Two i pods, one computer, how do we get separate i Tunes libraries??

Hubby and I share a computer. The internet account is in husbands name/on his log-in. I have had my own ipod for some time and my iTunes library is all set up and running via internet access on his login. My partner now has an iPod too and we want to have separate iTunes and separate ipods using the same computer. We followed set up for the new ipod and it does not offer a new separate itunes but started loading my stuff. Any ideas or help most welcome. Not very computer literate so simple language wil be helpful. Thanks

The following document might be of some assistance:

  • Running two iPods on one computer - how?

    I have an 80Gb iPod, but have increased my drive capacity to start also with a 160Gb iPod. I know I cannot have two iTunes apps running on the same drive, so how best to go about using two separate iPods on one iTunes app?
    I will have music on the 80 and collected speeches on the 160, and so I need to keep them separately synching.
    The whole point of the 500Gb outboard drive was to give me the iTunes capacity I need.My MacBook has just 160Gb, I don't want to change anything on that. i cloned it onto the LaCie drive.
    Any suggestions, please? Am I overlooking something simple here?

    Each iPod maintains its own sync settings. When the iPod is connected, adjust your sync settings to what you need and resync.

  • Two users on same computer how to use the same program and data

    Two users on one computer how to share a program and it's data

    As Kappy said, each of you should have your own account. By default all programs are installed in the Applications folder so all users on the computer will be able to use the software. With a few restrictions data you want to share between two users can be placed inside the Shared folder - look inside the Users folder for it. Data that gets placed in the Shared folder will retain the owner/creator's rights so if you want other user(s) to be able to do more than open the document you'll need to change the permissions of the file to include that user.

  • We synched two phones to one computer and updated both.

    She went through and deleted my contacts on her phone personally. They then were deleted off my phone. How can I get them back? I had tons of information that is now "gone"

    You may be able to restore a previous backup: iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software.
    Bear in mind that when using two phones on one computer that you cannot have separate information such as contacts or calendars. You can sync a different set of applications and music, but they come from the same main library.
    The only way you can each have completely different data for two phones is to have two Apple IDs and separate user accounts on the computer.
    iDevices are not multi-user devices like the ocmputer.

  • How do i get two ipods on one computer

    Ok How can I share songs with two ipods on one computer!!! Help PLEASE !!!!!!!!!1

    There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Have a look at the article linked below. Method one is to have two Windows accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Method two is to set your preferences so each iPod is updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look anyway and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer

  • HT1451 If I have two iTunes libraries on one computer, how do I know which one is opening when I click on the iTunes icon on the desktop?

    If I have two or more iTunes Libraries on one computer, how do I know which one is opening when I click on the iTunes icon on my desktop?

    You cannot.
    When you sync to a new library, it will erase the current content.
    Use your backup copy of the old computer to copy everything to the new one.

    You're welcome.
    All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the iPhone's Photo Library regardless if you select a single album or folder of photos to be transferred or multiple albums or folders. The photos on the albums or folders of photos include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. The photos are not duplicated taking up double the storage space. This way you can view the photos in an album or folder of photos only by selecting the album or folder, or all photos in all albums or folders by selecting Photo Library.
    Makes more sense when transferring multiple albums or folders of photos which cannot be changed when transferring only a single album or folder of photos.
    The same applies with iTunes and music playlists. A song can't be in a playlist unless it is in the main iTunes library. Placing a song in a playlist does not duplicate the song.

  • Computer crashed how to sync TWO iphones on one computer?

    Any help is appreciated. My PC that I sync my iphone on has crashed and I tried to sync my iphone on my wifes laptop, but she has an iphone as well. I can log into iTunes, but cannot see any of my podcasts, applications or information.
    Is there any way to sync two iphones on one computer?

    The easiest least complicated way to keep your info and her info seperate and not worry about things is to take advantage of user profiles on your computer (in XP)...so each of you log into XP with your own accounts, thus iTunes (and any other software like mail, etc) all have your own settings.
    Otherwise, you will have to watch which account is logged into iTunes Store (click store and see what name is up top right in case you both have different accounts)...and make sure you are logged in with the right account before syncing. iTunes does know the difference between your phones so each can setup different settings of what to sync to, but your library on your computer will be mixed unless you do what I said first, use different profiles (user logins) for XP.
