Multiple ipods but only one computer

Hi all,
I have just bought 2 x ipod touch 1 for each of my children, is it possible to have 2 totally separate accounts with itunes so when they synch the ipods they don't interfere with each others apps/music.
any help will be greatly appreciated.
by the way I am an old stick in the mud so i may need lots of help.
many thanks in advance
Keith

The most easiest way is to create 2 accounts for your kids with the window computer,

I have my ipod backed up on multiple computers but only one recognizes all my playlists. How can I get all my play lists to show up on multiple computers?

If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply.
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod
If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting to a different computer if your current one is out of commission. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it.

Multiple ipods users and one computer

Our household has several iPods but use one computer. I just purchased a new iPod and when I connected to the computer (Windows XP) it allowed me to identify my ipod but sunced the other ipod user's music. I'm lost - how can I or can I maintain 2 different syncs?

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 - Windows
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: Loading songs onto iPod shuffle - Windows
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 Shift key (or the Option key on a Mac) 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 -Windows
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
I don't use Windows so I can't give you a step by step on that one, however I can point you to another web page which should help you out. You can read about Windows user accounts here: Using Windows XP User Accounts

Home sharing is turned on on both of my computers but only one computer is showing the icon.

I have both of my computers turned on and home sharing is turned on on both computers as well but only one computer is showing the icon so I can't share. I have tried turning off the home share and turning it back on but nothing changed.
Any suggestions?

Hi Ann,
Please check whether there are duplicate custom headers in your code.

Multiple Ipod users for one computer

How do you set up Itunes for 2 Ipods running through one computer/Itunes?
Thanks!

If both iPods have all the same music in their iTunes libraries (or if they're using the exact same iTunes Library) and both have the option selected to Sync All Selected Songs ... then they'll both have everything on them.
If you go by the two user accounts method, make sure the iPod is set to sync only selected songs/videos/etc, and then that ONLY the songs, etc, they want are selected.
If you use the playlists method, make sure that each iPod is set up to sync only the playlists they want. Personally, I'm using the playlist method for my two iPods. The other iPod's in the house use yet another method that is much more complicated and involves creating multiple iTunes libraries for the same account.
To answer the question of the "Privaledges" question, I think you were trying to go by the two accounts method. If so, the account installing iTunes has to have Administration rights. But once it's installed once, you can RUN it from multiple accounts without installing it again. Just browse to the iTunes.exe file and run it in the other account. When it runs, iTunes will probably load with an empty Library.
This happens because iTunes just created a new library file in the new account's "My Music\iTunes\" folder. That's a good thing. Then if you go to iTunes Preferences and change the location of the iTunes library to where all the music is, and let iTunes manage your music folders, it will add everything to the new library file.
Now, both accounts have the exact same files added to their independent Libraries. From here, they can Un-click or delete the songs they don't want in their library--just make sure to let the users/kids know NOT to Click "Move to the Recycle Bin". That will delete the file so that neither account can access it. When they delete files the other user may want, they'll have to select "Keep File(s)".
But then, they should have their own private music libraries WITHOUT actually having the music stored in two separate locations, possibly making lots of duplicates and wasting hard drive space. I'm pretty sure in both Windows XP and Windows Vista you can change the permissions of user accounts to where they CAN'T delete files, and that may actually be something you'll want to try if you think they'll just end up deleting each other's music permanently.

Simple certificate expired - multiple webgates but only one down

We have OAM 10.1.4.2 and multiple webgates on different web servers. The certificate expired but only one webgate had problem. Users were able to login to other applications protected by the webgates. All webgates were using the same certificate. Once we updated the certificate in the access server and restarted the access server, other webgates start having problem? Shouldn't all webgates will have problem connecting to access server as soon as certificates expires.
Thanks.

Hi,
I would expect all the WebGates to see the same problem, assuming they do use the same certs. It is possible that they are only checked when establishing the connections to the Access Servers - so they will only see problems when the connections are re-established.

Colin

HT5622 both my 2 children have an iphone and iPads each but only one computer with one apple id( one itune account) is there away to have 3 different apple id's on one computer? and if so how?

Both Myself and my 2 children have an iphone and ipad each but only 1 computer and itunes account( 1 apple id) is there away to have 3 itunes accounts on 1 computer as we are all sick of get each other apps and contacts messages, ect.

Do your children have separate user accounts on the shared mac? They can have their own user accounts with their own AppleIDs, but you could put the iTunes Library into a shared folder, or better an external drive with the ignore ownership option set.

Multiple iPod users on one computer, one iTunes

Need help.
We have 3 iPod 5th generation using one computer and each of us have different tastes in music/movies/games etc. I just spent 6 hours redoing my personal setting to resync my iPod after my son reset it for his tastes. Is there any way of setting up preferences within iTunes for each iPod to prevent or elivate this total waste of time. When adding new music, audiobooks, and/or movies it should be a no-brainer to resync them but it is a total pain-in-the-arse.
Thank you

Multiple iPods / libraries on one computer

Hi All and thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
Until recently I have had three ipods with three different libraries all managed through one computer running Windows XP. I accessed the different libraries by clicking onto iTunes and holding the shift key choosing the required library when the option came up.
I have now bought a new computer running Windows 7 and just can't seem to get the same system running. Basically I can get one library up and running but each time I create a second library and import that one it just overwrites the first library leaving only the second library available.
When opening iTunes in the same way (holding down shift) I get a clear option to 'Create new library' but this always seems to superseed the existing library rather than running seperately.
It's now driving me nuts so any help to solve the problem would be fantastic. Plain English answers would be greatlt appreciated as i'm certainly no expert in this field!
Thanks again!

Wow guys, 276 responses, thanks to all.
Unfortunately with such a huge response I haven't been able to go through them all as yet but i'm sure somebody will have come up with the soltion I need.
Thanks again.

How do I set up multiple IPOD's on one computer?

Hi I have 2 IPOD (kids) and one IPAD (mine). How do I set them up where I can control the content that get's loaded on them independantly? Eg. Some songs I only want on IPAD or vice versa. I currently have all devices linked to one account.

There are a couple of ways you can do this. The following article will help you with whichever way you choose to use:

Multiple iPod Nano's one computer?

I have 3 Nano's in my houshold and each owner has different music interests. What is the best way to manage all 3 using one computer?
Dell Windows XP

Hello,
You can create a playlist for each person. Everybodys music will still be in the library. But this way each playlist will display only the music they want. You can manually or auto sync each iPod to a specific playlist. I have a playlist I update manually for my nano and its pretty easy to search through the library to find want you want.
Hope this helps!

Syncing iPod to only one computer....?

I have an earlier model of the iPod Shuffle with tons of music on it. Recently, the PC that my device was syncd with died, no going back, no fixing it. Since then, I bought a new laptop (PC) and when I connect my iPod to it, I get the message ...can only sync to one computer. Do you want to continue and erase all contect from this device... or something like that. The problem is, silly me did not ever back up my iTunes library on the old PC. Does anyone have any ideas on how to transfer the music currently on my device to the new computer without?
PLEASE HELP

Earlier versions of the iPod shuffle were only designed for use with one library lack the full manual setting that the larger iPods have to safely connect to a different one. You can however still copy the songs from it if you are careful and once the library is recreated it will be safe to sync.
Retrieving songs from a shuffle is a bit different from retrieving songs from a regular iPod. When you connect to your computer you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, your reaction of course is to press "Cancel". As soon as you connect a shuffle and choose "Cancel" when you get the "linked to different library" message the iPod will disconnect. For a shuffle follow this process:
1). On your Windows desktop go to Edit>New folder and add a folder to receive the songs from your shuffle.
2). Download SharePod from this link: SharePod
3). Connect your shuffle to your computer. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. Your iPod will connect but iTunes won't open, the hardware icon should appear in your Windows system tray.
4). Open Sharepod, it should have picked up the presence of your iPod and show all the songs on it.
5). Highlight all your songs in the program window (click on the first song in the list and hold down the shift key, click on the last song and all the songs in between will be selected).
6). Click Copy to PC (the icon is in the top left corner) and choose the folder you created on the desktop or simply drag the songs from SharePod to the folder: SharePod - Copying tracks to your PC
7). When all the songs have transferred close SharePod
8). Disconnect your iPod by right clicking on the hardware icon in your system tray: Safely Disconnect IPod
9). Check the desktop folder and make sure all your songs are there.
10) Open iTunes and go to File>Add Folder to Library, navigate to the folder on your desktop and add the songs.
11). Connect your iPod. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc. Choose "Erase and Sync", iTunes will reload your shuffle with the songs you recovered and link the iPod to this new library.

Multiple iPod users with one computer?

I am the mom who knows nothing, the 21 yr old is at college and started all the ipod stuff on the computer - regular old ipod and the old shuffle. The 18 year old lost his 2006 x-mas present U2 ipod (it was stolen and he can't look at another ipod as he hasn't gotten over the loss). The 12 year old whose b-day it is today rec'd the 2gb nano (the silver $149.00) for her gift and is upset and frustrated as it is the end of her b-day and we can't load one song! We upgraded to the latest version of itunes, we selected the songs from existing library-somewhere between 25 and 50 songs, we plugged in her brand new nano that should take 500 songs and rec'd errors that the songs require a little over 2gb and there's only 1.73gb space on the ipod. I know there's lots of info out there...the 800 number is open from 6am to 6pm, i've looked at the website for 3 hours now...can someone at least point me in a good direction to find out how to load songs on the 3rd ipod in the house? Can she share the songs in the library on the computer from her brothers'? We even added songs from her audio cd's today to the library and couldn't get those on the ipod either.

Post back if you need further help. Please tell your daughter Happy Birthday!
I just thought of something else when it comes to the message about not having enough room. It sounds like some of those songs you tried to sync are in an uncompressed format with very large file sizes. Right click on any of those songs, then "get info". At that point you will find what format & bitrate those songs were imported with, it will say something like mp3 or AAC@128kbps, the number can be different. Post back with that information. When Apple quotes a specific capacity for any iPod, that is based on the average 4 minute song imported in AAC format at 128kbps. AAC@128 to import your daughter's CD's should be fine, so use those import settings when "ripping" her CD's into the iTunes library.
