Installing second copy of iTunes

I bought my wife a Nano a while back and all is well. we have upgraded to iTunes 6.
I now have a Nano but we have massively different music tastes. Wading through the library everytime we both want different music is a real pain!
Is there a away of creating a second seperate library?
Do I have to instal iTunes again for me?
I have tried to instal again but it wont let me as the installer notes the current copy on my harddrive.
Any suggestions

  • Installing Second Copy of Lion on VM

    I just purchased a Mac mini with Lion installed and I can't seem to simply download a second copy from the App Store.  I'd like to take advantage of the new OS license terms and install a second copy of Lion in a VM to serve as a test bed for my software development work.  Does anybody know how I can get a free second copy of Lion to install on my VM?

  • Installing second copy issue: Mac

    I am trying to install a second copy of Photoshop CS6 on my new Mac. The first copy is also on a Mac and was a CS6 migration from Windows. Hence I have no earlier version on either machine. On the new Mac, when I enter the serial number, I am faced with the error window: Serial Number Upgrade, "Serial Number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer". The drop down 'qualifying product' selection does not include CS6 (presumably because the download is an upgrade). Following Adobe instructions for second installations, I downloaded the product from http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html. Is there another page for full product downloads? Or how am I supposed to proceed?

    It appears to be indicating that you are in possession of an upgrade version.  The drop down is seeking your selection of the version you owned prior to CS6 from which it was an upgrade.  Did you own a previous version?  If so, you need to provide its serial number to prove eligibility for the upgrade installation.

  • How to install second copy (different serial #) on desktop

    I have aperture 2 with same serial number installed on both my laptop and desktop on our network. Only one copy can be worked on at the same time so I bought a new copy so my husband and I can work on images at the same time. How do I install a new copy with a different serial number on the desktop and have the images on the old copy transferred onto the new copy? Will the new copy delete the old or will I now have 2 apertures on the desktop? I don't want to lose any of the images and only want the new copy with a different serial number on the desktop.
    thanks

    You've got a couple options and I ran into a similar issue when installing and running a demo for Aperture 2 while not wanting to replacing my purchased copy of 1.5 until I purchase version 2.
    Firstly, why don't you just install one version to each computer? You can have multiple Aperture Libraries on a single computer if you really want to keep your photos completely separate from your husbands but then you can just have separate project folders within the same libraries. You can add metadata to your images when you import them so attaching your name to the images at that time will maintain who shot what. This way makes updating the software much easier and hassle free. Which is not the case when running two copies of the same program on the same hardware.
    Another option if you must install more than one copy of Aperture to each computer is to rename the currently installed version of Aperture and then install the new one. This gives you two copies of the same program but you'll run into problems when the next update is released. The renamed version will not be recognized by Software Update because it'll be looking for the version simply called, "Aperture" in the applications library. There is a fairly simple workaround for this though.
    Instead of renaming the original install, move it into a new location or subfolder in the Applications folder. Then install the new copy and when an update is released it will be taken care of for the copy installed directly in the Applications folder. Once that update is complete, switch the two so that the other copy is now in the Applications folder and the updated one is in the sub-folder. Run Software Update again and it should run the update to the other copy without a problem.
    I would recommend installing just one copy to each computer with the separate serials and just setup your own libraries onto each computer. Through a network you can share libraries between the two systems and you wont run into any problems with running the software or updating it.
    I hope this helps you out with your problem.

  • Upgrade to 7.1 -- iTunes.exe installed as second copy of iTunesSetup?

    Similar question to the ones posted below. I have successfully downloaded and run the 7.1 "iTunesSetup.exe" application, but cannot seem to get the music-player application to launch.
    My problem is not that I can't locate the new "iTunes.exe" application -- I can find it easily (it was installed to the same folder as the Setup application). The problem is that every time I double-click on the "iTunes.exe" file, the Setup application launches. I also note that if I right-click on this file and select "Properties", although the file name is listed as "iTunes.exe", the Description is listed as "iTunes Installer".
    So, I think the problem is that Apple has simply mis-named the iTunes.exe file, and that this file is actually an incorrectly-named, second copy of the Setup application, rather than the music-player application. No idea how to fix this, other than hope that Apple wakes up to the problem and gets the correct file into the download.
    Does anyone know if Apple monitors these posts?
    PC   Windows XP  

    Fixed my own problem. I noticed that I still had the Installers to a few of the older versions of iTunes (7.0, and 7.0.2) in various directories. I manually deleted all Installers (including the new one I had just downloaded for 7.1), and deleted the incorrectly-named "iTunes.exe" file. I then re-downloaded the Installer for 7.1. Ran it, and it installed what seems to be the correct application file for iTunes.exe, which now launches and seems to be running as it should.

  • When I try to open Itunes I get this error msg, 'This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please re install iTunes (-42404), I have tried repairing

    When I try to open Itunes I get this error msg, 'This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please re install iTunes (-42404), I have tried repairing, no joy, uninstalling and re installing, no joy. Any ideas?
    <Subject Edited by Host>

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • I was today invited to upgrade my iTunes when I logged on.  Update failed. Every time I now try to open iTunes I get error messages.  Second message reads "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7. Windows error 126"

    I was today invited to upgrade my iTunes when I logged on.  Update failed. Every time I now try to open iTunes I get error messages.  Second message reads "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7. Windows error 126". I now can't sync my iPhoneand I am worried that if I re-install I will lose all my contacts,calendar, notes, etc.

    I too had this problems (Windows 8.1).  A few weeks ago after the previous update before this version of itunes, I'd had a problem with the itunes store crashing and at that time I followed instructions to copy QTMovieWin.dll to the itunes folder, which fixed the store crashing.
    Today I fixed the problem by:
    Delete QTMovieWin.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
    Uninstall ALL Apple Software using Control Panel / Programs and Features.  I uninstalled:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Apple Application Support
    Apple Software Update
    Bonjour
    Delete the folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple
    Restart the computer
    Reinstall QuickTime
    Reinstall iTunes
    Everything works GREAT now, including the iTunes store.  You will not lose your media files, I got everything back, all my settings, playlists, etc.

  • Hello, I have a G5 PPC. I want to install a copy of Entourage on the second hard drive. Can I do that or will it create problems for the processor?

    Hi everyone
    I had a very old intel iMac from late 2006 which was dying now dead. I just managed to copy the Entourage folder onto an external hard drive before the iMac gave up the ghost. But I could not open the Entourage copy on the G5 PPC. each time i tried to do so the PPC copy of Entourage would open instead.I have emails on the PPC copy and do not want to lose them. I was wondering if it would be possible to install another copy of Entourage on the second hard drive? I was hoping that by doing that I could access the information from the iMac which has been copied to an external hard drive.
    Any help would be very very welcome.

    I don't think MS lets you install Entourage outside of an active system folder. However, you can install a fresh copy of Entourage on the G5's hard drive (if you have Office 2008 or lower), then use Entrouge's Import command to move the data files from the old hard drive.
    We're done this several times as we've upgraded either computers or Entourage.
    However, I think that, before you act, you should also ask in Microsoft's user forums here:
    Office for Mac forums
    They are excellent and often an employee of their Macintosh unit will assist in answering.

  • This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. (-42037) i have tried but it won't let me

    This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. (-42037) this is the error message i get when trying to open itunes. it wont let me download another version

    First uninstall your copy of Itunes--http://www.tekrevue.com/tip/uninstall-itunes/  (make sure you empty crash)  Then you go to the applications website and reinstall it.  Dont worry about losing any of your music because thats in a separate folder.   Thats it---it works.

    I have a windows 7 64x SP1.
    Every time I install iTunes 12 I get this message when I try to open it:"This copy of iTunes is damaged and it has not been correctly installed. Please, install iTunes again.(-42404)".
    The instalation process runs smoothly without any error message and iTunes has been installed in my computer before. The problem started with the update no. 12. Any idea what's going on? Thank you

    if itunes will not run, you probably have mangled windows badly
    one feature of windows 8 is the refresh that saves libraries,
    because you are using windows 7, you will need to backup all files to another storage device

    Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
    Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    Can you launch your iTunes now?
