Two iPods on same internet

My son and I each have iPods. I am not sure how to seperate them from each other. Every time I add a song to my iPod it also adds to my sons when he plugs his iPod in to the same computer. How do I seperate these? Please help!

    You've got it right, Chirs, except that it's actually Edit->>preferences->>iPod instead of "File"... Just trying to prevent a confusion.

  • Two ipods on same computer?

    there are two ipods as well as seperate itunes on my computer.
    i recently had trouble with this, as it deleted all my songs off my itunes.
    the other itunes on the other file is fine.
    how can i stop this from happening again?

    When only one iPod is connected, select it in the iTunes source list, click on its name, and type a new name. You may then need to follow the instructions in this article.

  • 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.

  • Automatic Synchronize two IPODS from same owner?

    Hi there,
    I own appr. 3000 CD's. I have two ipods 60 GB. 1 is for classical music, 1 is for Pop, Jazz, Worldmusic. In this way i can keep a certain "system", much easier to find. In the car or my holidayhome (and my office) i want to have all my music with me. So i do not want any playlists. Also it is not easy to write down all you import in Itunes and then transfer it to the ipod concerned. I will never know whether i missed a cd once in a while. That's why i like the synchronization so much. I asked the applestore in my city how i could synchronize each of the ipods with "their own music". They didn't know. It was suggested (but not confirmed) to install another version of itunes on a different drive (f.i. D)and transfer "classical" to that version of itunes. Further, delete in the first itunes the classical music,leaving "the rest of the music". In my view it is much to complicated so i didnot try it yet. Who has another idea? Or can anyone confirm what was suggested by the apple store?

    Hi,
    Thanks for trying to help me out. Making different playlists for each category does not help (i think), since i would like to be able to make extra playlists within a certain category and could i make a playlist within a playlist? Found a other solution "for the time being", but only in my situation (and for all others having more pc's) install on the other pc a "different" itunes, use a external hard disk to save the music data. Then make different directories in which to save the categories concerned. Since i would only use 1 ipod on 1 pc everything should work out fine. Still not happy with these "workarounds" it should be more simple. Maybe i try the two different profiles as mentioned in the first reply on my question.

  • Two iPods on Same Account--Need to Remove One!!

    I added a second iPod to my account in December 2007. The new iPod is my son's. At first iTunes maintained separate purchases and libraries for our individual iPods, but now it will recognize all of our combined purchases, but only his library. I have purchased songs on my account that I do not want him to have access to so we need separate accounts, libraries, etc.
    I have tried restoring both iPods and have even set up a completely separate account now for his iPod. The remaining problem, though, is that I can't get his iPod off of my original account so his library continues to "override" mine.
    Please help!!!!

    iPods are not tied to specific accounts. Only iTunes libraries are. You can hook up any iPod to your account and sync your library onto it. You can then move the iPod to a different library and sync it to that library instead.
    Sounds like your issue is with iTunes libraries and authorization. First off, are you trying to use the same iTunes library? Or do you both have different user accounts on the same computer? Or do you have two computers?

  • Syncing two ipods on same computer

    When my son synced his ipod (20GB, no video) to our computer my daughter lost her ability to synce her ipod (30GB w/video). Is it possible to have two different itunes libraries and sync both ipods on the same computer? If so, what changes do I need to make?

    There are basically two ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
    a) Sharing a single iTunes library and user account.
    b) Creating multiple user accounts and having separate libraries.
    Sharing a Library
    If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish):
    Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
    Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
    iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    Or you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
    Separate User Accounts
    Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists

  • Help?registerd two ipods on same folder

    This is the dad who does not know nothing,both of my daughters got nanos and i think I registerd them to the same folder.I would like tem seperate.please tell me how.
    thanks thedad

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    There are two methods of managing multiple iPods on one computer.
    Method 1 - Create different user accounts for each iPod on your computer.
    Method 2 - Create different playlists in iTunes for each iPod.
    To make method two work for you, first make the playlist. Then go to "Edit -> Preferences -> iPod". Make your setting to "automatically update selected songs". Select the playlist name that you want to make for that iPod, and do the same for both iPods on there.
    For more details on how to manage this, see this Apple Support link below:

    I hope this helps!

  • Connect two ipods at same time?

    I have a fortunate problem/question. My son got a nano ipod and I got a 30MB ipod. We both would like to charge them and get running. Can you connect both at the same time? I have two USB ports and could physically do it. I know that you can use multiple units with a single computer, but there is nothing about charging them at the same time in the documentation.
    Thanks

    I've had 3 ipods connected at the same time. They all show up under Devices.

  • Two iPods on Same iTunes

  • Using two iPods on same computer

    Our daughter has loaded her iPod onto our family computer and created an account. I now have my own iPod for which i want my own library, which will include photo's. How can I use my iPod and sync to my library without syncing to my daughter's.
    I also need to download the library on my iPod onto my own library. I somehow had a library but it has been wiped clean due to a restore. Is there a way of reverse backing up from my iPod to my computer.

    See this Apple KnowledgeBase article; it should help:
    How to use multiple iPods with one computer
    Is there a way of reverse backing up from my iPod to my computer.
    Transferring tracks from an iPod back to iTunes has been covered here a number of times already, but again:
    First, you need to prevent automatic synchronzation with a blank copy of iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift and Ctrl keys in Windows. This should stop the iPod from auto synching with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
    Then if you're using iTunes 7, you can then copy music that you purchased from the iTunes Store back to iTunes directly (use the Transfer Purchases From iPod command under the iTunes File menu).
    If you're not using iTunes 7 or want to copy back other tracks, the easiest way will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
    It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:
    MacMuse: Computer crashed
    Hope this helps.
    Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Discussions page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums, in the User Tips Library and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.

  • Two ipods on same computer - same device name

    When installing my new nano, it took on the same device name as my wife's. How can I change the device name so that the computer recognizes it as a different ipod and will therefore only sync with the playlists I want on mine, as well as when she syncs?

    When only one iPod is connected, select it in the iTunes source list, click on its name, and type a new name. You may then need to follow the instructions in this article.
