I have a brand new Dell PC (5000). I have 2 brand new mini ipods.

The PC has been set up with 2 log ins - one for me and one for my wife.

One ipod software disk has been downloaded and one ipod registered via serial number. I-tunes is working fine on both logins i.e. recording music onto the seperate Itune software on the seperate log ins.

However I do not know how to register the second mini ipod to ransfer music from itunes to the second ipod.

The first ipod & itunes is woking fine and is downloading music to the first ipod.

However while we can load songs onto the second Itunes - we cannot transfer the music to the second ipod.

I believe this must be because we haven't registered the second ipod's serial no because we haven't downloaded the CD that came with that Ipod.

Do we download the second install CD? My tech friends say downloading 2 lots of the same software is bad but I don't know how to register the second ipod.

Can anyone help?

I've had my ipod mini for about 8 months now and everything's working fine and downloading is fine.Recently my sister bought an ipod mini, and if she wants to use some of my songs on her ipod how can I put them on her ipod without unclicking every song in my library ? Is there a way I can also use her songs ? Please help.

you have to give the second iPod a different designation/name. Go to the tech support at apple.com and you will get some answers there.

What is the best way to set up two ipods on one computer. I have an ipod and nano. The PC is a Dell with enough disc space for all the songs.

What issues are there with doing this?
