Can I use itunes for more than one device?

Recently my son has aquired an ipod touch, he needs to be able to use itunes so he used my computer, however all my apps and music synced to his device, I managed to sort it out but when I plugged my ipod in I lost all my music and ended up with just his music.

What I'm trying to say is do I need itunes on another computer to prevent all our stuff getting mixed up all the time or is there a way for me to use both ipods individually on one itunes?

Is your iTunes currently signed into his account instead of yours?

I'm just making a guesses and this does not solve your immediate problem, maybe create a user account on your Mac for him, so when he logs into his computer user accuont, he can then login to his own iTunes account and all your own stuff will be left alone within yours.

No. See:

How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer

If you use the same iTunes account, you can do it just by ensiring that the devices have different names. Then just go to the various panes (Apps, music etc.) and check the boxes so that only selected items sync to the iPod.
