How do I manage two separate Ipods on same PC?

I have filled up 160 GBs of music, but it keeps coming. How can I set it up so that future music goes onto a separate play list (I guess), and then loads onto the new Ipod?

See this Apple support document for a couple of different possibilities.

Question regarding using two separate IPODs on same computer

I recently bought my husband an IPod since he loved mine so much. I already had ITunes on my computer (obviously), so I had him signout and then establish a separate account under his name before attaching his IPod to the computer. Once on ITunes, my library remained in the que even under his new name. He was thrilled because it saved him the issue of having to mess with downloading songs. He deleted off some songs, added others, and moved things around. Now, no matter what name you log-in under, the same library and playlists come up. Is there a way to fix this, or avoid it from here on out? I want MY LIBRARY back.

It sounds like you're talking about logging into your separate iTunes Store/Apple accounts which will only affect which of those accounts is charged for purchases.
It does not change Libraries or anything of that nature so, unfortunately, unless you made a back-up copy of your iTunes Library file before your husband started making changes, your LIbrary - as it was - no longer exists.
As for the future, you may want to have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base and let us know if it brings you any combination of joy and/or satisfaction.

Need computer to recognize two separate iPods using 2 libraries on single login

I have a family who has two separate iPod 5's, and Ive created two separate libraries for them on a Windows 7 machine under the same login.
I know how to open iTunes holding the "Shift" key and double clicking the icon, but what I want (and what Apple SHOULD have coded into iTunes IMO) is for the computer to recognize which iPod is associated with a specific library, and open the correct one in iTunes when the iPod is plugged in.
Currently, it is opening the last library that was opened. Sounds a little silly, but holding shift, and selecting the library every time is not going to fly for this family. They are not that computer savvy. This seems like something that should automatically be done...if not I consider it a bug in iTunes.
They are using the latest iTunes/iPod firmware.
Any help?
Thanks,

I know what you need to do!
Buy yourself a turntable and some records - you know, that vinyl stuff (that I grew up with):
When playing an album (a twelve inch LP record), there was a ceremony to go through: slipping the record carefully out of its sleeve, handling it by its edge and centre label but not the playing surface, skillfully flipping it over and round to the read the centre label, making sure you played the correct side. Then getting up every twenty minutes to flip the record over to side two, or put on a different album altogether.
And if you were a singles fan... sitting next to the record player, preparing the next 7" (seven inch) that you were going to put on; removing from the turntable, the record that had just finished, and putting the next one on in its place as quickly as possible.
A ritual in fact.
As great as vinyl was, you would then appreciate iTunes and all it has to offer.

How can I maintain two separate itunes accounts on one single device (iPhone 4) without erasing either set of data when syncing with itunes?

Hi,
Depends on what you trying to setup but for purchases, you can roll down at the very end of the iTunes/AppStore pages to logout of your current account and then login into a different one. Then your purchase will be billded to this new account. Everything will sync as you used to but in order to use the purchased content in iTunes or other devices, you will need to authorize them (you can have up to 5 devices authorized for an account).

How do I take two separate non numeric fields in a acrobat form and combine the data to display in a third separate field?

How do I take two separate non numeric fields in a acrobat form and combine the data to display in a third separate field?

You have to use custom JavScripting to concatenate the first 2 fields. You cannot use the first 2 calculation options because they force the values of the fields to a numeric value or ignore string values.
Possible scripts for the 3rd field are:
event.value = this.getField("Text1").valueAsString + " " + this.getField("Text2").valueAsString;
or
event.value = this.getField("Text1").valueAsString.concat( " ", this.getField("Text2").valueAsString);
If you do not want change the separator or not show the separator when on or the other field is empty, you will need to add more code to adjust for change.
The above scripts will also concatenate number because the field values are read as strings and not numbers.
There is also a generalized user written function to concatenate up to 3 fields with a separator that adjust for missing data.

How can i add two values under the same property?

Hi all,
How can i add two values under the same property name in a
prop list? For example:
[question1: "item1","item2", question2: "item3","item4"]
To be more precise, i am creating a property list and I want
whenever a two values have the same property name to be added int
he list under the same property. For example:
gMyList.AddProp (#""&question&"" & x,
member("input").text)
question is a variable that is updated fromt he user's input.
Now, whenever somethign like this happens:
question = "question1"
member("input").text = "five"
question = "question1"
member("input").text = "six"
I want to output list to be:
[question1: "five","six"] and so on
Any ideas?

Maybe you could make each property a list (so you have a
property list full
of lists), and add multiple values to the list held in a
particular
property?
Cheers

Photoshop CS4- Does anyone know how to tell if two people are using same file?

Photoshop CS4- Does anyone know how to tell if two people are using same file?

Hi,
Thanks for your response. I'm not the solution in the link.
The problem that I am having at work it that several people in our department want to be able to update a file, but we want to be sure that no one else is currently editing that file. If someone has the file open, it's helpful to know the user's name so we can talk about when the next person can edit the file. This works in Excel files that we use, and I would love to find out how to do it in Photoshop and Illustrator.
Thanks for the help!

                         01 TYPE bschl VALUE '01',

How do I manage two iPods on one computer please?

I have an iPod (early 40G model, and it's fine). I installed iTunes, and all fine. A year goes by. Another member of the household gets an iPod (mini), and we load the software into a different subdirectory in Program Files. This erases my iTunes, but all still works fine for some reason. i.e. when I attach my iPod, it is recognised, and my iTunes music is shown on the screen. When the other iPod is attached, same thing (i.e. it is recognised and her iTunes are shown on the screen). Our different music folders are stored in different subdirectories.
This is all fine, until her iPod erases itself, and is now no longer recognised by iTunes. In the processes advised for solving this situation (restore and reset etc) we erase my iPod (but have managed to restore music to if after re-installing the original software that came with it.)
So now we are back to the stage of having her iPod not being recognised by iTunes. Please suggest solutions! Please also advise if there is a more sensible way of managing two iPods on one PC. Is it really as basic as having different playlists?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Yep. Playlists will do it.

Keeping two separate Ipod lists in one ITunes program on one computer

Each of us has a separate Ipod, but share a computer. We like mostly the same tunes -- so have one ITunes library on the computer, but have some different tastes, so she has some tunes on her Ipod I don't like, and I have some on mine she doesn't like (so both of us use most but not all tunes in the library). We both want to keep separate track of our two Ipod lists in our computer in case (as has happened) an Ipod glitches and has to be reloaded. I can't get ITunes on the computer to accept the list of songs on my Ipod as a separate, permanent file. How can I accomplish this?

How do you combine two separate paths into one?

I have two two separate paths that overlap and I want to combine into one path. How do I do that?

I've now worked it out thanks it thanks. I highlighted the main path and the outer path to the second one and clicked on merge shape components. Then highlighted the inner path and did the same and this has worked.

Can you have two separate iPods on iTunes without having the same songs?

My husband and I both have iPods but we don't want to same music on them. Really we would like to have two separate iTunes, so that I don't get his music and he doesn't get mine. Is that possible or do we just have to manually sync them?
