My oldest daughter has an i-pod, we just bought our other daughter her own i-pod. The question I have is how to I put her songs that are already bought through itunes on to the 2nd i pod we just bought? I can't seem to figure it out. Any information you can give me would be great. Thanks
 
I have an ipod nano. For my sister's HS graduation, I bought her one as well. I had my laptop (which has all of my downloaded itunes on it) with me when I gave it to her. We just took the USB cable that came with it and plugged it between my computer and her ipod. The computer asked for the name of the ipod, so I used my sister's name and it just downloaded everything on my itunes onto her ipod.

HTH
 
I knew how to do this becasue DW and I share an iTunes but wasnt sure I could explain it clearly and then found this online.

In most cases, the easiest way to keep discrete libraries for syncing both iPods is to create a separate user account for each person who uses an iPod with the computer.

First, click Start > Control Panel > User Accounts (Start > Settings > Control Panel if you use the Classic view). Click 'Create a new account' and follow the instructions.

Windows XP kindly provides a shared folder that already includes a directory called Shared Music (find it under C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents). The easiest thing to do is to copy all the music on your computer into this folder so that all users can access it. Then the lucky owner of the new iPod can pick and choose what music to include in his or her iTunes Library.

From the new account, in iTunes, click File > Add Folder To Library, and copy over whatever music you want (make sure to check the box next to 'Copy files to iTunes music folder' when adding to library, under Advanced in the Preferences dialogue box, so that iTunes doesn't consolidate the files for the music library).

Now both users can share all or part of the same library, add new music whenever necessary and automatically update their iPods without the hassle of manually sifting through a large shared library.
