Using multiple new iPods to old iTunes

Hello,
I've recently been relieved of my trusty old iPod
I'm am therefore planning on buying a new one (or two) and would like to ask:
1. If I buy an iPod Shuffle, will it work with my existing iTunes which has about 15GB of music in it?
2. What will happen when a buy a new "proper" iPod, and I already have a Shuffle connecting to my iTunes?
Ideally I would like to wait to see what comes from the MacExpo later this month, but I want to get the shuffle in the meantime to tide me over.
Many thanks

You can add new iPods to your computer unless those iPods are newer than the version of iTunes you have installed, in which case some or all of the functionality of the iPod may not be supported. The content of the existing iTunes library doesn't matter, as this content will be transferred to the new iPod the same way it would be if that iPod was the only one associated with that computer.

  • New iPod to old iTunes library

    I have succumbed to the tempation of a new iPod with video. I have an old 3G iPod and a decent music library built up, including some ITMS stuff, in iTunes.
    I presume it is straightforward to sync this with my new iPod? Will iTunes recognise the new iPod as a foreign user?
    Any advice?

    It won't be a "foreign user" if you're connecting it to the same Mac user account. iTunes will try to give the iPod the same default name (like "Martin Toal's iPod.") You will probably want to assign the new iPod a different name, to avoid any possible conflicts.

  • New ipod with old itunes, do I have to unistall old ipod?

    I recently purchased a new iOS 8.1 ipod touch to replace my 6.6.  When installing it I told iTunes to place certain old playlists on my new ipod.  Now I'm getting new syncing errors in which it loses my place in audiobooks. Never had this happen before.
    As a computer challenged old man, is there something I need to do to make this my new default player. I wonder if its resetting my files to what my old ipod had rather than resyncing it with the current position on my new ipod.

    They are in the Audio book library and not in your Music library, right?
    In iTunes on your computer in the Get Inof for the Audio Books is remember playback position checked?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all audiobooks and resync
    To delete all AudioBooks go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music and delete them
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes      
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • New ipod with old itunes

    i recently got a new ipod and when i try to put the songs on it from my library, it will only put 130 of the 1000+ songs in my library. how can i put all of the songs on my ipod?

    For Windows system, the typical location would be...
    My Documents -> My Music -> iTunes -> iTunes Music
    then navigate to the artist folder then to the album folder.
    You can always check where iTunes thinks the file is located by selecting the song in iTunes, do a Get Info on the track, then in the first tab/window where it shows the summary info on the track, at the bottom is a line "Where" and that will show the location that iTunes expects the file to be.

  • Using a new ipod with old library

    I recently switched from a 2nd generation to a video...When i tried to importmy library, some of the songs did not transfer and said I was not authorized to listen. I also recently purchased a video from itunes that will not add to my ipod when I drag it, also saying that i am not authorized. A majority of the songs transfered, but what is with the others not working?

    It won't even play a few seconds of it. It says the file cannot befound when i try to play it through itunes. When it asks if I want to find it, nothing is found...

    In order to run iTunes 10 you need OSX 10.5 or greater.  You will have to upgrade your operating system, if that is possible.   What you can do to upgrade will depend upon your computer and software you run.  To get more information about your computer, go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number.

  • Loading new Ipod shuffle onto Itunes account

    Okay, I have an Itunes account already and it is connected to my old ipod mini. I recently got an Ipod shuffle and when I try to load songs onto it the ipod shuffle won't recognize them because they are protected on my itunes account. I tried to change my account so it recognized my new ipod shuffle and itunes said I was not authorized to do that. Any suggestions?

    You can load any number of iPod devices with one iTunes library and account. So that's not the problem.
    Are you sure your shuffle is charged? Did you try plugging it into a different USB jack? When you look in "My Computer" is your shuffle recognized? Does iTunes see your shuffle and list it as a device when it's plugged in?
    Does your shuffle need a software update? OR, can you restore your shuffle? Go to the settings tab and click on the "Restore" tab.
    Are you trying to use autofill for your shuffle? Perhaps, to get started, you should turn off autofill and make a playlist. I have found that it is easier to make a playlist of all of the music I want to add to my shuffle. Then I pull this playlist on top of my shuffle and it is updated.
    Your shuffle should play your purchased music with no problems!
