Two ipod nanos with one that cannot dwnld songs

I purch. 2 nano ipos and installed the first one, then the second, but the screen to load or click and drag to load onto the nano is locked. Is there a way around having two nano's dwnld from the same computer? the same icon for itunes that is on my desktop?
I appreciate your reply.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You would want to manually update...
Manually Updating iPod
(You can play the movie in the above link)
Then you can drag the songs to the iPod.
Of course, you could just let it automatically update as it should be doing now and iTunes should load all the songs on your computer onto it.
But, to answer your question, if you want to drag music to the iPod nano, manually update.

Using two iPod Nanos on one computer

I just bought my husband an iPod Nano identical to mine (2Gb) but when I connect it to the computer, the setup assistant does not appear. When I go into device manager, it shows iPod and a question mark with an exclamation point superimposed. Any idea what to do to get the computer to recognize this second iPod?
Thanks
iPod Nano Windows XP Vaio

We have two identical ipods and also have different
music tastes, so when I download music onto one it
goes onto the other and I have to end up deleting
every thing and start again. Is there an easier way
of doing this.
Set them to "manually manage music".

Two IPod Nanos On One Computer..HELP

My son has an IPod Nano and has all his songs on my computer, he received free songs when we first hooked it up to ITunes.
Problem, my daughter now has the same IPod and is using my computer to get her music as well. When we first hooked hers up, she did not receive free music like my son did even though hers is registered too. How does she get the free music and how do we get it so she has her own music list? They do not like the same music and it is trying to put my son's music on hers.
Please someone help.

Using Facetime on two iPod Touches with one Apple ID

My wife and I both have new iPod Touches.
We use a single Apple ID between the two, so all app and song purchases are on one account.
But it appears we need separate Apple ID's to use Facetime? Is it possible for her to create her own Apple ID just for Facetime, but continue to apply purchases to my Apple ID account?

Is it possible for her to create her own Apple ID just for Facetime, but continue to apply purchases to my Apple ID account?
Yes.
(1) Some users find that they can create one more free email account and associate it with FaceTime as a separate caller iD associated with the same FaceTime iD.
Then assure that each iPod is configured with a unique Email address showing for the
FaceTime Account in Settings > FaceTime
(2) If you have already configured them separately but the problem persists, establish a new Apple iD specifically for use on the second iPod:
http://appleid.apple.com/
(3) I think you can configure the same iD for the iTunes Store in both iPod's by entering the same
info in the Settings > Store of both your iPods.
However, remember you purchase items via your account, not a specific device.
If you both synch to the same computer, these articles may help you:

New PC, 2 iPhones, 2 iPod nano's (one first generation) same account

I have a new PC with windows 7, my old PC had XP home both with 10.4.1. I have two iPhone 4's (mine and my wifes), I have two iPod nano's (one is a first generation). I have always used them with the same iTunes account I have never even had more than one account.
With that being said my problem is this: I installed iTunes on my new PC and tried to sync my iphone to it. It prompted me to back up my library and I did. Asked to authorize this computer and I said yes, it then proceeded to load my songs. After it was done which took for ever it promted me to erase and sync so I did. I did the same to my wifes iphone and the second generation iPod. That is when I notice it didn't copy all of the library, still short about 100 songs. These are songs purchased from iTunes not ripped from cd's.
When I plugged in my first generation iPod nano, I tried to upload the library from it to my iTunes on my new windows 7 PC. It prompted me to autorize this computer for this account. When I tried to authorize it a window said that 5 computers were already authorized for this account and I would have to deauthorize one. In iTunes I proceeded to check my account under the store tab. It said I had only 3 computers authorized of the posible 5. I tried this multiple times shut down and restarted my computer, still the same information, nothing.
I found a couple of items on this site that said I could "deauthorize all computers" from this account, but to becarefull you can only do this once a year. I tried that and went back authorized my new PC again, plugged in my ipod nano still prompted the same that 5 computers were already authorized but when I went to the store tab it said only 1 was authorized.
I then took the nano first gen and went back to my old PC with xp home. I had already removed iTunes from it, but pluged in my nano. It loaded right on it and installed all my music. I took my other nano plugged it in and it asked if I wanted to authorize this computer I ck'ed yes and then prompted to load purchased items ck'ed yes and it loaded right up. ITunes then wanted to erase and sync so I did that. After that was complete I took my first gen nano to the PC with windows 7. plugged it in and the window prompted to load or erase and sync. I ck'ed load purchased music. Window popped up with the authorizing this computer again. I ck'ed yes to Authorize it. Again stated "5 computers already authorized"
Again I went to the store tab and checked there. there are only 2 computers authorized.
What is up? Thanks for any help.

My brother in law is also a Masshole.
I'm not sure of the exact steps, it's been a little while since I've worked in that part of windows 2000, but here goes.
1. Go into the control panel from the start menu or My Computer
2. In the control panel there should be an option for computer management. Open that up and you should see a tree of options on the left side.
3. Right click on Users (or something like that) and then select add user. Then you assign the user name and password (blank is allowed under the defaults)
4. Once the account is set up you want to be sure that it is part of the Administrators group so that he'll still be able to install programs and such. If you highlight Groups you should be able to right click on Administrators and add the new account. You can also do this from the account setup screen as well, but I don't remember the specifics.
Like I said, that may not be exact since it's been a while, but that should at the very least get you in the ballpark.

I had an old iPod nano with my files saved on it and was stolen. I cannot find my old account. I bought an iTouch and made the new account that was needed for it to function. I was wondering how i could find my old account and get all the content back.

I bought an iPod touch and made a new account so that I could use the iTouch. Anyone know how to find the old account and how to transfer data from the old one to the new account?

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:

I have an iPod Nano with just the USB charger. Is it safe to plug this into a Kindle power adaptor to charge from the mains or will I need to buy the Apple one?

Hi,
Try resetting your iPod: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430.
If that doesn't work, try restoring it: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414.
If all else fails, you will have to place your iPod in Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.
Hope this helps!

I have two ipod nanos. And i have 2 itunes accounts and we are accessing both accounts from the same PC. One of my ipod works fine, it gets detected as a device and sync fine. The other one does not. Need help.

The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is ituens purchases. The ipod is not a backup device.
Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.

My grandson loaded music to my Ipod nano with his Mac computer. Now I'm trying to add music and I have a windows based computer. Itunes is asking me to reformat my Ipod for windows. Will that erase my music already added?

What do they replace a 1st generation ipod nano with now?

What do they replace a 1st generation ipod nano with now? from the recall.

Glad you were able to sort it out - iPod cables and USB ports can sometimes by mysterious in their variability - though in your case the symptoms suggest that a conductor may have failed inside the cable you were using. I've found that, using a selection of cables:
my 2G nano will occasionally be detected as being connected via USB 1.0 (even when connected to 2.0 ports)
my 3G nano syncs fine but steadfastly refuses to charge when connected to any of the USB ports on my main computer, though using the same cable charges happily when connected to a USB AC adapter
Such things are just sent to annoy us
On your other question, it is possible to completely replicate your library across two or more PCs. As long as the iTunes database (iTunes Library.itl) is duplicated as well as all your media you then have two physical copies of one logical library, with which iDevices will sync on either computer. See turingtest2's notes on Make a split library portable to see how to verify that your library is in a consistent structure to make replication easier, and Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy on one method for replication (typically using an external hard drive that also serves as a regular backup). My configuration looks like this:
where the library on my "master" system is replicated, using MS SyncToy and an external HDD, to two other systems - a secondary one at home and one in my office at work. My iDevices will sync to any of these without the "threat" of wiping their content because iTunes detects that they've been previously synced to a different library - because of the replication method used the "unique" library identifier that iTunes uses in the sync process is actually the same on all three systems.

Can I sync my ipod nano with my second computer/ netbook while travelling?

Looking for some advice on how to connect my IPod nano with my second computer while travelling. That's what happened: I have my iTunes library on my computer at home and can sync my IPod nano (6 th generation, replaced onyl recently) with that library. While I was travelling and wanted to use my IPod I received an error message asking me to connect the IPod with iTunes in order to recover/restore (sorry, the message apeared in German, so I do not know the exact wording in English) . As I only had my second computer - a small netbook - with me, I downloaded iTunes and connected the iPod - only to receive the message that this Ipod would sync with another computer (sure!) and would I want to sync it with this iTunes library instead now? (Of course not, I did not dare because that library was empty!). So there I was with my computer with iTunes library at home and an iPod stuck in recovery mode and not doing a thing during my vacation. Any suggestions? If I have to take my great big workstation with me to get the iPod running again, I might just as well leave the iPod immobile at home. (;-)

On your home computer connect your Nano, click on the name in iTunes, move right to the Summary tab then tick the box that says Manually Manage Music. You will now have to er, manually drag your music to your iPod, and manually eject it when done, but you will be able to add music from two different computers.

I work in a public library and we have two ipod touch and two ipod nanos we would like to circulate for our patrons. Any advice on how we can do this? Should we allow patrons to set the device up for personal use or download static content?

With the Nanos, you should have no problem lending them loaded with audiobooks from Librivox, etc.
As for the iPod Touches, I'm not sure the question is whether you should allow patrons to set up the device for personal accounts, but whether you can prevent them from doing so. Prepare to to a factory restore every time one is returned.
