Two iPods and one DJ!

Hey - I hope someone here can help me!
I have two iPods (iTouch and 30g Classic) in my house both running off my current machine (HP Pavillion). The Classic is my girlfriend's and the 'touch is my own and they work off one iTunes account which is mine!
The problem I have though is that I just purchased a Samsung Q210 and I want to transfer the music from the HP onto the new machine and I want to use the new machine for updating the 'Touch and I am going to refurbish the HP so that my girlfriend can use it and let her run the Classic from it.
The problem is that I have to deauthorise the HP so I can use the 'touch from my new machine but if I do that my girlfriend won't be able to use the HP to run iTunes for her Classic!
Its pretty complicated and made more so by Apple! I can't find an answer to my problem anywhere and its driving me nuts! Can anyone help?
Thanks
T'Rez

My girlfriend doesn't have an iTunes account but I was going set one up for her so she can have her own music etc on the machine.
Fine. Just authorize the HP to her iTunes Store account, or set up the account directly from here system and it will automatically be authorized.
But I've purchased a good bit of music for her on my account. I don't upload it to the 'Touch but just to her Classic. But if I deauthorise the HP from my Account she's going to lose a bulk of that because of the DRM.
Then don't deauthorize the HP; there's no need to since, as I said, a single computer can be authorized to up to five iTunes Store accounts. If you're going to completely scrub the HP to start fresh, deauthorize it from your account, do the rebuild, then reauthorize it to your account as well as to hers.
Again, I don't think you have any worries.

    We have 3 iPods and 3 iPads in our house. To of the iPods and one of the iPads will not connect to the Internet. Our Internet is dlink. Can anyone help?

    Do the devices connect to other networks?
    Do they see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did they connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Two ipods and one itune

    Hello, I have two ipods but just one itunes.
    I can´t add music for one of my ipod´s. The itune recognize just one.
    What i have to do?
    Thank you!

    OK.... I've ran into a problem and don't know how to proceed with this.
    The 2nd user is set up with their ITunes account and we have successfully purchased a few songs.
    What I expected to do was sync their Ipod and have the songs already on their IPod copy into the "new" Library we just set up. However, indications are that if I use "sync", it will erase the songs presently on the IPod and then only put back the few new songs we just purchased. (I tried a few other things but cannot get the songs from the IPOD into the ITunes Library or any other folder to preserve them)
    1. If it is even possible, how do I get the songs off the IPod into the newly established Library?
    2. If I indeed cannot sync the IPOD / Library - how do I get the newly purchased songs from the Library to the IPOD without erasing the songs already on the Ipod.
    Thanks, hope you can help!

  • I have two iPads and one iPod Touch and they are using iTunes on the same computer.

    I have two iPads and one iPod Touch and they are using iTunes on the same computer. I have not been able to backup the second iPad. Is there a reason this is happening? iPad one is an iPad 1 and the second is an iPad 2 not sure if this has something to do with it. I just tried to upgrade to IOS 5 and when it went to back up it gave me an error code (-5000). I tried to back up using iTunes and it told me that my backup was corrupted and to delete it and try to back up again. When I went into the device portion where I was instructed to go to delete the backup I found that there was no backup for my iPad just the iPad 1.
    I have synced many times and all of the apps, podcasts, music, etc... show up in iTunes, and iTunes recognizes that is is the second iPad but there is not a backup for it.
    Any Ideas?

    This is in the iPad forum, but anyway, your music should still be in iTunes. What happens when you try to sync your iPod with iTunes?

  • How can I synchronize two iphones and two ipods on one MAC

    How can I synchronize two iphones and two ipods on one MAC. My wife and i each have our own iPods and iPhones but share one MAC.

    What do you mean by synchronize; music, apps, calendars, email, etc? Do you two share the same Apple ID on all devices? An Apple ID can support up to 5 computers and many iDevices.
    I hope this helps.

  • I have two ipods and i want to put the music all on one. how do i do that?

  • How do I manage two iPods on one computer please?

    I have an iPod (early 40G model, and it's fine). I installed iTunes, and all fine. A year goes by. Another member of the household gets an iPod (mini), and we load the software into a different subdirectory in Program Files. This erases my iTunes, but all still works fine for some reason. i.e. when I attach my iPod, it is recognised, and my iTunes music is shown on the screen. When the other iPod is attached, same thing (i.e. it is recognised and her iTunes are shown on the screen). Our different music folders are stored in different subdirectories.
    This is all fine, until her iPod erases itself, and is now no longer recognised by iTunes. In the processes advised for solving this situation (restore and reset etc) we erase my iPod (but have managed to restore music to if after re-installing the original software that came with it.)
    So now we are back to the stage of having her iPod not being recognised by iTunes. Please suggest solutions! Please also advise if there is a more sensible way of managing two iPods on one PC. Is it really as basic as having different playlists?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Yep. Playlists will do it.

  • How do i get two ipods on one computer

    Ok How can I share songs with two ipods on one computer!!! Help PLEASE !!!!!!!!!1

    There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Have a look at the article linked below. Method one is to have two Windows accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Method two is to set your preferences so each iPod is updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look anyway and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer

  • Can I use two ipods on one PC?

    Hi, I have my own ipod, but would like to get another for my boyfriend but he doesn't have a PC, therefore everything would have to be done from mine, including different albums etc. I am sure I can do this but how does it work?
    Cheers

    Hello Soo,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Yes you can. And there are several different methods for how to handle syncing two iPods to one computer. For the information and steps on how to handle these methods, I would check out this Apple support document.

  • Can you have two iPods for one computer?

    I know nothing about iPods so please excuse me for this question that probably has an obvious answer. My sister has an iPod nano that she has been using with our computer for a long time. I just bought an iPod and was trying to set it up. So can I use her i tunes to put music on my ipod or how does it work? I am aware you are not supposed to steal music though. So what am I supposed to do?

    Yes, you can use 2 iPod with 1 computer quite easily.

  • ICloud - have two iPads and one Macbook and want to sync reminders on all three

    iCloud - have two iPads and one Macbook and want to sync reminders on all three. I have managed to get the Macbook and one iPad to sync, but wjat about the other iPad?

    First check that all your settings are correct, that reminders syncing (calendars on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the reminders you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone'  or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device by tapping the icon with three lines in the top left corner of the screen, or the right side panel by clicking on the small triangle to the right of the word 'Reminders' in iCal on a computer), non iCloud reminders will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your reminders are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking reminders syncing (calendars syncing on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.
