  • Having the same itunes library for two different users on the same computer

    ok guys i've looked at the previous topics and replies to this subject. None of these seem to work for me with itunes 7. When I go to itunes and edit-preferences-advanced-change, the only folders that are recognized is all of my personal folders and none of my shared folders with my other user. Please tell me how to do this! i need step by step instructions please--I am new to itunes

    i seen that link on another discussion. I have tried it and that does not work. I transferred the itunes music folder (not the others per the directions) to my shared folder. When I go to preferences-change, my shared folder isn't one of the folders to pick from. When i moved the itunes music folder to the shared folder--another empty itunes music folder is created. is there another way?

    Hey deepseablue71

    How do you use the same itunes library for multipul ipods/iphones? >
    First of all, when it comes to music I create playlists. That makes it more easy to handle on different devices.
    When I plug in my iPhone I select the playlists, video or other data I want to have and sync. Same with my iPods. After that I have similar playlists and data on my iPhone and iPods, even calendar and adressbook are updated.
    Hope this helps,
    Cheers,

  • Can 2 apple id using the same itunes library?

    Hi .. I'm using ipone 4s and ipad3 using 2 different apple id. Can i used the same itunes library for both? Where i can copy thosevpurchased app in ipone to ipad?

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    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.

    My iphone / mac no longer recognize they are the same Itunes library.  When I try to sync my phone now, it wants to erase everything and replace it with the computers itunes library.  I have purchased items on the phone I don't want to erase them from the phone.  The phone backs up fine, but won't sync.

  • Can two computers use same iTunes library on a network drive?

    Can two computers use directly (rather than share) the same iTunes library on a network drive? 
    My media library is on a network drive attached to my Airport Extreme. Right now I share the library with my desktop Mac. I can share fine, but I would like to be able to add, delete, and make other changes in the media library from both computers. The two computers would not be accessing the library at the same time as I am the sole user of both.

    I appreciate your input and I think you're right about this being impossible. But just to clarify, you say I can't "have multiple machines accessing the same music files from a shared location." I can have multiple machines accessing the same music files from a shared location--I just can't have them accessing the same music files simultaneously--which may have been what you meant. For my situation, I think it will be less work to just quit iTunes on my server when I want to run it on my client (using Chicken of the VNC). It's not ideal, but it's less time-consuming than periodically syncing three computers.
    Again, thanks for the input.

  • Using single iTunes library for multiple computers

    With the new Airport Disk utility, can I attach an external hard drive with my iTunes library and have multiple computers point to that library as the library for each?

    just to clarify...
    Use ONE computer and ONE COMPUTER ONLY for purchasing / adding new content to the 'master' iTunes library area. Use ANY OTHER COMPUTER that's looking at that 'master' iTunes library for reading (playing back).
    Yes. If you can enforce it by "persuasion", not software
    Would there be a conflict if someone rates songs from other computers etc?
    Yes. If they both rate at the same time.

  • Same iTunes library on different computers.

    I have two personal computers that both serve different functions (one is a Mac and another is a PC running Windows 7) and I would like to use the same iTunes library between them, using my external hard drive. On the mac, I have moved the default library to the external hard drive, and when the drive is connected it runs through there. I would like to do the same for the PC, but instead of creating a new library folder, how do I tell iTunes to use the one that is already there from the Mac? I would like to do this through the external hard drive, as I use the computers in different locations and Home Sharing is not an option. I would like to be able to use the external hard drive to access my library and sync my iPod from either laptop, because when I travel I leave the Mac at home.

    It can be done, however you will need the appropriate drivers or disk format so that both operating systems can read & write to the drive, your library needs to be in the standard nested format of an iTunes library folder containing the database files and an iTunes Media (or iTunes Music) folder with all your media. The library also needs to be in the newer layout as shown on the right in this image.
    If it isn't use the option Library > Organize Library >  Rearrange files in the folder "<Media Folder>".
    If it isn't in nested folders see this post.

  • I have a Verizon and At&t Iphone 4 can I use the same Itunes account for both phones?

    I have a Verizon Iphone 4 though my job.  I also have a At&t Iphone 4 for my personal phone.  Can I use the same Itunes account for both phone or will I need a separate account for Verizon Iphone?

    I dont live in US, live in Japan.. but I do have 2 iPhones, one 3GS and one 4. I use same iTunes Account on both.
    You might have a little "problem" if your payment were by Credit Card, everytime you try to buy something (I mean, try to download something on your iphone, not from your computer) , your going to need to verify your payment... but if u use iTunes Gift Card, you wont have any problem with that

  • Syncing 2 iPhones on the same iTunes Library

    Is it possible to sync to iPhones to the same iTunes library? So games etc get synced to both phones? BUT can both iPhones sync to the Music Library differently?

    "Is it possible to sync to iPhones to the same iTunes library?"
    Yes.
    " So games etc get synced to both phones"
    Yes.
    "BUT can both iPhones sync to the Music Library differently?"
    Yes.
    Itunes recognizes each device, so you can set each to sync whatever you like.

  • Can I sync 2 iPhones with the same iTune library?

    I am currently using an iPhone 3GS and have no problems with it.  I also have an iPod Classic synshed to the same iTunes library with no issues.
    My question is: Can I also synch my old iPhone 3G so that my kids can use it to play some games, videos and music, synched from my library, with SIM card?

    Try it and see what happens. I don't see why it wouldn't work.
    If you DO have problems, put the phone in Airplane Mode. And see if that helps.
