Using more than one i-Tunes library

Ahem - apologies if this is a bit of a thicko question - but does anyone know if it's possible to use two i-Tunes libraries i.e. I have one on my MAC at home and a totally different one on my PC at work - but when I plug my Shuffle in to either one to add tracks it asks me if I want to change the link, wipe off all my songs from the shuffle and replace with the alternative library. Given that I can use both computers to download i-Tunes it doesn't seem to make sense.
Cheers

Sorry, but to the best of my knowledge, there's no way to use different libraries to feed an iPod shuffle. The other iPods have a manual mode where you can load tracks from more than one library, but the iPod shuffle does not have that manual mode.

I keep my library on an external hard drive 4TB. It's full. Can I use more than one hard drive to keep my library on?

I keep my iTunes library on an external hard drive 4TB. It's full. Can I use more than one hard drive to keep my library on? Like two 4TB next to each other.

Create a concatenated disk set
Increase storage space with a concatenated RAID set (also called “Just a Bunch of Disks” or JBOD). If you need one large disk, but you have only several smaller disks, you can create a concatenated disk set to use several small disks as one large disk.
Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in Launchpad.
Select one of the disks that you want in the set, and then click RAID.
Click Add (+), and type a name for the RAID set.
Choose a format from the Format pop-up menu. Usually you’ll choose the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format.
Choose Concatenated Disk Set from the RAID Type pop-up menu.
Drag the disks you want to add to the set to the list on the right.
Click Create.
Exerpt from:
Disk Utility 12.x: Create a RAID set - Apple - Support
Note that the biggest CON to concatenated RAID configurations is vulnerability to volume failure. If either disk fails, the whole volume fails. If you choose this option, I would highly recommend backing up your music to a cloud service. There are very cheap per GB/storage, and some of the most reputable actually offer unlimited storage:

Can I use more than one iTunes account with my apple TV?

That depends what you mean. If you mean can you purchase from more than one iTunes account on the Apple TV, then the answer is no. If you mean can you stream from more than one iTunes library, which use different accounts, then the answer is yes, so long as they both use the same ID and password for homesharing.

Using More Than One iPod On One Computer

Hi everyone,
I am sure my question will be an easy one to answer for the right person - who will no doubt have more experience than Apple's helpline which I just tried.
I have a 60gb iPod with Colour display, which syncs with my iTunes (version 7.0) (currently at about 45gb) on a Windows XP machine. I have seen the new range of iPods and am very keen on getting one of the new Shuffles. My question is: can I use both iPods with the same iTunes, same music library, and on the same computer.
Any responses would be very gratefully received. If anyone happens to know what the student discount (as in how many %) is on the Apple Store then I'd also like to know.
Many thanks in advance,
Edd

Yes, you can use more than one iPod on the same computer.
If you don't want the same music on both, this article discusses two methods of setting it up:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432
My wife and I use Method Two in that article, and include the Recently Added smart playlist so that if either of us adds a song, it will be on both iPods for a few weeks.
The one thing to keep in mind is you will want to avoid having them both connected simultaneously. This article has more information:

Using more than one computer...

I've been trying to wrap my head around syncing using more than one computer and want to see if I have it right.
Obviously the easiest arrangement is to have one computer and one iphone (and if you want, one mobileme acct) and keep them in sync in all departments.
Most people have more complicated lives.
When there is more than one computer involved the basic idea is that all media and apps can only come from one computer. That is the computer/itunes program associated with the iphone.
When it comes to a second computer, one can still sync contacts, calendars, (notes? bookmarks?) but no media/apps.
That is to say, you can't download a podcast or song on the second computer and get it onto your iphone without erasing your iphone media library.
Is that the basic idea? A distinction between media/software and data?
One grey area: Can voice memos be moved from an iphone onto a second computer without losing media?
Thanks,
D.

If you sync to a computer without media, it will wipe all media off the phone. It's easier to stick to one computer. If you want to sync other things, calendars etc it's better to do it via WiFi or Data.

Using more than one external drive with apple tv and itunes

I've searched the forums and haven't found a clear answer for this. Is it possible to use two seperate drives for the itunes library? I've already filled up my external firewire drive and would like to get another one.
I've read in several places that people are doing this, but haven't found clear instructions on how its done.
Much thanks!

I don't think you can have more then one folder designated as you itunes library folder, so you can not have more then one drive for your library folder. However you can use more than one drive for you content. I have 6 drives that I use right now. I store the movies and tv shows on those drives. I drag a movie into then library tab in itunes and it just links itunes to the path of the movie. To do this however you have to unclick a option in itunes. It is the menu that you tell the path to you library, you have to unclick “copy to your library” not sure if this is the exact name of this. If you don't do this it will try to copy the movie you dragged in instead of linking it. I actually have nothing in my Itunes library folder. You can also do this with purchased content as well. Just move the purchase content to a drive of your choice from the itunes library. Delete it from itunes. Then drag it into itunes from the new drive. I hope this all makes sense, let me know if you have any other questions.

Can't use more than one computer

It appears to be impossible to use more than one computer with the shuffle.
Connecting to another computer results in choosing between erasing the library and linking to the second computer's library or not mounting the iPod.
I did not expect this behavior and it is very deceptive.
Tech support seems unable to figure it out. If it can't do it then the techs should say so and the literature should so indicate it
Very unlike what I expect from Apple

Apple cannot aid in the ability to load entire music
libraries from different computers onto one pod as it
would be prone to copyright infringement abuse. That
is why what you are requesting to be done is not
automatic through iTunes.
I understand that. My daughter downloaded purchased music using her sister's computer and the gift card from her sister whom she was visiting on their shared birthdays .
I agree that tech support should just told you
directly what you wanted to know but you are equally
at fault for assuming this ability ever existed
without doing 5 minutes of research.
A simple google of the terms would have yielded the
answer you wanted.
When she got home she wanted some help putting some more music on her shuffle (a gift from us) from a cd of a friend's local band to use during her last chemo treatment the next day. Her Mac is running 8.6 so she asked me to do it for her.
I dragged the files and dropped them on the ipod icon for her thinking that would be the simple Apple way.
Couldn't play them, though I could see them. Couldn't see the purchased music (when double clicking the icon) but could hear the music. That started the search.
I do appreciate the copyright issue but Apple tech should have known the answer right away, not after the fourth tech contact. No where does it state simply that one cannot do this and I don't agree that I am at fault to assume that I could.

Value Set Use More Than One table

folks, is there a way to use more than one table in the value set of type table?

ok if i want to create a view and then when i'm trying to create a table value set. what application should i be selecting? i have created my view in apps schema. if i look in application object library then i do not see it in the list. So i need to register this view? and i think we could not register the views. We could only register tables in apps.Yes you can -- In the Value Sets form (Edit Information button), you can set the view name in the "Table Name" field, and write a (Where/Order by) condition in the same window.

Hey there,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
There are several ways of handling multiple iPods on one computer. I would check out this Apple support document, which offers instructions and explanations on a few different methods for handling this situation. Hope it helps.

Can I use more than one Apple ID on one device

I have seen some answers to this type of question before but not that since the ios 6 so will ask again. My household shares an Apple ID and it has worked great as we have added devices and purchased apps. My problem now is this, we have hit a point where I have work things on my iPad and iPhone that I really don't need to be shared with the whole family but it isn't a major deal or security risk. I don't want to give up the advantages of having the household ID. Is there an easy way to have another ID on my iPad and switch between them without having major complications? I am for the most part a techie so not afraid of these kind of things but I can't afford to lose everything right now and take the time to set it all back up so getting advice here. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

You can use more than one apple id, but keep in mind that when apps need updating that you'll will need to sign in with correct credentials to update them.
Share an apple id for the itunes and app stores, but keep your own for icloud, facetime and messages.

Can we use more than one Help Provider class in a same project in ADF11g

Hi All,
There are two help providers i want to use .They are "ResourceBundleHelpProvider","OHW Help Provider"
In adf-settings.xml file
<help-provider>
<help-provider-class>oracle.adf.view.rich.help.ResourceBundleHelpProvider</help-provider-class>
<property>
<property-name>baseName</property-name>
<value>com.symmetry.dashboard.panels.Help</value>
</property>
</help-provider>
if try to register both help providers confliction occurs. Is it possible to register and use more than one help provider.?
Thanks in advance.:)

Thanks Frank,
In adf-settings.xml file
<help-provider>
<help-provider-class>oracle.adf.view.rich.help.ResourceBundleHelpProvider</help-provider-class>
<property>
<property-name>baseName</property-name>
<value>com.symmetry.dashboard.panels.Help</value>
</property>
</help-provider>
<help-provider prefix="RB_">
<help-provider-class>oracle.help.web.rich.helpProvider.OHWHelpProvider</help-provider-class>
<property>
<property-name>ohwConfigFileURL</property-name>
<value>/myHelpset/config.xml</value>

<property>
<property-name>baseURI</property-name>
<value>http://127.0.0.1:7101/Dashboard_workflow/myHelpset/%3c/value>
</property>
</help-provider>
I differentiated the help providers with the "prefix" attribute in the <help-provider> tag. So now confliction is not occuring between those.
I used this prefix in the "helpTopicId" property of the adf components like "input text box" . I got the result. :)

Sim free is not enough, you can use different sim if it's unlock.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only use one ID for purchasing from the Apple TV, but you can stream content from multiple libraries even though they have different ID's
