How To Set Up Multiple iTunes Libraries

http://www.techtalkwithchad.co.nr

Does your family share one computer? Are you tired of having to sync all your iPods to the same library? Well, all you have to do is make new libraries! Then, each person can have their own library and be able to sync their iPod or any device to it!

THANK YOU! I have been looking everywhere to make my daughter her own library. It worked GREAT! Can we share songs?

[chadt4]

@hpontif You can import songs you have on your computer into the other library

woooow. i did you steps and MY iTunes got DELETED !

[chadt4]

@biggf1717 Not my fault you did it wrong.

@chadt4 Alright thanks man. But when you plug in your device to the computer, whether it's an iPod, iPhone, or ipad, iTunes automatically pops up. So how can you hold down the 'shift' key and click 'create library' when iTunes automatically comes up when you plug in your device?

[chadt4]

@NHLcrazy95 For the first time just close it and reopen, but once you have it all synced it should detect what library it's synced to and automatically open that one.

Ok worked now. Had to keep the shift key down until that prompt appeared.

i did the SHIFT and clicked on the Itunes but that option does not come up on mine. The full library launches. Help please thanks

I thought mine was deleted too but it is in there, you have to keep looking. If you did it just like he tells you it will work. Do what he says and when you choose libraries its kinda hard to get the hang of it at first but I finally found mine. I was getting nervous.
