One podcast download to multiple libraries

Have done my searches but cant find a solution to this problem I am having.
One computer, two iPods, running iTunes 7.02. I have one library for each iPod as I dont want my wife's ratings and play counts to screw with my stats! Thing is we listen to some of the same podcasts, yet iTunes insists on dowloading the same episode in each library, I have tried pointing both to the same folder, yet this has no effect?
Any ideas?

We each have our own login to the computer. This creates a library for each user. We use one iTunes store account. Everything but podcasts has one copy on the hard drive. We maintain a spreadsheet updated with new content. When a new CD is added to library one of us makes the entry and marks a column noting whose library has the tracks already. When the other person logs in to iTunes the new CD is not in the library it must be imported. Then the speadsheet is updated that they have the tracks.

How do I stop podcasts downloading across multiple devices

How do I stop podcasts subscribed to on one device (an Imac) from automatically downloading on another device (a Macbook) which uses the same appli id?

Go to iTunes > Preferences > Store and Uncheck the option to Sync podcast subscriptions, settings and stations, then set up each machine as you want it.

Multiple libraries on one Mac recognised by iPods?

I would like to have all my music in one location but have multiple libraries for different members of my family. When I plug in an iPod, say my daughter's, I want it to know whose iPod it is, and open the relevant library (my daughter's) so that I can sync that iPod with that library. Possible? Thanks.

To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key (or 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 -Mac
Another option is to create a separate Mac User account for each person on your computer. 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

Can only download one podcast at a time without itunes freezing...

Having never had any major problems with itunes before, it has suddenly started freezing when I set any podcasts downloading.
If I set one podcast downloading, it will continue to work as normal (although navigating the menus on the left hand side will be considerably slower - an aspect of itunes that I have had to get used to as it seems to slow everything down), but as soon as I click a second to begin it will immediately stop responding. The downloads will continue, although I cannot view their progression or move to the video, music, radio etc menus. Once the downloads have finished itunes will unfreeze and continue as normal. It does not crash or require Ctrl-Alt-Del, and whilst this is going on other programs continue as normal.
Anyone else suffered the same, or know how to fix it?

itunes 8.1 freezes if I download even one podcast. Unfreezes when download is done. I can click anywhere on the interface and nothing will happen. It takes about three seconds after I click on the GET button before itunes freezes up. If I restart [open a new itunes without closing the frozen window] the program, I might get one click before it becomes unresponsive again. Can't go back to the previous version because the library file has new code.

Multiple Libraries on one computer

I want to store more music in iTunes than my iPod has room for (original iPod). I want to use one library for music that I don't want on my iPod and the other for the music I want to sync. I also want to be able to move music back and forth between the them.
How do I store music in multiple libraries on one computer without making separate computer user accounts or using the playlist work around?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, apple-rules

Yes, I am referring to the auto syncing of playlists. Not all of my music is assigned to playlists and I don't want to create them - too many songs.
As I mentioned in my original post:
I want to store more music in iTunes than my iPod has room for (original iPod). I want to use one library for music that I don't want on my iPod and the other for the music I want to sync. I also want to be able to move music back and forth between the them.
I want to be able to store music in iTunes and play that music in iTunes without having them downloaded to my iPod. It would be nice to have a Library in iTunes that can be separate from the iPod stuff.
I think I found a work around (#12). Until I get a better solution I am going to create a master folder to which I will move all my music that I do not want syncing to my iPod. Then, I will do a manual sync and exclude that folder.
Thanks everyone.

ITunes is not downloading more than one Podcast at a time.

Since two updates ago, when I select multiple podcasts and update them to download the latest episodes, iTunes will only download one at a time. It will show multiple in the "Downloads" window, but it will only actually download them one at a time. The "Allow Simultaneous Downloads" box is checked, and I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes.

Anomander Rake wrote:
If the box is checked, what happens is it will show 3 podcasts have started (by showing the progress bar), however only the first one actually downloads anything. Once it finishes, the second podcast will start actually downloading (and one new one will show that the download progress bar, tho it remains empty until its the "top" podcast. Like it doesnt do anything until everything above it has already finished.
That sounds like a classic case of the Podcast provider limiting the number of simultaneous downloads to one only. As I asked the original poster; are these Podcasts from the same programme, or even from the same radio station network?
Anomander Rake wrote:
And thats annoying enough, but sorta often... if the first podcast takes too long the lower podcasts that have shown the progress bar but not actually started downloading yet will time out and not download until I tell it to try again.
Again, classic symptoms of a Podcast provider limiting the number of simultaneous downnloads. Although this isn't proof, that it's the provider, the question needs to be asked.
I find it extrememly unlikely that cmhogan's suggestion would give you any different results, because the request is simply made in a different way, the queue is the same.

Add multiple libraries to one album

Can you add multiple libraries that have been previously downloaded to one album?

In Revel, libraries are where images are truly stored. Albums are just simple containers for organization and sharing. For any given library, an image can belong to a number of albums. And if you delete an album, images remain safe in the main library.
It sounds like you want to consolidate images from multiple libraries into one location. Currently, Revel does not allow one to copy or move images between libraries. The only thing I can recommend is to import your images again into the library you where you want to consolidate. If the images exist only in other Revel libraries, you will need to export them first, and then re-import them to the desired library.
If I didn't quite speak to your needs, please let me know so I can try to offer better help.

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.

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!
-Ann

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 of folios in one app?

Can you have multiple Libraries of folios in one app? For example, in one app you have two separate monthly magazines. Each of these magazines has its own library of monthly issues; each issue would be its own folio. Or would I need to make two separate apps, one for each magazine?

You'd need to make two separate apps.

Multiple Libraries - One Preferences File

Hi all,
I would like to set up Multiple Libraries in iTunes to Sync one with ATV and stream the other to ATV when it is active.
The problem I have is that iTunes has ONE preferences file independent to the library and in particular the "Shared Name" - if you change it in one library it changes it in all libraries to be the same.
Is there a way to have multiple iTunes Libraries each with it's own preferences file to assist with this?
Cheers,
Dean

Having Multiple Libraries on One Mac

Hi. I just pre-purchased the new 16gb iPod Touch (I will still be using my 60gb iPod as well) and had a question concerning libraries.
Is it possible to create multiple libraries so that I can have all my music (almost 40gb) be in one library and then load a seperate library with preselected music on it for the new iPod. I know I can just create a playlist (which I use for my Shuffle) but to make a playlist that has 16 gb of music almost defeats the purpose of it being a playlist to begin with.
I just dont want to have to sit and scroll through my library and add songs to the new iPod on a song by song basis, to have everything for the Touch in its own library would be much easier.
Thanks for any help/advice you may have.

It's possible to have multiple libraries in a single account with iTunes 7. To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key 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. 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 but other than that they work fine: Using multiple iTunes libraries -Mac
