How do I have multiple accounts on the same computer

how do I have multiple accounts on the same computer? The idea of ", hold down the option (on a Mac)/ shift (on a PC) key each time you start iTunes" does not seem to work for me. Thanks.

Create multiple Windows User Profile with each managing his own iTunes account and library.
To create a user account on Windows 7:
To open User Accounts, click the Start button , click Control Panel, under 'User Accounts and Family Safety', select Add or Remove User Accounts.
Click Create a new account.
Type the name you want to give the user account, click an account type(make sure to give Administrator), and then click Create Account.

  • How do you have multiple iPhones, on the same computer, and on the same iTunes log in?

    My wife has the iPhone 4 and rarely syncs (1 time in the last 6 months) to our PC, so I updated her phone when she synced.  I have the iPhone 4S and sync everyday to the same PC and same iTunes account.  She synced her phone to our PC yesterday and all of my info is now showing on her phone (apps, pictures, etc) ... I have researched and do not see a solution on how to fix this?

    First thing to do is make sure each device has a unique name. You can change the name displayed in iTunes by connecting the iPhone to iTunes and double clicking on the name of the device.. Then type a new name. Wife's iPhone and dads iPhone for example.
    Then when you sync a device be sure to carefully select those items you want on that device and deselect those items you don't want. After you have made the selections you want click on Sync or Apply.

  • I have multiple libraries on the SAME computer.

    I have multiple libraries on the SAME computer. How can I share these libraries? I do not see the SHARED tab when i open iTunes. Where is this tab?

    home sharing works between two or more computers on the same LAN.
    if you're talking about libraries on multiple user accounts on the same computer, peruse how to share music between different accounts on a single computer.
    if you mean you're working with multiple libraries on the same user account, check out PowerTunes or iTunes Library Manager.

  • TS2972 I have multiple libraries on the "same computer" with two different desktops, can't I share between two libraries on the same computer?

    I'm trying to use home sharing to share content between libraries so some of the combined content in a given library, can be synced to an ipad.   Instad of having mulitple computers, i have multiple libraries on the same computer using two desktops.  How do I share within the same computer?

    iTunes must be running for home sharing to work.  There is no way to have home sharing running simultaniously for two users on the same computer.
    Simply add the media files using File > Add File/Folder option in iTunes.

  • How do I have multiple versions of the same .chm?

    Our developers recently were required to make changes to an earlier version of our software (thank goodness for backups). So I'm having to revert to that earlier version, make changes, and create a revised .chm. HOWEVER, I already had completed the upcoming release's .chm and don't want to lose all of those changes. To make matters more complicated, I also have requests for changes to the Help for the future release.
    So, how does everyone have multiple versions of the .chm on their system at the same time and keep them separate, yet compile the right files with the right version? I had thought I could just create a new folder with the files that changed for the various versions, but updating them in Word 2007 is not a pretty proposition. I'll then have to import them in and replace the "old" ones. There has to be an easier way! I'm sure other people do this on a regular basis, but this is the first time I've had to go back a version, maintain the next version, and start work on a yet-to-be-released version all at the same time.

    It never ceases to amaze me how questions on the forum are like buses, none for an hour then three come along. Not your fault but this was asked just a couple of days ago.
    When your developers issue a new version you need to save a copy of the source, we just zip it up. Then you carry on editing for the next version and zip that up and go again.
    Then when a change is required to an older version, you dig it up, amend it and zip it again.
    Not sure how it works with source control. The above is easier and reliable, assuming you manage it tightly.

  • HT1420 Can multiple users have Itunes accounts on the same computer?

    New to the Mac. Can my wife and I have separate iTunes directories on the same computer accessed based on our login?

    Yes. This happens automatically with different user accounts on the computer, and can be manually set up for a single account by launching iTunes with the Option key held down.

  • HT1473 Please help!How to put two iTunes accounts on the same computer?

    I have an Ipod and my mum has an IPhone. The songs from my IPod are backed up on my computer and we would like to have different music, but both backed up on the same computer. How do i do this without erasing all the music etc that is already on my mums phone?

    Launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, create a new library, and import her song files to it. Alternatively, create a new user account on the computer, move the song files to a shared area, and then import them.

  • How do you add another account onto the same computer that  has itunes?

    I want to add another account to my already existing account so that my dad can have his own music on the same computer with mine. can i do that? or should i just move all of my stuff to an another computer and just let him have the old one? i know this prolly sounds confusing but someone please tell me if i can do this!

    See if this helps: Using Windows XP User Accounts
    Creating a separate Windows User account for each person on your PC will give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one.

  • How do I use multiple accounts on the same Mac with Apple TV2?

    I have home sharing turned on in two separate accounts on a single MacPro.  When I am logged into both accounts, I can see both accounts' iTunes Libraries available in the AppleTV2.  However, when I try to open each account iTunes Library in the AppleTV2, only one account will open (whichever one I logged into first).  (In other words, I log into Account1 then open iTunes with Home Sharing On, then log into Account2 (while Account1 is still logged on), open iTunes with Home Sharing On. AppleTV2 shows Account1 Library and Account2 Library under Computers, but will only load Account1 Library.  Account2 Library will just cause AppleTV2 to search for the Library then give an error.)  How come AppleTV2 can see both Libraries but will only open one Library?  How can I fix this?
    Thanks,
    zpockets

    Thank you for replying.  Both of the accounts are Admin accounts.  The Libraries are kept in the user/music/itunes/itunes media folder on each account.  However, I do use multiple iTunes Libraries on my Account1.  One of the Libraries I use in Account1 is on a separate internal HD.  However, the other Libraries I use in Account1 are stored in user/music/itunes/itunes media folder on the main HD (which hosts both Account1 and Account2).  It doesn't seem to matter whether I am using an iTunes Library on an external drive or the main drive in Account1, I still get the same problem: only account1 library will load.  AppleTV sees that the Account2 Library is there, but it won't load it.

I therefor can't set the password.

  • Can you have multiple accounts on the same ipad2?

    Can my wife and I share the same iPad using two different accounts? If so, how?

    If you want differing accounts (like on a PC where you login to different user accounts) with different settings (like background image, icon settings per page, etc,) per account, then no.

  • How do you have two iPods on the same computer?

    Hi everyone, I previously had an iPod mini installed on my computer. Then at Christmas my parents got me an iPod nano, and when I tried to install it on this computer, it made me delete all of the files from my iPod mini. I was then able to download my nano, and everything has been working out fine. However, my dad wants to get an iPod now, and I don't know what to do in order to keep both of our iPods on the computer. Can you please tell me how?

  • Is it possible to have multiple accounts under the same apple id

    I just bought an ipod touch primarily for my daughter to use, and would like to communicate from my ipad to the ipod touch using facetime. However, both are under my apple id and apple account. Is there a way I can talk from one device to the other - if they are both owned by me but being used at different locations? Additionally I would like to have a different ID for my MAC if possible, so I can communicate by facetime with people at home if I am not there.
    Any suggestions?

    Yes, follow the instructions here:
