Can I use my iPod + iTunes on 2 different computers?

1. Your iPod can only be synched to one Music folder at a time, afaik.

If I understand what you're trying to get at, it could be done if you make your iTunes/Music folder right on the iPod itself (using the iPod as an external hard drive instead of iPod mode) instead of on your computer, then set your iTunes apps on both computers to use that Music folder as their Music folder. The downside of doing it this way is you'd end up with all your files on the iPod twice if you wanted to be able to listen from the iPod as well, effectively cutting the useable space in half.

2. i usually load my iPod with my laptop at home

However, I want to download podcasts while at work onto my laptop with my work computer for use before I get home (after work).

3. You can do a manual synching on iTunes.

I do think that they can be used to multiple computers, but I generally only use mine on this computer. Tommorow, I'll give it a shot of syncing it with one of the other computers in the house. I think as long as your iTunes account is authorized on both computers, it's not an issue.

4. I believe you are correct, Haruka.

But I think you are limited in the number of computers you can authorize on one account. I think I read that a hacker cracked the iPod/iTunes code somewhere today.

5. I think it's seven computers.

6. I'm not sure

When i got my new computer and synced my Ipod, it said i could only authorize (my account) 4 more times(computers) (so it sounds like 5 after the 1st)
