HT1495 two different apple id's on the same computer

My girlfriend's laptop is about to die.  I am in the process of transfering all of her files over to my computer.  I want to set up my iTunes so that she can plug her iPhone into my computer whenever she needs to...but I want to make sure to keep her informoation seperate from the information for my iPhone and iPod.  What do I need to do to get her iTunes ID set up on my computer and for my content not to mess with her iPhone and vice versa?

The easiest way is to create her own separate Windows user account on the machine, and put her iTunes library there.  You can each then manage your own library, authorize to your own Apple ID, and sync your own device, without any interference from the other.
If you really wanted to run both devices from a single library on a single Windows user account, that is possible too, but is more complicated and more trouble-prone.

  • Can i use home sharing when two different apple accounts are on the same computer?

    will home sharing work when two iTunes Libraries are on the same computer?

    Can you be more clear about what you mean. More detail please.
    Is this the solution you are looking for?
    Log in to both user accounts and launch iTunes. Turn on Home Sharing from the 'Advanced' menu at the top of the screen.
    Leave iTunes running and use Fast User Switching to switch between user accounts. You will notice that each user's library of media is available to the other user and you can copy media from the other user to the current user's account.

  • 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.

  • HT1420 Can you have more than one device with a different Apple ID authourized to the same computer

    Can you have more than one device with a different Apple ID authourized to the same computer

    I think you are using the same Composition Class on both project. On the properties tab, you can change this number (e.g.: EDGE-1637270).

  • Is it possible to run two different apple tv units on the same network and play two different movies off of my iTunes library

    Is it possible to play two different movies on two seperate apple tv units on two tvs at the same time using the same itunes library

    AC is corret you can do that.  It might work a bit better for you if you use a wired connection vs a wireless one for the ATV's.

  • Two different Apple ID's in the same house

    My wife and I have an iMac, MBP, iPhone, iPad and soon to be another iPhone.
    Today I tried to share a song from her iTunes by using Home Sharing.  I do not know what her password was and couldn't get in touch with her at work...so,
    I logged hers out and logged in using my Apple ID and it asked if I want to authorize this computer, I selected yes and it said I used up 2 of the 5 authorizations.
    Not sure I wanted to do this.  I would like for my wife and I to be able to share info on all 5 of our Apple devices.  I'm concerned I messed this up by doing what I did.
    What can I do to get this back or erase the authorization?

    All apps and purchases are linked to your apple ID, so you can't share them across 2 devices that are using different apple id's, it won't work. the purchases that are on your mac at the moment will only work with the apple id they were brought with.
    the only thing thats possible to share is purchased music. you have to first covert it to mp3 within itunes, then your bf can import it into his own itunes library and sync with his phone.

    Purchases are forever tied to the AppleID they were bought with. There is currently no way to consolidate AppleIDs. Sorry.

    Hi Libby,
    Select all three columns of data. All three must be 'regular' columns, not Header columns, and the X values must be in the leftmost column.
    Click the Charts button and choose the Scatter chart.
    The resulting chart will initially show only the first and second columns of data, and the selection will have been reduced to show this.
    Click the gear icon at the top left of the selection and choose Share X Values.
    You should see a result similar to this:
    Notes:
    The values on my sample table contain a random element, so they have changed from thhe first image to the second.
    The chart is as created by Numbers, with two edits:
    Data points have been connected with curves, using the Chart nspector.
    The curves were selected and their stroke increased to 2pts, using the stroke formating button in the format bar.

    actually, unless you take an extra step, the first opened swf will close.  if you want the 2nd to close, the initial receiving lc will send a message to sender that causes the sender to close.
