Using a single iPod on two separate PC's

I have a single iPod and have installed iTunes on two PC'c. They don't have identical music libraries and when I try to transfer music from the newer itunes installation on the 2nd PC, iTunes tells me that this iPod isn't authorized and doesn't allow me to do anything. What am I missing here?

You have to switch the iPod from auto mode to manual manage in order to use it on two or more iTunes libraries. When the iPod is mounted and you can go into the summary page for it in iTunes, select the check box to manually manage your iPod then "apply" that setting the iPod and now you can play songs out of your iPod via the iTunes interface.

  • Problems using a Single Ipod on two computers

    I have my home computer with a huge library and my office computer with minimal songs.
    I recently brought my ipod to work and hooked it up to the work computer. It installed and synced ok, I can see my ipod and all the songs... but everything is greyed out.
    I can't select anything on the ipod and I can't play it through itunes. I also tried adding songs to the ipod by dragging from my library to my ipod, but it doesn't work. Nothing happens at all... what am I doing wrong?

  • HT1711 Can a single computer have two separate iTunes accounts?

    Yes
    An account is just a user name and password used to purchases content.

    Is it possible to use a single iPhone with two contact numbers via dual sim or an app?
    This would be a useful feature for personal and company numbers but using one mobile, rather than carrying two devices or diverting calls.

    Then go ahead and try it.  You'll find it's probably a load of crap.
    You want 2 numbers, then use Google Voice or TalkaTone
    Those are US based only Apps or numbers so no good. I won't be wasting money by just trying something either, especially because using a dual sim would mean purchasing another sim card on either pay as you go or monthly contact.

    Edit the SMTP server list. Add a new one for the business account. Put the correct password and information for it. Give it a description so you will know which server is which. Mke sure the correct server is highlighted in the account selected and check the box to use only that server for that account. Do that for the other account also.

    From the given link, I understand that active/standby redundancy configuration is not possible for IDSM's on two different chassis. Only active/active is possible.
    Secondly, please let me know whether the below configuration is for two IDSM's within same chassis or across two separate chassis.

  • Can I use one Adobe ID for two separate CC Teams?

    I recently got a new job, and am still doing freelance work for my past employer, who will continue to keep me as a seat in their CC membership (CC for Teams). 
    At my new job, they are in the process of switching over to CC.  Will I have to obtain another adobe ID to be a member of their team membership, or can I use the same one that I use for my previous job?
    Also, will I then have two separate Cloud folders?  How will this affect desktop sync?  Will I have to log in and out using the CC app?
    Any and all insight into this area would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Yes.

  • Using 5th generation IPOD on two computers

    I just bought a new 30GB 5th generation Ipod.
    I travel for the government - one laptop I use at home, the other I use when traveling overseas. I use the same IPOD on both computers - or so I thought.
    Now I discover that when I try to use the same IPOD with my other computer, all the data is wiped out since I can only use my IPOD with one and one only computer.
    Is there any way I can get this adjusted? In my case it would be very difficult since my travel laptop only has a small hard drive and I can't keep all my music, etc there..but I can't take my big ipod with me.

    Have a look here:

  • Can I sync a single calendar to two separate mobile me accounts

    My wife and I have separate dot mac accounts and separate mobil me accounts. We each keep separate work and personal contacts and calendars on our computers and they sync to our separate I phones. We would like to have a single family calendar that will sync automatically through mobil me for entries made by either of us to the others phone, downlinking to our separate computers.
    Is this possible?

    Please read this entire post before doing anything, so that you can understand what you need to do.
    My wife and I have the same scenario and I have a work around. Here is what we have:
    She has an iPhone 3g and a Mac Book. I have an IPhone 3Gs and a Mac Book Pro. I have my Mobile Me account, and she has her own Mobile Me account.
    Before you do anything, go to each of your computers and backup both your address books and calenders.
    Here is how I have ours sync:
    1) The 2 laptops are both setup under Mobile Me in the System Preferences under my Mobile Me account. In here, I have both laptops setup to sync the address book(s) and the calender(s) but nothing else.
    2) On your computer, import your wifes backed up address book and calenders into your iCal and Address Book on your computer. Make sure that your wifes calender had a different name than yours in the iCal program. I mean make sure that your calender and hers was not both labeled something like "Home". My wifes is labeled "Her Personal" and my calender is labeled "His Personal". You can do the same thing for the Hers and your address books, by putting them in different categories before you back them up and import them.
    3) After these are setup on your computer, then (a) go to System Preferences, and then (b) go to Mobile Me. In Mobile Me (c) click on the "Sync" tab. (d) Click on Advanced at the lower right hand corner of the window. Then (e) click on the Resync Data button. In the next window (f) click on the RIGHT arrow and the click replace. This will send all of the iCal calender(s) and the Address Book(s) to your Mobile Me cloud.
    4) On your wifes computer repeat Step 3. Except, in step (f) click on the LEFT arrow. This will send all of the iCal calender(s) and the Address Book(s) from you Mobile Me cloud to your wifes computer. You are now half way done.
    5) On your iPhone go to Settings. Then go to Mail, Contacts, Calenders and click on your Mobile Me account. Here you will need to turn on Mail Contacts and Calenders.
    It will be setup a little different on your wifes iPhone however.
    6) On your wifes iPhone go to Settings. Then go to Mail, Contacts, Calenders and click on her Mobile Me account. Here you need to make sure that only Mail is on. Make sure that Calenders and Contacts is turned off.
    7) Go back to Mail, Contacts, Calenders on your wifes iPhone. Click on Add Account. Here you will need to add YOUR Mobile Me account information.
    8) After you have entered you Mobile Me account information on her phone, go back into Settings and then to Mail, Contacts, Calenders and click on you Mobile Me account again. Under your account on her phone, turn off Mail, but turn on Contacts and Calenders.
    9) Open both the Calenders apps on the 2 iPhones and allow them to update.
    10) Open both the Contacts apps on the 2 iPhones and allow them to update.
    You should now be able to keep your contacts and address books in sync on both computers and iPhones, but still be able to keep you individual e-mail accounts in sync on the seperate computers and iPhones. Please let me know if you have any questions.

  • Using the 1 iPod on two computers - problem..!!!

    hi all. first off i aspologise if this question has been asked before. heres my problem. On my PC at work i installed my iPod and iTunes and started to load up the iPod over a few weeks. Tonight, i installed a new PC at home. I installed the latest version of iTunes onto this PC at home and downloaded songs. I connected the iPod (which has my work-downloaded music on it)and it updated it with the songs i had downloaded at home onto it. Now, the only songs that are on the ipod are these home downloaded ones....all the songs i downloaded at work neither show on my home version of itunes nor the ipod. Have i just commited ipod suicide???!! sorry if this seems a really dumb question, but im just wondering what to do next. Thanks for helping. Ronan

    Hello Ronan,
    If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer (as in your case where have one at home and one you use at work) you can change the update preference to "manually manage songs and playlists". By doing this, you can listen to and update your iPod at work where you have iTunes with a different library of tracks. Change the update option on your home computer, you'll have to add the ones from work over again manually but all is not lost.
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing Your Songs Manually
    One other thing to remember about manually updating is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod
    For info: iPod 101
    The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
    1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
    2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
    3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

  • Two separate enterprise WiFi networks in the same building

    I work in a building that currently has Cisco controller based access points. The access points aren't managed by us and are actually part of another campus. We are given access to them but they don't work quite like we want them to. So we are wanting to bring in our own Cisco WLC 2504 with 3702 APs. But when we brought this up with the main campus they said we can't have two separate enterprise wireless networks in the same building. That their APs will mark our APs as rogues and try to shut them down. There was also mention that they can't share the same channel and that the radios will negotiate with each other to determine how much power they need for coverage. But from what I've read none of that is true. So maybe I misunderstanding something and hoping someone here with more experience can shed some light on this. The only reason we would want to keep their wireless in the building is so when their staff come to our office they can use it. 
    So can two separate WLC/AP systems on different subnets and broadcasting different SSIDs exist in the same building with out causing any issues?

    By default, the WLC code does not try to contain rogue AP's.  Just lots of alarm's and unclassified rogue's.
    In this case you hosts may have actually enabled containment but would have also received a screen full of warning about the public nature of the unlicensed wifi band.
    Here the Superior Court system is side by side with the County system even to the extent that the AP's are next to each other.  Gets fun.  Since each SSID constitutes a rogue, each unit represents a LOT of rogues to report.
    Good Luck

  • Help using swap images to swap 2 separate images

    I am trying to use swap images to swap two separate images on
    the same page but I can't get it to work. Here is the code for one
    image, rotator. I also have a second image,rotatorB that I want to
    swap different images with. I think I need two separate codes but
    do not know how to do it.
    Thank You

    Sorry, I don't know enough about how fireworks functions - but overall, I think it's always best to create the slices in a program like fireworks, (or image ready, etc), and then build the actual page in Dreamweaver (or other web software). It's kind of like how Photoshop used to let you create the slices, then export the entire photoshop file as an html page - it would create a very basic page with multiple nested tables that were nothing but trouble...
    For what it's worth - Dreamweaver makes it fairly easy to do - once you're familiar it should only take a few minutes to accomplish (once you have all of the pieces saved to the images folder).
    Fireworks isn't a web-creation software - it's function is to optimize images for the web, and slice up graphics (from what I know about it, anyway...)
    **Also, on a side note - there are many disadvantages to creating buttons with graphics - number one reason is down the road when a client wants to add or modify the buttons, they will need the original photoshop file - and the fonts loaded in order to accomplish... then need to save out both the on and off state for each. I've been there, and they find it very annoying (known to lose customers because of it). Secondly, search engines and Handicap accessible software can't read graphics - even if you apply "alt tags", it's not as good as having a text link. If possible, it's best to use text for the links (and creating the rollover effects with stylesheets - there are tons of examples: http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=css+rollover&form=MS8TDF&pc=MS8TDF&src=IE-SearchBox

  • Need computer to recognize two separate iPods using 2 libraries on single login

    I have a family who has two separate iPod 5's, and Ive created two separate libraries for them on a Windows 7 machine under the same login.
    I know how to open iTunes holding the "Shift" key and double clicking the icon, but what I want (and what Apple SHOULD have coded into iTunes IMO) is for the computer to recognize which iPod is associated with a specific library, and open the correct one in iTunes when the iPod is plugged in.
    Currently, it is opening the last library that was opened.  Sounds a little silly, but holding shift, and selecting the library every time is not going to fly for this family.  They are not that computer savvy.  This seems like something that should automatically be done...if not I consider it a bug in iTunes. 
    They are using the latest iTunes/iPod firmware.
    Any help?
    Thanks,

    I know what you need to do!
    Buy yourself a turntable and some records - you know, that vinyl stuff (that I grew up with):
    When playing an album (a twelve inch LP record), there was a ceremony to go through: slipping the record carefully out of its sleeve, handling it by its edge and centre label but not the playing surface, skillfully flipping it over and round to the read the centre label, making sure you played the correct side. Then getting up every twenty minutes to flip the record over to side two, or put on a different album altogether.
    And if you were a singles fan... sitting next to the record player, preparing the next 7" (seven inch) that you were going to put on; removing from the turntable, the record that had just finished, and putting the next one on in its place as quickly as possible.
    A ritual in fact.
    As great as vinyl was, you would then appreciate iTunes and all it has to offer.

  • Keeping two separate Ipod lists in one ITunes program on one computer

    Each of us has a separate Ipod, but share a computer. We like mostly the same tunes -- so have one ITunes library on the computer, but have some different tastes, so she has some tunes on her Ipod I don't like, and I have some on mine she doesn't like (so both of us use most but not all tunes in the library). We both want to keep separate track of our two Ipod lists in our computer in case (as has happened) an Ipod glitches and has to be reloaded. I can't get ITunes on the computer to accept the list of songs on my Ipod as a separate, permanent file. How can I accomplish this?
