How do I create multiple libraries & use with multiple ipods?

Hi All,
My wife and I have different tastes in music. Currently we use different user log ons to seperate our libraries. It's a complete pain because there's no other reason to use seperate log ons.
We'll soon be upgrading to a new iMac and I'm wondering if it's possible to have two libraries operating in the one itunes sesssion?
So here are my questions:
1) Can I have two libraries sourcing the same music files?
2) We each have an iPod, can it be set to only update one of those libraries, but still automatically update when connected?
3) If we create playlists, will they be associated with only one library, or both (my preference is one, of course)?
4) I'm pretty sure iPods can be set so my iPod only updates my playlists, and my wife's iPod only updates her playlists - is that correct?
5) If we have seperate libraries, can we have seperate ratings? (Our opinion of what a five star song is is different)!
Of course, for the above questions, if the answer is 'yes' please let me know how to do this. I've had a look through the itunes manuals online, but they don't seem to have any information.
Cheers, Chris

Chris,
I have the exact same situation, and I have tried Doug's iTunes Library Manager, but it doesn't work for me. The first workaround I tried was to set up two smart playlists to group together any music that only one of us liked, which could then be checked or un-checked (control-click) depending on which iPod is being synced. This is clumsy, and if you aren't careful the Recently Added playlist will still "contaminate" your iPod.
Last night I just made a new library for my wife (hold down Option when starting iTunes), copied everything over using the Add to Library command, exported all the playlists using the Export Library command, deleted all the music and playlists she doesn't want, and synced her iPod. It took a while to erase and re-sync, but it is now synced to HER library, and she doesn't see any music she doesn't like.
Tonight I will do the same for myself. I will have, then, three libraries which can be selected by holding down the option key when starting iTunes: Mine, My wife's, and the main one with everything (called Library) All the music files stay on an external Firewire Drive. There is no way to toggle libraries from within iTunes, you have to quit and start it again holding down the option key.
Podcasts are another story, and I haven't quite figured them out yet.

  • How do I create a NetBeans project with multiple JavaFX (FXML) dialogs?

    I'm very new to Java and JavaFX, so forgive what is probably a question asked a thousand times, but I can't seem to find the answer.
    I come from a Visual Studio (C# with WPF) background. I'm used to creating a Solution then adding a Project for each dialog/window that gets included in the Solution. Each dialog/window is a class derived from Window, and I simply create an instance of that class when I need to use the dialog.
    What I need to do is have a main window (stage) that contains two lists of participants (a red team and a blue team).
    Then I need a separate dialog for entering the information for the participant. So when a button on the main stage is pressed ("Add Red Participant"), I want to open the ParticipantDialog. When the "OK" or "Close" button on the Participant dialog is clicked, I want the dialog to be able to return a participant object to the main stage.
    Then the main stage adds that participant to the appropriate list.
    What I've gathered so far is that I will be creating an FXML file for the Participant dialog (and I assume an associated controller). Then when the "Add" button is pressed, I will call an FXMLLoader to load that FXML dialog. Something like this:
    FXMLLoader fxmlLoader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("ParticipantDialog.fxml"));
    Scene scene = (Scene)fxmlLoader.load();
    final Stage participantDialog = new Stage();
    participantDialog.setScene(scene);
    First question is: is that correct so far? Am I at least on the right track?
    Next question is: how or where do I create the FXML and controller files for the participant dialog using NetBeans? Should I create a separate project to make the participant dialog and then copy those files over, or is there a way to make the files within the parent project? And if I make the participant dialog in a separate project, what's the easiest way to access it from my main stage?
    I feel like I'm missing something simple here because this seems a lot harder than it should be.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    >  is that correct so far?
    Yes the sample code you have is fine to launch a new dialog when your Add button is pressed .
    > I create the FXML and controller files for the participant dialog using NetBeans?
    You can edit FXML text in NetBeans, but I think that is kind of tedious.
    You might want to create the FXML using SceneBuilder.
    You can use SceneBuilder in NetBeans.
    You may want to get it working without FXML first.
    For example, use the JavaFX scene graph API, then convert your program to use FXML once you are more comfortable with the JavaFX system.
    The piecemeal approach cuts down on the amount of learning you need to do at one time.
    > Should I create a separate project to make the participant dialog and then copy those files over.
    No.
    Just use a single NetBeans project.
    You will have separate FXML files for your main stage and your participant dialog, but they will both be placed in the same NetBeans project.
    > is there a way to make the files within the parent project?
    In NetBeans 7.3.1, do the following:
      File | New Project | JavaFX | JavaFX FXML Application
    This will create a sample project with a sample fxml file.
    Modify the sample project files to get what you want, changing the sample fxml to your main stage fxml and adding a new participant fxml to the same directory.

  • How can i create a zip-file with multiple volumes

    Hi,
    i've to zip a large file (250 MB and more). But the zip file shouldn't be greater than 5 MB, because i have to send the file via E-Mail. So i've thought, that the solution of this problem can be to zip the large file in smaller zip-files, which are multiple volumes of a zip-archive. I've searched very long in WWW, but didn't find something. Perhaps you can help.
    Sorry, about the bad english. :-)
    Timo Bunger

    Hi
    Who said your english is bad ?. OK, are you looking for compressing the 250 MB file in to multiple versions using a java program ?. If not, there is a shareware you can download and split the file into multiple parts by specifying size of each part. You can send these parts via email and the other person can combine these parts into a single file again.
    Find this @

    You may need to read a bit about it on how to use.

  • How can I create a "master" document with multiple variations?

    I designed a map that will be posted at a few dozen junctions with a "you are here" symbol.  Every one will be identical with the exception of this symbol.  I don't know if there is any way to do this while preserving a "master" map that can be edited all at once.  For example, I may need to change the location of the paths and it would be a real time saver if I didn't have to edit 20+ files (each with an arrow in a different spot but otherwise the same) separately.  Also, I will be sending the file over email to a professional printer, so I am very uncertain about what would be a standard way to format something like this and really wouldn't want to clog their email.
    I haven't been able to figure out an easy way to do this.  I'm wondering if it involves using multiple artboards, a feature that I'm not very familiar with, or if the easiest way is to have a layer for each symbol location and just save twenty files (whew) and send them to the printer as separate documents - which seems super clumsy.
    I have tried copying the artboard multiple times.  This was my best attempt at editing all at once: I created whatever I needed on one artboard, then dragged it to the symbols panel, then cut, then went to edit > paste on all artboards.  However, this doesn't allow me to simply fiddle with a path or object that already exists and I can't figure out how I would delete the same object from all artboards.
    If anyone has some thoughts, I'm pretty novice, so please keep it in simple terms. Also, I am in a bit of a time crunch, so speedy answers are much appreciated!  Thank you!

    Alright, that makes sense.  And yep...I've never worked with a professional printer so I wasn't sure if it is standard to have something that will require that much involvement in the set-up on their part, but I guess it's preferable to sending a bunch of separate documents.  Thanks so much for your help, Larry!

  • How can I create a XMP List with multiple selection

    Hello,
    I try to build my own XMP custom panel. Herefore I need a couple of lists with the possibility for multiple selections (e.g. the choice for one language or multiple languages).
    But how is it possible to integrate a list into a panel? There is no XMPList inside the custom folder. I have experimented with the standard mx:list and an array collection for data binding into the list. But how can I write the user selection into an XMP field? Example: In the List the user choose three languages (DE, EN, FR). Is it possible to collect the choice into a string and to write the result into an XMP standard field (e.g. dc:description)?
    A further question is, if it's possible to use the "HTTPService" to bind an external xml-file with the languages and other informations into the panel or is it only possible to work with an array collection inside the code?
    Here is my code:

    Hi Markus,
    the FileInfo SDK does not offer a ready-made list component allowing for multi-selection.
    So you would need to implement one using the FileInfo SDK API. Your component "XMPList" would inherit from mx:list and would need to implement the XMPRead and XMPWrite events and talk to the XMP using the IXMPAccess interface within those event handlers.
    Please have a look at the Programmer's Guide, section "XMP Flex components" and at the API description available in "docs" for further guidanc.
    Hope this helps
    Kind Regards

  • How do I create a PDF document with multiple different page sizes?

    I scan tif images and can have a single document with Letter, Legal, Tabloid, and even full map plan sizes (36" X 24") all in one document.  I get the document all set, then do a: File, Print, choose Adobe PDF (running Acrobat XI Pro), but it converts all the pages in my tif file to a single size.
    I've found where to set the size, but the problem is I have many different sizes.  Is there a way to have the Adobe PDF printer, just use the original documents page sizes for each page when converting?

    The program I use to create the TIF files (OpenText's eDOCS Imaging) does not make PDFs, it makes TIFs (and TIFFs).  To then convert this, if I try to do it through Adobe directly, I get an error which prompts me to open it in the native program and to choose print and then select the adobe printer.
    This works perfect if every page is the same size, but many times my documents have many different page sizes  as well as portrait and landscape within the same document (but that is a separate option).
    Doesn't Adobe have a "use the original page size / orientation" as an option when creating PDFs from existing documents?

  • How do I create one Family account with multiple sub web sites?

    It seems like this would already have been discussed. I have searched and have not found what I am looking for.
    What I would like is:
    web.mac.com/myfamilyaccountname/family
    then I might have one for whatever reason:
    web.mac.com/myfamilyaccountname/hans
    and my wife would want hers:
    web.mac.com/myfamilyaccountname/michelle
    She has her own laptop and would like to post to her subsite but under the family account.
    Thanks

    Hans,
    You could purchase a .Mac Family Account.
    But, based on the way you have demonstrated the urls you want, all of you could use a single .Mac account and just publish to it with whatever machine you choose. Just configure each machine to the account using System Preferences, and publish to it. As long as each site is named differently, they will not overwrite one another.

    Hi Dear;
    how can i create a master form with multiple sub form using screen painter?
    best regards;

    Hi Dany,
    Do you mean a form connected to a MasterData Object with multiple childs?
    If so:
    1. Create a new ScreenPainter form;
    2. Add a Folder item for each of the childs;
    3. Add a new matrix to each of the childs and change their PaneLevel to from 1 to N (N = number of childs you have);
    If your code you then need to catch item pressed event for the Folder Items and change the form's Pane Level accordingly.

    How do I create/host interactive articles with embedded video for use in browsers?
    The aim is to bring together video, design, images and writing in one place. A little like Born Presents, but very accessible and user friendly.
    I'm happy using InDesign but want to create interactive articles / magazines that have embeded video files as required. I've been looking at .SWF files but I've come unstuck.
    I want people to view the articles via a blog, ideally with them opening in a lightbox style viewer. It's not intended for tablet viewing and people should be able to view and interact with the files with little effort on their part.
    I think I know how to create these files within InDesign, but I'm not so hot on web design and I'm not sure how to host these online. Does this start coming into the realms of Flash?
    If anyone could point in the right direction I'd really appreciate it - Thank you in advance.

    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.

  • Is it currently possible to create a doughnut chart with multiple concentric circles in SSRS?

    Is there currently any way to create a 'doughnut' chart with multiple concentric circles in an SSRS report (any version), without using 3rd party tools?
    Something like this, perhaps?
    (For that matter is it possible to create this using JavaScript?  It's my understanding that this image was originally created in a web app using JavaScript.  So far I've not been able to pin down the details.  I've found hints that JavaScript
    can be used in SSRS reports but so far no clear working examples.)

    Hi B.Chernick,
    According to your description, you want to create a create a doughnut chart with multiple concentric circles in your report. Right?
    In Reporting Services, we only have doughnut chart with one concentric circle. All the category group is in that concentric circle. Though we can embed javascript injection in expression, it only give the css style to values or report
    items which can change the looking. It can't change the structure of the report items itself. So your requirement can't be achieved current.
