2 different itunes between home and office

Background: I use my Dell laptop for home and office use. I do not log in at home, but i work i log in with a name and password.
While i'm home and using the laptop, i can install and download music, podcasts, etc......
When i'm at work and connected to the server, i get a TOTALLY DIFFERENT itunes program to pop up. It doesnt show anything i've downloaded at home, and vice versa. I've completely deleted iTunes ( or so i think ) and reinstalled while AT HOME, but when i open it while at work, it comes back up with all the previous settings and stuff i thought i deleted when i re-installed the program.
Can anyone advise why i have 2 different itunes ? and how do i deleted EVERYTHING associated with it, so i can try to install one universal program accesible from home and the office.
It ***** if i download stuff at home, and then just want to load it onto the iPod while at work.
Please help with any and all advice.

iTunes places its files in the profile folder of the logged on user. Though you say you do not log in when at home, Windows still recognizes a default user. If there is no password associated with this user, Windows automatically logs you on. The reason you have two different iTunes libraries is a unique library is created for your "work user" and your "home user". It is all the same iTunes, just different libraries. What you need to do is create a shared library that both users can access.
If you do not mind starting from scratch you can create an iTunes library that resides somewhere other than your Windows profile folder. Start by creating a folder directly underneath C: and call it something like "My_iTunes". Next, copy the folder that contains all of your music files to your newly created folder. Now, start iTunes with the Shift key depressed. When prompted, create a new library (browse to the "My iTunes" folder you just created). When the new, blank library is open, you can re-import all of your music into the new library.
When you are using the laptop at the other location, start iTunes with the Shift key depressed, but this time click the button "Choose Library". Browse to the folder you created above and highlight the file "iTunes Library.itl". You will now be using the same library at work and at home.
Post any questions if any of these steps are unclear.

I have two different iTunes accounts - home and work. Need to merge them.

I have a work account and a home account and both have music in them. I am pretty sure they have the same login and password, but they still register as the different content. How do I get them to merge, as all the content is mine.

Locate all the content in the Windows Explorer, move it to the other computer as you would any files, and drag it into the open iTunes application window. Rented movies can't be moved this way.
Each purchase from the iTunes Store other than applications only grants you one download to a computer. Even with applications, you need to redownload it again, which is a separate process from installing and setting up iTunes.

Using laptop on separate home and office wireless networks

I have a laptop the connects (wireless) to my home router and my other home computers. At work we have a wireless router (both home and office are linksys wrt54g's). I can connect to the router at work, get to the internet, but can't "see" the other PCs at work.
Is there a good reference to trouble shoot the various settings for the routers, Windows XP, firewalls, Symantic, McAfee, and so on? I have administration privileges on all the systems and routers, but can't seem to get the settings right. BTW both routers are hardwired to PCs that use the same version of McAfee's security programs - my laptop uses Symantic security programs
Thanks.

If you intend using your portable Mac in a variety of different environments then I recommend you create a series of Locations and then switch between them as required. Keep Automatic for your most used network such as your home or office and then create additional ones for say, wireless networks on the road, an internet connection via your mobile phone and so on.
I am getting confused though, you say
'Actually, even if I boot to the login screen, I will see the G4 appear and can start transferring files, but after 10 -15 minutes, it disappears.'
From what you said earlier in this thread I thought you meant that the G4 laptop would either be visible or not to the other Macs when you join one of your networks not that it is visible for a while then drops off the network. Which is it please?
If it is the latter then check in System Preferences/Energy Saver to see if 'Put the hard disk(s) to sleep ...' is ticked and if it is untick it. You might also want to extend the time for 'Put the computer to sleep ....' to see if that makes a difference.

LaCie 6TB drive ejects when Air sleeps: I use two 6TB LaCie drives - home and office with my Air, which travels with me. Only have a problem with one. Is there a fix?

LaCie 6TB drive ejects when Air sleeps: I use two 6TB LaCie drives - home and office with my Air, which travels with me between the locations. Only have a problem with one that inappropriately ejects when the Air sleeps (and only sometimes). Is there a fix? I've read others who believe that the problem is with the operating system (I'm using 10.9.2). But my problem suggests that it's with one of the LaCie's. Any suggestions about how to fix?

Lacie doesnt make HD, thats a Seagate inside the box.
Is there a fix?
Yes, get a 4TB max HD, 6TB drives are both new and have known issues, ...in fact so do most all 4TB drives.
my problem suggests that it's with one of the LaCie's
You mean Seagate
Large external hard drives are great! Large external hard drives are horrible
It is a common premise that people are overjoyed at the dropping prices per terabyte on external hard drives, and the first thing that enters most peoples minds is "great, I can put all my stuff on one drive,... all of it!" However considerations need to be made in creating a giant single choke point for not mere data loss, but seriously large data loss. If there is at the very least yet another redundant copy, this is fine, otherwise do not consider it whatsoever. Some 3TB and 4TB drives of all mfg. have, at the time of this writing, reliability concerns currently and best recommendation is staying at 2TB drives or less.
Advantages and disadvantages of larger 3TB and 4TB external drives must be weighed

ITunes at home and work

Is it possible to purchase songs through iTunes on 2 different pcs but store them on one ipod?
I have iTunes at home and recently installed it at work. I have managed to upload my ipod library onto iTunes on my work pc however, it won't upload the tracks that I purchased from my home pc. Is there any way around this?
Thanks!

Is it possible to purchase songs through iTunes on 2 different pcs but store them on one ipod?
Yes but as Deb pointed out, you cannot download purchased songs from the store 2 different times.
You simply need to copy your purchased songs from one computer to the other.
Enable the iPod for disk use, copy the purchased music to it and them Add (not import) to the other computer.

Use ipod in two computers, at home and office?

I would like to listen and download songs using both computers, at home and office. Is it possible? How do I do it?

You should format your ipod for your home computer, or whichever machine you're going to want to dump your music onto when you want a cange of pace. You can set your ipod to manual as described above, and that way you will still be able to get files off your computer at work (mac) but will not be able to update ipod software, or take files off the ipod and put them onto the mac. ipod will not "reject" being plugged into a mac once it's been formatted for windows, it just wont be compatible for updates, and if it's configured from the home computer to recieve ANY automatic updates, you may experience problems. There are a couple good third party programs out there, built mainly for recovering itunes library from ipods when a user changes computers, but I wouldnt reccomend using them to maintain identical itunes libraries at home and at the office. You can find what you are looking for by just searching for the action you want the program to perform.

Can I have the same product installed in my two computers (home and office)?

Can I have the same product installed in my two computers (home and office)?

Yes, as long as the two machines both meet the system requirements for whichever software this concerns.

Are they gone completely from the computer, or just no longer in the library? Check your movie media folder.
If your'e in the USA you can download some movies a second time, but not all (studio dependent). You should always back up all media.

Can we have different products between B2B and B2C

Hi Experts,
I have one basic question. Can we maintain the different products between B2B and B2C users. Because we have requirement is B2B users should get all the products, but B2C users should get limited products. Is there way we can setup like this to meet the requirements. Please let me know. Thank you very much in advance.
With Regards,
Sudheer.

You do this by creating two Product Catalogs (PCAT_B2C and PCAT_B2B, for example) Then, in ShopAdmin you assign the B2C site to PCAT_B2C and the B2B to the PCAT_B2B.
Another possibility, although not very user friendly is to use one PCAT and allow B2B users to add items to their cart directly, even thought they're not in the PCAT. The drawback here is that they MUST know the exact number and they can not search for them. I can give more info on this if you feel it might work for you, but it is not a very good option as a general rule.

Select between home and work addresses for Autofill

I've searched and browsed for this and I think I know the answer but I want to check before I submit a feature request to Apple and give up for now:
Can we choose between home and work addresses on our contact card when we have Safari perform autofills?
I think the answer is no, that only the first address listed in our contact card is used.
It would be most useful to be able to select the address used. Many of us have our contacts synced now between home and work computers and some of us are allowed to do occassional home business on work computers, or use our home computers for work.
I experimented with an alternative. I set up two contacts for myself, a home contact and a work contact. They both use my name. I find that in the Contacts app I can select which card is "my card", and that will be used by autofill. But I have to open Contacts to switch "my card" to use that for autofill. It would be more useful if Safari would simply provide a way to switch between home and work contact info on the fly, or at least switch between cards.
Am I missing anything?

Thanks, fruhulda. I do have both my work and home address on my card in
Address Book, and I agree that I should be able to choose which to use to fill in fields on a fax form. My question is how do I do that. I want to send a fax; I want it to feature my home information, but it's the work information that's automatically filling in. How do I change that?

Account "preferences" changing between home and work...

I'm not exactly sure what the issue is, but here goes...
On my MacBook I have only one user account (same as the administrator). At home, I connect to the Internet via Airport.
When I bring my notebook to work, I connect to the Internet via an ethernet connection. I do not have to login or any other maneuever to gain access to the Internet.
Everything works fine generally. One odd behavior I've noticed -- certain of my login items seem to disappear when I'm at work. Specifically, I have several Yahoo Widgets (Konfabulator) on my desktop. Only some launch when I'm at work. Also, it seems that certain changes to my desktop (wallpaper, location of icons, etc) change between home and work.
Any idea what might be causing this behavior? Thanks!

Hi Flojo:
You will need a seperate "screen name" for each Mac in order to video chat. The nice thing is you can get another .Mac screen name by signing up for another .Mac account and and after the free trial, you can keep the .Mac screen name.
OR
Just sign up for a free AIM screen name here: http://www.aim.com/
You don't need a paid .Mac account in order to video chat!
