Can i Have Two Libraies on One iTunes?

My dad and I are now owners of iPods, but we have different tastes in music and was wondering whether it is possible to have two different libraries in iTunes so that we can only put our own music on our separate iPods.

You could also use one library and set up your iPods to update songs and playlists manually. Just remember that with manual updates you need to manually eject the iPod each time.

  • Can you have two iPads on one iTunes account?

    Can i add two iPads to one iTunes account and then move one to another iTunes account at a later date?

    I sync three different iDevices with one iTunes account/iTunes library on my Mac. You can select the exact content that you want to sync to each device by customizing the sync settings for each device.
    If you want to sync the iPad with another iTunes account or iTunes library at a later date - you will lose all of the content on the iPad from the old iTunes account. You can only sync with one iTunes library at a time and if you consider the iTunes account to be what is in your iTunes library - meaning content that you bought with one particular Apple ID - then you can only sync one account at a time as stated.
    Perhaps if you defined or explained exactly what you mean by iTunes account, this could be clarified a little more.

  • Can I have two libraries on one iTunes program?

    I have two different iPods - one a nano, one a video - and I'm trying to create a way to install on the video iPod its own separate songs without having it import all the original nano's songs from its library. SO FRUSTRATING.
    Do I really have to import all 400 songs from my nano's library onto the video, and then go from there importing new songs for the video iPod? And why, when I installed the video iPod's iTunes CD, was a new iTunes application not created in order to keep the two different iPods' independent of one another?
    Any assistance would be immensely appreciated.

    First of all there can only be one iTUnes with one library on a user account in windows. There is afew programs that will create 2 librarys but you most likly will not need this.
    You can create 2 user accounts on windows for each iPOd, but thats usually for 2 people using one PC that want there own separate iTUnes and music.
    If both iPods are yours you will most likly want to set one ipod (Most Likly the nano) to "Auto update selected playlist" and select which playlist you want on that nano. to do this connect the nano, rightclick it in iTUnes, hit options and set it. then the video iPOd since its bigger in size you can leave it set on its default of "Auto update all songs".
    Another note just so you know, it is possiable to connect 2 ipods at the same time, but HIGHLY recommened NOT TO DO THIS because it can confuse iTUnes and the ipod service running in the background of windows and cause you and iTUnes major headaches

  • Can I have Two iPods on one iTunes???Help Me!

    Hey There,
    I'm just wondering if I can have 2 ipods on the same iTunes (can i put my library on a friends new ipod?????)
    Help me! Last time i tried something with i tunes i lost my music.
    Thx

    Khiemke,
    Theres two ways to use One computer with 2 iPods and have each iPod have its own music, one is to creat 2 playlist, another is to create 2 user accounts in windows. This is all explained at the link below, personally I think the 2 user accounts in Windows is Best. If you go this route make sure "Fast User Switching" is OFF in windows, iTunes doesn't like this feature on.

  • Can i have two devices sharing one itunes account

    i currently have my iphone synced with my itunes account, i have just bought a ipod and want it to share the same itunes account, library etc, how do i do this without wiping it off my phone when ading the new ipod ??

    This won't be a problem, iTunes will see the new device as a separate device, it will have its own settings under iTunes, you can set it up to sync the same content or different content to the first device, it will have no effect on how the first device syncs with iTunes.

    Yes, you can sync as many devices as you want to the same iTunes account, there is no limit. You can have the same content on each device or different content, the choice is yours. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, including separate backups.

    Yes. iTunes treats each device as a separate unit, and you can have different preferences for each.

  • Can I have two accounts on one imac

    can I have two accounts on one imac

    You have no idea how happy i would be to be proved wrong on this .. there are loads of posts in the discussion forums saying its impossible. If you can point me to where we are going wrong it would be very much appreciated. This is what we have tried ...
    1. Create a 2 iTunes libraries on a single computer login (switching with the ALT key when starting itunes)
    2. Create a new user account on the computer, create an iTunes library on each individual login.
    In each scenario, the same thing happens. We can
    - Start iTunes in the right library
    - Log in to the iTunes store etc with each account.
    The problem comes as soon as you try to download a purchased item, ie if I buy a song on my iPhone then try to down load it from the "purchased items" of iTunes account it was purchased under. iTunes gives a message saying that if i download something bought under iTunes Account 2, iTunes account 1 will be disabled from downloading or auto-download for 90 days as "this computer is already associated with an Apple ID"
    Should probably have put this into the origianl post for clarity, apologies. i didnt really mean "logged in", we can log in to each iTunes account from the different libraries, but we can use the purchasing or download functionality - hopefully this makes more sense.
    If you know how to set this up properly, it would be amazing if you could share it here?
    Many thanks

  • Hi. We have two iphones and one Itunes account. How do back up each one without getting the others contacts

    Hi. We have two iphones and one Itunes account. How do back up each one without getting the others contacts and without syncing each phone to each other?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, providing you with your own contacts, calendars etc, not doing so will result in exactly what you have experienced. The contacts have likely been lost due to the options you have chosen at the login stage on each device.
    Unless you have the missing contacts in a backup file, they won't be recoverable unfortunately. You can add them manually to the contracts that already exist and continue to share the iCloud account if you wish, but I suggest that you each have your own iCloud account.
    Note, you can each have your own iCloud account, but continue to share an iTunes account for purchases of apps, books, music, TV shows etc etc.

  • Can i have two people on my itunes account?

    Can i have two people on my itunes account? Can my son have his own email and password on my itunes credit card account?

    No.
    To be correct, there is no such thing as an iTunes credit card account. There is an iTunes account with credit card info (if you choose to add that info).
    I suggest you create a new account for him. You can use your credit card if you wish (i would NOT recommend that as there is no way to limit purchases).
    You can use your CC to create the account then immediately remove it after creating the account.
    Then give him gift cards to add to his account or give him an iTunes allowance.

  • How can I have 2 devices on one iTunes?

    How can i have 2 devices on one iTunes so that they share the same music but have different apps? Is there a way to do that?

    Each can sync with the same playlists, or different ones, and can have different apps...
    Uncheck the Automatically sync new apps box on the Apps tab after connecting each device and before syncing. Once this box has been unchecked each device should remember the setting and only sync the apps that have already been selected for it, plus any you then decide to manually add to the list or purchase on each respective device.
