How to run two libraries? [11.0.0]

Hey everyone. I've been using iTunes for a long time now, as it is a relatively good program for organizing my huge library> I don't use it to listen to music, but I often need to move files around and onto the appropriate devices for my family. Because of this, I got an external hard drive. From time to time, iTunes will forget that my library comes from my external. usually, this is after booting iTunes without having the external plugged in. This can be a nuisance, because iTunes then decides to fill up my laptop's free space with the large amounts of music I put on at once. It gets especially annoying when I need to consolidate files to ensure they are all on the hard drive because it will consolidate to the computer instead.
My question is, how do I set iTunes up so it will always look for my hard drive and use that as the library first? Then, and only then, if it cannot find my hard drive, it will use my computer's storage. Most important to solving my problem is that during those times it uses my computer's storage, it should automatically use my hard drive if present upon restarting iTunes.
I have figured out how to have two libraries, but I need to know how to put one on a higher priority and as a default that doesn't get changed.
To recap, If I run iTunes without my external hard drive, it changes the library location to my computer and does not put the setting back to how it was.

This is done by default, but it is up to the user to ensure the external or network drive is connected.

Again, this is done by default.
If the user fails to connect the external drive before started iTunes the following steps should be taken.
Close iTunes.
Connect drive.
While holding SHIFT, launch iTunes.
When prompted to locate or create a new library, select locate and point iTunes to the external drive.
Is the iTunesLibrary.itl file actually on the external drive or is it on the C drive of the computer?

HT1347 How do I run two libraries from one computer?

How do I run two libraries from one computer? One library is on the computer's hard drive, the second library is on an external hard drive. The computer that had the external hard drive crashed and I need to fix the iTunes library on it. How can I do this without corrupting the library on my internal hard drive?

Launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and either create a new library or choose the one on the external drive. Any rented movies downloaded from another computer won't play.

How to run two versions of dreamweaver at the same time

How to run two versions of any dreamweaver at the same time?
There must be a way to do this.

Yes, there is: on two separate computers.
You cannot run two versions of Dreamweaver simultaneously on
the same
computer. They can coexist side by side, but the operating
system will
not let you run them together.

How to run two icalenders on the same computer?

How can i run two separate icalenders on the same computer? I have my own icalender with work, home, etc, and it's totally full. I am now running an artists collective and will publish the collectives icalender on the web. I don't, however, want to mix what will be a pretty busy calender with my own already too full one. Is it possible to run two totally separate calenders on the same computer?

trsv,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Create two Groups...
Calendar 1:
Work
Home
etc
Calendar 2:
Collective Calendar
You can then switch which groups you wish to display by activating/deactivating the check mark in the Calendar source window.
That will also allow you to selectively publish the Collective Calendar.

How to sync two libraries in to a third library?

I have a MacBook pro with two user-accounts, each with separate iTunes-libraries. I'm also building a Home Theater PC using Mac mini. Now, I would like to have the contents of the two iTunes-libraries on the MBP on the Mac mini. How do I do that?
Ideally, whenever someone adds content to one of those two libraries, it's automatically copied over to the mini. They could be copied to the "Automatically add to iTunes"-folder on the mini, so they would be automatically added to the iTunes-library on that machine.
Note: this would only be one-way syncing. The two libraries on the MBP can remain separate, and they would not be receiving any content from each other or from the library on the Mini.
This sounds simple, but it's not. I have looked at Folder Actions and Automator, but there doesn't seem to be an easy solution to this. I don't really know AppleScript, so I don't know how to script this. Currently I'm looking at third-party apps to handle this (like TuneRanger: http://www.acertant.com/web/tuneranger/default.htm), but it seems that those apps do not handle this automatically requiring manual work to move the content over.
I would be more than willing to accept suggestions. Either scripts, third-party apps.... anything! Or am I really the only person with a problem like this?
Some of you might be asking "why not simply stream the libraries to the mini?". Yes, that would be simplest solution. But I want the content to be available independently, without the MBP. If I'm lazying in the couch, I want to be able to access that content without having to turn the MBP on and/or launch iTunes on it.
thanks in advance

Use Windows Media Player ?to sync. Each device has it's own sync properties. What you are trying to do is a feature of that software. I do not use the Creative software at all...only the Zencast Organizer (as I needed a podcast aggregator anyway).

Does anybody know how to run two independent instances of Calendar simultaneously?

I've enabled the Debug mode, and have 2 windows open at the same time but can't get them to operate independently. Anybody done this?
The situation is that I work for a music school that uses iCal to keep track of music lessons for multiple tutors in real time, which sync to relevant tutor's iphones. We've just opened a second premises and would like to use the same system, but be able to monitor everything from either school.
Debug mode will let me run two instances of Calendar simultaneously, but removing tutors' calendars from one of the Calendar windows removes them from the other.
Basically I need one Calendar window open for each school, and for them to be independent from each other.
Any takers?

How about creating a new "Calendar" with in the same Calendar app?
Calendar App---> File---> New Calendar
Name each Calendar for each business location. Example if the original location is on Main St, name that Calendar Main St and the second on Broadway, name that calendar Broadway.
The other solution could be the same as above, but File---> New Calendar subscription. But I have no idea how that works though.

How to run two files with same url- urgent

hi,
i created two servlet page and both are working very fine.but at same time i only able to run one file with same url. Is possible to run two or more file at same time with same url name..
if you r not understanding what i want to ask then, i have two file names under helloWeb directory
1) helloWorld.java(servletname s1, url /man)
2) helloWeb.java (servletname s2,url /man)
to run - http://localhost:7001/helloWeb/man - it runs very first file which is added to deployment module.
so i want to know how i can run both file with same url, for this what i have to pass on my address bar.
plz help me i m wating
<b></b>

Hi,
We can give same url mapping to both Servlets but we can access the servlet which is entered first in web.xml because whenever we send a request to the webserver then webserver look at the elements in web.xml file one by one.
When it finds the corresponding url mapping then immediately sends the response to the client.The same url mapping for the next element will be ignored.
I think there is no possibility to access both servlets with same url.

How to run two instances of WoW on a Mac?

So I am looking to run two windows/instances of WoW on my mac. Basically so I can use my mage on a seperate account to rush my lowbies through instances. It wont let me simply load the game twice like on a PC, does anyone have any ideas how I could do it?

I've never played WOW so I do not know how the settings are setup on a Mac but one way that you might be able to do it is to create a second account and try running it in both accounts. Go to System Preferences/Accounts and click on the plus to create a new account. Next click on Login Options and put a check in the box that says Enable Fast User Switching. Then from your Finder in the top right hand corner you will be able to switch between your 2 accounts.

How to run two sub vi simultaneously??

how to run subvi simultaneously.vi ‏11 KB

You are correct, they will not run at exactly the same time. What is it you are actually trying to do? What platform are you developing on? What version of LabVIEW? What processor does your target system have? This information is vital in order for us to assist you. In a nutshell, unless you are running a real-time OS, then the OS you are running is not deterministic. When you say "at the same time", what are you actually referring to? As a note, when executing parrallel operations in LabVIEW, the execution order may or may not be the same with the highlight bubble on as it is when it is running without highlight execution. It is highly unlikely that you will be able to just run two sub-vis at the exact same nS. If you are using DAQ boards, you accomplish this through triggering. Please give a detailed description of what you are doing, and what you see the road blocks being.
Thanks

How do run two instances of a LabView program

Hi,
I have a LabView application that is used for RS-485 diagnostics with a 2-port PCMCIA card in a laptop. The application is written to access only one of these ports at a time, although the user interface does allow the user to choose which one. What I need to do is to run two instantiations of this application, accessing one port per application, yet keeping them completely independent. How do I do this?
So far, I have complied an executable application, but they don't seem to be independent. Could it be that opening one port interferes with the other. Also, renaming the app doesn't seem to work. It does seem clear that I have to run a compiled application because I can't run the same VI with the same subVI's independently within LabView.
Thanks,
Jason

Jason,
Here are a couple of things to think about:
To run within the LabVIEW environment you could make the subVIs reentrant. This creates a separate data space for each instance of the VI. It does, however, mean that you cannot use the subVI's front panel.
The built executables share the LV run time engine so there may be resource contention when you try to open the second port.
I think you should be able to write a program in LV using VIs without reentrancy that will do what you want. Try a simple program which opens Port 1 and then Port 2 using the standard communications VIs (VISA?) and checks for errors. Multiple port stuff is done all the time. Unless the PCMCIA card does not support it. If this works then you could put together a program which monitors both ports as a single port and the port number is a parameter.

How to compare two libraries

I recently bought a 17-inch MBP to replace my old WindTunnel G4 as my primary machine. (The G4 will still be in service as a server.) I'm in the process of bringing my iTunes library over to the MBP, a process that has been made much easier by Home Sharing in iTunes 9. Thank you, Apple, for this feature!
My question is, when I connect to the shared library, iTunes on the MBP shows 41 fewer tracks than iTunes on the G4 shows. With nearly 200GB of music (over 40,000 tracks) in my library, manually comparing the two libraries to determine which tracks are missing would be an exercise in boredom and futility. Is there any automated way, any software, that I can use to compare the contents of the two libraries so I can locate the missing tracks and figure out what's wrong with them? I'm not averse to using Terminal if that's going to be the most straightforward way to do it.

I am in the same boat as you are Mark. I only have about 88G and 16,000 tracks of music (that does not include any video), and in trying to manually compare two libraries from directory listings by hand is not the way to do things. I am also thinking that creating some output listings for the directory is the solution, but the directory structure is not the same, and would require some level of automation for dumping the differences. I am a tad rusty at my unix scripting to say the least, but I guess I could pull out some of the old reference books. Even if a properly specified ls command could give an output format to pull into an excel file? and then be able to do the diff there with some small tweaking ? I've gotten myself into a bit of a mess with this (nothing that can not be resolved with some careful cleanup), but I don't want to have to rebuild another new library from my old master if I could do a diff between the two, so I can add the remaining 10G (estimated) that is missing in the new library.
Hopefully by replying to your thread someone else will spot this and can give an assist.
I am missing a lot more than 41 tracks, I am guessing a few hundred (200 - 300 plus?).
One place to check on the old library is in the unknown folders? (unknown album or unknown artist?) and also to check under what is labeled as a compilations folder.
I think what created part of my problem is that I suspect the new directory structure (part of the new iTunes version) placed on top of the old directory structure (prior iTunes versions - when the orig library was created back in 2003 and then moved to an external device) was something I did not clearly understand or investigate sufficiently prior to starting to move things around. I have not lost anything (i.e. the physical files are all still there in the old master, along with a backup), but certainly the new master is not in full synch with the old master.
I would have preferred to be far less cognizant of some of these things, but as this exercise continues some of this gets unearthed.

How to run two iTunes match libraries on one computer

Does anybody have a work around?
I want to set another library with another itunes match for a friend of mine and sync his music since he doesn't have a interenet connection where he lives.
When I created another library and tried to turn match on under his itunes account it came up with an error stating that this computer is associated with another match account and i wouldn't be able to do any downloads or something for 90 days if I changed the computer to another apple id.
Anybody else tried to do this?
Is this apples way of keeping us from giving other people our music?

If you own a mac and you have paralles then that is the answer.
I knew there had to be a way to do this on a mac.
Don't know the answer for PCs yet though.
