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

  • ITunes with different libraries for different devices?

    My wife has an iPod Touch and I'm getting an iPhone; I would like to sync them both to iTunes on the same computer but I want to keep everything 100% separate with the least hassle.  There's already a lot of discussion online about different flavors of this issue, but -- with apologies from an inexperienced user -- I don't really understand what approach I should use.
    Apple suggests three methods http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1495
    Method 1 is create a separate windows user account .... Seems this would work, but I have no other reason to have a separate Windows account so would prefer not to.
    Method 2 is to set different sync settings, playlists, etc for each device .... this seems like a hassle.
    Method 3 is to create a separate library .... maybe this is the solution for me, but I don't really know what it means.  Do separate libraries keep everything (music, video, contacts, apps, etc) separate and distinct?  Can I configure iTunes so that it knows to use Library1 with my wife's iPod, and Library2 with my iPhone?
    So I guess my questions is if someone can explain to me if Method 3 would do what I want, and any tricks that I need to know in setting it up?  Thanks!

    Correct. You have to close iTunes first and to shift to the other iTunes library, hold down shift key while opening iTunes. It does keep almost everything separately (you may use the same media file source though e.g. music and Videos and selectively import them to the second iTunes library; organize your photos separately e.g. Different photo folders) except Contacts & Calendars - for Outlook Contacts & Calendars, I believe it also has an option to switch profile/identity so you'll have separate sets of Contacts.

  • 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.

  • How can i set different font for different tabs/pages

    I want to set different fonts for different tabs/pages?
    is it possible to do the same? If yes how?
    I can change the fonts under tools>options>contents>advanced. but that changes global settings.
    tried some add ons too- but that too changes the global settings.
    some pages like tweetdeck do not display icons etc properly under custom fonts.
    when i check "allow pages to select their own font" tweetdeck shows up fine but a number of other pages show fonts that are too big or some non standard fonts.
    Is there a way where i can select site default fonts for some sites/tabs, and custom fonts for other sites/tabs?
    otherwise i have to open different sites in different browsers- say i use my custom fonts- which apply globally, and open tweetdeck etc in Internet Explorer or Chrome etc. if i can have all tabs in one window/browser, that would be great.

    It's not a built-in feature to override a page's styles on a tab-by-tab or site-by-site basis, but perhaps someone has created an add-on for this?
    It also is possible to create style rules for particular sites and to apply them using either a userContent.css file or the Stylish extension. The Greasemonkey extension allows you to use JavaScript on a site-by-site basis, which provides further opportunity for customization. But these would take time and lots of testing to develop and perfect (and perfection might not be possible)...
    Regarding size, does the zoom feature help solve that part? In case you aren't familiar with the keyboard and mouse shortcuts for quickly changing the zoom level on a page, this article might be useful: [[Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages]].

  • How to get mobile model name for different types mobile devices

    Hi,
    I have checked few thread in this forum about getting mobile model name at server. So far, i noticed the mobile name is set manually in the midlet as user-agent .
    HttpConnection connection = null;           connection = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(url);          connection.setRequestMethod(HttpConnection.POST);          connection.setRequestProperty("User-Agent","Nokia7110 Profile/MIDP-1.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.0");
    i retrieve the header information from servlet like below :-
    String userAgent = request.getHeader("User-Agent");
    How to get mobile model name for different model devices , not by manually adding the model name in midlet?
    Thanks in advance :-)

    Hi,
    In J2ME there is no method to get the model number from the device. how ever you can use the APIs provided by the device manufacturer if available. But still the APIs will not work with devices from other manufacturer or sometimes it will not work with the devices of the same manufacturer if the API is not supported. so it is better to send the device model name through the header.

  • Switching between multiple libraries

    So heres the deal. I have a 30G Video and my father has a 30G Video also. He likes his music the way it is and I do too. I have heard that you can create multiple libraries so you dont have to create different Login names (windows, we both share one computer.) So the thing is, how do you switch between those libraries? I tried just opening the library but all that does is add my library to the current one.
    How can I swith between multiple libraries with ease and without messing any of the music in them up.

    I downloaded a program that allows me to use it, thanks

  • How to switch between messages in the BlackBerry Hub

    With the release of BlackBerry 10 version 10.1, we’ve added a new gesture to the BlackBerry Hub that allows you to quickly switch between your next and previous messages. It’s simple: while viewing a message drag your finger from the left to the right and in one continuous motion swipe up or down.
    For example, in the following screenshot you’ll notice I am viewing ‘Test 08”. To get to the next message, “Test 09”, all I need to do is swipe from left to right (red arrow) followed by swiping up (green arrow) in a single motion. To switch to the previous message, “Test 07”, I complete the same gesture, but swipe down instead (blue arrow).
    Tip: Using a BlackBerry Q10 or Q5? On top of using this gesture to switch between messages, you also have the option of pressing the N key to view your next message, or the P key to view a previous message.
    If this gesture doesn’t appear to be working on your device, verify you are using BlackBerry 10.1.0.4181 or later by going to Settings > About and reviewing the OS Version field. If the OS Version is lower than 10.1.0.4181, check for updates by going to Settings > Software Updates.
    For more details about the availability of BlackBerry 10.1, check out Inside BlackBerry’s post on BlackBerry 10 Software Updates.

    I would set up a variable before you get to that node, lets call it $EmpID and assign to it the value of the prompt you want to play lets say 12345 which would be the library promptID. It will then play prompt, get digits, and once you validate if it goes through the expression that flags it as invalid, in that node re-declare the variable, but this time give it the value of the new prompt you want to play, then sent it back to the node which will then play the new prompt and collect the digits.

    You need the Gaming APP for switching (not Afterburner): http://download.msi.com/uti_exe/gamingApp.zip
    Afterburner is for manual overclocking (for advanced users) if not using the modes.
