HT1495 Multiple logons for one computer and multiple devices trying to use one itunes account.

I have one computer with a logon for Kids and one for Adults.  There is a touch and nano that was added to a single itunes account tied to my email on the adult logon and the shuffle that is on the kids account.  I can't seem to get the multiple devices access to all the songs with out erase and re-sync error message when not using the right device on the assigned logon to the computer - why and can we change this?

It sounds like each Windows user has it's own iTunesLibrary.itl file.  If that is the case, then you are correct, the correct device must be connected when logged in with the correct login.
If all Windows logins share an iTunesLibrary.itl file... then it does not matter which login is used or which device is connected.

  • My daughter received an I phone for Christmas and we set it up using my iTunes account.  She just received an iPad and wants to set up her own iTunes account.  How do we do that without lsing all of her content that she added to my iTunes account.

    My daughter received an I phone for Christmas and we set it up using my iTunes account.  She just received an iPad and wants to set up her own iTunes account.  How do we do that without losing all of her content that she added to my iTunes account. I have home sharing on my account.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If she creates her own iTunes account she can't use any protected content purchased under another account. She can play unprotected content synced from an iTunes library on a computer, but she can only download content from the cloud that is purchased under her account.
    It's a pain I know, but the longer you put off the move, the worse the situation will become.

  • Synching with more than one computer and attempting to delete more than one

    Rage is not the word. I have been having the worst time with this thing! UGH! 1st I have more than one computer that has different music on each, but this thing will only sync with 1 and delete anything from another library already added. CRAZY! Second I wanted to rip my cds to my computer without being connected to the internet and itunes won't recong the music added at a later time. I have to be connected to the internet for it to Id the music as I am ripping...CRAZY! Then I was attempting to delete the duplicated music that was not Id and it would only allow me to delete one song at a time...CRAZY! Is there a way to have this thing synch with more than 1 computer? Delete songs in a group and not everything in sight. If so how and if anyone has any remedies for the rest of this craziness I would be most appreciative. I took me forever to even figure how to get to the point to post this. I beginning to feel very sorry I bought this thing. I thought I could rip my cds, and use my work and home computers to synch with it. Please someone tell me I wasn't wrong for making this assumption. Will I be able to sych with other ipods? I bought this thing thinking I could was I wrong. I haven't even attempted that yet. I have an 80 GB ipod

    "I have more than one computer that has different music on each, but this thing will only sync with 1 and delete anything from another library already added"
    You can't "sync" that is automatically update an iPod from multiple libraries or computers. If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply.
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing content manually on iPod
    "I have to be connected to the internet for it to Id the music as I am ripping"
    That's correct, iTunes (and other music programs) downloads the information from an online database that contains the details of many thousands of CDs.
    "Delete songs in a group and not everything in sight"
    Click on the first track you want to delete in a list, hold down the shift key and click on the last one, this highlights everything in between. Press the delete key
    "Will I be able to sych with other ipods?"
    What do you want to sync with other iPods, iTunes? You can't sync one iPod with another, you can only update from iTunes. If you are adding a second iPod for your own use, just connect the new iPod to your computer and follow the on screen instructions. It will update from your existing library. Depending on the size of your library and the type of iPod you choose you can have it update all songs and playlists, selected playlists only or you can manage it manually.

  • How do I take Final Cut Pro off one computer and move it to a new one?

    I'm using Final Cut Pro Academic, and I can only run the program on one computer. If I'm getting a new computer, how do I move the program from my old computer to my new computer? Is there a way to "deauthorize" my old computer? If there is, I can't seem to find it.
    Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Doug

    Excellent! Do I need to do anything to ensure the the program installs on the new computer? Do I need to make sure the computer is connected to the Internet when I uninstall the program from the old computer?

  • I just got a new computer and need to add it to my Itunes account how do I do this

    I just bought a new computer and I need to add the computer to my Itunes account and cant see to figure it out.

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases: FIle>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything form the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.

  • One computer and two different ipods...

    Hello,
    Currently, I have a Macbook Pro and an eighty gig ipod. My girlfriend has a 30 gig ipod as well. Our plan is to share a computer and have different media on our ipods. We like the same music but she wants to have pictures on her ipod and I do not.
    Is it possible to have two ipods synced onto one computer where the eighty gig ipod is strictly music and the thirty gig is a combination of music and pictures? Will this be overly complicated or an easy thing to do?
    Thanks a lot,
    Jonathan

    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 - Mac
    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
