O.P. help with itunes
I hate itunes but for the sake of my sister im installing it.

I have a few questions though.

If i install it on my computer and put a whole lot of songs on her ipod, can she then install it on her computer and have all the music still work? or will there be conflicts and what not

also, if i uninstall it, will i get issues with my music? like the deletion of my music collection?

hai love!!

you can't use an ipod on two computers, you can only use it on one computer with one ipod install. you need to connect her ipod her computer, enable disk usage and manual sync, connect it to your computer and use a program such as floola to get your music on it. if both of you used a program like floola, you wouldn't have these issues. (basically itunes sucks and its a damn hassle and its better to use alternative ipod managers)

no, unless you let it delete your library along with your music

well that's wrong, lol

you most definitely CAN use an ipod on two computers, just make sure it's not set to auto-sync (if the libraries on the two computers aren't synced).  then you can just drag and drop files onto the ipod from within itunes, you don't need "floola" or anything else, itunes works perfectly fine and i've used it for 4 years (since i got my first ipod) with no problems whatsoever

no need to enable disk usage either, you just need to have auto- sync disabled, otherwise each time you plugged the ipod into the respective computers it would erase the ipod contents and replace it with the whole library from the computer

with manual sync on you can just drag and drop new files onto the ipod in itunes

The older versions of itunes could do this i think, but from 7.0 upwards, this was disabled, no?

eh, nope..
Perhaps, my nano is the first generation and allows me to do that.

You can manage your iPod with different computers as long as the computers are running the same operating system (Mac OS X or Windows) and you have set the iPod to "Manually manage music." If you're not using iTunes 7 or later, click here.
