Multiple Libraries for ease of use.

This topic may be a deadhorse (no offense to horses) but I was wondering if there is a way to have multiple libaries within iTunes?
Here is what I would like to do:
1. Be able to have all of my "purchased" music stored on on an ext HD. I currently have my entire library on an ext HD, but the reason I ask, is that in Backup there is no selection to backup purchased music from anywhere other than the home folder, which is on the primary HD.
2. Have a preference solution to "choose" where to store PURCHASED music, movies, music videos, audiobooks, & podcasts in different locations (independently) but still organized withing the library files in the iTunes folder that is located in the music folder.
I understand that this is mostly wishful thinking. I will submit this as feedback to Apple, but when using Feedback there is usually no response.

Thanks, I understand about using the option key when launching, but what would be most helpful is to be able to control the locations from within iTunes and not have to "switch" during startup..... I just sent the feedback to Apple, I hope that it is taken into consideration. It seems simple and something that would make iTunes more powerful. The backup feature within iTunes does not have a selection for other than burning to disk (which with my library would take many DVD-R's and even with Blueray it will take multiple disc's....)

Multiple Libraries for iTunes

I am wondering if there is any way to create multiple libraries for my music? I use my iTunes for both work and personal music and would like to be able to move my work music into a separate library. I've seen this concept in accounting programs, where you create new companys in order to store and track separate information. Any suggestions? I am currently using iTunes 5.0

Cherrie:
Try iTunes Library Manager. It's not free, but it does work.

My partner and i have seperate i tunes accounts,can these be merged into 1 account for ease of use ?

My Partner and i have seperate i tunes accounts,can these be merged into 1 account for ease of use ?

This is not possible.

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

How to uploade multiple flatfiles for single transaction using BDC?

How to uploade multiple flatfiles for single transaction using BDC?

Hi,
You need to upload all data files into an internal table first either using OPEN DATASET (application server files) or GUI_UPLOAD (PC files).
Then loop at the internal table and call BDC transaction to process the data.

Multiple libraries for one ipod and match?

Ok, so... I've got about 1500 songs purchased via itunes, and own about 3500 CDs, which I'm in the process of adding to my library. All but about 50 of the discs were already ripped years ago, and I'm just copying the backup mp3s onto my new external drive after the last one failed. Anyhow, I just got itunes Match and I'm wondering if I made a mistake in doing so. Is there a way to have songs from multiple libraries on my ipod? Due to the sheer volume of music (and other thigns) I own, I'm wondering if I should just make a comedy library, a blues library, a synthpop library, a metal one, a rock & roll one, an oldies one and so on. If I do that, will I be relegated to having to decide what style of music I want on my ipod at any given time, or is there a way for me to load different items from multiple libraries onto the thing?
I'm halfway tempted to just delete my entire library from itunes and just be SUPER picky about what tracks I add in order to be able to get under the 25K limit. As is, right now I've got 21411 items in my library, over 20000 of which are in match, but it keeps crashing on step 3 right now. As is, I already know I need to re-mp3 some of the discs since when I did them originally they were less than 96K (oddly, I'm finding it's mainly on my "oldies" discs like the American Graffiti soundtrack), and that doens't bug me, but the idea of having to go through song by song and add only what I want is one I'm not too fond of and that I'd like to avoid if at all possible.
I'm really digging match, but not so much now that I realized there's a hard limit to the number of songs available. I don't think Apple is used to folks like me who live & breathe music and attend well over 100 concerts in the average year.
Thanks for anyone who's read all of my rambling, and any of y'all who can provide me a bit of guidance!

This would be making is WAY less difficult. This is a MUCH needed feature in iTunes that they should add. As a DJ I absolutely hate having all my music in one library. Certain genres, like Electronic music, deserve to be in their own library. I would like to be able to hit the Music icon on my iPod and have it ask me what library of music I would like to access.
This would allow siblings to share one iPod and not have to combine all of their music together. Or you could make a library of music with no explicicit music on it (and passcode it) so that you don't have to worry about kids having access to your explicit material if you let them use your iPod.
You can already make multiple libraries in iTunes, why not just add the obvious next step and be able to add multiple libraries onto one iPod.

Multiple Libraries for Multiple Users on iTunes

Is there a way - using iTunes 7 - to have multiple libraries? Our family shares a computer and I would love to have separate libraries.
Thanks.

Hi there
Hold down the 'alt' key for a couple of seconds when you launch iTunes from the dock.
You should get a prompt to create a new library, or choose another library to launch.
Good luck

ITunes 7 or 7.1 w/ multiple libraries for 2 different iPods

Can iTunes 7 or 7.1 have 2 libraries for two different iPods (1 iPod goes to 1 library and the other one goes to the different library) in one iTunes 7 or 7.1?

It is possible to have multiple libraries with iTunes 7. To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Shift key in Windows (or the Option key in Mac) 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. 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
Using multiple iTunes libraries -Mac

Multiple Libraries for Video running at the same time on one PC

Hi Everyone -
I want to clarify this is for VIDEO files, not music for my 6 ATV's on the network.
Problem: I have well over 1000 VIDEOS in my iTunes Library, and I am wanting to have multiple libraries availible at the same time; not just whichever the computer has open.
We have several atv's on the network and I would like to take my video organization one step further; instead of scrolling forever in the atv menus for the video you want; I could make several libraries all availible at the same time.
Such as:
Kids Library
Workout Library
Parents Library
etc
This in turn would shrink the primary library and have less videos to sort by. I know how to create the Libraries, I just dont know how to have them all running at the same time.
Infastructure:
Windows 7 Ultimate with Drobo B800FS (16TB of storage) all connected to Cisco 3660 Gig switch with multiple atv's hardwired back.

iTunes can only open one library at a time. If you have multiple computers, or virtual machines, each could be serving a different library.

Using Device Central CS5.5 offline or Obtain online libraries for local (offline) use

Device Central CS5.5 cannot navigate my proxy server, and my security unit is never going to provide an exception to allow it.
I need Device Central to at least start-up so I can review some mobile website designs. But all I get upon starting DC is two requests for my proxy credentials then a message stating DC cannot connect to the online library. Clicking OK to the "no connection" message shuts DC down. Why? Why can I not use the software without a constant connection to the Internet?
That is
where can I download the libraries for local use, what adress is it attpemting to connect to?
where do I put them so CS5.5 can find and use them?
How do I get CS5.5 to stop trying to connect to the Internet at start up when I cannot get to the properties to change the setting?
I found this note http://helpx.adobe.com/legacy/kb/device-central-cs4-cannot-connect.html providing an offline solution for DC CS4 which deos not work with CS5.5.
Thanks,

Hi Eric,
CS5 Help is usually located at /usr/<username>/Library/Preferenecs/chc.487...../Local Store/Help folder.
CS6 help is usually downloaded to the shared location, unless it is restricted. In that case the above folder may be used for downloading help.
Yes, the offline content setting in Adobe Help Manager, will work for both CS5 and CS6 help and help clients.
'Expired Status' usually refers to the state when local content goes stale, and there is new offline content available on Adobe.com servers. Yes, a user may click on Download/Update button to update the expired content from Adobe Help Manager.
Regarding the CS5 product help launch, I will need some more information to provide a reply.
1. Which product and version of CS5 is the customer facing problem with.
2. What is the status of help downloaded for the same product (CS5 or CS6 in Adobe Help Manager)
3. Is the user able to see downloaded help in the above mentioned folders
Let me know if you have more queries.

Sandeep

Managing multiple libraries for multiple family members

I have four family members with multiple iTune libraries, including two that need to be age appropriate for our children. To add to this burden, we now have an iPad as well. How do I best manage these libraries, minimizing duplicate purchases, enabling each to have store accounts for gift card purchases, and sync each iPod simply for those not familiar with the apple software? Can I merge our libraries, create different users with their songs and accounts for purchases and syncing logins? We have two operating systems in the home, mac and pc? Argh, this is cumbersome, my library has over 4000 items, other family members have much smaller libraries, but would like their own individual libraries. Should I merge and make separate playlists for each user? If so, how can I incorporate my own vast library of playlists already created?
Help me please, any suggestions?
Rob Mc

There are 3 options. See this page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1495
My advice is to use option #1 and have each user with a separate windows userID. They can each keep their own itunes library database file with ratings, play counts, playlists.
Have all the library content in a public folder to avoid filling the PC's hard drive with duplicates.
You can use a 3rd-party utility program like iTunes Folder Watch to update all the libraries when new content gets added.
Method #2 is easiest, but then ratings and play counts will not be separated. Also, they have to remember to log out of the itunes store and log in with their own ID when making purchases. Something to watch for when kids are involved with their own gift cards....this is not a problem with method #1.
Method #3 seems to give a lot of people grief because all users MUST use a shift-start of itunes to choose their own library. Woe has fallen on many who have tried this method.
As for using both Mac & PC, itunes & ipods are designed to only sync with one PC. There is a way around that, but you either have to do a lot of manual backing up and copying, or buy something like TuneRanger.

Multiple address for single vendor using business partner

Hello folks,
I have a issue,it's all about picking the right address in the payment posting.The Vendors have more than 7 addresses depending on the situation.Vendor Master(XK01) can be given 2 address and we are using Business Partner(BP) for storing other addresses.We are able to link the Vendor Master to BP from T-Code FLBPC1.Now when there is payment Posting it has to pick the address from BP if required.It is possible using MM module But we dont have MM for this.Plz suggest me.Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Kumar

Hi Sushil,
The customers and vendors can only have a single address, but the Business partner can have multiple address.
You can set up a synchronization from business partner -> customer/ vendor such that all the common data is synchronised between these objects. The standard address of the BP is copied into the address of the customer or vendor.
You can set up this sync using
Transaction SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG-> Cross-Application Components ->Master Data Synchronization-> Customer/Vendor Integration
Do go through the doucmentaion provided in the path too, it explains the functionality well.
Customers/vendors donot have the capacity to maintain multiple addresses.
Hope this helps you.
Regards,
Rishu.

Appt entry/edit question: want tips for ease of use

Hi all, I use iCal on my iMac and iPhone, and have run across these issues, and wondered if there is a trick or tip I am missing.
Adding an appointment on the desktop:
When the event edit screen pops up, I try tabbing through each field to enter the relevant data. This entire window seems to be difficult to navigate, in that I would expect to tab through every field. After "location", the tab jumps to either the minutes or the AM/PM field. I then have to back tab to where I need to be. Entering the times can be a trick. I try to enter a 12:30 pm appointment, and in the hour field I type a 1 and a 2, which works sometimes, but sometimes moves me from a 1:00 display to a 2:00. then my noon appt is misscheduled for 2:00, if I don't catch it. Am I missing something?
When I am done editing a calendar entry, I can't hit return to save, I have to click done. Again, am I missing something, or is this just how it works?
thanks for any tips you have!

i believe , the configuration should work fine...one thing you need to ensure is , both the devices need to have latest firmware ..

Multiple copies for Payment advice using standard program RFFOAVIS_FPAYM

Hi Experts,
I have one requirement, need to print the payment advice form twice (one for account section and other for vedor). According to the existing process it uses standard SAP print program RFFOAVIS_FPAYM OR RFFOUS_C (for cheque payment) to print the output.
When I tried to print the output by giving number of copies, it prints test pages but not the actual output. The actual payment advice note with proper values getting printed only once. I actually need to print this actual payment advice note twice.
Do you experts know how to achive this? is there any configuration available to get this requirement? OR how can i do this without chaning Standard SAP program?
Thanks in advace for your help..
Regards,
Prashant

Hi,
2 times printing can be done using Sap script.however, it would call for changes to your driver prog...
in function call CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'....u need to add g_ITCPO-TDCOPIES = '2' and pass g_itcpo to OPTIONS structure of the FM.With this you can ahve 2 copied of ur output. I just test printed it.
So in your case as yours is a standard program, you could probably create a copy of the Standard program and add the above logic in your program.
hope this help
Cheers,

Passing and Parsing Multiple values for 1 Parameter using ASP and reportInterface.ReportParameters

Post Author: ckwizard77
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
HELP!!
I have been knocking my head against a wall trying to figure out how to pass multiple values to 1 parameter and how to add it to the parameter collection. I have code so if I pass single values for each parameter it works fine. I am passing the parmeters and values in a pipe delimited string through a url where it gets parsed and pass in here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the single param code:
Public Sub SetParamValues(ReportName, strParamName, ParamValue) Dim i,reportInterface, ParamName,strSubReprotName,CurrentValues Set reportInterface = reportObject.PluginInterface("") Set reportParameters = result.Item(1).PluginInterface("Report").ReportParameters For i=1 to reportParameters.Count if ReportName <>"" then strSubReprotName=reportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).ReportName if strSubReprotName=ReportName then ParamName = reportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).ParameterName if ucase(ParamName)=Ucase(strParamName) then Set CurrentValues = reportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).CurrentValues CurrentValues.Clear() Dim newSingleParameter Set newSingleParameter = ReportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).CreateSingleValue newSingleParameter.Value = ParamValue reportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).CurrentValues.Add newSingleParameter reportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).PromptOnDemandViewing=false iStore.Commit result End if End if Else ParamName = reportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).ParameterName Set param1 = reportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i) if Ucase(ParamName)=UCase(strParamName) then Set CurrentValues = reportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).CurrentValues CurrentValues.Clear() Set newSingleParameter = ReportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).CreateSingleValue newSingleParameter.Value = ParamValue reportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).CurrentValues.Add newSingleParameter reportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).PromptOnDemandViewing=false iStore.Commit result End if End if NextEnd Sub

That Makes sense.
thanks a lot !
Well now are at it, mind if I ask you another quick question:
If I make an option in the multiselect list called ALL which should return all the results:
as should act like this
select * from dept;
you solution was:
select * from dept
where INSTR(':'||:P1_EMPNO||':', ':'||empno ||':') > 0
Can I modify this to return all the rows ?

Payment of multiple invoices for a vendor using F110

Hi,
Vendor X has been assigned with payment method F. There are 2 invoices posted to this vendor. In the accounting document of these 2 posted invoices, the user explicitly assigned payment F on one invoice and left the other one with blank payment method assignment.
During payment run (F110) for payment method F, the system picked up the 2 invoices but listed them as two separate lines in the proposal list. When we process the payment the system also created two payment documents.
Is there a way for these 2 invoices to be processed as a single proposal and payment eventhough one has a payment method value assigned in the invoice and the other oen derived from the master data?
I have tried assigning both invoices with payment method F in the FI document and it works but we cannot sustain this procedure as we don't know when the user will manually assign payment method to the accounting documents.
Any suggestion how I can fuse these invoices together in a single proposal/payment document?
Thanks,
Aloy

This is explained in paragraph 5. of OSS note 305414 - F110: Unintelligible grouping of documents.
This note is very helpful for understanding the grouping of documents in F110.
