Yeah, it can .Just plug it up and up date it.Then, it will ask you would you want to transfer your music to the one you have plugged up.

The answer may be a little more complex, depending on what your specific circumstances are.
Basically, yes you can use more than one iPod with iTunes.
If you use a Mac, you can connect more than one iPod simultaneously.
However, if you are using iTunes for Windows this is not supported (it may work, but you may experience 'unexpected behaviour').
If you are using Windows you can still use more than one iPod with iTunes: you just need to only have one plugged in at a time.
When you plug an iPod into your Mac or PC, iTunes can be linked to your music library. iPod is synchronised to the contents of that library of music, so if you delete music that you don't want on the first iPod, you won't be able to sync it with the second iPod.
The best way to have different music on different iPods is to either use different user accounts on your computer (therefore different iTunes libraries) or to create specific playlists which you tell each iPod to update from when using one account only.
As always, one of the best places to look first for iPod info is Apple's Support site at www.apple.com/support (click through to iPod + iTunes). Also try the discussion forums there, as well as places like iLounge (www.ilounge.com) and MacRumors forums(http://forums.macrumors.com/forumdisplay.php?f=75).
I hope this is helpful : )

when you plug the shuffle in itunes will detect it and ask to sync it with your existing library. you may be asked to authorize it's use also.i've got 3 ipods linked to 1 library. we just have separate playlists.

yes you could you just have to plug either one on and Itunes will pop up. But the annoying thing is that Itunes will keep trying to put the same songs on both the Ipods. i WOULDN'T BUY iTUNES songs just get them free from limewire download it from www.limewire.com get basic and its excellent quality I would save my money if I were you LOL!

Yes.
You can sync them both to iTunes.
If you want different songs on them that is different.
I don't know what to do if you have a Windows computer but if you have a mac you can download multitunes of of the apple website.
Sorry 'bout that if you have a computer running on windows.

when you plug in your ipod the itunes site asks you to name your device so you can use more than one

yes, of course, you just need to identify each, so that iTunes will sync each ipod with chosen music/videos
