Using 2 ipods on 1 computer - How do you keep the itunes seperate?

Want to find out how 2 different users can keep their own itunes library on the same computer without having to have each other's music on each ipod.

There are actually three main ways to do what you want. There is the manual update that superman suggests, but that requires you to give up all the convience and features of the automatic updates. Here are two other ways:
For each iPod, go to the prefs and set it to Update only selected playlists. Then you will be given a list of all playlists in iTunes, and you can pick which ones will update to the iPod. This can include smart playlists, so you have a control over what goes on each iPod. If you later make new playlists, just go to the prefs and check them to include them on that iPod. Then, do the same with the other iPod. You can include some of the playlists on both iPods, and have some that are on one iPod and not the other. Your choice.
The third choice is good when the two users have virtually no music in common. What you do is make a separate login account for each user, and have them run iTunes from that account. Any songs that one user puts in their library will never show up in the other iTunes. It's like they were running on two separate computers. Then let each user sync their iPod to their iTunes library, and the two iPods will not even know about each other. Each will have their own library, thier own playlists, and their own music on thier iPod.

  • No longer use this email account but how do you backup the email that is...

    No longer use this email account but how do you backup the email that is in the "example" folder, So that I can delete the account on my mail app?

    Not sure what you mean. Deleting a POP account only deletes the messages stored in the account’s mailboxes, not any messages stored in custom “On My Mac” mailboxes, if that’s what you mean. It’s not that Mail goes after your mail trying to delete as much as it can. It’s just that if a mail account is deleted, then its mailboxes cannot exist anymore...
    That said, instead of deleting the account right away, you can just disable it (i.e. turn OFF Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Enable this account), leave it that way for some time, and delete it only after making sure you didn’t miss anything while the account was disabled.
    BTW, if you back up your data, and the ~/Library/Mail folder in particular, you won’t have to worry about accidentally losing anything as a result of doing something like that...
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

  • How do you update the iTunes software

    how do you download the iTunes version 10.6.3

    You can redirect <Profile>\<AppData>\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup to a folder on another drive using NTFSLink (shell ext., might only work on XP) or Junction (cmd line tool).
    In essence you move the existing folder to a new location, create an empty folder where the old one used to be, then get the operating system to link the two together and silently redirect any file operation on the old location through to the new one.

    Events are organised strictly on date and time, as read by iPhoto from the Exif data in the Photo. You cannot manually sort.
    Create Albums. You can do much more organising with Albums, use Photos from different events, place them as you will. Best of all, Albums use no disk space at all. They simply reference the file on the Hard Disk. So a pic can be 1, 10 or 100 Albums with no wasted disk space whatever.

  • How do you keep the browser heading from showing?

    How do you keep the browser heading from showing in the
    output? I did this once but can't figure out how!
    Thanks in advance,
    Rosie

    You asked...
    quote:
    Is there a way to shrink the application you're capturing so it
    fits within a given capture window rather than requiring scrolling,
    or would I have to go back to the application developers for that?
    (I realize that would shrink the size of everything on the screen,
    but in some cases, that would be worth it to be able to show a
    window without scrolling.
    If, by "shrink" ... you mean by using the AppSizer, the
    answer is "not really". You can configure AppSizer to a defined
    size, then with the mouse pointer double-arrowed on the "edge" of a
    window, right-click and your window-size selections will appear in
    the AppSizer "list" (that you set up) and can be selected there.
    But there is no re-scaling of the window contents, if that is
    what you mean, so the smaller window may now require scrolling.
    But keep in mind that if you use the recording option for
    "Software Simulation" > "Custom Size", you can then snap the
    application window to that size...

  • Lightroom 5 make adjustments want to transfer to photo shop to make additional adjustments. how do you keep the adjustments made in lr5 when photo is transferred to photo shop

    lightroom 5 make adjustments want to transfer to photo shop to make additional adjustments. how do you keep the adjustments made in lightroom 5 when photo is transferred to photo shop
    I am not able to keep the changes made in light room when I transfer to photo shop

    Something you need to understand. Unless you are using the latest version of Photoshop Elements, it's possible that some of the adjustments that you make in Lightroom won't transfer to Elements if you choose the option to open anyway. If you choose the option to edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments then Lightroom will create a TIF or PSD file (depending on your preferences), and that file will include all of the adjustments that you have made using Lightroom. Then you can finish your work in Photoshop Elements.
    The process of transferring an image from Lightroom to Photoshop or Photoshop Elements involves the Camera Raw plug-in. It has to be used to interpret the Lightroom adjustments and apply those adjustments to the image after it has been converted. Files open in Elements or Photoshop or no longer raw images because those programs are incapable of editing raw image data. I don't know if this will help you in this situation. Feel free to ask if you have more questions.

  • How can you keep the highest iphone 4s Video quality the same when exporting it from iMovie.

    How can you keep the highest iphone 4s Video quality the same when exporting it from iMovie.

    InDesign's PDF export engine does not transcode your videos, they are embedded exactly as they were in the original file. The Flash Player runtime which displays video inside PDF files may not show a perfect match to Quicktime etc. because most video playback tools aren't designed for a color-calibrated workflow, but they should be close.
    The playback quality (blocking and aliasing) will be affected if the clip is not playing at 100% (screen pixels != video pixels) and in PDFs with the standard video player widget, that will only ever happen when you use 'floating window' mode. PDF pages have physical dimensions, so viewing them at "100%" does not make them match screen pixels.
    If you don't mind the video clip being smaller than the media annotation in which it's playing, then use my free upgrade to the Acrobat playback widget - VideoPlayerX - which maintains 1:1 pixel scale until the page is zoomed out too far for it to fit. You can install the widget into InDesign so it's used by default when exporting.

  • When burning a playlist to disc, how do you keep the songs in original order?

    When burning a playlist to disc, how do you keep the songs in original order?

    If you are burning an audio CD, they will burn in sequential order as in your playlist.
    If you are burning an MP3 CD or a data CD, they will burn as individual files, and can be sorted any way you like when you view the CD.  For an MP3 CD, the files will be prepended with a sequence number, so if you sort by filename, they will be in the original order.

  • When playing songs in iTunes playlist, How do you keep the next song from jumping to next song? I am working on song list updating other tracks info and then the next song starts and I lose my spot in song list?

    When playing songs in iTunes playlist, How do you keep the next song from jumping to next song? I am working on song list updating other tracks info and then the next song starts and I lose my spot in song list?

    Max OSX 10.6.8, iTunes 11.1
    I had a similar problem: I wanted to synch my playlist to my iphone. I like to have my playlist sorted by genre. But under each genre, albums are not sorted by the track numbers. This is a problem, especially when I am listening to club mixes when the DJ smoothly transitions from 1 track sequentially to the next one. Under the properties of each audio file, the Track Numbers and Disc Numbers are already there.
    My perfect solution was to turn On Sorting - Sort Album under View>Show View Options. Then, select all the songs in that album (Shift click, Cmd click, etc) , and Edit multiple item information (Cmd I). You will see Info-Video-Sorting-Options buttons. Click on Sorting. Then, under Sort Album, Enter the name of the album. Then OK.
    You should now have the playlist sorted by Genre, then each album individually sorted by track numbers. On your playlist you should see, if you scroll right, the column added called "Sort Album".
    Hope this helps.

  • How can you keep the caps lock on and not unlock after each letter?

    How can you keep the caps lock on and not unlock after each letter?

    I'm not aware of an online keyboard that is available and can do this. Most likely it would need to be a function of the app itself (which can and sometimes do add functionlaity to the keyboard).
    Wireless keyboard might handle that, if that's an option for you.
    I work in IT myself, and IMHO the iPad isn't the ideal device for coding or scripting work.

  • I just set up a wireless network using an airport express. How can you change the network name

    How can you change the name of a wireless network set up with an airport express

    Yes, you can. If you use the current AirPort Express, Apple says that you can connect up to 50 devices. Realistically, make that 25-30 or so before the speed really begins to drop.
    Remember that you will have to reset the modem though, before you connect it to the AirPort Express as the modem "remembers" the settings for your computer.

  • How do you keep the same URL connection connected continuously?

    I am trying to extract information from a web page, but it puts a cust_id in the middle of the URL. It generates the cust_id randomly everytime you use the site. I connect to the initial URL to find the cust_id, I substring that to the new URL and then make a new connection to extract the information, but the web page gives me an error saying that it doesn't recognise the cust_id. As if it was a new connection with the wrong cust_id.
    How can I keep the first connection open and with the same cust_id information and then jump to another web page but using the initial connection. Using IE6 I can just cut and paste the second URL and get to the page, but with my java application it doesn?t work. Please have a look at my code and let me know if I am doing anything wrong.

  • How do you fix the itunes R6034 error

    How do you fix the R6034 error with itunes?

    A few more details....
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
