From: henree64 on 29 Nov 2005 00:54 I am replacing my imac soon. And I was wondering if I could hook up the ipod to both computers. The ipod I have now is registered in my name. But I wasn't sure if I could use the ipod with a new computer and new itunes playlist simultaneously.

There may be (probably are) hacks out there, but the way it is meant to be, you associate an iPod with one iTunes library on one computer at a time. -- /Jon For mail address, run the following in Terminal: echo 36199371860304980107073482417748002696458P|dc _________________________________________ Usenet Zone Free Binaries Usenet Server More than 140,000 groups Unlimited download http://www.usenetzone.com to open account
From: Martin Gagnon on 29 Nov 2005 07:28 Depending on what you want, you can disable the "library sync" and manages the songs on your ipod manually. (i.e. by drag'n'drop the songs y ou want). For myself.. I use my Ipod with only one iTune and I pefer this way.

Yes, if you sync it manually (except for the iPod Shuffle.) I use my iPods on four Macs. Davoud -- usenet *at* davidillig dawt com

Do you then sync it only with selected playlists? -- /Jon For mail address, run the following in Terminal: echo 36199371860304980107073482417748002696458P|dc _________________________________________ Usenet Zone Free Binaries Usenet Server More than 140,000 groups Unlimited download http://www.usenetzone.com to open account |
