Multiple libraries on same computer with current iTunes version

How can I create multiple libraries with the current version of iTunes? I want to add a library to a computer that already has one. Please help!

  • I have multiple users on my computer with separate iTunes libraries.  can we share?

    I have multiple users on my computer with separate iTunes libraries.  Is it possible to share the libraries?  The "share library" preference doesn't seem to work.

    Hi b noir, I also have two users on one pc with two different iTunes libraries.  But I also want to put them onto an external hard drive so that I can free up some memory on the pc.  So I figure I need to consolidate the two users iTunes libraries first before moving to hard drive?  But not quite sure how to do that on the iTunes 11?  Thanking you in advance!!

  • Home Sharing with multiple libraries on same computer?

    I'm a total Apple noob, but I couldn't find the answer through search so here goes:
    Setup:
    1 Desktop PC with XP running iTunes 10.2
    1 user account, but two libraries - 1 for my wife and 1 for me (maybe more later)
    1 iPod Classic for wife
    1 iPad2 for me - it's coming in the mail soon, I hope!
    Goal:
    Home share from iPad2 with either library over wifi network
    Issue:
    iPad isn't here so I haven't tried this, but I understand iTunes has to be running for homesharing to work. If that's true, I'm worried, the iPad2 will only see the open library and not all the libraries on the computer. All the tutorials I've seen show only one library per computer, but that's not my setup.
    Will this work for us?
    Thanks

    P.S. Also looking on way to share playlists between libraries on the same computer. Any links on how to do this?

    Yes, that's the way it's going to be. Only one user can have itunes running on windows. If a 2nd user tries to launch itunes there will be an error message saying another user is already running it. Quite the pain. itunes doesn't work with windows fast user switching.

    Macs are different, and every user can have their own itunes library running at once.

  • How do you set up a different ipad on same computer with different itunes library

    I am trying to update a clients ipad (who does not have access to internet at his residence) on my personal computer.  When I open up itunes with his apple ID, I continue to get my itunes library information.  I don't want to mix my information with his information.  How do you set up a different i pad/itunes on the same computer?  What I need to do is update the version of his i pad as his i pad is version 4.2.1.  Thank you

  • Multiple libraries on same computer

    My operating system is Windows XP, and my daughter has been downloading songs from itunes when others are logged onto the computer, so she has songs scattered through three different libraries. Is there a way to combine them? Keep in mind that I am not very computer savvy, and she's only 10. Thanks.

    Well, the easiest way for me would be to burn all the "scattered" music onto a CD-RW. It might cost you a few bucks but at least you won't have to re-buy her music.
    All you have to do is go to the iTunes library of each user and burn your daughters songs. You will need one blank CD for every user that her music is located.
    After you do that, all you have to do is copy the CD's to the iTunes library of your choice.

  • How do I copy purchases between 2 itunes libraries on the same computer with different log ins and separate apple user ids?

    How do I copy purchases between 2 itunes libraries on the same computer with different log ins and separate apple user ids?

    Load the library which doesn't contain the songs and drag them into the open iTunes application window. If you need to move them between different computer user accounts, put them into /Users/Shared/.

  • The same itunes Library and playlists on the same computer with two systems

    I want to have the same itunes library and playlists on the same computer with the two different Os 10.3.9 and 10.4.9 each one on the different disk. without copy this in the itunes folder (because my library its 30Gb)
    I have the same user name on the Os. I use the same version of itunes in both systems
    I use my ipod to play the library but its not the best solution (i lost my library in ipod twice because I confused from what os was synchronized)

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    Amalgamate the two iTunes libraries. Then load iTunes and hold down the Option/Alt ⌥ key and then choose "Choose Library" and then point both copies of iTunes to use the combined iTunes library.

  • Why can't two different users use Itunes on the same computer with different log ins

    Why can't two different users use Itunes on the same computer with different log ins

    They can, but not at the same time.
    If one user left iTunes running, and another user tries to use iTunes from a different Windows user ID, that second user will get an error message.  If they really want to use iTunes, they either have to beg the first user to log in and close iTunes, or else they have to restart the computer.
    If you are asking the technical reason why, it is something about context switching.

  • Multiple Libraries on 1 computer?

    Hi,
    I was wondering is it possible to set up multiple libraries on one computer? For example if multiple family members using the same computer but w/ vastly different musical tastes all have iPods is there a way to set iTunes up where I wouldn't have to deal w/ all of my other family member's songs?

  • How do you add another account onto the same computer that  has itunes?

    I want to add another account to my already existing account so that my dad can have his own music on the same computer with mine. can i do that? or should i just move all of my stuff to an another computer and just let him have the old one? i know this prolly sounds confusing but someone please tell me if i can do this!

    See if this helps: Using Windows XP User Accounts
    Creating a separate Windows User account for each person on your PC will 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.
