Is it possible to have two sets of itunes on one computer.

hey,
I had a ipod mini and i sent it to the ipod shop to be repaired when it broke. When i got it back i gave it to my sister and bought a new video 30GB ipod for myself. i was wondering how to set up two sets of itunes from my computer and whether it can be done. i used my old itunes and was able to put songs on my new 30GB ipod but when i logged into my computer in another account and tried to put songs from a different itunes on the mini ipod it wouldnt let me. im very confused and im not sure what to do. The mini ipod doesnt have any songs and is brand new. i want to know a way that i can have a seperate itunes for the mini ipod and a seperate itunes for the 30GB ipod.
thanks

Hi Tigerlily89,
welcome to Apple Discussions,
I would suggest that you don't have your iPod set to automatically download all your contents of iTunes to your iPod, this way you are free to control what goes onto each of your iPods from the same Library.
When your iPod is connected to your computer and appears in iTunes goto Preferences iTunes and select iPod. You should see a little box at the bottom with words Enable Disk Use.
Tick this box.
You should see that your iPod's contents in iTunes has now turned black rather than grey. This means that you can now manually drag songs out of your iTunes Library onto your mounted iPod icon on the side of your iTunes.
Eject your iPod via the little eject symbol to the right of your iPod pic in iTunes.
Now connect your Mini to your computer and wait.
Now drag from your main iTune library whatever you wish into the iPod Mini little pic.
You can delete whatever you want to off your iPods by just clicking on the icon then viewing the contents of the iPodusing the top right Browse button.
Hop this helps you.

  • Is it possible to have two apple id's on one computer?

    I have an ID and my daughter has one as well. I would like to share music with her. Is this possible if we both have our own ID's? Essentially I want to connect both of our Ipods to my computer and keep all of our music in one place.

    Is it possible to have two versions of Muse on one Machine?  WhenI open Muse from my program menu in WIndows 7 it comes up the way I am used to.  I did an upgrade a week or so ago and now I have an Adobe Muse CC 2014 on my desktop.  WhenI open the application that way the GUI interface looksw totally different, more like Illustrator.  What is that all about?

    Since posting the above, I have resolved a sensible work-around in regard to ebookstores which prefer us to have separate accounts for our separate Adobe IDs.
    However, I really would appreciate it if anyone here can confirm that a DRM controlled book does actually become associated with a particular Adobe ID account at the time of first download to Digital Editions on that PC/device.
    Two large book stores have said using my account with them to download books to our two separate Adobe IDs is OK, but I don't want to find my husband is unable to open his downloaded books.
    Thank you folks for any advice you can give,

  • CAN YOU HAVE TWO I TUNES ACCOUNT ON ONE COMPUTER?

    CAN YOU HAVE TWO I TUNES ACCOUNT ON ONE COMPUTER?

    The problem with making separate accounts is that this is a laptop, so likely not a huge hard drive, and if the three iTunes libraries need to have a lot of the same music (because everyone or two or three like some of the same stuff) you end up with double or triplicate copies of the music on the hard drive eating up drive space. Since they don't use his laptop normally, creating more accounts (with all the associated files and drive space usage each account would eat up) it probably isn't worth it.
    Instead, the best approach is like Chris said, to make playlists for the girls in the main library and then set up the various iPod to either sync everything (if big enough) or sync only specific playlists (if not big enough).
    Alternatively, they can set their iPods to manual syncing and then when Dad is visiting they can hook up their iPods and "shop" the library and drag in whatever they want to add to the iPods and delete what they no longer want.

  • Two copies of iTunes on one computer?

    A pretty stupid problem, but I can't figure it out. It appears that there are two copies of iTunes on one of our computers--or at least, iTunes somehow displaying two different profiles. If I have "start iTunes automatically" checked, when I connect the iPod, iTunes opens, and it shows the location of the Library file as on the workstation's local HD. Conversely, if I use the shortcut icon on the desktop to open iTunes, it points to a Library location on a network shared drive (which is where I want it to be).
    I cannot for the life of me figure out where the two copies, if they exist, of the iTunes.exe file are located. The Properties for the shortcut iTunes icon is grayed out in the "find Target" box. I can find one copy of iTunes in the local c:\Programs\iTunes folder. Control Panel Add/Remove Programs list shows only one iTunes program. Is there any way to figure this out?

  • Is it possible to have two encrypted time machines on one partitioned hard drive?

    I am trying to use encrypted time machines for two macbooks (15" and 11") with only one USB hard drive. The problem is that after creating one encrypted time machine for my 15" in a separate partition, the hard drive does not work when plugging it into my 11".
    What happens is that I am prompted to enter in my encryption password for the 15" time machine on my 11". I enter in the correct password but it does not work (i.e., password fail). The interesting part is that when I plug the hard drive into my 15", I am asked the same thing, but the password entry works.
    This is my current setup for my 1tb usb hard drive:
    1) 400gb for data
    2) 400gb newly encrypted time machine for my 15"
    3) 200gb unencrypted time machine (with old 11" time machine backups) for my 11"
    The hard drive is formated/partitioned in RAID format.
    All I want is to be able to have two encrypted time machines for each macbook on one single hard drive. Previously I was able to maintain two separate time machines (unencrypted) on this hard drive. I decided to try and encrypt both but seems like I am getting something wrong.

    I am prompted to enter in my encryption password for the 15" time machine on my 11".
    If I understand correctly, you want to mount the other partition. Are you prompted to do that? Does the password include any characters other than plain letters and digits? Are you using the same keyboard layout on both machines?

  • Is it possible to have two tax percentages attached to one SAP MM material?

    Dear Guru's,
    Let me explain the challenge; the underlying company sells a finished product (A) containing different (let's say 2) materials (B and C) in a box. The product is bought from a vendor for an amount plus 21% VAT. The products in the box have a different VAT: B has 6%, C has a 21% VAT. The box will be sold again to the customers of the company (we are talking wholesale here!). The company wants to pass this tax advantage through to her customer. Which means two different taxes calculated for one finished product...
    How to solve this in SAP? Do you recognize this question/ issue?
    Please let me know if you recognize the problem. Anything will be of help.
    Many thanks and reward points,
    Raymond

  • Can you have two apple id accounts on one computer??

    Hi all
    Can you have two seperate apple ID accounts on the one computer?? Imessaging wont work between two iphones if both iphones (husband & wife) use same apple ID account. any help appreciated

    Yes, you can. Apple IDs are really not meant to be shared.

  • Is there a way to have two apple ID's on one computer/iTunes.

    My wife and I both have iphones and we have a Mac.  Is there a way to seperate what goes where as far as contacts, podcasts, etc?  Everytime she syncs her phone on itunes, all my podcasts get changed/erased and I have to re download them.  Also, my daughter, who has an ipod touch can change my contacts, i.e. delete them.  Is there any way to seperate certain info to certain devices?

    Are you sharing one AppleID or do you have separate IDs?
    If you have separate AppleIDs, then it's easiest to create a user account for each of you on the computer, and log into iTunes with your respective IDs on each account.  This will keep everything separate.  There is no problem authorizing content for multiple AppleIDs on the same computer.
    HOWEVER, you can only re-download, auto-download, or use Match for one AppleID *per computer* (not per account), and this can only change every 90 days.
    If you share an AppleID, then in principle, you can sync both devices to the same user account, but it's difficult to separate contact lists, so it's still easiest to have two user accounts, even if you use the same AppleID on each. This will allow you have separate contact and calendar lists; however, you will NOT have the option of syncing them to the cloud (make sure to turn this option OFF), as having a single AppleID would cause them to merge.

  • Is it possible to have two node locked licenses in one machine for running two sessions of synthesis/implementation?

    Hi,
    I have 2 node-locked licenses for Vivado. 
    I have installed one of these licenses in one server. It allows me to open more than one Vivado sessions. But I can run synthesis/implementation in only one session.
    I want to be able to run synthesis/implementation simultaneously twice in the same machine.
    Is it possible to install the 2nd license in the same server? If so, will it allow me to run 2 sessions of synthesis/implementation side by side and how do i install that?
    Thanks

  • Is it possible to have two different address books on one user account ?

    I currently have my address book on my mac however I would like to IMPORT an address book that I saved from our family reunion which was stored on someone else's macbook. I would like to keep this new address book separate from my own on my mac. Every time I try to Import the saved Address book, i get a message that says that if I import the new address book it will replace the old one...which is not what I want to do. Also, I do not wish to create another user account just to assign an address book to it.

    Multiple iDevices with one computer

  • I have multiple apple devices mainly used between me and my wife , my question is that can i have two sets of contacts backed up to icloud one for her devices and one for my devices using the same itunes account

    i have two sets of devices one ipad, iphone and mac which i use and one iphone ipad and mac which my wife uses
    now is it possible to have two sets of contacts and calendar synchronised for her devices and one for my devices using the same icloud account
    i dont want a separate itunes account as we use the same music books and apps to be automatically downloaded which is very convenient
    please guide

    You can set up different iCloud accounts on each device using different Apple IDs (to keep your mail, calendars, contacts, etc. separated), and still share the same iTunes account (in Settings>Store on your device).  There is no requirement that you use the same Apple ID for purchases and for iCloud.

  • First-time user of IPod Shuffle, my husand has an IPod Touch and has hundreds of songs already on his ITunes account. If Is it possible to have two ITunes accounts so his music is not automatically loaded onto my new Shuffle?

    Just bought an IPod Shuffle; my husband has an IPod Touch and has hundreds of songs on his ITunes account.  Is it possible to have two different accounts on the same computer to prevent his music from being loaded onto my Shuffle?

    When you say "iTunes account," I think you mean iTunes library.  An iTunes "account" is what you use to sign in to the iTunes Store (your Apple ID) and purchase songs (and other media).  The iTunes library is what you have on your computer, with your songs and playlists.  That is what you use for syncing iPods.
    You can have a separate iTunes library.  If you create a new user account on your computer (using Windows) and log in to that user account, iTunes will create a new iTunes library for that account.  In fact, Windows will keep ALL of your documents separate, as if you are using a separate computer.  That is probably the best way to keep your songs in a different iTunes library.
    You can also create a separate iTunes library in the same Windows user account, if you use this procedure to switch between iTunes libraries
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1589
    Also, you can use the same iTunes library, and decide what songs you want put on the shuffle.  iTunes does not automatically put songs on the shuffle, unless you tell it to do so.  This document explains how to load content on shuffles
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1719
    NOTE:  If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  When connected, your shuffle appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES.
    FYI - There is a link to the shuffle user manual on this support web page for the shuffle
