ITunes with different libraries for different devices?

My wife has an iPod Touch and I'm getting an iPhone; I would like to sync them both to iTunes on the same computer but I want to keep everything 100% separate with the least hassle. There's already a lot of discussion online about different flavors of this issue, but -- with apologies from an inexperienced user -- I don't really understand what approach I should use.
Apple suggests three methods http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1495
Method 1 is create a separate windows user account .... Seems this would work, but I have no other reason to have a separate Windows account so would prefer not to.
Method 2 is to set different sync settings, playlists, etc for each device .... this seems like a hassle.
Method 3 is to create a separate library .... maybe this is the solution for me, but I don't really know what it means. Do separate libraries keep everything (music, video, contacts, apps, etc) separate and distinct? Can I configure iTunes so that it knows to use Library1 with my wife's iPod, and Library2 with my iPhone?
So I guess my questions is if someone can explain to me if Method 3 would do what I want, and any tricks that I need to know in setting it up? Thanks!

Correct. You have to close iTunes first and to shift to the other iTunes library, hold down shift key while opening iTunes. It does keep almost everything separately (you may use the same media file source though e.g. music and Videos and selectively import them to the second iTunes library; organize your photos separately e.g. Different photo folders) except Contacts & Calendars - for Outlook Contacts & Calendars, I believe it also has an option to switch profile/identity so you'll have separate sets of Contacts.

How to switch between different libraries for different iPods?

Hi,
I succesfully created two separate iTunes libraries on my computer (windows XP) for the iPods of me and my girlfriend. But, how can we switch easily back and forth between the different libraries?
The suggested option on http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432 'method three' and bullet '13' does not appear / work....
Regards,
Roy

thanx for replying so fast.
No problem, Roy. : - )
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you this time. : - (
i'd like to know how i can switch between libraries without closing down iTunes.
Unfortunately you can only choose your Library at startup. So the only way to switch Libraries is to close iTunes ...
You might want to let Apple know your thoughts on the matter by submitting this form: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

Separating itunes accounts and libraries for different users

We've owned Apple portable products since the early iPod generations... But things are starting to get complicated. We started with just one device (an 80GB iPod) and then got another (an iPod shuffle)... After that we purchased our first iPhone, then another, then 2 more as they upgraded and got better. Now in recent weeks we've also added an iPad 2 for my husband and an iPod touch for our son... The problem is we're still only using our original single itunes account...
Now over the years we've amassed a huge library of songs and applications which everyone shares but with the creation of iCloud we've run into problems. For example, recently when I synced my iPhone 4, I ended up with all my husband's contacts on it... So I deleted them from my phone the following day. iCloud then kindly also removed them from my husband's iPhone 4S without him so much as plugging the phone into the PC :-/ He was less than impressed.
My 10 year old son has been given an iPod touch for his birthday and wants to 'facetime' and send imessages to his friends and to us... But because we only have the one account, he's using my email address to do it. And because my email address is also linked to my itunes account and my phone, I also receive copies of all his text messages on my phone... and copies of the ones I send to him... Security wise I suppose this could be a good feature to have as a parent... But if it means he's also receiving all the imessages sent to me, we may run into problems in the near future!!
So my question is, is there a way to separate and duplicate our library so that we can divide and share the music and apps we all use, whilst still creating separate itunes user accounts so that iCloud doesn't interfere with our individual syncing preferences?
We only have 1 PC in the house so using seperate computers is not an option for us at the moment... And I've also tried the shift and open function to create a new user for itunes but nothing happened!! Itunes just opened as per normal :-/

Well I thought we had done that, but we still ran into trouble with icloud firstly adding my husbands contacts to my phone then deleting them all from his phone!!
I have solved the problem of the cross texting by adding my son's email address as his in and outgoing server so that's all good now.
I still have the issue of having him on our itunes account... He's been given itunes gift cards for his birthday and he doesn't want to just add them to my account... Nor do I want him to have my password for security reasons!
Any idea how I can navigate that situation? I suppose creating him his own itunes account is the best way to go but again, I tried following the instructions listed online and nothing happened. My itunes account opened as normal. No option to create a new account was given to me... It also means the first time he syncs his iPod, all the applications he has on it now (from the single family account) will be erased and I suppose, he'll have to purchase them all again which would be ridiculous!! :-/

I have 3 iphones, an ipod touch and an Ipad on the same itunes account. should I have a different account for each device? If so how do I get all my purchases, like music on all the devices?

You can sync as many devices as you want to the same iTunes account, there is no limit. You can have the same content on each device or different content, the choice is yours. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, including separate backups. I'd suggest giving each device a unique name, to make things easier.

Can I have two different libraries for iTunes?

I would like to have two different libraries for iTunes. How can I do it?
Regards.

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: Using multiple iTunes libraries -Mac
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.

Are iPads built with different configurations for different countries?

I live in the U.S. but am moving to Brazil. I would like to purchase an iPad here in the U.S. but want to have it set up for Brazil, ie: language, operation, WiFi. Can all of this be done by selecting the country specific configuration at the setup stage?
You can certainly chose the language when you set it up. WiFi is an international standard, no difference between US and Brazil. You can further go into Settings - General - International and select language, as well as keyboards and region format.
Also, Is it possible to order the iPad (to be shipped to me in the U.S.) with packaging material (ie: operation manual, etc.) in the Brazilian Portuguese language?
There is no operation manual included - English, Portuguese, or any other language. You can find the one you need at http://support.apple.com/pt_BR/manuals/.
Additionally, does Brazil have 4G?
I'm not sure, but as of now the only countries where the iPad 4G will work are the US and Canada - other countries that have 4G use different frequencies.

Leave Quota generation with diifferent rules for different countries

Hi,
I have the following requirement need help in achieving this.
Employers must grant 10 days paid leave to employees that worked for six consecutive months from the time of hiring and who worked on not less than 80 per cent of all schedule work days. This paid leave may be taken consecutively or separately. Where an employee's application to take paid leave will hinder the normal business operations, the employer may require the employee to take such paid leave at a different time.
The number of days of paid leave available to employees increases in proportion to employees' length of service as set forth in the below table.
Years of Service 0.5 1.5 2.5 3.5 4.5 5.5 6.5+
Paid Holidays 10 11 12 14 16 18 20
The right to annual paid leave expires after two years. In other words, annual paid leave left over from one year may be carried over and taken the next year only. For example, if an employee is awarded 10 days paid leave after their first 6 months of employment; those paid holidays will become invalid after 2.5 years of employment. Use them or lose them.
Simply put, holidays from one year can be carried over to the next year, but not to the third year. So, if you don't take your leave from one particular year within 12 months of that year ending, you will lose that first year's allowance.
Employee can take leave encashment of holiday leave only when leaving their employer. It is not legal for companies to buy up the holiday leave of those still working for the firm.
In my organization one PSG grouping has been used for all countries, it wont be possible to change the grouping now. In such a case how can we provide different rule for different country without customizing the Leave module.
Do we have to use any PCR for this, if yes which??

Hi,
Use QUOMO Feature to give different entitilement to employees.
Leave entitlement as per seniority can be configured in base entitlement.
Keep validity and deduction period for 2 years by using :Relative postion" option in validity and deduction period table.

Purchasing info records with different prices for different packaging

Hi,
hope, someone can help me.
We have different prices for different kind of packaging, but all the material is bought in the same unit, i.e. kg.
Let's say, usually you buy x kg in a drum, but sometimes you buy y (or x) kg in a bottle or in a bag.
We won't allow variable order units. Even if we would, it's not helpful, because we always order kg.
So the price depends on a criterion - I don't know, which to take. And we want to maintain the different prices in the info records.
Is there a solution?

Hi.
I went through the history of the problem.It seems that your base unit of measure is KG.Also you have mentined that same material is used in various plants.
You need to activate the variable ordering unit 2 in material master. This is present in the materila master Purchasing tab.Also note that this data is maintained at plant level. This will not have any impact on the materials which are presnt in the other plants.
After activating variable order unit in materal master. You need maintains the conversion factors from Order units to Base UOM.(Eg 1 KG = 1 KG, 1BOX = 10 KG etc)
Create inforecord for the material and maintain price in Base unit of measure.
In PO enter the order unit as BOX system will automatically calculate the price of BOX based on the conversion factors which are maintained in the material master.
I belive this is the simple and best solution for your requirement..
If you have any suggestions please let me know

How can i set different font for different tabs/pages

I want to set different fonts for different tabs/pages?
is it possible to do the same? If yes how?
I can change the fonts under tools>options>contents>advanced. but that changes global settings.
tried some add ons too- but that too changes the global settings.
some pages like tweetdeck do not display icons etc properly under custom fonts.
when i check "allow pages to select their own font" tweetdeck shows up fine but a number of other pages show fonts that are too big or some non standard fonts.
Is there a way where i can select site default fonts for some sites/tabs, and custom fonts for other sites/tabs?
otherwise i have to open different sites in different browsers- say i use my custom fonts- which apply globally, and open tweetdeck etc in Internet Explorer or Chrome etc. if i can have all tabs in one window/browser, that would be great.

It's not a built-in feature to override a page's styles on a tab-by-tab or site-by-site basis, but perhaps someone has created an add-on for this?
It also is possible to create style rules for particular sites and to apply them using either a userContent.css file or the Stylish extension. The Greasemonkey extension allows you to use JavaScript on a site-by-site basis, which provides further opportunity for customization. But these would take time and lots of testing to develop and perfect (and perfection might not be possible)...
Regarding size, does the zoom feature help solve that part? In case you aren't familiar with the keyboard and mouse shortcuts for quickly changing the zoom level on a page, this article might be useful: [[Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages]].

Customisation for PO Release (different Values for different Doc Types)

Dear Experts,
I need to configure for PO release procedure where in the Characteristics would be Plant (2 Plants), Doc Type (3 types - Standard PO, Imports PO & Capital PO) and Value (2 stage release: 0-100000 & >100000 INR for Std PO, 0-200000 & >200000 INR for Imports PO and 0-300000 & >300000 INR for Capital PO).
Please let me know where I shoud define the different Values for different Docs for the Release procedure to work properly.
Or let me know the entire procedure for achieving the same.
Regards,
MNP

Hi MNP,
You have to create different CLASSes in IMG with the possible combination of different characteristics,
EX. CLASS EKKO11 - Plant A, Doc type- Std PO, Value- 0-100000 & >100000 INR
CLASS EKKO22- Plant A, Doc type- Import PO, Value- 0-200000 & >200000 INR
CLASS EKKO33- Plant A, Doc type- Capital PO, Value- 0-300000 & >300000 INR and same for other plant
then assign these classes to the respective Release group.

Pixi able to have different ringtones for different callers??

So after about 4 years I finally had to get rid of my trusty Treo 650. I went with the Pixi and just got it a few hours ago. So far I like the phone, but have not been able to figure out how to set up different ringtones for different callers. I am on call with my work and having a distinct ringtone for when work calls me is super important (they showed up as NO CALLER ID on the 650 if that helps figure this out) . Also it was nice having a few other distinct ringtones so I knew right away who was calling and made it easier to decide if I wanted to take the phone out of my pocket to talk to them. So I guess long story short:
1. Does the Pixi support distinct ringtones for different callers?
2. If so where do I set that up?
3. If not does anyone have any idea if this will be something that can/will be addressed in an upcoming software update?
Post relates to: Pixi p120eww (Sprint)

So after playing with my phone some more I figured out how to give contacts distinct ringtones...but I still havne't figured out how to give "uknown callers" (at least thats what the Treo 650 called them) a distinct ringtone. This ringtone is the most important one due to the fact that when work calls me they come up as "NO CALLER ID" (once again thats what the Treo 650 did, been lucky enough to have not been called out in the few hours since I bought the Pixi....yet).
Anyone have any idea how to set up a distinct ringtone for "uknown callers" in the Pixi??

Different aggregation for different Dimensions

Hello,
is it possible to have different aggregations on different dimensions.
I have following situation:
I have a measure per client and day.
I'm interested in the maximum per month from the daily sums over clients.
In the measure properties I can only choose between Maximum and Sum in general but not per Dimensions.
To clearify what i mean here is some sample data.
* * Client A * Client B *
* 2014-11-28 * 7 * 8 * SUM() = 15
* 2014-11-29 * 6 * 8 * SUM() = 14
* 2014-11-30 * 6 * 10 * SUM() = 16 <-- monthly max
* 2014-12-01 * 7 * 8 * SUM() = 15
* 2014-12-02 * 5 * 12 * SUM() = 17 <-- monthly max
* 2014-12-03 * 6 * 9 * SUM() = 15
This data is stored in my fact table with reference to date and client dimensions.
This example data would have to be reported as:
/* Report on measure
* * Measure *
* 2014-11 * 16 *
* 2014-12 * 16 *
* Report on measure per client
(max per client and month)
* * Client A * Client B *
* 2014-11 * 7 * 8 *
* 2014-12 * 7 * 12 *
Can this be achieved with SSAS? Didn't find any property for that on the measure.
Best Regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
According to your description, you want to calculate different aggregation for different dimensions, right?
Based on your scenario, I tested it on AdventureWorks cube, the query below is for you reference.
with member [Customer].[Country].[USA & Canada] as
Aggregate( { [Customer].[Country].&[United States],
[Customer].[Country].&[Canada]
member [Measures].[MaxAmount]
as
max([Date].[Calendar].currentmember.children,[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount])
select {[Customer].[Country].&[United States],[Customer].[Country].&[Canada],[Customer].[Country].[USA & Canada]} on 0,
[Date].[Calendar].[Month].members on 1
from
[Adventure Works]
where [Measures].[MaxAmount]
Here is similar thread with yours, please see:

Different price for different batches

hai, is there any possibility of maintaining differenet prices for different batches.
say for example i put 10 pieces into 1 batch and like that maintain 10 batches.
for each batch i want to maintain different prices.
is it possible.
Thanks in advance

The link mentioned talks about production / proportion units which deals with different conversions for different batches. For example in leather industry, basic unit may be piece but sales unit may be sq feet. And each piece has different area so proportion unit may be used.
But as i understand your requirement is just to have different prices for different batches but the units, conversions will remain the same for all batches.
Maintaining a batch specific price is a standard feature of SD pricing; create an access sequence with field batch (CHARG).
However one potential danger with this is when the user changes the batch, price will not be updated automatically (unlike when you update plant). To redetermine price automatically whenever batch is changed, you can use the exit below.
Include: MV45AFZB
Form: USEREXIT_NEW_PRICING_VBAP CHANGING NEW_PRICING.
Code:
if VBAP-CHARG ne *VBAP-CHARG
new_pricing = 'C'.
endif

Different LOV for different rows

Hi,
Imagine a tabular report with a number of rows, and a select list for each row populated based on data in that row.
I've seen a solution for this in a few threads, but I've tried to replicate it in 4.2.1.00.08 with no success
Select list filter in a tabular form problem
Tabular form - Different LOV for different rows
my query includes this as a column
APEX_UTIL.SAVEKEY_NUM(duration) durationwith another column defined as "Select List (query based on LOV)" using
select apex_util.keyval_num d, apex_util.keyval_num r from dualand while the duration varies, the LOV is always stagnant.
This occurs in both classic & updateable reports (tabular forms).
I was skeptical that it would work anyway, since I'm sure the query is resolved/bound before rendering each LOV - but that's just assuming background process logic.
Is the only alternative solutions to use APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST_FROM_QUERY() ?
Scott

Ahh, I had only tried that on my classic report example. It only seems to have that effect on the tabular form.
Makes me hesitant to use it with that kind of behaviour.
When comparing normal tabular form, one set to generic, and another changed back - I saw no differences in the metadata that I would think have some form of impact on rendering behaviour
APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_RPT
APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_REGIONS -- customization/timeout_cache_after changed, component_signature had trailing 0
APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_RPT_COLS -- lost tabular form attributes, region had lost selector column, in fact I'm having trouble bringing it back to a point where it actually saves data.
