How can I manage multiple libraqries on iTunes?

My HD is getting too full, mainly because of Movies & TV shows. How can I keep my music and Podcasts on my HD and movies and TV shows on my second HD (or and external derive)?
If I can do this, I am usually on Music, but how do I purchase a movie from iTunes store?
Having achieved this, how do I get it onto Apple TV?
Many Thanks
Richard

Maintaining multiple libraries is feasible, but ultimately a bad idea unless you have absolutely no other choice. iTunes can handle switching between multiple libraries, but it is not designed to properly manage multiple libraries. The better option is to move your entire music folder (media file library) to a larger, dedicated volume. You have a Power Mac G5 so you have a number of options, but first there are some things that you need to tell us:
1. What is the capacity of your current hard drive?
2. Do you have a second internal drive? If so, what is the secondary drive’s capacity?

How can I have multiple users on iTunes (in order to connect to a shared office iPad)?

How can I have multiple users on iTunes (in order to connect to a shared office iPad)? Currently each of us has our own iTunes account, so I've made an "all office" Apple ID. However, I can't seem to get two different accounts (my personal and the office) to work on my machine. Even when I login as "the office", my personal library is still showing. Additionally, when I try to setup with a first-time use in iTunes, I get an error that I don't meet the minimum age requirement - no matter what birthdate I enter!

The library exists regardless of which user is logged in.
The only way around that is to create different user accounts on the computer.
There is no way to have 20 unique iTunes users access a shared iTunes under a single login on the computer.

How can I have multiple iphones on itunes without them sharing contact info

If contacts on each iPhone are being synced direct with the same supported address book app on the computer via the iTunes sync process, deselect Sync Contacts under the Info tab for the iPhones that you don't want synced with the same address book followed by a sync.
If each iPhone is sharing the same Apple iCloud account with Contacts enabled for over the air syncing, each iPhone needs its own iCloud account.

How can I manage multiple devices in iCloud?

I have 30 devices that I need to manage. I want all devices to be managed under a single iTunes account. Attempting to have a separate itunes account for every device would be a huge headach, and serious time-waster.
I do not care one whit about iTunes on a computer, so please don't point me to the article on using multiple iDevices on a single computer. These devices are not synchronized to computers, unless individual users decide to sync their phone to load up music, photos or whatever. Further, when the phones come into IT I do not care at all for the data stored on the phones. These are business phones. So if a user chooses to put anything on the phone, that user is responsible for backing it up / reloading if we have to wipe it.
So, with those criteria -- HOW do I manage all of these devices on a single iCloud account? Most specifically, I am trying to get "Find My iPhone" to work, but it says that all devices are off-line. I have my assigned phone in my hand, turned on, and using the internet.
In truth, I actually don't care about anything except the Find My iPhone functionality -- we do not sync our phones with iCloud.

How can I manage multiple iPads for different students?

Problem: I need to manage multiple iPads for my students with special needs. I need to download different apps to different iPads and I'm not sure how to keep their apps separate but still keep ultimate control of the units (i.e. lock them from loading anything on the apps that we at the school district haven't approved).
I need to be the only one doing updates, loading software, etc., and don't want to keep using my own personal iTunes account...any suggestions?

If the presenter is using a computer and everyone else has an iPad this is very easy and free. Just use http://join.me and on the iPad just download their free app

How can I Manage Multiple Users?

My wife and I both want to organize and edit our digital photos with PSE10. Up until now, I have managed all of our photos by myself, and I have synchronized all data on both of our computers (and backed up all of our data to an external harddrive). Now that my wife also wants to organize and edit our photos on her computer, I am finding it difficult to synchronize the PSE Catalogs and photos on our two computers. So, I am looking for a better procedure.
Should I (and can I) keep my PSE Catalog & Photos on:
(1) an External Harddrive (which would be connected to only one computer at a time, while that computer user is organizing and editing photos), or
(2) on a Home Network location where both users could access the photos for organizing and editing (with a "lockout" for photos which are being edited by the other computer user)?
Are there other good or better procedures for managing multiple users of PSE?
My computer is running Win7 Home Premium 64-bit.
My wife's computer is running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit.

Thank all of you for your replies.
Re SOFTWARE CHOICES:
I decided that my wife and I will each use different software on our different computers.
I decided NOT to upgrade my wife's software from "Windows Live Photo Gallery" (WLPG) to "Adobe Photoshop Elements 10" (PSE). After a detailed discussion of my wife's wishes, I discovered that she only wants to (1) move our pictures into folders, (2) cull the pix, and (3) create "Album" folders (with only our most memorable pix) to be printed as 8.5" x 11" pages for the Albums. She wants me to crop, edit, add captions, and print the Album pages. See the image at the bottom for our current Photo Mgmt Plan.
I will continue to use "Lightroom" (Lr).
Re SYCHRONIZATION:
I decided that we both can use the same picture files. I use "GoodSync" to sychronize files between my computer and my wife's computer (and between my computer and my backup HDD).
My wife's "WLPG" does NOT appear to use a database. My changes (including "Keyword" edits or adds) show up in her "WLPG" program, when picture files have been changed by myself in "Lr" and sychronized with her computer.
After my wife adds folders and/or changes the folder contents, I sync her computer with mine. I open her folders (which are now also on my computer) in "Lr", and "Import" any of her new and duplicate pictures into "Lr". Surpisingly and thankfully, the pictures that have been moved to a new folder by my wife do NOT show up in "Lr" in the previous folder (i.e. I do NOT have to find and delete any "Missing" images which were in the previous folder location).
Re MULTIPLE USERS OF A DATABASE:
I do not need to use this now, but I read that "Lr" is designed to work with the "Lr" database (and pictures) on an external HDD.
Thank all of you again for your very helpful replies.

How can I manage multiple JTrees by establishing a link between them?

Hi guys,
I have a program that load 2 JTree in a separate panel by JSplitPane.
Now what I want to do is that if I click on a node in one of these trees in one SplitPane, I want the other tree to do something correspondingly in another SplitPane.
I know I can make the game big as 2 threads, but I try to solve it in a minimum solution.
Is there any hints and examples?
Thanks
Michael

Hi, again,
I have 2 JTree objects. I wrote a JTree node selection listener extends the MouseAdaptor to respond to mouse click in my first JTree object.
The listener works fine and can return me what I need, for example return me the node I clicked and some associated nodes which located in my second tree.These 2 trees locate in separating splitPane in a GUI window.
My idea is let the second tree be updated spontaneously upone the clicking in my first JTree node..How could I inform the second tree about my mouse event in the first tree?
Thanks to your replies.

How can I select multiple songs in iTunes without having to hold the Command key while clicking each individual song

Trying to drag a block of songs from iTunes into TuneUp and I have about 1800 songs to bring in. TuneUp maxes out at 1000 songs per batch, so I can't use Select All, but I also don't want to Command + Click 800 times to get all of those songs selected.
Thanks in advance.

Answered my own question. Select song at the beginning of the list. Hold down the shift key. Go to the last song you want in your list. Click that song. All songs in between will be highlighted. Such and idiot.

How can I view multiple playlists in iTunes?

In the old version of iTunes I could double-click and that would open the playlist in a new window so that it could be compared to another playlist etc. Is there a way to do this in the new version of iTunes?

Delete the app from your device. Restart your device once or twice. After that, the device will realize you want to manage your podcasts using iTunes and will let you manage them from iTunes again.

Hi iCloud is Making Me Go Crazy,
You will need to create a new Apple ID for your GameCenter and iCloud services. You can continue to use the current Apple ID you share with your Mom for access to iTunes Store purchases if you wish.

I do not want to share libraries.

There's a couple of options (other than using specified playlists or manual management out of a single library).
