Can I have two address books on one computer

Hi,
I have my standard address book I use and love. I am an artist and forever having to make slide labels. I have used many programs and databases to do this task. To my surprise address book would accomplish this amazing well. I just don't want to combine my art label information with my address stuff? So can I have two address files on one mac?

CC,
you can add a new user account on your Mac (open system preferences / accounts) and start fresh there with an empty AddressBook.
If you want to fill this with a part of your original AB, select those and export as vCards. Drop this export file in your shared folder so you can access that from the new user account. Open AB ther and import the vCards

Is it possible to have two address books on one computer?

I would like to create two address books on my computer. One for my wife and one for me. Therefore we can each sync our iphones to address books.

You can do that by have two separate user accounts on the computer - one for you and one for your wife. This also lets you each have separate Apple IDs so that your iPhone data are separately synced.
Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library
Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data. Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.

Can you have two address books on one icloud account?

My wife and I want separate contact lists. Is there any way to do this with 1 ICloud account?
Thanks,

No, you need separate iCloud accounts. If you want to maintain separate Address Books you and your wife should have separate user accounts on your Mac anyway.
You can setup separate Address Book groups within a Address Book in a single Mac user account.

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 I have two Address Books?

I have used a distribution list in Outlook for years to send a email to about 125 members of a professional organization. Now both MSN and Gmail say that I can't send this number of emails, as it might be SPAM.
So, I'm trying to get away from Outlook since I use Apple Mail now. I plan to import this list into a group in my Address Book but hate to have to manage these contacts along with all my other contacts.
Is there a way to have two contact lists, or two Address Books? I know the problem will probably still be there and I'll have to break the list down into several smaller groups to make this work (thanks SPAMMers!). But I don't trust Outlook since I've installed in on my MBP and want to do this group email using Mail.
Importing the list will take some careful planning of the text file to import from. Too bad you can't import from an Excel spreadsheet.
I know there are multiple subjects here. Any suggestions??

Thanks for the responses to this query. I was afraid that only one Address Book was allowed per user.
Guess I have no good option other than to put these contact into my Address Book and put them in a group. Probably will need to put them into several groups as it looks like most of the email programs now will not allow sending email to groups as large as this one (close to 150 contact names).
Seems like there should be a way to get around this restriction, but no being able to find help from these email groups, makes it difficult. There was a time when you could contact support people at msn.com or at some of the other commercial email providers. Not today.
I'll do a CVS import as suggested and go from there.

Can you have two iTunes accounts on one computer?

Just bought a MacBook Air which I'm sharing with my husband. Is it possible to have two active iTunes accounts on one computer? We both have very different tastes in music and we have our own iPhones that we'd like to update differently. Would be great to have the option to separate our accounts.

Yes you can... and it's not that hard

Can you have two iTunes programs on one computer??

Both me and my sister have ipods but mine is a nano and hers is a mini, we both have different tastes in music as well. Is it possible to have two different iTunes programs on my computer? Help

Hello Karen,
There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Have a look at the article linked below. Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Method two is to set your preferences so each iPod is updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look anyway and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer

Can i have two separate ipods on one computer?

My husband has an ipod shuffle and I do too. His computer is fried - can I download his tunes off his ipod onto my computer and keep them separate?

Hello, cinruss.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Multiple users can authorize the same computer. However, the media libraries will be combined. The best option may be to create a new user account on the computer specific to him. The articles below will help you with this process.
