Setting different preferences in different libraries?

I've set up two different libraries and was wondering if it is possible for each library to have its own set of preferences?
I want a different iTunes music folder for each library, but when I go between the libraries the folder in the preferences stays the same.

Can I save different preferences with different workspaces in illustrator CS5?

Greetings,
I am wondering if I can save different preferences through workspaces? Or if this cannot be done I was wondering if it is possible to script a particular set of preferences for a computer. The purpose would be to make certain all preferences are set identically on each computer. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Brian

I would save it as EPS (version Illustrator 3). This should be compatible to almost any software that takes EPS.

Setting software preference for file types

Hi all
Can someone please tell me how you set a preference for different file types? For example, I want all .avi files to play using VLC player and not Quicktime. However, my computer automatically wants to use Quicktime. How do I change this? I have looked in Preferences and couldn't see an option.
Thanks
Steven

Select an .avi file via the Finder and use Get Info for the file.
At Open With, select the VCL player and below "use this application to open all documents like this", select Change All.

I have an apple ID for myself (for my iPhone), and a different apple ID for my daughter (and her iPod Touch). I think her ipod was set up on a different computer, but I need to be able to update my phone, and her ipod to the same computer.

The problem seems to be that I keep getting an error when trying to update her library. I keeps telling me that she is set up on a different library, but I can`t figure out how to switch libraries.
This is getting quite frustrating, and I would appreciate help in figuring this out.
Thanks!!

You could have multiple libraries on one computer and then hold the Shift key down when startng iTunes to choose which library to use.
Or you can have everything in one Library with organized media and apps using multiple Apple IDs.
Which would you choose?

We have 150 iPads at our school. What effective ways have you found to update and download new apps to such a large number of iPads? Can I download different apps to different sub sets of our large group - or must they all have the same apps?

At our elementary school, our 150 iPads are separated into 5 subsets. Can I download different apps to each subset, or must they all have the same apps since they all share the same Apple ID. Some iPads are for grades k-2, and some are for 3-5. I'd like to have the best apps for the different grade levels on the iPads. Currently we have "iPad Carts" to house our iPads in, and could use them to upload and update apps all at once, but don't utilize this function as we have a custom set up for the iPads that is erased each time we update through the carts.

You can configure different set of apps for different groups of ipads.
You need an mdm to do this.

Can you set different sounds for different incoming email accounts?

Can you set different sounds for different incoming email accounts? Example, I have multiple email accounts on Mail. I would like the sound for my roadrunner account to be different from my .mac and personal website accounts. Is it possible to configure this or is there a script out there that someone knows about.
Thanks

You could choose None in Preferences > General > New Mail Sound and set up a rule for each account in Preferences > Rules as follows:
If [any/all] of the following conditions are met:
[Account] [AccountName]
Perform the following actions:
[Play Sound] [Sound]
Problem is, that would cause the sound to be played for junk mail as well — probably not what you want.

Setting different resolutions for different displays?, setting different resolutions for different displays?

Hi,
I have a 30" dell display that I have used with my MBP. I recently got a MBA and installed mountain lion. One of the things they inexplicably removed was the ability in the menu bar to set different resolutions for different displays. The only way I can get my Dell Monitor to work is to use mirroring. But I don't want mirroring. I want two separate displays. In Snow Leopard, the drop down display menu in the menu bar allowed you to pick different resolutions for different displays. Is there any possible way to do that in Mountain Lion?
Tom

Yes, assuming that the 8" display has a resolution that the Mac can support. When you open the Displays system preference, you'll get a settings window on each display (as long as the option for Mirroring isn't checked).
Regards.

Sync two iPhones with two different iTunes and iPhoto libraries script

I'm sure this is answered elsewhere, but I was not able to find a solution to this easily. My wife "L" and I, "J" have iPhones, also different tastes in music, and wanted a way to not have all of our own pictures filling up our default iPhoto library. So we first set up two different iTunes and iPhoto libraries. Two diffrent contact libraries would be nice, but contact groups worked okay for this. But then everytime we would sync, it meant opening both iTunes and iPhoto while holding the option key then selecting which library depending on which phone was going to be pluged in. Believe me, you only need to have "Automatically sync" turned on and plug in the wrong iPhone before all sorts of problems arise!
Let me state, I am not fluent with AppleScript, but rather I found bits and pieces close to what I wanted here and there on the www and kept playing until it worked. This works flawlessly everytime on our MacBook, and, unless your initials are J & L and there are only two of you, you will have to change some letters here and there throughout the script to make it work for your situation. Think of this as a rough draft and start to play. I'm sure there is a simpler way to write this script, so to all the real authors, please re-write!
So we have two libraries for iTunes and iPhoto. One set of libraries named J's iTunes library and J's iPhoto library, and another two named L's iTunes library and L's iPhoto library. I wanted to create one app that would close the current libraries, and open the correct ones (or return to our default libraries) depending on what iPhone was to be synced. Using AppleScript Editor and saving the script as an application, this is what I came up with:
display dialog "Do you want to continue to set iTunes and iPhoto libraries?" buttons {"Cancel", "Continue"} default button "Continue"
tell application "iPhoto" to quit
tell application "iTunes" to quit
set Y to the button returned of (display dialog "Which libraries do you want to use?" buttons {"L's", "Reset to Defaults", "J's"} default button "Reset to Defaults")
if Y = "Reset to Defaults" then set Y to "i"
if Y = "L's" then set Y to "l"
if Y = "J's" then set Y to "j"
tell application "System Events"
key down option
delay 1
          tell application "iPhoto"
activate
delay 3
                    tell application "System Events"
key up option
                    end tell
          end tell
end tell
tell application "System Events"
keystroke Y
          tell application "System Events"
key code 36
          end tell
end tell
delay 2
tell application "System Events"
key down option
          tell application "iTunes"
activate
                    tell application "System Events"
key up option
keystroke return
                    end tell
          end tell
end tell
tell application "System Events"
keystroke Y
end tell
tell application "System Events"
key code 36
end tell
if Y = "i" then tell application "iTunes" to quit
if Y = "i" then tell application "iPhoto" to quit

Hi, thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately this does not work because iTunes still keeps one account with the store active regardless which library I open. So when I switch the account in the store it will be switched for both libraries. That means that I can not separate the iPhone applications and all the other specific sync parameters.
I thought about using my wife's account on the Mac and pointing iTunes to the new library - the problem here is that then the iPhoto library is not accessible any more......
I can't really believe that there is no solution from Apple - I mean there must be more couples and families out there with 2 and more iPhones syncing with one iTunes / iPhoto etc libraries.
Any other ideas? Thanks in advance!

So my iPhone 5 has now killed my third set of earbud headphones (different manufacturers) is anyone else having this issue?

So my iPhone 5 has now killed my third set of earbud headphones (different manufacturers).
Thank goodness I have been getting the Best Buy product replacement plan each time. The headphones have each lasted about 5 months.
The first set, was the Apple in-ear headphones ($80), and they lasted 3 months. Got a new set as replacment from the Genius Bar and then sold them so I could get a name brand.
Second set was the Logitech - Ultimate Ears 350vi Earbud Headphones ($65) from Best Buy. Broke after 5 months and had the replacement plan.
So next was the Klipsch - Image Earset Model S4i ($100) also from Best Buy. Glad that I also got replacement plan on these too because they just died after 5 months as well.
The right side earbud goes out, and even using the accessability feature in the iPhone to change the balance, I cannot hear the volume.
Anyone else heard of such a thing?
BTW, I have an Otterbox case which covers the earphone port, so I highly doubt that there is any debris in there causing this.
And the headphones are in perfect condition otherwise.

Have you tried restoring your iPad (back uit all up, first!!!) and then adding apps one by one to see which one is the culprit?
Apps crashing on an iOS device could be the result of an app that is hogging memory. There is only 256 MB of working memory space in an iPad, and an app that demands a lot of memory can cause itself, or other apps, to unexpectedly quit.
The process of finding out which app may have introduced the instability may be a long and tiring process, but once you find the app that starts the trouble, you can contact its developer for assistance, and maybe send feedback on the problems you are having.
Apps can also crash due to corrupted preferences or other user data (probably due to the initial crash). Restoring your iPad from scratch can assist in resetting such data (but make sure you have backed up your data or moved it via iTunes to somewhere on your Mac or PC so that you can upload them back when your iPad has restored).
Lastly, although unlikely, your iPad may be suffering from a hardware malfunction (eg., bad RAM or flash storage). Doesn't hurt to take your unit to an Apple service provider for a diagnostic.

Hi, I have an iTunes account on my laptop set up to work with my old iPod. I now have an iPad and new iPod but set up under a different account- can I put all the songs from my iTunes onto the new devices. Thanks.

How do I uninstall the software from my computer to start the iPhone set up over again, as I have managed to set everything to several different email accounts, and want it all to operate from one?

I Have managed to set my software to different email accounts as I already had an apple acount to one email address because of my iPod, so I set it so my old email which is full of spam, making it impossible to organise. Therefore I created a new email which I can use efficiently, but how do I reset my account on my iPhone and the software on my computer so it can all operate as one? Please HELP!

Multiple Libraries: 2 sets of preferences?

When using multiple libraries, is it possible to have a set of preferences for each one? For example: I have an Apple Lossless library which contains all of my music and I’d like to create an AAC library for use with my Nano. When I create a new library and change the importing preferences to 256 AAC, those settings remain when I open my Apple Lossless library.

i got it. duh.
