Can 2 ipods be used on one computer? (different users-2 accounts on one computer)

We have one computer, 2 ipods (one classic, one nano), 2 itunes accounts. Is it possible for 2 users to use the same computer with different ipods and different itunes accounts. We are having problems accomplishing this.

I have windows, one computer but multi users. home sharing is on. how can i share music between users on one computer?

I have windows. One computer but multi users. Home sharing is on. 2 apple accounts-1 per user. 4 devices-2 iphones and 2 ipods per user. How can we share music on one computer between 2 users?

Hi Justinece, I've solved the problem in this way:
In my wife user profile I've set in itunes settings/advanced the path to my music library: /Users/"MY NAME"/Music/iTunes/Itunes media.
Than, from my wife profile using my administrator user and password I've set the "read/write" privileges on the above mentioned folder.
Finally I've added the folder in my wife's library taking care to not duplicate it ( leave blank the flag in itunes setting/advanced).
I really don't understand what's the use of home sharing...

Can i install itunes multiple times on one computer for multiple users?

Can i install itunes multiple times on one computer for multiple users?

Like most applications you only need to install it once for it to be available to all users. (That said it is possible to install an application and only make it available to the current user, but that's rarely needed.)

I need to share my Itunes library on one computer with two user accounts

I have one computer with two IPODS. I would like to share the music I already have stored on one library with another user library. How do I do this?

Home Share on One Computer with Two User Accounts

We have one computer in our house with two user accounts. I have an iTunes account and my husband has his own. Due to many moved music files and whatnot, it is very annoying and difficult to try to find songs from his library to add to mine using the Add File (or Folder) to Library link in the iTunes file menu. I am unable to access some of the songs currently in my library because he moved some of his files and my iTunes can't locate them any longer. I was hoping Home Share would solve our problem, but can't get it to work. Is it hopeless for me because we technically only have one computer? Is there an easier way for me to add some of his songs to my library without searching through our five or six different iTunes library folders on multiple hard drives?
We have both enabled Home Share on our individual user accounts, but do not have the Home Share icon appearing in our iTunes side bar.
Thanks for the help!

I was able to get the two iTunes home shares to work on the same machine and "see" each others library as long as I have them both open at the same time (for the Mac, using fast user switching made that very easy). Once the home sharing was working, playing music/movies/etc worked but when I tried to import / drag and drop from one account to the other it acts like it's doing it but then doesn't.
This may be perhaps unique to me because of my unusual setup, I set my "secondary" account to use the iTunes folder of the other, "primary", account to avoid having two copies of the same thing. Doing it this way meant I didn't have two copies of files on my computer, but it did mean I had to "Import to Library..." the media into the "secondary" account every I added something to the primary. I wonder if giving each account it's own library location would resolve this issue (while unfortunately meaning that the two accounts would each have a copy of all of the music/movies/etc, doubling my drive space usage). I'll update this post if I find out anything more.

HT4527 I would like to transfer music from iTunes on the same computer (two different users). Can I do that with home sharing? If so, how?

I see many discussion about transferring between two different computers but not one with just one computer. My husband and I use one Macbook, have two iTunes accounts and want to share some recently imported music.

many thanks.
Actually, Home Sharing should work in your situation, because iTunes for Mac supports Fast User Switching. (You're better off in this regard than us over here on the iTunes for Windows side.)
The basic trick is that iTunes has to be open in both user accounts at once. Set Home Sharing up in your husband's account. Now switch over to your account, launch iTunes and set up home sharing there. You should be able to see his library now. Transferring from his library is now as per the standard instructions for Home Sharing transfers.

Sharing iphoto library on the same computer between different users

Can anyone tell me how (without having to write my own code) I can share photos easily (so I can teach my parents, who know nothing about mac, how to do it) between different users on the SAME COMPUTER?
I am so frustrated! You can share with anyone else in the world, but when it is on the same computer I can't figure out how to share!

Hi Mereditty,
Here are all the links I have for sharing a couple of different ways.
SHARING IPHOTO LIBRARIES
Sharing libraries between users on the same local network
You can also share a library on the same machine between users the same way.
Sharing libraries between users on the same machine...
-both users must have sharing enabled in their iPhoto Preferences
-both users must be logged in and have iPhoto running
-Remember that you can only view the other library. You can't edit the photos or play the saved slideshows or view the made books or burn them to CD or DVD. The books and slideshows will show up as an album. You can play that album as an "on the fly" slideshow. You can drag images from the sharing library to your library in the source column to import them to your library. You can then edit, add to albums, books, slideshow, etc.

SHARING ONE IPHOTO LIBRARY BETWEEN USERS ON SAME MACHINE
You can try one of these three methods:
1- Use iPhoto Library Manager-the paid version
The documentation page will give instructions on how it is done.
2- Sharing one iPhoto library between several users on one machine
3- Share an iPhoto Library in tiger Using ACL's
4- I have also read about ShareAlike
There is no other info on the site about how it works.
I strongly urge anyone wanting to try any of the methods for sharing one iPhoto Library folder among more than one user to backup all iPhoto Library folders before attemptin anything.

One computer, two different ipods, one shared library?

Is there a way to setup two different ipods on one computer. I currently have my ipod library setup on an external drive. I setup a separate user profile for my husband. I pointed the library to my external drive, but no music files show up on his account. I also tried setting up home sharing....don't see library files under home sharing.....help please!

*How to use multiple iPods with one computer*
The Apple support document How to use multiple iPods with one computer suggests a number of ways. I use method two (Sync with selected playlists) with a slight twist. Rather than regular playlists I set the grouping field to indicate which users should receive which tracks and create smart playlists based on the content of this field.
e.g.
"Alice's Tracks" is "Grouping contains Alice" + "Kind contains audio"
"Bob's Videos" is "Grouping contains Bob" + "Kind does not contain audio"
Tracks that both Alice & Bob want on their iPods have the grouping set to "Alice/Bob"
etc.
I currently manage our family's five iPods using this system, each getting a different selection to suit their tastes and the capacity of their iPod. An advantage of using the grouping field is that it is stored in file tags (for non-wav audio files anyway) so that it is relatively easy to recreate the playlists should the iTunes library get trashed. Also useful if you move files about manually as playlist membership is preserved when you delete & re-import the tracks.

PS CS6 on one computer with multiple users.

PS CS6, one computer multiple users. Only Admin Users are able to save Actions created, non admin users can not. This is a Gov. Computer that is not specific to one user, and is managed by an IT department. need a solution to allow non admin users the ability to save macros/actions if possible.

That's what group policies are for...

HT3819 sharing i tunes library on the same computer with different users

How do I share my library on the same computer switching to a different user?

If you want all users to be able to access the same music, but with different libraries, NikkiG's advice is spot on. However, I thought I'd throw in my 2¢ since I just set this up for a friend.
If you want all your users to have exactly the same library, and not just access to a shared library, do the following:
-move the entire "iTunes" folder (~/Music/iTunes) into the Shared folder or to separate drive.
-in each user's account, remove the iTunes folders (or just move them to a new location until you're positive this method works for you)
-pop open Terminal.app (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app) and here's where it gets a little dicey; type the following into the command line:
ln -s /Users/Shared/iTunes/ ~/Music/iTunes/
What this does is create a symbolic link (think alias, but more technical and powerful) between the iTunes folder in the Shared folder, and each user's iTunes folder. This way, each user is directly accessing the iTunes library, and not just through the shared area in iTunes itself. This allows them to add/remove music and playlists to the same library.
HOWEVER, this method will mess up if you have multiple users logged in and using iTunes at the same time.

Sharing Playlists and Music on the Same Computer with Different Users

I'm trying to share music and playlists between different users of the same computer.
Ideally I'd like to use the same iTunes music folder for all users, and have the same music and playlists show up no matter which user logs in (without having duplicate copies/files of the same songs clogging up our hard drive).
also would like to be able to sync our shared iPod no matter which user panel we're logged onto.
is any of this possible with the new version of iTunes?
thanks much i advance.

Backup one computer with two users

How do I use Time Machine to back up the data for two users on the same computer (The computer is used for both personal and for work)? I partitioned my external hard drive into 2 parts (one part for storage and one part for backup). Do I need to somehow divide the backup partition?

Time Machine backs up the whole computer, not individual users so you don't have to do anything.
