    Can I sync more than one iPhone to the same computer?
    I have one MacBook pro, already have my iPhone synced to it. I want to sync my wife's to it as well so she can share my iTunes library.
    Is this possible?

    Create a new user login (with a password) for your stuff.
    This way, your data won't get mixed up.

  • HT1296 Can you sync more than one iphone to the same computer without having the two combine all information?

    Am I able to sync to iphones to the same computer, but have both phones and information on both stay separate? I do not have a computer at this time and want to sync my phone on my brother's computer for backup purposes. Is this possible?

  • Can i create more than one library on the same computer?

    Can I create more than one library on the same computer?  Just got an ipod for my wife but didn't want her to have to use my library to sync to, so I thought I created another library for her.  When I deleted my albums from her library the disappeared from mine. (I think?)

    I know it's Valentine's Day, but before you get your wife fixed up the first thing you need to do is recover the deleted albums for your own library.  See if the files are elsewhere on your hard drive, or in the Recycle Bin.  When you find them, get them back into your own library.  Now you are ready to help your wife.
    As noted above, you can have two libraries in one Windows user account via the Shift-Start approach, but if you both use your libraries regularly, that becomes annoying quickly.  It is better to set her up with her own Windows user account. She can have her own iTunes library there.
    Get a copy of your entire iTunes folder to start her off.  She can delete stuff she doesn't want without messing you up.

  • More than one library (on the same computer) open?

    In the new iTunes 9 it is possible to access several libraries on my home network from the open iTunes window, which is really cool. I wondered if this means it may now be possible to have access to several libraries on the same computer (or connected drives) at the same time. I use 3 different libraries on my work PC and my mac at home and the process of shutting down iTunes, holding down shift/option, reopening itunes, selecting library is rather cumbersome. Having each of the libraries accessible the same way they are for other libraries on the network would be really useful.
    Is it possible?

  • Can I back up more than one mac to the time machine:

    Can I back up more than one Mac to a time machine? I have a laptop and a Mac Desktop computer can I back up both on the same Time machine

    Absolutely.
    However, quoting from ASC contributor Pondini's excellent Time Machine FAQ:
    It is advisable, though, to partition an external disk that will be connected to your Macs into one volume for each Mac ...

  • How Can I Update More Than One Ipod on the Same Computer?

    I've had my 30G Ipod since April 2006. For Christmas 2006, I bought my sister a 2G Ipod. I cannot figure out how to put songs on her Ipod as we both share the same computer and Itunes Library. I've already asked Ipod Corporate for help via their FAQ section regarding more than one Ipod operating with the same computer, but their advice (which told me to create a playlist small enough for her Ipod and checked as a shared playlist) did not work for me. I'd really appreciate any help with my problem. Owning an Ipod but being unable to listen to it, as I'm sure many people would agree, is quite annoying.

    There are basically two ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
    a) Sharing a single iTunes library and user account.
    b) Creating multiple user accounts and having separate libraries.
    Sharing a Library
    If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish):
    Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
    Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
    iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    However since you seem to have a problem with that method you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
    Separate User Accounts
    Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists

  • Can you backup more than one iphone to the same icloud account?

    My wife and I both have iphones and for simplicity's sake have always used the same itunes account and now with IO5 find that our itunes and icloud accounts are the same.  Before enabling backup for our iphones we wondered if you can backup two different iphones to the same icloud account?  Or will only one of us be able to backup to icloud and the other have to backup locally on our PC?

    You can back both up with the same Apple ID (iCloud account). They will be kept as separate and unique backups.

  • More than one iphone on the same itunes

    New to this so bare with me for the more than likely stupid questions.
    Can two iphones be synced to the same itunes with no problem?
    To do so two different apple id's are needed right?
    What are the pros and cons of doing so other than just having one iphone connected?
    -Only reason I ask is because the sales person told me to be careful when doing so because otherwise the 2nd phone connected to my itunes will be able to see the pictures I take and my messages? How does that work?
    Again bare with me, I'm new to the iphone. (Finally had it with android crashing all the time.)

    You do not want to sync two different iPhones to the same iTunes.  The one exception is when you have an old iPhone and you want to sell it and place your existing content on a new iPhone.
    Each person should use their own iTunes with their own Apple ID.  That will prevent ownership issues with purchased items like songs and apps, as well as photos that you mentioned.
    Here's a reference manual:

    Enjoy your iPhone!

  • Can you have more than one ipod on the same computer?

    me and my sister live together and we would like to be able to have two seperate libraries on the same computer. one library is already there and when the second ipod is plugged in, it comes up as a sub-library that is unacessable.

    There are basically two ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
    a) Sharing a single iTunes library and or user account or
    b) Creating multiple user accounts.
    Note: When you are sharing an iTunes library, you don't have to set each iPod to update in the same manner, you can mix and match from the options below as each iPod has it's own update settings
    Sharing a Library and/or User Account
    If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish):
    Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
    Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
    iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    Or you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
    Loading the iPod shuffle differs slightly but it can still be used with the others, for details have a look at this page: Loading songs onto iPod shuffle - Windows
    It's also possible to have multiple libraries in a single account. To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key (or Shift key in Windows) when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
    Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one. This can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library:
    Using multiple iTunes libraries -Windows
    Separate User Accounts
    Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists
    I don't use Windows so I can't give you a step by step on that one, however I can point you to another web page which should help you out. You can read about Windows user accounts here:

  • Can more than one user on the same computer access an itunes music library

    I want to be able to access the same itunes music library from to different user on the same computer so either one of us when we log on the computer can open up Itunes and access the same songs. Is it possible?

    Yes this is possiable using the "Share" feature in iTunes. You just have to consolidate your library and then move the "iTUnes Music" folder to your share folder. A step by step detailed instructions on how to set this up can be found here. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93195

  • How to get a DDE advise link working on a DDE server with more than one topic on the same service, and with an equal item name?

    When I create a DDE server with serveral topics, all on the same service and with the same item name (different topic), it appears that an advise link does not function properly. It doesn't work at all, it update only when the advise link is terminated or only one of the topics can use an advise link.
    eg.
    On one DDE server I have 2 topics:
    topic1:
    servicename: DDEserver
    topicname : C(1)
    itemnames : P(1), P(2), P(3)
    topic2:
    servicename: DDEserver
    topicname : C(2)
    itemnames : P(1), P(2), P(3)
    Only the topicnames differ!
    Now I can't get an advise link working on one of the items (sometimes on one, but not
    on another).
    Normal (non-advise) links are working fine however.
    (In my case there is no other solution since this DDEserver should be compatible with an older one, created earlier.)

    I really don't know DDE very well. It is usually recommended that you switch to using ActiveX. You may not be correctly configuring the netDDE server. There is an example in the reource library that shows how to do this. You may also want to look at the DDE advise examples that came with LabVIEW 5.1 and earlier.

  • Can I back up more than one iPhone to my MacBook?

    Is it possible to back up two iPhones to iTunes? I want to back up mine(already backed up) and my wife's iPhone onto my Macbook to keep all data in the phone on the computer.

    Sure. If your wife has her own Apple ID, just create another user account for her & use that. If you share an ID for iTunes, just back it up using your account.
