How do I create different iTunes library for different Iphones in a family

how do I create different iTunes library and Syncing Iphone separately using same desktop PC?

The best way to set it up in my opinion is to have each user have there own user account on the computer. This way information is stored separately and easier to locate and navigate through.
If you want to have it this way but would rather go through and log into different iTunes libraries on the same user account follow this article. If you do it this, it would work the same you just want to make sure the correct library is open before syncing the device.

  • How can I use my itunes library for iphoto slideshow?

    how can I use my itunes library for iphoto slideshow?

    Here's a possible workaround:
    Create the slideshow in Iphoto and add a theme and music.
    Install Picasa  and it will include the slideshow on it's indexed list.
    Upload the slideshow to PicasaWebAlbums and send the link to anyone you wish.
    The music and theme is preserved.
    Caveat: My playback pictures appear darker than usual but that could be just lousy photography...:)

    Thank you so much for the replies.
    Thanks all it took for me to discover that my Sign In was wrong.
    I was using my regular email of ******@Gmail.com instead of correctly using ******@me.com!
    It then went through without a hitch.
    All is well.

    Hello Solid Buck,
    Thank you so much for providing the details about the duplicate song issue you are experiencing.  It sounds like you would like to remove the duplicate songs that will not play on your iPhone, but when you connect it to iTunes, iTunes only shows you one copy of the song on your iPhone. 
    In this situation, I recommend deleting the individual songs that do not play directly from your iPhone.  I found the steps to do this on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf):
    Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Sheila M.

    Recently my hard drive failed on my mac mini.  I had burned a bunch of CDs on the old mac mini and then sync'd it with my iphone.  Now the CDs are on my iphone but not on the new mac mini.  How can I sync my itunes library from my iphone to my new mac mini?

  • My iTunes library has been replaced with my husband's iTunes library on our iMac. How do I get my iTunes library from my iPhone back onto my iTunes library on the iMac?

    My iTunes library has been replaced with my husband's iTunes library on our iMac. How do I get my iTunes library from my iPhone back onto my iTunes library on the iMac?  Help!!!

    Well, this is a problem, because the only material you can transfer from your iPhone (using only Apple software) is material you purchased in the iTunes Store.
    To do that, plug your iPhone into iTunes, then choose File > Devices > Transfer Purchases from iTunes' menu.
    Generally speaking, you should restore your iTunes library from your computer's backup.

  • How to I get my itunes library from my iphone back on to my apple laptop?

    I just had to get a new hard drive in my laptop- How do I get the music from my itunes library on my iphone back onto my apple laptop?

    Your music will not magically appear anywhere.  It will only be where you put it.
    You need to copy your music from the old computer to the new one.
    Use your backup copy of your computer.
    Type "move itunes library" into the Google search bar.  You will find instructions there.

  • I recently had to do a complete system restore how do i transfer my itunes library from my iphone back onto my computer

    I recently had to do a complete system restore on my computer. How do i transfer the itunes content from my iphone back onto my computer?

    You don't.
    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases.
    The iphone is not a backup device.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a  backup copy of your computer. Certainly you did not restore your system without making sure that your backup copy was up to date.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good) then you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • How do I find my iTunes Library on my iPhone 4S?

    From my PC, I purchased a movie.  It is in my iTunes Library and I can play the movie on my computer.  I can't find my iTunes Library on my iPhone.  Can anyone help?  I'm a brand new user.

    On the iPhone 4S, music is located in the application "Music" and movies will be located in the application "Video". They should be found on the homescreen, or in one of the folders.

  • How do I use one iTunes library for several user accounts?

    This is definitely a question!
    I have several user accounts for my osx. One I use at home, one at work etc.
    What I never have been able ta manage is a way to use the same iTunes library (the same music files) for the different accounts.
    When a new user profile is created, everything in it is set to scratch.
    I have tried all kinds of tricks:
    - Direct iTunes to look for It's library on the other users folder (wich doesn't really work, cus even if you are Admin you don't have access to other users folders through another user).
    - Creat an alias for the other library-folder and refere to it.
    etc. etc. You name it...
    Anyone?

  • How do I create an iTunes library on an external hard drive?

    I have a MacBook Pro running OS10.6.8 and iTunes 10.3.1.
    I have simply run out of hard drive space on my laptop.
    I want to create a secondary iTune library on an external hard drive.
    (I know how to create a new iTune Library - it ends up in my Music folder on my laptop hard drive).
    So how do I:
    a) create or move this folder to an external hard drive, and
    b) once done, how do I move my video files (television programs and movies) from my laptop iTune folder to the external hard drive?
    Thank you for any assistance.

    no need to create a secondary library - too troublesome, IMHO. you can spread your library over as many drives you can connect to your Mac (wired or wirelessly):
    iTunes > preferences > advanced.
    point iTunes media folder location to the external
    on the same tab, ensure the copy files ... when adding option is checkmarked
    okay out of preferences
    highlight the content to be moved in iTunes and right-click
    select consolidate files from the pop-up menu
    wait for the process to finish
    when done, you may delete the original files from your boot drive.
    alternatively, you could move the whole shabang to the external HD:
    copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music or media folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music to the external, launch iTunes while holding the option(⌥) key, click on choose library when prompted, and select the iTunes folder you copied to the external.
    when done, be sure to point iTunes media folder location to the external so that new additions to your library will be put there. also, you need to make sure the external is mounted on your desktop before you fire up iTunes.

  • How do I create an iTunes library that is genre specific i.e. Christmas Music

    I have accumulated a large amount of Christmas music in my iTunes library and am running out of space on my hard drive.  I would like to create a library on an external hard drive that contains only my Christmas music and delete it from my computer.  I have successfully created a library that i named "iTunes - Christmas".  On this  HD there were 64 albums that had nothing to do with Christmas music. 
    My question is, how do I get my 758 pieceses Christmas music from my MacBook Pro to my iTunes Library on my external HD, freeing up space on my computer?

    If your description of the scenario, or at least your wording thereof, made sense then my reading your question would suffice.
    You made a library but you have 64 non Christmas albums in it.  I don't know how those ended up in it if you didn't add them yourself.  You make a new library by creating one when starting iTunes with the option key held down.  It makes a blank library.  You add files to it.  If you did it some other way then it would help if you would grace us with that information or else we'll just keep on guessing and give you the wrong answer.  If you want your Christmas albums in it then copy them to the hard drive and drag them to the Christmas library when it is open in iTunes.
    Being polite will get you help from people who know the answers to your question.

  • Can you create different itunes libraries for different ipods?

    Each member of my family has an Ipod; is there a way to create a library for each Ipod? Right now we are having to manually check each song / video each time we sync the different Ipods. There has to be an easier way.

    In my opinion, it is easiest to sync separate playlists -- "Method Two" here:
