Two iPods on One Computer?

[Brad]

This may have been discussed before so my apologies if it's repetitous. My son has an ipod and has all of his songs on our computer. My wife just got one as a present (a Nano) and would like to put her songs on it. Can you have two ipods using the same computer. His is set for automatic uploads and syncing. If possible, I would imagine hers would have to be set for manual. Thanks.

I have two iPods associated with my computer, but I have them both set to manual. I've never used the automatic syncing. However, I don't see why you couldn't have one manual and one automatic, since those settings are in the iPod and not in iTunes.

Thanks Noj but let's forget the ipod and concentrate on that image. Hmmm

Does your son have his own logon to your computer? Does iTunes recognize different user accounts?

Sorry, I know, it's not an answer but more questions...I'm having trouble concentrating because of "Scarlett Fever".

Those are the new iPods with large memory!

We have three IPod users on our computer, myself, my wife and my daughter. Each of us has a distinct music library on ITunes, very different from the others. We all log on separately onto the same computer. None of this is particularly difficult. If we can do it, anyone can. Collectively our computer knowledge is extremely limited.

Thanks, that answers my question about multiple logons.

He doesn't have his own sign on. I used the other ipod used yesterday and then he used it last night to update so it worked well. I think it probably recognizes just one user account.
