HT1349 Can i have two iTunes (mine and my husband's) on the same computer?

My wife has an iTunes account for her iPod shuffle and I can't seem to set up my own for my iPod nano?
When I try and sign in to my account, it freezes up?

There is no device limit for the number of iDevices that can be synced with the same iTunes library on the same computer. Each device can have its own sync preferences with iTunes on the same computer along with iTunes creating and updating a separate backup for each device.
Do you share the same iTunes library and iTunes account? If so, then there is no reason to have separate iTunes libraries. Each device can have its own sync preferences with iTunes. iTunes content can be added to an iTunes library from an iPhone, but iTunes content cannot be deleted from an iTunes library by syncing an iPhone with iTunes.

  • Can I have an ATT account and a O2 account on the same Iphone?

    Can I have an ATT account and a O2 account on the same Iphone? So that when I am in the UK I use the O2 sim card and in the states use my ATT sim card? I would basically have two valid authorized accounts on one Iphone.
    Allan

    I don't believe that the phone would recognize the other sim card as legit. The US iPhone is locked to ATT and the UK iPhone is locked to O2.

  • How can u have lock rotation off and mute feature off at the same time

    How can u have lock rotation off and mute feature off at the same time

    Maybe this will help. The link at the bottom is the same one that was posted above.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Can I house 2 iTunes libraries and sync 2 iPods on the same PC

    not sure if this can be done. I have one ipod/itues on my pc. just bought my daughter an ipod and I'm not sure how to get hers to sync/load. When I plug hers in it opens my iPod library?
    Any instructions would be helpful.

    When the iPods belong to different people, there are basically two ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
    a) Sharing a single iTunes library and or user account or
    b) Creating multiple user accounts.
    Note: When you are sharing an iTunes library, you don't have to set each iPod to update in the same manner, you can mix and match from the options below as each iPod has it's own update settings
    Sharing a Library and/or User Account
    If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish):
    Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
    Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
    iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    Or you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
    It's also possible to have multiple libraries in a single account. 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.
    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. This can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library:
    Using multiple iTunes libraries -Windows
    Separate User Accounts
    Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists
    I don't use Windows so I can't give you a step by step on that one, however I can point you to another web page which should help you out. You can read about Windows user accounts here:

  • How can I have two different windows up on one screen at the same time?

    How can I have to different windows open on my screen at one time? Kind of like a split or shared screen.

    If you want this split screen thingy for a single app, do like captfred suggests or see if the app itself supports some sort of splitting, like MS Excel.
    If you want to do this system-wide, maybe you can get what you want by activating and using Spaces: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4313

  • Can I have Acrobat Pro 8 and Reader 9 installed at the same time?

    At one time I had installed the trial version of Acrobat Pro 9 but it expired and I had a heck of a time getting it off my system and reinstalling version 8. I've got that all taken care of now but I would like to be able to run Acrobat Reader 9.
    Can I install Reader 9 over (or in addition to) version 8 or will things blow up? After all the pain and suffering of getting it whipped back into shape, I don't want to try unless I know that it's possible without causing problems.
    Please advise. Thank you!
    Jo

    Thanks for your help. I guess I was afraid of what the answer would be. I'll just have to bite the bullet and hope for the best. If it doesn't work well, I just hope it's not a bugger to undo.
    And one of these days I'll just have to upgrade the whole lot!

  • Can I have both iMovie 09 and iMovie 08 installed on the same Mac?

    Hi,
    This question may seem odd, but... I work at a college. In my role there, I provide training for students and faculty using a variety of technologies (including the iLife suite). I would like to purchase and install iLife 09 for my Mac for personal and professional use; however, I also need to maintain iLife 08 applications for training purposes for work. Is it possible to have both versions installed simultaneously?
    Thanks!

    Yes, you can, although Apple does not support the methods shown below. Here's how you can do it:
    _*If you have NOT installed the iLife09 upgrade yet......*_
    a) Open Finder & click on the "Applications folder"
    b) Click on the "New Folder" icon and name the folder anything you want (like iMovie08)
    c) drag the iMovie.app into the folder
    d) install iLife09....you will now be able to open iMovie09 by clicking on the icon in your dock, or open iMovie08 by going to the newly created folder and clicking on the older iMovie.app file.
    _*If you have already installed iLife09........*_
    ----IMPORTANT----
    *MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP OF YOUR MAC in case something goes wrong, such as a recent Time Machine backup so you can restore your files!!!! Also, make sure you have the original installation disks for both iLife08 and iLife09, or the OSX installation disks with iLife08 on it..........*
    a) Open Finder & click on "Macintosh HD", then open the "Library" folder, then open the "Receipts" folder
    b) Scroll down and find the files marked *iMovie.pkg, iMovie_712.pkg, iMovie_713.pkg, iMovie_714.pkg*, etc. You will not have all of those files, and the numbers may be different than 712 or 713, etc. Move these files to the Trash. *DO NOT MOVE iMovie_PreviousFolder.pkg or iMovieHD6.pkg to the Trash if you have them...keep them in the Receipts folder.*
    c) Open Finder & click on the "Applications" folder, then find iMovie.app and move it to the Trash
    d) Open Finder & click on the "Macintosh HD", then open the "Users" folder, then open your user folder (i.e., "Paul"), then open the "Library" folder, then open the "Preferences" folder, then move *com.apple.iMovie.plist, com.apple.iMovie7.plist and com.apple.iMovie8.plist* to the Trash. You may not have all of these files, or you may have different names for your preference files, but as a general rule, any preference files with the words iMovie should be moved to the trash.
    e) Put your iLife08 or OSX install disk 1 in your DVD drive
    f) Double-click on "iLife08.mpkg" (iLife08 install disk) or "Install Bundled Software only" (OSX install disk)
    g) When the "Install iLife08" or "Install Bundled Applications" window appears, click on continue for all the agreements until you get to the "Standard Install" screen. Click on "Customize" and a new screen will appear with a list of all the applications (iLife08) or the words "Bundled Applications" in the OSX install disk, and next to those words is a small arrow....click on that to show the contents of the installation software. Uncheck all boxes except iMovie. Make sure that box is checked, then click on "Install" and follow all prompts to install iMovie08 back to your Mac.
    h) Once iMovie08 is back in your Mac, you will need to move it to a new folder as follows:
    i) Open Finder & click on the "Applications" folder
    j) Click on the "New Folder" icon and name the folder anything you want (like iMovie08)
    k) drag the iMovie.app into the folder
    l) Now, reinstall iMovie09 as follows....
    m) Put your iLife09 install disk in your DVD drive
    n) Double-click on "iLife09.mpkg"
    o) When the "Install iLife09" window appears, click on continue for all the agreements until you get to the "Standard Install" screen. Click on "Customize" and a new screen will appear with a list of all the applications. Uncheck all boxes except iMovie. Make sure that box is checked, then click on "Install" and follow all prompts to install iMovie09 back to your Mac.
    p) You will now be able to open iMovie09 by clicking on the icon in your dock, or open iMovie08 by going to the newly created folder and clicking on the older iMovie.app file
    Hope this helps!

  • Can I replace my itunes library with another user's on the same computer?

    I just inherited a MacBook that has the previous user's iTunes library.  I'd like to use iTunes to backup my iPhone 5s without mixing my library with his.  How can I completely remove the old iTunes library before I sync my phone to this laptop?

    No. The contents of each library is tied to the Apple ID of the user.
    You need to erase the hard drive, reinstall OS X, and set up your own new account. You will need either a retail Snow Leopard DVD or the installer discs that came with the computer.
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • HT1329 i have a ipod nano 3rd generation and my iphone 3gs on the same computer if i move my ipod nano to my laptop and i move all my music to from my iphone to my ipod nano

    i have a ipod nano and a iphone 3gs on the same computer. Can i put my ipod nano on my laptop and put my iphone songs on my ipod nano?

    You can put the songs that on your iPhone onto your Nano as long as these songs are located in the iTunes library on the laptop.  If they are not you will not be able to sync them to the Nano and you will not be able to copy them directly from the iPhone to the Nano.

  • I have two iTunes accounts and was wondering if i can merge them together. I've a new macbook pro and haven't plugged my iPhone in it yet in fear of losing my songs from the previous account.

    I have two iTunes accounts and was wondering if i can merge them together. I've a new macbook pro and haven't plugged my iPhone in it yet in fear of losing my songs from the previous account.

    Go to the Music section of your Library (very top-left corner) and see if your songs are there. The "Purchased" playlist may have been deleted or gotten corrupted, but if that happens it's not a big deal because your music should still be in your main Music Library.
    If your music is NOT in the Music section of your Library, then go to the iTunes Store homepage and find the Quick Links list on the right side. At the top of that list, click Purchased and you can redownload all of your previous content that you might have lost.

    Can I have two Itunes accounts on one pc? One is on our PC now, and I have another on a portable back up. I hope I can.......thanks.

    Yes, you can have multiple Apple IDs within one iTunes copy.
    Note that all purchases will forever be tied to the Apple ID that was used to buy them. You will have to authorize the computer to the new library, as each device can be synced with just a single computer.
