Backing up 2 apple devices to the same laptop?

Can you back up an iphone and an ipod to the same computer but have different music on each of them?
currently I have my ipod backed up to the laptop but need to back up my phone - if I plug my phone in will it mess it up and lose everything?

No you can't run two back ups unless you have a program that allows you to create multiple desktops

Yes you can. I do the same with my iPod classic & iPhone.

  • Will the photos I take with my IPhone 5s be linked with other devices with the same Apple ID? I have an iPad and an IPhone 5 and a 5s. Will the pictures I take on the 5s be sent to the other apple devices since they both all are linked to the same Apple ID?
  • Will all data share across devices on iPhones with the same Apple ID? My dad recently got an iPhone 4s for his birthday and I currently have an iPhone 6. My iMessages went on to his phone without me putting on any sharing settings. I do not have iCloud or anything like that. I was wondering if any other things will go through on his phone
  • What will happen if i use Kik messenger with 2 devices at the same time? - 1 If I'm already logged into kik messenger through my iPhone, what will happen if I log into kik messenger on my iPad while still logged onto kik through my iPhone? Will it delete my previous messages on my iPhone? Will I still be able to message people back through both devices?
  • Two devices with the same Apple ID? Okay, so my dad FINALLY gave me a ipod, since i'm to 'young' to have a phone. He owns a iPhone and i have the newest version of the iPod Touch. We use the same account and i wanted to know if the apps i download will download to his phone. And if i start using facetime and iMessage, if its going to send it to his phone as well? I added another email address (MINE) for the iMessage and Facetime, would that change anything? please anwser
