Using iPOD video and Nano on one PC

Need help. I just got a 60 gb iPOD video and have been using iTunes on my PC for my Nano. If I download videos from the iTunes Music Store for my iPOD Video, will it cause a problem when I later plug in my Nano to update? I.E., is there a way for me to use my same iTunes library for both the iPOD Video and iPOD Nano without the Nano crashing because of the video content? Sorry, I'm new to this. I appreciate anyone's help. Thanks.

If you are adding a second iPod for your own use, just connect the new iPod to your computer and follow the on screen instructions. It will update from your existing library and in the case of the Nano you will not have a problem with videos as it is not designed to use them. Depending on the size of your library and the type of iPod you choose you can have it update the whole library, selected playlists or you can manage it manually. With the first option it will update everything. With the second option only the tracks in the selected playlists (rather than the entire music library) are downloaded to iPod when you connect. With the manual update option, you manage what goes into your iPod by dragging and dropping selected songs or playlists into iPod:
Loading songs onto iPod automatically
Managing content manually on iPod

  • 2 Ipods (video and nano) on one computer.  HOW?

    I have a video ipod and a nano. I am trying to get them to share the same library, but am not having any luck. Can anyone let me know how to do this. The video ipod was originally set up on a different library (windows). I de-authorized it, but it won't sync. Will I lose all existing purchased music/videos in the process?

    Each of you should create a separate playlist, with only the music you want.
    Then open iTunes prefs -> iPod and set it to Automatically update only selected playlists.

    Hi Snaske,
    Yes, it's possible to manage multiple iPods through one computer.

  • There is no tab that says, manually manage video and music, only one to manage video.

    I have an Iphone 5. I want to manually manage my music.

  • Need driver for iPod video and Windows Vista

    I had an iPod video and it synched no problem to my computer. There was a hardware issue inside the iPod so i sent it back and got a new one. Now when I connect it to my computer, it brings up the looking for a driver window and says it can't find it. Its only been a week since it worked fine.. I don't know if there is an issue with the new iTunes or what but has anyone had any experience with this issue or can simply tell me where to directly download or find the driver?

    I too have had a problem with needing a driver for ipod. My ipod was working fine, then my computer stopped recognizing the ipod. It says it needs a driver for the ipod and I can't find one anywhere...need help..please

  • I have an ipod video and I want to get a shuffle too on same pc....

    I have an ipod video, and i want to get an ipod shuffle, but do not know if that will cause some type of confusion with itunes. I tried hooking up my girlfriend's ipod to my laptop and I couldn't drag any songs to her ipod. Will I have this same issue with the shuffle?

    - Do you have to right boxes checked in the Tones pane of iTunes for the iPod to get them synced to the iPod:
    - Were the tones purchased with the same account as all the other media on the iPod?

  • I bought a used iPod touch and when I try to set up my iCloud account, it says that the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this device. Is there a way around this?

    I bought a used iPod touch and when I try to set up my iCloud account, it says that the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this device. Is there a way around this? I thought I could maybe set up the account on my PC and go from there, but it won't let me do that. It is forcing me to set up on the iPod. Am I doomed to have no iCloud account because I opted for a used device?

  • Cannot use double tap and move with one finger to select text in Mountain Lion

    I've been using OS X in my Macbook Pro since Snow Leopard, and if I choose "tap with one finger to click", I can use double tap and move with one finger to select text if the cursor is between text.
    It works in Snow Leopard,and Lion However, in Mountain Lion, this doesn't work!! I have to click in the bottom right corner of my trackpad  in order to select the text.
    Can anyone get this fixed ?
    Thanks.

    Caolei,
    I don't know if you'll ever see this, but thank you! I hope this helps somebody else down the line, too.
    re. "I can use double tap and move with one finger to select text if the cursor is between text."
    I've been trying to figure out how to select text with tapping and without clicking.
    This did the trick.
    It's quite finicky to not select a space in between words.
    Zooming in does seem to help (two finger double tapping in a body of text may trigger a SmartZoom and zoom the current frame of text to fill the screen, if anybody doesn't know this.)
    ((There's a smartMagnifyWithEvent Cocoa NSEvent that's not universally supported across all applications for noob OS X developers like me.))
    I haven't been able to find the part about double tapping between text to begin a selection (which seems to work best when double tapping directly next to a letter) anywhere in the help system on or online. I probably just missed it, though.
    Clicking with the built-in trackpad on my MacBook Pro w/ Retina or Magic Mouse just takes too much pressure for an old-time touch typist like me.
    As an aside, I've been trying BetterTouchTool and MagicPrefs to enable one finger tap on the Magic Mouse. BetterTouchTool seems to trigger text selection unwantedly and randomly, though.
    The whole mystique of Mac / Apple being intuitive and user-friendly seems to be one of the greatest marketing coups / unbelievable con jobs of the last century.
    I'm actually somewhat qualified to express an opinion as a software engineer with a degree in Computer Science and programming and user interface design experience in Windows, UNIX, web, Android and other systems, and now OS X and iOS. I could go on and on and on but I won't other to say that I still find Macs buggy and hard to use. I'm now finding that my new iPhone 5 is just as big of a pain (i.e. big thumbs missing landscape keyboard in Contacts.) Of course, I like flexibility and options and custom workflows and more than one way to do things and simply being able to do things at all, so I'm also actually somewhat biased. Sorry for the rant...
    Cheers,
    Hal

  • Whats the difference between the 4th gen iPod touch and the new one ?

    whats the difference between the 4th gen iPod touch and the new one apart from it being white?

    Yeah it sadly appears to be only color, I guess Apple and thier infinate wisdom decided iPod touches dont need to be as fast as the new iPhone. If it had a5 it could do Siri:(

    I purchased a used iPod Classic and can't get it to sync to iTunes.  If I click on Devices it asks if I want to transfer Purchases which I select Cancel - the SYNC option is grayed out.
    Please suggest fixes.

    Hello mkplumlee,
    I would recommend restoring the iPod to factory settings.
