ack!!! ipod help please

ok.....*just* had my ipod and accessories delivered this evening...yay!!!
now, already the issues.

my husband already has his own ipod. how in the world do we get it to not automatically sync both our ipods, i don't see why we have to have the same music on our inidividual ipods....there must be a way to manage them separately, but on the same computer???

no where in the instructions is this addressed, on their website i can't find such info....and of course, their tech support phoneline is closed for the evening. anyone have a clue, do please post. we can't be the only couple with two ipods, one computer. hubby will call apple tomorrow, but if anyone has helpful tips, would be very much appreciated.

so basically what i want to know is how to have individual playlists, etc.....not autosync when you go on your itunes so that we don't have to have the same music on our individual ipods.

thanks.





hubby and i have very similar musical tastes....but doesn't mean we both want the exact same music on our ipods.

when you plug in your ipod, in the lower right hand corner of the itunes screen, will be a little ipod button, click there and choose the option to manually update your ipod so you will not automatically sync all the songs to your ipod. you can make as many playlists as you like and then just drag and drop onto your ipod.

you're welcome also since your ipod has a different name, it remembers your settings so you and your husband can have different options for the ipod.
