Can I create two iTunes accounts on same PC that DON'T sync libraries?

Both of my children want to maintain their separate iTunes music libraries on the same PC. They have separate iTunes accounts, but can they avoid automatically syncing the other's music on their own iPods when they launch iTunes on the PC?

  • Can I create two iTunes accounts on my PC?

    HI,
    i am writing this post on behalf of a friend and would like to know
    How to set up 2 itunes accounts on the same pc.Do they have to share music,photos etc or do they get separate folders for each account.
    They both have ipads but use a windows pc but dont want to share the same music etc.
    I hope this isnt too confusing
    Regards Adrian

    i would say the easiest way to get your library seperated is have seperate user accounts for the computer
    (its the screen where you choose a user after your computer boots up)
    you can create a new account but doing the following
    Windows 7 or vista
    Windows XP
    once you log in to each user account the info will be different (different library,documents,etc) depending on who is logged in

  • How do I create two iTunes accounts under the same email address?

    I've got my account duplicated -and charged for apps I already own- by using my email address as login instead of apple ID, but I've been told it's my fault so…
    I'm trying to figure out
    *How do I do to create two iTunes accounts under the same email and having different IDs?*
    I mean, two accounts with different purchase history. It doesn't matter if billing address, or credit card are the same (or different) because none of them flag apps as "purchased"
    I tried today from iTunes, but it tells me the email is taken.
    Do you know any way a user can do it from our end? (website, iTunes, iPhone)
    If you've got charged by apps twice, please don't say it here. I don't want my post being deleted again. Thanks.

    Beavis2084:
    Expired .mac accounts HAVE NO EMAIL. You own the id (which iTunes requests to be spelled in form of an email)
    Also, FREE .mac accounts have no email either.
    What you see in the screenshots is what I'm saying:
    There's been a change in the way iTunes wants you to login. The iTunes reps see at their end what you see at the top of the window, which probably is the "migration" of the new login: Old login system, using ID (in form of email for iTunes)
    BELOW you clearly see where says "ID" and both have the email as login.
    (again, that .mac email doesn't exist and NEVER DID)
    That's the NEW login: your EMAIL.
    I'm sorry I didn't explain it better the first time. I wrote about this so many times to iTunes support reps to prevent them to "read" what their system says that I gave it for settled. (not to mention that my first post was removed because "it lacks of interest for others"
    I own an apple ID, given away with the purchase of a new computer (nothing small by the way) and when that happens (and never subscribe for a paid membership), you use ANOTHER email to be related to your account.
    Now that AGAIN apple asks you for using your EMAIL (non-apple in our case) instead of your ID (which you can't use or you will never get a notification again!) the system believes there are two accounts.
    It's like your credit card bank changing the address for sending the payments. You are STILL paying, but getting a higher rate because their CHANGED the address and the check never arrives.
    In this case, signing in with a different string, makes the system believe there are two accounts. And that probably is under the policy which probably states purchases are not charged twice for SAME ID, and SAME iPhone… and you used a different ID, so it must be fair (sarcasm). Who told you to do so? Bad boy!

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

    Can you have two itunes accounts on the same computer and if so how do you access them without syncing each others music?

    Yes. Use separate iTunes libraries(launch iTunes with the Shift(Windows) or Option(Mac OS X) key held down as needed), or different user accounts on the computer.

    What do you mean by, "synch two itunes accounts"? You don't sync iTunes accounts.
    WHat are yoru trying to accomplish?
    iTunes account= Used to make iTunes purchases.
    iTunes library = All your media and what you see when you open iTunes.

    I created two iTunes accounts:  one for business purchases and one for personal.  However, when I try to purchase an iBook on my personal account only the business account information appears, and my business password is requested.  How can I select a different account depending on the type of purchase I am making?

    You would have to sign out of the store with that AppleID and sign in with the alternate AppleID.
    Settings -> iTunes & App Stores -> tap the Apple ID showing, logout, then login.
    Beware thought that you can only change a device's AppleID association once every 90 days.

    So if you do this, you will not be able to use the other AppleID on that device for 90 days.

    can i have two itunes accounts on one computer

    Hello Barry
    It is a yes and no answer. Yes you can but you cannot have them in the same iTunes library or one of the accounts cannot be associated for 90 days. You would need to have either a separate user or separate iTunes library to have both Apple ID’s on the same computer.

  • Can we have two iTune accounts on one computer

    Hi everyone,
    Just wanted to know if I can create two iTune accounts on one computer.
    My teen and I right now share one account and the problem gets confusing
    when we both want to use Itune gift cards (it's hard to keep track separately).
    I have a 2nd gen Touch and my teen has a 2nd gen Nano but might be getting the newer nano. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Just wanted to know if I can create two iTune accounts on one computer.
    You can. Log in and out as needed, or create a new Windows XP user account.

  • Can we create two POs for the same 3rd party Sales Order?

    Hi MM experts,
    Issue: Can we create two POs for the same 3rd party Sales Order
    In Third party purchase process, first sales order created with a spl. item category  and it creates the PR automatically with the Sales order material and Qty and this PR converted PO.
    They got a pur.req. for sale order on same item for same delevery date. They did not get any warning msg. saying that a PO was prviously placed against this sale order.
    How it is possible that we were able to place another PO? concern is that second PO was palced against SO which was already used & completed. they were able to place 2 POs for the same customer same delevery date. How it is possible?
    If anyone face the same issue, please let me know if you have any answer to this questions.
    Thanks in advance.
    Suresh.

    Suresh,
    It is hard for me to give you a definitive answer since you have created a customized solution.
    How it is possible that we were able to place another PO? concern is that second PO was palced against SO which was already used & completed. they were able to place 2 POs for the same customer same delevery date. How it is possible?
    Normally, the system will not do this.  A third party PR or PO will be 'account assigned' to the Sales order.  SAP standard 3rd party will not create additional purchase reqs unless there has been manual intervention.  Try searching for changes in the Sales order and changes in the original purchase order.  They may give you a clue.
    I believe the normal Item category for third party SO is TAS (I am working from memory here, I am not in front of a system).  I don't know what ZTAG does.  I confess I am not an SD expert.  You might also want to post your question in an SD forum.
    You mention two custom applications, ZMMPLAN and ZSTPMP.  These somehow have functionality that is used to help you convert your PRs to POs.  If I were in your position, I believe I would also look at these applications for clues to how they might be contributing to your problem.  And please don't send me details about these apps.  I will not comment on custom code in this forum.
    Sorry I can't be of more help.

    how can i buy stuff in US istore with a voucher i just bought.... I am in South africa and can not create a itunes account in the US

    You can't, you can only buy content from your own country's store - to be able to buy from another country's store you need a valid billing address in that country and be in that country when buying from it. You will either need to make do with what is in the South African store (and I know that it hasn't got the same content as in other countries), or for music you could use other music purchase download sites that you have access to (and you can copy your own CDs).

    How can I have two itunes accounts on one computer?

    Not sure what you mean.
    An account is a user name and password.
    Sign into whichever account you want to use for purchasing.
    Authorize the computer for both account to listen to the content.

  • How can I combine two itunes accounts into one?

    How can I combine two itunes accounts into one?

    Items purchased from the iTunes Store are permanently associated with the account from which they were originally purchased.  Apple provides no way to change this.
    However, if you wish to put content from two accounts into a single iTunes library, you can easily do so.  Use the command File > Add File (or Folder) to Library.
