How to manage more than one iTunes library?

I want to transfer some media from my lap to an ext drive to create more space. I want one iTunes library on the ext drive for some media and keep the main library on my laptop. I created a new iTunes library on my external drive and added one artist's folder from the Music Folder to it. Now when I eject the external drive I am unable to open the iTunes on my laptop because the "folder containing the iTunes library cannot be found". What do I do to open my home iTunes back on my laptop? Is managing two iTunes libraries the best way to keep your media on the external drive? If so, what do I do?

In this case, you might need to create a manager structure based on Roles and create a role for each identified manager and put in it those users whom they manage. OIM only allows for a single manager per user on the user form. There is no default functioanlity to allow for this type of manager structure though, so if you see any checkboxes that limit based on manager, it will not work for this. Also any email notifications that are configured to go to the manager will also not work. You would have to use the APIs to see what role the current user is a member of, and then maybe you can add a custom field to your roles to limit what is returned like "Is Manager Role" and if true, return only those.
Just a few ideas to get you headed in the right direction.

  • Sharing more than one iTunes library with one iPod

    Hi.
    I've tho Mac connected together. I've two different libraries, one for ech one. Well, I'd like to charge my iPod with songs from the two libraries. How can I proceed? I've tried to share the libraries, I can listen to the tracks but no way to transfer to the iPod.
    Thanks in advence for your help.
    Regards

    If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one library or computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. In this mode you can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing content manually on iPod
    Syncing Music to iPod
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • Can i sync my iphone with more than one itunes library without erasing content?

    So i just got a replacement iphone yesterday, and restored from a backup all my contacts and stuff.
    I dont have my own laptop so when it comes to music i get all of my mine from other computers...this has never been a problem with my phone or ipods, but i guess it is now...when i click on manually manage it says:
    "An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
    so i cannot go to a second device and take songs from them without erasing the ones from the previous comp.
    they used to be able to authorized on up to 5 comps right? is this a new strict setting, or is there a way around it??
    thanks

    No. An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library.
    Basically you'd want to get the music to the library first, then sync it to the phone after you get it set up in your library.  iTunes will not transfer songs off the phone that were not purchased through the iTunes store, so they need to be in your library beforehand. You might consult with the googles if there are other third party ways to do that.
    The 5 compy authorization is for iTunes account authorization, which means transfering music bought through itunes, apps, etc.

  • Can I download Blu-ray digital copies to more than one iTunes library?

    I downloaded the digital copy of Paranormal Activity from the provided disc to itunes. After it finished downloading I rightclicked and selected Get Info. It says "Fairplay Version 3" What does this mean? Does this mean I can download this movie more than one time?
    Also, if I can downloaded it more than once can I also downloaded it on my wife's laptop under her itunes account or is the code connected just to my account now.

    That's the current Apple DRM for videos.
    If your wife's laptop is on the same account as yours just copy the download to her machine.
    You can run the movie on any 5 authorized machines but you can't download it again from iTunes.

  • Can i use more than one iTunes library

    i have just moved from mexico to UK, can i change my store from mexico to UK with the same ID ?

    Yes.  Go to the home page of the iTunes Store and click on Change Country, and choose UK.
    Once you give it your UK credentials (credit card with UK billing address) you can start making purchases from the iTunes UK Store with your present ID.
    You do not need to start a new iTunes library.  You can simply have your new purchases add to your existing iTunes library.

  • Can I use more than one iTunes account with my apple TV?

    Can I use more than one iTunes account with my apple TV?

    That depends what you mean. If you mean can you purchase from more than one iTunes account on the Apple TV, then the answer is no. If you mean can you stream from more than one iTunes library, which use different accounts, then the answer is yes, so long as they both use the same ID and password for homesharing.

  • HT3819 Why can't I use my apple TV to share more than one iTunes account?

    My partner and I both have seperate iTunes accounts, understandably. And we both use our appleTV, understandably. Why can't we set up apple TV to play music / watch shows from both of our computers? I hope this is not because I haven't read the manual.

    You CAN use the ATV to share more than one iTunes library. Homesharing however require you to use the SAME apple ID on both computer. I have homesharing turned on both my girlfriend and my computer with me signed in on both computers and the ATV. Both itunes librarie show up on the ATV as long as both computer are ON.

  • How do you sync more than one itune at a time to your ipad?

    how do you sync more than one itune at a time to your ipad?

    Not sure what you mean?
    More than one song?
    You can sync with one and only one computer/itunes library at a time.  If you sync to another it will erase the current content.

  • My itunes library has organically grown from more than one itunes account but all now on a separate computer.  If I upgrade to iTunes match will I have to pay for each account?

    My itunes library has organically grown from more than one itunes account (all paid for by me) but all now on a separate computer.  If I upgrade to iTunes match will I have to pay for each account or just once, for the computer?

    No.  Provided the computer that you use to upload / match your Songs is authorised to play all of the Songs all works well - once complete you can download Song files that will play on your libraries / other computers without each computer having to be authorised.
