2 ipods recognized as one

My two daughters have ipod touch 4s and I have set one up with itunes on our computer(windows Vista) but when I went to set the other one up on the computer

I plugged it in and instead of adding it as another ipod device I clicked the wrong button and now the computer recognizes both ipods as the same one

Can anyone help with this problem. I do not want to wipe everything off if it can be helped. PLEASE HELP

iPod touch, Windows Vista

- Unless you backed up the other iPod after you set it up you will have to start over again. If you have a backup you can restore from that backup. See:

iOS: How to back up

Note that the backup does not included synced media like apps and music.

- An iPod can only sync to one iTunes library/one computer. If you connect it to another computer and sync the iPod is erased and its contents replace with what is in the iTunes library of the second computer.
