How to have two seperate Itunes on the same computer for two Ipods?
Is there a way to have two separate Itunes downloaded on the same computer for two different Ipods? My sister got a new Ipod and she wants to hook it up to the computer but when ever she does it just pulls up my Itunes and has all of my songs on there. How can we each have our own Itunes?
There's many ways to accomplish this. You could create two accounts in Windows. That way everything is completely separate. Or, you could manually manage your music in iTunes -- this way it won't automatically sync your music onto her iPod. More info here:

Can i load two different itunes on the same computer for two different ipods?
Can I load two different itunes on my computer for two different ipods? Or how can I get it so that when I click on itunes, only my songs come up and not my wifes? And the same for her.
Yes. The simplest way is to have separate Windows accounts for each user. When either user runs iTunes, he/she will have a separate library with distinct content, playlists, etc., and can sync individual iDevices as needed.

HT1451 Can you have two seperate libraries on the same computer? How can you do that?
My family uses the same computer but I like different music. How can I create a seperate library for me to sync to?
Launch iTunes with the Shift key(Windows) or Option key(Mac OS X) held down, or use a different user account.

hi , can any one help me with a problem ,,, i own an iphone 4 and creates my account in itunes months later my friend bought an ipod and created an account also but created in my pc and now both get sync in the same pc and all my personal data from the iphone 4 keeps getting copy and the ipod gets it and have acces to my personal data and apps gets my mail etc , can any one help me with this issue?
thnk youSorry to hear of your problem, but any hardware in a computer can fail - that includes the hard drive, the logic board, etc, etc. Fortunately, it usually doesn't happen that soon; however, I've read of hard drives failing within 6 months.
So, since you did not purchase the extended Applecare Protection Plan (3 years coverage), you will need to make a decision to repair or sell it as is. I would always purchase 3 year coverage for an all in one or a laptop because repairs are expensive and at least I'd be covered for 3 years.
We can't speculate on whether there should be a recall or not; these forums are for user to user assistance with technical problems. In your case, there is nothing we can help with since you've already gotten a diagnosis. -

I SUCCEEDED IN TRANSFERING ALL MY BOOKMARKS TO GOOGLE CHROME. THIS WILL ALLOW ME ACCESS TO WEBSITES WHILE I WAIT FOR A METHOD TO REPAIR MY FIREFOX PROGRAM. IN A PREVIOUS MESSAGE, I EXPLAINED THAT I WAS UNABLE TO ACCESS ANY WEBSITE USING FIREFOX AFTER COMCAST, MY ISP, RECOVERED FROM AN OUTAGE THAT LASTED 5 HOURS. WHENEVER I TRIED TO CONNECT TO A SITE, A POP-UP MESSAGE APPEARED INDICATING: "UNABLE TO INITIALIZE THE APPLICATION'S SECURITY COMPONENT. THE MOST LIKELY CAUSE IS PROBLEMS WITH FILES IN YOUR APPLICATION'S PROFILE DIRECTORY. CHECK THAT THIS DIRECTORY HAS NO READ/WRITE RESTRICTIONS." I EVEN REMOVED FIREFOX FROM MY COMPUTER AND DOWNLOADED IT AGAIN, FIGURING THAT BY NOT MERELY USING AN UPGRADE, I WOULD BE INSTALLING A COMPLETELY FRESH DOWNLOAD. UNFORTUNATELY, I RECEIVED THE SAME DISAPPOINTING RESULT, WITH THE SAME POP-UP MESSAGE RE-APPEARING. HOWEVER USING BOTH GOOGLE CHROME AND INTERNET EXPLORER, I WAS ABLE TO CONNECT TO WEBSITES. SO I HAVE TO CONCLUDE THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT WITH MY INTERNET CONNECTION.
Press '''START + R''' in keyboard to open the '''Run''' box(or '''start''' then '''run''') , type in the RUN box '''%APPDATA%''' (or copied in just i wrote, bold text) then click '''OK'''. A Windows Explorer window will appear, in this window, choose '''Mozilla''' then '''Firefox''' then '''Profiles'''. Each folder in the "Profiles" folder (e.g., "xxxxxxxx.default") is a profile on your computer (maybe is one file if you have only one profile).
see for more info : [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile folder - Firefox ]
try it, good luck
thanks again -
How to access music and playlists on the same computer, for both Microsoft accounts?
Hello all,
My husband and I recently got a new computer and are running Windows 8.1. We were able to successfully use an external hard drive to transfer all of the music and playlists over so that I can access them on my user account (I am the "main" user). All of my playlists are present exactly as they were previously. This is the location of the iTunes media folder on our hard drive: C:\Users\Brittany\Music\iTunes
However, when my husband logs on as a user separately, the iTunes program is there, but we are only able to get him very limited access to some music. We can't get him access to any of the playlists, which is where the bulk of the music is.
We've tried everything. We've double-checked that he's an Administrator. We've made sure that all the folders are shared between us. We can both read and write to this folder location. We've gone into the preferences in iTunes itself and told it where we want it to find the iTunes Media folder. We also tried moving the iTunes media folder into the public shared music folder, and that didn't do a darn thing either. Nothing works.
I feel like we are missing some critical step somewhere. Or maybe we screwed something up somehow. I don't know. All I know is that it seems crazy if we're not going to be able to access the exact same version of iTunes complete with playlists. What gives?
Please help! Thank you!We've gone into the preferences in iTunes itself and told it where we want it to find the iTunes Media folder.
This step is wrong. Make sure the iTunes folder in your profile is visible from his login, then press and hold down shift as you launch iTunes and browse to the iTunes Library.itl file in your library. It may be easier to store the library at C:\iTunes and have both accounts access it there.
See Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy for advice on how to keep the backup copy of your library on the external drive up to date.

Two different itunes libraries on same computer
I hope someone can help me! How do i set up two different libraries on the same computer for two different ipods? My ipod is on a computer i no longer have and I'm trying to put it on a computer that has a different ipod on it. My ipod appears in Windows as (H) and not in itunes.
I've tried all the tips I found already with no luck!if the computer cannot be turned on, one option would be to remove the hard drive and put it in an external enclosure that can be connected to the working computer.

How can I sync two seperate ipads to the same computer without the apps from one ipad being loaded on the other?
Do this for each device. You can do this with all iTunes content as well. Apps, music, photos, books, movies - everything. You can have unique content on all of your devices.
You may also want to turn off auto sync so that you do not have to wait for the iPad to sync and then go back and make these changes.
Launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices - check the box at the bottom.... Prevent iPods, iPhones ....
Then set up your sync preferences like this using Apps as the example.
Connect the iPad to the computer and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Apps Tab on the right.
Click on all of the apps that you want to sync to that iPad
Click on the Sync Apps Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
You may want to uncheck Automatically Sync New Apps under the Sync Apps list -

My wife and i ahev two user set up our pc. we both have itunes with different content. I would really like to combine them..is this possible
At the moment iTunes accounts cannot be merged or combined. You have both accounts authorised on the same computer's iTunes (Store > Authorise This Computer), but the content from them will continue to be 'owned' by the account that originally bought / downloaded it.

I have two iPads and one iPod Touch and they are using iTunes on the same computer.
I have two iPads and one iPod Touch and they are using iTunes on the same computer. I have not been able to backup the second iPad. Is there a reason this is happening? iPad one is an iPad 1 and the second is an iPad 2 not sure if this has something to do with it. I just tried to upgrade to IOS 5 and when it went to back up it gave me an error code (-5000). I tried to back up using iTunes and it told me that my backup was corrupted and to delete it and try to back up again. When I went into the device portion where I was instructed to go to delete the backup I found that there was no backup for my iPad just the iPad 1.
I have synced many times and all of the apps, podcasts, music, etc... show up in iTunes, and iTunes recognizes that is is the second iPad but there is not a backup for it.
Any Ideas?Read this: How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495

How can I have another Itunes account on the same computer for my wife?
How can I have another Itunes account on the same computer for my wife?
In case you didn't fully understand what dallon meant, it means another user account on your computer. You set that up in Windows and then instal iTunes onto that account.
That way, you each have your own desktop and your own itunes. You can link to the songs in the other person's library as well, but you cannot run both iTunes at the same time. (That simply means you need to close it on the first account before opening it on the second account.)
