Using a iPod and a iPod shuffle on the same computer

I was given an iPod shuffle for Christmas and my son has a iPod. He has down loaded the iPod program on my laptop with his songs. If I down load my shuffle on to the same computer will it delete his program and songs or can I use his itunes for my shuffle? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi. I've just added a shuffle to my iTunes for my wife's use. I have an existing mini. I have attempted to follow the advice you gave in answer to the previous message. I now have two differing playlists but I am unable to follow the steps shown in Method 2 where you use 'Sync music' & then 'Select playlist'. I cannot find these 2 in any of the iTunes menus or by right clicking. I have also referred to my original iPod Mini user guide & am unable to follow the advice in there either, where it says select iPod mini in the Source list. There is nowhere in my iTunes menus where it says 'Source list'. I would be grateful for some help. thanks

  • Using both 1st and 2nd Generation Shuffle on the same computer

    After owning a 1st Gen Shuffle for a number of years, today I decided to upgrade to a 2nd Gen.
    What I would like to know is, can I use both shuffles on the same computer, through the same iTunes program, using the same music library?
    There's nothing wrong with the 1st Gen unit, but I still want to use it as a back-up/secondary unit to the 2nd Gen one.
    I have yet to connect the 2nd Gen unit to my computer. Before I do I would like to know whether or not I can use both the old and the new units. Also is there anything special I need to do to allow this to happen.
    thank you.

    Nothing special to do. Connect new iPod and let it sync. Make sure only one is connected at a time.

  • Don't know how to sync my iPod and my sisters iPhone to the same computer.

    We use separate iTunes accounts. I reformatted my computer and need to sync both. My iPod says it will delete all my apps and replace it with hers if I do. Anybody know how to do this?

  • When i listened my music on my ipod nano 4th, It's sound like a used LPwith the distortion. I check my earphone and it's not the problem. I reset my ipod and it's still having the same problem. Does anybobody having a solution ?

    From my limited knowledge the iPod Nano has no support for iCloud or wireless transfers- therefore the only means of downloading songs is by hooking it up to the computer by the white cable.

  • HT1329 i have a ipod nano 3rd generation and my iphone 3gs on the same computer if i move my ipod nano to my laptop and i move all my music to from my iphone to my ipod nano

    i have a ipod nano and a iphone 3gs on the same computer. Can i put my ipod nano on my laptop and put my iphone songs on my ipod nano?

    You can put the songs that on your iPhone onto your Nano as long as these songs are located in the iTunes library on the laptop.  If they are not you will not be able to sync them to the Nano and you will not be able to copy them directly from the iPhone to the Nano.

  • IPod Touch and iPhone - Syncing both on the same computer

    Is there any reason I would have a problem syncing both my ipod touch and a new iphone on the same computer? I want to have all of my music on both. My iphone arrives today and wanted to avoid any major issues.
    Thanks -

    Normally I would recommend this...
    Plug in the iPod, uncheck the box to show artwork on the iPod then sync the iPod (all artwork will be removed from the iPod).
    When it is done, reselect that check box and sync the iPod again (all artwork added to iPod).
    This often times clears up display issue with artwork on the iPod.
    However, I don't think you get the show artwork option for the iPhone, correct?
    Cheers,

  • How do I sync two ipods with two different IDs on the same computer?

    How do I sync two ipods with two different IDs on the same computer?

    Simply connect them.  One computer with one iTunes can manage multiple devices.  They're tracked by S/N but you might wish to assign them unique names so that you can track them yourself.
    The only minor issue is app updating and purchases while on the computer.  It's necessary to log out and back in to the "correct" ID.  Much easier to do these things from the iPods.

  • Can't i use xml schema and oledb data connection at the same time?

    Hello to all and thanks in advance.I use xml schema and oledb data connection at the same time and the problem is that when I try to export the xml, the outcome is not what i expect.Without the oledb connection everything is ok (just the schema) and the xml complies with the schema.
    Can't i have both schema and oledb and the exported xml be as i want it?

    You can use both at the same time, but not gor Internet access if that's what you're asking.
    Now there is a thing called Link Aggregation, which combines a number of interfaces for speed/redundancy, but it really only works locally, and then only with ALL special equipment in the route, and most likely OSX Server involved.
    Sorry.

  • Hight of ipod and click wheel surface not the same

    The highness of surface from my ipod itself and clickwheel is not exactly the same. clickwheel is a little bit higher which is irritating while using it.
    I checked some other ipods (5g's) and some have exactly the same level all over the cover which gives a better feeling.
    Is it a failure from production or just a question of allowed tolerances?
    Any experience with apple support?

    After a lot of searching and working on this, I found the problem - and it wasn't my previously theorized conspiracy to get us all to buy more from Apple.... It was quite simple actually.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304508 I followed all of these directions including re-installing the dlls and the usb drivers, but I think the key was that I have multiple USB devices plugged into my computer. I unplugged all but my wireless keyboard. Then I used a different USB port for my iPod than I had tried before. It updated..... Yeah. I don't have to buy one of the new over priced fancy models!!!!

  • I have two Ipods can they both work on the same computer?

    I had bought a ipod nano about a 6 mounths ago. Last week I bought the new ipod nano 2ed gen. I was wondering if I could plug both of them into the same computer (not both at the some time)but without screwing itunes up and loosing all my music? Also would i have to change the serial numbers of the ipods on the computer?
    PLEASE HELP!!! THANK YOU!!

    See...I have a ipod nano which on being connected to itunes7, I'm able to make my own playlist&delete or download songs at my own will. But when I connect my ipod mini to my i tunes(on the same computer) ...it(only) just updates my mini but after that if i wanna make changes to the playlist on my mini or delete anything...I can't. It only works with my nano but not with my mini.

  • I would like to access both my iTunes and my husbands iTunes on the same computer.  However, we still want our separate logins for our devices (iPad, 2 iPhones) for purchases.  Is this possible?

    Is there a way to have one computer hold both my iTunes account and my husbands iTunes account at the same time.  We do not want to log in and out, but want to be able to access both purchases on the same computer (songs, movies, etc).  However, we want to keep our accounts seperate for purchases on our devices.  Is this possible?

  • HT1349 Can i have two iTunes (mine and my husband's) on the same computer?

    My wife has an iTunes account for her iPod shuffle and I can't seem to set up my own for my iPod nano?
    When I try and sign in to my account, it freezes up?

    There is no device limit for the number of iDevices that can be synced with the same iTunes library on the same computer. Each device can have its own sync preferences with iTunes on the same computer along with iTunes creating and updating a separate backup for each device.
    Do you share the same iTunes library and iTunes account? If so, then there is no reason to have separate iTunes libraries. Each device can have its own sync preferences with iTunes. iTunes content can be added to an iTunes library from an iPhone, but iTunes content cannot be deleted from an iTunes library by syncing an iPhone with iTunes.

  • Can you run Tiger and OS 8.6 on the same computer? RE: Repair Permissions

    Hello,
    I don't fully understand how "Repair Permissions" work and when it is needed and therefore I would like to post this question for some clarification. Using "Repair Permissions" for troubleshooting is a controversial issue. I read this interesting opinion about Repairing Permissions and now I am concerned that it may not be safe for me to install my old OS 8.6 on my OSX installed computer due to a "permission" conflict between OS 8 and OS X.
    Could someone confirm this with me please? Could this cause some file permission problems?
    I would use OS 8.6 to run my older Adobe Illustrator 8 application and photoshop 6. And then I will boot onto Tiger for everything else. I would switch a few times per day back and forth.
    Basically, is it safe to run Tiger on the same computer that has OS 8.6 installed on it? (I am not concerned about making 8.6 run in the Classic environment because I know that doesn't work - I am refering to having separate bootable installs)
    [1] http://www.unsanity.org/archives/000410.php
    PS I am aware of how to change my startup OS on this particular computer (b&w G3). I would have to have the two OSs on the same volume and launch X by pressing x -key during startup due to the fact that OS 8.6 doesn't have the Startup Disk feature introduced in OS 9. That was an earlier separate discussion that has since been solved.
    PS
    I could choose to instead use my OS 9.2 but I have reserved that OS for another computer unfortunately. However depending on the outcome of this post, I might have to reconsider.

    This is a really difficult issue to resolve! Apple doesn't have much documentation that covers running OS 8 & OS X on the same drive. There are, however, a few things that it might helpful to know:
    1. Repairing permissions with Disk Utility in OS X won't touch user-created files. It only repairs things that have a receipt file, which are created by installers. The unsanity reference explains this; you might want to review that part of the article again.
    2. Disk Utility has a separate repair OS 9 permissions function (accessed in the menus), but AFAIK, this only repairs permissions on the OS 9 system folder "blessed" by the Classic system pref as the one to use for Classic. I doubt this would be useful for the OS 8.6 system.
    3. Of greater concern than mis-set permissions is file system damage. Under no circumstances should you use any disk repair utility on a Tiger drive except those that "know" about Tiger's file structure. This rules out using Disk First Aid from either OS 8 or OS 9, or any OS 8 or 9 third party utilities. (See this Apple document for the details.) I don't know if this also applies to OS 8's 'rebuild desktop' function, but I would avoid it to be on the safe side.
    4. If you do decide to reformat or partition your drive for dual booting (as you mentioned in your other thread), do so only with Tiger's Disk Utility & remember to check the 'install OS 9 drivers' option or you won't be able to boot into OS 8 or 9, even if you have a viable system folder for either on the drive. See this Apple document for more info.
    5. In light of the above, it is well worth getting OS 9 to use with Tiger on your B&W, as long as any older apps you need to run are compatible with it. (There should be no need to use OS 8/9 with text files anyway, since OS X can handle all the old text formats.) In fact, unless you need to use some peripheral that has no OS X driver, you probably will do just fine by using Classic with the old apps, eliminating the need to reboot completely.
    6. If you need to buy OS 9, one inexpensive source is OWC's Mac OS 9.1 - OEM CD. At $35, it is a cheap way to avoid the headaches of OS 8 with Tiger! Note that you can upgrade from this 9.1 version to 9.2.2 for free with Apple's updates available from the Mac OS 9: Available Updates web page.

  • I backed up my IPhone 4s to my computer then I got the iPhone 6 and backed that up on the same computer now my iPhone 6 is like an iPhone 4s how do I get it back to an iPhone 6?

    I Have recently gotten an iPhone 6. I had an iPhone 4s before. I used iTunes to back up my iPhone 4s and worked fine. Now that I have an iPhone 6 I backed it up to the same computer, same iTunes, it then restored my old phone into my new phone. How do I get the original iPhone 6 back without taking all the original data I have on it now off?

    You did import these important photos over to an alternative storage medium, just like you would with any digital camera, right?

  • Can 7.1 and 8 be installed on the same computer without conflict?

    I wrote a program in Labview 8.0 and want to run it on a computer that already has 7.1 (this computer has a lot of programs that we don't want to have to upgrade).  Saving as a previous edition created 5 pages worth of compatability errors.  Is it possible to simply install 8.0 in addition to 7.1 on the same computer without either program interfering with the other?  We use a DAQ card and GPIB.

    As Blair said, yes you can have multiple versions installed.
    You simply have to remember 2 important things:
    1.  Keep backups of the appropriate versions of vi's.
    2.  Remember to right-click on the vi and select Open With > select appropriate LV version.
    Instead of 2 (above), you can always start LV first and open the vi's from within it.
