ipod Touch Question

[Mommy Poppins]

My kids each got an Ipod touch for Christmas. My daughter already had a Nano and therefore has an itunes account. We are trying to set up all of their ipods on her account so that they can share music/apps. However, we are having trouble. Is there a trick to getting them all attached to the same itunes account?

No trick, when you set each thing up for the first time, you will say that you have an account already and enter your daughter's account info.

They all have to be synced through the same iTunes library though - you can't sync one to one computer, one to another, etc. and have all the same account. The music only resides in one place so if you try to sync a device to a computer with nothing in the iTunes library, it will want to remove everything from the iPod (that's is a really generic basic explanation and there are more nuances to that related to Home Sharing, networked computers, etc. - but that's the basic gist of it).
