sorry for another one of these but i actually have 2 questions:

the first one is this, i have an ipod mini that absolutly sucks a left nut, the battery sucks and shit, so im sending it in to apple and for 160 bucks they send you a referbished ipod with a brand new battery. when i first got the ipod, i put it on one computer in my house, dled all the songs i wanted and put them on itunes from that computer. i changed the computer i wanted to use for my pod, so i did this weird thing that i plugged it into my computer and now the files arnt actualy on the computer i think, just on my ipod from before. my question is, when i get the new ipod will the songs that did not have the file on this computer, but still in my itunes because my ipod was plugged into it, be transferable to my new ipod? ik its hard to understand but try to help me out.

and my other question is i just got a shuffle for skiing and shit and i was wondering if you can run 2 ipods from the same itunes and how can you do that?

thanks

you can manage however many pods ya want, just make sure when you plug it in for the first time, set it to manually manage songs and not automattically or else your fucked and itll start doin compiliations and cleanups and stuff

Go online and download PodUtil. just google it. YOu can't automatically get the files from your iPod and just transfer it to a new computer, unless its in harddrive mode, which yours obviously isn't.  You can't play songs off your ipod on itunes, did you notice that too?  Also, remember to set your ipods to manual.

woah woah hold up, yeah the songs dont play on the new computer. but the part about you caznt just transfer them to a new computer, i did that. i had the songs i had on my old computer, got a new computer, plugged the ipod in, did some sort of thing cant remember, and they showed up on itunes, but i cant play them becuase it says it cant locate the file.

it says that because its readin the songs off the ipod and not off the computer

it wont play it because it says it cant find the source file because the songs arnt on your comp yet.

they have a program you can buy/download that can rip the songs from your ipod to the comp.

im not sure what its called tho

hope that helps
