Can multiple libraries be sync to the same iPod?

As I start upload songs to iTunes library, quite quickly it has increased to 4 GB with the library big enough to use the side scroll bar. I guess we can have multiple libraries in iTunes in the same computer. But can multiple libraries be sync to the same iPod? i.e. Can I see more than one library in the ipod?
I find it uneasy to see too many entries in the library all the time. There is no way to make it invisible, hence this question.

If you want to connect and use an iPod with more than one library (or more than one computer) you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different. You can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod
Syncing Music to iPod
Using multiple iTunes libraries -Mac
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

    How can a digital copy be used in a household with multiple apple ids, synced on the same computer?  I want to put a digital copy on my device, and on my wife's device.
    Please help.

    you're welcome.
    actually, unless you take an extra step, the first opened swf will close.  if you want the 2nd to close, the initial receiving lc will send a message to sender that causes the sender to close.

  • Siebel Remote - Can multiple disconnected users be on the same laptop?

    Has any open come across the following requirement? I have a customer that is interested in 'sharing' laptops with multiple offline users with the ability to sync. Can we have multiple disconnected users on the same laptop? If so what would be the options? The challenge is how to manage multiple extracts on one MWC installation. I suspect that 'OOTB', we only support one extract per machine/installation of the MWC. We may be able to support multiples, but it would take some config/customization.

    Please don't post the same question in different forums

  • Can I stream and sync from the same itunes library to one AppleTV?

    Can I stream and sync from the same itunes library to one AppleTV?

    From what I can tell this is a bug.
    A very Frustrating bug. When the take 2 update launched I was streaming movies via "shared movies" from my synched computer without any issues. However after a couple of recent iTunes updates all the "shared" menus stopped appearing and I can no longer stream anything from my main computer.
    When I open up my macbook though everything streams fine, all the "shared" menus immediately appear.
    Numerous restarts, factory resets and reinstalling the 2.0 software have done nothing to help this issue.
    If anyone has any more light on the subject it'd be great to hear. Also I'm not sure which update broke it because I went about a month not using the apple tv.

  • How can multiple apple Id's share the same iTunes library?

    We are now starting to venture into teenagers and ore-teens. I would like to create multiple ID's for messaging and contacts, but I still want to use the same library... Is that an option?

    Yes they have different sign ins for iCloud, FaceTime, Messages and iTunes, you can all use the same ID to sign into iTunes but use different ones for the others.

  • Can multiple LabVIEW programs simultaneously access the same NI-DAQmx hardware?

    I am developing a test station system that, in essence, runs several
    seperate LabVIEW programs simultaneously on the same computer, each
    controlling a different set of I/O channels on one shared set of NI
    DAQ hardware (analog and digital I/O PCI boards with external signal
    conditioning).
    I have already gotten a system like this running almost flawlessly
    using LabVIEW 6.1, NI-DAQmx 7.1 with traditional channels, and older
    E-series DAQ hardware. So long as two programs do not try to write to
    the same output channel simultaneously, everything works exactly as
    expected--I can even read from the same (named) channel simultaneously
    from more than one program. The only issue I have had is that if
    one
    of the compiled applications is closed (not just stopped, but closed)
    while others are still running, Windows XP (SP1) will bluescreen on a
    driver error. This is undesireable, but acceptable (though if there's
    a fix/workaround, I'd love to hear it).
    I am now building a similar system using mostly the same software
    (with an upgrade to LabVIEW 7.1), and I've noticed that the new
    M-series DAQ hardware seems to offer much more bang for the buck than
    old E-series hardware and its kin.
    My question is this: It appears that I/O on M-series hardware must be
    performed with new mx channels, with traditional channels not being an
    option. I am therefore wondering if I will be able to do this kind of
    multiple simultaneous access with mx channels, or if I must purchase
    the classic hardware and use traditional channels for this somewhat
    unorthodox application.
    (Incidentally, the multiple simultaneous program thing is a
    requirement for this system, as it is the only clean way to run
    multiple
    identical copies of the same complete program that only
    operate on different I/O channels, and re-doing the program from
    scratch is not an option.)

    Dear Anonymous,
    Thank you for contacting National Instruments.
    To address your question, I don't know if multiple simultaneous access with mx channels is possible, but I do not see why it wouldn't be. The best way to find out would be to test it. I don't have your program or hardware, so I'm pointing you to some Compatibility VIs. These are VIs that look exactly like Traditional DAQ VIs except that underneath they call the DAQmx driver instead of the Traditional DAQ driver. If your device works when you substitute these Compatibility VIs in for the Traditional DAQ VIs, then you'll know the M Series boards will work for you.
    Here is the link for information about the Compatibility VIs:

    Let me know if you have any further questions or if this does not resolve your issue.
    Thanks again and have a great day!

  • Can 2 iPhones be synced to the same computer?

    I have had an iPhone 3G for the past 2 years, and just bought an iPhone4.
    Can I give the 3G to my wife and sync both iPhones to the same iTunes library on ONE computer? Or need she sync to her own iTunes library on her laptop?
    We have the same Contacts and Calendar etc on our laptops (through MobileMe), and I would love it if both iPhones behaves identical, i.e. that they had the same content (including the Apps that I downloaded/bought). Is this possible?
    Thanks for any pointers/help/suggestions. Cheers, Veit

    Thanks for the clarification and sorry for the follow-up question: I assume that the iTunes account needs to be on ONE and the SAME computer, or can the same iTunes account reside on TWO separate laptops?
    (Just curious, is there a paper that introduces the grand concepts of iTunes without going too much into detail? E.g. that many devices can be synced to one iTunes account; that one iPhone can ONLY be synced to ONE account; etc. etc.)

  • Can't charge and sync at the same time?

    I just bought my iPad 2, and noticed that I can't charge it and sync it at the same time like I can with the iPhone 4. I can if I have it plugged directly into my MacBook, but I use 2 different USB Hubs, and I have the iPad plugged into a hub. Is there a fix for this?
    The iPad is running iOS 4.3.
    The MacBook is running Mac OS 10.6.6

    I have a Griffin PowerDock, and having upgraded the software on my iPhone 3GS to IOS 5.1, I am able to charge and wirelessly synchronise simultaneously.
    I am hoping it will be the same for the iPad that I am planning on buying soon, although this will have to be a wall charge because of the extra power needed by the iPad.
    The fact that IOS 5.0 allows wireless synchronisation will probably stop any further development in this area by Belkin and Griffin.

  • Can Atv1 and Atv2 sync with the same itunes library?

    I have imac running snow leopard.It was working perfectly well wit my Atv1. I decided to buy Atv2 for airplay function. Since I installed Atv2 icannot find my Atv1. What is more after resetting my Atv1 I cannot find it under 'Devices' in Itunes. It connects to the internet and my network. I can login to the itunes shop and download and watch movies etc. But I cannot register it with my itunes library and imac. Atv1 annAtv2 with same itunes library is it possible or is it uncompatible.?

    Quite possible.
    You may need to disconnect the 'connection' and reconnect on AppleTV1 in Settings>Computers.
    If a sync (content in My Music not My Shared Music etc) connection AppleTV will be wiped clean of media in preparation for a new sync library.
    There may be other factors at play (securtiy software, firewalls, corrupt iTunes/other software installation).
    Also worth restarting router, computer, itunes and AppleTV.

  • Can multiple photos be displayed at the same time in  a slideshow?

    Hi folks,
    I don't actually have iPhoto '11, I'd like to get a little info before I go out and get it. I really like photo slide shows to music, it's the thing I love most about my first gen Apple TV. The slide show is awesome, how it displays many photos at once, spins them around, layers them, etc. Is there any way to replicate that behavior with an iPhoto slide show?
    Thanks for your time!
    -Adam vonNieda

    Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
    iMovie, on every Mac sold, as is iDVD.
    Others, in order of price:
    PhotoPresenter $29
    PhotoToMovie $49.95
    PulpMotion $129
    FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
    Final Cut Express $199
    It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs.
    However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Express is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

  • Can I use multiple computers with the same iPod?

    Hello all, I own a desktop computer, and just recently bought my first laptop. I have iTunes already installed and my iPod synced on the desktop. Now I just installed iTunes on the laptop, and want to sync the iPod on the laptop also, so I can have two computers synced with the same iPod. Can that be done? Any info is greatly appeciated, thank you.

    what Niel said is correct.
    however, there might be a (semi) workaround. check this thread for pointers: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11524444#11524444.

  • I have multiple devices backed up to the same computer each with different data. how do i keep them from syncing all data when i back up or transfer stuff from the computer to a device?

    i have multiple devices backed up to the same computer each with different data. how do i keep them from syncing all data when i back up or transfer stuff from the computer to a device? one is an iphone 6 and the others are ipad mini first gens, each ipad has 64gb and the iphone has 128, need to keep the data seperate as they are not all mine

    Itunes content and pics are NOT part of the backup that itunes performs.
    Backing up, updating, and restoring iPad, iPod touch, and iPhone software
    You should transfer any purchases from iphone regularly:  File>Transfer Purchases  , if they fail to be transferred when you sync.
    You buy one and only one download.  It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your purchases.
    You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

  • Can I have multiple iTunes accounts for the same Ipod?

    Can I have multiple iTunes accounts for the same Ipod? What I mean is can I use multiple iTunes accounts through the same iPod for buying stuff?

    I believe you're limited to syncing DRM'd items from 5 different accounts.

  • I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. How can I fix this?

    I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. Can I fix this?

    I'm fairly new to this, but I think it has to do with the way you have the drop downs named. Did you copy one then keep pasting it in each field? If so, that is the problem. You should rename each one with a different number: Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc. I think that might solve the issue.
