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

    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.

  • Using iTunes on multiple ipods and PCs

    I currently have an iPod mini (purchased 2005) which I use in conjunction with iTunes on my PC. My mini is now on its last legs, and so my partner and I are going to get some replacements: two iPod shuffles (one each) and a classic to put our combined music collections on.
    There are a couple of things that I could use help with.
    1.) How do I connect the three new iPods that we're going to buy to my existing iTunes library?
    2.) Is it possible to create a combined iTunes library that is shared between my PC and my partner's PC, so that we can each share each other's music? (My partner is not currently on iTunes and would have to sign up first).
    3.) Is it possible to use our shared iPod classic both on my PC and on my partner's? (My PC runs on windows xp and my partner's on windows 2000).
    Thanks for your help!

    If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer or with more than one library you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different. You can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library (iPod shuffles can only be used with one library by the way):

    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • DRM for iPod/iTunes for multiple iPods, shared computers

    In my family there are four people who use iTunes/iPod. Two are adults with Apple IDs, two are children who do not (and will not) have credit cards. We have two shared Windows XP computers and two shared Mac OS 9 machines. We just got our third iPod. Thus far, the first two iPods have been connected to just one machine (a WinXP; iTunes has been used from just one Windows account, I think) and the third iPod has not yet been connected to any computer. I need a sufficiently general explanation of the DRM scheme and relevant configuration options to understand what I can/should do in this situation. Thanks!

    Hi, Mike.
    I need a sufficiently general explanation of the DRM scheme and relevant configuration options to understand what I can/should do in this situation.
    The scheme is that songs purchased on any given iTS Account can be authorized for play on a maximum of five separate computers. An iPod can contain items from a maximum of five different iTS accounts at a given time.
    Other than that, you might be interested in looking at these articles in the Apple Knowledge Base:

  • Can I use itunes for my ipod and wmp11 for my zen?

    Hi,
    I would like to use the same PC with 15g (mostly mp3's)of music in my music folders for two devices WMP11(creative zen vision m) and itunes (video ipod).
    I don't want the files to copy themselves into the itunes folder.
    I have experimented adding folders to the itunes interface and while it doesn't copy music to itunes folder, it does pull in some stray wma's and then says "sorry wrong format". What if I want to clear a file? will it delete it from my hard drive or just delete it from the itunes library?
    There has to be an easier way to use two types of players with one large selection of music.
    I have searched this forum for hours and can't find the answer. Thank you!

    iCloud is for document and data syncing and for backing up your iOS devices. I assume you mean iTunes match and iTunes in the cloud.
    I couldn't really answer that question for you, I don't know how many movies etc you wish to carry arround with you, or whether you are in a location that allows downloading of TV shows or movies.
    Myself I have always bought the 64 GB version of the iPad each time it's been released to give me access to my media content. This time because of iTunes match and iTunes in the cloud, I've ordered the 32 GB, I don't know whether doing the same would suit you, but yes for me I'm happy ordering a smaller storage version.

    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. 

  • 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.
