Two Kinds Of iTunes for One iPod

If I use my iTunes on my home computer, but just got a new laptop and downloaded iTunes on it. Could I just plug in my iPod and it will download all my songs into that library, or would it delete my songs? Because I would like to use a iTunes on my new laptop, but I don't want my songs to be deleted off my iPod.

Do you want to use your ipod with both PCs, or switch the ipod to always sync with the new laptop from now on?
Right now, if you connect your ipod to the laptop itunes and the laptop is already authorized in the iTunes store, you will have 2 choices:
*Transfer Purchases*
or *Erase and Sync*
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
An ipod can only auto-sync to one ITL file (the itunes database file).
If you want to use it with 2 PCs you can set it to manual mode, but that is a sad way to use an iPod, without auto-sync.
You could also network the 2 PCs together and transfer all of ituens to the laptop, including that ITL file.

    It has the error range of 3000's which states
    Errors 3000-3999 (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an old version of iTunes is installed, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see error 1004 above), or because of your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues. Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again. Error 3194 most likely indicates you do not have the latest version of iTunes installed Update to the latest version of iTunes. 

  • Can I have two accounts for one IPod touch?

    I have two homes, two computers (one in each home), and one IPod touch. I already have an account set up on one computer in the one home. I have a second home that I'm at about one week per month. I just want to be able to buy itunes at the second home and download them also to my one IPod. In other words I want to be able to get ITunes from two computers to the just one IPod. Is that possible? My son doesn't think I so.

    If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. In this mode you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library. You can also authorise each computer to use songs purchased from the same iTunes Store account:

    Managing content manually on iPod

  • Two copies of iTunes on one computer?

    A pretty stupid problem, but I can't figure it out. It appears that there are two copies of iTunes on one of our computers--or at least, iTunes somehow displaying two different profiles. If I have "start iTunes automatically" checked, when I connect the iPod, iTunes opens, and it shows the location of the Library file as on the workstation's local HD. Conversely, if I use the shortcut icon on the desktop to open iTunes, it points to a Library location on a network shared drive (which is where I want it to be).
    I cannot for the life of me figure out where the two copies, if they exist, of the iTunes.exe file are located. The Properties for the shortcut iTunes icon is grayed out in the "find Target" box. I can find one copy of iTunes in the local c:\Programs\iTunes folder. Control Panel Add/Remove Programs list shows only one iTunes program. Is there any way to figure this out?

  • If I purchased music on itunes for my ipod do I have to purchase them again for my iphone?

    I have purchased itunes for my ipod and I wanted to download them on my iphone. I was able to download them but it charged me again for the same ones. Can download them on iphone without being charged agiab?

    Hi,
    Firstly make sure you have iOS 5.0 or above on your iPhone.
    Then make sure the iPhone is using that same account that you have purchased those song with.
    To do this go to Settings > Store and check the email address at the bottom of the screen.
    If you have all these ok, then just open the iTunes app and select the "purchased" category at the bottom of the screen and you will be given the fully list of all your purchased music ready for you to redownload without being charged.
    (when a song is selected you are given an option to "download the full album" if you have purchased it already)
    Hope this helps.

  • Emergent!! Two alternative material number for one same real material???

    Hi Experts
    In our company,for some specail requirement,we want to have two material numbers for one same real
    material,that means this two materials are substitute for each other. In every transaction, we can
    use this both two material numbers.
    For example,material number "A123 " and "B456" , these two material numbers are for one real
    material, In every transaction we can use "A123 " or "B456".For exmaple ,we can create and release
    a production order to produce"A123",and when doing goods receive for this produciton order with
    MB31,we could use"B456" for the same production order. And also when we view the stock for "A123" in SAP,we could get the the sum stock of "A123" and "B456".
    Is it possible in SAP? How to achieve it that one real material have two different material number??
    And how to manage these two different material number??
    Thanks for any reply!!

    Fei,
    The requirement can't be absolutely mapped in SAP.
    The reason is the logic behind this is wrong.
    May we know why do you want to maintain two separate codes for one real material?
    We have option of batch management as well as split valuation to take care of your requirement.
    Evaluate these things.
    Hope this helps you.

  • Two idocs are created for one output message type

    hi all,
    we are communicating our sap idocs to external system using ALE.It is working smoothly.
    Our problem raises here,
    .idocs are creating at the time of output type attachment for purchase orders.But rarely,two idocs are creating for one message type.It means two idocs are created for same Purchase order.It makes complications for the external system.
    anyone can help me pls?
    thnks in advance..........

    thanks jurgen for ur reply,
    jurgen, the second idoc is not an "ORDCHG",It is the replica of first idoc.This one has also "ORDERS" message type.The only difference between these idocs are the time.It means the difference between the time field segments of these idocs have only three(3)seconds difference.We think that its from the system error.If it is not from the system error pls give me the explanation.
    thanks in advance.......

    Hi Becki ..
    You need to "authorize" the Mac.
    Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
    Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.

  • I have bought music on itunes for my ipod can i copy them to my ipod nano

    How can you copy music bought on itunes for my ipod onto a new ipod nano that i have bought

    Open iTunes and plug in your iPod. On the left sidebar there should be your iPod name (If you can't find the sidebar, go to iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar), go to your iTunes playlist and drag the songs you want to your iPod. For all of the songs, go to your iPod music library, even if you don't have songs, and on the bottom there should be a blue-ish bar. There might be a box saying "Autofill from iTunes library" click that ONLY if you want ALL songs from your iTunes to your iPod.

  • Open two GUI( JFrame) simultaneously for one application

    Can we open two GUI( JFrame) simultaneously for one application at tha same time.if yes why ?and if no why?

    OK, its really simple, basically, you need a desktop frame to stor all the other frames and then you just pop them in, from a new class each time.
    Here's the code from the demo I learnt it from:
    (The demo itself)

    //of the screen.
    int inset = 50;
    Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
    setBounds(inset, inset,
    screenSize.width - inset*2,
    screenSize.height - inset*2);
    //Set up the GUI.
    desktop = new JDesktopPane(); //a specialized layered pane
    createFrame(); //create first "window"
    setContentPane(desktop);
    setJMenuBar(createMenuBar());
    //Make dragging a little faster but perhaps uglier.
    desktop.setDragMode(JDesktopPane.OUTLINE_DRAG_MODE);
    protected JMenuBar createMenuBar() {
    JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();
    //Set up the lone menu.

  • Using iTunes For Multiple iPod's

    Hey,
    Anyone know how to use iTunes for two iPod's without the songs being erased and all that ...kind of like having two seperate library folders.
    Thanks In Advance,

    Well there are two way to go about this.
    Number 1. Having seperate windows accounts, with iTunes on both, will give you seperate libraries.
    Number 2. Set both iPods to update Automatically but to only the playlists you select. This will keep your playlists on it and whatever you don't want on there off. Same goes for the other iPod.
    I myself use the number 2 option for my iPod Video and my Moms Nano. The only thind you got to remember, if you plan on updating or if you added new music and want it on your iPod, is to select the new playlist you made. This options works great
