How many iPods can sync with One iTunes account?

How many iPods can one sync with an iTunes account ? I have searched the net and there are many different posts but none conclusive. So was wondering if anyone here had a clear idea on that.

Thanks in advance,

Don't get mistaken with iPod and iTunes accounts.

If you're trying to ask how many iPods can one computer unit sync, I think the answer is basically as much as you want. You can sync as many iPods as you want into one computer unit. 🙂

If you're trying to ask how many computers can an iTunes account authorize? Answer is 5. 🙂

But how many ipod can I sync with only one iunes store account?


As above, unlimited.

do i need to buy those 60 apps again to sync them with the other ipod touch


No. Once you've purchased an application, you shouldn't need to pay for it again from the same iTunes Store account under any circumstances.

None.
iPod don't sync with an iTunes account.
iPods sync with iTunes on a computer.
You can have 5 computers authorized to play songs/movies from one iTunes account.
Each computer can have 5 iTunes accounts authorized.
An iPod can have music/movies from 5 different iTunes accounts.

Note that this only applies to iTunes purchases with DRM, which is movies, tv shows and older iTunes music. All music now purcahsed is DRM free.

Same for apps as it is for music.
i'm only concerned if i have to buy all my apps again so i can sync them with my other ipod

No, you will not have to purchase them again.
but if i configure them both to use the same itunes store/app store account there won't be any problem right ?

Since you do not configure them to use the apps store, except by logging into iTunes and then syncing the touch, yes, there will be no problem.
