Ipod Question?

Question

I'm looking to buy an IPOD as a gift for my spouse. We have two laptops in my house, one which is my daughters and is very up to date, and ours, which works, moves a little slow etc.. What I want to know is if the Itunes program on my daughters computer can be set up for two different IPODS without my spouse plugging in the new one and getting all of my daughter's songs.

Answer 1

you can do this if you set up another user account. this is easy to do if you have Windows XP as all you need to do is click on the user icon on the start up options. otherwise go to control panel and there is an option to set up another account, whether it be a guest or a standard user account. a guest account provides only basic control of the files on the computer and is what most business networks are set up on so that you do not have access to certain files and also to system files.



just set up another account and then save all the music files that you have downloaded etc into another file in My Documents to save confusion eg X's Documents. you can take the music from there to put into itunes then and onto your ipod



Hope this is of some help!

Answer 2

Yes its possible.



As for buying one now...



I wouldn't get one this late in the game, personally. At the rate things have been going, ipods are updated every september. So wait until the better and cheaper ones come out. I heard they have wireless and a big screen!



Here are when the ipod were released by generation:

Do you see a pattern? I sure do!

Answer 3

i'd bypass with the iPod touch because of the fact of common touch-show navigation and a advantageous length show. The show length is acceptable for enjoying movies on the bypass. The music sounds great in the time of the headphones, yet you may in basic terms use the headphones that come out of the container, no different headphones will in nice condition. 8GB isn't probably that plenty, yet once you dont want to apply rather some memory, 8GB would be okay. in case you want to get a extra fee-effective iPod bypass with the classic, yet i do propose the touch.

Answer 4

yea you can have as many iPods as you want. to stop all your daughters songs going onto your spouses iPod make sure you choose the option to manually magage songs rather than let iTunes automatically update the iPod and put all the songs on there.

Answer 5

yes, if you go under preferences on itunes when your ipod is plugged into the computer thats not your daughters then you can tell it not to update automatically under the "ipod" tab

Answer 6

Yes, when you plug in the new I-Pod it will ask you if you want to sinc it, tell it no, then you just set up new play lists and drag those into the new ipod's libary.
