Struggling with one iTunes 10 Library and two kids

I'm struggling with iTunes 10 and the music Library.  My two kids both have ipod touches, and each wants a different subset of whats in the library.  Whats the best way to manage this when each kid wants to add/delete music? 
Should each kid be running iTunes from their own profile?  But then could I keep the one libary or will I need seperate copies?   Could we instead make seperate playlists for each kid with their selection and somehow sync to those songs only?
My iTunes library consisting of a large collection of mp3 files, which I'd rather not have multiple copies of on the same computer.  In the preferences > Advanced settings I've specified the media folder location path and selected the checkboxes to keep the folder organized and to copy media when added to the library.  In Preferences > Devices, I've selected to prevent automatic syncs and somewhere else I've selected to manually manage music selections.

Jon,
You should be able to do what you want. However, keep in mind these caveats, by design, the iphone will sync itunes content with ONE computer at a time. Thus, if you start syncing such content to your wife's phone from your account if you decide to switch to her account, all itunes content on her phone will first be erased & then replaced with the content from her account. You can sync as many devices as you want to the same itunes account, there is no limit. So yes, you can sync itunes content from your account to your wife's phone.
First, disable auto sync, under preferences, in both your accounts.
What you would do is make sure that there are no checks in any boxes regarding itunes content under your wife's login...the only thing you'll be syncing under her login is contacts & calendars. When she connects her phone under your login, make sure there are no checks in any boxes regarding contacts or calendars, the only thing you'll be syncing is itunes content.
Since you can sync as many devices as you want to the same itunes account, itunes will keep everything straight by device. Thus, once you set things up, from that point on itunes will recognize what device is what & sync accordingly.

  • Why does it tell me my ipad is synched with another itunes library and wants to erase the thing when I want to synch it?  I haven't synched it with any other mac but my own.

    Hi Lisa,
    I know from experience that this must be a frustrating situation for you especially if you don't want to loose the music/video content that is currently on your ipod. Unfortunately though you may have to consider re-syncing it as it thinks its currently synced with another computer.
    If you bought any music that is on the ipod through itunes you can opt to right click the ipod in itunes and 'transfer purchases' if you authorise your library in the 'Store' menu in itunes. Some reasons for this happening may include some of the following:
    Deleting and reinstalling your itunes on the computer.
    Removing the account you had on the computer you used itunes in and making a new one. (User account, eg: Lisa).
    Changing computers in the past.
    A friend or family member syncing it on their computer to give you there music.
    A sign of a failing iPod.
    Alternatively you can opt to not sync it and keep the music that is on your ipod there but this means you will never be able to update your ipod.
    Hope this helps!

  • Details needed for using two hard drives with one iTunes library

    I posted this under the iTunes section but now that I think of it, it's more of an Apple TV question since I'm only concerned about how it affects my 2 ATVs.
    I have a MacMini(G4) that acts as a media server for our 2 ATVs. I use one library on the Mini which has been using an external 750GB drive. However, I'm at nearly 95% capacity now and want to invest in another external drive and use both. So the question I posted on the iTunes section was...
    "With far too much content in iTunes (mostly for the Apple TVs) and after reading numerous posts about using external hard drives with iTunes I'm convinced that using two external drives is my best solution.
    However, I did want to understand a bit more about the details of how iTunes will manage or at least keep track of, the media. Specifically, I'm thinking of the case were I add a movie to iTunes library (of course it will not copy the file into the iTunes folder).
    What will occur if I later change any of the tags for the movie (e.g., name, genre, year, etc.). Will iTunes update this information and then update the Apple TVs once they resync with the iTunes library?"
    So for the very knowledgeable folks here on the ATV section, what exactly does iTunes do in this case? Will my genres be updated correctly if I change something even though the content is not copied to the iTunes folder?

    If you want to use two external drives to store your itunes content, there are a couple of ways you could go about it.
    You could choose to have just movies (for example) on one HDD and everything else on the other. You could further choose to have your itunes music folder on one HDD and have all content copied to it by default. When it comes to movies (in this example) you can place these on your second HDD and add them to itunes by using OPT-drag, which will temporarily disable itunes from copying the file to your itunes library.
    You could also entirely disable disable itunes copying files to your itunes music folder from the itunes preferences and manually manage all your content.
    Personally I'd just buy a 2 TB (for example) drive and ebay your old drive once you have moved everything from it to your new one.

  • Can I use two Macs with one iTunes library?

    I currently have an iMac with my iTunes library stored on an external drive, and a shiny new MacBook Pro waiting for me at the Apple Store. If I transfer my entire library from the external drive to a new MacBook, can I still access my library seemlessly on my old iMac [possibly using Home Sharing]? I would like to use both computers to access the same content, in an office and then mobile setting.
    Also, if I continue to make purchases on my old iMac from Amazon or eMusic, is there a way to automatically store/transfer those on the new MacBook, the same way they are automatically stored on the external drive now?
    I do have the capability and plan on connecting my external drive to my AirPort Extreme after the transfer, if that makes any difference.

    See I wouldn't want to necessarily make a copy, but rather copy the library itself; so it is no longer stored on the external drive, and it's new home would be the MacBook Pro. I was wondering if I could access the MacBook library from my iMac the same way I access the external drive on my iMac. Or if I'm overthinking the Home Sharing service and really have nothing to worry about.
    I do have my entire library in the iCloud, and am a Match subscriber, but it is important that I have the songs actually stored on my MacBook so I can access them when I am without an internet connection.

  • How to sync 2 iPhones with 1 iTunes library and have separate settings?

    Hi,
    in the family we have one Mac that hods all the music within iTunes. We have two iPhones which are currently linked with this iTunes library. As we have different apps and different settings the iphones get confused with the apps and especially with the iPhone settings (I have mobileme, my wife not). So now we both have each others notes for example synced to both iPhones.
    We would like to separate the whole thing now - is there any save way to have these iPhones synced separately to the one iTunes library without loosing data?
    Thanks.

    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!

  • How do i sync my iphone with my itunes library and my mom's itunes library

    I just bought an iphone and was wondering how do I sync it to my itunes as well as my mom's for music. I did this with our ipods but now i can't seem to do it. The libraries are on the same computer, just different profiles.

    Unlike the iPod, the iPhone will synch with only ONE iTunes library at a time.

  • When trying to manually manage my music and videos on itunes its telling me that im already signed up to one itunes library and if i apply these setings it will replace my current itunes library. is this safe and would i be able too retrieve my deleted mu

    when trying to manually manage my music and videos on itunes its telling me i am already connected to another itunes library and that if i apply these settings it will delete all of my data and replace it with the current itunes library. will this just delete from the i tunes library or from my i tunes account all together?

    Thanks for your reply. I don't keep all of my music in the iTunes' designated music folder. I don't like the way iTunes reorganizes my songs and I keep all my music in my own self organized music folders as I don't use iTunes as my primary media application. Not to mention allot of my files come from all different corners of my computer's hard drive. It would literally take months to go through over 20 gigs of media files to pick out the songs I have in my iPhone library to rebuild an iTunes library. Like i said, I don't even use iTunes other than to transfer files to my iPhone. I thought the purpose of manually managing the files was so you don't have to sync it with the iTunes library but now it won't give my that option without requiring me to delete everything on my phone I worked so hard on.
    What I don't understand is logically or technically why iTunes HAS to delete all the content off of my iphone. Who's decision in the Apple's software engineering department was to require the one's iPhone to be erased if someone loses their iTunes library? Its frustrating because it makes no sense and I feel as if the software is punishing me for reasons I don't understand by threatening to delete all my content off my phone. Is there absolutely no way to transfer my music to my iPhone without deleting everything currently on and completely rebuilding my music library from scratch?

  • One iTunes Library for two users

    You guessed it. I'm wondering if it's possible for two users to share a single iTunes Library. I tried moving one user's existing Library to HD/Users/Shared which allowed the other user to select the files as a Library, but now I may only add files to the Library by individually Authenticating each one, while the other User can't change the Library at all.
    I have Administrative authority on the computer and the other user has none. Is there a better way to share one music library and save space?
    Thanks.

    Aaron, my roommate and I have shared a Mac for close to 3 years now. We each have our own account names and each have our own iPods. While it is possible to share the same library, we have never found a way to mirror the two iTunes libraries EXACTLY.
    To start, you need to create your default music folder location on a shared drive. Make sure that in both user's iTunes Preferences, you identify the same shared music folder!
    Once that is done you can then import all of your music into that directory location, but after User#1 is finished importing music, User#2 needs to File/Add to Library and select the iTunes music folder location (once you do this it should not need to be changed again).
    Keep in mind one important thing: If either user deletes a song or makes edits, you will need to immediately switch to the other account and remove the song title (if the first user deleted it) or click on the edited song's name to refelect the edit.
    Does this sound cumbersome? It sure does, but it's the only way we have been able to "live in harmony."
    Email me anymore of your questions.

  • Splitting in NEW GL with one profit center and two segments

    What options are avialble for splitting in New GL when there should be one profit center and two segments - maybe characteristic derivation could solve it?

    If I have understood your question correctly then you have one profit center and you want to attach two segments to it.
    Segment is higher level than the profit centre. One segment can have n number of profit centres but one profit centre will have only one segment. This is the drawback in using the 'segment' in SAP. Also, it is difficult to change sengment embedded in profit centre master. 
    You might try using profit centre groups than segment.

  • Sharing ONE iTunes Library on TWO Macs (Mac and MacBook) Using Airport Extr

    I did put this thread in the Airport Extreme forum, but I have moved it here on advice.
    I realise that this has probably been answered a million times on this forum, so I apologize in advance. I recently bought an Airport Extreme and connected to my wireless home network, my internet speeds have increased (don't ask me why because I don't know) and I am really happy with the results, I have just one issue which I am hoping to resolve.
    I have a iMac in my study, and a MacBook which I use all around the house. I have an external hard drive connected to the AEBS which has all of my files on, including my iTunes music. The problem is, I download music on both computers, and if I download a track or a movie onto the itunes library of one, it doesn't appear on the other computer, even though both iTunes apps are pointing to the same folder on the external hard drive.
    The question I have is, how do I make both itunes libraries share the same library, so if I add a song on my mac it will automatically appear on my macbook when i use it next.
    Both macs are fully up to date, and running Leopard
    Many Thanks
    JC

    This is really an iTunes question. How do you configure a remote library which updates properly for all clients?
    I suggest that you ask in the iTunes discussion area.

  • HT3819 Can I set up two different IPODs on one computer with one iTunes library but keep them separate by user of the iPOD?

    I need to add my husband's iTunes library to my Apple comnputer that has iTunes and my library on it already - can I add his device and keep it separate from mine?

    CherylMoran wrote:

    You should create a new compuer login account for him (System prefs > Users & Accounts) and he will have all his own data including his own iTunes library.
    Also, you can have more than one device in iTunes and sync different content.

  • Can I use two apple tv's with one itunes library?

    I have been looking for a way to store my DVD's on a hard drive and watch them via my Apple TV as they are taking up too much space on my shelves. My first thought was to buy a large external hard drive and rip the dvd's using Handbrake for my streaming to my Apple TV gen 3 but I remembered that I still have my original 160gig Apple TV gen 1 which pretty much works as a large iPod for movies when syncing content rather than streaming.
    So my plan would be :
    1. Rip and add the dvd's to my iTunes library
    2. Manually sync the movie files to the Apple TV 1
    3. Delete the movies from iTunes to avoid using large amounts of computer hard drive space.. (this shouldn't interfere with the content on the Apple TV as syncing manually)
    4. Connect the Apple TV to my TV to watch movies.
    Can I have both of my Apple TV's connected to my iTunes library?
    Are there any con's to using the old 1st gen Apple TV in this manner? For instance, I know there is no HDMI connection and the processor is older and slower than the newer versions.
    It would be a shame to not be able to put the 160gig of hard drive space on the older Apple TV to good use, especially as it still works perfectly.. and it was a refurb when I bought it!

    We cannot comment on your plans to copy DVD's but I have a number of Apple TV 1's, 2's and 3's all working together without a problem.
    On the idea of keeping your content on your Apple TV 1 and deleting it from iTunes, you may want to read my article on this topic.

  • Syncing one itunes library between two imac's

    In itunes 10, I enabled home share on my two imac's. One imac is new, the other mac has my itunes library.
    I signed onto both imac's home shares with the "same" apple ID. The items library on my old imac now shows up in the new imac itunes library in my itunes list as "joes itunes library".
    Now... how can I sync or copy the entire library between the two imac's, using some sort of "sync" process? I noticed an "import" button at the bottom looking at the "joes itunes library" list on the new imac. If I highlight one selection, it will import that into the new imac itunes library. But i didn't really want to highlight every single movie, tv and music file then import. I was hoping there was a "sync" method to keep both imac itunes libraries mirrored. There must be a way to do this?

    When using homeshare, I realized I CANNOT buy new media thru itunes.
    When buying music, apps or video, the purchase fails.
    Says "contact itunes support to complete transaction".
    Tried several times.
    Even changed credit cards on the acct. Still no go.
    Not a credit card issue
    iTunes tech was pretty much clueless. Told me to try the purchase
    after waiting 24 hours.
    Then I started thinking about homeshare and media rights, so I turned off
    homeshare on both mac's, and the purchase went thru.
    Apple added homeshare to the latest itunes update, or media share (what ever they call it), but looks like something is at issue as to media rights and homeshare and buying from itunes with share is enabled.

  • Can I share one iTunes library on two Macbooks
