How to Use 2 iPods on the Same Computer
The original settings on an iPod will pair the portable media player with the first version of iTunes synced to that device. Attempting to use that iPod on a different computer will result in all of the content being automatically removed from the device. This can be a nuisance if you're traveling or if you want to sync your iPod with a friend's computer. Changing the settings on the iPods will give you the option of using multiple iPods on the same computer.
