Computer Question

[Adam Smith]

I have iTunes installed on the Admin account on Windows XP, and an iPod Nano that appears to work fully and properly with that program. How do I get another iPod (Shuffle) to work on the same computer? Apple's help tells me that I should install iTunes for each user, which makes sense, but the XP guide I have says that programs installed on a limited account probably won't work right, and I don't recall being given a choice of where to install in the first place. I'm not a very sophisticated user, but any helpful advice would make Dad look like a hero. Thanks.

iTunes should recognise the different devices, I have my iPod Nano, my brothers iPod Mini and my dads 60Gb iPod all running off the same copy of iTunes on my Windows laptop.

Use Winamp with the ml_ipod plugin.

Now I'm really confused.

The iPod Nano continues to work just fine.

The iPod Shuffle does not show up on either My Computer or the Device Manager on my home computer, much less in iTunes.

Tried a couple different USB ports on my home computer. The Shuffle still doesn't show up.

Took the Shuffle to the Apple Store. Shows up in both My Computer and iTunes for them. Everything looks fine.

Took the Shuffle to work today. Shows up in both My Computer and Device Manager on my work machine.

I've worked my way through most of the troubleshooting on Apple's website. Nothing helps.

Anything I should try or change with Windows or Norton Security?
Should I reinstall iTunes and try again?
Trade the Shuffle in on another Nano and hope it works?
Any other good ideas?

Reinstalling is never a bad idea.

OR, use the Winamp with the ml_ipod plugin.
