How to setup 2nd itunes librarary on same computer ?

I have a ipod with itunes library already set up . my wife got a ipodnano & wants her seperate library. I am running windows 7

Launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and create a new library, or use separate Windows user accounts.

  • How to manage different iTunes Libraries from same computer

    I have my own AppleID, iCloud account, iTunes Match account and my own Library.
    But I have just one computer and one AppleTV.
    How do I manage my granddaughters accounts, so they can listen to their own libraries on their iPod touch?
    I don't want to mess up login to iTunes with another AppleID and then having to wait 60 or 90 days to log back int.

    The best way is to create ther own accounts on your Mac. Method 1 in the following:

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from the music section of your iTunes library, close & then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • How do I access iTunes on a shared computer?

    My computer died, I am using a shared computer and the other user already has iTunes under his own account.  Is there any way to access my iTunes account on this computer without doing anything to his iTunes?

    yes it is. its all linked. dont you see?
    how do i get itunes on a different computer? is the title of the thread.
    i have the same problem. the computer one of our itunes was on broke. it was replaced. apple dont cater for this. you can only link an apple device to one itunes. so if the computer is replaced, you are stuffed!!
    i installed another itunes on another computer and the original ipod wont sync with it or allow itunes to download the latest ipod operating system.
    the easiest thing to do would be to buy a new ipod (clear of content) and a new pc. install itunes on the pc, create a new apple ID and voila - can then start to put music and apps back on ipod and have the lastest and greatest OS.
    expensive i admit, but surely far less painful then any alternative?

  • 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?

    I'm going to give my old iPad to my granddaughter, I want to create an account for her, but I want to do it on my computer so there are no worries about who is spending credits for that account. Don't know how this will work, or if its possible to two iTunes libraries.
    Okay.
    She's going to use your computer to sync with iTunes.
    Create an new computer login on your computer for her. This will keep her stuff separate and she won't be able to mess with any of your info.
    Log into her computer account.
    Launch iTunes.
    Create a new iTunes account for her. See this -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2731
    You can enter a credit card to create the account then delete the CC info. Or you can use an iTunes gift card and she can fund the account with gift cards instead of using a CC to make purchases. This is an easy way to control spending.
    on the iPad, go to Settings > iMessage > Off.
    Then Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content & settings.
    Once it finishes, plug in the iPad, select it in iTunes and this will set it up as a new device. Enter all your granddaughter's info.
    When she wants to sync her iPad or use iTunes, she needs to log into your computer with her account.
    Then the iTunes library she uses will be only hers.

  • Why can't two different users use Itunes on the same computer with different log ins

    They can, but not at the same time.
    If one user left iTunes running, and another user tries to use iTunes from a different Windows user ID, that second user will get an error message.  If they really want to use iTunes, they either have to beg the first user to log in and close iTunes, or else they have to restart the computer.
    If you are asking the technical reason why, it is something about context switching.

    How can I use iTunes on my new computer, without losing all my music?
    I don't want to rebuy everything I have purchased over the years.
    Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    They should be in your itunes media folder. Use an external hard drive and just copy that to your new computer. I'm sure there's an easier way like this one (iTunes>File>Library>Export Library>External Hard Drive) but I never tried it before. Anyways, once that's done, just simply authorize your itunes account to play music you bought on to the new computer.

  • How do u find itunes files on the computer

    how do u find itune files on the computer mine wont load right

    They are there as iTunes can't find the files. I get what you want to say. Try to remember if you had a hard drive or USB Stick containg Music? As removing it would cause iTunes to look for it. On a PC the iTunes apps and stuff are in Music>iTunes>iTunes Media

  • How do I run 2 ipod nanos on the same itunes on the same computer?

    Hi We now have 2 ipod nanos in the house, one 2nd generation and the other 3rd generation. How do we use the same computer with itunes set up for each nano's music? Many Thanks

    No need to re-import CDs again. As long as the files are on computer in a directory accessible to logged in user then they can be added to library.
    Files added in one library are not automatically added to any other library. Each library is independent of the others except in the case of deleted files. If one library deletes a file from library and disc then the other library will still have entry in iTunes but will have "!" next to it because the file itself is gone.
