Why can't I have more than one library?

I've got multiple iTunes libraries- one on a computer at home, one on a computer at school. But whenever I try to access my new Shuffle iPod, on library always wants me to delete the other and replace it. What's up with that? Can I bypass it?
If I can't, where's the uproar? This is NOT user-friendly, Apple!

This how Apple has chosen to design the iPhone, likely to make piracy more difficult. It has never been any different.
Put everything on one computer, in one library, and sync from there.

    Hi Diovani
    Two different processes can have different task initiators...task initiator means creation of a process instance which can happen only once

  • Why can't I have more than one iTunes linked t my iPod

    I have Macs for years, all sorts, I currently actively use, iMac g417,iMac g5 20, iMac intel 24. G4 Mac Mini,Intel Mac Mini, G5 tower, G4 Tower, powerbook g4 and mac book. Yes I know but I work from home with Mac all day...
    I have thousands of songs, all legal, I'm old and have huge CD collection.. I have them spread around the Macs.
    I want to add different playlist from different iTunes to my iPod, just want to drag and drop. Don't care about iTunes store, my CD, my Macs, My iTunes, My Ipod, Not pirating any thing here, WHY CAN I NOT SIMLY DO THIS. I'm forced to go with another player that does not have these retrictions

    Hi Dean, I have no problems using my iPod simultaneously with my notebook and desktop (iBook G4 & iMac G5). All you need to do is un-check the "sync" iPod with iTunes box, or check manually manage music... whatever it is. As long as you are manually managing everything, it should not give you any problems. You can drag and drop to your heart's content! A few notes: MP3 CD's... are amazing, because you don't actually have to import them to your computer, you can just drag and drop the tunes onto your iPod. It might be to your advantage to back up your music libraries on MP3 CD's, the initial process is slightly tedious, but well worth it because you can always create CD's in the future if necessary and free up GB of your hard drive (I'm sure you already thought of this though, you sound pretty savvy.) The ONLY problem I do encounter is sometimes the iTunes on my G5 will just close on me. The trick is to only MANAGE the music from the initial iTunes regardless of where you ADD music from... if that makes sense. Alright, good luck and if you have any questions or anything needs clarifying, just drop me a line (or reply or whatever) Good Luck!
    P.S. I am using the newest iPod Video 80GB, I don't know if that will make a difference or not, but both my sisters have different Nano's and they work the same way that mine does.

  • I have a PC, Windows 7 x64. I installed a plug-in in Elements 13. I tried to installed another plug-in. It replaced the first plug-in . Can't I have more than one plug-in at a time??? If so, how?

    I have a PC with Windows 7 x64. I have Elements 13. I installed a plug-in (Topaz) which appeared under the Filter Menu.
    Then I tried to install my new Canon Printer software plug-in which put it under FILE > AUTOMATION TOOLS. However, when I tried to use TOPAZ under the FILTER MENU it was gone. In other words, the Canon printer plug-in replaced my Topaz plug-in. When I reinstalled the Topaz plug-in, it replaced the Canon Printer Plug-in.
    QUESTION: Can't I have more than one plug-in installed in Photoshop Elements 13 at a time? So that the Canon printer plug-in is in AUTOMATION TOOLS, and the Topaz plug-in is under the FILTER menu?

    Have a look at this thread.

    Before you try some of the suggestions bear in mind that your iPod is still under warranty.

  • If I have more than one library, how can I upload all photos to iCloud??

    I have a couple of different iPhoto libraries. Now that I've upgraded to photos, I am using iCloud and it is currently uploading all the photos & videos from the library Initally opened. How can I upload the other libraries into iCloud?  Will they automatically upload once I use the option key and open the different library?? 
    Also, does Photos need to be running for things to upload to iCloud?
    Thanks!
    Kristin

    See the quote below from Designate a System Photo Library in Photos - Apple Support
    iCloud and the System Photo Library
    You can use iCloud Photo Library, iCloud Photo Sharing, and My Photo Stream only with the System Photo Library. If you choose a different library in Photos without designating it as the System Photo Library, the iCloud tab in Photos preferences is disabled:
    If you designate a new library as the System Photo Library and then turn on iCloud Photo Library, the photos and videos in the new library will merge with those already in your iCloud Photo Library. If you want to keep the contents of your photo libraries separate, don’t turn on iCloud Photo Library for more than one library in Photos.

  • Can single site have more than one site navigation???? In WPC

    Hi,
    I am new to WPC, my doubt is can a single site contain more than one site navigation ( navigation.wpc) ??
    let me bit more clear....
    I created a site, created navigation nodes, created web pages and then published site navigation, copied the path from navigation.wpc, used that path in a worksets "external connections".
    Up to here every thing is clear and i did what I wanted.
    NOW,
    I want to create a new web page which will be part of above navigation path ( navigation.wpc).
    I create a web page under same site and used that navigation, and when i used this path in new workset, its again showing me previous content added new web page in detailed navigation of portal.
    I want this web page should be part of second level navigation which will not connect to previous one any where.
    at last my question is.... can I have more than one navigation paths under single site?
    Is it possible? if yes, How? give me steps...
    Thanks in Advance...

    Hi there,
    I had the same problem and I THINK I found a way to fix it, try creating a Site inside another Site, this way:
    1. Create a New site in the "Sites" folder, let's call it "MyMainSite" (Web Content / Sites / MyMainSite).
    2. Open that new site "MyMainSite", there you will find 4 folders, right? Entry Points, Site Content, Site Navigation and Web Pages.
    3. Then click at "New" and choose "Site". Here you're creating a Sub-site inside your MainSite, got it? Name this site as "MySubSite"
    4. You'll find a 5th folder called "MySubSite", open it.
    5. So, you have again the same structure with the 4 folders (Entry Points, Site Content, Site Navigation and Web Pages) and when you create your nodes in the Site Navigation structure you will have a new "navigation.wpc" file, but with a different path.
    Technicly it's not very nice, but it works, right?
    I hope this helps

  • Can a PC have more than one iTunes account on it?

    Can a home PC have more than one iTunes account on it?  What happens if I log into my iTunes account on someone else's PC?  I don't have access to my own PC and want to download more music onto my gear.

    1. Yes. Use separate user accounts on the computer; if desired, you can instead launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and create a new iTunes library, but this won't have separate preferences.
    2. Nothing will happen to the existing content. If you're syncing an iPhone, iPod, or iPad, click here.

  • Can't sync to more than one library at a time

    I have deauthorised my desktop running XP,installed latest version of iTunes on laptop running Vista and authorised. Connected iPod to laptop and tried to sync but keep getting message that "iPod is already synced to a library and cannot be synced to more than one library at a time." How do I get my library from desktop to laptop?

    *How do I get my library from desktop to laptop?*
    If our iPod is large enough to hold all of your iTunes it can be used as an external drive and you can move the iTunes folder from the old computer onto it and transfer everything to the new computer: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    Alternatively you can copy the contents of the iPod directly to the new computer. Connect your iPod to your new computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    Floola Mac & Windows
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible - Windows version only)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.

  • Why can't I paste more than one page at a time?

    I have a problem with Pages when I try to paste more than one page worth of content at one time.
    In my business I have a form online for clients to fill out. When the clients have finished the form, I copy the form (saved either as a safari document or as a pdf) and then try to paste what I have into Pages. It should flow to fill out four pages, but for some odd reason it only fill the first page of a Pages document, then it gives me a second blank (empty) page. So the document is two pages long, but only the first page has content.
    I know the pasted information is hidden in the document, because if I were to cut (erase) a few lines of content, the pasted information would appear from the bottom of the page to fill the space I just made.
    Why is Pages not making a four page document containing all my pasted information? Why isn't it flowing to fill out as many pages as it takes to show all the information?

  • Why can't I print more than one page?

    I'm pring a lafge text:
    <af:inputText id="it1" value="#{main_bean.resp}" readOnly="true"
    simple="true" rows="#{main_bean.kvitRows}" styleClass="AFStretchWidth"
    visible="true"/>
    That is I use one af:inputText with many rows.
    To send it for pring I use JavaScript.
    <af:resource type="javascript" >
    function printPage(evt){
    window.print();
    evt.cancel();
    window.close();
    </af:resource>
    When printing it clips the text. If the text is more than one page it print only one page. I need to continue printing on the next pages (not to clip). When printing othe web-pages it distributes it onto several paper pages.

  • Why can't I list more than one e-mail addressee suddenly?

    I think since downloading Mavericks my mail program does not allow me to put more than one contact in the To box. Very frustrating. I
    don't see anything in Mail preferences that will address this problem.

    But the first addressee is no longer inside a blue oval. So, unfortunately, your suggestio does not answer my question.
    Another change to mail is that when I try to send an attachment based on text in Pages, only part of the text appears in my outgoing e-mail. Has Maverick messed things up?

  • Why can't I type more than one space in a split-view in DW

    Say, I am an a split view in a Dreamweaver CS5 and I'm typing in the right view (whatever it's called), but for some reason I can't type more than a single space there. Can I disable that?

    Thank you, Curtis. One thing that needs to be added to your post is that one has to restart DW for this setting to take effect. (Well, that may be a bug.) But it still doesn't fix the issue (read below.)
    As for the other two comments, I hate when people try to pigeonhole something without even trying to understand someone's situation. Did I say that I would be using it for a layout?
    Here's why I need it. Say, I'm working on typing a paragraph of text. My preference is to have DW in a split-view, with the HTML being displayed on the left and the "result" view on the right. That view on the right allows me to type in text directly into the page w/o worrying about HTML semantics -- very handy feature, except one little detail. Say, I have the following snippet of text, "This is some sample text" and I want to edit out the word "some" with the phrase "very important". So I highlight the word "some" and begin typing. Everything goes well when I finish typing "very", but as soon as I put a space to begin typing the word "important", something in DW makes the resulting phrase to look like this: "This is very importantsample text" Notice that the space after "important" was removed. You see, I'm not used to adding spaces after each of my edits (and that is how 99% of word processors work in the world) so my documents started to miss spaces and it took me awhile to figure out why. I was truly hoping that Curtis' suggestion would fix the issue, but even though I can add more than a single space, DW still removes spaces for me automatically, like I just explained above.
