Unable to have same library from two different windows user accounts

I recently spent about a week organizing and getting info correct on all my "millions" of songs. All of my music is in my itunes music folder, and organized.
I went over to my wife's windows user profile, and on itunes the library was incomplete. so i used the "add folder to library" function, to update her library to include all of the songs in the itunes music folder. It worked fine. but when i went back to my windows user profile, i got the "original file could not be found" message, on the majority of my songs. as a quick fix I deleted my library and used the "add folder to library" function, to update.
now I get the "original file could not be found" message on her library.
the files don't move, the just are not recognized by itunes on more than one "side" of windows.
it goes back and forth like this.
how can i get itunes on both windows user profiles linked to the same library, or pointed in the same place?
thanks for the help

If I understand correctly, your library file is the good one.
The default path in XP is
C:\Documents and Settings\ username \My Documents\My Music\iTunes
Try this article about multiple libraries, and see if you can open your library in her account:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/7.6/en/15502.html
You will need to brwose to the path in your account. She needs enough windows privileges to read/write it.
She'll need full access if you're on Vista, and it will be a sightly different path.

  • I am using Windows 8 with iTunes.  How do I manage iTunes with two different Windows User Accounts?

    I have recently bought a laptop running Windows 8 and downloaded iTunes.  I subscribe to iTunes Match and have a large amount of purchased music and imported CDs, along with some films purchased from iTunes.
    I have downloaded all of the music and the films to the laptop using iTunes Match when logged in under my User Account in Windows 8.  However, when we switch to my girlfriend's User Account, she can load up iTunes but all the music and films have the cloud symbol on them indicating that they need to be downloaded
    Is is necessary to download everything to the computer twice (I can't really believe this is the answer) or are we missing something in terms of using iTunes with two different User Accounts?
    Thank you.

    Step 1
    Create a new user account on your device. For Mac users, choose “System Preferences” from the Apple Menu and navigate to the “View” menu. Click on “Accounts” and select the “+” button to add a new user account to your machine. Edit the user information and grant any relevant privileges by following the on-screen prompts.
    For Windows users, click on the Windows "Start" button, select “Control Panel” and choose “Add or Remove User Accounts.” A new window will open. Click “Create a New Account.” Name the account and set any relevant privileges by following the on-screen prompts.
    Step 2
    Sign in to the new user account you created.
    Step 3
    Open iTunes and click “Sign in.” Enter your Apple ID and password and log in.
    Step 4
    Download purchases through the iTunes store. All files related to these purchases are stored under the separate user account, thus separating both iTunes accounts and their libraries on the same computer.
    Step 5
    You can share music from both libraries by dragging your music library to a publicly accessible location on your computer. Click “Preferences” from the iTunes menu and deselect “Copy files to iTunes Media Library when adding to library file.” Add the shared folder to your library from the “File” menu.
    Tip
    Create more than one library from the same user account by deselecting “Copy files to iTunes Media Library when adding to library file” from the “Preferences” menu. Add the files you want to iTunes by dragging and dropping or by opening from the “File” menu and sync your device to that library. Quit iTunes after the sync and reopen iTunes while holding the "Shift" key in Windows or the "Option" key on a Mac.

    " When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
    Correct.
    " How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer?  "
    Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

  • How to handle an update of the same record from two different user JSP

    how do you handle an update of the same record from two different users in JSP... if one person updates the record from one drop downs should be updated as well.. is the possible.

    I'm not sure whether I understand your question. If one user changes a record then you would like other users to see those changes. Normally those changes will be visible to other users when they refresh their browser, after the first user has committed changes to the record. I you want to be sure that the same row isn't updated at the same time by to different user, you need to configure some locking (pessimistic locking) - this depends of what technology you use. In EJB3 pessimistic locking is performed by adding a version to every entity object. If you are using ADF, the framework is able to handle either pessimistic or even optimistic locking.
    If you want the changed row to be updated in other users browsers without any user interaction by these users, you should take a look at Reverse Ajax (ex. DWR http://ajaxian.com/archives/reverse-ajax-with-dwr) - or Ajax in general. But you will never get a realtime solution, where changes is visible in other users browsers right after each record update.

    how to handle an update of the same record from two different user
    how do you handle an update of the same record from two different users in JSP... if one person updates the record from one drop downs should be updated as well.. is the possible.

    Usually, if two users try to update the same row at the same time, you want the first to commit to succeed, and when the second commits, they should fail with the error that the row was being concurrently updated. They you may want to show them the new row values and give them the opportunity to merge their values with the new row values...
    How can you achieve this? Google optimistic locking.

  • How do I maintain a single iTunes library for two separate iMac user accounts?

    How do I maintain a single iTunes library for two separate iMac user accounts?...without having to manually do something every download?

    Pardon me, I am brand new at using an iMac.  I understand the concept but I don't know exactly how to "move" the library.  I found a shared folder under users on the hard drive.  If I move it, won't I have to redirect each iTunes user to the new shared location?
    If I point iTunes to anything other than the music folder under that user name, it shows as a "shared library".  Preferences still shows it as that users library, regardless of where the advanced gear button says it is pointing to.
    Am I asking for too much to have each user control the exact same music files, apps and playlists?  I just want the two different itunes sessions to mirror each other without any frequent updating or copying.
    We use the same id for itunes music and apps so we could just sync all devices under one iMac user id and not use it under hers.

  • Sale of same material from two different storage loactions

    hi,
    how can i configure to sale same material code from two different storage loactions?
    for eg if material code is 15000 and it is extended in two storage location A and B.My requiremnet is i want to sale from both storage loction at same time A and B both.How can i map it?
    thanks
    Nakul

    Dear Nakul Raj,
    If you want to sale same material from different storage locations it can be done.
    First raise the sales order enter the material code and quantity as a first line item and give the storage location "A" in item shipping tab.
    Then give the same material code and quantity (how much you want to send) as a second line item with storage location "B".
    Then save the document, do the delivery, the storage locations will be copied from order to delivery, if you want to change you can do so.
    Do the PGI.
    Hope it will resolve your issue.
    Please reply if any further clarifications
    Kindly try and let me know the result
    Thanks&Regards

  • Missing files using the same library on two different macs and other minor problems

    Hi everybody,
    I'm working on a long documentary and I'm new to FCPX (coming from Avid NC and Edius)...I have and external HD where I stored all the media I'm working with (about 1/2T - 1000 clips)...The library (about 100gb) is stored on the internal drive of my iMac and into the iCloud.
    Yesterday, I received my new MacBook and today I tried to work on it. I followed this steps: I downloaded from iCloud the same library I was working with, I put it on the same folder (movies) it was stored on my iMac and I connected my external HD with all the media...Results? All the clips where gone and the red missing file warning was all over the place.
    FIRST QUESTION: How can I work on both computer overcoming this missing files problem? I know I should have put the library on the same external drive but It was a move aiming to
    SUB QUESTION 1:
    I went back to my iMac and everything worked fine except for a warning about one of my events (the exclamation point) as you can see from this pic:
    I tried to relink the file...but no files to be linked popped up in the relink file window....HOW CAN I KNOW what's wrong in that event in order to fix it?
    SUB QUESTION 2:
    I checked the Library info and - as you can see in the pic below - there are 43mb of media in my internal HD...is this maybe the problem preventing me from working on different macs? I tried to consolidate everything to the external HD but still the 43mb thing persist in being on the internal HD. How can I find where exactly it is located? How can I move it to the external HD given that the consolidate option isn't working?
    Thank you in advance for your help
    Nico

    1) Don't know why this is happening. It may have something to do with
    I downloaded from iCloud the same library I was working with
    I'm not clear what procedure you're using here. Using a cloud for storage might change some file tags. Generally users I think keep the library on the same drive as the media, keeping the library backups on the system. There is no real benefit in keeping the media in a separate location. Often users will keep the library in the same folder as the media. It makes backing up using tools like Carbon Copy Cloner very efficient.
    1a) This can be difficult to find as there sometimes is no obvious indicator. It might be a missing element in a compound clip, a missing or altered layer in a graphics file, a missing font, a missing effect. These will show up inside the item involved, but may not be apparent in the browser. A missing transition for instance will not be seen until you skim over the project or try to export it.
    2) The 43 MB is a small amount of optimized media. This never prevents relinking. The library is always looking for original media, or proxy media if you're in proxy playback. It never looks for optimized media. If it has it, it uses it, if it doesn't, it uses the original media. If you are using original/optimized playback, you must have the original files. The optimized files are not enough.

  • Question about sampling data of same device from two different sub-vi

    Hi all:
    Now I am using NI 6040E DAQ card, 1001 chasis, SCXI-1102 (32 channel AI) , SCXI-1300, SCXI-1160 16-ch realy, SCXI-1324 to implement  measurement data collecting.
    But I meet a problem, when I  run two sub-vi at same time, and sampling data from different channel the SCXI-1001 chasis. 
    (For example:    in the 1st sub-vi, the system samples data from channel 0-10. and  in the 2nd sub-vi,  the data from channel 11 should be collected)
    It seems, it is not possible,  anybody have a good idea about it.
    Best regards

    Hi Hanwei,
    All the channels in the SCXI use the same multiplexer, ADC and sample clock; that is the reason why it is not possible to run multiple applications in one SCXI module. There is a knowledge base that could be helpful in this case: Can I Use One SCXI Module in Multiple LabVIEW Applications at the Same Time? Hanwei, is there a specific reason why you have the acquisition separated into two different tasks? Is it possible to have channel 11 in the same task with the other channels?

  • Comapre 2 same channels from two different dat filea

    Hi ,
    I want to compare the wave forms of two same channels names (in my sample data which is in attachment, the same channel names are S1KNSLLE00H3DSZP) from different dat  file(S2100044 and S2100041) .
    Load the 2 dat files from navigator.
    Come to report and open two 2d axis systems to see the wave forms of two different channels ( Like in attachment result.jpg)
    I need an autosequence to do the same for all the channels for 2 dat files automatically.

    cmp.zip ‏1967 KB
    result.JPG ‏158 KB

    Hi RSH,
    I appreciate you posting 2 data files and the jpg, but I'm afraid I still have lots of questions before I can advise you.  You sent 2 *.dat files which each had 1 channel in them named "Data", which is different from your email text and the jpg you posted.  Will your data sets typically have many channels in them?  Your posted *.dat files had no time channel and the "Data" channel was not a waveform channel, yet the 2 different "Data" channels were different lengths.  Do you want to plot your channels vs. the array index all the time (as is shown in your jpg)?
    Do you want to have N sheets in REPORT, one for each channel?  Why don't you want to have both "S1KNSLLE00H3DSZP" channels as curves with different colors on the same graph-- wouldn't that make it easier to compare them?
    When you drag over the data channel onto a REPORT graph, you will get a reference like "[1]/Data" or "[2]/Data", which is exactly what you want to compare the "Data" channel from 2 arbitrary data files (note that the file name does not show up in the channel references).  So it seems to me that the REPORT layout you sent a jpg of already satisfies what you're asking us to create for you.  Why do you need a script at all?

  • How-to consolidate bookmarks from 2 different Windows users

    I have a few user names on my Desktop PC. I am running Windows 7 Home. And would like to consolidate my bookmarks lists.
    In other words so each user gets the same bookmarks listing containing the sites of every one of the users put together in an amagamated form without repeats; a sort of an unique Master List of all bookmarks to be installed for every user to have it as soon as they open Firefox.
    I am running Firefox 3.6 17, how do I make that Master List?
    Is that what is described as 'syncing'?
    Thank you kindly

    It will involve a small amount of work.
    The basic process is export the bookmarks to an HTML file, then import the HTML files to one user account. You can then use an add-on to eliminate the duplicates. Finally you can export the master list to a JSON file, and then restore the JSON file to the other computers.
    * To export to an HTML file - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Exporting+bookmarks+to+an+HTML+file
    * To import the HTML files - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Importing+Bookmarks+from+an+HTML+File
    Note: The article refers to selecting "Organize Bookmarks" in the bookmarks menu, if any of the computers are using Firefox 4, you need to select "Show All Bookmarks" instead.
    Once you have amalgamated the bookmarks into one user account, you can use the CheckPlaces add-on to remove any duplicates - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/checkplaces/
    Finally, for details of how to export the bookmarks to a JSON file, and restore that file on the other computers, see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Backing+up+and+restoring+bookmarks
    If you want to keep the bookmarks in sync, the Firefox Sync add-on may be of use to you (this is built into Firefox 4) - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/firefox-sync/

  • Not finding library from shared folder across user accounts

    Hello all knowledgeable people. Hopefully one of you will tell me what I am doing wrong.
    I recently moved my iTunes Media Folder to a Time Capsule. In iTunes (10.0.1) on the user account where the collection was and subsequently moved, I can see, listen & watch all iTunes media. However when I added two other user accounts to my iMac (OS X 10.6.4) I can not get either user account to attach themselves to the iTunes library. I have changed the prefs and to tell it the collection is on the Time Capsule, and yes it is connecting with the username and password saved.
    Any ideas on remedying this will be very welcome
    Many Thanks

  • Can I have the same library on two different computers

  • Syncing the same library from two computers

    If I have both computers with the same music for each library, can I somehow sync from both of them?

    As Katrina says the iPod family is designed to sync with a single library. I clone my library to a portable drive using SyncToy 2.0, a free tool from MS. I run this both at home & work so that I essentially have three identical copies of my library for backup redundacy, any of which I can use to update my iPods. I use iTunes Folder Watch occasionaly in case I've managed to download, for example, a podcast at one location but overwrite the library with a newer copy updated at the other. It can be done but you need to take considerable care...
