Can I have multiple ipod libraries on one pc

Is it possible to have 3 separate ipod libraries on one pc? How is it done?

You can also use one library and sync each device with a different selection of playlists which might be an easier way to manage things.

Have multiple iTunes libraries on one machine?

Hi,
I want to have multiple iTunes libraries on one machine (with two different hard drives, internal fore mp3s and external for AAC files). One library is composed of mp3s for an iPod, I want the other library to have AAC audio files for burning CDs. I would rather the libraries not be mixed.
I have read the article (#301748) for migrating an iTunes library and am preparing to migrate one of the libraries on to a external hard drive.
I have read about using Libra to maintain two different libraries on one machine. I was wondering if anyone does this and if they have encountered any problems? Is there a better solution?
Thank you,
TPK

It's one thing to want two music libraries on one machine and another to want two music libraries on one user account. For the latter, here's what I've done.
I created folders in my iTunes folder called, say, Main Library Folder and Second Library Folder. (These could be anywhere you find convenient.) I dragged my regular iTunes Library file into the Main Library Folder. Then I opened iTunes and created my second music library. When I finished that, I closed iTunes and dragged the just-created iTunes Library file into the Second Library Folder.
If I want to use my main iTunes library, before opening iTunes I drag an alias (Cmmd-Option-drag) of the iTunes Library file from the Main Library Folder into the iTunes folder. Then, when I open iTunes, iTunes reads my main library file. And of course, it works the same way for the second library.
Of course, you could just shuffle the actual library files into position in the iTunes folder from their holding areas, but I strongly preferred to get myself into the habit of relying on aliases, so I could leave the actual library file alone in their respective folders. You most definitely would not want to accidentally overwrite one of your iTunes Library files.
I'm sure one of the shareware products would do a more elegant job, but this just shows you that it's not a difficult process.
The alternative is to set up separate user accounts to access different libraries on the same machine. This has real benefits and, to me, should be the first option one considers. It's easier on the brain, as it sticks to iTunes' one-user-one-library model, and there's absolutely no risk of getting libraries confused. Fast User Switching on the Mac makes going back and forth between accounts easy. But if you really want to avoid using different accounts, and it's only you that has to keep things straight, the approach of jumping back and forth between different libraries in the same user account should be OK.

HT4436 can I have multiple icloud accounts on one device

can I have multiple icoud accounts on one device (ipad)?

Are you sure only primary account can use Find my iPhone?
I added a secondary account to my daughters iphone and was able to use it for Find my iPhone.
It warns you that the Find my iphone service will be disabled on the other icloud account.
I think this is a good change so I can use a single account to track all the devices.
Looks like only photostream and documents/data are tied to the primary account.

Can I have multiple volume levels in one track?

I have a track composed of audio from a cassette recorder of a now deceased relative's voice.
Since the cassette was turned on and off during recording, the recordings are at different volumes.
I have been able to import the cassette into a GarageBand project, and delete dead space, but now I find that the volume is not consistent.
Any way to remedy that? I am wondering if I need to chop it up and make more than one track, and adjust the volume on each track? Will this work as long as the tracks don't overlap?
And then do I send the finished product to iTunes in order to be able to use it in an iMovie?
Or can I drag it right from GarageBand to iMovie?
Many thanks, I'm a very new GarageBand user.

Mac OS X Mountain Lion supports multitasking like cbs20 mentioned. Just like MS Windows just press alt+tab to switch to whatever applications you have open.
Actually it isn't Alt-Tab on OS X, it's Command-Tab to use the Application Switcher.
Also, Control+ left/right arrow key will switch spaces if that's what's desired.

Can i have 2 ipod touch on one mac

can i have 2 ipod touch on one mac

Sure. You can have as many as you wish and each one can have different sync characteristics. The iTunes keeps track by serial number. However, it's in your best interests to give them unique names so that you can keep track.

Can u have multiple Ipods on one Computer?

I have a iPod and would like to get my husband one but I want to make sure that we can have two ipods connected to the same computer. We use the same computer at home. I have my ipod dock connected now, would I need to add a dock for his or can he use mine? Do I have to change any settings to allow more then one ipod to use the same library?
Thanks

HT204053 can I have multiple icloud accounts for one apple id?

I have multiple people in my family using our original apple id . As they have gotten iphones, macbooks, etc they register there devices under our originale apple id. over the holidays when my youngest child got her ipod touch and registered it for icloud, two of the children now are seeing each others texts? Is there a way to use the same apple id for the family and have seperate icloud accounts for each person or should we have a seperate apple id for each person?

Yes but the issue with receiving each other's text messages is not being caused by sharing the same iCloud account. To fix this, each person needs to be using a separate Apple ID for iMessage on their devices. (Note: you can continue to use the same iTunes account on all your devices but each person should use a different ID for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime). There are a couple of things you need to do to sort all this out.
First decide who will be keeping the current ID for all services. On the device(s) belonging to the other people in your family, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the Apple ID, sign out, then sign back in with a saparate ID for each person. After doing so you will no longer be getting each other's messages on your devices.
Next, to avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
For iCloud, to avoid having merged data by syncing with the same iCloud account you will need to migrate each person to their own iCloud account. To do this, first decide who will be keeping the current account. On the other devices go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from the device, not from iCloud. The device(s) that will be keeping the current account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My [iDevice]. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID on the device(s) belonging to each person. Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, to un-merge the data in your iCloud accounts you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting the other person's contacts from your account, and vice versa).

Can I have multiple stream types in one object?

For my final project in my data commucnications class I'm writing a client/server socket application that will allow multiple clients to play TicTacToe simultaneously against the game on the server. The teacher is a C/C++ jock, and knows very little Java. We're free to choose any language that will do sockets, and I love Java and don't love C++.
I've built the GUI, and got it to the point that I can reliably connect multiple clients on different machines in the school lab to the Server object, which accepts the new sockets and creates a new thread of ServerGame to do the playing in response to the client's moves. A mousePressed() detects clicks in the grid, and modifies a string to contain the status of the game. I've used a BufferedReader and PrintWriter combination on both sides, to send the GameString back and forth, starting with "---------", then the client makes a move and it changes to "X--------" and the PrintWriter sends it over and the ServerGame makes a move to "X---O----" and send it back, etc, etc. You get the idea. I have a ways to go with the implementation of strategy stuff for the ServerGame's moves, but I like it so far. But now I realize it would be really cool to add to it.
What I want to do, since there can be multiple players, is have a way that it can be like a TicTacToe club. At any one time, it would be nice to be able to know who else is playing and what their won/loss record is. I plan a Player object, with String name, int wins, losses, ties, gets and sets. With Textfields and a Sign In button I should be able to send the Player name to the Server, which can look up the name in a Vector of Player objects , find the one that matches, and sends the Player object for that name over to the Client, and also provide it to the ServerGame. Each player's won/loss record will be updated as the play continues, and the record will be "stored" in the Server's vector when he "logs off". Updates shouldn't be too hard to manage.
So, with that as the description, here's the question -- most streams don't handle Objects. I see that ObjectInputStream and ObjectOutputStream do. So -- am I headed for trouble in using multiple stream objects in an application? I suppose I could just use the object streams and let them send out a serialized String. In other words, I want to add this to my program, but I don't want to lose too much time finding out for myself if it works one way or the other. I already have working code for the String. Without giving too much away, can anyone give me some general guidance here?

Anyway, here's the present roadblock that's eating into the time I have left. I've spent many happy hours looking for what I'm missing here, and I'm stumped, real-time.
I found it was no problem to just send everything over and back with ObjectInputStream and ObjectOutputStream. From the client I send a String with the state of the game, and can break it down and code for decisions in the server as to a response and send the new String back to the client. I now have a Player class with Strings name and password, ints wins, losses, ties. I have a sign-in in the client GUI and old "members" of the club are welcomed and matched with their Player object stored in a Vector, and new members are welcomed and added to the Vector. My idea is to make the Vector static so the clients can have access to the Vector through their individual threads of the Game in the server. That way I should be able to make it so that any one player can have in his client window a TextArea listing who's playing right now, with their won-loss record, and have it updated, real-time.
The problem is that in my test-program for the concept, I can get a Player object to go back and forth, I can make changes in it and send it back and have it display properly at either end after a change. What I'm aiming at in the end is the ability to pass a copy of the Vector object from the server to the client, for updating the status of everyone else playing, and when there's a win or loss in an individual client, it should be able to tell its own server thread and through that update the Vector for all to access. Sounds OK to me, but what's happening is that the Vector that goes into the pipe at the server is not the same as the Vector that comes out the pipe into the client. I've tried all the tricks I can think of using console System.out.println()'s, and it's really weird.
I build a dummy Vector in the constructor with 4 Players. I can send a message to the server that removes elementAt(0), and tell it to list the contents of the Vector there, and sure enough the first element is gone, and the console shows a printout of the contents of all the remaining Player objects and their members. But when I writeObject() back to the client, the whole Vector arrives at the client end. Even after I've removed all the Player elements one by one, I receive the full original Vector in the client. I put it into a local Vector cast from the readObject() method. I believe that should live only as long as the method. I even tried putting clear() at the end of the method, so there wouldn't be anything lingering the next time I call the method that gets the Vector from the server.
What seems the biggest clue is that now I've set up another method and a button for it, that gets the elementAt(0) from the server Vector, changes the name and sends it back. Again, after the regular call to get the Vector sent over, it shows in the server console that one element has been removed. And one by one the element sent over from (0) is the one that was bumped down to fill the space from removeElementAt(). But in the client, the console shows 4 objects in the Vector, and one by one, starting at (0), the Player whose name was changed fills in right up to the top of the Vector.
So something is persisting, and I just can't find it.
The code is hundres of lines, so I hesitate to send it in here. I just hope this somewhat lengthy description tips off someone who might know where to look.
Thanks a lot

Can I have multiple Apple IDs on one email address?

How do I register for and Apple ID for my husband's ipad when I am using the family email for my own Apple ID?

An email account can only have one Inbox, and each email account can only be on one iTunes account. I don't use Virgin Media, but some providers allow you to have sub accounts under the main account, or can you create a second Virgin Media account to use on a second iTunes accout ? You can also create free email accound via, for example, http://hotmail.com and http://gmail.com
But you can use the same iTunes account on more than iPad - all content that you buy/download from the iTunes store is tied to the iTunes account that downloads it, so if you want to have the same apps, music, films etc on both then continuing to have just the one account may be preferable.

Can you have two "ipod" functions on one phone?

I listen to self help audio (John Maxwell/Zig Ziglar type stuff) and sometimes I'd like to hop over to regular music and then be able to come back to my audio content without having to start over. Is there any way to have two ipod functions on the same phone? Any settings or apps from the app store that might let me have two ipod functions run on the same phone?

Try to tag the self help audio in iTunes as an Audiobook instead. Then sync it as an audiobook.
Audiobooks in the iPod player can remember last position so you don't have to start over.
