Is it true that iPod's will only sinc to one computer? HELP? Can you disable it by turning on the hold switch?

I highly recommend using Apple's support site (http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/) rather than asking Amazon users. Most don't actually know what they're talking about. You can easily back up, transfer, switch computers, etc (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329) Also, you can switch to manually sync your iPod which will allow you to sync with many computers. The purpose of auto-syncing is to ensure that the changes you make on your computer are mirrored on your iPod. However, there are many other easy ways to manage your iPod such as dragging-and-dropping playlists straight to the iPod. (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351)

Hey Richard, I bought a SonyEricsson w810 (unlocked) about two weeks ago. I can transfer pics I downloaded from the net into my mac powerbook g4 10.3.9, then into my phone via usb. I can transfer and play non-protected music the same way. What has me considering sending back the phone (bought it through Meritline.com, which is another frustrating story) is that, even after creating music folders, my w810 will only play one song. Nothing concurrently. I'd might as well be flipping 45 rpm's on an old turntable (remember those?). I'm so frustrated, I'm condidering just getting the iphone, even with it's reported first-generation problems. Best of luck!

On Windows, you can set up separate user accounts. These separate user accounts use different directories in iTunes, so each of you will have your own song list without each other's music to sync your iPod to.

No you can only sinc one item at a time.If I want to switch from my iPad to my iPhone I have to turn Bluetooth off on the one n order to sink another. It really does sound good though I hope this helps you.

This has happened to me. I fixed my problem by resetting my iPod. Please download the manual from Apple's website. Unfortunately Amazon won't let me post the direct link. Go to Chapter 6 (page 55) of the current manual to troubleshoot. If you use Windows version of iPod and you manually update your playlists, your problem may have been triggered by improper disconnection. If that's the case, make sure you always eject your iPod first by using Window's System Tray (much like disconnecting flash drives). Good luck!

My wife's mac isn't cooperating with her new Clip. Any special steps you took to get it to work? I'm a PC guy, so I'm no help figuring this stuff out. Her IT guy at work - Mac environment - suggested an iPod... of course.

I've unplugged it from time to time (really just to move it) and haven't had to reset it up. Since I've written the review, I have seen some AirPlay disconnects (even with setting a static IP address). I know that setting a static IP is the way to go, but again have had a couple interruptions of music.

I've heard it is, but I just did it. I submitted an email to the apple support team and they sent me links addressing how to legally move your music library from one computer to another. Bottom line... It can be done. Don't let the rumors scare you out of purchasing an I-Pod.

No u cannot pair two devices. It will only disconnect one then coneect to other. But not to both. If your phone is on it will not be available to search on the ipod. Srry.

My experience was that I did just that....plugged in my ipod cord and played the music, no extra app required. However, two things happened: a) the ipod's battery was depleted (for some reason, I expected one of the two-pronged cords would provide a charge) and b) the system's preset buttons became unresponsive to the touch. I unplugged the ipod and reset the preset buttons and I've had no problems at all since then (several months ago) - however, I haven't bothered to use the ipod since then. It may have had nothing at all to do with b).....

I have had my system now for over two years, and I not had one problem with it. I do use the dock for my Ipod/Itouch probably 95% but I also play CD's. Maybe I just got lucky and the system I purchased was very well made. I have never had a problem with the repeat function on the CD's

No because the iPod is a proprietary device that only syncs with Apple's iTunes.

Yes you can, both will be connected simultaneously, but won't play at the same time. To switch devices, you switch audio sources, which would show as Bluetooth 1 and 2 and whatever name you named your devices. But since you're using an iPhone you would have a better experience connecting your iPhone to the iPhone/iPod connection cable. Your audio would be better quality and there should be better integration for calls. Album art etc would also show up. I'm not sure about the iP5 connection though if you're using anything with the lightning port, you would probably need some kind of adapter and there's no telling how that would work.

There is a standard USB input on the front panel for connecting ipods, ipads, iphones etc I connect my ipod directly to the front and enjoy, no problems

Nope. To use it you go to the Xm radio and you can switch it between the Xm radio the auxiliary iPod/iPhone or the usb cable. There is some videos on YouTube demonstrating how it works if you search it.

Yes to all of your questions. To use multiple iPods on your computer, just set up different playlists for each iPod (especially for the nano) and set the particular iPod to sync ONLY with that playlist. You can only do this while the iPod is connected to the computer, but it makes syncing very easy and managable. I have 3 iPods (3rd Generation 40 GB, iPod mini 4GB and the new 5th Gen 80GB video ipod. Only my new video iPod syncs with my entire database and my 3G and mini sync only with their specific playlists. You can also manage separate playlists within these playlists as well!
