How to Synch an iPod With Two Computers?

Sync your iPod with two computers.

You will have to sync an iPod with iTunes on a computer from time to time in order to manage the files that are saved on the iPod. Syncing that same iPod with two or more computers, however, might result in every song being automatically deleted from the iPod. Changing the way the iPod syncs with all computers will make it safe for you to sync your iPod with any computer.

Things You'll Need

• iPod USB cord

Instructions

1. Connect the iPod to one of the two computers using an iPod USB cord.

2. Open iTunes.

3. Click the name of the iPod located underneath the "Devices" category.

4. Click the "Summary" tab at the top of iTunes.

5. Scroll down the middle of iTunes and click on the box to the side of "Manually manage music and videos."

6. Click "Apply" near the bottom of the program. Disconnect your iPod after an alert appears at the top of iTunes saying the sync process has finished.

7. Connect the iPod to the second computer (as described in Step 1) and open iTunes on the computer. The iPod will safely sync with the computer.
