Why can't I have more than one iTunes linked t my iPod

I have Macs for years, all sorts, I currently actively use, iMac g417,iMac g5 20, iMac intel 24. G4 Mac Mini,Intel Mac Mini, G5 tower, G4 Tower, powerbook g4 and mac book. Yes I know but I work from home with Mac all day...
I have thousands of songs, all legal, I'm old and have huge CD collection.. I have them spread around the Macs.
I want to add different playlist from different iTunes to my iPod, just want to drag and drop. Don't care about iTunes store, my CD, my Macs, My iTunes, My Ipod, Not pirating any thing here, WHY CAN I NOT SIMLY DO THIS. I'm forced to go with another player that does not have these retrictions

Hi Dean, I have no problems using my iPod simultaneously with my notebook and desktop (iBook G4 & iMac G5). All you need to do is un-check the "sync" iPod with iTunes box, or check manually manage music... whatever it is. As long as you are manually managing everything, it should not give you any problems. You can drag and drop to your heart's content! A few notes: MP3 CD's... are amazing, because you don't actually have to import them to your computer, you can just drag and drop the tunes onto your iPod. It might be to your advantage to back up your music libraries on MP3 CD's, the initial process is slightly tedious, but well worth it because you can always create CD's in the future if necessary and free up GB of your hard drive (I'm sure you already thought of this though, you sound pretty savvy.) The ONLY problem I do encounter is sometimes the iTunes on my G5 will just close on me. The trick is to only MANAGE the music from the initial iTunes regardless of where you ADD music from... if that makes sense. Alright, good luck and if you have any questions or anything needs clarifying, just drop me a line (or reply or whatever) Good Luck!
P.S. I am using the newest iPod Video 80GB, I don't know if that will make a difference or not, but both my sisters have different Nano's and they work the same way that mine does.

    How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. The only way is for you to have a separate user account to log into on that computer.

  • Can a PC have more than one iTunes account on it?

    Can a home PC have more than one iTunes account on it?  What happens if I log into my iTunes account on someone else's PC?  I don't have access to my own PC and want to download more music onto my gear.

    1. Yes. Use separate user accounts on the computer; if desired, you can instead launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and create a new iTunes library, but this won't have separate preferences.
    2. Nothing will happen to the existing content. If you're syncing an iPhone, iPod, or iPad, click here.

  • HT2534 Can I have more than one iTunes account on an iPod.

    I want to set up two iTunes accounts on my devices so that my son can buy products from a separate account? Can I do that?

    Yes.
    - Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into other account.
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • Why can't I have more than one library?

    I've got multiple iTunes libraries- one on a computer at home, one on a computer at school. But whenever I try to access my new Shuffle iPod, on library always wants me to delete the other and replace it. What's up with that? Can I bypass it?
    If I can't, where's the uproar? This is NOT user-friendly, Apple!

    This how Apple has chosen to design the iPhone, likely to make piracy more difficult. It has never been any different.
    Put everything on one computer, in one library, and sync from there.

  • Can I have more than one itunes account on my apple tv?

    Can I have more than one itunes account on my apple tv?  We have two accounts in our family and would like to be able to switch between them.

    Thank you.  What I was really trying to find out is if there is a limit on switching iTunes accounts - I have a vague memory of reading that changing from one iTunes store account to another was going to be limited in some way, but maybe this is on iTunes itself?  Or perhaps my memory is incorrect?   We have two iTunes accounts and swap back and forth regularly on our iPhones and iPads to buy and update apps without a problem.  I couldn't find any reference to it on a quick search yesterday so what I have done with the AppleTV is leave it set to one account, and we watched the other account content via my Macbook.

  • Can you have more than one iTunes account with home sharing, Can you have more than one iTunes account with home sharing

    Can you have more than one itunes account at one time with apple tv

    My understanding is that the home sharing is based off of being on the same Wifi.  So if someone brings their laptop to your house and connects to your Wifi and they have home sharing on they can connect so you can see his/her iTunes library on your iTunes. 
    I haven't tried this though.  We have two laptops at home, both using my iTunes account and I can see each other's iTunes library, which I'm guessing is what you're probably doing now.  I'd be interested to know if my thought above is true. 

  • Hi, can anyone tell me if I can have more than one iTunes account on the same PC. I've just bought my wife an iPad2 and want to create a separate account for her. Can I do that on the same PC as mine?

    Hi, can anyone tell me if I can have more than one iTunes account on the same PC. I've just bought my wife an iPad2 and want to create a separate account for her. Can I do that on the same PC as mine? Thanks.

    I would advise that you not set up a second Apple ID. It's really not necessary - having two Apple IDs won't affect how iTunes works with your iPads - and will just complicate matters. Each iPad will be treated independently and can be set to sync only the items you want on that particular iPad. If you really want to keep the two iPads separate, set up different iTunes libraries and have only those items you want on the related iPad in that library, rather than a different Apple ID. If you plan not to use a computer and just download directly to the iPads, you can again choose what apps and content each iPad gets.
    But answering your specific question, you can have content from up to five iTunes Store accounts on any one computer or iPad. To create a new iTunes Store account, you'll need a different email address, and from there you just create the account the same way you did the first one.
    Regards.

  • I have a PC, Windows 7 x64. I installed a plug-in in Elements 13. I tried to installed another plug-in. It replaced the first plug-in . Can't I have more than one plug-in at a time??? If so, how?

    I have a PC with Windows 7 x64. I have Elements 13. I installed a plug-in (Topaz) which appeared under the Filter Menu.
    Then I tried to install my new Canon Printer software plug-in which put it under FILE > AUTOMATION TOOLS. However, when I tried to use TOPAZ under the FILTER MENU it was gone. In other words, the Canon printer plug-in replaced my Topaz plug-in. When I reinstalled the Topaz plug-in, it replaced the Canon Printer Plug-in.
    QUESTION: Can't I have more than one plug-in installed in Photoshop Elements 13 at a time? So that the Canon printer plug-in is in AUTOMATION TOOLS, and the Topaz plug-in is under the FILTER menu?

    Have a look at this thread.

    Before you try some of the suggestions bear in mind that your iPod is still under warranty.
