Can there be two itunes librarys on the one computer?

I am giving my PC to my parents and we will share it for a few months until I get myself a laptop. Both my mother and I have ipods and we both have separate itunes libraries. Is it possible to have both the separate libraries on the one computer - I guess under our separate user names and it not interfere with each others library? Will opening itunes under our separate usernames bring up the correct libaray?
Thanks

Yes you can have more than one library. The simplest thing is to have two separate user accounts then things are kept entirely separate:

    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.

    give them distinct names. launch iTunes while holding the option (⌥) key, click on choose library when prompted, and select the iTunes folder of the desired library.
    FWIW, there are 3rd party apps that help with managing multiple libraries, notably:
    PowerTunes
    iTunes Library Manager

    This can happen if the library has been corrupted and rebuilt, in which case you should restore the original library in the manner of Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.
    Alternatively see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. If you have all the media in your library already then backup the device, and immediately restore it.

  • How can I have another Itunes account on the same computer for my wife?

    How can I have another Itunes account on the same computer for my wife?

    In case you didn't fully understand what dallon meant, it means another user account on your computer. You set that up in Windows and then instal iTunes onto that account.
    That way, you each have your own desktop and your own itunes. You can link to the songs in the other person's library as well, but you cannot run both iTunes at the same time. (That simply means you need to close it on the first account before opening it on the second account.)

    can you have 2 itunes account on the same computer?

    Yes, go to your Windows Control Panel and create another user,log into it, run iTunes and it's ready to rock and roll.
    Transfer your content over via USB Key, Dropbox or external drive.
    Heck the best thing would be to File > Backup library to disk with a bunch of DVD-R's, therefore you get a backup in the process!
    Good Luck

    I'm just new at learning interactive pdfs in indesign so sorry if this is common knowledge. I know how to create a slide show on a page, but can you have two slide shows on the one page or more for that matter? (Ideally I need 3.) Each slide show has its own set of images and buttons.

  • CAN YOU HAVE TWO I TUNES ACCOUNT ON ONE COMPUTER?

    CAN YOU HAVE TWO I TUNES ACCOUNT ON ONE COMPUTER?

    The problem with making separate accounts is that this is a laptop, so likely not a huge hard drive, and if the three iTunes libraries need to have a lot of the same music (because everyone or two or three like some of the same stuff) you end up with double or triplicate copies of the music on the hard drive eating up drive space. Since they don't use his laptop normally, creating more accounts (with all the associated files and drive space usage each account would eat up) it probably isn't worth it.
    Instead, the best approach is like Chris said, to make playlists for the girls in the main library and then set up the various iPod to either sync everything (if big enough) or sync only specific playlists (if not big enough).
    Alternatively, they can set their iPods to manual syncing and then when Dad is visiting they can hook up their iPods and "shop" the library and drag in whatever they want to add to the iPods and delete what they no longer want.
