2 I Pods on same computer???

Sorry I wasn't clear but I did delete the songs. What I was meaning was whole albums or play lists that I had transferred up to the I pod. I removed the whole groupings & many individual songs.

Do the songs have to be deleted from the master song list on the I pod or out of the play lists them selves. It appears their still listed under "music" even though I may have removed them from a play list on the I pod?
Thanks so much!

Thank You so much! One last question? Is there anyway to delete more then 1 song at a time?

Hi, I'm no wiz with this stuff but I was fortunate to discover Cnet when I 1st joined the Computer generation so what I know is from there & learned to use forums. The I Pods are totally compatible with Widows & Vista & I've had Zero problems. I'm going to send you 2 links to Cnet's main Downloads pg. then their I tunes update pg. where you can read for your self editors & users reviews. At bottom there's a video where Cnet editors explain pgm. 1st. http://download.cnet.com/windows/ Then select from list on left " I-Pod options. Then http://download.cnet.com/Apple-iTunes/3000-2141_4-10235268.html?tag=mncol;pop
Please forgive me if this is old hat!
Getting back my experience, sounds like pgm. difference is 9 gives more options using I Tunes, check it out. My only issues with using two on same computer are that it makes a huge library which is common to both. Absolutely don't sync the Library & I pod do it manually.
Once I learned here that I pod songs can only be deleted from I Pods master song list I was happy to realize that they weren't being read as one by computer But this helped more, disconnect I Pod then go back to It Tunes Library Where you know can safely delete whole albums or just songs depending which list page your viewing. If you do it while it's still connected it will remove songs from I pod as well. As long as you don't use "Sync feature: It won't delete them! Sure Hope this is what your looking for! Forgive me if its redundant!
Best! Steve

Sorry I don't understand, actually I've never understood what the checked boxes accomplishes? Are you saying to set up all song storage by syncing rather then manual? I use both only for music& I don't want all the songs on both. Before I discovered for songs to actually deleted from the I-pod that had to be deleted from the I-Pod master song list only not the I-Pod Play lists. Once that I-Pod is then disconnected the sons & or albums can then be removed from the library with out loosing those songs from that I-Pod only if system is set to Manual control!
So what does sync checking all those songs boxes do? Does each I pod then have to have checked different boxes for the next group of play lists to be on the next I-Pod? If their all checked how does the system know the difference for each I-Pod?
