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!

  • Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?

    You can't do that.
    And before you decide to store any music that you own on a computer at work, talk to your IT department. Many organizations do not permit it for legal reasons. Standard policies are that anything stored on company owned computers is the property of the company. It could not be legally stored on their machines unless you transfer the licenses and all copies, physical and digital, to the company, meaning you no longer own the music. If they were to be audited and could not prove that they own the music, they would be subject to copyright violation penalties. Just use your iPod when you're at the office if you want to listen to music.

  • Hi. We have two iphones and one Itunes account. How do back up each one without getting the others contacts

    Hi. We have two iphones and one Itunes account. How do back up each one without getting the others contacts and without syncing each phone to each other?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, providing you with your own contacts, calendars etc, not doing so will result in exactly what you have experienced. The contacts have likely been lost due to the options you have chosen at the login stage on each device.
    Unless you have the missing contacts in a backup file, they won't be recoverable unfortunately. You can add them manually to the contracts that already exist and continue to share the iCloud account if you wish, but I suggest that you each have your own iCloud account.
    Note, you can each have your own iCloud account, but continue to share an iTunes account for purchases of apps, books, music, TV shows etc etc.

  • A Tale of Two iPhones and One iTunes

    So this little problem has plagued us for years... nearly three to be more precise.  We have two iPhones and one PC.  Wife syncs contacts with GMail and I sync contacts with Outlook.  Funny thing was that the tab for contact sync would not 'stick' with the phone... if I synced mine first, when I plugged hers in it would still be setup for Outlook.  Or if I changed it to Google for her and then plugged mine in it wouldn't remember my phone wanted Outlook and would sync with Google.  I gave up trying to get it working and setup a seperate profile on the PC for my wife that really was only used for her to sync her phone.  The only drawback we could see was we couldn't have a single repository for apps and I had to add music to libraries twice (one for each profile on the computer). 
    Well, now that we're on the 4S I thought I'd see if iTunes has evolved since 3 years ago when I gave up.  I uninstalled all Apple applications and loaded the latest iTunes.  The cool part of iOS 5 and the new iTunes is we don't have to connect phones any more   So now both phones show up at the same time.  I can toggle through all the tabs and see how they differ... different sets of applications are selected, different photo options, music options, etc.  EXCEPT the tab with contacts.  If I set her phone to google, my phone changes too.  I set mine back to Outlook and hers changes to Outlook.  We've mixed and matched contacts several times trying to get them to stay in tune and that is a huge PITA to clean up. 
    I tried the Genius bar.  The Genius answer was that we should probably do a restore on the phone.  I asked him to help me understand how restoring one phone would solve a problem that existed across 4 phones (two 3G's and two 4S's) and untold versions of iTunes over three years.  He just insisted that we probably need to do a restore on the 4S.  You know, because that would clearly explain the problem we also had on the 3G.  His backup plan was to call Apple support.
    So before I submit a ticket to Apple, anyone else able to confirm this limitation?  I've checked with my friends and the ones that have iPhones don't sync their contacts anywhere.  iCloud will help but we use XP and the PC software requires Vista or better so for now we're still unable to sync our contacts to our PC.
    Thanks!

    On your wife's phone, when you said you've done a restore, was that a restore from backup or as a "new" device? I would suggest deleting the .ipsw file/files on your computer, connecting your wife's phone and restore as "new". When finished, DO NOT SYNC, rather eject the phone and test, verify that all is working correctly. If so, connect her phone & sync her content back.
    The .ipsw file is located here, delete all you find, there should only be one:
    ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
    If this works, under preferences, devices, in itunes, delete her backups, as they are most likely corrupted.

    The OP didn't ask how.  They only asked if it was possible, which would consist of either a yes or no answer, which is exactly what Niel provided. 
    If the OP wanted more information, they will respond asking for more information.

  • TS1398 Have 3 iPods and 3 iPads in our house. Our Internet is dlink. Two iPods and one iPad will not connect. Help?

    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
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - 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.

  • Can I have Two iPods on one iTunes???Help Me!

    Hey There,
    I'm just wondering if I can have 2 ipods on the same iTunes (can i put my library on a friends new ipod?????)
    Help me! Last time i tried something with i tunes i lost my music.
    Thx

    Khiemke,
    Theres two ways to use One computer with 2 iPods and have each iPod have its own music, one is to creat 2 playlist, another is to create 2 user accounts in windows. This is all explained at the link below, personally I think the 2 user accounts in Windows is Best. If you go this route make sure "Fast User Switching" is OFF in windows, iTunes doesn't like this feature on.

  • 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.

  • Two ipods to one itunes?

    how do i download music for two ipods on the same itunes? How can i do this without having my songs on theirs and their songs on mine? i'm just really confused and i'd apreciate you're help! I've had a nano for 3 weeks and cant use it yet!
    THANK YOU!

    There are 3 main methods for doing this, First tho just a caution, its highly recommended by apple you do not connect more than one iPOd at a time for syncing.
    Method 3 is you just simply connect the iPods to the PC, this will load the EXACT same library to each iPOd
    Method 1 and 2 are for connecting the iPods to one computer, but having separate music on each iPod, One involves creating 2 or more playlist, each one only having your songs in them, then setting the iPod to update only those playlist. the other method is to create 2 user accounts in windows. this is in more detail at the link below

  • Managing two Ipods off one itunes list

    i have an extensive library and have two Ipods (30g & 2nano) how could you manage most playlist on 30 and a couple playlist on the other - is it possible? how can you updae only a portion?

    Set your IPODs to "Auto Update Selected Playlists Only" or set them to "Manual Update"
    Question: Can I update more than one iPod with my computer?
    Answer: Yes. Each iPod communicates a unique device identification number to your computer, allowing you to take advantage of automatic music transfers to your iPod even if you share a computer with another iPod user. You can choose to automatically update your entire music collection on multiple iPod players or choose to update selected playlists, allowing you to transfer custom playlists to individual iPod players.

  • Two ipod touches, one itunes?

    My kids just got new ipod touch 4G's and I would like to sync them both to a single home computer running Win7 with iTunes 10.5.1.  I should also add that I currently sync my iphone 4 running v4.3.3 to the same iTunes/PC.  Can anyone suggest a good (as in easy) way to do this?  I appreciate any help, and my kids would be ever so grateful!
    I've read the three options suggested on Apples supprt page, however, I would appreciate more input as to which method most people perfer.

    The way my family does this is on the shared computer make seperate accounts for both children and install itunes on their own account. This way, they can just go to their account whenever they want to sync their ipods and you don't have to worry about making seperate libraries for the different accounts!

  • Can I do two iPods on one iTunes on my computer?

    I have a previous iPod and created a library. Now I have a new iPod and do not want all the same songs on both iPods. Is it possible and what do I have to do?

    Hi all.
    I would like to add to this topic if I may. What If I wanted to use my existing library with my new ipod touch and still keep accessing it with my older ipod video? Would this cause problems? Is it even possible? I would imagine I tunes would recognize the different ipod and function properly. Although any purchased files [m4p's] might not copy over to the new pod but ripped mp3's should work fine. I believe I did do this once or twice with a Razor Cell phone that had itunes built into it with no problem. please advise if you can....

    Check the artile Niel posted - it will outline everything you need to know.
    You can do it easily - We've got 3 iPods in our family and all load diffent playlists. You just need to disable iTunes from automatically loading the iPods with everything in iTunes.
    Create a playlist for music and another playlist for video. Have the old player only sync the music playlist and the new player only sync the video playlist - you're done.
