What happens if 2 ipods are synced to the same itunes?
The earth reverses it's rotation.
What do you mean "what happens"? Nothing "happens".
You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like to the same itunes.

My wife and I both have iPhones and iPads. Can we both have access to the same iTunes Match library or do we have to have separate subscriptions? Our devices are synced to the same computer and we currently download titles from the same library. We both use separate apple id's on our devices.
You need to reconfigure your phone for use with your Apple ID. I suggest you restore yours as new then reconfigure it with your information and Apple ID. Be sure to disable Find My Phone, if it's enabled, before proceeding.
Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device: Several Alternative Solutions
A
1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode
4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode
5. iOS- Understanding passcodes
6. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
7. iOS - Unable to update or restore
Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
iPad,iPod,iPod Touch Recovery Mode
You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

I am unable to sync my iPad with my new MacBook Air without losing all photos even though both are linked to the same iTunes account
Transferring photos from your computer has nothing to do with your iTunes account/Apple ID.
Photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring photos from another, all photos on the iPad that were transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPad first - even if the photos were transferred from the old or different computer to the new computer being used for syncing.
When transferring photos from your computer, what is named the iPod Photo Cache is created on your computer for the photos that are transferred and why you see new photos being transferres are optimized before the actual transfer process. The iPod Photo Cache for these photos on the computer the photos were transferred from is not available on your new computer.
Since all photos on your iPad that were transferred from the old or different computer should remain on that computer, transfer the photos from that computer to your new computer. These photos on your iPad will be erased with the first sync but will be re-transferred along with a new iPod Photo Cache for these photos being created on your new computer. -
Can I use more than 1 device ie iPod and iPhone on the same iTunes account and have different music on them
Yes. Use the option to sync with selected playlists on the music tab when your devices are connected.

Can I stream and sync from the same itunes library to one AppleTV?
Can I stream and sync from the same itunes library to one AppleTV?
From what I can tell this is a bug.
A very Frustrating bug. When the take 2 update launched I was streaming movies via "shared movies" from my synched computer without any issues. However after a couple of recent iTunes updates all the "shared" menus stopped appearing and I can no longer stream anything from my main computer.
When I open up my macbook though everything streams fine, all the "shared" menus immediately appear.
Numerous restarts, factory resets and reinstalling the 2.0 software have done nothing to help this issue.
If anyone has any more light on the subject it'd be great to hear. Also I'm not sure which update broke it because I went about a month not using the apple tv. -
I have download a video on my iPhone but want to watch it on my iPad which both are connected to the same iTunes account but it hasn't shared to my iPad !?? When I try to download on my iPad says I've already purchased and would I like to buy again ?
Movies are not part of the automatic downloads feature. Apps, music and books only.
If you live in the U.S. you can download many Movies again for free using the same Apple ID that you bought the movie with. If you do not live in the U.S, that feature is not available. Not all Movies are available at this time either.
You can transfer the movie to iTunes on your computer and then sync it to the iPad if you like. -
I purchased a song on my iMac on iTunes and it plays on that but won't play on my macbook even though both computers are authorized under the same iTunes account. It says that i have to authorize my macbook and sign into iTunes, but then says its already authorized. How do I fix this?
Hi stuartbonk,
Welcome to the Support Communities! Here are some steps you can try if you keep getting asked to authorize your MacBook for iTunes:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203160
If you authorize your computer to play your iTunes Store purchases, but you can't play them and iTunes keeps prompting you to authorize, try these suggestions.
Authorize your purchases from an administrator account
To authorize your purchases from an administrator account, follow these steps:
Log in to the administrator account.
Note: If you don't have access to an administrator password, you'll need to contact the administrator of this computer. If this is a work computer, this may be your IT department.
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed. You can download the latest version free.
Choose Store > Authorize Computer.
Enter your iTunes account name and password.
Note: If you have multiple accounts, you'll need to log in to the iTunes Store and authorize each account separately.
Quit iTunes.
After you've authorized your computer on your administrator account, you'll need to log out and log back in to the user account you'd like to play your purchases from. Once you're logged back in, simply open iTunes, select an iTunes Store purchase in your library, and click Play. The item should begin to play.Authorize using the correct account name
The items you're trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you'll need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.Remove the SC Info folderIf you're still unable to authorize your computer to play your purchases, you may be able to resolve your issue by removing the "SC Info" folder. To do so, follow these steps:
OS X
Quit iTunes and any other open applications until only Finder is open.
Choose Go > Go to Folder.
Type /Users/Shared/SC Info and click Go.
If Finder is not already set to column view, set it by choosing View > as Columns.
Select the SC Info folder and move it to the Trash by choosing File > Move to Trash.
Restart the computer and open iTunes.
Authorize your computer to play your purchases. Note: If you have multiple accounts you'll need to authorize your computer for each account. For more information on how to authorize your computer, see this article.

My partner and I both have iPhone 5s and an iPad. We registered all three products with the same iTunes account as we download music and movies together. I have noticed when my partner sends me a message it also appears on my phone that I have sent it AND recieved it. The same goes for when I text him. I send the message to his phone and my phone also recieves it. Facetime does the same thing. Its very strange. Does any one know what I can do to stop this from happening?
To stop this, don't use the same Apple ID on both phones for iMessage and FaceTime. (You can continue to use the same ID for iTunes; it doesn't need to be the same as the ID used for iMessage or FaceTime.)
On one of the phones, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. Then do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime. -
hello to all i need help i dont know how to sync my new ipod shuffle.
i have an itouch 2nd gen and i want my ipod shuffle to sync the same itunes library songs to my ipod shuffle.
i read topics regarding on how to sync with multiple ipods in one library but dont understand.
my O.S is windows xp
thank you all!All you really need to do is connect the Shuffle to iTunes and set it up to sync however you like. It will have no affect on your iPod Touch syncs.

My kids are using 4 different ipods with the same itunes/apple account, Is there something I can for them to use facetime/imessages withouth seeing eachothers messages? I mean set up different accounts for messages?
- Create a NEW account using these instructions for each user. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
- Us the new ID for Settings>FaceTime and Settings>Messags>Send and Receive and Settings>iCloud. Continue to use the common ID for Settings>iTuns and App Stores. -
What happens to Game Center if I have the same game on my iPad and my iPhone?
I have an iPhone and an iPad on the same Apple ID. I have a few games on my iPhone that I would like to play on my iPad too. I would like some information on what will happen to my Game Center profile if I download these games to my iPad too.
Will the game progression, achievements, and leaderboard position on my iPhone be synced with my iPad (so I could continue from where I left off on my iPhone)?
If the the answer to the question above is no:
Will the games recognize what achievements I have earned already?
Will the games recognize my leaderboard positions?
Will the progression on my iPhone be deleted and moved to my iPad?This link is for profile settings I have a iPad and iPhone with the same Apple ID, but on Game Center I have used the same id for both devices and they are two different profiles and I was wondering how to have one of the accounts on both devices.
I couldn't find anything else using google.
You may need to just test out one app and see what happens. -
I recently authorized my iphone to my wife's imac and synced them so we could share music and apps. Can we both still use separate apple id's to purchase apps and music and still share them?
Kappy wrote:
Unfortunately, apps and music purchased under one Apple ID cannot be shared with a device on a different Apple ID.
Sorry Kappy, not quite true:
Here's how to do so using different computers:
Transfer what content you want to the separate iTunes library on each computer. To transfer content from your library to your wife's library so that she can use it on her phone or from your wife's library to your library, do this:
1. Launch iTunes under your wife's login.
2. Sign her out of iTunes & then you sign in.
3. iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Disable auto-sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected.
4. Connect your phone, DO NOT SYNC!
5. Store>Authorize this Computer(only have to do this once).
6. File Transfer Purchases(all of the purchased content on your phone will be transferred to your wife's library).
7. When complete, eject your phone, sign out of iTunes, sign your wife back in.
You can now sync whatever content you want to your wife's phone. Just remember, all updates to apps obtained using your account must be done while signed in using your account: sign wife out, you sign in, update apps, you sign out, sign wife in, sync her phone.
This way you can share content(permitted under the EUSLA) and still maintain your separate logins. Do the same on your computer if you want to share content from your wife's library.
Just load whatever content you want to share on each others phones, transfer the content, then delete it from the respective phone if you don't want to keep it there. -
Multiple ipods synced to the same itunes question...
i have a 60 gig i pod and when i bought my new imac, i got an ipod nano... i am a runner and love to use the nano to work out with. i make a "running mix" that i change almost daily to keep it fresh and not boring. is there a way that i can set the ipod to sync to that place list AND be able to add stuff manually to the nano? i have like 40 gig of music and it obviously wont all fit on the nano. i want the nano to automatically update the running mix every time i hook it up to itunes. so far i can only figure out how to do one or the other... either manually update or only sync it to one or multiple playlists. can anyone help me?
You can't sync and manually manage your music you have to do one or the other. However what you could do if you want to easily change the music regularly and make the iPod simple to update is to use "Sync Music - Selected Playlists" and sync from a smart playlist that chooses songs randomly from iTunes. Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod Nano to make it the first playlist in Sources. Make it a random Smart playlist limited to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano). Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
How to use multiple iPods with one computer
To make a random playlist go to File>New Smart Playlist.
Uncheck "Match the following rule"
Check "Limit to" put "3700" in the number box, choose "MB" from the first list box, choose "Random" from the next list box. Check "Live Updating"
When you want to change the selection in the playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection, connect your iPod to iTunes to update it with the changes. -
What happened when multiple audio players start at the same time?
Hi,everyone!
I am developing a game, using JMF to play sound.
These sound are stored in mp3 files.
In order to decode mp3 files, I installed JMF and mp3-plugin( jmf-2_1_1e-windows-i586.exe , javamp3-1_0.exe).
In the Game, a background music play back repeatly.When EndOfMediaEvent happened, I setMediaTime(new Time(0)) and then start().It works well.
There are several sound-effects,may start at any time,
so 2 or more sounds may play back at the same time,
and then Strange things happened.
Those sound-effects, usually short, can not play back inextenso.
They lose some beginning part, the length of the part is not constant.
i.e. Audio should start at MediaTime 0, but now they start at MediaTime x, x >= 0,
not only that, sometimes, Audio process bar runs, but no sound heared.
I do not know what is happening.
So please help me, thanks a lot.
The way that I use Players:
initialize:
create realized players from mp3 files
prefetch them
finalize:
deallocate not null players
then close them
using:
player.setMediaTime(new Time(0))
then player.start()
My Environment:
Windows XP, java 1.4.10, JMF2.1.1, MP3-plugin1.0This is very strange, difficult to guess the cause... never had such an issue. Normally when the object to which the audio is attached disappears the audio stops. So in your case going to a next slide should stop the audio of the previous slide. Same with object audio.
Do you have the different audio clips (one per slide) in the Library? Could you try to delete the audio on the slide and drag it again from the Library to see if you have the same result? And what happens when you attach the audio clip to an object on the slide (you can create a totally transparent rectangle with no stroke that will not be visible to attach the audio).

How can I sync my iPod with another iPod as I use the same iTunes account?
I currently have an iPod Nano and want to go for an iPod Touch soon. My iPod Nano has a lot of iTunes music that I’d rather not have to pay for a second time. How can I get that music on to my new iPod without having to pay for it again?
The best approach would be to register your new iPod to your current iTunes account then sync to the matching library much like your old one. You can learn more about BACKING UP and managing content simply by downloading and reading on your user guide.
