Multiple iTunes 10.1 updates in SUS?

Hello, I've got a problem with Software Update Server and the new iTunes. I tried searching the forum and the web but I can't find anything useful. I think the iTunes 10.1 update corrupted my Software Update Service. I got the following messages in the log:
+<Info>: Product zzzz061-9734 is no longer available and has no replacement.+
+<Info>: Product zzzz061-9446 is no longer available and has no replacement.+
+<Info>: Product zzzz061-9734 is no longer available and has no replacement.+
+<Info>: Product zzzz061-9446 is no longer available and has no replacement.+
+<Info>: Product zzzz061-9734 is no longer available and has no replacement.+
+<Info>: Product zzzz061-9446 is no longer available and has no replacement.+
+<Warning>: * Missing version string for product zzzz061-9734+
+<Warning>: * Missing version string for product zzzz061-9446+

+<Info>: Removing: /var/db/swupd/html/content/downloads/20/63/zzzz061-9446+
In the update list I had three iTunes 10.1 entries and one unknown product id. The messages and the unknown product wouldn't go away after restarting the service or even rebooting the entire server.
Finally I reinitialized SUS by stopping the service and deleting contents of the /etc/swupd/ and /var/db/swupd/ folders. Then starting SUS again. This cured the messages in the log, but I still have two iTunes 10.1 updates:
+Product ID: zzzz061-9823 (iTunes)+
+Product ID: zzzz061-9034 (iTunes)+
I've got them both enabled, but clients don't see the iTunes updates. Even though they only have 10.0.1 installed. I get "Your software is up to date".
What's the difference between the two and do I need to enable them both?

Finally got it to work with the zzzz061-9823 update which is also the newest. Server Admin is a bit funky, I was sure I had saved my selection, but it turned out just the one update (zzzz061-9034) was enabled.
Still strange (and confusing!) that there are multiple iTunes updates available though...

  • Using internal software update server (SUS) with iTunes

    We are using an internal software update server (SUS) to manage the release of patches, etc. to our mac clients. There are no known issues with this server or the process. However, it appears that iTunes is still checking Apple's website first for updates, and by-passing our internal server. So we have Mac clients indicating an update to iTunes is available, but when software update is launched, no iTunes updates are available from our internal server, since we have not released them internally yet.
    Is there a setting in iTunes that we can change so that iTunes checks our internal SUS site first?

    You need to look at this from the server side, not
    the client side.
    Open Server Admin, connect to your server and look at
    the list of updates that Software Update has
    available. Specifically check if there are any blue
    warning icons alongside any update. These are updates
    that the server has not yet downloaded from Apple,
    and therefore are not available to clients.
    I've seen this happen periodically on my SUS. The fix
    is annoying, but simple just stop and restart the
    SUS. It should download the pending updates and make
    them available to clients.
    Thanks for the reply. Actually there were blue exclamation points next to newer updates, yet I just waited and the server finished downloading and mirroring them and then they went away. The screenshots above were taken when there were no exclamation points in the software list and when all the updates were available in the list.

  • My old laptop crashed, and took my iTunes account with it.  I got a new laptop, and want to sync my iTouch to my new iTunes account.  It gives me an error message stating that I can't sync to multiple iTunes accounts, but I can't access my old one!  Help!

    My old laptop crashed, and took my iTunes account with it.  I got a new laptop, and want to sync my iTouch to iTunes.  It gives me an error message stating that I can't sync to multiple iTunes accounts, but I can't access my old one! 
    How can I get my new iTunes account to allow me to Sync my iTouch?  The only option it gives me is to "transfer purchases" from my iTouch to iTunes, but that is only about 25% of my iTunes library-most of it is CDs I have uploaded.  How can I Sync without losing all my music from my iTouch???
    Also, I have lectures and photos, etc. on my iTouch that I don't want to lose.
    I've tried a few of the iPod copy programs-the free ones and the ones you have to pay for, but I can't find one that will work for ALL my content on an iTouch.
    Right now, I can't get anything from my iTouch to iTunes, and I can't update my iTouch with my new iTunes purchases, so I'm stuck!  Help!

    Also-I tried to use my backup hard drive, but I wasn't able to drag/transfer/send/move any of my muic files onto my iTouch when the iTouch was connected to my computer.  I can't figure out why it won't let me do that. 
    The only thing I can see when I open my iTouch on my computer is my file with photos.  I can't see videos, music, or anything else.  What's going on?

  • Multiple itune users on the same computer

    Is it possible to have two seperate itunes running on the same computer? My husband and I share a computer and both have ipods. We both have different tastes in music so we would like to be able to access our own itunes instead of having to share a library with all the music together.
    He currently has itunes set up with all his music on the computer at home. I have been running my itunes at work and would like to be able to bring my stuff home. Is this possible?

    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): iPod - Syncing Music
    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: Adding songs to 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 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.
    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:

  • Can you now have multiple Itunes accounts sharing content on one computer?

    Hi - I was trying to find this information on line but cannot.
    The last "big" Itunes update (11.2?) prevented multiple Itunes accounts from sharing content on one computer.  Well, you can, but with consequences. For example, my husband purchased a movie rental with his Itunes account on our computer when he logged on to Itunes, but then I could not download any Itunes content for 30 days when I logged on to my account. I no longer purchase any content from Apple because of this. I was hoping this feature has been discontinued – it prevents households from purchasing Itunes.  We never pirate or steal any content at all. In fact, this feature forces us out of the Itunes universe to purchase movie rentals and music elsewhere.
    Not just trying to complain, really. Legitimately want to find out if this rights policy still exists before we both try to rent or purchase anything from Itunes.
    Thanks.

        "Won't it present problems if the daughter needs to reauthorize the computer for her own use before 90 days,"
    No. The 90 day limit ONLY applies to redownloading purchases from iTunes..
    So if she were to redownload purchases from the father's account then she'd have to wait 90 days to redownload form her own account. and the computer can be authorized for multiple iTunes account (pretty sure it's 5) . You don't need to later reauthorize for first account if you authorize for a different account.
    More discussion on 90 day wait period - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6094005 - disable automatic downloads so message doesn't appear when using multiple accounts.

  • Multiple iTunes accounts

    I have recently tried to shift my iTunes account to a new email address and have found a problem with my app updates.  Since I've purchase many apps over time on an old iTunes account, automatic updates in iTunes are not listed for that account unless I'm logged in.  If I'm logged in with my new account (which has just a handful of app purchases now) iTunes recognizes my apps need updating but only gives me the option to update my apps bought under the current login.
    Has anyone else had problems trying to shift to a new iTunes account like this?  I wonder why you can't be logged in under multiple accounts and get updates to the apps for all that are being used.

    It sounds like you created an additional iTunes account instead of just changing the email address on your original account.  ITunes, the App Store, iCloud - anything that uses an Apple ID can only be associated with one account at a time.  And unfortunately there is no way to consolidate multiple accounts, either.

  • Multiple iTunes Libraries?

    Is there anyway you can have multiple libraries (not playlists) for different iPods on the same computer? We don't want our music to mix...how can I fix this?

    To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Shift key in Windows when launching iTunes. 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. The new library will be empty until you add content to it. To get back to your original library you need to close iTunes and open it again while holding down the shift key, this time choose to open an existing library and navigate to its location. Multiple libraries 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
    Another option is to create a separate Windows account for each person on your PC. Different user 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.
    Apart from these methods there are several other ways to use two or more iPods with one computer, have a look at this help page for all the suggestions and choose the method that suits you best: How to use multiple iPods with one computer

  • Confused about multiple iTunes on same computer

    Hiya- I've read as much as I can on multiple iTunes/libraries/accounts and I'm even more confused.
    I have one drive partition with all my music which I use as my iTunes library. My wife and I each have our own Windows logins/accounts and access iTunes from each account (sharing the same music folder). This is what I want to do: when I add newly-acquired music to iTunes on my Windows account (i.e. drag new albums onto iTunes and have it copied to iTunes library), I want my wife's iTunes to automatically update its library to see the new albums I've added.
    I hope that makes sense. I'm either over-complicating this issue and there's an easy/obvious solution or it can't be done (?) Thanks for any help.
    .

    Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    As I see it the scenario is this:
    An iTunes Library at C:\Users\<User1>\Music\iTunes
    An iTunes Library at C:\Users\<User2>\Music\iTunes
    both of which point to media at some shared location which for the sake of argument we shall call <Shared>\iTunes Media.
    (I've assumed <Shared> is not either of the first two folders, neither of which contain a media folder. If the assumption is false post back and I'll give different instructions)
    In this case choose one of the two libraries to be "the one" which both accounts will use from now on. Copy the contents of the iTunes folder from that account into the <Shared> folder. Click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and continue to hold down SHIFT until asked to choose or create a library. Choose the library file in the <Shared> folder. Test that all works well. Close iTunes. Since your <Shared> folder is unlikely to be called iTunes, the main iTunes window will probably have had a weird title just now. Create a new folder called C:\iTunes and move everything iTunes related from <Shared> into it, i.e. the library files called *iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb, sentinel* and the *Album Artwork* and *iTunes Media* folders. You can delete any .xml files as one will be recreated automatically. Now use the SHIFT-start-iTunes method to open the library at C:\iTunes. Test that all is still well. Close iTunes, switch profiles, use the SHIFT-start-iTunes method to open the library at C:\iTunes. Hooray, both profiles are now using the same library. Any updates you make using one profile will be visible when you open the library with the other.
    One possible drawback. If you use the fast user switching method to flip between accounts then you have to remember to close iTunes before swicthing otherwise the second user will find the library is locked.
    You might also find the following tip useful:
    *How to use multiple iPods with one computer*
    The Apple support document How to use multiple iPods with one computer suggests a number of ways. I use method two (Sync with selected playlists) with a slight twist. Rather than regular playlists I set the grouping field to indicate which users should receive which tracks and create smart playlists based on the content of this field.
    e.g.
    "Alice's Tracks" is "Grouping contains Alice" + "Kind contains audio"
    "Bob's Videos" is "Grouping contains Bob" + "Kind does not contain audio"
    Tracks that both Alice & Bob want on their iPods have the grouping set to "Alice/Bob"
    etc.
    I currently manage our family's five iPods using this system, each getting a different selection to suit their tastes and the capacity of their iPod. An advantage of using the grouping field is that it is stored in file tags (for non-wav audio files anyway) so that it is relatively easy to recreate the playlists should the iTunes library get trashed. Also useful if you move files about manually as playlist membership is preserved when you delete & re-import the tracks.

  • Is it possible to set up multiple iTunes accounts on a single computer?

    is it possible to set up multiple iTunes accounts on a single computer?

    If you do it with a single user account, you will receive update notifications for purchase made on both IDs regardless of which one you're using at the time.  That's slightly frustrating as you get the notification BUT you can't actually update!  In any event, separate user accounts on the computer is the cleaner way to go.

  • Using multiple iTunes accounts on one iPhone

    I have a personal iTunes account & a work iTunes account -- I realize it's possible to sync my iPhone with both of these accounts via iTunes, but is it also possible to access both of these accounts from my iPhone to allow for direct purchases form the App Store on my phone, or do I have to pick one account for my phone & stick with it? Thanks!

    Sorry, but wjosten's reply is incorrect, as you are not asking about using the iPhone with different computers, only different iTunes Store accounts on the same copy of iTunes (all on the same computer), Right?
    You can use multiple iTunes Store accounts with one copy of iTunes - i.e. one iTunes library with content from both your personal and work iTunes store accounts. Content from both will also sync to your iPhone.
    re: the question you ask about whether you have to stick with one iTunes store account on you iPhone - since iPhone OS 3.0 it has been possible to swap accounts on your iPhone. The only issue - that I know of - that this can cause is situations where the badge notification for applications that need updating on your iPhone can be misleading if you have Apps on your phone from more than one iTunes account.

  • ITunes will not update to 12.0.1 on OS X Yosemite

    I've been trying to update iTunes since the release of 12.0.1 on OS X Yosemite on my Macbook Pro 13 Retina, October 2012.
    It says the update has installed multiple times successfully, however, it has not updated iTunes (iTunes is still version 12.0.0.140). When launching iTunes, it asks to be updated.
    The App Store update tab always lists iTunes to be updated even though it also lists it as having been installed multiple times. I've tried redownloading the update and it never works.
    Please assist.

  • Multiple iTunes on 1 computer?

    My wife and I both have iPod nanos, but we listen to very different music. She has her iTunes on her work computer and I have mine on my computer. My question is, can we put two separate iTunes on 1 computer? Otherwise, I'll have to add all of her songs (around 1,000) to my library and uncheck every single one of them every time I want to update my iPod.
    I also have an external hard drive, can I load an instance of iTunes on there and then a separate one on my computer? Or will it just open mine by default when the hard drive is connected to my computer?
    Lastly, I bought our iPod's last Xmas, would they be first generation or second generation? How can you tell the difference?
    Thanks in advance.

    You only need one instance of the iTunes program on your computer and there are better ways to manage multiple iPods than unchecking songs. There are basically two ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:

  • How do I consolidate multiple Itunes folders on one computer?

    I had a mishap with my external hard drive (I didn't know how to use it properly..yup USER ERROR!) so I have three different Itunes folders intertwined in my music folders with different previous Itunes libraries.  I made a backup of the entire music mess on a flash drive, have a new computer and finally an ipod to put my music on... 
    Can someone give me some detailed steps to be able to consolidate all of my many Itunes libraries and let me know how I can access the music in my previous Itunes libraries?  I want to make sure that I still have the rights to the music that I purchased in the past.  I had some music in the Itunes cloud which is great but not nearly all of it...DRATS!
    I found some steps to consolidate music from different computers onto one but I'm not sure that the same steps apply to my situation.  Here are the links that I was looking at in eHow:  http://www.ehow.com/how_5704389_consolidate-multiple-itunes-libraries.html  and  http://www.ehow.com/how_8149083_can-itunes-libraries-two-computers.html.

  • How can I share only the same music with multiple iTunes accounts

    Hello
    I hope someone can help. [I am using Windows Vista (Unfortunately J) and iTunes 10]
    I am trying to share the same music library with multiple iTunes accounts. Basically, I want to know if there is a way to automatically upload to other libraries when importing new music into my library, vice versa. [Better information below]
    Me, my sister and my dad all use iTunes (on different iTunes accounts), and before now we used to have are own music on our own windows user. Due to many duplicates and a loss of hard drive space I have brought an external hard drive and organised all the music.
    It was all going well - I first populated all the music onto my iTunes, exported the library, and then imported it on both the other users. However! Because this is only a copy of the library, when I try to import a new CD, it will not show up on there’s until I “Add File to Library”! Originally I thought about using the same library however we each have are own apps etc, that we don’t want to share.
    If you need anymore information please ask!

    Hello roaminggnome
    Unfortunately the support is down at the moment, I will have a better look later. I did go though the Apple support previously, however I found nothing that worked.
    The first thread I came across was “Home Sharing” however no mater what I did, it did not appear in the iTunes sharing list (I did go though the “Show Sharing Networks” support as well)
    Secondly, I saw “Using A Single Library With Multiple Accounts On The Same PC” (Something like that) but all this did was let us share the same music location, if I was to rip extra music, it will not show in there library

  • Have found multiple iTunes Library.xml files. Moved Library to new Hard Drive and it needs to be completely rebuilt?

    Hello. I have a Mac Mini operating Mac OS X 10.7.2. I recently had to move my iTunes Library to a new hard drive. I followed the directions on how to move the library and refind everything yet when I do so what comes up is a mere skeleton of what I had. I have had to hunt down my purchased Apps, Music and Movies and re-add them to the library. I also noticed in doing this I have multiple iTunes Library.xml files ... shouldn't there only be one?  If so how do I clean this up without doing any accidental damage (i.e. how do I find the one that is being used and delete the rest?)?  If I delete the others is there any risk of losing purchased content? Lastly syncing my iPads has become a nightmare as I get the "This iPad is currently synced to another iTunes library" message. Obviously something

    It's hard for me to picture the exact situation. It sounds like you still have your library file on the internal but some files on the external, and maybe some on the internal, some of which are in the library and others not...  By re-adding things after consolidating it may have made things into a hodge-podge. Yes, that article you referenced says: "iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder"with Media Folder being the emphasis.  You probably should have just moved your whole iTunes folder.  Still, moving the media folder as instructed should not have messed up the library.  Did you make the mistake of starting up iTunes before the external drive had mounted fully and it then told you it couldn't find many files?  How you proceed to sort it out will depend upon how much time you want to spend and how important things such as ratings and playcount are to you.  I have not actually used the consolidate feature across different drives myself (and don't feel inclined to do so here to test ).
    If you are in the USA you can download some previous purhcases with iCloud, but not all.
    Here's a bit on what an iTunes folder should look like:
    What are the iTunes library files? - [http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660]

    Library files with graphic and explanation of different iTunes versions - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=13169517
    Once you get iTunes working off the external drive it should just put new media to the external when you add it.
    I have almost no experience with synching (I synched my neice's iPod, once, about 4 years ago).
