How to hook Nano to different libraries

I have a machine at home and one at work. Both have different info on them. How do I update my nano without loosing everything?

If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you can change the update preference to "manually manage songs and playlists. It will be simplest if you make the change on your home computer, I presume at this point it hasn't been linked to the one at work.

  • How can i set up different libraries on one PC for myself, daughter, and wife if we all have our own accounts?

    I currently have a wife and daughter that use ipods and I just bought an iphone.  Is it possible to have three seperate music libraries on one PC if we all have seperate itunes accounts? and if so how do I accomplish this?  I tried setting up different user accounts but the same single library keeps coming up.  Thank you in advance for any help that you can provide.

  • How do I combine two different libraries into one?

    I have three devices, one iphone and two ipods. How can I combine all three libraries into one single library. Is this possible?

    Choose the library connected to the iPhone, import the media content from the other one/two libraries. DeDupe.
    I've written a script called DeDuper which can help with the last bit. See this  thread for background.

  • HT1660 How do i create 3 different libraries for 3 different users to sync to? How do each person sync to their iTunes library's? When we sync now, all three people sync to my library

    How to create and sync to 3 different peoples libraries on the same pc?

    You can open iTunes while holding the Option Key and "Create new library." You can then name them accordingly. You will need to go to iTunes presences > advanced and uncheck copy files to iTunes library and afterwards drag the iTunes media folder back into the newly created iTunes library.
    After all new libraries are created, and the content added to it, you will be able to open iTunes while holding the Option Key down and "Choose Library" and swap between the separate libraries.
    A better way maybe to create each user their own account with their own libraries. Either way would work.
    Hope that helps!

  • How can I easily manage different libraries of music between my iPad and my iPhone from the same computer?

    My 32 GB iPad stores much more data than my 16 GB iPhone... clearly. But I want to be able to easily sync these two seperate devices with two different sets of music from my iTunes. As it stands now, my iPad will always have the same amount of music as my iPhone because my iPhone is maxed out and the two devices are synced on the same computer from the same library. Do you understand where I'm coming from? Let me know if you need clarification.
    I want to be able to have my iPhone filled with individual songs, whereas my iPad would have the full albums. There doesn't seem to be an efficient way to do this with one computer. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

    It can be done very easily actually. I do it with three different iDevices.
    Connect the iDevice to your PC and launch iTunes. Select the iDevice from the left sidebar of the iTunes window. Then click on the Music Tab. Select only the music that you want on that particular iDevice and then sync the device with those selections.
    Do the same thing with the other iDevice. When you sync with iTunes the next time, iTunes will remember the music that was synced to that device.
    Make sure that you uncheck Sync Entire Music Library and check Sync Selected playlists, albums, etc and then select all of the music for each device.
    When you make changes to the current configuartion on the iPad - you will have to click on Apply in the lower right corner of the iTunes window.

    Can you keep it from creating duplicates?  These libraries have some duplicates.
    How do you deal with duplicates? 
    I'm talking 50GB. 
    All computers are authorized. 
    THANKS for any suggestions.

    You can't.
    If accounts could be merged, then everybody could merge their accounts with everybody and there would be no need for anyone to buy anything.

  • I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

    I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

    You do not merge libraries.
    iDevices sync to one and only one computer.
    If you want a single library, you manually move the content from one library to another... all content will still be associated with the Apple ID it was acquired with.

  • How to switch between different libraries for different iPods?

    Hi,
    I succesfully created two separate iTunes libraries on my computer (windows XP) for the iPods of me and my girlfriend. But, how can we switch easily back and forth between the different libraries?
    The suggested option on http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432 'method three' and bullet '13' does not appear / work....
    Regards,
    Roy

    thanx for replying so fast.
    No problem, Roy. : - )
    Sorry for the delay in getting back to you this time. : - (
    i'd like to know how i can switch between libraries without closing down iTunes.
    Unfortunately you can only choose your Library at startup. So the only way to switch Libraries is to close iTunes ...
    You might want to let Apple know your thoughts on the matter by submitting this form: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

  • I have three different libraries.  How can I combine them?

    Downloading more music onto my Mac, but they show up in different libraries on my ipod.  Is there a way to combine the libraries?
    Thanks

    Hey Kelliott222,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    In iTunes your library library some items might be stored in different locations and you can consolidate all the files in your library to the iTunes folder.

    You can drag media files onto the iPod or iPad in iTunes to add them to the device without adding them to the iTunes library.
    Have a nice day,

  • HT202213 I have 3 users on one computer with 3 unique user accounts.  Each have unique ITunes accounts.  How do we share our music libraries using home sharing?

    I have 3 users on one computer with 3 unique user accounts.  Each of us have separate and unique ITunes accounts.  How do we share our music libraries using Home Sharing?  Everything that I can find talks about sharing between networked computers, but this is all on the same computer.  I just want to share between ITunes accounts.  Thanks!

    Hi b noir, I also have two users on one pc with two different iTunes libraries.  But I also want to put them onto an external hard drive so that I can free up some memory on the pc.  So I figure I need to consolidate the two users iTunes libraries first before moving to hard drive?  But not quite sure how to do that on the iTunes 11?  Thanking you in advance!!

  • My wife and I share a computer for our itunes accounts. How can we copy our music libraries to each others accounts without erasing the original library? We want to merge our songs.

    My wife and I share a computer for our itunes accounts. How can we copy our music libraries to each others accounts without erasing the original library? We want to merge our songs.

    If the music is on the same computer, import the songs to your iTunes library by dragging them into iTunes or choosing File > Add to Library (Mac) or File > Add File to Library or Add Folder to Library (Windows).  If the music is on different computers you can set up Home Sharing to copy the music from one library to the other (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4620).

  • Can I have two different libraries for iTunes?

    I would like to have two different libraries for iTunes. How can I do it?
    Regards.

    To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key (or Shift key in Windows) when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library: Using multiple iTunes libraries -Mac
    Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one.

    You cannot merge two separate libraries across user accounts. Photos does not have the function of merging different Photos.library files. If you have Aperture then you can merge the two before migrating over to Photos.
