How to Use Multiple Ipods With One Computer
If the settings of an iPod are set to automatically sync the device with the iTunes software, you will only be able to use the iPod on one computer. Changing these settings will fix this problem and give you the option of using the iPod on any computer that has iTunes installed on it. Altering these settings on different iPods will also allow you to use as many iPods on the one computer as you wish without the programming erasing the music and videos found on the iPods.
