Putting Two different library's on one computer

My dads computer crashed and he asked me if I could put songs on my computer. Is there a way I can make a seperate library where my songs don't go on his ipod but on the same computer? I did not back up which I am okay with, he did not have many songs. I just want a new library that will not interefere with mine.

I'm just afraid that when I hit the sync button my songs will go on my dads ipod.

1. Give her a separate user account on your computer. If you have a backup copy of the library, you can restore it.
2. If you encounter a 90-day waiting period, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff if they'll remove it.

Two Different iPod's and One Computer

My sister and i both have iPods and i need to know how to keep our songs separate so we dont end up with all of eachothers songs. it would be helpful!!! is there any way to have two iTunes accounts on 1 computer or am i screwed!!

Well, get this - our family has 3 iPods (all different models, too) and we have a way of keeping unwanted songs out of our iPods. If you have Windows XP, create a new section for every iPod user. If you use one log-in for non-iPod/iTunes business, you can still use it, but keep the others for the iPods only. After, upload your library onto each log-in and just delete the songs that are not yours. Don't worry - your iPod's songs won't be erased because someone deleted them from their iTunes library.
Or Try This...
Create Playlists for each other. When you go to plug in your iPod, got to "Edit", "Preferences", then "Update." click on the box that says to update selected playlists. Every time you update, just change the selected list.
Hope this helps

Can I have two different iTunes libraries on one computer?

I have my iTunes library all set up. I just bought my fiancee an iPad. She has no computer nor an iTunes account yet. I wanted to set up her iPad on my computer, but dont want my account put on it. How can I do this?

There's a couple of different optiions for giving her her own library. The following document may be of some assistance with that.

Can I use two different iTunes accounts on one computer without using Family sharing

So my wife made the mistake of logging into her iTunes account on my computer to purchase some music and she also (without knowing what she was doing) turned on family sharing at some point.
This is irritating for multiple reasons:
Now I have hundreds of artists added to my iTunes match, all of who I care nothing about and don't want the clutter in my artist list, but I can't figure out how to permanently delete them off of my account. Also, now if I login to my account on iTunes I can't play any of my music for 90 days.
Is there ANY way for me to re-organize my music, delete her junk, and get myself back to where I can play my purchased music on my iTunes account? Any time I try to organize or delete her music it shows back up next time I open it.
I almost feel like I need to download all of my music off of the cloud, delete my iTunes account, and then open another one AFTER organizing my music while offline and then enable match again. Everything is so cluttered and frustrating. Looking for some advice.

1. Give her a separate user account on your computer. If you have a backup copy of the library, you can restore it.
2. If you encounter a 90-day waiting period, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff if they'll remove it.

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.

I am trying to find out if you can have two different itunes accounts on one computer. My boyfriend and I both have the iphone 4 but we share a computer. Is it possible to have two accounts on one laptop? And if so, how do i do it?

Hi, Angela, Take a look here:

That should help. If you are referring to iTunes Store accounts, yes, you can have up to five iTunes Store accounts on a single system.

Two different itunes libraries on same computer

I hope someone can help me! How do i set up two different libraries on the same computer for two different ipods? My ipod is on a computer i no longer have and I'm trying to put it on a computer that has a different ipod on it. My ipod appears in Windows as (H) and not in itunes.
I've tried all the tips I found already with no luck!

if the computer cannot be turned on, one option would be to remove the hard drive and put it in an external enclosure that can be connected to the working computer.

I followed these instructions & have created a new library file. However, all my music now appears in the new library as well as my own. (I bought my daughter an ipod nano for christmas & want to separate itunes libraries on one computer). How can this be so difficult?

CAN YOU HAVE TWO I TUNES ACCOUNT ON ONE COMPUTER?

CAN YOU HAVE TWO I TUNES ACCOUNT ON ONE COMPUTER?

The problem with making separate accounts is that this is a laptop, so likely not a huge hard drive, and if the three iTunes libraries need to have a lot of the same music (because everyone or two or three like some of the same stuff) you end up with double or triplicate copies of the music on the hard drive eating up drive space. Since they don't use his laptop normally, creating more accounts (with all the associated files and drive space usage each account would eat up) it probably isn't worth it.
Instead, the best approach is like Chris said, to make playlists for the girls in the main library and then set up the various iPod to either sync everything (if big enough) or sync only specific playlists (if not big enough).
Alternatively, they can set their iPods to manual syncing and then when Dad is visiting they can hook up their iPods and "shop" the library and drag in whatever they want to add to the iPods and delete what they no longer want.

Can I access two different libraries on the same computer with the remote app?

I am in the process of upgrading our home network. There is going to be an airport express in each of the main rooms of our house all running to a switch connected to our AirPort Extreme. The reason for this is so we can stream our music in any or all of the rooms we choose. I'm going to have a Windows 7 PC running iTunes constantly also connected so that we will have access to the entire library on any of our devices. My entire library will be housed on an external hard drive that will be connected to the Extreme. Here is where it gets tricky. My wife has a separate library that we want to have access to as well. It is going to be housed on a separate external hard drive connected to the Extreme via a USB hub. I don't want to combine our libraries because hers is absolute chaos and mine is very well organized. Without having to have a second computer running iTunes constantly, is there a way we can access both libraries simultaneously with the remote app? Either by running two instances of iTunes on one computer or some other way I'm not realizing. As it works right now, if we're both running iTunes on our laptops, then I can go onto my iPad and see both full libraries on the remote app. I want to do that, but with just one computer.

I doubt it is possible to run two instances of iTunes on the computer at the same time. To do so would require two users to be signed in and running iTunes under each user.
The better solution would be to either clean up and merge the two libraries or have iTunes running on a second computer.
