More than one iPod with more than one user

Sorry if this has been asked and answered before. I searched and can't find it.
I have an iPod Nano and my daughter has an iPod 30GB. We both had our own laptops which each had iTunes downloaded onto. Well, my daughter's laptop is no longer working.
Can I access her account for her on my computer without either of our music/videos getting mixed in with the others?
Is there a way to access two seperate iTune accounts seperatly?
Does this make sense?
TIA

Your post makes sense...I'm not sure the answer is going to please you...you can definitely access your daughter's account from your laptop....just sign into the iTunes store under her user name/password. Unfortunately...her purchases/library will not be accessible. This stuff needs to be saved somewhere. The good news is that your daughter can transfer the contents of her iPod back to a computer (probably yours--if you have hard disk space to save it). Here is one way to get the contents of your iPod back on a computer:

This might help (but I'm not optimistic!):

I feel for you...If you don't have backups of your daughter's library/purchases and you don't have hard disk space on your laptop to host her library via the transfer...you may need to invest in an external hard drive big enough that both of you can use it to save backup copies of your libraries!

Can I have more than one ipod with more than music library on one computer

I was just wondering if i could have 2 different ipods (one a 5th generation and the other ipod touch) with 2 different music libraries on the same computer and itunes? because right now im using my parents computer and my fiance is using my laptop and we're moving so we'll only have one computer in the next few weeks. So if anyone could try to give me an answer or have a solution that would be fantastic lol!

See these articles about using more than one iPod on one computer, and with either one or more iTunes libraries.
Multiple iPod installations.
How to use multiple iPods with one computer.
If you have the latest iTunes, an easy way to create a new library is to hold down the 'alt' key whilst opening iTunes (for Macs), or hold down the 'shift' key (for Windows).
This will give you the option of either using the current iTunes library or creating a new one.
There are various methods of transferring different songs to different iPods with a single iTunes library.
One is to manage the songs manually.
With this setting, you can drag and drop songs/playlists etc onto the iPod from iTunes, and also delete and/or edit songs which are currently on the iPod without affecting the iTunes library.
If you wish to keep the convenience of automatic sync, then you could set the iPods to sync with "selected playlists". This setting can be found in the iPod summary screen under the 'music' tab. With this setting, different playlists can be transferred and later deleted from each iPod without affecting any playlists stored in iTunes or the playlists on the other iPods.
Also, on the 'summary' main page you will see the option to "only sync checked items". With this setting selected, if you remove the check marks from any songs in iTunes, they will not be transferred to the iPod. You can restore the check mark if you want to put the songs back on the iPod at a later date.
Be aware that when playing songs in iTunes, any songs that do not have a check mark against them will be skipped over and will not be played.

Can I use more than one iPod with one computer?

Howdy,
I have a (hopefully) quick question. Can I use two iPods with one user account on one computer? Can iTunes keep two different iPods separate with different syncing rules for the same user account and iTunes library? I'm interested in the answer for both Mac and Windows machines.
Thanks!

Can I use iPod with more than one computer?

I have a 60gb iPod w/ color (4th Gen). On my laptop which is my home computer I also have all my music as well as on my iPod. I would like to know if I can put all my music on a second or even third computer so that I can access the music. Also, my girlfriend has a iPod nano. Would she be able to access my music if I put the music on her computer?

How to handle one HU with more batches?

Dear Experts,
Could you tell me how to solve this? Is it possible to realize it?
if it's one HU with one batch, I can confirm the TO, but if it's one HU with more batch, it always gives error message"No stocks from HU storage locations can be managed on SU 7000023417" Message no. L3804.
Thanks!
xinling zhang

Hello,
this message " stocks from HU storage locations can be managed" Message no. L3804. is because the amount of the storage unit is greater than the amount of picking, the solution is:
spro-> logistic General -> handling units -> basic-> warehouse management-> Control automatic pick HU creation.
must create a line with the information necessary
this allows confirmation in LT12, will automatically generate a HU, and there can select the lower HU

How to use an SSD with your HDD
If you are going to use an SSD as a boot drive together with your existing HDD as the "data" drive, here's what you can do.
After installing the SSD you will need to partition and format the SSD using Disk Utility. Then, install OS X on the SSD. After OS X has been installed boot from the SSD. Use Startup Disk preferences to set the SSD as the startup volume.
Open Users & Groups preferences. Click on the lock icon and authenticate. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on your user account listing in the sidebar and select Advanced Options from the context menu.
You will see a field labeled "Home dir:" At the right end you will see a Change button. Click on it. In the file dialog locate the Home folder now located on the HDD (HDD/Users/account_name/.) Select the folder, click on Open button. Restart the computer as directed.
When the computer boots up it will now be using the Home folder located on the HDD.
Another more technical method involving the Terminal and aliases is discussed in depth here: Using OS X with an SSD plus HDD setup - Matt Gemmell. This is my preferred approach because I can select which of the Home's folders I want on the HDD and which I don't want. For example, I like to keep the Documents and Library folders on the SSD because I access their content frequently.
Be sure you retain the fully bootable system on your HDD in case you ever need it.
Just apply this to your situation where the HDD is your internal drive, and the SSD is the boot volume. You can copy the applications from the HDD folder to the one on the SSD. You probably will want to do the same with the /Home/Library/ folder.

Can we perform two actions with one button with two clicks one after other?

Sir,
can we perform two actions with one button with two clicks one after other?
I want that when I click an Add Button first time it add data to the database and when I click again this button it clear the form data to empty fields.
Regards
Tanvir

In code it should be easy.
The following code adds a button called butman with a text "ADD".
It then registers a listener that will be called if the button is clicked.
This listener then calls the runAddData method if you clicked on butman while it contained the "ADD" text and it will call the runClearData method otherwise.
Therefore it will swap the button's functionality between ADD and CLEAR on every click.
final Button butman = new Button("ADD");
butman.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
          @Override
          public void handle(ActionEvent t) {
                    if (butman.getText().equals("ADD")) {
                              butman.setText("CLEAR");
                              runAddData();
                    } else {
                              butman.setText("ADD");
                              runClearData();
                    } // END IF-THEN
          }});I hope this is what you wanted.
Some extra food for thought.
You might want to run the ADD and CLEAR methods in their own threads so that it can run in the back ground, without slowing down your user interface.
I also like to rather reuse one button for multiple functionality in stead of making an application with hundreds of nodes only used rarely with masses of code to show and hide them if needed.

Can i use my ipod with more than one computer?

i synched my ipod with one computer, hooked it up to another and it says i can't sync with more than one library? it says i have to restore it but i dont want to delete my music off of my ipod, i just want to add the music from this other library

I have two different iPods and two computers. I regularly use either iPod on either computer.
First set the preferences so itunes will not automatically sync when ipod is connected.
Then connect the ipod and set itunes to manually manage music.
Drag and drop whatever content you want to the device showing on the left.
If this was the default setup, there wouldn't be all these posts about people losing all their music when they connect their ipod.

Using more than one IPOD with ITUNES?
