Open another itunes account on same computer

First i set up another user account on the same mac and then have my own separate itunes.  Then after transfering my song library to the new account, will the songs that i purchase from that point on be automatically placed in both libraries on different computers?

No.
Different computers? You only copied the files to a different login acount on the same computer.
You need to copy the files to the other computer.

    I'm going to give my old iPad to my granddaughter, I want to create an account for her, but I want to do it on my computer so there are no worries about who is spending credits for that account. Don't know how this will work, or if its possible to two iTunes libraries.
    Okay.
    She's going to use your computer to sync with iTunes.
    Create an new computer login on your computer for her. This will keep her stuff separate and she won't be able to mess with any of your info.
    Log into her computer account.
    Launch iTunes.
    Create a new iTunes account for her. See this -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2731
    You can enter a credit card to create the account then delete the CC info. Or you can use an iTunes gift card and she can fund the account with gift cards instead of using a CC to make purchases. This is an easy way to control spending.
    on the iPad, go to Settings > iMessage > Off.
    Then Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content & settings.
    Once it finishes, plug in the iPad, select it in iTunes and this will set it up as a new device. Enter all your granddaughter's info.
    When she wants to sync her iPad or use iTunes, she needs to log into your computer with her account.
    Then the iTunes library she uses will be only hers.

  • Multiple iphones / itunes accounts on same computer

    We now have 2 iphones and want to administer on same PC.  How do I set up 2 iTune accounts on same PC?

    If you're are using the same AppleID, then it's easiest to sync them from the same user account.  iTunes will recognize them as two devices and allow you to set each up the way you want to.
    If you are using to different AppleIDs, then it's best to sync each to a different user account, with the iTunes logged into the correct AppleID on that account.
    Note, you will only be able to run Match or redownload purchases for one AppleID per computer.

  • More than one itunes account on same computer

    Can I download iTunes more than once on the same computer? My daughter and I both have iTunes accounts, but when her playlist is on our computer.  I want to create my own playlist, etc. without having to uncheck all of her music, podcasts, etc.  Can this be done?

    You don;t have to have another itunes to make a playlist, not do you have to uncheck anything.
    Just make a playlist.

  • Multiple itunes accounts on same computer

    I have an itunes account that is already set up for my ipod and the music that I like and it works fine. No real problems yet!
    I just bought my husband his own ipod and he would like his own totally seperate account on itunes. I thought this would be pretty simple and just logged on to the computer under his account and tried to download itunes under his email address and yet after it says itunes installation is complete, when I open up itunes, MY account pops up!
    How in the world do I do this so when itunes is opened up it will be under his own account?
    Hope this makes sense! I am pretty new to all of this!
    Thank you!

    In windows goto Control panel>User accounts>Change the way users log on and off and UNCHECK "Fast user switching"
    After that you can overlook how to share one PC with multiple ipods here. Theres 2 methods for this but since you and the hubby already have 2 user accounts, you'll be doing method 1

  • Firefox wont open using another user account on same computer

    Firefox doesn't continue opening in one user account. I have four users using in the computer and firefox works okay with all the 3. It just states that loading has stopped.

    As it is only a problem for one user, there is likely to be a problem with the profile folder for that user. The profile folder is where user data is stored.
    Try creating a new profile for that user, for details of how to do that see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows
    If the new profile works, you can selectively copy user data such as bookmarks and passwords to the new profile. For details of the files to copy see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile

  • How can I have another Itunes account on the same computer for my wife?

    How can I have another Itunes account on the same computer for my wife?

    In case you didn't fully understand what dallon meant, it means another user account on your computer. You set that up in Windows and then instal iTunes onto that account.
    That way, you each have your own desktop and your own itunes. You can link to the songs in the other person's library as well, but you cannot run both iTunes at the same time. (That simply means you need to close it on the first account before opening it on the second account.)

  • My husband and I are using the same computer. He has a ton of songs in iTunes that I don't want...but when I sync my iPod I get all of his songs too. Is there a way of setting up another ITunes account without having to untick all of the ton songs iTunes

    My husband has a ton of songs in iTunes that I don't want on my iPod nano. Is there a way to set up a separate account on the same computer in iTunes? Do I have to un-tick all of his songs (would take forever!! And then he would have to tick them again)....when we sync our iPods?

    No. Its not possible.
    Alternatively, create another user account in your computer. Install iTunes in that account with the library you wish to sync.
