2 iPods, 1 cup

[Stu]

I mean 1 computer, can it be done?

My Brother in law's iPod Touch is synched fine with their MacBook, so how do I put music on my sister's Nano?

Many thanks

drag and drop?

doesn't work
Tried Command C & Command V, but no luck either

I Think I could sync, which will loose all the existing music on the nano - so is the only choice to have the Touch, nano & Mac all to be exactly the same?

i think the nano will need to be synced with the computer to allow you to put the music on it. if there is music on it that you dont want to be lost, can you not save the files from it onto the new comp before syncing?

Hi, set up 2 users
i.e stu's ipod, mrs stu's ipod

I maybe wrong but I think each iPod can be synched to 5 computers, when you plug it I'm it recognises it.

At least that seems to happen with ours, my wife and use our iPods on the laptop and the main pc

Bris that would work with windows but my sister seems to have gone Mac crazy

You seem to be confused with simple arithmetic. In the OP there was multiple iPods but only 1 computer

You can link upto 5 ipods to one account. But you cant then plug that ipod into another pc and sync more tunes with that. It will erase all contaents, unless you change the settings.

OK, still struggling with this.

we've gone out and bought another computer just to sync with this iPod. But when we try to synch it says all music will be removed from the iPod and deleted first.

I've tried copying the music off the ipod first both through iTunes & explorer, but neither works.

You can have multiple Ipods with a single computer. Synching it will delete all the data the first time only as it adjusts to work with that computer. Drop me a PM if need be
