My friend and I were sharing headphones the other day and she found she liked a lot of the music i have on my iPod Nano. She gave me her iPod classic earlier to sync to my iTunes that way she had the same music as me, but when I got home and plugged it into my Mac computer, it wouldn't connect. I know the cord works because it's charging, but it won't connect so I can re-sync all music. Help??
iPod classic
Legally, you should not be sharing your music that way. It's a form of music piracy. It's also not smart; if you have songs purchased from the iTunes Store, those songs have your Apple ID and name embedded in the song files. And if you're going to do it anyways, you probably should not be discussing it on Apple's official user discussion forum.
Technically, if you set up syncing between your iTunes library and her iPod, it is erased and becomes associated with your iTunes library. It will no longer sync with her iTunes library, unless she erases the content from your iTunes library, and re-associates the iPod with her iTunes library.
I don't understand what's wrong with that. How would the both of us being synced to the same account be music piracy?
So, it would be OK to have 10 or 100 friends, with iPods synced to the same iTunes library, all using their iPods separately?
Family sharing, in the same household is allowed. "Friends" should buy their own music. 🙂
