Welcome to the Apple Community Mike.
Yes, I've heard that before, I believe it's correct.

We have two iTunes accounts on one computer. Why is my music, apps, etc showing in my husbands account? Home sharing is NOT selected. This recently became an issue when we added additional devices. Now we keep getting each other's apps!

Se descargan aplicaciones para mi iPad 64 3G, las cuales en el momento de sincronizar no pasan a la iPad debido a que solicita una autorizacion para el ordenador la cual se autoriza con ID y el Password, esta orden se procesa y vuelve a solicitar nuevamente la autorizacion y asi sucesivamente.
He intentado creando nuevas cuentas y desinstalando iTunes y volviendolo a instalar.
Favor de orientarme en la solucion adecuada para el asunto comentado anteriormente.

I have two ITunes accounts on one computer. One is a classic iPod, the other is for a Nano with a different user. Is it possible to "share" playlists? If so, how do I go about doing that?

videoDVD is a delivery format, normally end of the of the road...
but, you can convert dvds into something editable, you need 3rd party tools, your options are, in recommended order:
* DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
* Apple mpeg2 plugin (20$) + Streamclip (free)
* Cinematize >60$
* Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
* Toast6/7 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
* connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter

Can we have two iTune accounts on one computer

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to know if I can create two iTune accounts on one computer.
My teen and I right now share one account and the problem gets confusing
when we both want to use Itune gift cards (it's hard to keep track separately).
I have a 2nd gen Touch and my teen has a 2nd gen Nano but might be getting the newer nano. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You can. Log in and out as needed, or create a new Windows XP user account.

Can I turn off iTunes match on one computer only?

I have iTunes installed on two laptops, one at home and one at school (I'm a teacher). iTunes match has worked great for my home computer and iPad, BUT...I do not want my music on the school laptop. Is there a way to turn off iTunes match on one machine only? I thought I had turned it off, but when I went to add some audio books for school it said it was adding them to iTunes match and now the books show up on all my devices.
To be clear, I want to keep iTunes match for my personal laptop and iPad, but would like to turn it off on the school laptop.

Hi,
Yes. To turn off match Go to menu > store > and select turn off itunes match.
To turn it back on you need to turn on from same point but you will be asked to sign in and add this 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.

HT202213 Two Itunes libraries on one computer. Any way to share content between the two libraries?

We have 2 ITunes libraries on one computer. Is there a way to share movies, music, etc. between the two libraries?

To your second question, probably the easiest way is to set up another user account on your machine. Then when that user opens iTunes, it will be a new library (empty) that they can put anything they want into, and not corrupt your library.
With another user account, they can also customize their own desktop photo, desktop icons, etc. so lots of benefits doing it that way. Works out great for me and my 13 year old daughter so I don't have to see the latest Emo band hearthrob's face on my desktop.

Can you have two iTunes accounts on one computer?

Just bought a MacBook Air which I'm sharing with my husband. Is it possible to have two active iTunes accounts on one computer? We both have very different tastes in music and we have our own iPhones that we'd like to update differently. Would be great to have the option to separate our accounts.

Yes you can... and it's not that hard

can i have two itunes accounts on one computer

Hello Barry
It is a yes and no answer. Yes you can but you cannot have them in the same iTunes library or one of the accounts cannot be associated for 90 days. You would need to have either a separate user or separate iTunes library to have both Apple ID’s on the same computer.

Managing two iTunes users on one computer - a complicated scenario.

Here's my situation: I have two users/accounts on my computer. Each user wants access to all the media (music, podcasts, etc) on the computer.
However, there are a few specific constraints:
1) Each user's instance of iTunes should only display the media they want it to display (for example, if they don't want a certain song, they can remove it from their iTunes library, but it would still exist for the other user).
2) Star ratings, play counts, and other sort-of meta data must be unique for each user (for example, if user one assigns 5 stars to a particular song, that won't affect user two who only gave it 1 star).
3) If one user deletes media from their library it won't suddenly disappear from the other's library because the file has been deleted.
4) No duplicate copies of any given media file (for example, if both users like a particular song, there would not be two actual copies of that song's file laying around - each user's library would reference the same file).
5) No unused media files (for example, if neither user wants a particular song, the actual file would be deleted and would not just sit there unused eating up space).
I hope that makes sense. Any ideas?

I'm not worried about downloads from the iTunes music store (yet)... I'm primarily concerned with existing music. I tried following Apple's instructions for sharing music:
a) I moved both account's media folders to a shared location.
b) Then, using "Add to library" I added the contents of each media folder to the other's iTunes Library. At this point both users had access to all music, and star ratings/play counts were unique for each user.
c) If user A didn't like a song from user B's collection, and removed it from the library, it still appeared in user B's library. And vice versa. Great!
d) If user A didn't like a song from his own collection, and removed it from the library, it still appeared in user B's collection so long as user A didn't also trash the actual file. Great!
That left me with two problems: First, duplicate copies of song files. This wasn't a big deal because I could slowly weed them out - but still kinda annoying. And second, unused (by either user) copies of song still had their files there taking up space. This was problematic as I couldn't figure out a way to find these files and trash them.
I figured surely there was a better solution - be it how to handle the above problem, or a completely different method of setting things up to begin with.

Two iPhones and two iTunes accounts on one computer

My wife and I both have identical iPhones and my wife wants to give her laptop to my son. I thought that I could manage her iPhone from the same computer that I manage my iPhone from but I am having issues. If I logout of iTunes and login with her ID, iTunes does a backup of her phone but iTunes displays my apps, not hers.
I've searched this forum and cannot find the answer although I am confident that we aren't the first to want to do this.

Are you both using the same Windows login account or separate accounts? It sounds like you are trying to both use the same Windows login account as well as iTunes Library, which is probably where your problem lies.
I believe (but I haven't verified) that if you create a new iTunes Library for one of the two of you, you can each manage your own music & apps i your respective libraries. If you use separate Windows signon accounts, you can easily manage using different libraries, but it might be a bit more difficult using just one Windows account. All f this assumes you are using Windows since you don't clearly state, but similar could be applied to MacOS.
