How to Manage Multiple Users' Playlists

Hi - Can someone tell me the best way to manage playlists from more than one user on a single computer running Windows XP. In my case, I have four people in my house using a single computer. Each person has their own iPod and there own iTunes library. I would like to be able to download my own library plus one other person's music library (not all four) onto my iPod. I figured out a way to do this some time ago but it seemed clunky and I almost lost alot of music. Can someone explain the "right" way to do this? Thanks...

You are doing what I do at home. My music is stored on a network drive though.
This is one of the recommended methods for people to manage different iPods. The most important consideration now is whether you are using users accounts or if everyone is running as admin. Also, where the files are store matters. If you are using default location the it will be /user/My Documents/My Music/iTunes.

As long as a user can access files in the other users' folder then all you have to do is use the add file or add folder function to add the files to your own library.

  • How to manage multiple users/devices/Apple IDs on a single computer

    I got my 8 year old an iPad mini for Christmas and I'm about to set it up but I need some advice on using multiple IDs on one computer. I have an iPhone 4s. I assume I will need another Apple ID for the iPad mini so she can use Facetime. How do you manage two devices with different IDs on one computer? Will my movies and music be available for the iPad mini ID? What happens when I plug the iPad into my computer? Do my iPhone apps on my account disappear? Do I need to log out of my iTunes store account? Is their a danger in mixing the two accounts? I was told to be careful if you plug another iPhone into your computer because it can wipe your phone and replace it with another users info if you don't log out/in correctly. It's very confusing so if anyone could give me some advice on how to set this up and manage two IDs and devices on one computer it would be helpful. Thanks:)

    This should be of some help.
    How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer
    Your daughter is too young to have an Apple ID because the minimum age is 13 years old. You can use her email address for FaceTime and Messages. You add the address as the contact address when you activate both of those apps. But both apps will still have to be tied to your Apple ID.
    I was managing 5 different devices with one iTunes library and all devices had their own unique content on them. It is not that difficult to manage.
    there is lots and lots of information out there on how to do this. Check some of these out for more information.

  • How can I Manage Multiple Users?

    My wife and I both want to organize and edit our digital photos with PSE10.  Up until now, I have managed all of our photos by myself, and I have synchronized all data on both of our computers (and backed up all of our data to an external harddrive).  Now that my wife also wants to organize and edit our photos on her computer, I am finding it difficult to synchronize the PSE Catalogs and photos on our two computers.  So, I am looking for a better procedure. 
    Should I (and can I) keep my PSE Catalog & Photos on: 
    (1) an External Harddrive (which would be connected to only one computer at a time, while that computer user is organizing and editing photos), or 
    (2) on a Home Network location where both users could access the photos for organizing and editing (with a "lockout" for photos which are being edited by the other computer user)? 
    Are there other good or better procedures for managing multiple users of PSE? 
    My computer is running Win7 Home Premium 64-bit. 
    My wife's computer is running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit.

    Thank all of you for your replies. 
    Re SOFTWARE CHOICES:
    I decided that my wife and I will each use different software on our different computers.
    I decided NOT to upgrade my wife's software from "Windows Live Photo Gallery" (WLPG) to "Adobe Photoshop Elements 10" (PSE).  After a detailed discussion of my wife's wishes, I discovered that she only wants to (1) move our pictures into folders, (2) cull the pix, and (3) create "Album" folders (with only our most memorable pix) to be printed as 8.5" x 11" pages for the Albums.  She wants me to crop, edit, add captions, and print the Album pages.  See the image at the bottom for our current Photo Mgmt Plan.
    I will continue to use "Lightroom" (Lr).
    Re SYCHRONIZATION: 
    I decided that we both can use the same picture files.  I use "GoodSync" to sychronize files between my computer and my wife's computer (and between my computer and my backup HDD). 
    My wife's "WLPG" does NOT appear to use a database.  My changes (including "Keyword" edits or adds) show up in her "WLPG" program, when picture files have been changed by myself in "Lr" and sychronized with her computer.
    After my wife adds folders and/or changes the folder contents, I sync her computer with mine.  I open her folders (which are now also on my computer) in "Lr", and "Import" any of her new and duplicate pictures into "Lr".  Surpisingly and thankfully, the pictures that have been moved to a new folder by my wife do NOT show up in "Lr" in the previous folder (i.e. I do NOT have to find and delete any "Missing" images which were in the previous folder location).
    Re MULTIPLE USERS OF A DATABASE:
    I do not need to use this now, but I read that "Lr" is designed to work with the "Lr" database (and pictures) on an external HDD.
    Thank all of you again for your very helpful replies.

  • How to add multiple users to a role in ECC 6.0

    How to add multiple users (say 1000) to a role in ECC 6.0?

    Hi
    You can actually add multiple users to a role using transaction SU01. From SU01, use the menu Environment->Mass Changes.
    Here you can manually add the users, select them by address or authorisation data. Once you have your user list, you can then add or remove roles and/or profiles.
    Secondly , You can use SU10 to do mass changes to multiple users including role assignments per logical systems

  • How to manage multiple ipads and iphones on the same computer

    Any advice on how to manage multiple iphones (iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 & iPhone 3G) along with an iPad & iPad 2 on the same computer?
    Thank you

    The article that AnaMusic references assumes that you sync automatically I believe. Turn off auto sync and select whatever you want to put on each device. As Philly said, it really is a snap. I have never synced automatically and I never selected iTunes to start up when my iDevices are connected. I want the control over all of that.
    Launch iTunes on your computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically. Check that box and then quit iTunes.
    Connect your iPad to your computer, launch iTunes, click on your iPads name on left sidebar under the devices heading and then click on the summary tab in the iTunes window on the right. Select - Sync only checked songs and videos. If you really want to "live dangerously" - uncheck Open iTunes when this iPad is connected. Now you can control what you sync and when iTunes starts up. iTunes will not start up when you connect the iPad and it will not sync anything on its own.
    Go into each tab in iTunes, Info, Music, Apps, .... All of them - check what you want to sync in each section. After you have made all of your selections (and you have checked all of the headings - Sync Music, Sync Apps and so on) click on Apply in the lower right corner on iTunes and the sync will take place.
    Do this with each iDevice and iTunes will remember what you selected for each device the last time that you synced. You can make changes to this configuration any time that you want for each device and if you do just remember to click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes in order to apply the changes.

  • How do we manage multiple users in a CAL account

    Hello Gurus,
    A colleague of mine has created an instance of HANA in CAL and I'd like to access it because we need to develop together, but we're not sure how to do so. We can see tabs "Accounts" and "Users" in CAL but how do we add someone else's user to your own CAL account?
    Ideally, we'd like to both manage the same account (to start/stop the instances) with our own separate users. Should be very easy to do and yet there's no indication on how to do it.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Daniel,
    Lemme explain that in detail so that, you have a clear picture on this :-)
    For Paid Subscriptions:
    >> The pricing works per active instance, per month: so you can have only one active instance at a given point in time in your CAL account. This means you should see only one instance under the "Instances" tab in your CAL account (the state of the instance can be active or suspended but as long as you see an instance under the "Instances" tab - it is counted as an active instance).
    >> If you want to create another instance (a new solution instance), then first you will have to terminate/destroy the previous instance under the "Instances" tab so that, the Instances tab is empty and then you can go ahead and create a new instance. You can do this multiple times and create multiple instances from the solutions library as long as you follow the above mentioned rules.
    For Free Trials:
    >> The above restrictions do not apply for free trials and you can create multiple "unique" trial instances in parallel. For example: you can create one trial instance for BW on HANA trial and in parallel you can create another trail instance for ERP on HANA and another instance for CRM on HANA (so you can have 3 different trial instances running in your CAL account at the same time under the "Instances" tab) but you CANNOT create two instances of the same trial (so you cannot have two instances of BW on HANA trial in the same account).
    For Users:
    >> You can add multiple users from your organization in your CAL account and give them administrator or read only access to the solutions instances in your account.
    Btw, thanks for bringing-up this question, I will add this to our FAQ section as this would be helpful for everybody.
    Hope this info. helps and lemme know if you have additional questions.
    Best Regards,
    Adarsh

  • How do you manage multiple users, iTunes and icloud

    I haven't figured this out yet.  I have an iTunes account, two daughters who buy most of the music on it but we all share the account.  We all have Macbooks and iPhone 4 or 4S.  I don't want to download their music and they don't want to download mine.  How do we blend iTunes, iCloud and our phones and Macs without so much cross-pollination?  I already have music in my library that has been downloaded since I got my new iPhone and activated iCloud and it's music they purchased.

  • How to manage multiple macs

    Hello,
    I tried posting this in the server forum but didn't get a response. Perhaps there is a better place for this. My family has two MacBooks and two mac minis and would like to manage them more effectively. If an update appears, then we have to download and install it four times. We also have purchased software and would like to somehow manage/coordinate the licenses. It would be helpful if we could somehow create a network or use the mac server software to manage updates and software more effectively. Does any one have suggestions on how to do this?
    Thanks!

    You can add multiple user accounts to the system in the Users & Groups system preferences, where you can set an account to have full administrative priveleges, or more limited "Standard" or parentally controlled "Managed" accounts. In addition, you can enable the "Guest" user, which resets itself to factory defaults whenever it is logged out.
    In this manner your data and those of the other users is kept separate, so an evil sister in law can be given either limited access where no data or settings will be changed (the Guest user), a restricted account intended for kids where you can control application access and time allotments (parental controls), or provide all access except for administrative tasks (a standard user), or finally full access as admin.

  • Best way to manage multiple users and multiple devices?

    I would like some advice on the best way to manage iTunes and devices synced to it for multiple users -- Here's the scenario: I have 2 grade-school aged kids, who each have an iPod Nano and are going to get my old iPhone 3G to use as an iTouch after I upgrade my phone to the iPhone 4. In addition to my iPhone, I have a MacBook, a 30GB iPod, and a iMac. We are also looking into buying an iPad that we'll want to use (among other things) to watch movies while traveling. All music/apps/movies are currently located in my iTunes account on the iMac, and we sync via my personal @mac.com account.
    I don't want to simply set up separate iTunes accounts for each kid, as I'd like to be able to control what music & apps they buy/download, and I've already got a fair amount of "their" music/apps/movies in my account, and don't want to have to try and move it from my account to theirs. Any advice on how to best set up an iTunes sharing arrangement that allows me to control their accounts, and sync all of the above devices would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  • How to manage multiple locations for Item (Management warehouse locations)

    Is there any way, with UDF and Formated Search, to manage multiple locations for Item in the same warehouse
    I must have several (at least 2) locations for the item in the Warehouse and that  i enter in goods receipt and have track of this location and search possibilities at sales order by item and WHS.
    read carefully and imagine how (Management warehouse locations)
    I added a user table '@Location' who linked to a user field 'U_Location in Item master data --> lnventory data line and an ather user field 'U_Location' in sales order
    I met the value of location in the table (list of locations for any warehouse), I select the location of each item while receiving merchandise in the user field of inventory data line (Item M data) and this value appears in the sales order 'U_Location' user field ( only the location value in the default warehouse for this Item)
    or
    create an user field 'location' in Good receipt PO to fill it while receiving merchandise that appears in the sales order to give possibility to find/select the location of the item at this order and in Item master data
    I think we will use all these tables and there is a relationship between all.
    @LOCATION
    PDN1
    OITM
    OITW
    OWHS
    RDR1
    a piece of code has been proposed, but it is not so simple
    SELECT T0.U_Location FROM [dbo].[OITM] T0 WHERE T0.ItemCode = $[$38.1.0]
    Thanks,
    Ouchen

    I believe you are talking about defining BIN's (locations) within a Warehouse.
    This is quite possible and has been explained / discussed on this Forum a few times in the past.  Though I am completely clear on how you would like to implement this I could give you some guidelines..
    Creating a @location UDT is correct to maintain list of warehouse locations
    UDF in Items - Warehouses (Item Master ..Inventory Data Tab..Rows)
    UDF in Marketing Document Rows (When you add a UDF here U_Location then this will available in all marketing documents, both AR and AP)
    You will define a location for an Item in the Item Master....
    In the GRPO..you can use FMS to list the location/s for the Item being received from the Item Master and the User can Select it.
    In the Sales Order, you can select the location from which the Item could be picked..
    Let me know if your process / ideas are different

  • How to prevent multiple users from updating the same data in coherence

    Hi,
    I have a Java Web Application and for data cache am using coherence 3.5. The same data maybe shared by multiple users which maybe in hundreds. Now how do I prevent multiple users from updating the same data in coherence i.e. is there something in coherence that will only allow one user a time to update. If one user is in a process of updating a data in coherence and some other user also tries to update then the second user should get an error.
    Thanks

    I have a question on the same line. How can I restrict someone from updating a cache value when I a process is already working on it. I tried locking the cache key but it does not stop other process to update it , it only does not allow other process to get lock on it.

  • How to manage multiple sizes of the same image?

    I recently took up LightRoom for all the good things it does. One of the things I need to do, however, is to create and manage multiple sizes of the same image needed for different purposes. I always found this cumbersome. I totally expected that the LR library would offer a solution for this but I looked and I didn't see anything. Sure you can export and resize in the process but then you're on your own. Am I missing something? Isn't there a better way? What does Adobe have in mind for best practices and how do you handle this?

    I can't speak for 99jon, but when I need multiple sizes, I export at the desired sizes, and then make use of the exported photos (upload, e-mail, whatever) and then delete the exports. Thus, there's really no need for me to keep track of the photo at this specific size, knowing that if I ever need it again -- unlikely -- I can regenerate it with the export pre-set, so I put no effort (zero!) into keeping track of photos at different sizes.
    The idea of adding it back into the catalog doesn't get me excited, and I would advise against it. I don't need this, and I don't see the benefit of keeping this particular size export for the long-term. As I said, I can always recreate it — but maybe you have such a need to keep these exports long-term and recreating it at a later point in time doesn't meet your needs? Can you explain?
    By the way, you can't resize a virtual copy, so that won't work here. The only time you can resize is on export.

  • How to manage multiple version of PLSQL application in database?

    Hi all,
    What are the recommended approaches for managing multiple version of plsql program in a single database?
    We can't afford to have different db instance for different version due to server resource.
    We need to keep different version so that easier to support our users who are using different version of our application.
    Please advise.
    Regards,
    Jap.

    Hi Guido,
    Yes, I thought of that as well. If really so, then schema name will have to be different.
    Anyway, just exploring if there's any other possibilities.
