on my 80gb ipod i HAD a lot of PURCHASED tv shows that i could never sync to my other 2 devices, then suddendly i connect the iphone and a box pops up saying that syncyng the iphone will replace my library and by mistake i clicked yes…. now my entire 80gb ipod library was erased. everything from music, tv shows, movies and pictures were deleted. and i cant seem to find the files on my laptop anywhere. how can i retreive my music, movies and tv shows back so that i can sync them to my 80gb ipod again without having to purchase them again.

p.s. i think thal all 3 devices had different accounts. but i dont think i know how to manage them all 3 on the same computer

I have windows. And i have hardly any music on itunes just from CD’s. I need more music and I know someone that has a ton of the music that i like. The problem is that his itunes already has 5 ipods synced to it. I was wondering if there was anyway that I can still somehow hook it up to there computer (windows) and still get the music (even though il be the 6th user)………..also if i am able to do this, will it erase everything that is already on there. and when i hook it back up to my CPU will it erase everything i put on at his house???????????????? thanks

http://www.ipodrobot.com/blog/how-to-managing-multiple-ipods-in-one-computer.htm

Very userfriendly!

Only additional step I have added is to have my own playlist automatically synchronised:
Connect the iPod to the PC. When you plug in that iPod and the device name appears in the left hand column, right click on device name and change it to “Manually Update” and then change it to “Update only selected playlists”

I have just downloaded ipod 3.1 software for my ipod touch. Can I also use it for my daughters ipod touch or do I have to buy it and download it again? We use the same computer but have different accounts. Thanks in advance!

I Tried doing this because I have two iPods. One for my store’s use and one for my personal use. Your method worked for the first one, but when I went to do my personal iPod I couldnt get it to update to only the song I’ve selected for the the smart playlist. You said change it to “manually update” and then to “update only selected playlists”. I changed it to manually update and now I can’t update only selected playlists! I don’t really know what to do now…. help?
