Problems with multiple itunes accounts on the same computer

Does anyone have issues with this? My husband and I have seperate iTunes accounts, and eventhough I am logged in under my username, his music is loading and mine is gone...
Also, his iPad apps are syncing to my iTunes account - this happened just last night when I plugged my iPod in and was rearranging my playlists and his apps were syncing at the same time.

Well, I usually think of an 'iTunes account' as being an account at the iTunes Store...  I take it you have different iTunes collections with separate library files for each of you.
It sounds like you have different user accounts on the computer.  Figuring out what is going on will require us knowing a lot more about how you have your iTunes libraries set up.  Do you also have a shared area or do you keep totally separate accounts?  Are you positive you were't really in his account when this was happening?

  • Multiple iTunes Accounts on the Same Computer

    iTunes states that you can have multiple iTunes accounts on the same computer. But when I attempt to put in a new user account (for my wife so she can have her own music library) my own iTunes account pops up when I go to load iTunes while in her user account. And if I create any account that is NOT an 'Admistrator' account iTunes refuses to install itself as the "user does not have the privileges - consult your Administrator". So I am lost as to what I need to do to create separate iTunes accounts where each person has their own iTunes library and thus their own music. Perplexed...

  • HT3819 Will home sharing work with 2 itunes accounts on the same computer?

    My husband and I share a laptop.  Can we use Home Sharing to share music with each other? I have an account for each of us on iCloud and the computer has us each set up as users. 

    No, home sharing will not work for two different users on the same computer on a Windows based system as it requires iTunes running.  It is not possible in Windows for both users to be running iTunes at the same time.
    Instead, simply use the File > Add Files/Folder option in iTunes to add the content you want to your iTunesLibrary.  Do the same for your husbands iTunesLibrary under his user.

  • Purchased music from multiple itunes accounts on the same computer

    I mistakenly opened up two itune accounts and have purchased music using both accounts. The problem is that itunes won't let me download my purchased music from one of the accounts to my ipod. It will download all of the music from account "a" but none from account "b". Help please.

    Hey chawk32,
    Just play the purchased content from account B in iTunes. That should make a authorization dialog box pop up. After authorizing the computer iTunes can transfer that data to the iPod.
    You can also click store inside iTunes then authorize computer.

  • How can I have two devices with separate iTunes accounts on the same computer without sharing libraries?

    I have an iPhone 3s and my sister has an iPhone 3.  We use them only as iPods.  We each have our own iTunes account, but we have to share a computer.  How can we both syn our devices without sharing our music and app libraries?

    The most reliable way would be to set up individual user accounts in WIndows. Then each of your iTunes libraries will be completely separate.
    Regards.

  • Its says my phone has synced with another iTunes account on the same computer? I Want my garage band songs to go from my phone back to my laptop but they won't

    So my Mac got wiped, obviously all my iTunes bought songs and stuff are rested but in lost most of my Garage band Productions, now the ones that had luckily gone to my phone won't transfer to ituens?

    No, it is just saying it is a different iTunes library. If your computer was wiped then the original one is gone and the phone does not recognize the library there.
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss.  To use a device with a wiped or new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.  Your Garageband creations are obviously not iTunes Store purchases and should be restored from the backup you make for just this kind of situation.

    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • Problems with multiple TestStand versions on the same computer

    I installed LabVIEW 2014 and TestStand 2014; then later I installed TestStand 2010 SP1 and have been using it since.  (I also updated LabVIEW 2014 to 14.0f1; I think I did that after installing TestStand 2010 SP1.)  Is this "legal?"  I have been seeing strange behavior with TestStand 2010 SP1:
    - if I type in any expression text boxes in the Sequence Editor (e.g., for a pre-expression), I periodically get an error dialog as I type:
     "The .NET support dll could not be loaded.  This is caused by an assembly path that could not be resolved.  Error Code: -18700, The .NET support dll could not be loaded.  This is caused by an assembly path that could not be resolved! Source: 'TSAPI'
    After I acknowledging the dialog, I can contine to type a little more before getting the dialog again, but it doesn't seem to invalidate anything I type.
    - If I open the Simple LabVIEW Simple User Interface that ships with TestStand 2014 while TestStand 2010 SP1 is active, LabVIEW immediately crashes.  I can open all the subVIs without a problem, but the top-level VI always crashes LabVIEW.
    So I used the TestStand Version Switcher to make TestStand 2014 active, opened the top-level Simple UI VI, and deleted all the UI controls.  Then I switched back to TestStand 2010 SP1, and then I was able to open the top-level VI.  I added back the TestStand UI controls to the VI, and now the VI runs.  But many operations return a TestStand error dialog, such as Close Execution ("Value invalid or out of range [Error Code: -17300]"), Logout ("Cannot find item to select in ComboBox [Error Code: -2147467259]"), and (critically) Exit ("Operation Failed.  Error Code: -17500]") and the X in the upper right corner of the window ("Operation Failed.  Unknown System Error in <VI name>").  So I can't exit without killing LabVIEW.
    These two issues may be unrelated.  But maybe installing an older version of TS after installing a newer version is not a valid use case?  Is the ActiveX error a result of this?  Should it be possible to use a (simple) UI written for a newer version of TestStand be able to work with an older version of TestStand?
    I have another issue that is probably unrelated, but I'll bring it up here just for completeness.  If I right-click on a LV property node or invoke node for a property or method from the TS API and ask for help for the property or method, a command window flashes briefly before showing the TS help window with the top-level item selected (i.e., it doesn't take me to the help for the selected property or method).  I have this problem with either version of TS active, and I saw this problem even before I installed TS 2010 SP1.  I seem to recall having this problem once before, but I can't find the solution.  I don't know if this problem is an indication of some other larger problem.
    For what it's worth, I am running WIndows 8.1 on a virtual machine.

    Thanks for the information, Doug.  Maybe the ActiveX error dialog I get while in the sequence editor is related to the fact that I'm running an unsupported operating system.
    So using a UI that was created in a newer version of TS is not supposed to be able to run with an older version of TS.  Is there any way to enforce this (like having a dialog appear informing you of the incompatibility when the TS engine is loaded) and avoid an immediate crash?  (Maybe the crash has to do with the incomaptible OS as well.)
    Is there a way to "relink" a UI to an older version of TestStand?  Can you just relink all the ActiveX reference controls/constants to the TS ActiveX servers?  As far as I can tell, everything I am trying to do with the new TS version should work with the old version.  And also, as far as I can tell, the TS version switcher changes the version of the available ActiveX server; so unless my UI uses a feature unavailable in older TS versions, I would think it shouldn't know the difference.  (I'm making a lot of assumptions in that last statement, so I may be totally wrong here.)
    Thanks,
    Jeff

  • Can you share music between iTunes accounts on the same computer

    Can you share music between iTunes accounts on the same computer? My kids iPods are under my account now with all of our shared music but they want their own iTunes accounts. I would like to transfer the music and apps that they purchased under my account to their new accounts... Is this posible?

    Make a backup!
    i had music there for over 6 years.
    Well you must have updated iTunes once or twice in that time. Do you have some sort of "tidying" app that is supposed to clean "unnecessary" files. If so perhaps it is too aggressive.

  • Can you have 2 itunes accounts on the same computer?

    can you have 2 itunes account on the same computer?

    Yes, go to your Windows Control Panel and create another user,log into it, run iTunes and it's ready to rock and roll.
    Transfer your content over via USB Key, Dropbox or external drive.
    Heck the best thing would be to File > Backup library to disk with a bunch of DVD-R's, therefore you get a backup in the process!
    Good Luck
