Itunes and two different users

I have my own itunes. I bought my husband an ipod, but it wants to use my itunes and my husband does not like my music. How do I set up an itunes for him?

Launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and create a new library, or create a new Windows XP user account.

SunONE Sync Software and Two Different Users

I am attempting to set up a second user on the same shared PC to sync their palm with a SunONE calendar. My problem is that the first persons information that I set up is being displayed.
Is there a flag or some other way to input new user information for the SunONE sync? I checked in help, but I did not find anything there.
Basically, I am wanting to allow one user to sign in on a Windows XP Professional system and sync to their SunONE calendar. Then allow another user on a different log on to the same PC sync to their calendar. I am not finding a way to do this.
Any help would be appreciated.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to make this work with two people trying to sync at the same PC? This is Windows XP and I cannot find any flags that could specify two separate users.

I am using Windows 8 with iTunes. How do I manage iTunes with two different Windows User Accounts?

I have recently bought a laptop running Windows 8 and downloaded iTunes. I subscribe to iTunes Match and have a large amount of purchased music and imported CDs, along with some films purchased from iTunes.
I have downloaded all of the music and the films to the laptop using iTunes Match when logged in under my User Account in Windows 8. However, when we switch to my girlfriend's User Account, she can load up iTunes but all the music and films have the cloud symbol on them indicating that they need to be downloaded
Is is necessary to download everything to the computer twice (I can't really believe this is the answer) or are we missing something in terms of using iTunes with two different User Accounts?
Thank you.

Step 1
Create a new user account on your device. For Mac users, choose “System Preferences” from the Apple Menu and navigate to the “View” menu. Click on “Accounts” and select the “+” button to add a new user account to your machine. Edit the user information and grant any relevant privileges by following the on-screen prompts.
For Windows users, click on the Windows "Start" button, select “Control Panel” and choose “Add or Remove User Accounts.” A new window will open. Click “Create a New Account.” Name the account and set any relevant privileges by following the on-screen prompts.
Step 2
Sign in to the new user account you created.
Step 3
Open iTunes and click “Sign in.” Enter your Apple ID and password and log in.
Step 4
Download purchases through the iTunes store. All files related to these purchases are stored under the separate user account, thus separating both iTunes accounts and their libraries on the same computer.
Step 5
You can share music from both libraries by dragging your music library to a publicly accessible location on your computer. Click “Preferences” from the iTunes menu and deselect “Copy files to iTunes Media Library when adding to library file.” Add the shared folder to your library from the “File” menu.
Tip
Create more than one library from the same user account by deselecting “Copy files to iTunes Media Library when adding to library file” from the “Preferences” menu. Add the files you want to iTunes by dragging and dropping or by opening from the “File” menu and sync your device to that library. Quit iTunes after the sync and reopen iTunes while holding the "Shift" key in Windows or the "Option" key on a Mac.

Can you have two different users with itune accounts on the same computer?

Can you have two different users with separate itune accounts on the same Ipad?

Yes, create another user profile on the computer and each user can log into their own profile that way.

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.

I have two ipods in my house that were set up under the same email. I have since assigned two different emails. How can I change the game center account so that is not shared by both ipods because it is for two different users and they are not happy?

By "game center account", do you mean Apple ID?
If so, you can change it.
1. Tap settings and navigate to iTunes and App Stores
2. Tap "Apple ID" and then tap "Sign Out"
3. Log in with a different ID.

Is there a way to have two different iTunes for two different iPhones on one Windows User account?

Using Windows 7, iphone 4.
I've read as many threads on these forums and as many kb's as I could find, but I sttill can't figure it out. I have 2 iPhones. Let's call them, "wife" and "hubby". I want to have two separate iTunes, one for each of the phones. Hubby is the Windoows User. I don't want to set up a different Windows User for wife.
Hubby was the original iPhone. When I plug it in, iTunes recognized it has Hubby's iPhone. Then I unplug Hubby and close iTunes. I plug in Wife but iTunes stll comes up with Hubby under Devices and syncs Hubby's iTunes to Wife's iphone.
I've tried using the shift key when I open iTunes to set up two separate .itl files to no avail.
Is there a way to have two different iTunes for two different iPhones on one Windows User account?
Thanks!

What happens if you rename the iPhone "Wife" when it shows up as "Hubby", then choose a different set of apps/playlists to sync with? iTunes is supposed to be able to manage multiple devices, each with their own selection of content. Perhaps you "restored" "Wife" with a backup from "Hubby" when you first set things up which is now causing confusion.
To create a new library press and hold down the shift key as you click the icon to start iTunes and keep holding shift until asked to choose or create a library. You need to use the same technique to switch back.

Hi, when I upload music into itunes from a cd it sometimes appears in itunes as two different albums and split up the music in 2 or even three albums....how can i merge these albums...this is particularly true when one album may have different composers?

Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.
For compilations that aren't, select all tracks, Get Info, and on the option tab set Part of a Compilation to No. If it already says No tick the box alongside, then click OK.
For deeper problems see Grouping tracks into albums.

How do I sync iTunes music to two different iPhones on two different user accounts?

I have read some posts and a help article about this, but I need some clarification becuause what I'm doing is not working out correctly. My wife syncs her iPhone and iPod to her iTunes. I recently purchased an iPhone and am going to sync it to my own iTunes on a different user account on the computer. How can I get the music from her iTunes account to sync with my iTunes/iPhone? Whenever I try various routes, I end up with duplicated songs on my end and I'm not sure how it works when she adds music to her account. My wife does all the music purchasing for the both of us and I want the music to sync both ways, but all other content needs to stay separate. We are running iTunes 11 on Windows 7. Any help would be appriciate and I'm sorry if this is a redundent question. Thanks.

I followed the following articles: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203
Here are the questions I have regarding the second article which is not clear to me:
When dragging the media file to a public location, the article says not to move the iTunes folder. Is it Ok that the media file is moved out of the iTunes folder when dragging it to the public location? Is this what I am trying to accomplish?
There is a note about how iTunes for Windows does not, by default, copy items added to the library to the media folder. Am I supposed to check the box to allow this? Do I do the same for all users?
When I change the music folder location, am I changing it to the new public location? Do I do this for all users on the computer that wants to use the same music files?
I tried changing the file location to the public folder, but received a message asking something to the effect of renaming files to keep the library organized. Do I want this or not?
There is another note at the end that says if all users are storing their music in the same public location, then duplicates may appear in the library. Isn't what this procedure is basically doing? Can someone clarify this?
After following this article to the best of my ability, my iTunes ended up with duplicates of everything, even starting off with nothing there to begin with.

We have two ipads and two different itunes accounts, can I sync my wife's apps and she mine?

we have two ipads and two different itunes accounts. can I sync my wife's apps and she mine?

Yes, you can use the apps from both accounts on the same iPad. You will both need to authorize each others iTunes account for use in each others computer account. You may authorize up to five Macs/PCs to use stuff from your account and that computer can then transfer the stuff to up to 10 iOS devices.
Open iTunes in your account and have your wife sign into her iTunes account in the iTunes app. First authorize your computer account to use her iTunes stuff from the iTunes Store menu. Then have your wife download all of the iOS apps that you want to use into iTunes. Now you do the same in her computer account.
Remember that only you can update apps acquired with your iTunes account and vice versa. So you will need to either sign into iTunes on the computer or directly on each others iPad to update any apps that need it. It is a little confusing at first, but you get the hang of it quickly.

How can i join two libraries from two different users

how can i join two libraries from two different users in the same computer?

I should add that you can turn on SHARING where each user can see the other user's library and play stuff out of it. But they can not import those tracks to their own library or put them into their own playlists or burn CDs of the shared library.
Also note, to do this you need to have the fast switching option enabled with the accounts so both can be running at the same time and both must have iTunes running at the same time.

How do you merge two different users on one computer?

I created a user account on my computer, then when I used Migration Assistant to transfer some of the files off my old computer onto my new MacBook Air it transferred them into a new user account. How do I merge the two different users? They are both me.

You can't "merge" users, you have to transfer the files using intermediate steps to deal with Permissions issues.
You found out first hand that you should use Setup Assistant, rather than Migration Assistant to perform the action that is now causing trouble, and time.
1) Log in to the A account.
2) Locate all the files you want to move. Move them to /Users/A/Public. Note: Don't move any System-created top-level folders, like Documents, Pictures, Music, Movies, etc. Just move their contents.
3) Log in to the B account.
4) Navigate with Finder to /Users/A/Public. Drag the files to the Desktop. This will make new copies of them that will have the correct permissions for User B.
5) Put the new copies of the files away in the appropriate places in B's home folder.
6) Delete the A user account if it is no longer needed.
Doing it this way will ensure that there are no permissions headaches with the files after they are moved.
Also, make sure that you BACK UP all of your data before starting.

Same query takes different time for two different users with same privileges

Hi,
Just wanted to know if it is possible for an INSERT query to take different amount of time for two different users for the same volume of data. If so, what could be the reason? I would like to add that we are not executing the query simultaneously. But it is always faster for user1(within 10-20 seconds) and slower for user2(takes around 8-10 minutes).

Show execution plan for each user. I think there is other reasons which you didn't not tell

How to handle an update of the same record from two different user in JSP

how to handle an update of the same record from two different user
how do you handle an update of the same record from two different users in JSP... if one person updates the record from one drop downs should be updated as well.. is the possible.

Usually, if two users try to update the same row at the same time, you want the first to commit to succeed, and when the second commits, they should fail with the error that the row was being concurrently updated. They you may want to show them the new row values and give them the opportunity to merge their values with the new row values...
How can you achieve this? Google optimistic locking.
