Using iPod on another computer

This may seem like a very dumb question...I recently gave my 30 GB iPod to my brother for his birthday. Now the iPod had a lot of my songs and some videos on it, when I gave it to him.
He has his own iTunes account and his own computer. He is trying to get iTunes on his computer to sync and use the iPod, but is having no success at all. He has it all plugged in, and has iTunes downloaded and has an account and everything.
Since I was using the iPod under my account, would the iPod now have to be under his account, in order for him to use it? We are both pretty confused, and any help here would be really appreciated.

He says that when he plugs it in, it just goes to his iTunes Summary, which shows how much memory the iPod has, and etc. Which right now, is taken up by the music and videos I had on there. He's gotten the "Do Not Disconnect" message a few times when he has tried to work with it, but still hasn't had any success replacing my old music and videos with his own music.

  • Using ipod with another computer

    Hi I would appreciate any help anyone could offer please! I would like to use my ipod on another computer (ibook g4). How do I go about transfering my songs, videos etc on my new computer. I have purchased some songs but it wont allow me to download to my ipod help! It has copied my ipod onto the computer but wont allow me to access them? Any help very much appreciated thanks in advance!

    I thought my question was answered and it kind of was, however there were some things that were not explained.
    If I use a compatable computer and link into in tunes it ask me a series of questions. All I am trying to do is purchase something from iTunes and download it to my iPod Video from another computer.
    I want to make sure that everything in my iPod stays and that everything I have purchased stays not only in my computer but at the very least that I can make sure that I will be able to have them on my computer when I get home.
    So, is there a way to purchase something from iTunes from another computer and download it my iPod?
    thanx

  • My computer died. I do not want to loose one video on my iPod, how can I  use the iPod  on another computer? Please help!

    please advise how I can put my iPod on another computer, my old one died a slow death.  There is one short video on my iPod that can't  be replaced.

    - What is the source of the videos? If taken by the iPod you can transfer them to the new computer by:
    Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer
    - If they were iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - If they were synced to the iPod and not iTunes purchases then you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView.

  • Transferring from my new ipod to another computer

    Is it possible to transfer all of my music from my new ipod to another computer that I have? I copied all of my CD's on my home computer & now I am connected to my other computer which has my old music library on it.....is it posssible to have your library on two computers?

    If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

    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".

  • HELP, trying to use nano on another computer

    all my thanks

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Are you looking at the iPod's library of songs through iTunes (the songs are on the iPod, not iTunes)?
    If the iPod is automatically updating, you cannot play the songs from your iPod on another computer. You would have to manually update...
    Manually Updating iPod
    See this as well...
    Using iPod with multiple computers
    Or, are you trying to move the music from the iPod to your laptop? If so, try one of these options...
    YamiPod
    Using iPod with multiple computers
    If you choose to go the software route, more options are available (Search the internet via Google).
    If you are automatically updating the iPod now though, and the songs are not actually on the laptop, but just on your iPod (and you see the songs on the iPod through iTunes), then you will not be able to play them on your computer. You have to put them on your computer or manually update.

  • Can I sync iPod on another computer

    I have an iPod nano that I had synced to another computer that crashed. I would like to sync my iPod to another computer without losing all my songs that are existing on iPod. Is this possible?

    You can't do an iPod to computer transfer of song files using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can do an iPod to computer transfer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files are on your new computer, add them to that computer's iTunes library.  You can then sync your iPod nano to that computer's iTunes library.

    All synced media that is not already in the iTunes library on the second computer will be erased. This second computer will be your syncing computer

    sorry th title is so long.  Wondering if I can use cs6 on another computer besides my 2009 iMac.  Thanks.

    Transfer of software to another owner is usually handled by Adobe.
    So if you do not have a serial number its not yours to use.
