Itunes for two (or more)?

Just got my Nano today, and want to know if I can share the previously installed itunes that my daughter has been using? When she plugs her ipod into the computer, it automatically downloads her changes from itunes. How does it work with two or more units? Let's face it, I don't want her music and she doesn't want mine. Thanks.

OR you could each make separate playlists for each person and only have each individual playlists selected for each ipod. http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial/ipgettingstartedt2.html
or for more on using manual mode http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial/ipgettingstartedt3.html
Another option would be in Windows every windows account gets it's own itunes library.

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.

WHERE clause creating a join for two or more tables

The CS3 Dreamweaver book says that the WHERE clause can
create a join for two or more tables. The join was created, but the
data is repeating. I have searched the web and this forum and have
not found the answer.
My Master page filters the recordset by Style No and when a
customer clicks on a particular style, it sends him to the Detail
page. All the records are showing from all tables on the detail
page from the Dynamic List, except they are showing multiple times
(ex. Size table has 4 sizes and Color table has 2 colors - my Size
Drop Down list is showing 8 options and my Color Drop Down List is
showing 8 options) I have a Master Page with a recordset pointing
to a Detail Page using the same recordset.
Master page works perfectly.
Master Recordset SQL:
SELECT products.itemID, products.category, products.styleno,
products.name, products.description, products.ourprice,
products.imageTH, products.image, coloroption.color,
sizeoption.size
FROM products, coloroption, sizeoption
WHERE category = 'chefcoats' AND
products.styleno=sizeoption.styleno AND
products.styleno=coloroption.styleno
GROUP BY products.styleno
ORDER BY styleno ASC
The Detail Recordset:
SELECT products.itemID, products.category, products.styleno,
products.name, products.description, products.ourprice,
products.imageTH, products.image, sizeoption.size,
coloroption.color
FROM products, sizeoption, coloroption
WHERE itemID=colname AND products.styleno=sizeoption.styleno
AND products.styleno=coloroption.styleno
I tried using the GROUP BY on the detail page, but then it
only showed one size and color from the dynamic drop down list. I
tried changing the field name "styleno" in the other tables to be
unique, however, I was using the table identifer. I tried using the
JOIN command instead of the WHERE clause and that didn't help
either.
On the detail page, the customer is supposed to click on the
Size box and see sizes XSM - 6XL ONLY ONE TIME. and then be able to
click on the Color option and see White, Black, Red ONE TIME.
Is this possible?
Thank you for giving your time to read this.!

I have a problem, my wife has an ipad with photos , emails etc etc, she has recently got herself a new iPad Air, has now been using that for two or more months, more photos (new) more emails and other stuff. What she wants to do is get all she wants from ipad 1 to new ipad without finishing up with 2 of everything which happen on previous occasion. I realise that she needs to tidy up ipad 1 first and get rid of thousands of emails etc. I need help.

When we did iPhone thru same process finished up with two of most things pics and emails. The emails alone were over 2 thousand and wife reluctant to delete them all. I would and just sort pics.

Vertically sync time position for two or more 2D axis systems?

In DIAdem: VIEW,
Is it possible to vertically sync the time position for two or more 2D axis system charts placed above each other?
I have displayed several channels on one 2D chart, and one channel of particular interest on a separate chart above, which was very easy to do. It would be really useful to sync the time position on both charts, such that scrolling one chart also scrolls the second chart, or zooming one chart also zooms the second chart to the same area, which seems like a fairly basic thing to want to do, but I haven't found a way to do it yet.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Brad,
Yes, I have been using that method, which works fine up to a point.
But, say you have several curves displayed on the bottom chart, with the Y-Axis set to "n Y-axes", then the start of the x-axis will be further across to the right than the top chart which has only one curve displayed.
It is possible to add an empty area to the left of the top chart, to push the start of the x-axis across into alignment (see attached), but every time you add or remove a curve on the bottom chart, or the scale changes enough to add a digit, the start of the x-axis moves and the top chart needs aligning again.
I'm really after a method to lock both ends of both x-axes to the same vertical screen position, so everything stays aligned automatically?

Problem running iTunes for two users on same computer, one works fine, the other keeps locking up and shutting down iTunes

I have two users on one computer. I have iTunes set up for both users. For one user (mine) iTunes works just fine. For the other user (my wife), Itunes opens up but then locks up and shuts off. Any suggestions? Thanks

ITunes library - two (or more) computers, one external library

Hi, apologies if I've posted in the wrong place. I hope someone will be able to point me in the right direction with this.
Basically, I have two computers, iMac and Powerbook, and want to create a big iTunes library on an external hard drive that I can access on both computers. Home sharing is out, given that they are on different networks.
I've worked out how to do this, but any ratings etc. that I do on one computer aren't recognised on the other.
I am going to keep one copy of the library etc files on my iMac so that iTunes will continue to function without asking me to choose a library every time. But is there any way of keeping a copy of this file on the hard drive too, that will update automatically when any changes have been made to ratings etc?
I know I could just copy it across and overwrite it every time I change anything, but is there any way of doing this more easily?
Many thanks

Normally, I would have said this couldn't be done. But I recently started using a product that might just be able to do it.
The product is Dropbox (http://www.getdropbox.com). Dropbox defines a folder on your hard drive as a syncing item. Anything in that folder will be automatically copied up to Dropbox's servers and then downloaded to every computer registered to the same Dropbox account. Dropbox uses one specific folder to do this, but you can use Symbolic Links to files outside of your Dropbox folder to make those files sync. Dropbox is free up to 2GB.
Theoretically, this should work: load Dropbox on each computer. On your main computer create a symbolic links that point to your iTunes database and preference files. Drop the symbolic links in the Dropbox folder. Go to the other computer and replace the iTunes database and preference files with symbolic links that point to the cooresponding files in your Dropbox. That's it.
As long as only one copy of iTunes is open at any time, this ought to work. I wouldn't try to sync your actual music files through Dropbox, as those will fill up your free space fast. But you said the actual library was going on an external drive that was net accessible from both boxes.

One iTunes for two different iphones

Renaming Tracks Freezes iTunes for Two Minutes

I am not sure if this is an iTunes 8, Windows XP (I suspect so), or an iPhone 2.2 software issue.
When renaming audio tracks in a playlist on iPhone 3G, for instance by adding a zero in order to
correct a sequence of tracks in a playlist
iTunes freezes for about two minutes.
I assume this is the time it is taking to sync the change, although, there is no other indicator
that there is a syncing process going on.
This may also be a similar symptom to: iTunes 8x (Windows XP) seems to take an inordinate
amount of time to recognize the iPhone after plugging into the USB2 port.
Thanks for any advice

If you copy these two files over to her account, they will be exactly the same.

Please help - unable to sign into iTunes for two weeks

Hi,
This is my last resort I've been through iTunes support and they referred me to this forum. For 2 weeks I've been unable to sign into iTunes. I cant do this on my MacBookPro (OSX 10.5.8) or my iPhone. It just hangs and then I get the error: 'We could not complete your iTunes store request. The network connection failed. There was an error in the iTunes Store, Please try again later'
I've re installed iTunes, had my password reset and have called my ISP and found out that there is nothing wrong with my network connection. I'm having no other problems with connecting to sites, sending emails etc, only with iTunes. And prior to two weeks ago I had no problem signing in. Please if anyone has any suggestions it would be great as apple seems to have given up on me.
Thanks very much!

ITunes for two users on one Mac. Will iTunes 7 compute?

iTunes experts!
I am at it again with iTunes on the same topic I had back in June of 2006 (see thread link below). It would appear that upgrading to iTunes 7 snuffed my neat little set up, though everything still works with iPhoto.
I've had iTunes 7 for a while now, but am just now trying to get the problem fixed. I reset the permissions to my iTunes library which I have in a shared folder (harddisk/users/shared/iTunes/iTunes Library). I toggled back and forth on my two accounts (mine and my girlfriends) to see that it was working again and it was! ... for about a minute, then it cut and read me the same message on her log on:
"The iTunes library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file."
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2538271#2538271
Isn't there a way that two users on a Mac can have access to the same iTunes library on iTunes 7. Please help!
Gryphen

... okay, this was weird, but I half figured it out, and it half corrected itself... I think.
I went back into the second user account and accessed the iTunes library alias I had put in the account (linked to the main library in the shared folder). It came up just fine. ... now everthing works fine.
Before, I was just openning iTunes from the dock icon.
I don't know if my verbage helped anyone understand anything, but hey, I have the same music, shopping cart, and playlists on both user accounts accessible without a need for syncing. I am happy.
Adios!

ITunes for two users

My fiance and I both use our new iMac for our iPods. We would like to have one compilation of music, but also be able to share it and have different items on each of our iPods. I read the "directions" from this site on how to do it, but it doesn't seem to be working. Anyone done this successfully? If so if you could give me step by step instructions, my fiance and I would be so greatful!!! Thank you in advance for your help!

When the iPods belong to different people, there are basically three ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
a) Sharing a single iTunes library
b) Creating Multiple Libraries in a single user account
c) 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
Loading the iPod shuffle differs slightly but it can still be used with the others, for details have a look at this page: Adding songs to iPod shuffle - Mac
Multiple Libraries
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 -Mac
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

One single account for two or more devices??

I'm about to buy the new iPod Touch 4. I really liked the last version of iPod Touch 3 and I became a big fan of it. So when I knew about the new iPod 4 I start to think to "upgrade" my old iPod Touch 3.
I'm wondering if there's any way to transfer all my apps that I bought in my iPod 3 to the new iPod 4 and keep my account intact. The old one I'll give it to one of my little brothers and I'm wondering if I have to reset the iPod in order to transfer my account to the new one.
Thanks for your time and help!

I'm wondering if there's any way to transfer all my apps that I bought in my iPod 3 to the new iPod 4 and keep my account intact.
Just sync the new iPod, using the Transfer Purchases command in iTunes while the older one is connected if the purchases aren't in the iTunes library.

CProjects - Partition for two or more groups on the same system

Hi,
Our business requirement for cProjects implementation is such that we have two groups (two companies infact) under an umbrella brand. We have already impemeneted cProjects for one of them. It's time now to have this implemented for the other group.
How can we ascertain that there's a partition in the system by which one group is completely independent of the other? One group should not see the projects/data of the other group and vice versa. Authorizations to projects helps but in a system, a user can fetch (in project search) the names of all projects in the system (irrespective of whether one has authorization). How can we take care of this?
Summary:
We are looking for the ssytem where one group of cProjects users works in the system as if it were the only group working. We intend to ensure the same for the second group as well.
Please suggest.
Regards...

Hi Zhenbo,
You get points for the "very helpful answer". Thanks.
I have not been able to make a complete breakthrough though. Please see if you can help.
There are three steps under "Structural Authorization"
1. Create Authorization Profile: I see this defined in my system (comes from HR)
2. Save user in SAP Memory (IMG has enough documentation on this.
3. Assign Autorization profile to users: Here, I assigned one of the "Auth. Profiles" to the user (myself). At this, I see that the system (cProjects front end) returns an empty list.
This means that the system expects the Business Partners, pertainig to that "Auth. Profile" (which I set in step 3 above). And because it does not find any, it returns an empty list.
What I am not looking for is:
How to bring in the Business Partners (we are using the HR Master Employees) under this "Auth. Profile" such that the system picks them when we do a resource search at cProjects front end?
So... what I am looking for is: relation between this "Auth. Profile" assigned to the user and the Business Partners corrresponding to this "Auth. Profile".
Please see if you can help.
Regards,
Bittu.
