More then one itunes on same computer?

My sister and I have our own iPod nanos but we share the same computer. Is there a way to have two itunes on the same computer? Or are there any suggestions on how to manage our music separately, since we have no intentions of sharing music with eachother (we have very different tastes in music)? Thanks!

There are actually a few methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
Just to summarise what's in the link above:
Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries.
Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library: Loading songs onto iPod automatically
Another option when using a single library is to set one or both of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod
You can read about Windows user accounts here: Using Windows XP User Accounts

    Can you have more then one Itunes account on your computer?

    Yes. (One of my systems has music purchased from two different iTunes accounts in its iTunes library.)

  • HOW DO I USE MORE THEN ONE ITUNES WITH MY IPHONE WITHOUT ERASING MY MUSIC?

    I have two different laptops with iTunes on it. I use both of them but my iPhone only works with one iTunes. I plug it into the computer and it says that my iPhone cannot use more then one iTunes. Is there a way I can use both or no?
    YES I AM CLICKING MANUELLY ADD SONGS TO MY iPhone.
    I just bought my iPhone about a week or so ago.
    Please help ASAP.

    I clone my library to a portable drive using SyncToy 2.1, a free tool from MS. I run this both at home & work so that I essentially have three identical copies of my library for backup redundacy, any of which I can use to update my iPods and my iPhone. I use iTunes Folder Watch occasionaly in case I've managed to download, for example, a podcast at one location but overwrite the library with a newer copy updated at the other. It can be done but you need to take considerable care...

  • HT204150 can you have more then one itunes account on an icloud?

    can you have more then one itunes account on an icloud?

    I Have two iTunes accounts because I spend half the year in Canada and other half in U.S.
    I Just  switch the country. I have to do this because an iTunes card purchased in the U.S. Is not valid in the Canada store. And Vice Versa.
    i Also have two icloud accounts. That is what I don't know about.
    Do I need two? Can I have all my purchases in each country under one account?

  • How to sync more than one iPhone on same computer?

    I have multiple iphones under my family plan as well as iPad2.   I use one iMac mainly for my business & to update my iphone 4s, and the older intel imac  to update the other devices. 
    When we try to update/sync we get info from the last person who synced their iphone which is info that the other person may not want. 
    How does one set up two different 24" Imacs running Lion so that each person's iphone etc. is recognized and contains just their info when opening/syncing to iTunes. 
    I think I read somewhere that each person needs their own apple ID no./account? 
    If so, how does having each of us with their own account ID work if we all use the same computer?   
    Do we need to set up separate individual user accounts and when that person wants to sync to itunes they would log out of which account the computer is and log onto their own account before trying to sync to itunes?
    Thanks
    Bob

    It's easier if each person has their own AppleID, that way when the connect they can login to iTunes as their Apple ID and their apps, music, etc.. will sync. The only other way I know how of doing it is create user accounts for each of the people logging into the computer and then they will be forced to used their own AppleID's. To create accounts for each person go to System Preferences - Users & Groups and add users by clicking the + at the bottom of the column.
    BTW PLEASE complete your profile. We have a tough time helping if we don't even know what version of OS X you're running and what iMac you have. You can easily do this by clicking Your Stuff in the upper right then click Profile and add the pertinent information.

  • Can you install more tha one Itunes account ona computer.. 2 ipods?

    My girlfriend and I share a computer and I have an itunes account and library on the computer, can she use her ipod on my account, or does she need to set up her own account?
    Can 2 itunes accounts be set up on the same computer, and how would I do this?

    Can 2 itunes accounts be set up on the same computer, and how would I do this?
    Yes, they can,. Just make sure you log out between sessions. Each of you would just create a separate account. Or you can have one account. Its up to you.
    Probably best though to have two separate accounts.

  • Using more than one ipod on same computer

    My sister and I are sharing a computer. She already has ITunes uploaded with purchased music. I am using an ipod Mini, which my computer reads, but ITunes does not. Does it matter that we share one computer and one ITunes store? My ipod says "Do Not Disconnect", but never transfers songs or shows up in ITunes. Please help!

  • Syncing to more then one iTunes

    Hi.
    I have an iPhone 6 syncing to my iMac via iTunes for MAC .
    (All except Music )
    Music is syncing in my PC via iTunes for PC .
    Is it possible to add password to the iTunes PC to prevent access to my iPhone 6 preferences ?
    PS
    In my PC I have another old iPhone 4 also and for this iPhone (4) I don't want any Password .
    Any help will be appreciated .

    Steve,
    Not yet, but keep an eye on something called Airfoil.
    http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/
    It can currently play audio over iTunes on your computer as well as to an AirPort Express.
    The down side is there will be a 1-3 second delay between what you hear from the computer and what you hear over AirTunes.
    Multiple AirPort Express support may be a future feature.

  • Why is there more then one of the same icon in launchpad? And how can i remove it when there is no "X"?

    In my launchpad there is:
    2 iDVD icons
    3 iMovie icons
    2 iPhoto icons
    2 Garageband icons
    When i press and hold one icon the start to "jiggle" but theres no "X" on them.
    How can i get all of them down to one???

    I can also confirm this issue with iDVD anyway.  I did a clean install of Lion and reinstalled iDVD from a retail iLife '08 DVD, then updated via software update.  I have two iDVD icons in launch pad but only 1 iDVD app in the applications folder.  Note that the version of iDVD I have is the latest, the same version that shipped with iLife '09 and later boxes of '11. 

  • Newbie question about using more than one Ipod on same computer

    Hi everyone,
    I finally got into the Apple world this year with a new (16 GB) iPhone. Love it. I've now ordered a Nano as well. My question is: though I know that my iTunes will recognize the Nano as a different iPod, will I be able to transfer the music I purchased from iTunes store with my iPhone and iTunes to the Nano? If so, how?
    Thanks

    will I be able to transfer the music I purchased from iTunes store with my iPhone and iTunes to the Nano?
    Music currently in iTunes can be transferred to the iPod nano the same way it was transferred to the iPhone. Content on the iPhone needs to be transferred to iTunes first.
