted to go MAC since Windows Me )
Just so I understand, if I copied the iTunes my wife purchased onto a thumb drive, then put the drive in my PC and opened itunes and did Add to Library, I could then select that drive and import them in? And I could then sync those iTunes to my iPod?
Thanks again!!

IPod mini doesn't play ANY songs!!! Please Help

My iPod mini doesn't play any songs. It doesn't play purchased music from the iTunes Music Store, ripped CDs, or ANYTHING. On the iPod I go to play a song but the music time counter remains on 0:00. When it does this faint sounds of the song trying to start can be heard, but then a lot of static comes up. A song did start once but it stoped at 7 seconds. I've tried the 5 Rs and everything I can think of! Please Help!

Try resetting your iPod and/or resyncing the files to the iPod. Also below are two articles that may help
