Multiple devices with different song lists

I use a PC for iTunes and I recently got a new iPhone. Even after doing the backup before plugging in my new iPhone, I somehow managed to lose the 1000+ songs that I had uploaded from CDs onto iTunes. Long story short, I followed instructions to try to recover it, but it is gone. All I have is 100 or so "purchased" songs on my iPhone.
However, I still have all the missing music on my iPod shuffle.
If I plug my iPod into the same computer, will iTunes transfer all my music from my iPod so I can put it on my iPhone? I am afraid it will sync with the music I have left on iTunes now and I will lose all that's on the iPod.
Thanks.

1a You won't be able to re-use your me address.
1b No you could save the content if done correctly (iTunes is not iCloud)
2 No, you won't be able to re-use your me address.
3 The me addresses on a single account can all show up on a device or none show up on a device depending on whether mail syncing is on or off, you can't have some addresses on and some of on a device.
I believe you have two choices.
You can both use your existing account and could sync all the things like calendars etc etc, you can have your email address and your husband could have an alias, but you would both see each others mail (and it's not overly clear which is which)
You can keep your account, he can start his own, that way you would each have your own email address without seeing each others. You can add his account to yours as a secondary account and just turn on syncing on calendars, contacts etc, he could do the same with your account. iTunes isn't iCloud, so you could both use your existing iTunes account and keep access to all your music, movies, apps, books etc. The only thing you couldn't share would be photostream, which is rather unfortunate but there.

HT4914 Can you use iTunes Match on multiple devices with different apple id's ?

I have multiple phones with the same iTunes ID but they have different apple ID , will the iTunes Match work with all my devices ?

I've got the latest version of iTunes & it's supposed to be able to be enabled under top panel "store" then appear down left side panel to subscribe. Which makes me think that it musn't be able to be used if you're running XP as it's not there....

ICloud for multiple devices with different IDs

I presently have a MacbookPro (10.7.2), iPhone (5.0.1), and an iPad (5.0.1) all on iCloud, linked by my former MobileMe me.com account, that is now my new iCloud ID. No problems with these three.
What I would like to do (I think, read on...), however, is link my husband's iPhone and MacAir to the same iCloud account, as we share all key programs (calendar, contacts, photos, music, etc) except Mail. We were previously synced up
He has not upgraded his computer to Lion or his phone to 5.0.1 yet, but before we do that, I'm trying to figure out how we can make them all work together, less Mail, which I believe would mean setting up a new iCloud ID that we use for everything.
My questions are:
1 - Is it possible to reset my computer, iPhone and iPad that are already on iCloud to a new iCloud ID/email address, and if so, would I a) lose access to my old MobileMe me.com account that is presently acting as iCloud ID, and b) lose content from the programs (contacts, iPhoto, iTunes, etc)?
2 - If above is possible, if we create a new 'official' iCloud ID that we use on all devices in the family, would I be able to retain my old MobileMe me.com address, as I've used it for years and have too much saved in mailboxes to easily let it go?
3 - Also, would the joint syncing of all devices mean that all of my email addresses would be on his devices and vice versa, or would that be controllable (example, if I have new iCloud ID, old MobileMe, Yahoo, etc and he has new iCloud ID, AOL, Hotmail, do all show on both devices??)
If I am making our sharing of applications more complicated than it should be, please enlighten me. We basically just want to be able to have the same master contact list, calendar, iPhoto and iTunes libraries, Apps, etc..
Thank you!!!!

One library with multiple devices with different accounts?

Here is the setup:
*(1) Windows XP PC with iTunes and (1) Library
*(1) iPhone and (1) iPad with iTunes Account A
*(1) iPad with iTunes Account B
*(1) iTouch with iTunes Account C
Is it possible to have one iTunes Library where we can all have our music (all we use really - no videos, etc) and can drag and drop among the different devices as we please? If so, how can this be done? If it cannot be done, what is the next best thing and how do you do it?
(All devices are sync'd manually - we just drag / drop.)
MANY thanks for your assistance.
DJP

Hmmm, thought I did that but ran into issues...Will give it a harder look.
Thank you for your reply, tt2...BTW, I've been reading these forums for awhile now and your replies in other posts have helped me so thanks for all of them, too...

How do I turn on iTunes match on multiple devices with different apple id

I purshased iTunes match but how do I activate it on other devices that use different apple iD

settings > itunes and app stores > turn it on.

Can I Turn off iMessage in a group text with multiple people with different devices? There's 1 person in the group text that doesn't use iPhone anymore and they can't see any messages that are sent unless we send as regular text individually.

Is there a way to turn off iMessage for a group text that includes multiple people with different non-apple devices? When a message is sent, only the iPhone users can see the iMessage. Those without them cannot see the texts unless we send individual Text Messages or turn off iMessage completely.

now I have this and it still doesn't work.

Can I use iCloud to sync two devices with different apples Ids?

Can I use iCloud to sync two devices with different apple ID's

What do you mean by "apple ID"? There's an ID you can use at the iTunes store to buy songs, apps, etc. there's an ID you can use for your iCloud account - the two can be different or the same. So which service are you referring to when you talk about an apple ID?

Multiple devices with the same GUID

Hi,
According to the Zenworks Command line utilities reference https://www.novell.com/documentation...a/bb15p2z.html
There exists an option to register a device with a new GUID by doing the following...
register (reg) [-g] [-k <key>] [-u <username> -p <password] <ZENworks Server addressort>
Registers the device in a Management Zone.
You can use the following options:
g - Lets you create a new device object with a new GUID and password for the device if you have multiple devices with the same GUID. When you register a device by using this switch, all the associations (policies and bundles) assigned to the original device object are removed. You cannot use this option to create a new GUID for a Primary Server or a Satellite device. The local user must have Local Administrator rights to use this option.
I would like to know if it is possible to have such a command line option for the agent installation. So built into the agent installer, a command line option to force the agent to register with a new GUID.
We are having CONTINUOUS problems with the above scenario. When we move devices from one computer lab to another and re-image the device, Zenworks keps trying to assign the same GUID to the device and this mixes up our Dynamic Workstation groups, which then affect the applicable policies to each device.
I would like to know if there is an option to tell the installer to stop remembering the GUID and simply register the device with a new guid on agent installation.
This way we can build that into the post imaging scripts which install the zenworks agent.

Hi Craig,
OK, I've had a look at the ZCM Reconcile rules and run a few tests to see if it is possible to get the machines not to reconcile (use a new GUID after imaging).
As I have explained before, sometimes this result is desired in our case especially when we move machines around from lab to lab.
So far, no matter what configuration I use, I cannot get Zenworks to generate a new GUID for a device that is getting re-imaged (without doing so only after the fact by unregistering the machine and reregistering the machine via the zac und and zac reg -g).
We use dynamic workstation groups to assign policies and bundles to machines so reconciling the devices is not necessary most of the time. We need an option to tell the machine to register with a new GUID on installation of the agent. Surely such an option can be built into the agent installer?
The options in the ZCM config management "reconcile settings" I tested with are:
Serial Number - Unticked/Unselected
Mac Address - Unticked/Unselected
Machine Name - Unticked/Unselected
Enable Differentiation - Unticked/Unselected
I then also tested:
Serial Number - Unticked/Unselected
Mac Address - Unticked/Unselected
Machine Name - Ticked/Selected
Enable Differentation - Ticked/Selected
and also:
Serial Number - Unticked/Unselected
Mac Address - Unticked/Unselected
Machine Name - Ticked/Selected
Enable Differentation - Unticked/Unselected
With all three different configurations, I re-imaged the same machine, which renames the machine via the first post imaging installation script to match the DNS name. Thereafter the Zenworks agent gets installed, which then renames the machine back to what it was registered into the Zenworks database with on first installation.
We need a method of telling Zenworks NOT to reconcile when we want it to. It should not reconcile every time and thereby rename the machine netBIOS name.
Is there any way to achieve this?

The same thing could apply if bringing in new Hardware.
If a new computer were to replace an old computer but the name stayed the same, everything could be automatic depending on the rules setup.
It is all a matter of how you tell ZCM to reconcile devices.
The Help in the ZCC under these items should explain how it works so you can setup your rules to meet your use cases.

Multiple Orders with Different reasons on a Single day

Hi,
I am recently learning Device Management of IS-U Electricity. Now I have a problem with meter reading orders generated at the time of periodic meter reading with reason 01 and different system generated orders with reasons like 22, 21 , 16 and 11 which are the orders get created internally based on device replacement and modification.
If the scheduled meter reading date lies on the day or the day before of device replacement or modification, the meter reading for the periodic order is getting prorated based on the meter reading entered at the time of replacement or modification. This is what I dont want.
Is it possible to have multiple orders with different reasons on the same date? Any configuration changes are welcome.
- Arghya

Hi,
You can acheive this using following config changes.
SAP Utilities --> Device Managment -->Meter Reading --> Meter Reading Order -->Order Creation --> Define Automatic Interpolation for Meter Reading Reason.
Uncheck the 'Auto Interpolation' flag for Meter Reading reason 01.
This will not use the Replacement or Modifiaction read.
Let me know if anything more is reuiqred.
Thanks and Regards,
Ranjit Thakur.

When importing a CD, the CD Lookup Results dialogue box came up and I choose the wrong CD title. Now iTunes is importing a different song list than the one on my CD. How can I retrieve the CD Lookup Results to choose the correct title?

When importing a CD, the "CD Lookup Results" dialogue box came up and I choose the wrong CD title. Now iTunes is wanting to import a different song list than the one on my CD. I've shut down my computer and opened iTunes from the hard drive Program Files and tried to import the CD again with the same problem. How can I retrieve the "CD Looup Results" diaglogue box to choose the correct CD title to fit the song list on my original CD?

You might also be able to do it without importing the songs again I think. Just highlight the tracks, right click them and choose "Get Track Names". This feature only works on CDs that were imported via iTunes.

Design a single template for multiple reports with different column order

Hi,
I need to migrate the existing reports from SQL Server Reporting Services to Crystal Report 2008, and the column order in the report is very important to the clients since clients have existing code to ingest these reports into their database. Now I want to create a single template with lot of parameters for all reports. My question is how I might use one template to create multiple reports with different column orders in the reports?
For example, client A has the following column order in their report: firstName, LastName, DateBirth, SSN. Client B has the following column order in their report: SSN, DateBirth, LastName, FirstName. Can I use one template to create these multiple reports?
Thanks in advance.

-As I mentioned you can find Template Field object in Insert menu of crystal report Designer 2008.
As soon as you select Template Field object you will be able to see a box beside ur mouse cursor. Drag and drop this box at required place. Now when you place this object in report you will get some thing like this "<TemplateField1>" listed under Formula Fields tree. Double click "<TemplateField1>" formula to add your conditions.
-I have not tested it for large amount of Customers. However as the number of customer increases the number of conditions will get increased.
For the customer that want the same ordering of columns you can put those customers under one condition.
    for Example...
          if(?Client in ['clientA','clientA']) then
                    <TableName>.<Field>......
-What do you mean be 40 columns? Do you mean 40 fields or you want to show 40 columns in report? Please elaborate.
Regards,
Amrita

CW2000 ANI Server is finding same devices with different IP addresses

The ANI Sever is finding devices by multiple ip addresses. One devices is showing up as two devices with different ip addresses. It will show up with the loopback under its hostname and also find it by a serial ip address.

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/pd/wr2k/cpmn/prodlit/wk2ke_wp.htm should clear up how ANI works in this case.

Multiple libraries with different desktop shortcuts

I know that iTunes can boot from different libraries by holding Shift while starting. But is it possible to create a shortcut on desktop to open iTunes using a defined library (so I dont have to hold Shift while starting iTunes)?
Like for instance I would like two shortcuts: one that starts iTunes loading my iPhones library and a shortcut that starts iTunes using my iPads library.

As Polydorus says you can't just create a shortcut to the different .itl files as iTunes will always open the last library it used regardless. The next best thing is probably a bit of software such as Libra that lets you switch libraries. I used it briefly about 4 years ago when I was first evaluating iTunes but the web pages shows it has been keeping up to date so it should do what you need.
I don't see a real need for it myself since it is easy to manage multiple devices with one library by creating playlists for the content that you want on each device. Using one library also means that content purchased on one device becomes easily available for the others. That said, I might try it out again as I do occasionally need to switch to test libraries when I'm trying to examine some of iTunes' quirks.

Synching across ios devices with different content

Hello,
I am trying to assist a user at my company with synching his music content accross his devices using iTunes match.
I want to validate that music pulled from CD from his iOS devices will or will not be deleted.
Basically he does not have his home pc anymre that was used to download many songs from CD and put into iTunes. However, he has an iPad that contains those songs (as well as songs from iTunes) plus an iPod that may or may not contain music from CDs.
We have enabled itues match via his work computer and we saw that it uploaded his purchased songs to match, however when we turned on Match from the iPad, its say that it would replace the songs that were on the device. Our concern is that the music from the CD's will be lost and just replaced with his purchased music.
Essentially, we want the music from iTunes, Cds (on the ipad) and his iphone to all be stored and synced with iTunes Match accross all devices.
thanks!

Thanks. Is there a way, then, to share music and apps across devices with different Apple IDs? Or does all music need to be purchased separately. I'm asking because my daughter has lots of music and apps on an older device that were purchased using her mom's Apple ID, but is now ready to have her own account on her new device, but would like to keep the music she's accumulated.

BO xi 3.1 u2013 schedule a template for multiple reports with different column

Hi,
I need to migrate the existing reports from SQL Server Reporting Services to BO, and the column order in the report is very important to the clients since clients have existing code to ingest these reports into their database. Now I want to schedule a single template with different parameters for all reports in BO, or create a single template with lot of parameters for all reports. My question is how I might use one template to create multiple reports with different column orders in the reports?
For example, client A has the following column order in their report: firstName, LastName, DateBirth, SSN. Client B has the following column order in their report: SSN, DateBirth, LastName, FirstName. Can I use one template to create these multiple reports?
Thanks!

Hi,
The only approach I can think of is to create a template report which uses variables
For each column you would need to variable
v_columnAName and v_columnAValue
v_columnAName would have a if statement in it
=if([client]="clientA" or [client]="clientC";NameOf([firstName]);if([client]="clientB";NameOf([SSN]);NameOf([lastName]));
v_columnA would have a if statement in it
=if([client]="clientA" or [client]="clientC";[firstName];if([client]="clientB";[SSN],[lastName]));
This would only work when you had a small set of clients.
This might be more managable if it was done in the universe

Alan
