You can sync with one and pnly one library. Syning to another will erase the current content.
Not sure if this is your issue as you do not expain your issue.

Why can't I use an iPod touch (3) on a Powerbook G4?

My wife uses my old Powerbook G4 which has iTunes 4.7.8 installed. She now wants to use my old iPod Touch (3rd generation) but can't get iTunes to see the iPod, although it does show under USB in System Profiler.
I have worked my way through the relevant Apple support pages on non-recognition of the iPod and even re-installed the old iTunes but no go.
Do we have any other options?

No. iOS 4.2.1 and later requires iTunes 10.X and 5.1.1 requires iTunes 10.5.
OSX 10.4.11 only allows iTunes 9.X
If your Mac meets these requirements you can update to 10.5.8
General requirements
Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
512MB of memory
DVD drive for installation
9GB of available disk space
You have to call Apple to order it since it is not listed in the on-line Apple store. The price is $129
Downgrading the iOS of the iPod to 4.1, which is supported by 10.4.11 is not supported by Apple.

Why can't I update my ipod touch to the iOS 4.3?

Why can't I update my ipod touch to the iOS 4.3?
I try to update my ipod touch 4th gen. to the new iOS 4.3 software and the thing loads and after the 7-8 minutes or so, when it says "processing file" a pop up says that the network connection has timed out, and to check my network settings. I've tried several different times and get the same result. My wi-fi is working with all three bars and my computer is also connected to the internet. I've tried restoring it but it says I have to get the new software and then I get the same result( this time ipod not restored).... What's going on with my ipod? Anyone help?

Hi,
Have you tried to see if you have the newest version of iTunes? Also, it may help if you try the following steps.
Download iOS from a third-party website (i reccomend http://whited00r.com/) (as this is a full operating system, it is a big download and may take time on a slow internet connection)
Unzip the file.
After unzipping, you should now have a .ipsw file.
Open iTunes
Connect your device and make sure you take a back-up of it first (if you don't all your data will be erased)
Now, while pressing the Restore button, hold down the Alt key (for Mac) or the Shift key (for Windows).
You should now have a window open asking you to choose a file.
Choose the file you just downloaded from whited00r.com
Press OK
It should start replacing your current OS to the new one.
When this finishes, your device will restart
Click restore from (whatever your old device was called)
It will put back all your apps and information

You probably have a 2G iPod and those can only go to 4.2.1. If 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G. A 32 GB can be either . To identify yours:

Why apple dont make siri on ipod touch 4 and iphone 4??? whats the difference??

why apple dont make siri on ipod touch 4 and iphone 4??? whats the difference??

The iPhone 4S has at least twice the memory and twice the processing power than the 4G iPod. That may be why Siri is onon the iPhone 4S. Apple has not really given a reason.

I recently reset my iPod touch 4th gen. (holding power and home buttons at the same time.) now it won't let me change my wallpaper, in the photo section or the settings. Any ideas, please? Thanks.

What happens when you try to change them?
Try:
- 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.

Why Can't I put my Ipod Touch 2nd generation into recovery mode?

I have an ipod touch 2nd generation. I set a passcode on the ipod and then i forgot it. i tried everything and nothing worked and eventually it got locked fully and says "connect to itunes" on it. This is a problem because i no longer have the computer that i last synced to. i have a new laptop now and i threw away the old one.
I know how to fix it. I just have to put it into recovery mode and then restore it.
For some reason, i can't put it into recovery mode. I tried all different methods.
these are the ones i tried:
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212?viewlocale=en_US&cid=acs::itunes_help
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm2D7-PCTaw
i tried a couple more but i lost the links of them.
when i try to do the part of recovery mode where you have to start up the ipod. it doesn't go into recovery mode. it just starts up and pops up on itunes saying i have to unlock the ipod in order for the device to connect to Itunes!
Please help!

Nevermind! after countless tries, i was able to get it into recovery mode!

IPod Touch not working with Sony Stereo, and its not the stereo

I just bought a Sony Stereo with an iPod Dock, it originally played my iPod Touch the first day I had it, but now it doesn't. The stereo works with other iPods in the house so I know it isn't the stereo. Could there be something wrong with my iPod?

You didn't mention which Sony with built-in iPod dock, so if I am to assume it's the same as mine, the CMT-BX20i, it still works fine for playing and charging. Does the IPT charge/sync with the USB cable still?

HT1420 Can multiple users have Itunes accounts on the same computer?

New to the Mac. Can my wife and I have separate iTunes directories on the same computer accessed based on our login?

Yes. This happens automatically with different user accounts on the computer, and can be manually set up for a single account by launching iTunes with the Option key held down.

How can I easily manage different libraries of music between my iPad and my iPhone from the same computer?

My 32 GB iPad stores much more data than my 16 GB iPhone... clearly. But I want to be able to easily sync these two seperate devices with two different sets of music from my iTunes. As it stands now, my iPad will always have the same amount of music as my iPhone because my iPhone is maxed out and the two devices are synced on the same computer from the same library. Do you understand where I'm coming from? Let me know if you need clarification.
I want to be able to have my iPhone filled with individual songs, whereas my iPad would have the full albums. There doesn't seem to be an efficient way to do this with one computer. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

It can be done very easily actually. I do it with three different iDevices.
Connect the iDevice to your PC and launch iTunes. Select the iDevice from the left sidebar of the iTunes window. Then click on the Music Tab. Select only the music that you want on that particular iDevice and then sync the device with those selections.
Do the same thing with the other iDevice. When you sync with iTunes the next time, iTunes will remember the music that was synced to that device.
Make sure that you uncheck Sync Entire Music Library and check Sync Selected playlists, albums, etc and then select all of the music for each device.
When you make changes to the current configuartion on the iPad - you will have to click on Apply in the lower right corner of the iTunes window.

Why can't I use my ipod classic as an external hard disk for my ipad?

Seems a no brainer to me that I should be able to use an ipod as an external hard drive for my ipad. Hec, it's all apple but apparently not.
Does anyone have a solution? if not, come on Apple, support your own products! I thought compatibility and interconnectivity were bywords for apple products.

When I plug in my iPhone 5 into my PC, I should be able to see a new external drive connect. I can do that with my older iphone 4/4s...but not with my iphone 5. Why? Is that feature gone???
Appearing as an external hard drive was never a feature of any iPhone model or iOS version. The only way your older phones could do this is if they are jailbroken.
I'm just trying to backup my photo's and videos onto my own hard drive...now I can't. *****!
That's easily done as descibed here:

If you have a problem inporting photos/videos, see this:
