Multiple users on a single computer/synching device to more than one iTunes

Sorry if this has been asked before -- seems like it would be a common question. Our family has three iTunes users, and we each run off our own laptop, but there's a lot of overlap in the library and it's a huge waste of disk space. I'd like to achieve two things:
1. Have a single copy of a music file even if it's in all three libraries
2. Avoid having to go into three separate iTunes accounts to add new music to each one -- I just want to add it once and have it available to all three users
So can I do this: have a new iTunes account on the central desk computer, and have that iTunes hold all our music. Everybody maintains their own playlists on that one central iTunes. If we sync our iPhones/iPods to that computer, we just sync music, and we pick up our playlists. If we sync to our laptops, we sync podcasts and so on and don't sync music because there won't be music on those laptops. Will that work? Or can I not sync my iPhone to more than one iTunes?
Thanks for any help
Mike

Welcome to AD!
Here is an article on using multiple ipods. I suggest method 1 and steer clear of method 3.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495
For your point #1, sharing music on same PC between users, put it in a shared library & set permissions as directed here
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203
For #2, itunes doesn't have the capability to monitor folders for new content. You'll need to get something like the free program 'itunes folder watch'.

  • Can one computer be used by more than one itunes account holders

    Can one computer be used by more than one itunes account holders or can we no longer share a home computer to access our clouds?

    Hi Zhang Bin
    You can create one order from multiple  notification, but you cannot create multiple order from one notification.
    Exmaple- You can select all notification in IW28, and create one order. All these notification will appear in object list of order.

  • Can a computer be authorized for more than one itunes account

    My husband and I set up two separate iTunes accounts a number of years ago, and now we want to be able to share and copy our libraries. If I authorize my computer for his account, can it stil be authorized to my account?
    And if it can't, what happens to my iTunes library?

    1. Yes.

    How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. The only way is for you to have a separate user account to log into on that computer.

  • Can I simultaneously configure a device to more than one task?

    Can I simultaneously configure a device to more than one task? I am trying to trigger on some of the input data. When I tried to configure the same device to more than one task, I get an error:
    Error -10408 occurred at Digital Group Config.
    Possible reasons:
    NI-DAQ LV: The specified channel is in use.
    I have attached a copy of my VI. In the first and second sequences I am using device 1.
    Attachments:
    Can_I_simultaneously_configure_a_device.doc ‏19 KB

    Hello;
    The best way to have multiple tasks running on the same DAQ device is by syncronizing those in the hardware level. What I mean by that is, to use the same clock pulse train to clock the different tasks.
    For instance, in case you want to do Analog Input and Analo Output at the same time, you can use the AI Start Scan (which is the clock pulse train that will clock the analog input task) to be routed to the AO Update clock (which is the clock that controls the Analog Output tasks of your device). You can extend that idea for counter operations as well.
    For digital operations, if you are not using one of the digital boards that support strobed operations, such as the 653x ones, you won't be able to synchronize the digital tasks with the analg tasks, s
    ince the digital ports updates through Software calls only.
    You are probably getting that error because you are trying to use the Digital Group Config.vi (or some other VI that calls the Digital Config.vi) with a board that doesn't support handshaking operations, such as the MIO ones.
    Hope this helps.

  • My itunes library has organically grown from more than one itunes account but all now on a separate computer.  If I upgrade to iTunes match will I have to pay for each account?

    My itunes library has organically grown from more than one itunes account (all paid for by me) but all now on a separate computer.  If I upgrade to iTunes match will I have to pay for each account or just once, for the computer?

    No.  Provided the computer that you use to upload / match your Songs is authorised to play all of the Songs all works well - once complete you can download Song files that will play on your libraries / other computers without each computer having to be authorised.

  • Can I use a single QuickTime Pro key on more than one computer?

    I would like to use QuickTime Pro at both home (Windows Vista) and at work (Windows XP). Can I do this using a single purchased key, or do I need to buy two separate keys, one for each machine?
    It's a rather stupid question, but I can't find an straightforward statement one way or the other in the FAQs. Perhaps the answer's too obvious!
    Cheers,
    Andrew.

    Thanks! I thought this would probably be the case, but since iTunes allows me to authorise more than one machine, I thought that it was just possible that QuickTime might do the same. Back to the drawing board ...
